the thing is that all US states but Louisiana inherited all pre-indepensence British law, and all of them have other ways to change your name now, but all but a few of those don't have wording *repealing* deed polls, and courts have broadly ruled that they're still a legally valid method

020

the reason nobody mentions this in the US is because nobody will believe you if you tell them this is what the law says.

fwiw this doesn't matter at all but while afaik the term "deed poll" is UK-specific the legal concept exists in most common law jurisdictions (incl. all but a few US states)

it looks like you can include a deed poll if you apply by mail

technically this is a regulation and not a law but afaik it has basically the same effect as what new jersey passed

Yes, I fell for the "Got your nose" trick, but that shouldn't distract us from the real issue of nose theft in our society

(also absolutely nobody cares but this would be the SEC)

their losses went up a bit over 2x year-over-year but also they grew by literally an order of magnitude, so

the theory is that a valuation is, like, 100% of this year's profit, plus 90% of next year's profits, plus 90% of 90% of the year after that, and so on

somebody needs to do something about this

o3ds didn't have NFC and n3ds they didn't bother did they

i thought that was only the Wii U

(but also based on the article the OP seems to be implying that Anthropic is a bad investment because their valuation is going up?? if i understand correctly most of the losses are because they owe early investors shares at already locked-in prices)

they edited it to "coming years" so presumably it means the next, like, decade

doesn't the nyt pay awful because the whole point is getting favorable treatment from everyone else

this is a really really bad solution but could you "just" use SVGinOT

isn't her entire argument "LLMs can't understand non-standard dialects, which is bad because it will homogenize language"? the premise is what's being disputed, not whether the conclusion follows, but she keeps trying to redirect the conversation to the latter

really hope that the message people take away from all the EA sex parties stuff is "don't import inherently coercive real life employer/employee or mentor/mentee dynamics into your edgeplay kink spaces" and not "THEY DO THE IMMORAL KIND OF SEX DISGUSTING"

afaik hdd manufacturers won't process warranty claims without the original receipt so it being open-box immediately craters the value

i don't think a 4TB mechanical drive from a non-authorized reseller would be worth particularly much? roughly $100 i'd guess

if you mean reflection wise both java and c++26 reflection work on closures, afaik

isn't an upvalue just a bound variable?

200

fwiw i got very confused reading this at first by upvalues being called a "feature" and not just a term for a concept inherent to closures

yeah people got mad that they didn't ban the frontend contractor they hired from using LLMs

to heavily simplify water is cycled within a datacenter to move heat around, and then that heat is used to boil water with the steam pumped outside in order to get the heat outside the building. the former water does need to be clean but also doesn't need to be continuously replenished

080

many data centers use potable water because there isn't sufficient infrastructure to distribute non-potable water but this is not a requirement (ex. google has bragged about "more than 25%" of their datacenters using non-potable water sources)

using labelers for purposes other than moderation is kind of bad because you are giving the owner the power to ban people from your view of the network (the UI should really explicitly say this when you subscribe to one....)

id recommend setting your pronouns using witchsky.app (or another third party client) so people on other clients can see them without the labeler though

100

it looks like they implemented it on a branch but decided not to merge it before a profile editor redesign that still hasn't happened. Awesome

wait is the pronouns field still not rolled out on the official client? server-side support has existed for like a year and most third party clients have it
