A while ago I wanted to use Visual Studio and it required a Microsoft account.

I decided I wanted to use Visual Studio enough that it was worth creating a Microsoft account for that purpose.

Then, I never did anything with the account other than use Visual Studio.

At some point, a message popped up in Visual Studio saying "the pattern of behavior for your account looks fraudulent, so we're disabling it". Visual Studio still worked fine.

I'm not sure what they were hoping would happen. They forced me to create an account I didn't want and had no use for, and then they shut it down for fraud when I didn't use it. OK?
I sadly was too young to truly appreciate hl1 (or maybe was forbidden to pay it not sure) - for me the first game that blew me away was Dungeon Keeper and HoMM3 - I still play them from time to time…
Funny, I do exactly the same thing, except it’s .shellrc because it’s for any shell.
Yes, KOReader is the reason to jailbreak a Kindle.

It's way better than the built-in Amazon reader app.
Not comparable, politically or financially

Politically, Trump’s party controls the government and Trump is incredibly popular with his party. Financially, there hasn’t been a rug pull.

The comparable situation would be Trumpcoin gets wiped out in 2026 amidst the Democrats taking back the House.
I moved from Kindle to Kobo for the sole reason that the backlight had tunable color temperature. I've ended up liking it for lot of reasons, including how open they are.

The problem with MBAs is that they rightfully recognize that most people can’t identify if a mechanic is honest or not, so they make recommendations that assume nobody is 100% honest — which is true, but elides all of the value of hiring honest people.

The dishonest mechanic is incentivized to make you think they are honest. The honest mechanic appears honest. Knights and knaves problem.

The problem with government institutions in the USA isn’t MBAs. It’s that sources of corruption / bias were identified and counteracted with rules. And rules. And rules. And rules. And many of those rules appear to counter the common sense of the average person. So the average person believes the institutions don’t hold value. That and politics meant that lots of the laws that govern those institutions assume that no citizen is an honest mechanic and they all need to constantly prove to Vogons that they aren’t dishonest.

A great dive into the last park was done by Jen Pahlka in _Recoding America_.
I never played it, gotta try it out soon!
This is why googletagmanager.com and googleapis.com need to be kicked in the nuts.
Assuming you mean nat46, your description is a bit off. The NAT box doesn't have a single ipv4, it needs a big pile of ipv4 addresses to dynamically allocate whenever a new AAAA record comes through.

But that means it has to intercept all DNS requests and doesn't work with anything it didn't intercept, which seems far from ideal.
That's hilarious/interesting/terrifying, but my naive outsider understanding is that "risks impeachment" is just something opposition lawmaker Leandro Santoro said once, not, like, an impending problem. Anyone know anything more specific/to the contrary?
While I agree that AI talking like that is totally unacceptable, isn't that example of Grok's stupidity at the end kinda useless as an example? Mixing text with images and logic is one thing that (all?) current image generation models are very bad at. I asked ChatGPT to generate the same thing ("create an image of five different basic geometric shapes and label each one"), and it made essentially the same errors as Grok.

If you look at Yuri Bezmenov’s ideological subversion framework (demoralization, destabilization, crisis, normalization), Musk’s actions unintentionally fit the pattern. He constantly undermines trust in institutions (demoralization), creates chaos in media and finance (destabilization), fuels constant controversy (crisis), and normalizes the idea that disruption = leadership. Whether he’s doing this deliberately or just having fun trolling is debatable, but the effect is similar.
And that’s some of the problem. I don’t consider a random credit card transaction that I may make multiple times a day terribly important unless it’s over $1K or whatever.
As with black holes, in my lifetime exoplanets have gone from being conjectural-but-likely to scientifically rich observable phenomena. I love it.

OP is assuming the oversubscription is due to counterparties being on the hook for gold they are obligated to deliver at a certain time (this is commonplace with commodity derivatives, you simultaneously create contract to buy a certain amount of a commodity at a certain time in the future + a contract to sell a certain amount at the same time in the future - they cancel each other out), not that the entity holding the gold fradulently issued more claims than they could deliver on.

So OP is saying that if more gold was redeemed than expected, the counterparties to those claims would be forced to buy gold at whatever the price it ultimately settles on to fulfill the contract.

Of course the problem is that there is such a thing as counterparty risk. If delivering the contractually obligated gold bankrupts an individual counterparty, or is physically impossible in aggregate (eg more claims than gold exists) then the contract won't be fulfilled at least for someone.

But there is a lot of complexity here because not all futures are settled physically (they can be cash-settled) and there could be mechanisms in place to manage counterparty risk at various levels, like at the exchange, eg https://www.cmegroup.com/education/articles-and-reports/coun...

I wasn't able to read the article because of the paywall but stuff like this is why regular joes tend to think there are bigger problems with gold or finance in general than there actually is. "There is more paper gold than physical gold" - regular Joe thinks there is a problem. "Actually the paper claims' settlement are subject to various conditions, typically closed out before taking delivery, and there is a complex system in place which does its best ensure that anybody who actually wants to take delivery or settle their contract gets it settled as expected" - regular Joe lost interest and went back to doomscrolling.
I'm an American and I don't differentiate between jail and gaol; I just assumed the latter to just be a funny European spelling of the former.

But yes, we do differentiate between jail and prison - the former usually being for those with short sentences or for those awaiting trial, and the latter being for those with long sentences. Interesting that other countries don't maintain that distinction - but I guess most countries don't have such a sprawling prison-industrial complex to warrant separate short-term v. long-term detention classifications.
Not just enshittification in the way of spying and ads. The actual reading experience has got worse.

I have a Kindle 11 and an old Kindle 3. The Kindle 3 actually works better - easier to read, no random pauses, easier to search.
I've been using dark reader on mobile safari for years.
Well, now I upvoted you because now I feel sorry for you for some reason!
This is my first time using anything from Perplexity and I am liking this quite a bit.

There seems to be such variance in the utility people find with these models. I think it is the way Feynman wouldn't find much value in what the language model says on quantum electrodynamics but neither would my mom.

I suspect there is a sweet spot of ignorance and curiosity.

Deep Research seems to be reading a bunch of arXiv papers for me, combining the results and then giving me the references. Pretty incredible.
Safari mobile supports extensions.
Considering that at any moment the US can conjure into existence as many dollars as it needs how can it possibly default?
The article was created after Trump made a particular Twitter post [1], but describes similar sentiments written by other people in the past and a possibly apocryphal quote attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte.

I don't think there's been much traffic or edit warring, at least for now. There's a small dispute about whether the article fits Wikipedia's neutrality and notability guidelines, and whether the information would be better simplified and moved into the Donald Trump article.

As int_19h notes, there are people (in the US) who believe that there is a difference between the meaning of the word "jail" and the meaning of the word "prison". And as int_19h also notes, those people are wrong; Americans will just be confused if you try to use the words differently. It's similar to the insistence of a group with near-perfect overlap that crimes for which jail time isn't a possible punishment can't be correctly referred to as "crimes".
Have kids. Scary and a beat down at first but man they’re amazing and give life a whole new meaning.

Really start listening to your body more than you ever have. Little bumps and bruises take longer to heal and can turn into permanent aches/injuries if not treated right.

Maintain your network. Your network is maturing and becoming incredibly value.
On Android, I just went straight to using an emulator of the HP42S that got me through engineering school in the early 90s. The muscle memory for the basics was still there, even if I can't remember how to use the advanced functions any more.

I still have my actual HP, but it seems to chew batteries now.
This loaded most of the way down the page for me, with the little grid diagram thing at the top of the screen. Causing me to immediately scroll upwards (a non-intuitive direction) really exemplifying the point, haha.
I mean... at a certain point, with memecoins, it's just about the scale of said pull, not the presence.

There have been concerns of a pump and dump scheme and analysts have viewed it as a "disaster." A forensic analysis commissioned by the The New York Times concluded that 813,294 wallets lost $2 billion by trading the coin while the president's company and partners profited about $100 million from trading fees. According to Fortune, "Less than three weeks after its release, President Donald Trump’s memecoin has produced more losers than winners. For every dollar in trading fees the Trump crypto creators raked in, investors lost $20."

I hope we can all agree, crypto-fans or no, that moon coins are at best a very risky, unregulated gambling prospect!
He was never a master a master economist. This is a purposeful memetic disinformation campaign promoted by the owners of first-world mass media.

He holds a degree from a third-rate private university. Private university is where you go to school in Argentina for when you don't have the chops for public university and need to go to a degree mill.

His doctorate is from another bullshit institution made up by a rotting old landowning oligarch who holds prehistoric beliefs in just about everything.
Woah how’s that even possible? How does the fluid pick up so much kinetic energy? I’m not saying they’re wrong, I’m just fascinated.
I think it may actually depend on the region, Japanese VTubers seem to primarily stream on YouTube but international VTubers lean more towards Twitch. Maybe OP could jump ship in that case.
One, if you mean the directory containing the css files (helpfully called 'css') or two, if you mean one of the files.
I find it highly unlikely that someone politely asked for help having an issue resolved and it gave the receptionist PTSD and required armed security. I expect you're instead speaking about a situation where someone showed up and acted in a violent/threatening manner, which the post you are replying to did not endorse, which should not be used to justify keeping upstanding people from trying to get support.
A website about color scheme that does not respect my darkmode browser preference and burns my eyes on my large screen in the middle of the night with its white background. It also prevents my dark reader extension from doing its job (in all 4 modes!)

This little visual flashy aggression triggers a little angriness reaction.

I ended up escaping without reading what it was about.

If you love the internet, please respect dark mode.
There are a couple of problems with environment.d - it cannot be made idempotent, and can't splice into the middle.

These shouldn't be a problem since it runs early enough and should be controlled by a single sane party, but makes porting a pain.

I don't understand what problem your [2] link is referring to, since the whole point of systemd user sessions is that it happens before graphical stuff.

my kindle oasis has been largely collecting dusk since I've got my kobo. I do really miss the buttons tho, perhaps this can prolong my buying a third device.

the only thing giving me pause is that I apparently have to register the kindle, which if possible, I'm sure I've avoided. any insight on why this is necessary?
> This decision did not consider the staffing needs of the FAA, which is already challenged by understaffing.

This is an understatement. Staffing issues have been a problem for a while. Six day workweeks for some. Baffling to make cuts to an already understaffed agency.

This is all being executed without thought. The agencies can coast for a while and political pressure can be applied to keep people quiet about problems (Speak up, get fired). Four years from now it becomes someone else’s problem.
How would you get those numbers into the computer anyway? It seems like this would be a practical system to deal with numbers that can be represented exactly in that way, and numbers you can get at from there.
I really love the principles that Svelte tries to advance but I find some of their design decisions downright puzzling.

About 2 years ago I had to make a decision about what framework we were going to use for a new project and one of our developers was really into Svelte. I went through the tutorial and made a sample site. It felt like there were always sharp edges I was catching myself on.

I don't remember the specific but I feel like state management got confusing and you had to use work arounds to manually trigger updates in certain situations. Just seemed odd.

Creating something like this is quite trivial with most LLMs but it's fun to tweak the prompt to get what you want. I'd suggest a loading indicator while waiting for the chatbot to response and also do not use via.placeholder.com for image placeholder as it is no longer in service.
These might help.

San Francisco's homelessness budget in 2021 was $1.1 billion, for a homeless population of maybe 10,000. That works out to $110K per person before you add in state and Federal money.

Say this budget was doubled. What should that money be spent on, that isn't being funded now?

It's a sign of the times when someone misunderstands what "Live TV" means. lol

So I am literally streaming ATSC channels from my roof antenna with JellyFin. I didn't feel like paying a subscription fee (and anyways - no paid service has exactly the right XMLTV format JellyFin expects), so I wrote a scheduled task which scrapes the listings and ingests them with the REST API.
Adding on to what others said - I added a button that can download book files from my Google Drive, and it was as simple as copying over rclone and a one line bash script.
Meet the new xxd for w64devkit: rexxd
I'm in Oak Park, for what it's worth. I went to high school next to the ABLA homes. I don't think redeveloping the projects is why we have homeless people; those buildings weren't full of mentally ill people, they were full of families. We replaced the CHA homes with Section 8 vouchers, and that has, I think, improved things.
I will caveat that these are not air traffic controllers, but rather the technicians that maintain air traffic and airport equipment.

Still, that's not much consolation to me. The system is stretched too far and I don't want to be wondering if there are still enough technicians working to have checked the landing lights for my next flight.
The unofficial emails are an absolute disgrace and should be a huge concern to anyone with even a modicum of security sense.

Training the entire government that it’s totally normal to receive official orders from external domains is nightmare fuel for anyone who has had to think about organizational security.
Since when did changes in one electoral cycle automatically equate to changes in long term voting behaviour?

e.g. Swing states are a well known concept, so it’s unclear how you could confuse that.

It has to be credibly sustained and durable for a few cycles, at the very least.
Yeah, I came here to say this. If the AI is better at interpreting the animal's true emotion than humans, then how can humans possibly verify that the AI was closer to the actual emotion.
I would never have thought he meant "actually place a YouTube channel up for sale." This wasn't a choice of being "charitable" or not; it was reading the comment and being perplexed by its contradictions.
> And yes, ending the Russian-Ukrainian war is in fact de-escalation, even if giving Russia what they want is the outcome.

That’s what they said about the Sudentenland, too.
> These are not nameless, faceless bureaucrats. They are our family, friends and neighbors. They contribute to our communities.

Every. Single. One. of these firings is a story involving human beings, with families, with ongoing concerns like mortgages, medical problems, deaths in the family, school problems, and all the other things that happen during life. Things many of the DOGE staffers are too young to have experienced yet.

Whatever else you might think about what is going on, the Administration could have done this humanely, carefully, methodically -- but they chose to do it carelessly and cruelly instead. In my opinion, this alone is unforgiveable.
It is ethically hazardous to assume it is sentient because it misleads people about its intrinsic capability and its economic value.

Edit: also, the comment above is still true if A and B are made of the same substrate
> "What's been amazing to me is how skin-deep the stated values across the tech industry were."

The whole "Don't be evil" brouhaha several years ago didn't clue people in? It was marketing fluff from the beginning but it should have been obvious even to the most oblivious that it was marketing fluff by the time it was removed.

Just hack and slash, what could possibly go wrong?

But I get the feeling that chaos is the point.

Understaffing maintenance crews for critical aviation systems? What could go wrong?

I don't quite follow your point, can you help me out here?

> it sounds like you are less trustful of strangers, not more

Less trustful of strangers compared to what?

> i’m confused why you’re spinning it the opposite

What am I spinning the opposite? My point was that I don't trust the incentives behind the sharing economy and have no reason to expect better service than from the more service-focused businesses they're attempting to replace.

I very much expect that I just didn't explain myself well in the earlier comment. Sorry about that.
I lived near this particular park, so the article struck a chord with me.

For things to be better, we need to start doing things differently, and one starting point is to have compassion for the people who are denied the use of public spaces by the hardcore homeless who refuse outreach and aid.
American here. Never seen the word written before.
> I'm fine with data collection as long as it doesn't land in the hands of bad people or special interests.

The only way to guarantee this is to ensure that nobody can collect your data in the first place.

While the government of today might be benevolent, the government of tomorrow might not be.
Remember when Trump denied knowledge of project 2025?
We had this mathematical problem during the Venezuelan migrant crisis. A group of well-intentioned activists bussed about 100 migrants from the CPD station on Grand to Village Hall in Oak Park. By the time the dust had settled, we'd allocated enough money to each family --- through in-kind services, temporary housing, bridge services, etc --- that most of them could have bought a small house (outright!) in the south suburbs. Most of those families would have been way better off with the money than with the program design we came up instead.
I don’t work there so I can’t speak definitely, but much of it probably stems from the sheer diversity of software. For example, ladder logic typically does not have the same tools as structured programming but is heavily used in infrastructure. It is also sometimes restricted to specify a framework, leaving contractors to develop in whatever they want.
“ For all the talk of artificial intelligence, the most efficient computer on Earth remains the human brain. It can perform the same number of operations per second as the world’s supercomputers, but only requires power equivalent to a fridge lightbulb.”

This is kind of like saying my cat can perform the same number of operations as a supercomputer, because he is full of neurons which do information processing. Sure, I guess. But the number of floating point operations I can do per second is a whole lot less than 1.
Its not about giving benefit of the doubt.

Do you see no difference in assuming intent from a physical gesture and factually stating someone is dead or a sociopolitical system has been officially ended?
I love how each area has the color of the sky change to simulate the passage of time getting closer to sunset as you progress.

It's unclear to me why a "one-dimensional" simulation would give results that generalize to spacetime.
What is the insight you’re looking for? Or what is the category? Honestly curious what the threshold is and how you think it would exhibit.
HS2 is projected to be higher. I searched around and it’s very hard to compare, though. Boston’s Big Dig had an underground section of a mile or two but the larger project built something like 160 miles of highway.
