I don’t know if it’s been tried, but if not it would be in everyone’s interest to see what Mullvad will actually cough up.

Note that there’s a big difference between AI and LLMs. There are plenty reliable techniques (by for example providing confidence estimations) in the AI toolbox. It’s just that LLMs aren’t one of them.

I’m pretty sure that’s mostly down to who your VPN is having you share IPs with. It’s hard to limit unwanted traffic while not impacting regular VPN users.

More annoying to me is getting captchas constantly just for running a recursive dns resolver. That’s a normal piece of internet infrastructure and is well-behaved.

If you believe that, it’s worth broadening your horizons and looking beyond big Hollywood productions.

Additionally this is the best way to cook whole-grain rice. Unfortunately contaminants collect in the husk and cooking in large amounts of water dilutes it more.

At least two is not uncommon with large UI frameworks having a UI definition DSL.

Right, this and native nesting support.

For me a big part is that global CSS doesn’t match component based web applications as well. Coordinating global class names becomes a pain quickly. Then you move to scoped CSS and suddenly CSS doesn’t add much anymore.

They’re not know for efficiency or being methodical, but for gründlichkeit - being meticulous.

Then again, anything like this is a stereotype.

The article is rather long and I didn’t manage to read it all. But why wouldn’t this be done like a lock, where the shape of the key determines how far (or in this case which) pins are pushed? That way, you never have to touch the rotating wheel directly.

The key then would just be an internal wheel that rotates and pushes out the right pins. If it works for a lock, surely it would work for something with much less resistance?

Edit: nvm, they discussed this and dismissed it, although I don’t fully agree with the reason.

The big difference is height of the front of the car. For pedestrian safety you want them to end up on the hood or at worst go over the top of the car. Trucks and SUVs have pedestrians end under the car, which is more likely to be immediately fatal.

Maybe it’s actually a non-leaky abstraction because it makes the async-nature explicit. The alternative is hiding it, but it’s still going to affect your code, making that effectively a leaky abstraction.

1.8B is about one percent of the budget. So not that big of a rebate, especially when split among all member countries pro rata.

I’ve understood it as: Valve isn’t really in the hardware or console business. They release these fairly open devices in the hopes they get copied by others. Either to create a new market for Steam or to ensure an upcoming market has at least some Steam compatible devices.

Society isn’t shaped just by current laws, but also by where we want things to go. If the current situations is undesirable, changing laws and regulations is the way to change it. (Of course actually enforcing current laws and regulations can also go a long way in many cases…)

If the edges were all made as small arcs with extra actuators to rotate them either flat along the surface or outwards to form something that can roll. Might need to do the same for diagonals to get it to roll smoothly?

There’s no could about it. Dutch food advisory is already to limit eating fish to once a week because of PFAS.

And eggs from chickens kept in your own yard are considered unsafe to eat, in a pretty big area. Unless you want to have them tested regularly at ~€600 each time.

Home Assistant with a connector for whatever smart meter you have will happily do this for you without the data ever leaving your home.

FreeTube (standalone client) and LibRedirect (browser extension) nicely replace YouTube.com completely for a much cleaner experience and no shorts.

Operating under the assumption that companies provide no value to society, maybe. Otherwise this is extracting value from companies and then leaving society worse off.

These PEs are the locusts of the financial world.

I was recently wondering whether billionaires are already sourcing water only from pre-plastics ice like glaciers or icebergs.

If only. The amount of plastic absorbed by pretty much everything we eat could easily be the most significant part. With possible exceptions for especially badly treated products such as GP's plastic-rolled fries.

Human diversity being what it is, I doubt a world government is desirable at all.

But maybe we can agree on some basics around fairly sharing food and toys and not trying to steal the other kids toys (or even half their yard).

Or they do have such logs, but don’t feel like taking the reputation hit of telling you what happened.

In my experience it’s way to aggressive at stemming and rewriting and there’s no way to do a literal search.

One thing that I really wish one of these emulators would support is VR. The VR support in Zelda and Mario would really shine on a proper VR HMD with VR controllers.

And on top of that it’s also easy to mostly guarantee the plug-in can only access the APIs you give it. Which is quite nice for third party code.

Some dev workflow tools really benefit from being very fast. And parsing and ast building and the like are actually things that rust is quite good for.

That doesn’t mean it couldn’t be done in other languages, but it’s a weighing of trade-offs. And of course, groups of people, such as developers on socials, are quite sensitive to popularity.

You do you, and please don’t take this as a complaint about altruism per se. But making one feel good is often considered the most important (and most effective) part of effective altruism.

AFAIK you can actually get the sensors used for tracking at somewhat OK prices. But iirc the sensors actually do some part of the position calculations and as such aren’t simple enough to be really cheap.
