Hey, so this feedback is a bit leftfield but might be useful. On my home network I run pihole using some popular blocklists, and sdk.arengu.com is blocked in two of them, one of them since about 2 years ago. As a result the sign in example

My grandad always used to say "where there's muck there's brass" and I always imagined at some point that would include cleaning up space debris, whether to recycle the materials or simply clear space for others. I actua

As a developer who started noodling on 8 bit BASIC, the power of a web browser that is essentially a universal, network-capable application engine is beyond amazing. As a user, the constant misuse of dark patterns and the glut of careless u

That's one extreme extrapolation. How about, if this happens, it will be the end of commercial IP and the closed-web. Only open source with its inherent transparency and broad, distributed contributors (who would you sue? everybody at

One thing that caught me as interesting about the article was the obstruction map and what could be achieved with that kind of data if it was gathered and correlated with millions of other users. I am no expert but it seems that traditional

I think this is one of the hurdles human civilisation has to iterate over en masse and long-term. Game theory is distorted by a mixture of power dynamics and the abstract nature of "society" - i.e. determining risk v reward (profe

I was thinking that the average age of death would have that effect but I wasn't sure what it was called, so I appreciate the pointer to QALYs. Your point is well taken that the total economic cost can't be based on an 'avera

If the two metrics used are loss of life vs cost of pandemic, the cost of a life needs to be included in the final score I think. In Australia, it appears some early models predicted between 50k to 150k lives lost assuming no response. A st

I fully agree, my first gut reaction every time I read an update about the JWST is fear that something will go wrong. I hope they take all the time needed to get it right. I do also wonder if interactions with air / moisture / dus

It looks like normal <video> tags that attempt to load webm, then mp4, then falls back on a still image. All assets are loaded from their own webserver too (also my PiHole didn't block anything.) Perhaps you have autoplay blocked

As a kid we didn't have a good run with pets so it's just easier to say "no" to owning animals and move on with a clear conscience. Having said that, I do find myself always playing devil's advocate with myself: &qu

Your second paragraph is basically why I will never own a pet. I can't ethically feed my pet, therefore owning a pet is unethical. I love dogs, clumsy waggy little fuckers, but I won't subject another being to my fuckery just beca

Corollary - I did keto for just over a year while on a vegetarian diet with the main goal being weight loss. During that time I felt extremely energised and healthier. While not strictly vegan, my diet was basically the low-carb nuts, legum

I haven't met a vegan who argues dogs should never eat meat. I have heard about it on nightly news from time to time, but I would think that's a very fringe, very uninformed niche of people who got the memo but didn't read it

20ish years ago I was driving ingredients to restaurants. The business owners had metrics that required drivers to break speed and traffic laws in order to hand off all of the ordered goods to the customers. They never specifically ever sai

No issues reported for Perth Australia. Strange because reddit, zip pay, fastly itself, and probably a bunch of other sites are down. Doesn't seem the status page is automatically updated or perhaps whatever event or polling is used is

Tangentially but our local small-town hospital ran its TV system through a C64 system for decades. It was there until the hospital was bulldozed and replaced around 5 years ago. I don't know exactly how it worked but my dad was the eng

A couple of points, the first is criticising lack of real-world use-cases for nascent technology is like criticising the web in the mid 90's. It's like expecting the cart to lead the horse. Having said that, there's plenty of

I think the OP's service is pretty cool, it reminds me of ye olde BBS's. I am actually writing my personal resume as a command prompt based on old 80's PCs as well, albeit in HTML/JS, so I do dig the aesthetic. Applicati

Mainly at present I see it as a demonstration of progress in the capabilities of the models. A machine is writing coherent syntax and grammar in close to real-time, maintaining a semblance of context while it does so, without requiring excr

Thanks for the reply - even if it's not within the design scope your test code reads much cleaner than the code I've used in the past (where perhaps naively I've manually transformed and presented each dimension individually

I went through the tutorials/demos and this seems very intuitive. I don't do a lot of visualisation, but when I do, I've found manually coaxing data and configuring visual parameters to please a library to be tedious as it&#x

Well put, and another aspect beyond currency is a move against centralised control of enterprise. Centralised legal systems governing contracts, centralised ownership and rewards, centralised risk, etc. Some people looked at how the world i

The situation has echoes of the scholars who a few years back submitted fake papers to journals, some of which passed peer review and were published. That was an attempt to backdoor the scientific method, really. I don't condone guerri

From my understanding, FHE can represent Boolean circuits, so you don't write an "FHE application"; you can send an encrypted input into an encrypted Boolean circuit and get an encrypted result. Since FHE operations are Boole

I'm pretty sure you're joking, but the client's browser makes the request for a resource. If you're letting your browser request code you don't want to execute, that's on you.
