Are you referring to the Online Safety Act 2021? https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/C2021A00076 Or something else?

I also had a similar concept but went in a different direction, combining DAOs, AI, and FHE to similar ends. The idea is plausible, and given several orders of magnitude more energ…

I used the default inputs and got an NSFW detected warning on my first try.

All power to the author and the passion for open source is admirable, I just don't think we'll be seeing a world in "a couple more decades" where all software will be open source. …

The underlying work you guys have done is great as a proof of concept, and after playing with it for a short while there are some obvious flaws and improvements which basically jus…

It's fascinating how deeply automobiles affect every aspect of our lives to the point where seatbelt vs safety seat even matters. To consider a world without significant car commut…

From a design point of view, with all the back and forth and the need to curate and guide the algorithm, I think we're a way off getting perfect results from prompts alone at this …

I'm highly self-critical so I'd go through phases where suddenly I'd decide I need to be on-brand and delete all my stories, musings, music, non-brand-related stuff. Only to get an…

Archaeologists still study garbage heaps from tens of thousands of years ago to figure out things about past civilisations. So my guess is on no - people will study the digital gar…

As a senior developer, if working just in the office as was expected in the past I was distracted by things like a story about the weekend two colleagues are having in the backgrou…

I am not against jQuery but if it's just verbosity then it's quite easy to: const $ = document.querySelectorAll.bind(document) Then later: $('#element').whatever I used to be a big…

Usually I'm not bothered by how a font looks but this one was unpleasant to me as well and I'm not one to usually notice. It seems they're using a font face designed for titles in …

This is not going against what you said in principle, I feel what you are saying, but I feel the need to add that I was admin of a few topic oriented message boards in the 90's and…

Many of the projects I worked on would have a near-identical replication of an environment from the network stack to the application and databases. Flipping from staging to product…

I was reaching on the mapping of numbers to letters to be honest. If I were designing a system to track and corelate everything I'd take it into account since it's still in use, bu…

Telemetry is the catch-all phrase used to describe data captured about a device. Telemetry servers combine this information to build profiles on users. Network models of relationsh…

"xyzzy: nothing happens, nice try!" Drats! Nice little tie-ins with memorabilia as well. I started writing a similar thing myself based on the Amstrad CPC look-n-feel. I should go …

If permanency is a priority then letting external scripts be responsible for presenting content is not a good idea, especially if the agreement doesn't make any promises about whet…

"We only have two environments: our laptops, and production. Once we merge into the main branch, it will be immediately deployed to production." Maybe my reading skills have comple…

This sounds like something I would write if a hypothetical gun was pointed at my head in a company where the most prominent customer complaint was that time spent in QA and testing…

Tangential but what is the most successful and most complex example of a fully FP-based application where I can view the source-code today? I feel like I still don't quite grasp th…

Possibly a lot of the 40k went into branding and other fluff, but something in the core engine might have intrinsic value even if its extrinsic value wasn't properly realised or co…

A few hot takes: - I feel some analogous thinking with computational complexity. An action may have broad repercussions, but in big O thinking, as we approach infinity, only those …

Content I find interesting, fair but firm moderation keeping the vibe in check, constructive conversations by and large. I never really notice the UI personally.

"Are you tired of waking up late? Rushing out the door without breakfast, again ? Overdue for your fondue? Then you need Toastamak! Our patented quasispace manifold uses space age …
