  • A CEO that does not do anything provides stability to the company. (/s)

    When management manages (making changes) you can often wonder: Wouldn't it be better if they did nothing instead?

  • Insights from Dior, a prominent figure in the Counter-Strike community, reveal that Gabe Newell owns less than 25% of Valve.

    Huh, I didn't know that. (emphasis mine)

  • What is this reporting? The tone sounds like a personal Twitter post.

    which Google recently launched as a way to search the web without Google's alpha-quality AI junk. It's actually pretty nice, showing only the traditional 10 blue links, giving you a clean (well, other than the ads), uncluttered results page that looks like it's from 2011.

  • The elected president is far from separatist. He's supporting the status quo. China shows how utterly selfish and uncooperable they are.

    I hope this provocative behavior leads to further preparation, unification, and separation within Thailand, and international allies supporting them. China clearly shows where they stand and where they will move towards.

    It's "only" buffing right now, but Tibet and Hong Kong showed they will act eventually if let be.

  • Great extensive write-up.

    Stefan Hector, a representative of the Swedish Police Authority, said that “a society cannot accept that criminals today have a space to communicate safely in order to commit serious crimes.” A week later, it was revealed that the Swedish police had been infiltrated and were leaking information to criminals.

    🙃

  • I assume you don't mean keyboard text predictions, which would be a different thing, but the platforms.

    It's a new convenience feature. Something they as a platform can shine with, retain users, and set themselves apart from other platforms.

    Having training data is not the primary potential gain. It's user investment, retention, and interaction. Users choosing the generated text is valid training data. Whether they chose similar words, or what was suggested, is still input on user choice.

    It does lead to a convergence to a centralized standard speak. With a self-strengthening feedback loop.

  • Wikipedia has guidance for it as Citing sources. Regarding web links specifically section Handling links and Preventing and repairing dead links.

    The Web Archive "Wayback Machine" is available at web.archive.org. It has a "Save Page Now" action too.

    https://web.archive.org/web/*/beehaw.org gives you a history of archived versions of that URL.

    The Web Archive "Wayback Machine" is a project from archive.org, which does much more in archiving and accessibility efforts. An alternative service for websites is https://archive.ph/.

  • At least this one certainly can't pass each other on one track.

  • With how locked down and controlled the Russian court system is you can't even know whether this is a political or juridical decision.

  • The video-in-photograph videography is great!

  • TF2 was great before they increased the player limit (I think that was before it became free to play?). It was a hero shooter with strategy and synergy. It became a spammy farm fest with too many items and too many players for what the maps were designed for.

  • Consolidating a large website down to fewer pages that are accessible for everyone is a good thing.

    For consolidation, the clean thing is to introduce redirection to the new location.
