NO! This is not just false, it’s dangerously false.

If a country takes measures to emit 500M less tons of CO2 per year, the result is… 500M less tons of CO2 in the air per year than otherwise. That helps!

There isn’t a single fucked/not fucked threshold. There are a lot of nuances of fucked and each one we dodge puts us in an incrementally less awful place. Who knows how many more lives saved for each Mton CO2 not produced. Who knows how many species get to live, how many fewer days of heatwave per year, how many more glaciers survive.

I STG, “we’re already fucked anyway” is oil shill talk. Fuck that noise, let’s make oil obsolete, let’s avoid entire shades of fucked, we’ve already made insane progress with renewables and electric cars, let’s just keep going! Let’s pressure our individual politicians because you know the fuckers love it when you give up! You on board?

Just wanna quickly applaud the writing in this comment. Conveying a show’s vibes this effectively in just a few sentences is not easy.

(What’s the long-payoff Andor joke though? I may have missed it.)

I’ll venture, it’s a natural if misdirected immune reaction from people who are all too aware they are being tracked ceaselessly and relentlessly, all day, everyday, not to their benefit. So sure, this one piece of software swears its own tracking is just for debugging purposes… But why risk it?

I know how MV3 works, thanks. The point remains that from the moment it was announced people have been claiming, usually with much hyperbole, that Chrome was trying to kill adblockers, and yet here we are with adblockers still blocking ads. In terms of software engineering, I actually find it interesting that they managed to achieve the stated goal of preventing a certain class of malware extensions while letting adblockers still work (though I know it’s not a widely shared sentiment).

Mind you, I still preferred living in an MV2 world, and I still encourage people to switch to Firefox. It’s better for everyone if the ecosystem is more diverse.

uBlock dragged its feet supporting MV3 but AdGuard works fine.

Except the aces, which is fine too.

Naples is breathtaking, but… Yeah. That constant niggling feeling dampens the experience a wee bit.

You better start believing in furry stories on the Internet. You’re in one. The joke that furries run the Internet is only a joke until you discover that it’s, in fact, largely true.

Hey, so who are you? What kind of person?

Loyal to your people? Introverted but faithful in friendship? Curious and playful? Are you more dignified, or carefree? Given to hoarding, or full of wanderlust? Drawn to the forest, the sky, the sea, or your den? Single-minded or scatterbrained? A mix of all that? Something else entirely?

Gee, that’s a lot of options. If only there was a way to put some kind of symbolic label on the many little traits that make up the identity of the person that is you… :)

Also, it so turns out that if you come hang out with those who chose to self-label thus as wolf-like or fox-like or dragon-like or deer-like, you may find they’re chill and welcoming people, throw great parties, and don’t mind one bit if, ultimately, the you that makes sense to you is in the end human-like.

They invented a hybrid attention design that drastically reduces the amount of memory needed for the KV cache at inference time. Like, dividing it by 10. And memory is a large part of the cost of inference.

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once would definitely also be my recommendation. Because a kung fu comedy that’s also a sci fi thriller, a bilingual family drama that can switch languages multiple times per sentence, a Ratatouille parody, and a 10 minute silent shot of two rocks in a desert, that just SHOULD NOT WORK. The fact it does, and does brilliantly, with ten new directing ideas every minute and a climax that leaves me in tears every time, borders on genius.

All Your Base is the granddaddy of Internet memes and yet I can’t help feeling that its specific subgenre was sublimated a bit later on, with this, the legend, the joyful, the unforgettable: Yatta!

Successful rolls are mostly not necessary to progress the game. Your guy is many things, including a bit of a loser who just hit rock bottom, but your success as a player of the game is only loosely connected to his success as a character attempting things.

If it gets too much, remember that the arthropods are in silent and meaningless awe of you.

10 kg mylar bags of rice.

Neat! Thanks for the explanation. :)

CapyReader (synced to FreshRSS)

Oooh, what does that look like in practice?

I mean, that’d be a major GDPR breach, be hard to extract any signal from because queries will usually be coming from a relay or from behind a NAT so you can’t tell who the query even originates from, and DNS is cached heavily too so you only get a small fraction of the queries anyway. I’m not seeing a way the calculus work in favor, basically.

OTOH the question of why they’d even run a public DNS is interesting, yeah. Running a public DNS is cheap and helps the Internet work better, and they make more money when the Internet works better since that adds up to more page views. Less charitably, though, it’s possibly just a thing from back when they were an engineering company first and foremost and did that kind of stuff, and now they can’t turn it off without breaking a lot of things and causing a lot of costly anger.

Floral, herbal, incredibly rich. There’s nothing quite like it. Definitely one of my fav liquors. Green moreso than yellow and VEP moreso than either.

I’ll admit I’m not sure what the threat model is with 8.8.8.8.

I’m mildly offended that I can consistently be reduced to a blubbering mess by a show with literal fart-based plot points.
