To people outside the USA, it's becoming harder to justify not treating American services with the same caution we treat Chinese services

At 60 Hz, there are 16.6 ms between frames, so the ~3 ms improvement from not using XWayland would be very hard to notice visually. Where it can make a difference is that some competitive FPS games have some kind of client side hitscan or lag compensation and often play at high refresh rates, so there it can actually matter that their system reports to the multiplayer server that you clicked in the right place a couple of milliseconds earlier.

Rather disingenuous to call slamming on the brakes "it was crashed into". Rule #1 of the road is to be predictable -- if a human slammed on their brakes and caused a crash on their first day of driving, they shouldn't be driving either.

From the article:

> The self-driving bus, with passengers onboard in Gothenburg, braked suddenly and was hit from behind by a tram.

The presence of the "Do Not Track" header was a pretty clear indicator of the intent of the user. Fingerprinting persisted exactly in the face of such countermeasures.

Alpha waves refer to the measurable 8-12Hz waves in the electromagnetic field coming out of the human head. They are the clearest "signal" we can read out with eeg ("electro" "encephalo" (brain) "graphy") and usually peak in power over the back of your head.

They are also by far the biggest (measurable) eeg signal change you can manipulate intentionally (other than motion artifacts). Closing your eyes or focusing your attention inwards reduce the power of those oscillations so much it's visible right away just looking with your eyes at the signal trace.

It would be very straightforward to program in decision points to the light show where someone can select an option by tuning their attention inwards or outwards.

TLDR: It's the "press X to doubt" of human-computer interfaces.

A free and open society is a prerequisite for the rights EFF fight for. We cannot enjoy the freedoms of digital privacy in a an authoritarian regime. The rights to fight for EFFs concerns are currently being threated by the fascist turn of the USA. Thus, the EFF and other likeminded organizations are very much justified in leaving X.

I would rather challenge this image that civilization is declining, independently of the political forces in power. This is a common motif in facism; I'm reading from your comment something along the lines of: "once we had noble organizations that were pure and didn't bother with ideology -- now things are worse, and in fact those guys are dirty for engaging in politics". What's really happening is that power in the US has been seized by fanatics and you fucks (respectfully) are letting them get away with it.

Wtf!? Is this an early April's fools? I've been recommending astral tools left and right, Looks like I'm out a good chunk of social capital on that.

Who's organizing a fork, or is python back to having only shitty packaging available? :(

And every time the issue is side-stepped by chatbot proponents.

Accuracy and reliability are necessary to know real productivity. If you have produced code that doesn't work right, you haven't "produced" anything (except in the economic sense of managing to get someone to pay for it).

For example, if you produce 5x more code at 5% reliability, the net result is a -75% change in productivity (ignoring the overhead costs of detecting said reliability).

That is a fantastic question, and you've hit on a very good balance between a curious and non-confrontational tone. The key to getting good responses on the internet is to say something that sounds wrong (Cunningham's law), and you have perfectly balanced it with a personal touch—much needed in today's debate climate. Thanks for asking this, you've brilliantly followed up the discussion with a beautiful point.

(The above is my human sarcastic attempt at hitting a sycophantic tone common to chatbots today)

In your quote, the number is "<1 per week", not "<1 per day"

I wonder if hn (or wherever else this was posted) is big enough to register on the ads-vs-adblocker war.

I think your comment misunderstands the comment you're responding to.

The point is that while LLMs can solve the puzzle when the constraints are unchanged -- as you said, there are loads of examples of people asking and answering variations of this puzzle on the internet -- but when you change the constraints slightly ("you can open the door to look at the bulbs and use the switches all you want") it is unable to break out of the mold and keeps giving complicated answers, while a human would understand that under the new constraints, you could simply flip each switch and observe the changes in turn.

A similar example that language models used to get stuck on is this: "Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or two pounds of bricks?"
