Felt like this was suicide by cop.
Don’t those usually go for the cop instead of killing randos?


Truly, that is the issue most salient in the US right now.
Not right wing authoritarianism, decay of the checks and balances, large scale vote manipulation, and the economic squeezing of the population
That island takes up so much mindeshare for many millions of people. Of course someone would spoof their GPS position to propose a PokéStop or Gym there, just for the fun of it.


The “Lite” version is what gorhill made to at least work with Manifest v3 as well as possible, though he does not like that he is limited to Googles filtering framework with it.

the 2nd one is a scam that google never tried to remove
It’s a little more complicated. uBlock was the original name, gorhil handed it off when he felt the maintenance burden became too high. Then he forked it to make his own uBlock Origin version.
At some point later uBlock was bought up by the AdBlock people, who in turn were later bought by the AdBlock Plus people.
So it’s not a scam exactly, more like an inbred sideline of the royal family.


The services are expected to connect to government systems rather than function solely as standalone chatbots. Residents will be able to use them to book doctor appointments, search for apartments, and get tax guidance. Small businesses will be able to calculate taxes and check whether they qualify for government support. Parents will receive recommendations for educational content.
I doubt if any of this is a good idea. Put my trust in an LLM, and specifically for the more important aspects of my life? Not for me. But maybe people will. I have learned I’m bad at predicting the masses.
The government plans to distribute up to 512 Nvidia B200 chips among the three consortia and help cover operating costs.
That seems like a very low number for a population of 50’000’000 of which a fourth is currently paying for AI access. I mean it’s less than what would be in sixteen NVL36x2 racks. That’s like one aisle in a data center. And they want to split it over three groups… okay?
I am beginning to wonder if this is a genuine attempt, or if they just want to pump the KOSPI, since Samsung and SK Hynix profit so much off of selling shovels (the shovels are memory in this case).


I hope the supreme court doesn’t backstab them yet again


any CompSci grad I’ve worked with couldn’t write code for shit
Damn, that sounds pretty bad.
We had tons of math and theoretical work too, but we also programmed a fair amount: We had to write a renderer in one class, a compiler in another, various Android apps in a third, and in one elective I took we wrote a micro kernel OS as well.


Density comes into it if we are measuring buoyancy. The weight of the displaced water is equal to the weight of the buoyant object, and the ratio of volume submerged vs above water should give a way to determine density, but I don’t have the precise method in my head right now.
However assuming all you want is the volume, you simply need to fully submerge the object (by applying enough downward force if its density is too low), and the displaced volume is equal to the objects volume. The displaced water will have to flow to the top of the container, so by measuring the rise in water level and multiplying with the base area of your container you can get it easily.
Just make sure you don’t accidentally also measure your hand if you’re pushing down the sphere.


A0 is a square meter. Its sides are self similar, such that the ratio of long to short edge stays the same when you cut one in the middle, and thus create a new long and short edge.
Each cut produces two sheets of the next Ax number, so A4 is four times halved compared to A0, or a sixteenth of a square meter.
That property of being able to halve is achieved with a ratio of the square root of 2, so unfortunately the measurements in absolute numbers get pretty odd.


Yes, that’s clear. But some human moron still decided to publish the output.


I think that’s almost an inevitable mathematical difference between a two party system and multi party systems with n > 2.
The hardened center of a party won’t abandon their guy at the head of the executive, so they form the floor for the approval rating. In a party ostensibly representing half the people, that hardened center will be large, and is apparently 35% large for the Republicans.
In comparison France has 8 relevant parties, Germany has 6 relevant parties (or 5 if we combine the Union, which is mostly just separated into Bayern/not-Bayern but otherwise the same). So their hardened centers will also be much smaller.
I don’t really have much hope for the US system, this concentration of power with constant internal stalemating will eventually kill them. But the incumbent parties don’t want to change the voting system. So there is no way out.


It also reminded me of that. But the weird thing is that Sparta is the one we were supposed to root for, in the movie. So why would the Trumpists write Iran there? Maybe just stupidity once again?


Well yeah, who doesn’t know Robbie Williams? Isn’t he more or less one of the best known solo artists internationally?
Though he now isn’t as young as in that picture anymore.
For reference: I’m Swiss, and in my early 30s


That would be the funniest outcome, the entire bubble pops because the idiots in charge still have not figured out how a supply chain works, or what the effects of tariffs are.


Those two activities are unrelated to me. sock/sock after the shower, shoe/shoe before leaving the dwelling.


Alyssa Rosenzweig. Not Resenzweig. It means Twig of Roses. Here’s her website: https://alyssarosenzweig.ca/


Well… that would be hard. Maintaining, upgrading and extending a corner of the Internet is my day-job.
So I guess the minimum would be that some other international communications network takes over and Swiss tertiary education institutes would all like to be connected to that instead of the Internet.
Then all the multiplayer games I host for my international friend group would also have to support this new stack of protocols, same for my communications channels, most of all chat apps and email. Then I could also move my personal use cases off the Internet.
Then I could be done with it.
The real question is why would we ever do that, it sounds insanely costly, and not that much is wrong with IPv4 and IPv6.
I’d say yes. If it’s regular rare it’s interesting for the younglings, if its extra rare it’s interesting even for the experienced.
