Yeah, my point is that toggling some settings in Facebook won't do much of anything if you don't want to be tracked by these scumbags. I mean, regardless, your mom doesn't have to do anything if you swap her crappy ISP-provided router with a new router running opnsense or pfsense (and a bit of configuration to block the Meta-related domains). Entire households can become Meta-free with a single hardware swap. It doesn't require that much tech knowledge to do it - the one tech-savvy person in an extended family of dozens can do this stuff.

Local marketing? idk, just thought it was neat to put it on a map. I find it interesting to see the businesses that people in my neighborhood are running
In my experience if you think its time to move, commit to it 100% or not at all.

Offers to stay tend to be full of bullshit.

I have fielded 3 offers to stay instead of moving on, and the only one I regretted was the offer I accepted.

2 of these times, I was basically being offered a "Promotion" but in in both cases it was seat warming duty while the owner ran for the exit.

In 1 of these cases I ended up as a consultant at the acquiring firm, for nearly twice the money, having to coax the seat warmers who took the position I was offered through the process of integrating the acquisition.

Those arent internal moves but the last example isnt far off.

Also: I found that if you are concerned about damaging the relationship, the relationship isnt that strong / worth holding on to.

If a website rates the economist as left leaning it's maybe a sign of the bias in the evaluation and how much the discourse has been pushed to the right (in the US at least)
Yes, it was a serious question, because even before his public Nazi salutes, he already had a history of anti-Semitic tweets online, which were later widely reported in many media outlets, such as the BBC. (I don't use Twitter, and never have, and yet I was aware of his racist viewpoints.) Tesla factories in the USA were also known for poor treatment of black employees. Thus I didn't see his Nazi salutes as surprising behaviour. Shocking, yes, and very repehensible, but unfortunately not surprising.
Fake VS Code Extension on NPM Spreads Multi-Stage Malware
We discover a fake vscode extension that serves a multi-stage malware on npm, Inc.

The package uses javascript obfuscation for downloading the first stage of the malware, than it uses a heavily obfuscated batch file to conntinue into the second phase.

Lastly it leverages preconfigured ScreenConnect remote desktop installer to communicate with the compromised machine.

So many loans in my small town! Since covid it seems like there is so much new money in the town, I guess now I know where it came from. No way all this was spent on legitimate payroll.

I had an LLC but didn't get a loan, I feel like a sucker but, at least I don't feel dirty.
Some interesting discussion in the author's X thread here: https://x.com/zzlccc/status/1887557022771712308
It’s time to stop governments from hacking people’s phones, taking away their privacy?

Users should have control and trust in their devices. If they can be remotely compromised, they cannot get that.
My sister is out of work 50% of the time, her husband is out of work 90% of the time. Their combined yearly earnings are well under the median wage here.

They have 5 kids + 1 foster.

All have iPads. The eldest kid does double duty as nursemaid and has done since she was 7 or so.

Poverty = Kids iPad for me too. I dunno why. Its cheaper than childcare I guess.
It wouldn't surprise me if you could do this with a RP2350, connecting GPIOs to the same location as the 65C02 does on the breadboard and even running emulated 6502 code.

It's totally not the same thing of course. A whole lot of transistors and clock speed go to making that feat possible.
Maybe launched a bit too quickly? You can select "Swedish" for the non-Swedish voices, but the results are very poor. Far from useable. And there is no Swedish voice. So that language support claim is made a bit to soon I would say.

Also I found no way to filter/sort the voice selection modal on language, so I have to visually search the entire list.
How does Meta track me when blocking the JavaScript from Meta controlled urls?
Every time you get one of those surveys rank them at zero, then add "Net Promoter Score is a flawed vanity metric and shouldn't be used for business purposes" in the comment box. Sometimes I link the Wikipedia NPS "Criticism" section as well.

Most places don't care about the results from an actual customer service perspective. The above gets crickets, not even an auto responder.

For companies that do care (tiny startups, mostly) I've gotten IMMEDIATE personal email responses from CEOs and founders asking what they can fix for a zero NPS. That's a great place to link the criticism section if not done previously, and to provide useful, raw feedback on what you love/hate about their products.
Way more, the tool seems to just show a few options until you open the filters and select “search this area.”
Keyboard keycap that runs Doom

The number of hours I've wasted over the years on trying to resolve whitespace problems over the years is... not okay to say the least.

Great writeup though!
It's almost certain that you've agreed to privacy terms somewhere (even if just a misclicked cookie box) that has the lines:

"You consent to processing... by us and our partners..."

Where the partners list includes 400 or so companies, one of which is for sure Meta.

Would this hold up on court? No idea. But I'm sure Meta will happily take you consent and run with it, as will all the other companies.

I guess it's all a matter of perspective but having suffered from some very mild pain and lifelong depression and OCD, I would trade my thick ass 43-year old beautiful blond locks for some baldness if only to be free of my other ills.
My point, and I know I have no right to, but when I see all these otherwise super healthy men spend so much time worried about their (lack of) hair, it's hard to sympathize. But hey, everyone has a cross to bear I suppose.
> $755B was forgiven

I have almost $50k in that number. (1099 income.) It was a waste.

A friend was a senior staffer negotiating that bill. We were together, in 2020, when these bills were drafted and passed. My friend aimed to exempt people like me from forgiveness. I, of course, didn't mind the free money, but know that for my $50k there are the e.g. Ciprianis borrowing millions only to transfer it, immediately, to their personal accounts. Even selfishly, I was a net payer.

They never managed to exempt me. So I applied for the loans, got them, never paid a dime, applied for forgiveness, got it and then walked away. (I didn't fire myself, nor even cut my hours!) Granted, these sums are peanuts compared with the bonanza I'm about to reap with Trump's TCJA mark 2. But at least that's plainly a giveaway to the wealthy.
So how about his tax plan that’ll increase debt by trillions per year over the next decade? Think that’s smart too?

Anyways, this isn’t an audit, and it’s certainly not open. A billionaire and several interns are behind closed doors picking things, NOT the American people. I don’t get why you’re ignoring that, everything Trump is doing points to capturing the government as a techno-oligarchy, not balancing the budget like you claim. I simply don’t understand why you’re ignoring the evidence of your own eyes and ears and actually believing the crap these traitors are saying.
Setting up a piehole at your mom's house would require your mom to do nothing. But it will break a lot of things that she'll prot complain about.
Insular communities seem to be the fate of sites that put a strong emphasis on voting as a way of moderating content. SO gets scraped quite a bit. It's easy to do and even if the knockoff site only gets 0.1% of SO's traffic, it's worthwhile. Being text heavy means it's easy to host and gets good SEO.

If you live in one of the states that has strong privacy regulations send Meta a data deletion request. Or if you are curious about the data they have on you, send them an access request to get a copy of your data, and then a deletion request.

In some cases Meta ignores these requests. If that happens to you then complain to the state regulator. Both sending requests and complaining is easy as sending an email / filling in a form.
You can do a lot with creating your dsl/tooling and something like Coalton really. More than enough imho.
I think there is something to be said about having good defaults and tools that don't force you to be on every last detail 100% lest they get out of control.

It also depends on the team, some teams have a high density of seasoned experts who've made the mistakes and know what to avoid but I think the history on mem vulns show that it's very hard to keep that bar consistently across large codebases or disperse teams.
But it has to emit hundreds of tokens per test. Does that mean it takes hundreds of times longer to train? Or longer because I imagine the feedback loop can cause huge instabilities in gradients. Or are all GPTs trained on longer formats now; i.e. is "next word prediction" just a basic thing from the beginning of the transformers era?
You are comparing a cold blooded killer, to someone who acted in self defense and was acquitted by a jury?

Are you pro rehabilitation to criminals who served their time? And yet you are against rehabilitation to people who have been judged online, and been acquitted by court, just because they fall on the wrong side of your political identity?
Musk had lost it long before Twitter, his K problems were obvious at Tesla, which is one of the reasons I never purchased one.

If you didn't see all the instability when he was calling folks paedos because they were saving lives, while he was snorting whatever he could find, then I'm not sure what else to say. It was never going to end well, yet techbros pumped up his bad ideas and feeding the ego.

Evolution only “cares” (it doesn’t care; you know what I mean) about attractiveness during the time the male is able to procreate. Which is, <= 30 years. After that, the human animal is dead of sickness, malnutrition or a fight. The human person lives way longer thanks to modern medicine and tech. Evolution might “cares” about the male sticking around defending/teaching the family/tribe until he dies. He doesn’t need to be attractive by that point.
It took 20+ years for Amazon to supplant the retail infrastructure in the US. They may just be getting started in Sweden.
Same. I took finasteride (propecia) for a week and it caused ED for 60 days in my early 20s when libido was usually strong. Would not recommend finasteride. Hair did grow back thick, but it was not worth it. Scariest 60 days of my life. Also felt strange because I think it reduces testosterone; I felt more easily upset and different to usual. Difficult to describe and I'm no expert. I was suddenly very happy to be bald, as the finasteride alternative was far worse and a scary experience.

Sure, and I'm no expert on the subject, but when someone writes "a typical Li-ion battery" they mean the common rechargeable lithium battery with lithium cobalt oxide, not lithium iron phosphate. LiFePo4 is not a "typical" Li-ion chemistry yet, unfortunately.

Eh, I personally gave up and accepted that I lost the war. It’s kinda nice to be a normie who doesn’t care about much about it. Basic ad blocking, and just generally not caring about what happens with my data. Does it sound awful? Absolutely! But it feels weirdly free, compared to my 2020-self.

To be very fair though, I just use WhatsApp because that’s the messenger of choice for basically everyone in the world. And Facebook marketplace/groups.
> There’s many ethnic Germans in America, but there’s almost nothing German in broader American law and civic society.

Irrelevant. The disputed fact was that America was not a country of immigrants. The idiotic assertion raised in the parent post is a refresh of the argument that the Mayflower landed settlers and not immigrants, which is nonsense due to the fact that the bulk of the population of the US are undoubtedly immigrants.
I guess you'll be wearing wigs then?

>We found Superficial Self-Reflection (SSR) from base models’ responses, in which case self-reflections do not necessarily lead to correct final answers.

I must be missing something here. No one was arguing that the AI answers are correct to begin with, just that self-reflection leads to more correct answers when compared to not using the process ?
No they are not, they are talking about batteries that contain a lot of lithium. Aside from battery nerds, the finer points of most chemistries are lost the vast majority of people and I doubt even experts would agree with your very narrow definition.

In any case, my point was that the car industry and the storage industry is dominated by a wide variety of batteries (most of them lithium based of course; some might say lithium ion even) that have way better longevity than the article suggests is the key selling point of this new battery chemistry.

I think it's a bit misleading or sloppy. I'd expect better from IEEE.

It's a weird attempt to keep users on the site. Plus those AI generated pages will show up on google, when otherwise there might be nothing or the pages are being downranked due to being old.

Google promotes AI slop above everything else, so may as well get in on the grift before it's too late.
Exactly, and also MIRI catches all of these, so with a tiny little extra effort world is in order again.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, they all are made possible by a single (long-standing) compiler bug that eventually will be fixed.

You say the government found a tiny amount of fraud as evidence there is not fraud. My counterpoint the government doesn't have systems in place to ensure there is no fraud, and I know there is massive fraud, because I am friends with people who do this fraud. Why am I friends with them? Because I am an active member of my church and I help these people, and I know the way they work the system in order to earn cash.

Additionally, I own many rental properties. Some of them I have rented via Section 8. And I am a good landlord, and my tenants trust me. So I sign their forms, and help them work the system, and I don't make them pay me the cash portion of the section 8 because I'm rich and I don't need it. I know how the scams work, the disability, the SNAP, the "my niece lives with me so I get extra payments". It's so incredibly easy to scam the system.

I don't like this! I don't like the fraud! I'm not reporting these people, but it's so ingrained into the process it's just commonplace. I don't want an entire society of people who refuse to get gainful employment because it would jeopardize their welfare benefits. The system is fucked
Also loss of libido, erectile dysfunction. It's a gas. Imagine being 60 years old, working out, doing Botox, taking finasteride, looking great, attracting glances from women 20 years younger. Can't get it up and keep thinking about killing oneself.

Oral low-dose minoxidil doesn't seem to have much in the way of side effects once you get used to it. It even can be mildly cardio protective. Very rare side effects include pericarditis that goes away if minoxidil is discounted.

I don't entirely disagree with some of your points, however, they are not what the recent discussion has been about. Plainly, a maintainer has unilaterally rejected the addition of rust code to assist with DMA and requested that code be duplicated in every driver (which also ignores the fact that the patch never added rust code to kernel/dma to begin with). It strikes many as strange that the experimental addition of rust-based drivers (greenlit by Linus orignally) has come to a head in this way:

"The common ground is that I have absolutely no interest in helping to spread a multi-language code base. I absolutely support using Rust in new codebase, but I do not at all in Linux."
Federalism has always been a fundamental, unresolved issue in American politics. At one end of the spectrum some people think that states should be reduced to mere administrative units and all real power should be centralized at the federal level. At the other end some people think that the federal government should only deal with external affairs, and everything else should be left to the states. The issue is largely a matter of ideology rather than about whether it's making us poorer or whether federal income taxes are too high.

It should remove all whitespace before and after line breaks ("\n"), including the line break itself. And otherwise replace inline whitespace with one space. In pre's keep the whitespace. Well, at least we have display:flex.
