You may have missed them saying "when accounting for inflation". In the US at the moment that's around 3%. Thus your local credit union's savings account, a nice and stable investment, is effectively giving you around

Machine-readable infoboxes are surprisingly painful because an "infobox" isn't a top-level thing in mediawiki. Rather, it's something that emerged from community practice -- a template that's slightly-standardized,

There's a whole statement-of-principles thing that at least implies that the intention isn't to cannibalize the existing offerings: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Enterprise/Princip... Though

No idea whether it's any quicker than the event stream APIs, but it sounds like the machine-readable aspect does a lot of processing that just using parsoid wouldn't get you. Parsoid is only a wikitext-to-HTML service, so you&#x27

My understanding is that Enterprise is mostly about smoother delivery of content. E.g. Google has those informational summaries in search results, and it's easier for it to keep those current if there's a stream of updates it can

That article is just a journalist who read that tweet, and is bulking it out with a bunch of sales numbers in a kind of rambling manner. The tweet on its own was a better way to get this information.

There was a comment in the results call where Furukawa was asked whether it was a whole new console-type or another Switch, and he said "Switch next model is the appropriate way to describe it", so it sounds like they're stay

Questioning the premise... is there a need for this? Chasing analytics is famously poisonous in other fields of content-creation. I guess advertisers want to know exactly who's listening. The point of centralizing it like this would

The bits of this controversy about "where's the LAM?" are strange to me. My impression from the beginning was that the "Large Action Model" was a server-side thing, and the hardware was going to be almost-entirely a

The proposed California law is written so that it basically only applies to Google and other social media giants. You need to have 50M+ monthly users, or be owned by someone with either a market cap of $550B+ or 1B+ monthly users. The text:

Yeah, specifically you need to find a copy of the WoW client waaaaay back at version 3.3.5a and then tweak it slightly so that it connects to your custom server instead. https://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/client-setup

Can't speak for what Google plans to do in the future, but currently news results in search can either be a "top stories" block at the top of the results, or regular search results. In "top stories" you get just t

I don't think Google is pretending. Its linking is legitimate. Also, it feels strange to draw an equivalence between Google downranking a spam website and the government charging to link to things.

That seems unrelated to the issue? I don't think those link-farms should have to pay to link to things either...

I agree with Google on this one. Charging a fee just for linking to something is a bad idea. It does get fuzzier if you're also summarizing, and there's clearly some sort of spectrum from "just the URL" to "AI synop

It's easy and cheap to get USB-C to headphone jack adaptors, so anyone who wants to use wired headphones can do so. (The Apple one is $9, and we know how they like to gouge on accessories.) I've also seen simultaneous headphone-

Never having used one of these before, is there anything (ideally conveniently built in) that you can use to know before you cut a particular material whether it'll trigger the stop? Touch it against the blade while it's not runni

My understanding is that the "learn from app" setting relates to it watching out for NSUserActivity, which is something the app developer has to explicitly send out. The app developer is motivated to do so because NSUserActivity

This is from when I was using Linux full-time around 2010, but I was a foobar2000 user on Windows and wound up using Quod Libet as the best Linux-side replacement for it I could find. It wasn't a perfect substitute, but it worked for m

It doesn't have to be identical. For the method they're describing you just have to get search results -- so you can use regex in that. You can also just command-click anywhere you want to leave a new selection-point. (Or use vari

In terms of "ruins your life", anything past a few years does that. Speaking purely for myself, I don't feel much difference in the deterrent effect from the punishment being 5 years or 25 years. Either one would utterly wrec

I don't think I've seen him do opposition to workers rights / unions? He hasn't been constantly yelling about supporting them either, but that's different. E.g. a quick google for "daring fireball unions"
