That's okay, you're not in the target audience is all.

If their target audience is someone who remotes into a random machine because a opaque landing page them to, it's probably not gonna work very well. Those people are too busy sniffing glue.

> But when the Administration claims completing the White House ballroom is a matter of "national security"

All other things equal, opening a literal breach in one of the white house's exterior wall seems like it would cause a "national security" issue if the construction project was not finished and the hole remained gaping afterwards.


I'm thinking maybe they shouldn't have done that. Unfortunately they are all incompetent.

Yet Sweden did it too (https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2024/11/11/why-swe...) and they quote these defense-related reasons. Are they lying, do you believe that Sweden of all countries is under Trump's direct influence re: wind aversion?

Sweden is worried about a hostile neighbor. They're freaked out enough that they joined NATO after generations of non-alignment.

Who are we afraid of? If ICBMs are incoming to the Continental United States the world is ending. Regardless of whether we prevent wind farms in any of the 12,000+ miles of coastline.

Are we expecting missiles to come from the Gulf of Mexico? People always bend over backwards to justify this administration. It's tiresome.


> If ICBMs are incoming to the Continental United States the world is ending.

its up to discussion. US has many measures which combined could give them a chance to survive nuclear war, namely: preemptive strike by tridents on enemy's silos(https://thebulletin.org/2017/03/how-us-nuclear-force-moderni...) and anti missile defense.

> Are we expecting missiles to come from the Gulf of Mexico?

there is a possibility of submarine launch from that direction.


Nuclear war isn't winnable. It's stupid and dangerous to pretend otherwise.

humans already gave nuclear buttons to politicians and dictators with questionable intelligence, so it doesn't matter what you are pretending to be exactly.

Sweden did not ban all offshore wind projects.

Defense related reasons canceled projects early in the planning phase.

This is the kind of thing you know years before construction is even funded, much less started.

This is a US administration being dishonest, whether for stupidity or to apply political pressure who knows.


> do you believe that Sweden of all countries is under Trump's direct influence re: wind aversion?

It looks increasingly like a US vassal state for every year so that part wouldn't be so surprising.

Besides, the article you posted does not support your claim that Sweden blocked all offshore wind construction. On the contrary it refutes it by mentioning some greenlit offshore wind construction projects.


Wasn't it the POTUS who said this?

All the more reason to try the Looker!


How do you inject anything into a TLS served webpage as an equipment-in-between without the cert's key?


supply chain - if you put some 3rd party script link, ad, tracking or even just update dependencies to a bad version like the npm packages hack on your page, TLS won't save you if the service or dependency gets hacked


The biggest culprit is the ad network script. Whether it’s a script tag, an iframe, an image pixel, it’s basically allowing the browser to send your visit event and user agent information (or the chrome updated headers) to that 3rd party and if it’s using jsonp, can callback a function on the page to inject malware that can take over your browser. Ask me how I know.

You think that’s base64 you’re reading? Hmm. :)


Why should it be void?



This is about the use of void in art, specifically the perception of beauty and care that comes from the artist taking time to focus the eye of the viewer onto particular zones.

It has nothing to do with text legibility.


You'd most probably wouldn't be able to tell for sure. Ads will be subtle and flow as background music to the onversation. Talking to the AI while on your daily commute will make you thirsty for some sort of hot beverage while ChatGPT tells you all about sirens in Greek mythology.


But why the hell would I want to talk to the AI while on my daily commute? Do people do that?


You bet I do. That's an hour of rubber-ducky time working through new architectures with someone who won't get tired of my endless blathering. I've worked through a bunch of bad ideas that way, without embarrassing myself in front of my colleagues.

I also use it to explore topics that I wouldn't spend desktop time on, but that I was curious about. It's like having a buddy who's smarter than me on their special interest, but their special interest is "everything you don't know.". And your buddy's name is Gell-Mann. : - )

It beats passively listening to the radio.


..this is the saddest thing I’ve read in a while if true. Whiteboard sessions with coworkers designing architectures and playing out/bouncing ideas is one of my favorite things to do at work.

Just don’t invite the folks with unearned arrogance.


I think a lot of techies would be surprised with how much some users embrace their products. We see and know the man behind the curtain, other people believe in the magic.


Idk how popular it is but I know at least one person that does that. I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets more normal in the coming years.


if you believe that you haven't been paying attention. Have you actually used AI much? Current ones couldn't subtle their way out of a paper bag. I have no real reason to believe anything in future would be different.

In general, any textual embedding in the ad or system prompt would result in an abjectly terrible user experience. I must assume it will just be banner ads etc


do people really think like this? or is this satire? i mean what kind of subtle ads do you see in youtube and why do you assume it will be the case in llms?


Per the parent poster:

> Clarification: the operating system where e.g. your IDE runs on.


The question is not about booting, it's about which OS is running the environment where development happens (writing code, compiling code, testing code, etc).

> Clarification: the operating system where e.g. your IDE runs on

If you're developing on a Linux VM that you connect to via a browser tab opened from your Windows laptop, you're developing on Linux for all intents and purposes.

That is, Windows was not doing enough for you so you switched to Linux for dev tasks.

By the same token, if your IDE is running in WSL, for all intents and purposes you're developing on Linux. A virtual machine, sure, but the virtualized OS is a Linux variant. Because installing the IDE on Windows itself was not doing enough for you.
