I am having trouble finding it now but I used to use a Picture in Picture extension that just made the controls more apparent (I use Brave and you have to do a menu dive for it by default). The extension had been featured by google when I added it.

At some point they signed on with a monetization scheme that:

- Redirected you through its sales attribution url any time you accessed a store (which bounced you to the site's front page instead of your search result)

- Rearranged your search results to put its affiliated stores at the top

- Marketed itself mainly to retailers as an ad network with no mention of browser extensions anywhere.

If it werent for the annoying redirect I probably would have never noticed that something was wrong.

That is why I love NixOS - migrating machines is trivial, as long as you are OK with using Linux, or finagle with macOS.
It doesn't but if you're putting this into a script that's ok. You can set the script's shebang to bash so even if your user's shell is using zsh, the script will run with bash.
I have 2 points to say:
First, in all companies that I have worked for DEI was just a bureaucratic corporate fucking "tick the box" bullshit. Maybe it is time we start recognize and acknowledge this part of it too? Nobody is rolling back morality and in most part of tech culture there were no issues in the first place (high concentration of different immigrant cultures, very high LGBT prevalence, ppl on the spectrum, etc.).

Second, while the ability to spread disinformation at scale is a huge danger for our society, I would also prefer to absolutely remove the "squeaky clean" feeling from social networks, for example what you get while visiting LinkedIn, or when people have to use words like "seggs" or "unalived" to avoid idiotic filters. Fuck, I want to be able to say fuck without being downvoted to hell. LinkedIn, despite being the most "positive" social network, is the most toxic and useless one, because all interactions are robot-like. There must be some "dirty" part of 9gag and 4chan present in social networks too. This is what makes interactions sincere. And yes, this brings ugly parts of our societies also to light - racism, bigotry, hate. But there is no light without darkness. I hope by removing some of the guardrails social networks become more "raw", but social too, otherwise its a corporate nonsense space like LinkedIn. You may as well replace all users with chatGPT bots. I may be wrong on this one, though, idk.
It doesn't seem stupid at all. It seems brave and like it has a lot of business value. Why not expose the poor performing managers who are structurally protected by bureaucratic rot. Being a good person is good for business.
HR is to protect the company, first and foremost. Sure, they'll discuss protecting the worker's rights, but that's in order to protect the company from a scenario where a worker's rights have been violated and they have a legitimate complaint against the company.
They did prepare though, 3 days before they got units from north California. If nothing would happen they would be attacked for risking safety of

BTW: which locations in the whole Los Angeles (you know how big it is? actually there's no guarantee the fire works be in LA) you should get fire trucks stationed?

There wasn't any rain registered since April, there were unprecedented (last time we had such big ones was 15 years ago) dry, 100mph winds. This means using air support was also not feasible at the time.

We mostly talk about Palisades, but when watching WatchDuty app, fires were constantly popping up in random places.

It was a nightmare, and it is frustrating to see politicizing the whole thing or criticizing that fire men did something wrong.

Why those people aren't volunteering and helping?

There are some things that is impossible to do with what we have.

Much more effective would be for example having all building up to the latest fire code, but majority are of course old.
Great replay, thanks.
Also i actually wanted to write more to explain my point.

And in no way was i trying to say he isn't greedy, egotistical or a tyrant.
My point was not about his methods nor his person.

I believe if more people acted like him it wouldn't be as bad for (F)OSS compared to how it would be if (even) more companies base their whole existence on specific OSS but never give back or support.

Not sure why i got flagged though. downvotes i expected, but flagged? Sure it wasn't you.
You were right to be concerned. From the article:

"Plant-based protein powders were the most contaminated, containing five times more
cadmium than their whey-based counterparts."
I admit I haven't run the calculation myself, nor even asked OpenAI (or other AI, which are almost certainly capable of doing it), but I heard a presentation say the number is off by a factor of 3. To me '3' is best described as "no where near an order of magnitude". Since there's no way we're measuring the radius of the universe nor the mass in it accurately, I think being off by only a factor of 3 is astoundingly "accurate". When you're dealing with many many orders of magnitude like these astronomically large numbers, and you end up being only off by 3x that's actually pretty close. Too close to be an accident. If the theory was "wrong" it would be off by many orders of magnitude.

Why, though? If you just wanted a small form factor computer to run Linux on, there's no lack of modern hardware that'll do a much better job of that. Running old versions of Mac OS is what makes this hardware interesting.

Fwiw my dad had a masters in biology and a PhD in botany, but was an instructor for biology in the local community college (“Mount San Jacinto Community College”). I guess technically he had a PhD, but not in the way most people would think
That's all nice and fun until you want to pass stuff around and some objects might outlive the arena. Do you keep the whole arena around, do you copy, do you forget to do anything at all and spend a few days debugging weird memory bugs in prod?
Humans both are a part of nature and are distinct from it at the same time. It is wrong to dissolve humanity into its natural constituents just as it is wrong to turn humanity into something totally Other or supernatural standing above nature. Both can be true.

Apache DataFusion
The D compiler has an option to generate a "header file" from D modules. It's called a .di file. It's useful if you want to hide the implementation from a compiler, as you would with libraries.

As it turned out, though, people just found it too convenient to just import the .d file.

But as a very unexpected dividend, it was discovered that the D compiler would generate .di files from compiling .c files, and realized that D had an inherent ability to translate C code to D code!!!! This has become rather popular.
In rust, you still can’t get mutable access to any object in two threads at the same time in a non-thread safe way.

In “very rough c++ish”, stuff in a shared ptr is immutable unless it is also protected by a mutex.
That's their right, but complaining about it isn't how I like to do things. I don't want to read it, so I don't visit Bluesky much at all.

I'm more interested in ideas on how to adapt and move forward and be resilient. To be honest, I kind of like to have my beliefs challenged as well, and X provides that.
> Fire departments do not have the equipment
> nor the personnel to handle "the entire city is on fire" events.

True, but in fire-prone areas—such as those so high-risk that insurers refuse coverage—we might need to consider a different approach. Whether it’s specialized equipment, additional staffing, or other protective measures, some system should be in place specifically for those regions..
As I recall it was kinda twitchy because Linux let you have multiple consoles open, and the scrollback was handled via VGA text memory, which was divided evenly between the consoles. So if you changed the max terminals in… grub? You got proportionally more or less scroll back.
There's more evidence for this Black Hole theory than there is for the Big Bang, but not it's not like there's any laboratory experiment that can be done afaik. It's all about measuring things in astronomy. Big Bang theory at this point is hilariously wrong, and doesn't fit much evidence nowadays. Big Bang is disproven.
The last batch of fires were, AFAIK, caused by under-maintained PG&E infrastructure. I would not be surprised if it turns out these were, too.
> not federated and centralized

That's curious to me, because I see those as roughly opposed (both are proxies for organizational systems). NNTP (usenet): clearly federated (works by flooding). DNS: the religious obsession with the "one true root" doctrine, while it makes sense in the context of a global naming scheme (anybody advertising false root should be shot, according to Mockapetris), hampers the technology's adoption for other purposes. Global internet routing i.e. BGP is still pretty much federated.

>Startups can outcompete the Foundational Model companies by concentrating on creating a very domain specific model, and providing support and services that comes out of having expertise in that specific domain.

Well-put because the business is focused and to-the-point from the beginning.

For those applications where this gets you in the door to the domain, or gets you in sooner, this can be a competitive advantage. I think Lukas is pointing out the longer-term limitations of the approach though. I thought this would extend from 1980s electronics myself.

You could edit this however:

>Startups can [prosper] by concentrating on creating a very domain specific model, and providing support and services that comes out of having expertise in that specific domain.

And it may hold true anyway and you may have a lifetime of work ahead of you whether or not the more-generalized capabilities catch up or not. You don't always have to actually be competitive with capitalized corporations in the market if you are adding real value to begin with, and the sky can still be the limit.

>the most accurate domain knowledge always tends to involve internal data.

>Incumbent hyperscalers . . . tend to have more leverage when it becomes this type of data

That can help as a benchmark to gauge when a person or small team actually can occasionally outperform a billion-dollar corporation in some way or another.

I'm no Mr. Burns, but to this I have slowly said to myself "ex-cel-lent" similarly for decades.

It's good to watch AI approaches come and go and even better to be adaptable over time.
As someone who grew up on Macs and missed out on games like Alice and Arkham Asylum that weren't released on Mac when they were popular on Windows, I'm kind of shocked to see such enthusiasm for the Mac as a retro gaming platform.

I know a lot of them did eventually get Mac ports. I remember playing Braid on my iMac with a Wiimote in the early 10s.
This works great with terminals that can handle ligatures. I've used it with Kitty and recently tried it with Ghostty. The author shows several different examples using the fonts to make groups of 3 digits within larger numbers easier to read by adding underlines, grouping numbers closer, bolding numbers, and adding virtual commas. I say the commas are virtual since they are only visible by the font rendering, if you were to copy and paste the numbers the commas would not be included.

The author provides a font patching tool, however mentions that it does not preserve existing ligatures.

This font can be useful when looking at large numbers. I've used it with successfully with Visidata in sheets with large numbers.
I prefer the public accountability of corporations as opposed to anything else.

It’s more honest, and is one of the few things regular folks can do that leaves a very obvious paper trail if something goes sideways.

I would say this is a positive development for society. Corporations have benefitted for too long by cultivating fear of speaking out. I’m glad it’s changing.

I genuinely don’t understand why this is a bad thing
They absolutely give cookie data to Google for marketing their products, and they absolutely give targeting data to Apple News publishers. Funny how they don't let you uninstall or disable Apple News even on Mac, let alone iOS, which was already known to be locked down for Apple's profit.

What do you mean? `Serialize` and `Deserialize` are not part of std.
Yeah, it's not definitive, but was nice to see it addressed at all. GPT mostly corroborates their basic claim at least, with the caveat that one of the five protein sources in use (algae) can be high-risk depending on where it was sourced from. I would of course much prefer if they published a certificate of analysis for each batch.

> must exactly match

Yup. My compiler kept a list of which switches would perturb compilation and so would invalidate the precompiled header, and which did not.

Precompiled headers are an awful, desperate feature. Good riddance.
Could it be kinder, at times, to play to the cultural norm? If people have been raised to say "sir" to their boss, could asking them to do otherwise cause them discomfort without benefit?

I have struggled with this myself, as I don't believe work hierarchy should convey any fundamental difference between people, and we are best off treating each other as equals.
I enjoy Rust, but have settled on Kotlin for my language of joy. I use it in my day job for Android, but also recently started converting personal project backends and APIs to it (mainly from Ruby). I really like the ease and joy Kotlin gives me, and if I need a very high performance or very low level project/library, I'll write it in Rust. Rust is too slow for me (when coding), so a bit too low level I guess. In Kotlin I can express everything I want.
The delineating line here is:

- Is the employee including enough information and examples, and are those specific and strong enough, to communicate the toxic behavior?

- Does the employee strip out emotion from their post?

If yes, it tends to be well received. I.e. "Yes, that is shitty behavior that shouldn't happen in a workplace"

That's the difference between spotlighting and venting.

The former highlights something that objectively exists; the latter is more about you.
Most people have fear about this sort of thing. Even once you quit. Like maybe if you post something you won’t get hired back. Employee speech outside of work environments should be protected. But I think as long as people have something to lose, they will censor themselves. Young people have little to lose.

Nvidia's AI empire: A look at its top startup investments
Unless the article has been updated there is no omission.
This is hilariously a-historic, and companies are still getting off with an absolute slap-on-the-wrist both from actual regulators, and from these maverick employees who trash them on social media.

If they still don't like that maybe we need to go all the way back to what got us the weekends we love and 40 hour work weeks: blowing up rail bridges and throwing bricks of C4 in police cars.

It blows my mind how thin-skinned businesses are now. Everybody talks about America's golden age from the end of WWII to the Reagan era when America dominated world markets (because we were the only unscathed nation from that conflict, and we had half of money worldwide) but nobody goes back further and I can't help but think that's because American businesses are quite content, contrary to public statements, with trashing campaigns on social media, specifically because consumer revolt doesn't and never has worked. If you want to know what did work, again: coal miners blew up rail bridges, locomotives, destroyed company assets by the ton, and killed thousands of Pinkerton strike breakers and their partners in law enforcement.

Consumer boycott didn't get us weekends. Explosives did.
It's Just That Bad [video]
I asked a bunch of LLMs using your prompt. The only change was to just use meters.

1622m is most agreed upon. The interesting numbers are the ones with less than 50% agreement. Not sure if they are hallucinations or if they are outdated data.

Click the conversation link in the user message bubble to see the response from each LLM.
That would be part of the medium term plan. Have to hang on as long as I can for now though.
I agree it’s a risk to career connections but disagree that it is “stupid”. We need protections for speech such that people don’t have to fear repercussions.
Not really no. When they were younger, I would set up incentives though.

Now they're in high school and there's enough consequences (they're all in sports and can't play in games if their grades are bad) and I let them do their thing and occasionally remind them of consequences. Also, that trying and failing isn't necessarily bad and is often good.

It's better to let them learn about consequences/cause and effect without much of a safety net before adulthood.
What companies have been burned to the ground on Social Media? Equifax? Wells Fargo? Tesla? Twitter? Uber?

I support civil disobedience but aren't many attempts at civil disobedience by lone actors largely ineffective?

I think its important to call out ineffective civil activism so that individuals can create more effective strategies for creating actual change for the social good.
I think the intelligentsia sold everyone on these ideas really well. It’s hard to say what would have been, but people work with the frameworks they’re given, either directly or indirectly, and some frameworks muddy the waters.
But at the same time, accept it.
Because at scale it creates a culture of whiny little shits that take on this ridiculous world view and are toxic with their Histrionics. Quite frankly they don't shut the fuck up, and they need a healthy shut the fuck up you are not that important, get over yourself. This job isn't a fit? Move on.

You’ve pinpointed the core issue. Politicians have little incentive to invest in preventive measures because, as voters, we rarely reward that sort of long-term planning. And who’s really at fault? We are. We don’t demand enough accountability for prevention when we cast our votes.

If they successfully prevent fires, nobody notices—and no political points are scored.
yesssss. 1993 is when linux found me.

The answer is that it's not binary, despite everyone's insistence on framing it as such. We are a part of nature, but we do have some degree of power and responsibility over it that other species don't. It's not absolute, it's murky and messy, defined by the relative magnitude of power and our estimates of it. I think this framing addresses both our relationship within our ecosystems, above our ecosystems, and in the distant future, beneath some larger cosmic ecosystem that may exist that we don't know about yet.
How disappointing that you are resorting to the ad hominem attacks; we could have learned from each other; we could have connected.

That is the wages of fear. It results in attacks on the things that alarm us, including other commenters, unhoused people, and addicted people. Unhoused and addicted people are nothing to fear.

And on top of that, fear doesn't justify hurting other people. It's a very different thing being afraid and vulnerable, and being afraid and in a position of power. You have a position of power relative to unhoused and addicted people. Power corrupts; powerful people don't have a check on them; they think their hunger or fear or lust or whatever are important, are the natural priority. Your fear isn't a priority over the freedom, rights, and welfare of addicted people.

The only thing to fear is fear itself, according to someone who was smart, courageous, and who had led people through danger we can't imagine, and held positions of great power.

Your theory of how addiction and homelessness work conflicts with what I've heard from many experts I've spoken to and that I've read. That doesn't make you wrong, but look up the research.
These people are just feeding his bad buzz by caring, just let him flail alone in the kid playground, don't feed him.

Can you point me to that chromecast tool or tell how it worked?

I'm in the process of releasing a video player with adblocker for live IPTV on android that can definitely auto-mute the whole adbreak for you if you watch the stream in the player (see my previous comment for link).

But if you are suggesting a system-wide mute triggered by a dormant app as another live broadcast plays in some official app then that's easier in some respects and harder in others because people need to trust the data is accurate. Once we have enough users sharing accurate adbreak data (powered by accurate software with human corrections) we can offer a system-wide mute for ads in any other app playing those known broadcasts.
I'd guess the classname "hide-visually" is not the best, trying to fool an LLM. I'd try "most-important" or "summary" and things alike. And the amount of red herrings should probably exceed the actual content. Probably not good for actual instruction-injection, but at least for confusing an LLM.
