That's correct - today if you want to actually buy Adobe Photoshop, you have to buy from a vendor other than Adobe (and you will miss some recent features).
> Have governments become more authoritarian?

They were always like this. 20 years of state funded education doesn't go into depth on this topic though. 1984 is a warning about a possible future tyranny, right?
Slowly, more citizen rights are being eroded by so-called democratic countries by weaponising legislation to get what the few elite in government want.

Another example was US sanctions against Russia, which led to the Linux kernel maintainers removing Russians. Not all Russians support or endorse the war criminal Putin. Are we going to see Western-allied countries like Apartheid Israel also sanctioned? Probably not. Legislation should not be used as a weapon to promote state propaganda.

Are we really going to block freely-available content on the internet? It seems like decentralisation is key to citizen liberty divorced from any one country's legislation.

> Isn't "normie" a pejorative word (genuine question)?

It depends on the context. It can be a synonym for "average" (mostly neutral) or "mediocre" (pejorative).
Same comment like the one before so writing to you the same:

That doesn’t make sense to me. Lina Khan already doesn’t like Amazon, she cut her teeth at Yale calling them out for antitrust. How is not endorsing Kamala Harris going to smooth that over? And it’s WaPo, which is entirely separate from Amazon as far as antitrust is concerned.

Even within the internal logic of the equivalency between Donald Trump and Lena Khan it doesn’t make sense. It’s pretty clear he is afraid of Trump.
Something tells me this comes up a lot.
You can get some energy quickly from proteins like meat, but you cannot get enough energy for a day of work.

Humans need to get most of the energy either from fat or from carbohydrates like starch, otherwise they die.

Even for the speed of obtaining energy from food, nothing beats a mixture of glucose with fructose, like long-distance runners or cyclists have to consume, if they want to win.

Red meat may be very tasty, but it is not the best for any criterion. As a source of proteins, lean white meat is superior, e.g. turkey breast, chicken breast or fillet from various kinds of fish with white meat, e.g. cod or zander.

As a source of energy, any food rich in starch or in oil is superior and also many times cheaper.

During the last few tens of thousands of years, the humans have evolved to be much better at digesting starch than their ancestors and than most other apes or monkeys, by increasing the ability to synthesize the enzymes used in starch digestion.

So our body physiology has already shifted somewhat from being best adapted to a hunter lifestyle to one where the plant seeds can satisfy most of the energy requirements.

Meat still remains one of the best choices as a source of proteins, but not as a source of energy.
I saw some tweets claiming people would vote He Who Cannot Be Named if McDonalds ice cream machines get fixed.
It’s early days, and I know it sounds ambitious. You might think this is just for privacy fans, but I believe it could become the go-to login for everyone—even those who aren’t privacy-focused—by being as convenient as Google. And with Google facing pressure over its competition with OpenAI, it feels like the right time to rethink who we trust with our logins.

You're right, they don't. This is voluntary censorship by the Wikimedia Foundation. They are free to continue publishing this article everywhere but India.

Presumably they don't want India to ban all of Wikipedia, so they're playing ball.
This would be a good idea except for the fact that IPFS simply doesn't work.
Whatever his reason, this isn't a first amendment issue because it's a private entity constraining its own speech, not the government.
> And by the looks of it, the majority of people.

Where are you getting this? He is down against Harris in most polls, and neither candidate is clearing a majority. There are projections that he has a narrow edge in winning the Presidency due to the electoral college, but that's not the same as being most likely to win a majority (or even plurality) of the votes (e.g., 538 gives Trump currently a 53% chance to win the electoral college, while Harris has a 65% chance to win the popular vote.)
You’re thinking about this too hard. It’s a definitional question. If you have two candidates and you endorse one of them, you’re de facto partial with nothing else playing any role in the definition.
Do they even make a profit on ice creams? I doubt it.
>genocide/ethnic cleansing of a minority religious group

200 people of that minority were killed.

I do not deny there was a mass exodus but to say a minority was ethnic cleansing is disengenous.

Again, my comment was not about the exodus but regarding the politics regarding the last 500 years and more specifically the last 70-90 odd years of history. That has nothing minority-majority issue you are claiming it out to be.

On the topic of exodus, you know it was the governor who ordered that the minority to be removed from their homes ? I know because I was there. You might not.

I understand that trust is a big issue right now, both for users and developers. To address this, we’ve made it possible for users to connect with their existing identities, adding an extra layer of ease and trust as they transition to Eartho.

I totally respect your point, though. Thanks for the feedback!
In this particular case they wouldn't. But yes, C is a problem.
I think the classification engine is likely just like 500 common object classifications. It's quite old and has been around for ages so I don't think it is currently as sophisticated as modern LLMs etc. So "sand" and "face" are probably fine, but "sand on face" might be tricky. No idea though - just guessing from my own personal experience

It was also hobbled quite hard near the start as they had a scare with searches for "gorilla" accidentally returning pictures of black people so they have probably turned all the safety knobs they have up to 11, even if that impacts recall.
By following polls, and the way they are trending. And the odds seem to be moving daily towards Trump, and while we're still in coin toss territory, if this trend continues for the next 10 days, it's really looking bad for Harris, despite the shift in your area.

If I'm wrong, please let me know, as I'd really like to be proven wrong here.
Oh.. sorry for that. Im the Dvir the guy who started this project.
I know it's the privacy policy doesn't fit our values, we did it to give us room for mistakes and learn.

Hope we'll get better in the future !
I think the split is different one. It is between people who want to live in a world where they can imagine themselves being the generous philantropist and people who would like to live in a world where philantropists aren't needed because the need for them does not arise.

We have halloween coming up. Imagine one kid taking all the candy first and then acting as a "philantropist" by giving out a fraction of what would pass as a fair share to other kids — oh and he is making videos of it — and he selects who gets something and who doesn't. Very "effective", especially compared to all kids just getting their fair share.

As a parent I'd go with my kid to a psychotherapist if it did that, because it is not normal. Now that is of course an analogy and things are more complex in a capitalist world, but being an arsonist working in the firebrigade doesn't turn you into a hero even when you risk your life to extinguish the fire.
Wasn't RISC an attempt at addressing that growing abstraction and complexity?
It’s common sense. Now let’s see if it passes legal muster. I’m not so sure. Judges can be bought. And lobbyists … I’m hopeful but I dunno.
As per the US Code, title § 1201(D) "noninfringing uses" including but not limited to non-profit or archival purposes aren't a circumvention of the technological measure. No need to skirt DMCA if the fair use doctrine is in place.
Broken in Safari on Sequoia, unfortunately.
It is, actually. Firefox's PDF renderer on text meeting certain conditions is the only thing I've encountered breaking in a similar way (not rendering text), in almost five years of using this configuration.

I expect it to just render with my chosen fonts. That's what everything else does.
Nice. This is a bad faith argument as we can attempt progress safely without poisoning the entire planet -- within the laws we pay for of course.

I have found that ORM arguments in context don’t stick very well to Django’s ORM, but see the argument applying well to most all the others.

Case in point Django is really good about DB-specific functionality and letting you easily add in extension-specific stuff. They treat “you can only do this with raw” more or less as an ORM design API issue.

My biggest critique of Django’s ORM is its grouping and select clause behavior can be pretty magical, but I’ve never been able to find a good API improvement to tackle that.

We can easily bring the meta level down one more step to conclude that given the editorial staff are individuals with different beliefs, this dictates that they’re impartial to the extent of the (weighted) average of their beliefs.

I’d argue impartiality isn’t a thing in any human domain anyway.
As someone who knows what active persecution on this site is I relish the opportunity to say what I really know under a pseudonym.
Why not just instead, block access to all Wikipedia in India, get some popcorn and see massive protests overturn the situation (and if not done quickly enough, probably result in overthrow of the government or maybe of state itself, because popular protests tend to escalate beyond their original goals as commonly seen in Latin America).
The research paper identifies as the cause of cancer the oxidized Fe(III) ions, which are bound to the hemoglobin from blood or to the myoglobin from red muscles.

Those are the proteins with iron that give to blood the ability to transport oxygen and to red muscles the ability to store oxygen. Similar iron proteins, e.g. the so-called cytochromes, exist in all the cells of all aerobic living beings, but only in amounts many times lower than in the blood and red muscles of vertebrates.

Most of the other iron ions that can be found in water, in food or in iron supplements are reduced Fe(II) ions, which are not involved in this cancer-causing process.
> And neither do we need regulation for what I can say at a family gathering or on the street

It's slightly different, since you don't do your banking, taxes, business, information gathering at that family gathering; nor can malicious actor effortlessly spam misinformation/scams at every family gathering/street.

Especially considering we know multiple countries have extremely active operations online trying to sway opinions their way, it's naive to compare the internet to a neutral public place.

The most salient feature of Russian meddling is playing all sides, both ideologically and in levels of sophistication.

The less-sophisticated efforts are basically misdirection and camouflage. They are intentionally disarming, akin to how their 'strongman' puppets make an effort to bumble and 'accidentally' feed the trolls. Covfefe bigly, if you will.

Which doesn’t matter in the slightest. What’s our best understanding of what’s objectively true? That one side is actually stupid, insane, or evil.

Who’s to be the judge of what people need to know?
I don't see where they outline the difference between games and books. This makes no sense at all. I can see where they would draw a line with proprietary IPs like old Nintendo games, but there's probably hundreds of thousands of games that have no owner.

I'm tired of video games being treated as something that they're not. They're not services and they're not just for entertainment. It's an art form and they become part of the broader culture, not to mention their full potential as an interactive medium has only barely started to be explored.
I'm confused why everybody keeps talking about sanitization when all you have to do is escape a string properly whenever you inject it verbatim into a language, be it HTML or SQL or whatever.

"With software, either the users control the program, or the program controls the users."

- Richard M. Stallman, 2011, writing in Der Spiegel

He was right. He was always right. About all of it. People didn't listen, or perhaps were never introduced to his ideas. Software grew faster than the idea of free software (on some level this was inevitable, since the latter is by definition a subset of the former).

And so, the noose tightened a little more every year.

The remedy has never changed: you must explain to people why freedom is important, and what the terrible consequences are of non-freedom. Refer them to the free software ecosystem, Linux and the FSF. Many will not listen. But whether they listen is to some extent irrelevant. Life is more fulfilling when it is lived ethically. By doing your part to advocate for freedom and against its enemies, you are at least making your own welfare better, and hopefully someone else's too.
The new generic syntax is great as well, the debugging improvements are handy and I do appreciate the new @deprecated. But 3.13 really shines, once again, with the improvement of error messages.

Now when you are a professional dev, you see them less and less, because you make less mistakes, but also because you heavily use tooling to prevent errors or diagnose them.

But if you observe beginners with modern versions of Python, it's quite magical really. The autonomy and confidence they get from those are huge.

The energy that Pablo Galindo Salgado injected into the culture of good error message has been a boon to the language.
See, even the name is misleading because it's not a right - it's really a prohibition. We can agree or disagree about definitions, but I think it is self-evident that defending and enforcing a prohibition on creating zero-cost copies of digital media requires bending over backwards to undo the very properties of the technology that make it desirable to those who want to profit off of it. To me that sure sounds like rent seeking.
If you want to split the categories between normies and neckbeards that's good enough a model of the world to understand the issue.

The part that I miss is we had things in public, collaborations between everyone who was interested in spending the time to access the space. This barrier was enough to keep things feeling like a community, with most of the things like this that came up being able to be addressed by internal arguments.

Now everything has to be robust to the idea that you will have neckbeards and normies interacting, and that curation is required. You have passive users, who's eyes are valuable... contributors, with divergent motivation, some pure for the joy of the project, some who want to put their agenda in front of the first group... And even external state actors pushing things at a scale that's hard to understand.
Yeah, but it was unclear to me whether the beginning was about single or double gzip.
> We have seen it happen many, many times.

Have we? I can only think of wartime censorship (which, even if it was sold for protection from enemy propaganda, was always about morale, so doesn't apply here), and authoritarian regimes, which also don't apply here.
An important detail is what kind of ship piece was pictured in the freebie square. It could be an entire-size-one-ship (a circle), the end of a ship (which would indicate what direction the rest of the ship would continue in), or the middle of a ship (which indicates a size 3 or 4 ship).

I decided to go with the assumption that it was a middle-of-a-ship square, thinking you would more likely have mentioned if it was one of the other two types. Then, based on the numbers around the outside, you can quickly determine whether the ship is horizontally or vertically oriented, and fill in two more squares as a result (and rule out a few more squares as a result of that). the rest of the solution proceeded quickly after that.

I used to do these Battleships puzzles regularly around 15 years ago, when I regularly bought/read Games magazine, which included them. My process, especially for harder puzzles, involved darkening (or otherwise tagging) the boundary between pairs of squares, as I determine that a 2-or-longer ship could not span that particular boundary. Usually based on a logic of "Well, if there was a 2 or longer ship there, there'd be a problem for the next row/column over" or just "there can't be a 2 or longer ship because I'm only allowed to darken one more square in that row/column"

This web-app version doesn't appear to have a mechanic for marking boundaries -- I frequently find electronic versions of traditional puzzles to (understandably) lack the flexibility to support the ad-hoc annotative solving process I developed over the years of solving these kind of puzzles on paper.
This is really cool, I was just thinking recently about something like that. What do you plan to add to it next? What do you think of Go?

I also added an API link to the bottom of the article because some folks wanted help doing some basic calculations of some of the metrics listed. Let me know if they're off or should be changed, or if there's something missing.
The iron supplements normally contain only reduced Fe(II) ions, because only those are soluble in water and easily absorbable in the intestine.

This study identifies only the oxidized Fe(III) ions as causing cancer.

The oxidized Fe(III) ions can have any effect in the intestine only when they are bound to organic molecules, like in blood or in red muscles. Otherwise, the oxidized Fe(III) ions form insoluble precipitates, which either pass through the intestine without any interaction, or they are reduced to soluble Fe(II), which is not harmful, but an essential nutrient.

Nevertheless, an excessively high intake of iron supplements can have various harmful effects, like any other excessive food intake.
Future of Online Tasks
I've been digging into some of the recent research from ICLR 2025, and I saw 20+ papers !!

Tons of new work on web automation, like WebCanvas, AgentOccam, VeSX, and NNetscape Navigator, is pointing to a future where smart agents handle more of our online tasks for us. But with all this progress, a bunch of questions come to mind about how this is actually going to change things.

Figured I'd throw these out for discussion:

1. Is Full Automation Close? – Most of us start any task online with a search and follow a trail from there. Today, there’s no single tool that can do a whole complex task from start to finish. How close are we to an agent that can take over a complete workflow ?

2. What About Ads? – Big companies depend on ads to make money, but if agents can just skip them, what's going to happen? Will they need new ways to keep our attention, or will ads shift to target the agents themselves?

3. Agents Running 24/7 for Us? – Imagine agents constantly monitoring things for us—like tracking prices, reading industry news, or finding the best deals—all day, every day. Sounds cool, but are we ready for this level of constant automation?

4. Agent-Friendly SEO? – Right now, SEO is all about human clicks. But what happens when we start optimizing for agents? Are we going to see a new wave of "Agentic Content Optimization"?

5. Web Macros as a Standard? – What if every website published “web macros” (like example.com/webmacro1) that agents could find and use to complete tasks? Would this make automation easier, or would it lead to a whole new type of SEO arms race?

6. APIs or Macros, or Both? – APIs are the go-to right now for any programmatic interaction, but maybe a mix of APIs and macro mining is where things are headed. Which one will become the standard for web agents?

"IaC at provisioning" means (in practice) a webapp and an eternal root access token that does login over SSH for you behind the scenes.

That's sctrictly worse from a security point of view.

In an ideal world we would have private CAs and short-lived certificates that get bubbled through all the layers of the software stack. Going back to webapps and tokens is a step backwards.
