Don’t copy that floppy!

Alphabet shares record? That’s nice, I wonder if its 45 or 78RPM.

The degree to which share price discovery is fundamentally rooted in optimistic speculation, as opposed to any actual evidence… at some point talking about “value” becomes a little weird. “Overvalued by 15%” reads like a chemist doing a titration.

People were more interested in selling than buying yesterday.

Opposition is the easiest fucking job in the world

Similar story, but a dude did slip on it, and like a cartoon his legs shot out from under him someone becoming momentarily horizontal in the air.

We were STUNNED.

I think you completely missed the point. They’re not saying genz should be the adults in the room.

They’re surprised that a generation who never drew breath without the internet came of age without the wisdom they hypothesized such a life would avail.

You gotta understand: earlier generations couldn’t trivially verify things. Anyone they ever interacted with were the people like… On their street. Diversity of thought was informed by limited contact. The internet, at one point, appeared to promise a radical solution to both. The optimism for the future, as a result, was essentially unbounded.

It’s not fair to ask gen z to save anyone. I don’t think its what buddy was saying, but if it was, it was unfair.

I think buddy was coming to the very late realization that the optimism of the transformative nature of the internet was misplaced. The hypothesis just didn’t pan out. You can give a human for their entire lives the ability to get the answer to any question, verify anything they’re told, and meet and talk to people with diverse viewpoints that may challenge what they’re exposed to based on proximity…

… And ultimately they’re just about as dumb as anyone else.

And I get the impression that, more than anything else, is what makes them sad.

Considering the deadline was 2021, I’m not sure I’d characterize this as a recent change of heart.

Do you have any source for this? I’m having a tough time finding anything supporting your claim that Sweden has changed their position on this since brexit came into effect.

I can easily find bombastic claims from pro-brexit talking heads unilaterally asserting that the EU will continue to extend every privilege in a post brexit world, but I suspect it’s possible they were not actually deriving those assurances from discussions with the governments which they claimed they were speaking on behalf of.

He was unaware, however, that Sweden was among 13 of the 27 EU member states that required Britons living in the country before Brexit to make a formal application to remain. Other countries, such as Spain, did not opt for that system and just required Britons to declare they were a resident.

Not sure who to believe here

That’s a good point, but I do think some would qualify as being logographic since you kinda DO have to know, like what 🍆 means.

But, that instance makes me realize it might be possible to infer meaning via context like with any other word in any other language: 👨👧🫦👅🍆💦

Which actually makes me think I’m not really comprehending the practical realities of Japanese

That sum up is OK, but I think it misses an asymmetry.

English: exists a ruleset one can learn to DERIVE a bidirectional mapping between a written word to a spoken word (English sucks so the mapping ruleset is far from perfect)

Japanese: ?

I like how the half of the board footprint is logic level shifters

You’re getting downvoted, but you’re right. This knife cuts both ways, and it far predates llms.

Any non trivial algorithm intended to rank is gameable.

This is the foundation of SEO. It’s how the Donald invaded reddit. It’s the fucking central pillar of modern propaganda dissemination.

They’re going to spend a ton of money to lock themselves into an ongoing arms race.

And if one is morality opposed to this type of pricing practice, I think one becomes morality obligated to do exactly what you described.

And honestly, I think you don’t even have to come out ahead for it to be worth it. If your LLM assessed price would be 1000, spending a full $200 on compute to game and $800 ticket is a wash. You SHOULD spend $300 to get an $800 ticket if that’s where the floor is. Because fuck em.

It’s all relative.

My 2 year old was sitting on the toilet and was like “sometimes, you just have to let the poop out”.

Hell yeah.

I understand what is happening.

I think that breaking a constant evaluated value into an expression that is still a constant comprised entirely of literals is bad.

Extract the constants (100 and 1) to NAMED constants if you wanna do this.

Edit: You also mentioned it might just be a side effect of a minifier. Maybe it is. I’ve got tons of grace if that’s the case, since the dev has little if any control. Be like if I was roasting someone for what a compiler did.

You’re obviously the js expert, so I’ll defer to you on expected minifier behavior, but there are 3 specific reasons that id be surprised (based on what I think a minifier should do)

• there is a defined variable that already exists “random”, i would any minifier worth it’s salt to make the variable name smaller

• since the expression (100 + 1 - 1) is a constant expression, I similarly would expect a minifier to reduce constant expressions to thier evaluated value (especially if the evaluated value is fewer characters than the expression) aka, just collapse to “100”

• there is still a ton of extraneous whitespace

(100 - 1 + 1) ??

How do you know the stage at the developer conference is level? The js speaker is drooling out of both sides of his mouth.

The crux of those scenarios you outlined doesn’t hinge on weather or not data is property. Their arguments are that it isn’t YOUR property.

Artist is reminding us all that (despite everything) within every small rock there is a pebble.

Really does make a bold political statement.

This is where I’m really fuzzy on the mechanics.

Any authentication is to establish an identity. At what point does that involve getting a unique id associated with an OS installation instance?

My original question is how the hardware id and ngrok get associated at all.

So, after getting frustrated and just going to sign up for an account myself, it looks like ngrok has options to sign is as a Google account, or sign in as a github account.

I’m guessing they picked github, and that’s why Microsoft had any visibility at all on the fact that they accessed a site that isn’t owned by Microsoft.

It still doesn’t answer the question of how the browser knows this id which is set at the os level. It still begs the question of what github authentication looks like differently between operating systems. Obviously a osx or Linux machine wouldn’t have that id at all. Is it part of the initial authentication request? Is there some kind of challenge and response?

This seems the most likely… but still I want clarity on the mechanism. An identifying token defined in the registry is being sent over the wire. That mechanic is pretty substantial, and I’m surprised a bigger fuss hasn’t been made about that. This is pretty far beyond conventional header fingerprinting.
