It's already self-hostable witha single-client connection ability, and there's ongoing work to make the Fluxer site and all of the self-hosted servers able to federate (with a prototype planned for the end of the year)

Fluxer has special "forum" areas that are meant to be searchable on the global web, and discussions in chat channels are private. Which is a much better approach for that issue than Discord "make every message from public servers searchable" imo.

The issue is that we only observe one dimension of time and three dimensions of space. So allowing more than that would require a lot of evidence.

Postulating that there's multiple times dimensions is the same thing as postulating that there's more than three space dimensions in string theory. You make the maths "easier" by postulating that there's more dimensions, but you don't make any predictions that the 3+1 spacetime theory doesn't make and that can be observed experimentally.

It would result in fewer online games that stop working altogether when the publisher wants to stop it.

All the publisher would have to do is to create a "mini self-hosted server" application and provide it and they would follow the law on this.

It's really not that complicated. Not "free", of course, but it's not exactly expensive either if you plan to do that from the moment you write your first line of code.

The latter.

It's a tool, if using data is necessary to make the tool work, then its output derives from the data.

If the LLM generation is not derivative of its training data, then why would it need the training data in the first place?

It's because circles allow for a stagger and overlap as shown later on. It's not really possible to get the same effect from squares.

Basically, for this specific structure, they had to develop their own "sub structures" on the 1d line. These sub structures are known to create one little thing going diagonally (and then leave a bunch of debris behind, but that doesn't matter too much for that first step, they called this custom part "the fuse"). Then, there is a known technique where taking "diagonal moving objects" created on the same y-coordinate and placing them at the "right x position" makes the collide in a way where you can "program" where to create diagonal moving objects but at arbitrary positions on the screen (this is called a "binary construction arm"). And then, once you can create these anywhere on the screen, then you've basically won ; there's another technique to turn arbitrary positions into arbitrary shapes ("extreme compression construction arm", or ECCA), and it's "just" a matter of making the ECCA clean up all of the debris and build a new fuse but moved over.

Of course, the "just" here does the heavy lifting and represents over two years of exploration, writing algorithms for how to clean up everything, and so on.

Do look into jsdoc typing and "//@ts-check".

I do agree with you on the compilation, and this is the reason I'm still writing the occasional .js or .mjs file. However, the js I write starts with enabling ts-check and has all of its type information encoded as comment. This way, I'm getting the benefits of typescript while writing the code without needing the whole compilation step.

Context: This is for a 2019 data breach on a system that was created in 2012. The GDPR was instated in 2018 (has it really been that long? Wow feels like yesterday) and Meta failed to disclose the 2019 data breach properly under GDPR, hence the fine.

None of these are true for the MitM threat model that caused this whole investigation:

- If someone manages to MitM the communication between e.g. Digicert and the .com WHOIS server, then they can get a signed certificate from Digicert for the domain they want

- Whether you yourself used LE, Digicert or another provider doesn't have an impact, the attacker can still create such a certificate.

This is pretty worrying since as an end user you control none of these things.

The requirement to ID yourself online was already a thing in China, and using government-provided unique IDs for that isn't the worst way to go about it. The main issue would be mandatory reporting (i.e. if the companies have to constantly send data about what every given ID is doing on their website), but that's a different issue - and I don't feel like it's harder to do this using the phone numbers they already use compared to using a government GUID.

The main issue is that this would make obtaining access to Chinese websites even more difficult for people outside of China. It was kind of possible to go around the phone number restriction by obtaining a phone number, but going around the government ID is going to be significantly more difficult.

TS allows you to pass a read-only object to a method taking a read-write value:

    type A = { value: number; }
    function test(a: A) { a.value = 3; }
    function main() {
      const a: Readonly<A> = { value: 1 };
      // a.value = 2; <= this errors out
      test(a); // this doesn't error out
      console.log(a); // shows 3
    }

I really don't agree with that. Git is a powerful tool with very few actual downsides, and the unwillingness of some developers to spend an hour learning how it works hurts them in the long-term.

It's like sticking to the text editing feature of your IDE because you can't be bothered to learn how it works. Sure, you _technically_ can do that, but you're losing on everything that makes an IDE useful and probably losing actual days or weeks worth of work because of that.

Not quite that, we've known about galaxies outside our own (like the Magellanic clouds or the Andromeda galaxy) for a few millenia, and the main reason black holes haven't been discovered for a while because they're black and we needed a theory to know where to look. The current theory of cosmology has overall been pretty stable for a while.

What's interesting there isn't that much the object themselves which are bog-standard as far as celestial objects go, but how red-shifted (and therefore how far away/long ago) they are, which is something the model doesn't quite exclude but does warrant some tweakings of the "initial parameters" of the universe to make it work this way compared to what we expect.

Weird choice to talk about the placebo effect in this context. The placebo effect is definitely used in combination with chemical and biological effects when administering drugs (or, more accurately, it always automatically happens). It's just when trying to test the efficacy of drugs that you need to control for the placebo effect, otherwise the noise of the results would drown the signal of the biological/chemical impact.
