Unfortunately, I have not encountered yet a single browser that can handle well all Web sites, so for a long time I have been using both Firefox and Chromium.

More recently, I have started to use also Vivaldi, but alongside Firefox and Chromium and I cannot delete any of them, because there are things for which one is better than the other 2.

For Vivaldi, the main reason why I use it is its "Print" command. The "Print" command of Vivaldi produces decent PDF files in most cases, which include all or most of what is rendered by the browser on a display.

In contrast with Vivaldi, the "Print" commands of both Firefox and Chrome/Chromium are extremely buggy and they very seldom produce an output file comparable in quality with what they render on a computer display (i.e. they typically overlap various things that should not be overlapped, making some of them invisible; juggling with page sizes and orientations may alleviate the problem, but seldom eliminate it completely).

The second thing that I like at Vivaldi is the user interface with mouse gestures. Mouse gestures are unfortunately seldom used by most programs, despite the fact that such a user interface is much faster and much more comfortable than using buttons, icons, toolbars, right click menus etc.

I am using Vivaldi on Linux and I do not know whether what I see is something specific to my configuration or it is generally valid for Linux. I have tried 4 or 5 Vivaldi versions, but all have the same bug. They work perfectly the first time, but the second time they remain stuck at start, without being able to open their main window.

The workaround that I use for this bug is that before restarting Vivaldi I delete everything in ".config/vivaldi/Default/" and I copy back there some saved copies of the files "Bookmarks" and "Preferences". Then Vivaldi works OK, so the problem is that it saves some corrupt data in one of its configuration files, but I have not bothered to identify which is that file, because I do not want to preserve anything from a session besides the bookmarks and the preferences.

On my computers, Vivaldi also shares a bug (feature?) with Chrome/Chromium, being derived from the same code base. Around a couple of years ago, Chrome/Chromium has begun to have a delay of about a couple of minutes at start, before opening its window. Now Vivaldi has the same behavior. I believe that this is caused because since that time Chrome/Chromium attempts to contact at startup some servers on the Internet, but those are likely to be blocked for some reason by my firewall. The browser waits for a response until some timeout expires, and it starts the normal operation only after giving up.
Nowadays they drag them out to sea for scavengers, yes?

Another good option would be burning it in place. Make wood fires on top of the carcass which will burn down into the blubber and effectively make a giant candle.
Not only do heels modify someone's height, they also modify the range of motion for doing something like squatting down.

For kids this isn't a problem, they can squat all the way down without issue. But as an adult, regaining that lost mobility is a process!

But, try this: elevate your heels by an inch. Then try 2 inches. You'll find that you can more comfortably squat down the more your heels are elevated. It also impacts center of balance and the angles at which your back is at while squatting.
Hmmm i noticed it after two deep research tasks. No doubt bad UI but surprising folks here were confused for that long.

>and security (post the Mandiant acquisition)

As a Googler who works in GCP security, security has been a key differentiator for GCP long before the Mandiant acquisition. Google invented BeyondCorp (a primary driver of Zero Trust). Google helped create security keys (U2F, FIDO, Webauthn), and was I think the first major company to adopt them, both for employees, and for consumers. Google was one of the first major companies to offer a bug bounty, in 2010. Google's Project Zero searching for vulnerabilities in other companies'/organizations' software I think was pretty much unprecedented when it was created. Look at the number of times other tech companies get hacked compared to Google. Google got hacked in 2009 by China (I believe that was the first time a major company admitted to being hacked by government). That was a major turning point. Ever since then it's been "never again".

Disclosure: my thoughts are my own.

It's a civil suit now, but has most likely been referred to the DOJ and US Attorney's Office for criminal investigation.

Best case scenario for Rippling: within 6 months the Deel board boots out the CFO & CEO. Shortly thereafter, several people involved on the U.S. side (and potentially their Irish spy) will be indicted for criminal violations of the Economic Espionage Act (notably Rippling has sued Deel for violating the Defend Trade Secrets Act, which provides for civil remedies). In their lawsuit, Rippling has classified their Sales and Marketing Strategy as "trade secrets" which is something that Deel will dispute given that marketing is inherently public. How that plays out criminally is another story, but chances are once the FBI digs into the Deel internal messages, they will find incriminating evidence. 1 or 2 of the Deel executives will plead guilty to conspiracy charges and get 1 year and 1 day. Deel, the corporation entity, will enter into a deferred prosecution agreement.

It's buried in the lawsuit, but Deel is implicated in sending payments overseas to Russia ostensibly in violation of international sanctions. In the Biden administration, this would have definitely interested a US Attorney, but not so much in this administration. Whether it has changed Rippling's strategy vis-à-vis best way to hurt Deel is another story. Perhaps they saw the possibility of Deel not facing punishment or press coverage over the Russia sanctions issue precisely because of the administration change and decided to play their other card: a spy.

Best case scenario for Deel: they covered their tracks internally by using auto-deleting Signal and theres no actual evidence of executives dictating what their alleged spy should be doing. They settle the lawsuit for several million dollars and politely apologize to Parker. Maybe there is a countersuit somewhere? Rippling has pursued this aggressively and confidently which hints that maybe there is some level of projection (i.e. they also had a spy in Deel). As for the criminal charges, if it gets to the point of an indictment of a C-level person, they will have lost, so Deel will need to hope someone low level was involved to pin it on.

Which has a completely untenable license. I was interested in these cable holders, but I can’t reasonably print anything that would require me to agree to the multiboard license.
The goal was to dispose of the carcass by dispersion and allowing scavengers to eat the smaller pieces it would be blown into as well as directing most of it out to see so fish etc might help consume it. It's not an unheard of practice when a corpse needs to be gotten rid of faster than normal decomposition but it's impractical to move it.

There are two basic methods; a little bit of explosives to break it up when there's time for scavengers to get rid of it, that method calls for 20 pounds under a horse sized corpse, or obliteration when the public will be around sooner so it needs to be broken down very small, which calls for a whole 55 pound fireline for a horse sized corpse.

Single-step queries are far better handled by Kagi/Google search when you care about source quality, discovery and good UX, anything above that it's worth letting Deep Research do its thing in the background. I would go so far as say using Search with 4o you risk getting worse results than just asking the LLM directly - or at least that's been my experience.
I think you misunderstand how personal income is taxed in Thailand. Take a look at what the Revenue Department has to say about this: https://www.rd.go.th/english/6045.html

I quote: "A resident of Thailand is liable to pay tax on income from sources in Thailand as well as on the portion of income from foreign sources brought into Thailand" (resident = stay >180 days per calendar year).

If the "income from foreign sources", which should include income from a foreign company, is not "brought into Thailand", it should not count towards taxable income, if I understand this correctly.

Do you have a different interpretation which would make income from a foreign company with no clients in Thailand fully taxable and how would you explain that?
Sure, technically some creators get paid something. Some creators don't get paid anything. If those creators don't have the means to sue, that's their problem.

> the whole "digital media" economy is fundamentally broken and hostile to both creators and consumers.

This is why I think it's actually our moral imperative to not pay into this system wherever possible. (But personally, I choose to not consume rather than pirate. I'll pirate something to check it out. If it's nice, I'll buy it.)
You don't pay for premium because one day maybe it'll have ads?

Counterpoint: this was before the US government decided to create a pool of liquidity for cryptocurrencies, likely at taxpayer expense.

I'd say that's a use case. It's not a good use case for society as a whole, but it's a use case if the goal is to make money with cryptocurrency you hold based on a blockchain.

A great game, but one that had a very poor product market fit. It might be better than most games of its genre, but it also had a much higher budget, and with that, a much higher price. People buy metroidvanias for 20 or 30, on steam. They released elsewhere, for $50. They didn't have to just be very good, but make Hollow Knight and the like look like relics, and they didn't. The closest thing at selling at that price was Metroid Dread, and it did only fine, not great, despite carrying a higher value IP.

They were always doomed by the budgetary limits, kind of like how the latest Indy movie was doomed to lose money unless it was as big as Avatar.

You’re getting a lot of crap (rightly) for your lack of clarity and fuzzy language use on this point…

But that also points out the demand for the seemingly-unachievable promises you’re making. I wonder if it’s worth stirring up some out-of-production DIMM-connected Optane and using that as a basis for a truly fast-persisted append-only log. If that gives you the ability to achieve something that’s really in demand, you can go from there to a production basis, even if it’s just a stack of MRAM on a PCI-e card or something until the tech (re-) arises.
Arguably the distinction between a .guff file and a .guff file with a llama.cpp runner slapped in front of it is negligible. But it does raise an interesting point the article glosses over:

There is a lot happening between a model file sitting on a disk and serving it in an API with attached playground, billing, abuse handling, etc, handling the load of thousands or millions of users calling these incredibly demanding programs. A lot of clever software, good hardware, even down to acquiring buildings and dealing with the order backlog for backup diesel generators.

Improvements in that layer were a large part of what OpenAI to go from the relative obscurity of GPT3.5 to generating massive hype with a ChatGPT anyone could try at a whim. As a more recent example x.ai seems to be struggling with that layer a lot right now. Grok3 is pretty good, but has almost daily partial outages. The 1M context model is promised but never rolls out, instead on some days the served context size is even less than the usual 64k. And they haven't even started making it available on the API.

All of this will be easy when we reach the point where everyone can run powerful LLMs on their own device, but for now just having a 400B parameter model sitting on your hard drive doesn't get your business very far
> $32 billion in an all-cash deal,

Wow. I wonder how Google justified this acquisition. I fear they will eventually shutter this service, and likely without even pulling anything good into their own cloud offerings.
Seems reasonable to want a greater understanding.

I know so many tech people who have given up on privacy because they know the cat is already out of the bag so to speak.

It would be illuminating to know how many companies know X/Y/Z details of myself. I imagine it'd be quite scary. In Europe we are beholden to the liberal use of data by big tech, and that's supposedly the legal side of the data usage.
That isn't how unions work, rather the usual US fearmongering of having them.

It's not a law. If human civilization goes extinct, no more "scientific truths" will be discovered. Or an authoritarian society could gain total control (perhaps with robotics), and for whatever reason, they decide to ban some fact and mandate that everyone be taught the lie.

But scientific truths have a tendency to be adopted that falsehoods don't because truths are verified by other truths, whereas falsehoods contradict them. A lie can only be so large before it becomes self-contradictory, the truth is incomprehensibly large yet coherent.

If quantum mechanics has problems, as we do more experiments, we'll encounter these problems more and more, until eventually they can no longer be overshadowed. I predict quantum mechanics will never be entirely thrown out, but it will end up as a simplified approximation of a more complex "true" model; which is still taught in schools and used wherever extra accuracy isn't needed, like classical mechanics is today.

I think Max Planck's quote matters in practice too. In theory, you can discover a "scientific truth" and be recognized for it, but only long after your death, and only after someone re-discovered it (i.e. you didn't advance scientific knowledge at all).

However, most people aren't particularly unique, which means that if you discover something, chances are others have discovered it, or are at least close enough that you can easily convince them. You may not be able to convince the dominant "in-group", but if your idea is obvious enough (which it probably is if it's true and you managed to discover it), you can form an "out-group", which will grow as the idea gets verified (by truths) far more often than contradicted (by lies, because there are less of the latter, since a lie can only be so large without being self-contradictory).

Why do science in the first place? If your only goal is to predict something, you're doing it for yourself, so do "Science 1" and listen to others, but only to correct yourself. If your only goal is status, the truth doesn't matter to you, so do "Science 2" and make others happy. If your goal is to further scientific knowledge, I recommend you do both with preference for "Science 1": prioritize being correct, but explain your idea very well and make others happy when possible without sacrificing correctness (diplomacy).

It's important to note that when you can't change the majority's factual belief, you should really evaluate your own, because usually in such cases you're the one whose wrong. But otherwise: when you can't change others beliefs, the next best thing is to (as much as possible) not care what they believe, even if they are the majority.
Based on our understanding of human psychology, despite it being as incomplete as it is, it would seem reasonable to argue that this trend, if it does exist, would not be a binary rule but one whose strength depends upon numerous factors that coincide with how strong the evidence is, how many different experiments create evidence that aligns with the new theory, and how much better the new theory explains existing problems in the data.

If the existing theory predicts results that are 50% off, and the new theory is 45% off in the other direction, then things aren't likely to be accepted. If it is instead 0.1% off, that makes a much stronger argument. The issue with rejecting the first case outright is that often the experiments themselves have imperfections, but those are much slower to work out and refine. When the new theory doesn't need the existing experiments to be refined, I would guess long term experts are much more likely to entertain it.

Is "per play" the correct metric to use? What I'd like to compare are the hypotheticals "everyone is on Premium" and "everyone runs all the ads", but I'm not sure how to extrapolate this from some random split (I assume you don't see the ratio of your viewers) of Premium-to-ad..

I have three of your passwords and the domain each is associated with. The pattern is obvious, so now I have all your other passwords too.

Also, you don’t need to remember only the base password and the rule. You also need to have an exceptions process for when your “generated” password is incompatible with the esoteric requirements of a new site (length, character restrictions, etc.). And you need to remember this at login time, when you aren’t presented with the same information about those requirements as you were when you registered.
No one wants to be a dump pipe.
Well, like I said, I wanted a 32-byte magic so it'd look nice in hex-dumps. So I had plenty of room.

OTS proof files typically contain lots of 32-byte hash digests. So "wasting" 32 bytes on magic bytes isn't a big deal.
I understand your point. There's "trippy visuals" and then there's "that's what I saw when the DMT hit" - My comment was really leaning towards the latter.
You are doing a lot of the work a semantic layer would do for you. I wonder if you would have better luck having the LLM talk to a semantic layer instead of directly to the database.
Google's parent to buy cybersecurity group Wiz in biggest ever deal
I am an Apple critic that has long bemoaned their practice of trying to lock people into their walled garden.

In the past, I used gaming consoles to stream, which I thought worked well.

I finally, angrily caved and bought an Apple TV because I had an app (LFC TV) that would only stream via AirPlay. After using it for a bit, I have to say I love the thing.

I liked it so much that I bought a second for my other TV.

Reasons:

- Build quality. The remote is machined aluminum and feels like a weapon.

- HDMI CEC implementation. I used HCMI CEC on the consoles I owned, but there was always something that didn't work quite right. The Apple TV seems to nail it on both setups I have YMMV.

- AirPlay. This one makes me a little angry, but if you find a need to stream from an iPhone, the Apple TV is pretty much the only game in town.

I don't think that's true really. Yes most of the data recorded today will be lost but there is just so much being recorded that what remains is still much more than what we have of previous centuries. What we have of the 4th century is limited to a subset of what people specifically chose to write down. What will remain of this century includes that plus much more incidental information like the backdrop of a selfie that could turn out much more interesting to future historians than what you think is important now.
Presuming we get to free and fair elections, I think this is going to have to be an outcome... but whether it can be passed while the country is so polarized, I don't know.

Server code tends to be extremely portable. Just recompile for the new architecture and you are done. The porting work for servers has already been done by the community. The main exception would be game servers, which are binary blobs, but box86/box64 can run those.

A number of businesses have switched to using arm EC2 servers from x86 EC2 servers for lower costs and things work fine on them.
