presumably you control the urls you are sending in the email. As a result if you want to use query strings that's fine. The issue only arises when you use query strings to implement tracking on someone else's site instead.

But, this is robust? I mean it's pretty clearly stating that you are visiting an unsupported URL. It provides direction on what to do about it to the user. It does not crash the browser or the server. In pretty much every dimension t

I recently tried to make something properly sandboxed and, my goodness, we have basically crafted an ecosystem where everything needs access to everything. No wonder docker, despite all it's faults, is how everyone does it. You need an

That is an unusual definition of shrinkflation. I always understood it as quantity going down not quality.

I haven't seen any indication that they are. Can you point me at some?

I don't know. Some of those statements still look correct at the time they were made and then people found out how to work around them. I don't think anyone has shown his general assumption is wrong really. The issue is we don&#x2

Man what a blast from the past. I was on that team before it got shut down.

Maybe it's time for fossil to get another look... It's effectively distributed code, wiki, and issues all using the same tool.

You essentially have to run in google to use them and that probably limits their ability to breakout. Anthropic might be doing this deal as a way to shore up their supply chain and cost of both inference and training by leveraging Google&#x

Google does have a sort of temporary moat. They have a much better hardware supply line story than anyone else and the revenue to maintain that edge indefinitely.

I don't like aspartame because it's sickeningly sweet. I could care less if it's healthy or not.

No, it isn't. Twitter was absolutely brilliant marketing. It perfectly encapsulated what the site was at the time. X is just a letter the current owner likes. It has absolutely no relevance to what the site does or is for.

Simpler to use? yes. Simpler under the hood? No.

I worked at google. k8s does not really look at all like what they used internally when I was there, aside from sharing some similar looking building blocks.

So theoretically if your spending was hiring more and better teachers and better HVAC and more/smaller classes then spending would and has experimentally been verified to have an impact. Especially if you also paired it with getting ri

But filling a leaky bucket does have an impact. You just have to fill it faster than it empties. Which is probably your point. My point is different. Study after study shows that below a specific floor spending has almost no impact on educa

If increasing spending had almost no impact over time why would cutting spending have an impact?

Right even for senior engineers this can be hard to get right in practice. Parse, don't validate is certainly one approach to the problem. Choosing languages that force you to get it right is another.

I think perhaps a better wording of the law would be: "Be prepared to be sent almost anything. But be specific about what you will send yourself".

I probably use a different interpretation of Postel's law. I try not "break" for anything I might receive, where break means "crash, silently corrupt data, so on". But that just means that I return an error to the s

Frankly everything I have seen about says that the people using LLMs to develop it can not be trusted with LLMs so no. I am not using it. I'm not anti-llm's I'm anti-stupid-llm-usage.

As far as I know the model will do nothing if not prompted. So it can't be the case that he gave it no prompt or instructions. There had to be some kind of seed prompt.

Also not replicated that I can see.

You are certainly free to make up your own definitions for words and speak a dialect that is niche but you will not be effectively communicating when you do. By commonly understood definition criminality is a matter of law.

Is it your position that privacy is a right regardless of any action you take? Many rights are dependent on circumstance and in tension with other rights. In this case I think you can make the case that their right to privacy is lost.

The antidote to a power imbalance is to recognize that there is no power imbalance and go about your life that way. Pretending there is one lands you in an imaginary trap. Build a society where we recognize that and you build a society wher
