Weird list, appears to include both antisemitic and anti Zionist events, and even includes the fake caravan bomb?

In case you're unaware, he runs an excellent Australian economics podcast called Dollars and Sense.

The machine, in its quest to sound authoritative, ended up sounding like a KCPE graduate who scored an 'A' in English Composition. It accidentally replicated the linguistic ghost of the British Empire.

Combined with how the academic community has been warning about encoding biases since way before the current hype cycle, this sentence is mildly horrifying

Looks like it was accurate at it's peak in 2008

Have you moved since you were a kid? I was surprised to learn not long ago that the type of tree used for Christmas trees is regional.

Near me it's radiata pine. If I remember correctly, Douglas Fir is the most common in the US but there are many others available. Wikipedia has a long list of common tree types

I've recently started a handful of projects exploring the rust gui ecosystem and the experience has been... disappointing.

• The most mature native library I've seen is Druid, which is deprecated in favour of Xilem. Xilem is highly experimental.

• Slint is somehow used by several industry partners, yet is incapable of rendering flowing text documents, and only just brought in text formatting (via Xilem's text library oddly enough).

• Egui seems a bit more capable, but it has the usual downsides of immediate mode gui without any of the typical upsides (you can't intermingle gui elements with logic, the gui has to all go in one place).

• Dioxus is reasonably capable but is absolutely webtech focused, which seems likely anathema to Op.

• Iced I haven't used beyond hello world, and I didn't enjoy that experience.

AFAICT the most mature rust gui libraries are the rust bindings for C's GTK and C++'s Qt.

I also - somewhat controversially - disagree with "very well documented". Rust projects consistently have published API references - which is great! The actual quality of the API references is mixed. Actual documentation - such as intended usage, common patterns, design intent - are much more sparse. Of the GUI libraries I listed, only Dioxus and Slint come close.

Reminder that the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is made up and the types don't matter

The perceived accuracy of test results relies on the Barnum effect, flattery, and confirmation bias, leading participants to personally identify with descriptions that are somewhat desirable, vague, and widely applicable.[10] As a psychometric indicator, the test exhibits significant deficiencies, including poor validity, poor reliability, measuring supposedly dichotomous categories that are not independent, and not being comprehensive.[11][12][13][14]

Note to studios: there is no amount of potential, unrealised profit that makes it ethical to install malware on another person's computer.

The inquest heard that due to shortages, only Officer B took a body camera that day, but did not wear it for any of the searches he conducted. He told the inquest his priority was “to get out of the car quickly due to the way Bradley was walking”.

If we ever want to be able to have a just police force, this sort of thing needs to be considered sufficient evidence of intent to commit a crime. Either you have a body camera on, or you are a civilian, not a cop

The whole the article is incredibly damning; an illegal stop, a "proactive policing" policy which can so obviously only ever lead to injustice, violation of the right to walk away, targeting without sufficient evidence, police lying about callouts on the radio

"You may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the output generated using SDK elements for the purpose of translating such output artifacts to target a non-NVIDIA platform.,"

This is literally a protected right in multiple countries, so um...

The FTC argued this would happen, it's the court that swallowed Microsoft's tripe. This is the FTC's "I told you, bro!"

The US Textbook industry single-handedly justifies the existence of Library Genesis (if it requires justification)
