Not gonna work on Firefox, since according to the doc, Error.prepareStackTrace is an optional API and only implemented by V8.

So many companies send emails with multiple different address. For example, Citibank could send from [email protected] or [email protected]. Bank of America can be [email protected] or [email protected]. If the "Citibank inbox" just takes the first address that Citi happens to use and auto rejects all future others, user will lose critical emails without even knowing. There is no way either user or the app could guarantee an entity will ever only use one address for legitimate reason.

I don't know the details on how Flock is internally designed, but I suppose AI is at least involved in the image recognition and correlation, at least to this scale. I also don't know exactly why Flock misidentifies Issacs' car in this case, because I don't find it in the article or the interview, but I assume it is due to a mislabeling of the plate number or the car damage imagery, which is related to AI. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not saying the police has no fault. Using AI assist without secondary verification is never good idea, at least not in 2026. But you can't argue Flock the technology itself, and especially Flock the company, are totally innocent, just like you can't say the "guns are just tools like hammer, it only depends on who uses them", and the gun industry.

But Flock gives police overconfidence to commit actions instead of having due diligence. It is like the best student in your classroom tells you 2 + 2 = 5, and you naturally feel compelled to believe him, even there is clear evidence against the claim.

This is also comparable to self-driving car: Waymo's system has achieve the level of "less error than human on average" long time ago, but they are still only doing slow expansion. Why? Because when AI is involved, human naturally expect them to be almost 100% correct, not just barely better than human, otherwise why bother use AI (and all the troubles to legalize for AI) in the first place? So in this case, I guess the police just blindly trust the AI being 99.99% correct.

I just tested. 7-Zip is already doing exactly what the author's recovery tool does: if I delete the metadata at the end of the file, it still can open and extract files, while complaining about the harmless "Unexepcet end of data". Further, even if I delete the actual content of the last file, it still can show the directory structure, it just can't extract data of the last file.

But how to you quantify the effect of the exposure? How do you know a particular sale is converted through some impressions you put on Facebook six months ago, and not from a highway billboard one week earlier? If you can't accurate quantify the effect of each ad campaign with their conversion rate, you have no reason to put more funds into this particular Facebook campaign. So naturally it falls on Facebook to prove to you that their ad socket is actually generating conversion, by not showing the ads to people who is least likely to click through ads when shown.

1) If it really was a bomb and went off, the pilot wouldn't be there to explain to the press anyway.

2) How likely would a bomb's name really be "BOMB" vs anything else? If the latter is any higher, wouldn't it be reasonable to always turn around whenever the any other name shows up? In that case, all Bluetooth devices should be strictly banned in the cabin. But TSA is not doing that (not yet).

I believe most of the time this phrase is said to an inexperienced artisan who has no idea how the current system works, what's the shortcoming of it, and how to improve upon it. Think of an undergraduate student who tries to solve the Goldbach conjecture. Usually what ended up is either he fails to reinvent the wheel, or reinvent the exact same wheel, which has no value. The phrase certainly does not apply to professionals.

Why can't Cargo have a system like PyPI where library author uploads compiled binary (even with their specific flags) for each rust version/platform combination, and if said binary is missing for certain combination, fallback to local compile? Imagine `cargo publish` handle the compile+upload task, and crates.io be changed to also host binaries.

Maybe I'm dumb, but I can't see how the code in the "Errors and map" section can compile. "transform_list" returns a Result<>, yet "result" is just a Vec. I thought you always need to wrap it with Ok()? Is that a new nightly feature?

But Edition can exist only because Rust intrinsically has the concept of package, which naturally defines the boundary. C++ has nothing. How do you denote a.cpp be of cpp_2017 edition which b.cpp be cpp_2026? Some per-file comment line at top of each file?

C++ is a mess in that it has too much historic baggage while trying to adapt to a fiercely changing landscape. Like the article says, it has to make drastic changes to keep up, but such changes will probably kill 80% of its target audiences. I think putting C++ in maintenance mode and keep it as a "legacy" language is the way to go. It is time to either switch to Rust, or pick one of its successor languages and put effort into it.

I don't understand the strategy from the election spammer here. They clearly want the recipient to vote/donate. But if someone spends time to type "STOP" instead of ignoring, he has clearly read the message and not interested in the solicitation. Then why spam this particular number? The more flood the more he hates you, the less he's gonna to anything positive to you. It is a extremely low quality "live number" for the campaign, and waste of money.
