But if he didn't delegate, and it said he did, that would suggest that the methodology doesn't really work.

Why would html rendering require a network connection? It doesn't seem to on my machine.

Things like LaTeX equation rendering are hosted on a cdn

They can be but don't need to be. Any javascript can be localized like HTML and CSS.

That's fair, but imagine trying to get the average reader up to speed with something like npm.

You don't actually need npm either. You can literally just distribute everything - html, css, images and js in a zipped folder and open it locally.

Now? There's no change. Also human readable text substantially consists of letters. But that's most of the base64 alphabet too. So this isn't like steganography. All the letters in the human-readable words are valid base64 characters too. The only thing about this is that you get to choose where to put the spaces and newlines. You can't exactly construct arbitrary payloads starting from arbitrary messages.

Maybe he means invisible whitespace characters that don't render? I haven't verified this but depending on the definition of whitespace it's possible you can pass a base64 string and insert an arbitrary number of them. When decoded per spec they do nothing so nobody notices them. But if you can pass the base64 string through you can receive or verify the hidden message. Lots of reasons you might want to hide data in plain sight.

It's quite remarkable that such a loosely quantified pool of startups (1000+) yields precisely one exceptional founder.

Yo MTV Raps beat them to trademark office.

My phone has this cool feature where it doesn't support HDR.

Every phone has it, it’s called “power save mode” on most devices and provides additional advantages like preventing apps from doing too much stuff in the background. =)

I once lived with a guy who had a valid disabled parking placard. But he didn't like to use it because he didn't feel like he really needed it. Once the apartment manager basically begged him to use it because parking was scarce in the complex and the disabled parking was under-utilized.

I don't think the dad necessarily sucks here. The dad didn't make up the system.


One reason it's less friendly is that lots people think it has anything to do with java.

The craft isn't any less scarce. If anything, only more. The craft of building wooden furniture is just as scarce as ever, despite the existence of Ikea.

Which is the only woodworkers that survive are the ones with enough customers willing to pay premium prices for furniture, or lucky to live in countries where Ikea like shops aren't yet a thing.

After all that noise, the clanker just says it can't do it and the PR is abandoned. I'd say it would have been easier to literally do nothing and have the same result.

If a human wrote it, at least there would have been a possibility for learning or growth. This just looks like a waste of time for everyone.


Noise, credits.

Maybe if we burn through the budget, the AI mandates will back off a bit?
