I think ads targeted at minors should be banned outright. I think of ads as business proposals and minors cannot engage in business without their parent's approval.

Of course, things might get murky with regards to teens, because they also use products that adults use, but there are still products made especially for them.
My company does AI Sales Lead Follow-up, and doing this ethically and effectively is a much more complicated problem than they suggest here.

Examples...
What time zone should we be following up in or offering times in
What salesperson should be assigned (aka whose calendar are we using)
Does the prospect ask a question in the form, do you trust an AI to answer that question?
Do you need to place a phone call?
Do you need to send a text (B2C)
How are you gonna do risk management (aka removing people who don't want more contact)
How does this interface with the existing systems
Are you going to let users change the prompts, how, what happens when they make a mistake

Many of these are messy sequential problems where solving each one reveals two more, and trial and error is the only way to get it right.

Which brings up the ultimate question, do you want someone to train their AI system on your sales leads?
Take a look at OpenWRT One.

I'm happy with OpenWRT on a NanoPi R4S, but that doesn't have wifi built in.
And because it runs on arm (there are official arm binaries at julialang.org) you can run Julia on your phone:

Sure, but that also means this kind of syntax does not alienate people just because they don't know what lambda calculus is. And they will appreciate it even more when one day they get curious and look up why it is called a lambda
You don't have to slaughter them, if you get regular heirloom chickens. The ones bred for corporate mass farms, yeah they are better off dead because they are genetic freaks either bred to only be meat and turn into a solid mass of meat that can't really walk or to shoot eggs out like a gatling gun, both of which are horrible for any potential long-term health. But traditional chicken breeds you can just accept having less eggs as they get older. Really the super genetic bred chickens aren't good for backyard growers to start with, you aren't going to consume that many eggs or want to have them so fat and meaty they can barely walk after 3 months.

My parents have had chickens for the last 40 years, never once slaughtered one. They either live to old age, or a predator comes along and grabs a slower older one or two.
12 years ago, I remember this very well.

Does anyone know a JS renderer that supports custom directives?
I think it is fair, because professionals do not use cheap tricks, but at least they are trying to distance themselves when writing a report. I like discussions when Sławomir Sierakowski (from Krytyka Polityczna) is present, because he always have some new ideas, new ways to describe reality. Although, I do not follow Krytyka Polityczna.
curious what brand storage box are you using ?
ARM designers liked and had extensive experience with 6502 - it WAS their bread and butter for a long time - and this might be why the mnemonics are so similar (and carry in subtraction - that might have been for making porting easy, but I won't risk assuming that without a primary source).

They obviously also studied foundational papers on RISC and understood the possibility of having a simple design (such as the 6502, which was very powerful considering its small transistor count) applied to a simple, more regular, instruction set.

Assigning weight to these factors might a futile exercise, as the designers themselves might not agree.

They were not blind to RISC and, therefore, it made sense to put it in the name of the architecture.

Category theory always reminds me of this quip by Feynman:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-eh2SD54fM

When I hear people talking in the jargon of category theory, I do not understand what they say, but I have a suspicion that it is something rather mundane that I would understand if they were using the more specific terms for the given context. I understand the appeal of generalization from a mathematical perspective, but from a practical programming perspective, I fail to understand the value proposition.
The title [of the linked article] is unfortunate clickbait. The interesting aspects (if the article is correct) are that:

* A single pseudonymous jr engineer (3 years graduated from Rutgers) is making edits to the Treasury department payments system.

* The new code is being deployed directly to production rather than going through the regular release cycle (dev, staging, etc).

* There are no tests.

It almost doesn't matter what the code does.
The Legacy of Adobe Brackets – Continued
These "dynamic pdfs" are the anti-thesis of what pdf files are meant to be: static objects containing text that always looks the same. My state dept. of natural resources loves them which means all the regulations are now inaccessible. All I can see in the "pdfs" (not pdfs, pdf shells that are webpages) are the following lines,

"Please wait... If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document."

... because they pull down their actual contents using JS from some website. They are the anti-thesis to what a pdf file is meant to be. Truly the worst of both worlds and a huge step backwards in accessibility and longevity. All that a screen reader can read is the above text.
There's also Schwarz Gruppe (of Lidl fame) that started their own cloud infra with StackIt: https://www.stackit.de/de/

They aren't publicly traded either AFAIK despite being worth over 100Bln.
Yeah except that's not the way it happened. My crimes are taking my ball and going home after being all but forced out for the second time just weeks after my father passed away from cancer and 2 months after I moved across the country.

It isn't like half the Pale Moon userbase ever wanted me there to begin with despite giving them not just an Add-ons Site and a developer wiki/doc site, the Pale Moon for Linux website, but a fully functional XUL platform that survives my involvement and a Pale Moon that is STILL Pale Moon when Moonchild as early as Pale Moon 27 was going to go the cyberfox route of Australis with CTR. So context of a decade of selfless unpaid work of 10-16 hour days every day, forum drama, bad decisions and behavior on my part in response to the response of my selfless work, and relentless attacks such as these no matter if I pop my head out or not?

If you want the full story of the end look it up on Kiwifarms (This was all before them being removed from clearnet so before the stuff you are thinking of) where I was maneuvered towards by 4chan anon people because that was the ONLY venue I had afterwards. For some reason they engaged then moved on.. Left me intact. I don't know why. But it is all there.. A cleaner version is codified in Interlink release notes on the internet archive. I encourage you to learn what actually happened and when and then make your judgement.. If you do that I will accept it even if I disagree with it because I disagree with a lot about my self these days.

Doesn't matter anyway. There are much larger issues now in the world than years old drama that still in the end.. Created the Unified XUL Platform (Take 2, the one that worked) and helps give hope to those otherwise subsumbed by the monoculture. Not that Pale Moon culture is much better but the fact it persists means more than one thing can. I can do better.. and so can we all.. Let's do that while we still can.

This is false equivalence.

There is such a thing as true and false, and there is such a thing as right and wrong.

I know which side's views and plans are almost always on the side of the false and the wrong.

One side wants to divide, one tries to unite, one seeks the truth, the other side does more than lie, it attempts to erase the very notion of truth. One side denigrates, insults and immiserates the weak and the poor. The other attempts to lift them up.

Often in a moral quandary ask yourself 'Which position would be more difficult for me to take?' that's a strong indicator of what is right.

It's easy to divide, denigrate, spread rumours, and to make statements without regards to truth or falsehood. It's easy to hate, to dehumanise and to cause pain.

I've said it in another post. Why are there so many people ready to line up to defend the powerful against the weak, the rich against the poor?

What a brave and noble purpose! I'd love to see you defend that.
Fast forward to now and imagine the breadth and depth of training data Grok is about to ingest.

I'm always saddened when I see an open source project's page say something like "Join us on Discord!"

I can understand an open source project being on GitHub, since, at one point, they were a pretty warm-fuzzy place, and so attracted a lot of open source projects, before they sold out to Microsoft.

But I really don't know how so many open source projects looked at Discord, early on, and thought that's a good idea.

AFAICT, Discord is pretty antithetical to open source and, especially, libre software.
What is the source for the diminishing returns? I would like to read about it as I have only seen papers referring to the scaling law still applying.
Agree with all that in theory. I don't know of a good implementation of it.
In university we we're taught a version of MIPS that was implemented into a decent simulator with an IDE showing the state of memory and registers with fine grained debug stepping. Some quirks of processor pipelines (i.e. nops after branch) could be enabled for realism or turned off to make things easier for new students.

That was pretty great for learning assembly, I can't comment on any other approach - no doubt there are other good options.
Best case scenario this turns out like how California effectively sets automotive emissions standards nation-wide. No state is perfect, but I'd trust California more than any other state [large enough to have this power].

For anyone "California effectively sets emissions standards" is news to: California has the most onerous restrictions. OEMs can pull out and leave California (infeasible due to population), they can meet-but-not-exceed regulations in every state (infeasible due to the explosion of product lines and how each vehicle must then go to a specific state), or they can just meet California's regulations and call it good (what typically ends up happening).

Keeping one set of rules in the company books is hopefully such a simplification that large companies say "Screw it, we'll hit California's standard and just run that everywhere". If America's really lucky, smaller companies in less restrictive states will struggle to hire if they're using the less-safe standards, and the worker-safety floor will rise to "Whatever California says"
The crazy part that I learned when we started keeping chickens is that the eggs last so long unrefrigerated. In the US we have to wash commercial eggs, but we don't wash ours until use. We can keep eggs in our countertop spiral holder for weeks, easily, and they are perfect. Once I learned how old eggs in stores were, I bought more chickens.
The default test runner creates the test database automatically yes, but you can create Django model objects without touching the database, just use the class like a constructor and don't save it: Person(name="Foo", age=30)
> It seems we traded color for quality sometime mid-Century.

Absolutely. My parents have crisp B&W snapshots from their baby years in the early 60ies. They even have old B&W party snapshots from my grandparents in the 50ies, all of which look still great. Then around 1965, the snapshots become colored (not Polaroids), and the quality is... not as good. I wonder of the photographs just aged badly, or if they already looked like that 60 years ago. I also suspect that color film was much more expensive back then than B&W film, and the average consumer just bought the cheapest color films they could get.
Don't forget Kodachrome, especially Kodachrome 25.

But, yes, even Leicas aside, Kodak Retinas among others where pretty darn good. I got my dad's Retina IIIc which I used until it just wore out eventually. And both the Nikon and Canon SLRs in particular were great once they came on the scene though some of the rangefinders from Olympus, Pentax, Canon, etc. weren't half-bad either.
Communist China as opposed to what? The secret non-communist china? The Republic of China?
You can open (and presumably print) it in MS Word, it's just a single page.
I do something similar. Over 90% of my YouTube consumption is with Alfred workflows which use mpv and yt-dlp under the hood. I just press a keyboard shortcut and the frontmost tab closes in the browser and starts playing in mpv.

The remaining percentage is still annoying, as it happens from the phone.
Seems that five minutes ago, this was on the top of the front page. Now it's not in the top 90 entries. Maybe gone altogether.
Plenty of writers work collaboratively, fyi. Even fiction authors like my mother routinely deal with multiple drafts and edits from multiple editors who review and suggest changes, from peer authors to professional editors contracted by the publishing house. And non-fiction authors routinely collaborate, too. I personally know some consequential non-fiction books where another author ghost wrote troublesome sections, not taking credit except in private.

And this ignores the collaborative writing many authors do to pay the bills: technical writing at large corporations, like bank manuals and such, or academic writing at universities. While consistency and standards are enforced, nobody's arguing that everyone else should really indent paragraphs their way, because that's the best way.
Having chickens taguth me that the phrase 'pecking order' is a pretty horrible thing.
The truth is it comes down to the exact details of the policy whether it's legal. There's tonnes of things you can do to increase diversity in legal ways. For example, Google recruits at college campuses, they must have selection criteria for which campuses they visit, no matter what that policy is it's de facto a diversity strategy.

As for whether it's fair. It seems pretty dependent on your view of the world. If your base case is that without any regulations you'll just get the best person for the job, then these programs all look like an aberration. But if your base case is that hiring isn't fair - people hire their family, their friends, people from their alma mater, people from their church etc. Then putting in a programme to mitigate the biases that do exist seems like a reasonable thing to do.
I just used it for my annual Super Bowl party. What a crappy experience.

I sent the link - the receiving person has to sign-in into iCloud using their Apple ID to confirm. That process requires them to authenticate with MFA. Once said and done, they finally mark as attending and I get a nice notification with their Apple ID picture and name. I sent it to several people, only one completed it successfully. Rest just gave up at the login stage.
They're basically indefensible.
sure, let's take advice about words from the person who doesn't know the definition of the ones they are using.
This is too complicated. There's a much shorter working plan:

- fact check exceptional claims

- report factual failures to the source

- if the source doesn't apologize publicly in the same channel, permanently remove it from trusted sources

edit: ok, after the rage comment I realized that one more item is missing: discarding sources with systematic reporting bias (when it is obvious they aren't reporting things that you care about that are happening)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the conclusion from that video seems to be that it's OK to connect Win98 to the internet in 2024, as nothing really happened?

I expected the installation to be infected very quickly, but seems it just got a bunch of port scans and not much more than that.
Because it just doesn't work with shocking frequency.

Maybe 10% of the time I make a purchase online, it shows me a screen where it says it's waiting for my bank to verify, I'll have to input a code or accept a notification or something.

A solid half the time it fails. Either the site decides the transaction was rejected before I even get a chance to respond (within seconds), or I just don't get any notification or code or anything, or I do authorize it and it still gets rejected.
Apologies that I wrote something "low-effort" on my phone while lying in bed at 6AM, sheesh.

To see what was changed, I use the option to download a backup of the configuration, and compare it with an older copy I had downloaded earlier (it's a set of text files, it can be unpacked and compared with recursive diff).

Taking Control with RNA
Constraints and triggers are more limited than the kinds of invariants you can enforce in code.
Critical infrastructure is critical so it belongs in the hands of a few. You can make it reliant on nobody so I have to trust nobody, or you can put it in the hands of a trusted few who I can research and understand. Michelle, Matthew and John GC have done such a good job of building trust we've rewarded them to the tune of billions of dollars. I understand your perspective, I just wanted to share there are other people on the other-side who don't find it shocking and appreciate how it is.
All I can tell you is that when normal people don't understand windows, you definitely are not going to get them to understand windows in windows (which is what tabs effectively are).

I hate all these simplified designs we see in computers now just like most of the other weird people here, but those designs are not for a lack of good reasons.
It's common enough that a bigger percentage of normal people than you'd think probably find themselves using it on sites at least occasionally (Reddit, etc.), even if they don't consciously think of it as Markdown or know all the particulars of the syntax.

The GitHub-style editors are nice in that when a user sees the syntax directly when they press a formatting button in the markdown-toolbar-element, it makes associating a hash symbol with a headline or two asterisks surrounding a word with bold text pretty straightforward. In that sense, they teach you through using it since the syntax is fairly simple for the basics for someone seeing it the first time. Use it a couple of times, and you'll skip touching the buttons--at least for the basics.

That said, I think a Writebook-style editor[0] mentioned elsewhere may have some advantages for people with less computer experience, but I don't think a straight GitHub-style one like this is bad in those circumstances. It's quite good, especially if you pair it with some instructions (whether they be in a modal or whatever have you).

Simulating water over terrain
RISC-V does not have carry and overflow flags in the traditional sense. Which is actually great because it needs you don't have to specify the complicated details of how any single instruction might affect the flags. (And yes, it uses compare-and-branch instructions instead.) It does provide suggested insn sequences to check for overflow, which might be executed as a single instruction in a more full-featured implementation.

The Three Basic Rules of Safety Hygiene
With old color prints (or slides, non-Kodachrome in particular) there's a lot of fading relative to B&W of the equivalent era.

There was definitely a period, when there were really crappy cameras (e.g. Instamatics) for the mass market which were far crappier than any random smartphone these days. And there were really good, often (West) German-made, cameras. I'd have to look up exactly when the good Japanese cameras came along.
I was expecting it to be worse to be honest, but thinking rationally about it, how many people would be targeting win9x these days ?

Security by 'obsolete' !
Ironic when it's faster than Java almost every other way.
"Students understood that the FAA hired virtually everyone who completed the program and passed the assessment."

It sounds like they couldn't hire enough people to fill vacancies. The diversity push could have been an attempt to encourage a wider range of people to consider the occupation.
Interesting blog post from James Damore, author of the infamous Google "Ideological Diversity Echo Chamber" memo while at Google:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google%27s_Ideological_Echo_Ch...

I don't disagree with anything he says here. It must be liberating to not have to defend advertising now that you have no association with Google.

Also, that memo is fascinating because it references work by Simon Baron-Cohen. That last name seemed too close to Sasha Baron-Cohen, and indeed, they are cousins.
People will put up with quite a lot when the costs are unclear or diffuse; nevertheless, billboard bans seem popular in states that have them.
we try in mississippi but the conservatives slowly take away funding piece by piece because they don't want to educate black people, because then they wouldn't be able to control them.
