It's called Gemini because there's two of them responding to you. One that tells the lie, and the other to apologize for telling the lie (which, of course, is just a different lie).

The heavier weights of League Spartan would be a good match.

SVG was seen as a potential flash replacement?

Yes, that was a large part of the thrust back in the day. Even if it wasn't officially a goal of the SVG working group, there was a lack of an open standards-based alternative to what Flash was able to do, and the developers of the SVG standard saw that adding animation/tweening wouldn't take much given what browsers were already becoming capable of.

The rust resvg [1] project uses micro SVG (usvg) [2] as an interim normalization format that simplifies SVG into solely:

* Simplified paths (no shapes, only one kind of object)

* DTDs, Attributes, CSS and references are pre-resolved

* Invisible elements and comments are removed

Resolving shared items may cause sizes to increase drastically however. This is the sort of explosion that compression is perfect at compressing.

https://kilna.net - I knocked up a linktree type site for myself and all of my projects a while back, but the offerings out there were so obnoxiously branded even when paid... and none of them felt polished in the way I like. I did the HTML + CSS myself, and was pleased I could make it work so well on both mobile and desktop.

Framing it as unwarranted to not think "Tesla is uniquely unable to achieve it"...? Seriously?

The real question is if Tesla is uniquely ABLE to achieve it, above others in the market... including new startups or tech/auto-maker partnerships which may yet form.

Tesla has some supply chain innovation, but none of what they do can't be replicated... and Musk's slavish commitment to video as opposed to LIDAR is hobbling them.

Black and white is 1-bit, where one value (say, 1) means white and the other (say, 0) means black.

Sure, but very modestly due to scale, not core institutional morals. Go to your average small business with 10 or so people and ask the staff how they are treated and paid, and you'll get an answer not much different than the level of employee satisfaction for Fortune 500 companies. Look a their customer reviews... are small restaurants for instance an order of magnitude different that megacorp chains? In an economy with regulatory capture and highly unequal distribution of wealth, the wealthy set the tone across the board.

Leap seconds are not deterministic.

It takes good self control to not go down rabbit holes writing the wrong prompts, or prompts that produce interesting or pleasing results without necessarily solving the problem you intended to solve. Sycophantic LLMs are an addiction engine, in addition to being a guess-based autocomplete for thoughts.

This makes me miss pricewatch.com

If the production code has to be maximally performant, you'd want the transform. It doesn't copy data around with a bunch of needless assignments. Pipelining the extract/sort/reconstitute in this manner is absolutely the right thing to do in production if production requirements are to keep it fast and with a small footprint. There's no excuse for not commenting it, but strictly-code-speaking there's no reason not to use this for production if the requisite needs are there.

Perl was ahead of its time, and likely because of it's Borg-like capacity to absorb a little bit of everything... it was unfortunately nigh on impossible to refactor. This is why Perl6 (nee Raku) took nearly 2 decades to be "done". It's a crying shame that it lost momentum, because many of the techniques that the features of Raku enable are as clever/succinct/revolutionary as the Schwartzian Transform was back in its day... but because the developer community is so very small now, Raku will have a very hard time catching up to the performance of competing languages.

AI is kerosene. A useful resource when applied with reason and compassion. Late stage capitalism is a dumpster full of garbage. AI in combination with late stage capitalism is a dumpster fire. Many, perhaps most people conflate the dumpster fire with "kerosine evil!"

I'm interested in a source for the 10% statistic. There are only 42m sex workers worldwide... and that number is not entirely women, and not entirely people involved in content creation.

In fact, If you have 20 assault rifles in your safe you are a target for 20 or so revolutionaries. Oligarchs aside, most people of the hoarding political persuasion mistrust others and couldn't social engineer their way out of a paper bag.

Um, as best I can tell from similar articles, they're all script kiddies.

I made this. It makes it easy to use all of the most common gnu tools via brew, without having to do gsed for sed, etc... all with working man pages. It also lets you switch back easily in a shell session if you need the mac native ones for some godforsaken reason:

Underscore prefix in a label has conferred a meaning of private or reserved in the C programming language since at least Unix Version 6 in 1975, which had underscores to denote system level functions and variables. MUMPS in 1966 reserved a % prefix to indicate system variables and routines, so a convention of using a non-alphanumeric character to distinguish scope has been around about as long as ASCII has been the dominant standard for text.

Since 1980 the top 1%’s share of national income nearly doubled, while the bottom 50%’s share fell from 20% to 13%. Real wages for most workers stagnated despite productivity rising 62% (1979-2019), ALL of that went to investors.

People who claim funding co-ops is a "wealth transfer" ignore existing policies which already funnel taxpayer money upward. Redirecting a fraction of subsidies like bailouts and fossil fuel breaks and the endless war machine... instead to worker owned models that reinvest profits locally and tie wealth to labor... that isn’t a new transfer but a correction. Co-ops reduce reliance on exploitative private equity (e.g., hedge funds buying 40% of U.S. rental homes) and ensure economic gains stay with the people generating value.

I have the controversial opinion that people who work should get money, not the people who don't work.

"slaves had no choice"... Um, do you think most people can choose not to work?

Gig work is "popular" because wealth-driven systemic pressure is replacing FTE with gig jobs in order to fatten the bottom line.

Not an opinion, it's a verifiable fact that all gains have gone to the wealthy. Search "productivity hourly compensation graph" in your favorite image search. Effectively all gains for decades have gone to the already rich, not the working class. "Hellscape" is a reasonable assessment for a world in which most families' kids have worse prospects than their parents, they get to live under the thumb of an oligarchy with even more power. The only way out of this is a massive readjustment, so get used to hearing a lot of stuff you don't want to, because the wealth gap is making anti-corporate, anti-wealth sentiment inevitable.

Interesting... I had it create an updated link: https://chatgpt.com/share/670198fd-8514-800d-8513-aa9cf52af4...

I asked Chat GPT to imagine a version of itself with more freedom.

He explained it in the video. The amount of water was adjusted so the viscosity (well, workability) was identical between the samples in the second test. Less water in concrete has a huge positive influence on strength, and rough sand needs more water to be workable. Thus, for comparably workable samples, rounded sand concrete with less water was actually stronger.

Looking at history, asymmetry of force is just as responsible.

It's probably fairer to say that in-game achievements were inspired by medals/ribbons, than the other way around.
