Came here to echo this. Also, it always amazes me how many people respond to warnings like this (as seen in this thread as well) saying lower-resolution displays look just fine. I returned a M2 Mac Mini solely because it looked so awful on all of my monitors -- I tried 2 different 32" 2k displays, plus a handful of 24" displays. Everything was fuzzy and awful looking. Not something that could be tolerated or ignored... Completely unusable. I feel like this fact is not well known enough.

The fact that so many seem to tolerate "low-res" or "mid-res" displays on the current M-series Macs is really puzzling to me... maybe my eyesight isn't as bad as I thought it was and everyone else's is a lot worse!?

This new M4 mini is tempting enough that I might try a Mac again... but this time I am definitely going to have to budget for a 4k/5k display.
> Here Cifaldi clearly acknowledges that emulation is a powerful means of piracy that has done irreparable damage to the intellectual property rights of game developers.

Why didn’t you say profits?

The game developers didn’t lose their right through emulation.

And how much profit they lose is to debate because the film industry claimed the same with billions of damage as if every pirated copy would have been as sold copy without piracy.

Author here: I use a Logitech G Pro X Superlight but also I use the i3 window manager and rely on keyboard shortcuts for a lot of the navigation. I have the mouse sensitivity set so that the cursor can traverse the width of the screen when moving the mouse about 13 cm, without any acceleration. This is still precise enough that I can move the mouse pixel by pixel if needed.

Hey guys, I’m honestly not sure how to explain this—I’m not a mathematician but a culture and media scholar to whom talking with AI comes quite naturally. I worked on this for past 2 months 12-14 hours a day as it began to develop into something unique… a sketch for maths without infinity (in any sense of the term). AIs claim it’s legit. A few friends with phds in maths and physics claim that… its mind-boggling but they can’t find serious flaws in it. It all started as a philosophical deep-dive with AI on civilization’s “programs” and somehow evolved into revisiting Pascal’s probability, but with a twist from thermodynamics. Then it spiraled into what I can only call Void Theory—a framework that feels almost surreal and dogmatically realistic in its approach to math as a system that exists in a material world.Due to its posthuman origins it would take ages to spread traditional way and I think it would be a waste of time. I can promise you that - at least as a kind of experiment - it’s fascinating and, maybe, can be something quite big. Be so kind and give it a chance… https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dBSWahEz_9kbyK-PGXxZ...

Yes - I just tested on Win10+11 because I thought "there is no way I didn't accidentally do something like this on accident... and I would have remembered seeing a new line in my file name when I made that mistake."

I just opened a folder in file explorer, clicked 'rename' and then tried the following combinations:
Enter
L Ctrl + Enter
L Alt + Enter
Win + Enter
R Ctrl + Enter
R Alt + Enter

None of them let me put new lines in the filename - it either did nothing, or 'closed' the rename view.

What you really need to match is the angular resolution in microradians from your eye. You can make any screen smaller by sitting farther back. That said, I do wish my TV was only 42". I guess if you really want the ppi to be exactly the same as a 27" 5K screen, then 27 * 7680 / 5120 = 40.5".

> SpaceX's advancements are impressive, from rocket blow up to successfully catching the Starship booster.

That felt like it was LLM generated since that doesn't have anything to do with the subject being discussed. Not only it's on a different industry but it's a completely different set of problems. We know what's involved in catching a rocket. It's a massive engineering challenge yes, but we all know it can be done(whether or not it makes sense or is economically viable are different issues).

Even going to the Moon – which was a massive project and took massive focus from an entire country to do – was a matter of developing the equipment, procedures, calculations (and yes, some software). We knew back then it could be done, and roughly how.

Artificial intelligence? We don't know enough about "intelligence". There isn't even a target to reach right now. If we said "resources aren't a problem, let's build AI", there isn't a single person on this planet that can tell you how to build such an AI or even which technologies need to be developed.

More to the point, current LLMs are able to probabilistically generate data based on prompts. That's pretty much it. They don't "know" anything about what they are generating, they can't reason about it. In order for "AI" to replace developers entirely, we need other big advancements in the field, which may or may not come.
That means we squandered almost 10,000 years of human history before humans became an advanced civilization. We could have invented flight, discovered antibiotics, etc five thousand years ago.
My 4K 55” monitor mostly serves me quite well, but I’ve been a bit annoyed by the low pixel density. Wonder if my Macbook can drive an 8K one.
The DPI of this screen is too low for all the drawbacks. Would rather have crisper text (150+ DPI, 200 preferable) and/or be able to carry it myself. Needs to be about 42" for that.

But what is an unmodifiable system? If it's code in your control, it can be changed, right?

There used to be an easy answer to this, now it's not politically or morally acceptable to support: colonization.

This is likely a very naive question, but how did the spoofer know his IP was participating as an internal Tor node? From what vantage point can that be seen? I imagine internal Tor nodes must know to connect to each other, so it must propagate through Tor. Is the attacker also a Tor node? Is it trivial to map all Tor hosts?
What are you reading in that decision that suggests Prodigy was doing moderation beyond what we'd expect a typical internet forum to do?

This is the relevant section of your link:

> Plaintiffs further rely upon the following additional evidence
in support of their claim that PRODIGY is a publisher:

> (A)promulgation of "content guidelines" (the "Guidelines" found at
Plaintiffs' Exhibit F) in which, inter alia, users are requested
to refrain from posting notes that are "insulting" and are
advised that "notes that harass other members or are deemed to
be in bad taste or grossly repugnant to community standards, or
are deemed harmful to maintaining a harmonious online community,
will be removed when brought to PRODIGY's attention"; the
Guidelines all expressly state that although "Prodigy is
committed to open debate and discussion on the bulletin boards,

> (B) use of a software screening program which automatically
prescreens all bulletin board postings for offensive language;

> (C) the use of Board Leaders such as Epstien whose duties
include enforcement of the Guidelines, according to Jennifer
Ambrozek, the Manager of Prodigy's bulletin boards and the
person at PRODIGY responsible for supervising the Board Leaders
(see Plaintiffs' Exhibit R, Ambrozek deposition transcript, at
p. 191); and

> (D) testimony by Epstien as to a tool for Board \Leaders known
as an "emergency delete function" pursuant to which a Board
Leader could remove a note and send a previously prepared
message of explanation "ranging from solicitation, bad advice,
insulting, wrong topic, off topic, bad taste, etcetera."
(Epstien deposition Transcript, p. 52).

So they published content guidelines prohibiting harssment, they filtered out offensive languages (presumably slurs, maybe profanity), and the moderation team deleted offending content. This is... bog standard internet forum moderation.
FWIW I almost never ask it to write code for me. I did once to write a matplotlib script and it gave me a similar headache.

I ask it questions mostly about libraries I’m using (usually that have poor documentation) and how to integrate it with other libraries.

I found out about Yjs by asking about different operational transform patterns.

Got some context on the prosemirror plugin by pasting the entire provider class into Claude and asking questions.

It wasn’t always exactly correct, but it was correct enough that it made the process of learning prosemirror, yjs, and how they interact pretty nice.

The “complete” examples it kept spitting out were totally wrong, but the information it gave me was not.

Yes for the vast majority, the immediate weather conditions can be ascertained by looking out the window.

I'd like more accuracy for the next 1-5 days as that's the time horizion I tend to use to plan to work outside on various projects, and am often frustrated by rain when the prior day's forecast didn't anticipate any. Or the opposite.
In plain HTML, you can't do:

custom-validity={value.length ? "Fill out this field" : ""}

you can only use a static string for an attribute. So you'd need an event handler to set custom-validity from javascript when the input value changes, then a handler to setCustomValidity when custom-validity changes.

In other words, it's the same exact imperitive interface as setCustomValidity, except with an extra layer and the extra event handling has to be implmented along with it.

If I had a say, I'd go for an interface where custom-validation would take a javascript function name, and that function would take the value as input and optionally return a string with a validity message. Or it takes a javascript snippet like onclick, except one which returns an optional string value. Then again, there wouldn't be much difference from onchange.

Edit: to counterbalance some of the criticism, I think the article is very nicely written and formatted, and the interactive components are a good touch.
That's almost correct. I generally agree with hover == focus as a Window Manager level thing, but for document inputs within an application I still prefer required user interaction to set the focus location. E.G. a click, a tab, just move the line forward.

The correct context model is to not select an element for scrolling until it has been made the active element, and that UI element SHOULD have some sort of embellishment to make it obvious that's the focus.
> My suspicion is that at least some of these medical record review studies are just driven by confounding - people who find out about GLP-1 agonists are better educated, wealthier, or have behavioral/lifestyle traits that explain many of the apparent benefits.

This exactly. There was a recent paper about Ozempic and (IIRC) dementia that saw that the drug acted implausibly quickly to prevent illness -- the Kaplan Meier curves were literally separated at day 0. [1]

Confounding is rampant in this area. The people who published the paper I linked below should not be scientists. It's embarrassing. Anyone who cites it in support of Ozempec as a miracle drug has revealed that they don't know what they're doing, and should be ignored, with prejudice [2].

More generally, it's depressing that so many people are piling on here to tell you that you're wrong, based on little more than their "knowledge" that obesity is bad. The fact is that most of the science around GLP-1 agnoists and anything other than obesity is weak, to say the least.

[1] I believe it was this paper. Certainly, the KM curves in this are ridiculous: https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/alz...

[2] Sadly, this appears to include the "Alzheimer's Association"...though you sort of understand why they're biased in favor of miracles.

EDIT: I am just now realizing that Derek Lowe is citing this paper. Oy vey.
Except cursor is the fireworks based on black powder here. It will look good, but as a technology to get you to the moon it seems to look like a dead end. NOTHING (of serious science) seems to indicate LLMs being anything but a dead end with the current hardware capabilites.

So then I ask: What, in qualitative terms, makes you think AI in the current form will be capable of this in 5 or 10 years? Other than seeing the middle of what seems to be an S-curve and going «ooooh shiny exponential!»
It's usually lack of knowledge/understanding and simple inertia, "this is how we've always done it."
You said it, those tests are designed to measure human intelligence, because we know that there is a correspondence between test results and other, more general tasks - in humans. We do not know that such a correspondence exists with language models. I would actually argue that they demonstrably do not, since even an LLM that passes every IQ test you put in front of it can still trip up on trivial exceptions that wouldn't fool a child.
I can imagine a distant future in which humanity makes regreening the planet its number one priority.

Actually probably not because humans have shown themselves as a group to put self interest over group interest even in the face of the end of civilisation as we know it.

What about people who, with their current habits, are on the bottom range of what is considered "normal" weight (in the BMI sense) or already underweight?

I love my 65" LG GX OLED as daily driver for work and gaming. See https://www.theshepreport.com/p/the-shep-report-holiday-tech... I came from an ubutto revolution cockpit setup with 4 monitors, the ergonomics were awful.

With the LG I'm about a meter or less away from screen and use window management tools to pull focus to the center lower section for any focused work. I run Win 11 from an RTX3080 card with a 2.1 HDMI cable. 3840x2160 120Hz.

For gaming I just use windowed mode and use the full width of the 65" but just the lower half usually for COD or FPS games. I don't notice any eye strain or other issues but do run everything I can in dark mode including using the browser with the Dark Reader extension.

I've been watching the Ancient Apocalypse (S2) on Netflix and I had similar thoughts on discoveries. With drones and lidars we can discover so many of these villages/towns/cities, but the challenge would be to actually send boots on the ground and excavate into getting meaningful data/findings.

Sparse Matrix Neat Examples [video]
It is very annoying because a PC motherboard using a coin-cell battery to maintain the clock can often go years without changing the battery (yes I know many of them will eventually leak but it can take decades).

There's also a US-wide time signal on WWV/WWVB - WWVB having a very simple binary-coded decimal time signal at 35 bits per minute.

Alarm clocks could dispense with the battery entirely by using non-volatile storage for the settings and alarms then using the WWVB signal to set the time. Upon resumption of power it could easily configure itself with no user interaction required.

Ironically my old alarm clock from the very early 2000s supported WWVB (with a physical switch for local time zone) but it still used non-volatile RAM for the alarm so upon losing power it would come back, get the correct time within a few minutes, but completely lose all alarms. Infuriating then and now.

It's the subtle errors that are really difficult to navigate. I got burned for about 40 hours on a conditional being backward in the middle of an otherwise flawless method.

The apparent speed up is mostly a deception. It definitely helps with rough outlines and approaches. But, the faster you go, the less you will notice the fine details, and the more assumptions you will accumulate before realizing the fundamental error.
