If the set of sets is not a set then why did you just define it as a set? Checkmate.

Linus Torvalds Takes On A Performance Patch: "I Relax By Playing With Inline Assembly"
He says this because he kind of ignorantly (his own wordage) wrote in machine code for quite some time before realizing assembly was a thing. So for Linus inline assembly is to machine code as python is to c for a lot of us.

It was never exactly a feature, it was to do with how websockets handled new posts. They're movinig away from websockets in 0.18 so it won't be a thing anymore.

Firefox now has speed parity with Chrome on the Speedometer benchmark

It's not even that Ublock/bloat is slowing things down, web sites are plagued by bad development and multi-standard requirements leading to tons of wasted processing time waiting for elements which eventually error out. I've analyzed performance on multiple websites, even big-name and high-traffic websites like Youtube and found that 60%+ of load time is just sitting there doing barely any processing while waiting for extra remote services to be contacted only to never load and finally fail allowing to page to go interactable. It's like having a beast of a computer but forgoing actual RAM in place for pagefile-as-ram; all other components could be amazing, but you're paying that performance tax no matter what.

Another One Of Russia’s Nuclear-Proof Transports Just Got Blown Up In Ukraine
Reply in thread
Thanks for this, I didn't know people thought that nuclear-proof meant that it could literally take a nuke. I certainly hope people haven't been thinking that a MOPP suit will make one a super soldier impervious to nukes or anything considered a chemical (which could be interpreted as all matter).

When I moved from Digg to Reddit, I used to check back on Digg until eventually the content on Reddit became better than on Digg. The same will happen here.
That's the thing with sites that run on user generated (and moderated) content, there's positive growth/decline feedback. More users -> more content -> more users, and on the flipside fewer users -> less content -> fewer users.

Thanks to the use of markup language in our comments we're all ^coding^ anytime we comment.

The main difference I've noted so far between lemming and Reddit is that in lemming people seem to know when to write it's or its.

Your probably right.

Neat rock- any geology enthusiasts know what kind it is?
Seems like a serpentine-type. Black, glossy, intrusive with non-conchoidal fracture planes.

Oddly reminiscent of this. I just wish we got a chance for Bernie.

I'm not sure, client.js has entries for displaying and interacting with the 'more' button; it just hasn't been doing anything.
Oddly enough, I think it was just fixed for comments but still not on posts. Probably something in showMoreButton, though from what I see of it everything looks normal.

Report: Microsoft launched Bing chatbot despite OpenAI warning it wasn’t ready
Reply in thread
Read openAI’s papers on chatGPT. They define it as a next token guesser and detail the exact hidden layer functions that accomplish this. It’s not an oversimplification, it’s what the creators of these AIs define their creations as.
Other properties may be there, but as you say they are emergent; emergent properties rely on two or more sources, if one goes away so do they.
