It set a HTTP user agent string...

“About 5 grams”, “approximately 250ml”.

Precision is orthogonal to the unit.

A lot of the commonwealth countries switch ~1970 (UK, Australia, Canada at least).

Why does the absolute number matter? Every trades truck/stockpile will need to stock double for some time, not some absolute value increase.

> scooping something by measuring cup or trying to get a specific weight by 0.1g precision

Why are you conflating speed and precision? A cup-ish measure would be 200g and no one is measuring that to .05% accuracy.

On the flip side, good luck getting .1g precision out of a measuring cup if you need it.

> Half of our houses were built 50 years ago

That’s true of everywhere in the world at the time they made the switch (give or take a decade). Why is that a problem unique to America?

> If Iran had a different foreign policy

That's my point. Iran did, and it did not work out for them so why would they try again?

> Polling of Iranians citizens show 69% of people

67% of people believe Trump is doing a bad job; 56% believe the US shouldn't be in this war; 63% believe the US should stop supporting Israel. They're all roughly the same % as your quote, does that mean the US should change foreign policy?

> Iran's situation was entirely avoidable

Sure, by not dropping bombs on them while negotiation with them?

That's the difference - they have well defined and bounded errors. LLMs do not.

You know that the Iran of then is almost completely unrelated to the Iran of now culturally, politically and even religiously due to... err... “foreign intervention”, right?

The question wasn’t about a hammer robot, it was about a hammer

That wasn’t the question though? A hammer doesn’t have a chat interface, that’s the point.

When used according to it’s datasheet/user manual, how?

> I also enjoy the crowing about having only a 6 page constitution and then halfway through the font size is changed to make everything fit, the same way I’d modify line spacing or font size on a paper in high school to hit the teachers demands without actually doing so.

Those are patch notes (page 7 onwards). The text ends on page 6 with the same font the whole way through.

> Because the US is overwhelmingly urban sprawl and is not Europe

That's a bad excuse

a) because Europe isn't one single demographic but still public transport is useful, reliable and safe everywhere (from Dublin/Zurich on the low side of the population density scale to London/Paris/Madrid on the high side and Amsterdam/Hamburg/Prague in the middle).

and b) there are plenty of examples outside of Europe. Melbourne is urban sprawl. The metro area is 50 miles east to west, 30 miles north to south (more, but there's also a big bay) and a population of only 5 million. A lower population density than the Denver MSA but manages to run a train/bus/tram system that's useful, reliable and safe.

Even if you accept that (I don't, and neither should the courts), Google controls the next hundred processing/routing/rendering/middleware steps and is fully in control of the content that makes it to the user.

> I am irrationally angry about this

Did you notice that the 2,500 mile flight earned/generated/conjured 2,500 miles?

(I know, I know, things can change the number you get...)

Did you read the things you're linking?

> https://owasp.org/www-community/pages/attacks/ip_spoofing_vi...

Isn't an actual technique, it's describing the observed result if the server were to blindly trust some HTTP headers which is just the application payload in a TCP stream. It's not spoofing the IP at any network layer.

> https://github.com/ParsaKSH/spoof-tunnel

Requires mutually agreed spoofing on both sides... at which point it's not really spoofing and also clearly not applicable because Wikipedia will not agree to it. (It is useful in the context that they're using it, just not at all what you're talking about)

Without controling a router that's on the path or being able to publish a route that contains the IP address you're trying to spoof, there is no way to spoof an IP address in bidirectional communication.

That doesn’t work for an HTTP request (or any stateful communication that requires return traffic)

Most large US airports do (although it’s a little more subtle than in Asia/middle east).

It’ll also usually be branded “priority” or “premium” with the dominant airline for that airport/terminal (eg. Sky Priority or Premier Access).

Large airports like SFO, DEN and LAX have all combinations of CLEAR/PreCheck/Premium. Smaller ones only have some (ie. premium line doesn’t have precheck or clear).

The only airport I’ve been to recently that I don’t recall having a line like that was Bozeman.

That might be dependent on terminal.

Terminal 3 definitely has a United “Premier Access”/Star Alliance Gold line.

Losing your licence and many fines are FAA administrative processes so they don’t care. No courts involved.

Putting words in their mouths makes it harder to get the actual statements, which seems counter to getting actual information about (or from) these companies.

Cloudflare feels like yet another tech company living too long and becoming the villain.

Early Cloudflare days I moved all the infrastructure I was responsible for over to them for being so developer friendly. Now they are both developer unfriendly (eg. horror stories around pricing and plan swaps) and consumer unfriendly with way more frequent intersitals than I remember from ~5 years ago.

I think every time I log in to GitLab I get a Cloudflare check. Doesn’t matter if I’m on a residential connection, starbucks, airport or VPN.

Specifically a coalition of parties that are not in power and seem to be unable to figure out why they aren’t in power.

But not with march=native?

The distirbuted binaries use two standard instruction sets for x86-64 and one for arm like “march=x86-64-v3”

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Gentoo_binhost/Available_packag...

I know all that (I have a class A). That’s why I am calling out the inconsistency as a loophole.

One part of the regulatory/legislative system allows a vehicle to be classified as commercial (to get the benefits of looser regulation) but another part does not consider it a commercial vehicle (and it benefits from the looser regulations of a passenger vehicle).

Seems about 5x as many pedestrians die on the roads than cyclists, so by that logic pedestrians are banned from roads too? No more pedestrian accessible roadside shops?

https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-pedestrians-and-cycli...

The loophole is to classify them as “light” commercial vehicles.

I’m fine with that if US regulation was consistent with that commercial classification and they required a CDL to drive (and all the associated annual medical checks and zero BAC etc.)

If that consistency was there every manufacturer would immediately drop the commercial classification and figure out how to make their trucks satisfy the passenger classification in FMVSS.

I see plenty of landscapers in Ireland with utility vans. What’s wrong with those?

(I’m not a landscaper, but they seem to pack in everything from hand tools to those petrol powered tiller & compacting tools)

Ahh whoops, yep!
