My personal Spotify alternative is KEXP, KCRW human DJs -> Bandcamp purchases.

If anyone else could share any other radio stations who still have living human disc jockeys, I would love to check them out. DJs are an amazing resource which should be cherished.

I mean come on, this is all amazing. Forget the music recommendation machine algos:

The next logical step is for one of us to make a Spotify clone which leverages these human DJs, and gives credit with links to station and artist Bandcamp.

Well that heat does a lot of damage too, on top of other damaging radiation, blast wave, irradiating everything etc. which is proportional to bomb yield.

Sure the biggest ones are comparatively ineffective, thats why the focus on manufacturing was on small/medium yield one, one can produce many more and saturate defenses more easily rather than one/few MOABs.

> If you read further in the SEC statement, they explain why typical meme coins fail the Howey Test.

That's basically a circular definition of what a memecoin is, and doesn't encompass a lot of the tokens that have been created so far, especially if you weight them by their market cap. In other words, it doesn't cover the most relevant tokens (which you would still call memecoin without this new (re)definition).
Thanks for keeping Waterfox alive despite Mozilla's hurdles. The feature list is great, exactly what people need when looking for a Firefox alternative. Putting it on the homepage would help a lot. Appreciate your work!

It's one thing to make a rocket to take a human being to space.

It's another thing entirely to make a "rocket" that will take a human being to space, or to school, or to work, or to the mall, or to the bank, or to church on sundays. And also it functions as a TV, a telephone, a radio, an encyclopedia, a games console, or anything else one can imagine. And then you wrap that up in a user interface that my grandmother can use without a NASA astronaut's level of training (YMMV).

The heat and wave equations have an important difference:

heat: ∂u/∂t = k ∂²u/∂x²

wave: ∂²u/∂t² = c² ∂²u/∂x²

Note the extra time derivative on the wave equation. The heat equation is dissipative, moving towards the average value, spreading energy out over time. The wave equation, on the other hand, allows for solutions that oscillate and maintain their shape while they travel.

This means that waves such as electromagnetic (light) or gravitational can in theory be focused and beamed significant distances without much loss. A plane wave solution is lossless, but requires an infinite emitter.

Finally, note that this does not apply to static fields, such as magnetic, electric, or gravitational fields, which if not oscillating will still spread out and dissipate over distance.

Is an Amendment to the Constitution necessary to limit a right according to disability or to create an independent agency which is independent from the Executive (Justice), Legislative, and Judicial branches?

Define "Independent Agency"?

GSA General Services Administration:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Services_Administratio... :

> The General Services Administration (GSA) is an independent agency of the United States government established in 1949 to help manage and support the basic functioning of federal agencies.

Independent agencies of the United States federal government: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_agencies_of_the_Un... :

> In the United States federal government, independent agencies are agencies that exist outside the federal executive departments (those headed by a Cabinet secretary) and the Executive Office of the President. [1] In a narrower sense, the term refers only to those independent agencies that, while considered part of the executive branch, have regulatory or rulemaking authority and are insulated from presidential control, usually because the president's power to dismiss the agency head or a member is limited.

> Established through separate statutes passed by Congress, each respective statutory grant of authority defines the goals the agency must work towards, as well as what substantive areas, if any, over which it may have the power of rulemaking. These agency rules (or regulations), when in force, have the power of federal law. [2]

However, like Acts of Congress and Executive Orders, such rules are not Constitutional Amendments.

> Examples of independent agencies: These agencies are not represented in the cabinet and are not part of the Executive Office of the president:

> [ Amtrak, CIA, FCC, FDIC, FEC, Federal Reserve, FERC, FTC, CFTC, SSA, TVA, NASA, NARA, OPM, ]
This isn't the end of uBlock Origin. Just the end of it on Chromium-based browsers.

If you are a power-user you may well benefit from using Firefox where uBlock Origin has always claimed to work best.

By switching you will also be removing power from an ad-funded near-monopoly that feels (correctly) that they can do whatever they want even if it is universally despised by users because the other choices are quickly going away. Every using using another browser weakens that grip, every user using a Chromium derivative allows them to keep trying to wedge new features that no other browser wants to implement for user privacy reasons and creates website incompatibility.

We spend a large portion of the federal budget on human death prevention. It sounds like hyperbole, but anyone dying from administrative changes is literally “world ending” for them.

If a plan to cut bureaucracy was somehow analyzed to find that we could save 5% of the US budget in exchange for 10,000 lives, reasonable people might consider otherwise. To take these changes against life-saving organizations without first analysis of consequences is pretty reckless.

I feel like the naysayers have a point too. 95% done? Only 95% left to go!
Why, though? I suppose the point of my original comment was to ask that in broader strokes. I'm happy with Firefox and do not see a compelling reason to switch to Zen without an apples-to-apples comparison, which seems like a ridiculously taboo ask in this space.

I’m skeptical about convenient plain text is, compared to more structured formats, once we try to encode even more of the conveniences we get out of current calendaring (e.g. time zone shifting, notes of indefinite length, events that last the whole day, repeated events…)

There are a few more structured formats for calendaring that share the virtues of their workflows: if we used JSON, would jq be a UNIXy tool? What about sqllite and commandline queries? Both would be much more easier for my overloaded mind - especially when parsing records - without adding more inherent complexity beyond a sufficiently overloaded raw text calendar.

When I was a contractor, I worked on a project with this well-intended guy who wanted to make an app for people to store a persistent map of their movement over time using the GPS. On day one, he made it very clear—and I believed him—that a user's private data was sacrosanct. As the project wore on, never finding traction, and costing more and more money, I remember one of the last meetings I attended with him. He was trying to find new sources of revenue to keep the company alive, and he uttered the inevitable phrase: "well, we've got all this user data we could sell." That was one of those moments when you get a little more cynical, and since then I access as an axiom that every company will sell my data eventually, regardless of their promises. It's just a question of limiting their access to it, and being willing to switch to an alternative every once in a while.
But how to build a Markov chain that does what an LLM does?

I've actually thought of this from time to time and come up with things like 'skip' states that just don't change the context on meaningless words, I've thought of maintaining distant states in some type of context on the markov chain, multiple contexts in multiple directions mixed with a neural network at the end (as per the 2D image example), etc. But then the big issue is in building the Markov state network.

The attention mechanism and subsequent multi-layer neural network it uses is honestly extremely inelegant. Basically a entire datacenter sledgehammer of contexts and back-propagated neural networks to make something that works while Markov chains would easily run on an Apple 2 if you got it right (it's very fast to linearly navigate a chain of states). But the hard part is making Markov chains that can represent language well. The best we've done is very simple linear next letter predictors.

I do honestly think there may be some value in stealing word weights from an attention mechanism and making Markov chains out of each of them. So each word starts navigating a markov chain of nearby words to end up at new states. You'd still mix all the contexts at the end with a neural network but it skips the computationally expensive attention mechanism. Still a hard problem to build these Markov chains sensibly though. Deepseek has shown us there's huge opportunities in optimizing the attention mechanism and Markov chains are super computationally simple but the 'how do you build good Markov chains' is a very hard problem.

Another Ars [dupe]
You only need one better browser to switch to. I guess you're getting
at a Hobson's choice [0], that there really is only one browser and
all others are copies of the same harmful set of properties, so moving
isn't worth the overhead (switch cost is a factor in this that we
often ignore). To my mind, there must be at least one browser out
there that is "less undesirable" than that case. Just iterate your way
into your comfort zone.

So often arguments on this axis come down to how much convenience are
you going to give up for the trust relation you desire. We get stuck
if we mistake convenience for necessity thereby bringing absolutes
into a continuous trade-off problem.

Gamedev here. The process I have to go through to make a good core is never a linear thing.

I'm making a custom netcode right now. I started from a blank folder. I had some design decisions worked out before I started, like I wanted udp transport for messages that didn't require responses (ie inputs), an isomorphic client/server simulation and state snapshot diffs and checksum validation. I had an idea what I wanted the syntax of creating a new request to be, but the rest I knew I'd just figure out as I went.

The way everything fits together has taken a lot of refactoring, and I've disregared 3 prototype sim components. I've written a good 40% of the base types twice over to make it all click better. It's kind of sad how few libraries I've found for a fixed point physics simulation. I've been using one I stubbed together and it may end up growing into something permanent if I don't find something better that checks my boxes. That's just the way it goes.

The only way I get top tier code is if I budget time to do controlled burns as I get a crufty feelings. There's never enough time to do it like that the whole way through a project, but I find that if you're aggressive about doing that the first 30% of the way into a thing, you have a good enough core to hang your less elegant ornaments off of and it wont collapse into a tangle.

Another valuable process when writing things from scratch is finding compact archetypal islands that force your systems into a good versatile shape. Something simple like a boids simulation requires you have so much stuff worked out that if you write it first and stir it around and firm up the foundation, you'll build most of the tools you need for many different kinds of games.

grooveshark aggregated from blogs and other web sources. If I recall correctly you could follow links back to those places. Back then the web was full of decentralized independent writers doing music reviews or producing mixes or capturing new bootlegs from live shows. Grooveshark indexed those and made them playable in one location, but I don’t think it ever hosted any of the files.
The difference is that Grooveshark was always a pirate product, and didn't try to hide it. The UI had rough edges, but the library was massive, just like the old Napster era. Spotify was a growth hacker startup bro project, influenced by iTunes.

The web hook is in the templated script

From the article:

> The "trust" value, when base64-decoded, turns out to be a discord webhook link: myhook = 'https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1050437982584324138/VJByvmB...'

Collect all the scripts matching the template. Extract the “trust” variable. Decode base64. Send to Discord with proof of how it was obtained.

Discord then identifies the Discords matching those webhooks.

It’s not some hard static analysis problem. These are python scripts with a base64 encoded variable. I don’t understand why you’re making it out to be something other than what the article says.
