The default behavior for the automated "add everything existing to the allowlist" is to include the specific version: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/using-npm/config#allow-script...

Together with a lockfile that does achieve "package xyz postinstall allowed with hash <1234>"

> "...we made the difficult decision to restructure Webflow’s team and operating model. As a result, many of our Webflow teammates are leaving the company today."

Leaving implies agency. You've fired these people. Using a euphemism that implies they had a choice in this matter is disingenuous and not "owning this decision"

tl;dr: autovacuum was seen to be active during an earlier incident, assumed to be at fault, and was disabled. It was never re-enabled. The long-term implications of disabling autovacuum were not actively considered.

"Workplace violence restraining orders" in California appear to be a type of restraining order that can be filed by an employer on behalf of an employee, to protect said employee from a third party

> We've been including product tips in PRs created by Copilot coding agent

If the PR is wholly authored by Copilot I get the spirit of this, although maybe not the best implementation. And "tips" like this that look like an ad for a product _definitely_ feel like an enshittification betrayal of the user, even if it was a genuine recommendation and not a paid advertisement.

In the OP's situation, where where Copilot was summoned to fix some thing within a human-authored PR, irrelevant modification of the PR description to insert unrelated content is specifically egregious. Copilot can easily include the tip in its own comment, so I'm curious why it was decided to edit the description of a PR instead.

It's unnecessarily splitting hairs.

> interaction data—specifically inputs, outputs, code snippets, and associated context [...] will be used to train and improve our AI models

So using Copilot in a private repo, where lots of that repo will be used as context for Copilot, means GitHub will be using your private repo as training data when they were not before.

Nope, it's pretty compact. The first image in CERN's photo gallery shows it being loaded into that truck: https://cds.cern.ch/record/2957407?ln=en

Of course, it's compact because it only has to last so long. CERN's press release discusses needing a generator and a cryocooler in the truck for longer trips: https://home.cern/news/press-release/experiments/base-experi...

This older article about the test they did with ordinary protons, indicates the outer frame measures "2.00 meters in length, 0.87 meters in width, and 1.85 meters in height" and comes in under 1000kg https://ep-news.web.cern.ch/content/cerns-base-step-leap-for...

An ASIC is custom silicon, no?

Anyways, I found this article discussing it a bit more: https://www.eetimes.com/taalas-specializes-to-extremes-for-e...

"Taalas is borrowing some ideas from the structured ASICs of the early 2000s to make its hardwired model-specific chips. Structured ASICs used gate arrays and hardened IP blocks, changing only the interconnect layers to adapt the chip to a specific workload. At the time, this was seen as a more cost-effective alternative to a full-custom ASIC that was more performant than an FPGA."

"Taalas changes only two masks to customize a chip for a specific model, but the two masks can change both model weights and dataflow through the chip. On the HC1, the model and its weights are stored on the chip using a mask-ROM-based recall fabric paired with a (programmable) SRAM, which can be used to hold fine-tuned weights and/or the KV cache. Future generations of chips may split the SRAM onto a separate chip, meaning they could be denser than the HC1."

For a sense of how crazy 30 detections per day is: Super-K is a cylinder 41.4m tall and 39.3m in diameter [1] and neutrino flux on Earth is 65 billion per square centimeter per second [2]

The tank's cross sectional area relative to the sun depends on its relative orientation to the sun. We'll ballpark it at somewhere between its circular endcaps (Pi x ((39.3/2)^2) = 1213 square meters) and its curved cylindrical face (which, pointed right at the sun, has a rectangular cross section of 41.4 x 39.3 = 1627 square meters).

So, conservatively, the neutrino flux through Super-K's tank is 1400 m^2 x (100cm/m)^2 x 6.5e10 neutrino/second/(cm^2) x 86400 seconds/day = 7.86e22 neutrinos/day passing through the tank. Of which 30 are detected.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super-Kamiokande

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrino (end of intro section, just before History). Wikipedia says only that the "majority" of the 65 billion flux is from the sun, so we might be off by a factor of two-ish in the worst case.

I've done the same thing - making a USB-only printer available on my LAN - following this guide: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-print-server/

One nice thing is I can print to the CUPS server even if the printer is off

Every time I've looked into doing a DIY NAS in the last few years Topton seems to come up - as far as I can tell it's because they make MiniITX boards with a boatload of SATA ports.

> I doubt Apple could demonstrably prove damages before the civil statute of limitations expires.

Statute of Limitations is about how long you have to file the case, by no means is it a deadline by which you must fully prove damages and have no opportunity to continue your case after it passes.

Apparently from a F@H blog post [1] they say it's still useful to know the dynamics of how it folded, in addition to the final folded shape. And that having ML-folded proteins is a rich target for simulation to validate and to understand how the protein works
