> It's not about Cloudflare, it's about the millions of people in Spain who couldn't access a plethora of legitimate, unrelated websites and services because of the block.

I happen to agree that La Liga wildly overreaching is on brand. But I think this is partly about Cloudflare.

What's happening is a reminder of how centralised the internet is becoming. If blocking Cloudflare IPs brings down big chunks of the internet for Spain, that's a problem. Cloudflare could go down for a while, or collapse permanently, or get compromised.

Putting aside my opinions on La Liga overreach, it will also be a problem if companies get to say to courts "Oh, well, if you block those IPs the internet goes down for your country, so let us know what you want to block and maybe we'll get around to it."

Cloudflare might get a resolution from the court that suits them in the short-term. But drawing this to government attention might not suit them in the long run.
Thanks for sharing! No immediate use-case for me right now, but good to know something like this exists.

I wanted to point out little nitpicks for the documented shell invocations:

cat example.md | mdq '# usage'

This can be changed into a stdin file redirect to avoid invoking an extra `cat` process (see Useless use of cat [1]):

mdq '# usage' < example.md

In a similar fashion, you can avoid an extra `echo` process here:

echo "$ISSUE_TEXT" | mdq -q '- [x] I have searched for existing issues'

by changing to this:

mdq -q '- [x] I have searched for existing issues' <<< "$ISSUE_TEXT"

The United States is basically self-sufficient on oil. Therefore it doesn't have to take the EV transition seriously. In China, there isn't a local powerbase dependent on oil profits, or an oil-based car culture, or a local politically connected dealer network sitting in the way.

China is making EVs work because getting off oil dependency matters there. The US is removing Federal charging points because it is not serious about EVs. Everything follows from there.
Almost all medieval armour is open from below at the crotch. So, you can just let go, but you'll wet or foul your underwear. Sometimes there are flaps or removable pieces. Sometimes not. It highly depends on the type or armour and the exact time period.

I have a full maille kit for reenactment. I can easily pee while wearing it. I only have to remove my gloves and helmet (so I can see what I'm doing). Defecating is harder but not impossible, but I just go before gearing up. I don't have armour on all day during reenactment events.
Your examples actually demonstrate democracy working, not failing:

1. France used constitutional processes for the Lisbon Treaty - or should we never adapt treaties as circumstances change?

2. Chat Control (wich I don’t personally agree) is being debated, modified, opposed - that's democracy in action. Try publicly opposing surveillance laws in China.

3. Refusing to coalition with anti-democratic parties IS protecting democracy. Just like we don't let parties run on platforms of abolishing elections.

Democracy isn't just counting votes - it's sustaining a system where we can keep voting freely. That's why we have guardrails.

Or would you prefer we just have one final vote to end all voting?

It seems to me that MLA will become the standard from here on out.

If Deepseek R1 had used standard MHA, they would need 1749KB per token for KV cache storage. This means that once the conversation reaches ~46,000 tokens, the KV cache will have exceeded the entire storage capacity of a single H100.

Using MLA, each token now consumes 125KB. This means you can hit ~640,000 tokens (2x Ulysses) before overflowing.

The court order provides the means of doing it, it isn't itself a justification for wanting to do it.

Surrounding that particular river and pond system between Britain and Cove is a very polluted lake. "Lock Lake," they call it. Miranda in Castle Britain is attempting to sign a document to clean it up.

On the outskirts of the lake are dead green trout. There are two variations of them. One is food, and the other acts as a container. The two are upside-down from each other. You can eat the food ones without any problem. One of the storage-trout (What a fun sentence.) has the key to the shed.

Note that it's hard to find that one. It's mostly underneath a plant, so check for odd green pixels beneath plants. I believe it's closer to the western edge of the lake, just before it curves around near the northwest corner of the lake. It's located on 2 North 48 East, if you have a sextant. The upsidedown trout with the key is physically located next to a green piece of garbage that looks like a diagonal broadsword blade. It's beneath "Cattails."

By the way, there's a body on the muck in the lake if you can build a bridge to it. It has nice stuff. 5 North 54 East.

On the contrary, it would be an excellent outcome if the Internet became all-or-nothing, and countries could either choose to provide Internet access or block the entire Internet, with zero ability to selectively block things they don't like.

Doing that via a few centralized CDNs would be bad. Doing that at the protocol level would be excellent.

The simplified answer is that Spain has greater net neutrality laws than most other places, and on top of that the relevant European Union laws specifically forbid any lawful blocking/enforcement action if it causes a nontrivial amount of collateral damage to unrelated parties. So in theory the court order should've violated both Spanish and European law.

> The vast vast vast majority of companies do not sell a product below-cost.

Tha tis true, as they won't survive.

However an established company often has the ability to go on a price war, including selling under cost temporarily, to fight off an up starting competitor and preventing it from entering the market in any serious way. Once they give up, one can go back to higher prices.

Thus only one who can compete is somebody who can use profits from other area, thus some already well established player in a related market.

A cat written with UUOC might still be preferred for readability reasons, as reading a piped stream left-to-right might be easier to conceptualize.[14] Also, one wrong use of the redirection symbol > instead of < (often adjacent on keyboards) may permanently delete the content of a file, in other words clobbering, and one way to avoid this is to use cat with pipes.

I personally think the cat-style is easier to read since it only uses commands and pipes, with no need to keep track of redirection directions.
Germany has a big-nothing economy right now. Compared to that, even a small-software economy is useful.

I've been playing a game called Old World, which is basically Civ with decent UI and AI. The UI is intuitive and uses a nested tooltip system similar to Crusader Kings 3. The AI is pretty decent at war, it will flank you, use its strengths against your weaknesses, and will retreat to heal units that you don't finish off instead of fighting unwinnable battles.

It's set entirely in the ancient time period instead of having multiple ages, which I find this to be a strength since units and technologies remain relevant throughout the entire game. Also, ethical sales practices: the base game is very complete and DLC only adds small changes unlike most games in this genre (looking at you Paradox). The game's also on GOG, which itself is a green flag in several ways.

The developers are active daily on all support channels (Discord, Steam, forums etc). I've seen people attach saves asking for help, and a dev always respond a couple hours later in great detail.
It's not just a marketing problem, because the amount of information you'd have to have in order to make a truly rational decision is beyond any simple marketing campaign.

What word/phrase would you use instead to highlight the fact that for some people, sure, it's just some crap on the Internet, that it's just a bunch of hot air, a theoretical culture war, fought from the comfort of their couch, but that for other people, they've lost jobs, friends and family have been deported, they've lost their healthcare because the doctors were fired and the clinics unfunded. People are going to lose their farms. I mean, sure, they probably didn't die, but I'd call losing your job, having to sell the farm, not seeing the doctor, being forced into bankruptcy maybe a little bit of a shade of being "not fine". That's ignoring any problems in a war zone like Ukraine or the West Bank.

But so okay, let's be sensitive to others, and avoid using the word "privilege". What word/phrase better describes the situation where for some people, the harm is largely theoretical; something happening to other people, and that for a different set of people, there's real life ramifications to stuff the p-word people only hear about on the news.

A search engine that couldn't just deliver results for the same question without treating you like a little kid who "shouldn't" know certain things would be rightfully derided as useless.

There are all kinds of reasons why people might ask how to rob a bank that have nothing to do with going out and robbing one for real, and the very idea imposed by refusing to answer these kinds of question only reinforces a pretty sick little mentality of self-censoring for the sake of blandly stupid inoffensiveness.

When one builds game AI, one of the core design decisions is whether they want the system to be autonomous or authorable. You are right, its not a strict dichotomy. But both choices offer many advantages that an undecided/mixed approach doesn’t.

Look up different game AI architectures: scripted, rule-based, finite state machines, behavior/decision tree, utility, planning, hierarchical task networks, and machine learning. Hard-coded imperatives are very difficult on highly autonomous architectures, as is complex systemic behavior in authored ones. Consider how hard it is to make an autonomous AI system like ChatGPT implement one simple hard imperative: not revealing the system prompt.

Weak AI and strong AI are ambiguous terms. Most junior-level software engineers can create very complex gameplay systems if you're talking about complexity. It’s much harder to build simple ones that effectively create the illusion of intelligence on limited hardware. If you are talking about difficulty, then challenging AI is no harder to make than easy AI. Usually, game designers will naturally create hard AI as they play the game so much they become experts, and player testing is used to make it easy again.

As you describe it, the move evaluator is a utility function approach that is neither very authorable/personable nor very autonomous. It is pretty limiting on both fronts, so it’s rarely used. A simple rule-based approach is more straightforward to balance and personalize for each agent/archetype. And difficulty scaling or balancing the game differently doesn’t require what you propose. They just chose not to do the balancing you want.

There’s nothing wrong if you prefer a utility approach. We all have our preferences, and I like some pretty clever AI systems like GOAP that aren’t always a good fit for games like Civ. They are cool and smart systems but players rarely respond better to them than simple FSMs or rule-based game AI, which are easier to author. The utility approach is somewhere in the middle and could also be made context-specific with enough separate utility functions the agent would evaluate. But it is so much more work than to define simple if-then rules. :)
