The extension I ended up using for Firefox was Straight to the Web. Auditing the source code I saw that it looked for certain Google URL patterns being navigated to and re-wrote them.
I just tested with DuckDuckGo's "!g" feature and it seemed to work, but I don't use DDG so I don't know if there's anything I'm missing.
Yeah I'll probably have a big tax bill if I ever renounce citizenship. I haven't thought about it too much yet since it's still my only citizenship, and I have a lot of friends and family in the USA. Like a visitor visa might be fine in normal times, but I wouldn't want to rely on it in an emergency today given how visitors are being treated lately.
'Till now I was always able to just do financial planning myself, but I really should hire a professional.
An internal transfer at my job actually. At least for now they need me so helped set that up, though I'm pretty worried on if that will last long enough for permanent residency or not.
I'd be a little nervous on a job seeker's visa before knowing the language. It is really hard to find a job as a programmer in Europe without living there or being a citizen; because of language barriers, the labor market test, and the difficulty in getting a company to sponsor your visa. I didn't send out that many job applications but so far my response rate is zero.
Probably if I couldn't do a transfer I'd have ended up on an investment visa or study visa somewhere; though maybe I could have found a job in Japan since I can read intermediate Japanese.
I expect learning German to the B1 level will open up a lot of doors, so that's my main goal for the next few years.
Understatement of the year:
I mean, these [concerns about teenagers having access to guns] are questions that are beyond the scope of Metro Schools but need to be addressed by the broader community
That broader community? Why that's called the federal government.
"Yes judge I downloaded Shrek 2 to train my neural net for my startup"
"The name of my neural net? Sailor Sega Saturn's brain I guess..."
"Oh my startup? That's what I call trying to get out of bed in the morning!"
Within 5 minutes of my first hike, the trees smiled at me and whispered their simple wisdom.
This probably only sounds profound to people who haven't been outside in 7 years. Don't get me wrong hiking is good for the soul. But if it hits you that hard after five minutes you're probably terminally online.
~~Also why can't trees have complex wisdom gosh darn it?~~
The guy running a hostile workplace while hanging out with Logan Paul, selling junk food to children, and putting on reality shows so hostile to the contestants that they get compared to torture is... into cryptocurrency?! I'm shocked! Shocked!
Goodness kids need some better role models because sometimes it seems 90% of people on the social networks are morally bankrupt.
Microsoft’s excuse is that many of these attacks require an insider.
Sure we made phishing way easier, more dangerous, and more subtle; but it was the user's fault for trusting our Don't Trust Anything I Say O-Matic workplace productivity suite!
Edit: and really from the demos it looks like a user wouldn't have to do anything at all besides write "summarize my emails" once. No need to click on anything for confidential info to be exfiltrated if the chatbot can already download arbitrary URLs based on the prompt injection!
The one catch is that because responses from the blockchain can take variable amounts of time, it’s best to request and receive from blockchains using asynchronous methods.
"You may be used to writing websites that actually load in fractions of a second, and so rely on obsolete web2 technologies like synchronous fetches. But don't worry! With modern techniques like async / await your loading spinner will animate flawlessly while the blockchain spends 20 minutes burning down a forest in the background."
You can practically taste the frustration in the "prompt engineering" here. Just one more edge case bro, one more edge case and then the prompt will be perfect!
TL;DR: "I'm no longer a white nationalist because a lot of white people are cucked. Now my new identity is with sufficiently pilled white people. This is much more pragmatic. Also I would totally have a cool black friend if any actually existed which means I'm totally not racist."
Also: did anyone else feel a chill reading about a literal nazi talking about how society accepts him now? America used to despise nazis and now they feel like they can walk around openly. It's terrifying.
Holy hell all the examples I found made me seasick. I am apparently physically incapable of watching veo3 videos.
