The book Sentient is not about AI but abount the most amazing physical senses some other animals have.

The theme of the scientific findings is that while humans excel with none of our physical sensors, we do very well across the board in making use of them thanks to our relatively huge brains.

And fantastical amounts of compute power is exactly what are handing over to AI. The fact that their training data isn't perfect may matter less.

I co-maintain a popular Linux launcher, Fuzzel, on Codeberg. We have no shortage of contributors despite not being on Github and the quality of contributors there is fairly high. In the past there were performance problems, but it's worked well enough lately.

My personal repos are on Gitlab. The UI is cluttered, but it works well enough.

I looked at Stow and Chezmoi and also have stuck with YADM. The exact reason is that YADM is so simple and intuitive because it's basically Git-for-dotfiles with so little to learn. Yet it also manages to support alternate and template files.

Google described Manifest V2 as significant tech debt with new bugs still found there. Either they are lying or it's a non-trivial feature set to continue to support.

So will be interesting to see how many other browsers actually do keep this support alive.

"This will also impact other Chromium-based browsers... Neowin points out that Microsoft Edge and Opera are likely to follow suit."

This is story about browser Chromium browser monoculture and Google's influence over it.

The median would be interesting than the mean, as you can be hollowing out the middle, leaving more low-wage workers and a few very highly paid ones and the "average" still looks good.

Voroni is useful for spatial analysis when you want to assign points to a nearest /something/ like airplane positions to the nearest airport.

I used for intersection crash analysis to make sure each crash was assigned to at most intersection. I combined this with a radius around each intersection so crashes too far away were also not attributed to an intersection.

Besides bankruptcy there is also shutting a business down, in which case are no new owners. Lavabit and Silent Circle being examples of businesses that shutdown rather than comply with laws they didn't like.

And how you would craft a law to prevent a company from forming sub-companies for specific games to isolate risk? Or make it illegal for a company to go bankrupt?

Creating sub-companies is common business practice that even small businesses use. Like if a small company wants to buy a building, they may form an LLC to hold the property to isolate that risk from the rest of their business.

On a couple of different Ghost sites I maintain, I got suspicious sign-ups from travel-related domains that require email verification.

I suspect they might have used OpenClaw to accomplish the email verification step (no evidence) and were setting themselves up for later comment spam.

Even if you aren't using OpenClaw, it may be using you!
