most dedicated electric cars come with a shit ton of sensors which give all that juicy data to third parties.

This is true of all cars, not just electric cars. Plus, this is not an argument against EVs. It’s an argument for privacy.

The former is unnecessary. They just need to ensure that electric vehicles are more affordable and people will switch over gradually.

The latter, public transportation varies from country to country. Some, like Japan, China, and many European countries, have excellent public transportation options. Some, like the USA, have dogshit or nonexistent public transportation. A framework for getting funding for public transportation projects, maybe from taxes on carbon emissions for example, would be awesome though.

These arguments are great.

Making a page more accessible doesn’t just mean making it easier for people with disabilities to use the page. It means improving the user experience for everyone, including those with disabilities, but also those who do not have them. An accessible UI is a UI that everyone can easily use. It also means making the page more accessible to some kinds of tools, whether those are search engine crawlers, archiving tools, or even ChatGPT.

Cloudflare’s dominance is a huge problem exactly for this reason. Having a single point of failure is a huge risk, and it’s surprising that governments don’t view this as being a matter of national security.

As a side note, and not to “well ackshully”, but Cloudflare isn’t a backbone provider. But your point still stands lol.

So he’s capable enough to add new islands and content, but not change a trigger on how to save. One button. Same logic…

Correct. The entire game state was not designed to be serialized. You can see this with how buggy multiplayer is. He could do saving mid-day, but I don’t think most players would want that over an entire new island worth of content, especially when the amount of work is comparable.

A buggy mod by someone who didn’t write it doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

I didn’t say it’s not possible. Anything’s possible when it’s your code. I said it would be hard to add now.

You can like a game and someone and still be able to be critical of a game design decision they make. Not everyone is good or bad. A hero or villain. No one is perfect.

This part, I don’t get. I maintained a mod with thousands of endorsements and over a hundred thousand unique downloads. I talked with modders even bigger than me regularly. Even the lead dev of SMAPI, who has some more insight into the codebase than anyone else in the modding community.

None of us succeeded in it.

At no point did I defend the game on its merits of being “good or bad”. I haven’t played it in years. All I did was explain that this is technically very difficult to do.

On the topic of dark patterns, many games have specific points where you can save. This is not unique to SDV. For example, some games only allow you to save at specific points to avoid save scumming and increase the difficulty.

What matters isn’t when you can save. It’s whether your inability to save at times is being exploited for their benefit.

It’s not a dark pattern. It’s a technical limitation.

Concerned Ape wrote that game with very limited programming experience. Having significantly modded the game in the past, the code is a mess, but indicative of someone who is learning to program still.

While I haven’t played SDV in a long time, there was a mod when I played that allowed you to save at any time. It was buggy as hell.

It’s an indie game made by one dude. He got some help from CF for multiplayer and porting, but that was about it.

At this rate, all indie games have dark patterns lol.

Inb4 SCOTUS says Comey is guilty and sentenced to El Salvador without any explanation why or what he’s guilty of.

monitoring how they are used is good to identify if people are actually more productive with it

Unfortunately, many jobs skipped this step. The marketing on AI tools should be illegal.

Far too many CEOs are promised that their employees will do more with less, so of course they give their employees more to do and make them use AI, then fire employees because the remaining ones are supposed to be more productive.

Some are. Many aren’t.

Like your comparison, the issue is that it’s not the right tool for every job, nor is it the right tool for everyone. (Whether it’s the right tool for anyone is another question of course, but some people feel more productive with it at times, so I’ll just leave it at that.)

Anyway, I’m fortunate enough to be in a position where AI is only strongly encouraged, but not forced. My friend was not though. Then he used it because he had to, despite it being useless to him. Then he, a chunk of his management chain, and half his department were fired. Nobody was hired to replace them.

There are plenty of companies that track metrics on AI usage. Big names like Amazon come up of course, but even some small companies require employees to use it.

So to answer your question: a lot of people, regardless of if they want to.

And no, they can’t all quit and get a new job.

Their response seems to be arguing against a claim that AdGuard didn’t even make. AdGuard acknowledged the existence of CSAM and reported it to archive.today. What they brought into question was whether WAAD was a legitimate organization as opposed to something shady.

In their article, AdGuard published the registration address and the email of WAAD, as well as the names of the directors, and distributed confidential emails while openly defaming our actions, our structure, and the bailiff.

Publishing the public details of an organization, like its director and the email address, are not doxxing. Emails cannot be made confidential without an agreement on both sides, and French law, even if it does protect communications between French people, cannot extend beyond France.

Defamation also is a very strong claim to make here. I can’t speak for European law, nor am I a lawyer of course, but in the US, defamation usually needs to not only be harmful, but knowingly false. AdGuard doesn’t know who you are, nor have they made any false statements. The law they quoted also says “with an intent to harm” which is clearly not the case here, though they have shown reason to assume you have intent to harm archive.today.

AdGuard publicly declared that all reported URLs had been removed. Our technical checks show that part of this content is still accessible on Archive.today and its mirrors.

The fuck is a “technical check”? Maybe clear your cache? I don’t want to know what these URLs are, but I can guarantee they don’t start with https://adguard-dns.io/.

When you get a chance, might be good to take a break and process it all. The world will keep moving, and it won’t wait for you. But the world doesn’t move so fast that you can’t take a breather for a minute, then catch back up to it.

Afterwards? Well, like your mom said, it’s your posessions now. What you do with them is up to you. Whether they are nothing more than mementos, or whether you inherited billions, you get to choose how those posessions are used.

I’m no parent, but if I were, I’d want my child to use my posessions to their fullest, whether that’s making a positive change in their life, using them to achieve a dream, or even using them to further a cause they care deeply about. I’ve never met your dad, but I can’t imagine it being too different for him.

This is super cool! I love seeing these new implementations of JS. boa is another JS runtime written in Rust as well.

I’m curious how easy it is to embed this. Can I use it from another Rust project? Can I customize module loading behavior, or set limits on the runtime to limit CPU usage or memory usage or intercept network calls? Can I use it from a non-Rust project? Or is this intended to be a standalone JS runtime called from the CLI? I’ve been looking at Boa as a JS engine for one of my projects, but I’m open to checking out brimstone too if it’ll work.

Saying the issue here is AI seems like nonsense to me. The issue is that not many tools localize to Icelandic. LLMs are just some of those tools.

Anyway, languages rise and fall. Hell, Hawaiian was practically extinct at one point and nearly entirely undocumented. Hebrew was extinct for over 1000 years before being revived.

To me anyway, what’s most important is documentation. As long as the shift is organic, the rise and fall of languages doesn’t bother me at all. Let’s just make sure that the languages are very well documented so that the languages are never forgotten. They are one of the most important aspects of cultures, after all.

Another commenter already explained why this is unsound, so I’ll skip that, though static mut is almost universally unsound.

Note, of course, that main() won’t be called more than once, so if you can, I would honestly just make this a stack variable containing a Box<[u8; 0x400]> instead. Alternatively, a Box<[u8]> can make it simpler to pass around, and a Vec<u8> that is pre-allocated with Vec::with_capacity lets you track the current length as well with the buffer (if it’s going to have a variable length of actually useful data).

If you want to make it a static for some reason, I’d recommend making it just static and thread_local, then wrapping it in some kind of cell. Making it thread local will mean you don’t need to lock to access it safely.

I’m not sure what this comment is in response to, but yes you should always wash your hands lest you expose someone you shake hands with to your genital sweat mixed with whatever sneeze was on the bathroom door handle. And if I find out you exposed me to your genital sweat, you bet your ass I’m going to write “genital hands” on a post-it note and slap that shit onto your back.

i’ve seen these in a few places including, of all places, a cathedral.

It really makes no sense to me why these aren’t more popular. Just have a wall of stalls with a couple for urinals and the rest as toilets, then a wall of sinks on the other side.

And, of course, put a trash can in each of the damn stalls. People act like cis dudes don’t have garbage to toss in the bathroom either.

Rust currently isn’t as performant as optimized C code, and I highly doubt that even unsafe rust can beat hand optimized assembly — C can’t, anyways.

A bit tangential, but to answer this question, nothing beats the most optimized assembly code. At best, programming languages can only hope to match the most optimized assembly.

Rust does have macros for inlining assembly into your program, but it’s horribly unsafe and not super easy to work with.

Rewriting ffmpeg in Rust is not a solution here (like you’re saying).

The sheer scale of this across multiple sectors should put any fears that we’re not in a recession to rest.

Wow thanks. I feel so relieved now!

Seeing my own friends affected by both the layoffs and the shutdown (since their work is government funded), there’s no way the economy isn’t royally fucked.

Anyway, I’m no economist, so I won’t pretend like I can say what will happen, but it’s very clear something will happen, or we’re already in it (more likely).

Can’t wait to see what happens if/when AI’s hype dies too.

Also, when it comes to mounting radiators, all that matters at the end is where the air collects, and as long as a vertically mounted radiator has one end above the pump, then air will naturally collect there. Tube orientation matters, but not a whole lot. Tubes on the bottom usually means that air collects on the side of the radiator where it’s less likely to recirculate back into the pump, but mounting it the other way doesn’t usually cause issues because the air can still collect and what few bubbles make it to the pump aren’t significant enough to damage it.

TL;DR: the goal is to not run the pump dry, which should never happen as long as the pump isn’t at the top of your water loop (radiator below pump).

You mean Fox Entertainment lied on camera? Who’d have guessed.
