JD Vance confirmed to be in the next Minecraft.

Can you put out a contract on someone just by betting on polymarket that they won’t die by a particular date?

Yes, I think that a transparent upgrade that improves privacy is an obviously good thing.

And seriously, they should have left. The law allows the Swiss government to force proton to alter the code run on their servers to satisfy requests from foreign governments. That is ridiculous.

I explained both these things in the first post you responded to.

1. Using email protocols between proton accounts means they need more meta data which is then given up on a search warrant.
2. If they cared about privacy they wouldn’t be based out of Switzerland. They’d pick somewhere with more privacy rights.

Brother…its an email product though…if you can use Signal, use Signal.

The point is there is no requirement for emails sent between different proton accounts to be as insecure as they are.

This is something where there are known open source solutions that are just flat out better than what proton is using, and proton just can’t be bothered. You can’t fix the whole Internet, but proton just doesn’t care enough to fix itself.

There is no such requirement. They collect them necessarily in order to function.

By default proton doesn’t log IP addresses. They’re just not needed. But when ordered to they do.

Proton can do what it likes when it comes to messages being sent between different proton accounts. Use of meta data rich protocols like standard email, instead of, e.g., the signal protocol, is absolutely something they can be blamed for.

As is choosing operate from a jurisdiction that can comple them to collect IP addresses.

You know what’s even better? Proportional representation and an executive branch that answers directly to your elected parliament.

Ranked choice or STV just means you continue to vote against Republicans and hope for the second worst option of Democrats, but you can feel better about yourself because you put a left-wing party down as your first choice.

STV should only be used for figurehead positions with no real power.

The problem is diplomatic ramifications.

Parliament can always do what it wants, but if it’s unilaterally removing rights from another country they’re going to be pissed off.

It’s not gay unless the brain worms touch.

Their family probably came to Taiwan after the Japanese invasion.

Japan was notoriously brutal to the indigenous population, but most of the people in Taiwan came there in the civil war.

In fact, stamping out the indigenous culture has been an ongoing part of the post civil war Taiwanese government, and it’s only recently that the Taiwanese language has been allowed to be taught in schools.

What are the odds on Clarence Thomas being found doing some truly heinous things in the Epstein files, refusing to step down, and publishing an opinion that the founders really wanted Trump to become God-KKKing of the US?

The main differentiator of fish over everything else is it prioritizes intuitive behavior over backwards compatibility.

Zsh is to bash as c++ is to c. Most bash scripts and habits will work in zsh, but zsh is just more convenient and has more options. Fish is intentionally different.

Do I wish fish had existed instead of bash so we had a nicer terminal experience? On the whole, yes. But I also couldn’t be bothered to learn another shell where most of the instructions online won’t be able to help you, and I ended up sticking with zsh.

It’s also the font on the pop-ups, and the AI logo.

There’s a very generic style of Facebook cartoon that these things absolutely nail.

Bragging rights and improved sleeping ability from the knowledge that the devs are being supported.

The serious answer is it’s often easier for people in a company to buy a license key than it is for them to arrange a donation to the devs. So this is an easy way to make small donations.

Well it is trained to copy musk.

I guess it might work if HR don’t know how an LLM works. There’s not many that can edit a word file so it includes whited-out footnotes.

You’re better off getting a friend to lie for you. They can say they added it while helping you with formatting and you know nothing about it.

Genuinely, this already happens in large companies for related reasons.

The CV is on file, and if HR reprocess it for any reason e.g. relocation or change of role, it’s automatic dismissal for dishonestly if they catch a deliberate lie.

No but they can fire you later even if you’re good at the job.

Then you’re stuck in an even worse position with a big gap in your CV and no reference.

Unfortunately, this is seen as dishonestly and is grounds for immediate dismissal in a lot of places.

In practice it’s very systematic for small networks. You perform a search over a range of values until you find what works. We know the optimisation gets harder the deeper a network is so you probably won’t go over 3 hidden layers on tabular data (although if you really care about performance on tabular data you would use something that wasn’t a neural network).

But yes, fundamentally, it’s arbitrary. For each dataset a different architecture might work better, and no one has a good strategy for picking it.
