> Can bot writers overcome this if they know the credentials?

Yes, instead of doing just a HTTP request, do a HTTP request with authentication, trivial really. Probably the reason they "can't" do that now is because they haven't came across "public content behind Basic Auth with known correct credentials", so the behavior hasn't been added. But it's literally loading http://username:password@example.com instead of http://example.com to use Basic Auth, couldn't be simpler :)

I agree, that's pretty dumb. But I wouldn't say "no easy way to add suffixes to the list" at the very least.

Heat and plastic as a combination always scares me, I'd probably avoid microwaving toothbrushes if I were you.

Seems to be these ones, and bunch of more videos in the description too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJvmAXCh6Ak

> Are you still having bad issues with Ableton? I did until recently, but now with Ableton in a fairly simple Bottles setup it works quite well (for me, at least).

Could you share the config somehow so I could try it out? Last time I tried to get it to work I couldn't get it to recognize my audio interface (USB class compliant, Steinberg UR44), and the UI was very glitchy.

I don't think I have any special needs compared to others, do fairly basic things. Which version is it that you've tried it with? Tried v11 years ago I think, and v12 when it was just released, but not since then.

Laws in general tend to leave a bit of room for interpretation, and then those are to be cemented in specific contexts/scenarios by precedents, that's how I understand many systems of law at at least, maybe it works differently where Libera.chat and Ofcom are based.

You're kind of preaching to the choir here with that.

How do we get the people who already doing this in businesses to stop doing it, if they see it as "saving time" and currently don't have qualms with it?

Meanwhile, Microsofts cannot even get their own Surface line with Windows on them to not wake up while in your backpack.

Games using kernel anti-cheats + Ableton + Unreal Engine (editor + plugins) not running properly on Linux are the three only things stopping me from removing Windows fully from my desktop.

> But then again, TensorFlow's got its enterprise backing, and I can't help but think about the implications of that. How long can PyTorch ride this wave before it runs into pressure from industry demands?

PyTorch has a huge collection of companies, organizations and other entities backing it, it's not gonna suddenly disappear soon, that much is clear. Take a look at https://pytorch.org/foundation/ for a sample

Considering how many "large boned" US police officers one could see on social media today (since I don't live in the US), it seems like they don't even have physical exams anymore, which seems like the lowest bar to put in place.

Really grateful that a project like this took on the task to ask for legal advice, and extra kudos for actually releasing a statement based on their understanding of the legal advice. Hopefully will be useful to lots of similar organizations.

Libera.chat seems to say that even if Ofcom thinks they have a case, they don't as Libera's user base doesn't have enough UK users:

> The exact fraction of the UK’s online population that must use a given service to be considered “significant” is unknown, but based on our counsel’s observations of Ofcom’s previous regulatory actions, it appears to be much higher than our internal estimates of how large our UK user base is.

At one point I also moved from Angular to React, after moving from Backbone to Angular, and from "just" jQuery + jQuery UI to Backbone. After moving to React, I haven't found the need to move to something else, most of the alternatives are marginal improvements, while the difference before and after React is pretty drastic.

The only "almost messed up" thing I could find about the service, was this:

> Second Sight merged with Nano Precision Medical in August 2023 with a commitment to provide technical support for the Argus II

Maybe you're alluding to something more than is mentioned in that article, did they not fulfill their commitment to provide the technical support in the end?

> In 2019, the war for ML frameworks has two remaining main contenders: PyTorch and TensorFlow. My analysis suggests that researchers are abandoning TensorFlow and flocking to PyTorch in droves.

Seems they were pretty spot on! https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=pytorch,...

But to be fair, it was kind of obvious around ~2023 without having to look at metrics/data, you just had to look at what the researchers publishing novel research used.

Any similar articles that are a bit more up to date, maybe even for 2025?

The typical/general computer user wouldn't even understand the ">" character, I think you either don't grasp the wide range of people who sit in front of computers daily, or you over-estimate their ability of grasping computer concepts, because you'd say that sentence to the typical computer user and most of them wouldn't understand most of it.

> You're lucky. In my experience no-call lists don't work.

I don't think so, I've had friends and acquaintances that had the same issue as you, multiple spam calls per day. I helped them add themselves to their national list, and after a month or two the constant spamming stops.

I think you might just be unlucky living in country that doesn't have such list that works OK. I've lived in multiple different countries so far in my life, and it's been the same thing in all of them, adding myself to the list eventually makes the spam stop.

I remember watching one of the first React demonstrations/talks, and the biggest selling point was literally "You have a web page with various elements, and some of them needs to keep in sync, at Facebook we have chat messages and notifications, and they need to be in sync regardless of where you are, even on the same page, how do you solve that?" and then outlined how having one place for the state to live solves that issue without resorting to two-way data-bindings, instead data only flows in one direction.

Not sure if React isn't being presented as such anymore, but that's still the problem I see React solving, not more, not less.

Some stuff is written for some people, other stuff is written for other people. This shouldn't be hard to understand, nor particularly novel either.

I'm not sure, just last year a company I contracted for had the same issue, but this time with a person from Google who were trying their hardest to employ "Google-like" processes onto something that really shouldn't have been so complicated.

I think every company that has a "strong culture", no matter what direction, tends to impact people deeply enough that they try to take that with them when they join new places, often creating lots of friction and adding complexity where there shouldn't be any.

My phone number is basically public and has been for 20 years, every email I send has my phone number and it's findable via the public internet too.

Not sure why people see their phone number as something private?

FWIW, I've heard some people saying they avoid it because of spam, I've been on my local anti-spam list since I got my current phone number, and receive about 1 spam call every week or something. Maybe there is one for where you live too.

> and introducing unskippable ads.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but where on either ChatGPT or the API platform OpenAI hosts are you seeing ads?

But then skim the submission article and try to evaluate which audience it seems written for.

Considering they have stuff like "Located within the Sysdiagnoses in the Unified Logs section (specifically, Sysdiagnose Folder -> system_logs.logarchive -> Extra -> shutdown.log)" in the article, my guess is that they're aiming for people who at least have a basic understanding of security, not general users, as those wouldn't understand an iota of that.

Hence my tiredness of that soundbite, because it's almost never actually true. But I guess it depends on if you see "60% of contents is sugar" as "pure sugar with food coloring" or not, at least for me it's a difference but I understand for others it's basically the same.

> There was a time when the L7+ principal IC at Amazon/AWS were rockstars in our industry that represented the pinnacle of one’s career.

I dunno, maybe in Silicon Valley or the US in general, but I think most places outside of that took a much more balanced view of those people even back then, they're just humans after all.

Many people experienced working with those "rockstar" engineers outside of Amazon, "rockstars" who still tried to work as if they were still at Amazon, and the obvious effect of that was that it created a lot of needless friction between the people who saw themselves as "I'm the best engineer because I was L7 at AWS" and the rest of the company.

Some stoner-engineering could hook up two cans with each other, one is the cup you use for burning the material and the other one the "water-passageway". Obviously not recommended as there is plastic liner on the inside, but in that way you could use the inside :) Basically a bong in two pieces made out of two cans.

From https://www.myfooddiary.com/foods/143911/jolly-rancher-hard-... (maybe the wrong one?)

Then I did something like "3 pieces weigh 18g with ~11g total sugars and 17g total carbs so about 61% sugars"

It's just flowery language, pretty common across the board in articles about culture, for better or worse.

My understanding of "sensationalist" is that something is grossly exaggerated in shocking way, not just trying to be "poetic", although I'd argue that what the author did in this article comes off as more "cringe" rather than "poetic".

I literally don't have those in my country :) Based on labels I found online, seems "Jolly Rancher" is more or less 61% sugar of its total weight.

> You may be surprised how close many candies are to being pure sugar with food coloring.

Grab a fistful of whatever candy you're thinking about when you say that and put it in your mouth. Then once you've done that, try doing the same with pure sugar. Tell me if you think you got different amounts of sugar in your mouth or not.

It's not the first time I hear this soundbite, and while it perhaps sounds cool as a TikTok comment, it really doesn't make much sense in reality.
