Haha, yeah I didn't realize there would be a monkey patch route to FFI in Elm. Can't control the runtime. Is there a good read up on this technique?

> The whole point of HTML's design is that it's incredibly easy for a human to write correctly.

A lot of people (me included) used text editors to write HTML. The process was not easy, and the results mostly not correct.

HTML at the time was intended as an application of SGML. This is the first example of HTML from RFC 1866 that laid out HTML 2.0 in 1995:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
    <title>Parsing Example</title>
    <p>Some text. <em>&#42;wow&#42;</em></p>
Using an HTML editor was required if you wanted to get anywhere near that standard.

Yes that's where the word comes from. I was describing how the word was used here. You quibble with established usage. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/analogue#h1

Analogue means having the same function. It does not say which came first.

I was lucky my pharmacist didn't listen to my doctor when I showed up with a prescription for a misdiagnosed disease. Would have delayed getting effective treatment for a life threatening disease. If I'd read forums I could've spotted it too. Don't just listen to your doctor.

> ... which has adversely affected public health or safety.

Why would they tack that on at the end of a very long sentence? Because they don't want to talk about the loss of USS Scorpion. They mention the sub once on the whole page and even misspell it as "Scorpian". Would not trust them as a source.

I'm under the assumption that Starlink will never provide more than one percent of the mobile bandwidth in a developed country. Because they can't match dense antenna webs in cities. Am I wrong?

From my reading the German court's ruling is that Google are responsible both for claims they made up and claims they rephrase from somewhere else. Because the claims appear as a statement of fact made by Google. If they showed it as "User X on site Y claims Z" they would not be held responsible. Because that's how search engines are understood to work. If they make a wrong quote, they would be responsible for that though.

So my understanding is their unreliable AI summaries are a legal liability for Google in Germany and people can request corrections through the courts.

Wait do I have to choose what search provider I use for every search? They don't get merged by Uruky?

> Agents are fixing bugs so quickly and at a scale humans can't do already.

The metric is how many defects are introduced per defect fixed. Being fast is bad if this ratio is above one.

Weird article because it offhandedly mentions the term "healthy vaccinee effect[0]" but does not explain it. So while I was reading and wondering whether all these studies they mention were observational, they drop the term somewhere in the middle and then just continue their breathless listing of vaccines' inverse correlation to dementia.

The word interventional is not found anywhere in the article and it is hard for me to believe there are no interventional studies in this field.

> Multiple large observational studies have found that routine adult vaccines are associated with a reduced risk of dementia, with some showing risk reductions of 25% to 40%.

The observed difference is most likely caused by people with declining health being less likely to vaccinate. My assumption is that the article was compiled to show a conclusion that is not supported if one looks only a little bit further.

As a diabetic I have done this exact exercise: Look at photos and guess carbs. Two slices of bread is easy mode.

Why assume trick ingredients?

The victims went after a slanderer who systematically profited from his lies. Don't see why we should compare him to randos on Twitter.
