You would expect that from the author of The Dispossessed. She’s an anarchist (Paul Goodman leaning) through and through. She also wrote the preface to Murray Bookchin’s The Next Revolution.

So an average furry?

There are USB-C headphones.

Black Panther the movie actually borrowed some art elements from Afrofuturism. Although it’s not very pronounced.

Bingo!

The paper only says it’s a collaboration. It’s pretty large scale, so the opportunity might be rare. There’s a chance that (the same or other) researchers will follow up and experiment in more schools.

The interviews revealed that data scientists sometimes get distracted by the latest developments in AI and implement them in their projects without looking at the value that it will deliver.

At least part of this is due to resume-oriented development.

Sorry I wasn’t being clear. AC is used for connecting within areas of densely populated cities, e.g. British National Grid. If we are talking about really long distances (> hundreds of kilometers), HVDC is indeed preferred.

I was talking about a trend of some factories replacing AC from power grids (possibility generated in nearby cities) with DC from solar panels on their rooftops. So it’s a long distance compared to that.

Power grids would mean long distance power transmission, so AC has an advantage. If the point of consumption is near the point of PV generation, DC can and is already being used.

I know factories with solar panels on their rooftops to cut down power bills and instead of converting to high voltage AC, a custom-built DC power system is used.

So you’re working at E-corp and they want to sign you up for the F-society?

I took the middle road: use cable zip ties to bundle them and put all in a bag. Since finding a cable is infrequent, you don’t need to optimize for that case.

I saw a streamer playing the demo and was looking forward to it. That being said, it’s too recent a game for a patient gamer like me! (Not really. I do buy new games :)

Not from Taiwan, but the way it works is that there’s a unique ID on each of the receipts. The ID is there anyways, so no additional things to be done at this point. What’s different is that a lucky ID is announced e.g. every month, and the person with the receipt can collect a small amount of money.

From my understanding, MV3 kills vital features of ad-blockers in that

1. Some filtering rules do rely on the ability to read the content of the webpage, which can’t be migrated, per the FAQ linked in the article
2. The declarative API means an update to the rules requires an update to the plugin itself, which might get delayed by the reviewing process, causing the blocker to lag behind the tracker. It might not be able to recover as quickly as uBO in the recent YouTube catch-up round.

Wikimedia Foundation (the org behind the Wikipedia and similar projects) does get more donations than their operational cost, but that’s expected. The idea is that they’ll invest the extra fund^[1] and some day the return alone will be able to sustain Wikipedia forever.

Although, some have criticized that the actual situation is not clearly conveyed in their asking for donation message. It gives people an impression that Wikipedia is going under if you don’t donate.

Others also criticized that the feature development is slow compared to the funding, or that not enough portion is allocated to the feature development. See how many years it takes to get dark mode! I don’t know how it’s decided or what’s their target, so I can’t really comment on this.

They publish their annual financial auditions^[2] and you can have a read if you’re interested. There are some interesting things. For example, in 2022-2023, processing donations actually costs twice as much as internet hosting, which one would expect to be the major expense.

Conceptually yes, but you can achieve better efficiency by putting multiple adders together with e.g. a Wallace tree.

There are more efficient ways to expand adders than simply chaining them as well.

The link to the study is just a “Paid Search Ad” page. Ouch for the professionalism of Forbes.

Well, that already happened for Reagan and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Philip K. Dick’s early novella The Gun describes this, but instead of chat bots, they were auto nuclear weapons.
