I feel there’s a bit of a disconnect here between Google’s Ads division who are looking to basically do the bare minimum to avoid getting repeatedly spanked primarily by the EU but also now with talk of a breakup in the US and most other parts of Google who I say this entirely unironically are by far the best of all major options with regards to security in both the browser and their public cloud offerings. I’d even extend that possibly to operating systems as well. ChromeOS is miles in front of anything else out there currently but on mobile Android has historically lagged behind iOS although that gap is close to indistinguishable in 2024.

This is already happening in the Netherlands. Used to be that every book and newspaper was stored as a hard copy now they scan it.<p>I think people underestimate just how much it takes to archive everything that is released in the information age.

&gt; * Companies switched from being singular plurals (&quot;Google is deprecating another product.&quot;) to plural singulars (&quot;Google are deprecating another product.&quot;)<p>I think that&#x27;s just a grammatical error that people (sometimes) make, and it isn&#x27;t even specific to English.

Yeah it’s a cheap way to add voices. I think X4 does this with its (many hundreds of) side NPCs.<p>But Oblivion voiced a couple hundred characters with the same 9 voice actors and that’s a well loved game.<p>I’m not sure AI would add anything, but it’d make it cheaper since you don’t need to hire voice actors for side characters.

Check out Quickwit, it is briefly mentioned but I think mistakenly dismissed. They have been working on a similar concept for a few years and the results are excellent. It’s in no way mainly for logs as they claim, it is a general purpose cloud native search engine like the one they suggest, very well engineered.<p>It is based on Tantivy, a Lucene alternative in Rust. I have extensive hands on experience with both and I highly recommend Tantivy, it’s just superior in every way now, such a pleasure to use, an ideal example of what Rust was designed for.

I believe Home Depot runs classes on various DIY type things; I&#x27;ve never taken one but I&#x27;ve seen classes listed when I&#x27;m walking in the front door.<p>YouTube and a willingness to experiment will take you a really long way. ElectricianU was really good for learning about the electricals. I&#x27;ve been in this house for a decade now, and I pretty much do everything on it including a down to the studs remodel of a bathroom and kitchen, re-running and adding electrical circuits (replacing and pig-tailing aluminum)... I&#x27;m on the fence about whether I&#x27;d replace the furnace when it&#x27;s time, it will need a new intake&#x2F;exhaust run, but otherwise should be fairly straightforward I&#x27;d think. I did just pay for a new roof.<p>Just be patient with it, it will take longer than you&#x27;d like and longer than you&#x27;d expect, especially if you can only fit in time on weekends to work on projects. I never seem to have much gumption left after work.<p>YMMV related to pulling permits. Our local building dept is really easy to work with as a DIYer.

&gt; individuals rarely pause to consider what information they may be missing, they assume that the cross-section of relevant information to which they are privy is sufficient to adequately understand the situation.<p>Yes, this is a chronic dysfunction.<p>I like to say people do not reason, they look for reasons, or satisfying stories to fill the void of ignorance.<p>Voltaire rolls in his grave as his dream for an age of reason devolves into an orgy of reasons.

Why bury the pricing information under the documentation? The problem with these platforms is that it is unclear how much bandwidth&#x2F;money your use case will require to actually train and run a successful LLM.<p>The world needs products like this that are local first and open source. Enable me train an open source LLM on my M2 Macbook with a desktop app then I&#x27;ll consider giving you my money. App developers integrating LLM&#x27;s need to be able to experiment and see the potential before storing everything on the cloud.

&gt; .. women reaching out against their abusive male partners. Which IS an issue and IS statistically more likely.<p>Be careful about your phrasing there. I hope the implied subject on both sides of the &quot;and&quot; is different. Women being victims is an issue, and women reaching out is significantly more likely.<p>Women reaching out is (obviously) not an issue, but is statistically more likely. Alternately, women being victims is an issue, but the statistical likelihood of women being victims is unknown, and we have good reason to believe there is significant reporting bias.

With the lax finance laws we have I’m guessing China could install a regime that would actively help them take Taiwan for less than ten billion, to give one example. It would be cheaper to buy the whole US military than build one aircraft carrier.<p>It’s why this or anything like it should be very illegal and why Citizens United is a threat to US national security.

Agree. v0 and Bolt are currently only good for prototyping. It lacks the granular control of a proper coding editor like Cursor. But they work well together as the feedback loop and barrier to start iterating on a rough idea is extremely low in v0 and Bolt compared to VSCode + GH Copilot or Cursor.

PNacl also had the same sandboxing requirement, yet had many of the features still missing today from WAsm (threads, 3d graphics API support, access to other native APIs), and it didn&#x27;t suffer from slow startup times. It had pretty nice and quick uptake considering the tooling was very similar to native toolchains.<p>According to this benchmark (first Google result I found), it was even faster:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apryse.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;wasm&#x2F;wasm-vs-pnacl" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apryse.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;wasm&#x2F;wasm-vs-pnacl</a><p>While it might not have been perfect, WASM is yet to catch up in many ways, and some of its limitations might come from its design.

But then they are not based on the context of the website. This is just the same tracking with another name.<p>&gt;<i>or through a UI element on the website that lets the visitor choose the language.</i><p>This is nonsensical too. People don&#x27;t just speak only one language. If I&#x27;m going into an English website and you&#x27;re giving me a language pop up I&#x27;m going to pick English. But ads that are in English are not relevant to me whatsoever.<p>Also, I would like to note that language redirects are, in my experience, absolute trash. It makes using sites like Adobe awful.<p>Even the language settings in windows lead to a bad user experience. I have to keep English as my first keyboard language and locale to make sure that websites don&#x27;t default to other languages for me.<p>I have zero faith that they would get this right.

UK minister is trying to close All female prisons. They are already only 4% of prisoners, but that is it enough. So much about accountability.<p>&gt; men can be helped by the same system<p>That is just a misinformation! Calling police if abuser is a female, and you are a male, is a VERY bad idea.<p>Without police you only get some bruises. With police you get escorted in handcuffs in front entire neighbourhood, get fired from job, pay very expensive lawyers, get criminal record and possible prison time!<p>There is no way to fix that, just leave and drop all contact!

It&#x27;s been a huge challenge for me, because I find so much joy in building stuff. I didn&#x27;t discuss it in the article, but one thing that&#x27;s helped me is to just give myself a &quot;free roaming&quot; day here and there to just open up Xcode and work on some idea that I know won&#x27;t ship. Just gives me that dopamine hit though, and sometimes a lot of that code finds itself in Elite Hoops.

Me too but I fail to see how Google, Apple, etc are any better here. If they decide you are a fake account they can just randomly lock your account with no recourse.<p>If a site has no login options other than designated OIDC providers then I’d say they de facto don’t allow anonymity.

I&#x27;ve done both:<p>- ASA was awesome in the beginning for me, but a competitor came out and way outbid me. So I don&#x27;t use them currently. - Meta <i>will take time</i> to figure out, but once it did - it has been critical for me. For example, at the start I had my targeting age around 20-60 year old, something like that. But I found out that 20-25 year olds aren&#x27;t really serious basketball coaches yet, and the algo serves ads to them like crazy because they are super cheap. Basically, low intent users. Changing my age range to 25+ was like a magic switch that made me ads better overnight. Stuff like that is why you need a few months to figure it out, and you can do that without spending a toooon of money, but you do need to spend some money. Hope that helps.

You could do something like `value = table.get(some_function(), MISSING_VALUE)` and then have the conditional. But let&#x27;s say for the sake of argument, yeah you need to assign the value up-front.<p>Let&#x27;s say you&#x27;re looking at some code like this:<p><pre><code> if value in table: ... </code></pre> If you need to change this so that it&#x27;s `some_function(value)`, you&#x27;re not going to miss the fact that you have a decision to make here: you can either assign a new variable, or you can call the function twice, or you can use the &#x27;.get()&#x27; approach.<p>If you instead have:<p><pre><code> try: return table[value] except KeyError: ... </code></pre> You now have to consciously avoid writing the incorrect code `try: return table[some_function(value)]`. It&#x27;s very easy to change the code in the &#x27;try&#x27; block so that you introduce an unintended way to end up in the &#x27;except&#x27; block.

I have to say that IPTV apps across all platforms have a horrendous UX and are especially slow and clunky. I always felt that there&#x27;s so much to improve in the space and I&#x27;m happy to see this project, looks promising judging from the description (although I haven&#x27;t been using IPTV for a while now and can&#x27;t try this).

Kosher-like biscuits and gravy (the oatmeal-like, savory white gravy) was a delightful treat during my late teen years.<p>I haven’t seen credible versions of this in the NYC area. Whereas hashbrowns and waffles are everywhere.

As someone who spent most of a career in process automation, I&#x27;ve decided doing it well is mostly about state limitation.<p>Exceptions or edge cases add additional states.<p>To fight the explosion of state count (and the intermediate states <i>those</i> generate), you have a couple powerful tools:<p><pre><code> 1. Identifying and routing out divergent items (aka ensuring items get more similar as they progress through automation) 2. Reunifying divergent paths, instead of building branches </code></pre> Well-designed automation should look like a funnel, rather than a subway map.<p>If you want to go back and automate a class of work that&#x27;s being routed out, write a <i>new</i> automation flow explicitly targeting it. Don&#x27;t try and kludge into into some giant spaghetti monolith that can handle everything.<p>PS: This also has the side effect of simplifying and concluding discussions about &quot;What should we do in this circumstance?&quot; with other stakeholders. Which for more complex multi-type cases can be never-ending.<p>PPS: And for god&#x27;s sake, never target automation of 100% of incoming workload. Ever. Iteratively approach it, but accept reaching it may be impossible.

In this post, you are told about an Islamic talisman, with the blessing of which you can get rid of all the problems of marriage in 7 days. This Talisman is called King Solomon Talisman and it is written from such verses of the Quran in which the name of Hazrat Sulaiman is present. This Talisman is Quranic, so this Talisman is also called the Divine Amulet. Therefore, with the blessing of the divine amulet, every problem of women’s marriage is 100% removed in 7 days. Before knowing more details of this talisman, you must know the reason for the disruption and trouble in marriage. Most girls have to face obstacles in marriage, and the most important reason for obstacles in marriage is the evil eye. Beautiful and intelligent girls can suddenly become victims of the evil eye and the evil eye becomes a cause of hindrance in every important work of life, whereas marriage is the most important work of a girl’s life.

I think that latency people grow up with has a huge impact on how careful they are when using the internet.<p>Having gotten my hands on an experimental 128kbps link early on, but later and moving to the countryside with a 56kb-1Mbps really spotty connection made me really appreciate local state as every time things blocked on the internet made it pretty notorious.<p>I&#x27;m glad there&#x27;s a push for synchronized, local-first state now, as roaming around on mobile or with a laptop hopping on wifi can only perform nicely with local state.

WasmGC is a feature you can opt in to, rather than a core feature of the platform. It&#x27;s more of an enabler for languages that expect a GC from their host platform (for things like Dart and Kotlin). Inversely, other forms of bytecode might have linear memory, but the JVM isn&#x27;t one of those.<p>For the purposes of OP&#x27;s question, the memory model difference is one of the key reasons why you might want to use wasm instead of a java applet.

While I am in the same camp as you, there is one exception: Music. Especially music with lyrics (like suno.com) - Although I know that it&#x27;s not created by humans, the music created by Suno is still very listenable and it evokes feelings just like any other piece of music does. Especially if I am on a playlist and doing something else and the songs just progress into the unknown. Even when I am in a more conscious state - i.e. creating my own songs in Suno, the end result is so good that I can listen to it over and over again. Especially those ones that I create for special events (like mocking a friend&#x27;s passing phase of communism and reverting back to capitalism).

As a customer and user of WPEngine, what role do you see wordpress in that relationship? Generally when I buy things I try to take some consideration of the sub-contractors and suppliers to the supplier of service, but I am aware that I do not have a direct relationship with them.<p>I doubt the courts will demand that WordPress foundation must provide servers and bandwidth indefinite and free of charge to anyone, especially when there is no contract between WPEngine and WordPress foundation. When Youtube removed API functionality and under a night destroyed companies that relied on those free API&#x27;s, courts did not demand that Youtube went back. It is inherently risky for companies to depend on someone else servers and network service being provided for free without any contract.<p>The more easy path forward would be for WPEngine to switch dependency. Debian has an reliable repository. Core wordpress is already packaged there, it get updates, and a handful of the most popular themes are also packaged. If that is not enough then WPEngine could spend employee hours to package more themes. No need for proxies or workarounds. I would estimate that 90% of the customers on WPEngine could continue to exist using just that.

&gt; the degree to which you have to ask yourself if you want to use String or if you want to use &amp;str<p>In practice, there isn’t a ton of thinking to do about this: if it’s a struct, you want String. If it’s a function parameter, you want &amp;str, and if it’s a function’s return type, you want String. Doing that until you have a reason not to is the right call 95% of the time, and 4% of that last 5% is “if the return type is derived from an argument and isn’t changed by the body, return &amp;str.<p>It does take some time when you’re learning, but once you get over the hump, you just don’t actively think about this stuff very much. Google’s research says Rust is roughly as productive as any other language there, so far. That doesn’t mean it’s universally true, but it’s also some evidence it’s not universally false.

Only <i>safe</i> Rust can guarantee this, and only as a consequence of any <i>unsafe</i> Rust being correct.<p>Most of the popular Garbage Collected languages of course <i>also</i> have a way to escape, in some cases via an &quot;unsafe&quot; keyword or magic unsafe package to a language where the same safety rules do not exist, in this sense the difference in Rust is that it&#x27;s the same language.<p>I&#x27;d actually say the <i>more</i> memory safe option would be a language like WUFFS where it pays a high price (generality) to deliver categorically better safety and performance. Most software could not be written in WUFFS but also most of the software which could be written in WUFFS isn&#x27;t.

If you can&#x27;t train at altitude, I&#x27;d focus on distance&#x2F;time in. Go on long runs, long hikes, long bike rides. Endurance. Elevation gain is good too. Try to at least mirror the conditions per mile in your training. Hill intervals are useful - walk up a big steep hill at a steady pace, and then walk back down; rinse&#x2F;repeat. A solid cardiovascular base should prepare you just fine.

I think these debates wind up missing the middle zone, partially because there&#x27;s not a one size fits all in terms of teams and scope relative to a company. Specifically the issue I&#x27;ve found is that while I agree Product needs to be steering the ship, that Product Representatives find their way too far down the hierarchy.<p>Or another way of looking at it: On a typical team one often finds a PO, Scrum Master, and a Tech Lead. The PO reports upwards to a broader PM. The TL reports upwards to a broader EM. I&#x27;d contend those are 3 people filling the duties of what should be 1 or 2 people&#x27;s worth of duties.<p>Imagine there&#x27;s a PM at a company responsible for some portion of a&#x2F;the product. And suppose there are 3 dev teams working towards it. In my mind there should be a PM for that product, detailing the what and (idealized) when. They&#x27;re the ones talking to customers, coordinating with other PMs in the company, etc.<p>But their involvement with engineering should end at the sprint level. Instead what I&#x27;ve found is there&#x27;s often a lower level &quot;PO&quot; who attends daily standups, will debate micro-level prioritization (do this before that), etc. And to me this really should be at the team&#x2F;team lead level to decide. What&#x27;s more, I&#x27;ve pretty much *never* seen this &quot;PO&quot; persona do any outward facing customer work - they&#x27;re almost always just representatives of the broader PM organization.<p>As an engineer and engineering lead who has complained about product, *this* is what I&#x27;m complaining about. You&#x27;re 100% correct that I don&#x27;t want to be deep diving into the product side of the fence. But I&#x27;m usually in tune well enough that I don&#x27;t need 2-3 layers of Product Bureaucracy between my team and the people who are doing said deep dive.

&gt; My point was that making meaningful contributions such a big fixes requires understanding how the code is _supposed_ to function vs. how it actually functions, that&#x27;s the hard part. In the majority of cases that&#x27;s simply not something the code can tell you [...]<p>That&#x27;s kind of my point, though. I&#x27;m trying to zoom out and &quot;think outside the box&quot; for a minute. It&#x27;s hard to compose smaller pieces into larger systems if the smaller pieces have behavior that&#x27;s not very well defined. And our programming languages and tools don&#x27;t always make it easy for the <i>author</i> of a piece of code to always understand that they introduced some unintended behavior.<p>To your first point: I&#x27;m not shitting on Chromium or Firefox or any other software projects, but they&#x27;re honestly ALL &quot;buggy messes&quot; in a sense. I&#x27;m a middling software dev and the software I write for my day job is definitely more buggy, overall, than these projects. So, I&#x27;m not saying that other developers are stupid (quite the opposite!). But, the fact that there <i>are</i> plenty of bugs at any given point in any of these projects is saying something important, IMO. If I use our current programming tools to write a Base64 encode&#x2F;decode library, I can do a pretty good job and there&#x27;s a good chance that it&#x27;ll have zero bugs in a fairly short amount of time. But, using the same tools, there&#x27;s absolutely no hope that I (we, you, whoever) could write a web browser that doesn&#x27;t have any bugs. That&#x27;s actually a problem! We&#x27;ve come to accept it because that&#x27;s all we&#x27;ve got today, but my point is that this isn&#x27;t actually an ideal place to settle.<p>I don&#x27;t know what the answer is, but I think a lot of people don&#x27;t even seem to realize there&#x27;s a problem. My claim is that there <i>is</i> a problem and that our current paradigms and tools simply don&#x27;t scale well. I&#x27;m not creative enough to be the one who has the eureka moment that will bring us to the next stage of our evolution, but I suspect that it&#x27;s what we&#x27;ll need to actually be able to achieve complex software that actually works as we intend it to.

&quot;In the United States, cocaine is regulated as a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substances Act, meaning that it has a high potential for abuse but has an accepted medical use. While rarely used medically today, its accepted uses are as a topical local anesthetic for the upper respiratory tract as well as to reduce bleeding in the mouth, throat and nasal cavities.&quot;, from Wikipedias cocaine page. I remember septoplasty surgery using topical cocaine for example.

If I buy a washing machine, it has a fixed known volume, weight capacity, power consumption, noise level. These are objective facts, no? Do you think we can have different opinions on how many kilos of clothes it can take, and be both right?<p>They would come from the manufacturer manual or a spec sheet or something like that.<p>Windows has some objective, known, minimum hardware requirements. Are they open to interpretation?<p>What kind of products are you buying that make you wonder how to get objective facts about them?

If you buy quality ink pens by pentel or faber Castell they will last years, depending on usage.

Compassion towards enemies is especially interesting, it takes a lot of mental effort to go against the gut feeling.

That&#x27;s an over simplification I think. If you&#x27;re only generating a video because &#x27;I can oooh AI&#x27; - then of course no one wants it. If you treat the tools as what they are, Tools - then people may want it.<p>No one really cares about a tech demo, but if generative tools help you make a cool music video to an awesome song? People will want it.<p>Well, as long as they aren&#x27;t put off by a regressive stigma against new tool at least.

Most implementations of this sort of thing in practice don&#x27;t verify as hard you might think.<p>A lot of it seems to do with wanting to be able to replace certs and have reasonable expiration times, but not really understanding how to do that (I don&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s not possible, i mean the manufacturers seem to not really understand how to do it effectively)<p>As an example, the siemens CNC controller on my metal mill is totally signed. It has an FPGA with a secure element producing verification signatures to double check cert sigs haven&#x27;t been modified, Every single file system with binaries is a read-only signed cramfs file signed with a secp521 ecc key. All read-write fsen are mounted noexec, nosuid, etc etc etc.<p>The initial CA key is baked into secure hardware.<p>However, in the end, they only verify the CA and signing certs have the right names and properties (various oem specific fields, etc), because the certs have 3-5 year expiration dates and these things are not connected to the internet or even updated often. So they accept expired certs for the signatures, and they also accept any root cert + signing cert that looks the same as the current ones.<p>So you can replace the CA key and signing keys with something that looks exactly the same as their current one and resign <i>everything</i>, and it works fine.<p>A whole lot of effort that can be defeated pretty quickly.<p>I would be surprised if the cars were not similar - they look really secure, but in the end they made tradeoffs that defeat the system.

For starters, in that it gives you memory safe bytecodes computation that aren&#x27;t coupled with one specific language.

One genuine problem was the you could send snippets of code to any Tcl&#x2F;Tk program running on the same X server and it would execute them. Obviously X isn&#x27;t the most secure of systems and you should trust your X clients, but this made it very easy if you could persuade someone to run a &quot;command line&quot; program. I wonder if that was fixed?
