Firefox has this built in, about:config privacy.resistFingerprinting.letterboxing. It was contributed upstream by Tor, and off by default in Firefox. Edit: I think I misunderstood you, you’re looking for something that adds changing noise t

I’ve seen this “next version” trick enough times and in enough contexts to know when to call BS. There’s always a next version, it’s rarely night-and-day better, and when it is better you’ll have evidence, not just a salesman’s word. People

It depends on the company. I’d never dream of reporting a bug to Apple, they don’t care. I think your turnip truck analogy applies there. On the other hand, iA Writer consistently replies thoughtfully and usually fixes the bug. It’s so impo

Here’s a version that’s IMO much simpler still, about half as long as both (after fixing v2’s line count cheating), and fixes a bug: both article versions wait an extra 60 seconds between the last attempt and returning an error. func

The fact that people can’t see beauty in a thing like this feels to me like people looking at a field of flowers and calling it ugly for all the ways it doesn’t look like Disney Land.

I think you’re just using it well. Personally I always try hard to ask can’t-possibly-be-leading questions, which is tricky, and I sometimes fail at.

I don’t fully understand the algorithm, but no, to my understanding it’s much more general than that. In each tick a cell’s state is solely determined by its immediate neighbors, which means the simulation has a “speed of light” of 1 cell&#

It seems that you’ve only read the first part of the message. X sometimes aggressively truncates content with no indication it’s done so. I’m not sure this is complete, but I’ve recovered this much: > I read through these slides and felt

I’ve noticed this too. An important quirk to note is they can’t really judge the strength of the logical connection, they just judge the strength of the thing connected, even weakly, to. So, for example, if the LLM makes a pretty solid and

Unfortunately, history is littered with linguistic treadmills for concepts people don’t like to say. We destroyed our singular “you” like this, I don’t think we’re going to stop to save “an update on {thing}”.

It’s not free money, it’s high risk with a net positive expected return. Any significant profit would carry an irresponsible level of risk. Significant profit without significant risk would take many bets, which means sustaining the accurac

I’d appreciate if somebody more familiar with SO would verify this, but I believe there’s some low constant number of close votes required to close something, and this doesn’t adapt to how many people are voting or to positive signals. Beca

The terms aren’t causing this confusion, it’s that you’re applying them to less specific subjects, in particular omitting periods. “3% chance per day” makes sense, “remote chance on any particular day” makes sense, “remote chance” does not

Session links are what you’re looking for. Privacy Pass doesn’t work if you clear cookies, and in fact will lock you out of Privacy Pass for a month if you clear cookies maybe four times. Ask me how I found out. https://help.kagi

Just FYI: There are two editions, Java and Bedrock. Java is the original, available on PC and Mac, and supports programming-like technical play and mods. Bedrock is Microsoft’s reimplementation, available on all devices except Mac, and supp

It’s Safari you’re talking about. All other browsers, even Chrome, support arbitrary default search engines, while Safari doesn’t even support them via extension, requiring ugly redirect hacks. Privacy Pass is similar, with all browsers let

I saw that, yet all the above remains true. Income, even after inflation adjustment, isn’t the same thing as living standards.

Your link does not support your claim or in fact mention living standards at all. The fact, widely evident to every American not in the upper 20%, is that your paycheck is bigger, your house is worse, your food is worse, your healthcare is

This is the norm for Gen Z. We don’t see it because children don’t set social norms where adults are present too, but with the oldest of Gen Z about to turn 30, you and I should expect to see this more and more, and get used to it. If every

Nobody likes the guy, but I think a lot of people let their distaste for a person blind them to their strategy. Since Musk’s early days co-founding PayPal, his MO has been to start with a small fortune, bet it on a fortune 10x that, and rep

We can’t neglect the possibility that BadBadBad is a term that the Backblaze code base now defines directly, not just in terms of its etymological root “bad”. Its name and definition may overlap the common word, but also carry additional me

Unless there’s another AI breakthrough, the real applications of AI are and will be things that it’s ok to get wrong 10% of the time, usually because prior approaches were wrong more than 10% of the time. This is fine for the Playskool worl

Yes, but we were duped at the time, so it’s right and good that we maintain light on and anger at the ongoing manipulation, in the hope of next time recognizing it as it happens, not after they’ve used us, screwed us, and walked away with a
