I just don't see these endeavors becoming profitable. Whatever you feed to these animal cells comes from plants. And there's thousands of simpler ways to process plants, of which you just need one way to produce a similarly decent result, then virtually no one's going to pay extra for lab-grown.

    I still remember when the development of Ruffle was announced and thought they're crazy to tackle that. Very glad to see they persisted all these years.

    I mean, they already do that in a way, because their stocks lose value when the company loses money. That's why everyone and their hamster is selling off these stocks now.

    But sure, making the investors pay another time or just generally increasing fines could help.
    Unfortunately, companies then lobby for Nazis to take over government to undo these increased fines + abolish law enforcement for themselves, so that's not terribly ideal either...

    TL;DR from what I can tell:
    They loaded the user email address into the model context in Claude Code, because users wanted it to correctly generate that in certain places, like when documenting that it was the user who made a certain change.

    But webpages can ask for the e-mail address to be sent along with the user agent and so the model just, well, did that.

    Well, my current doctor actually has somewhat of a specialization in nutrition. But I'm also not from the US, so we're probably talking about different things, if we get down to these details...

    Man, I kind of hate the stock market. Apparently, everyone just assumes that the guy was doing illegal things, and only because there's now a chance that someone might actually check, that's why we stop giving him money to fund that.

    Criminal = invest
    Criminal + law enforcement = pull out

    I've got a very specific 'talent' in that regard. I can smell when tomato sauce has the right amount of salt.

    I put that into quotation marks, because it's more of a learned skill probably, since I have cooked potentially literally a metric ton of tomato sauce in my life.
    My mum once joked that she's surprised I'm not orange from all the tomato sauce I eat.

    Kind of similar here. I have an almost photographic memory, but only really for numbers.

    When I newly moved here, I went out shopping for furniture. At the cash register, the lady asked me what my postal code was for delivery. At that point, I had never properly read my full address, but it was on the contract I had signed. So, I went into the back of my brain, found a screenshot of that and could read out the code. Then I obviously double-checked, but yeah, I got all 5 digits right.

    I can bend my knees backwards to about 200°. It's just not that interesting + difficult to show off in normal pants + gives away that I'm secretly a horse.

    I would absolutely expect a doctor to have a reasonable understanding of nutrition. It's the source of many illnesses.

    But they can also send a blood sample or a stool sample off to a lab and tell you where you might have deficiencies.
    Which I can definitely recommend. I thought, I was doing really well on nutrition and then got told I have two critical vitamin deficiencies. So, I received an extremely high dosage for a few weeks and am supplementing now.

    Well, or they can send you off to an actual expert on nutrition. Your general practitioner is just the entrypoint for the whole healthcare system.

    Yeah, it's qualities that are useful for humans, too, like frontloading all the errors to compile time + good compiler error messages.

    Like, I'm annoyed that people will be irrational about it, much like they associate Rust with rewrites in permissive licenses, even though it is just a tool. It entirely depends on how you use the tool.
    But irrational people gonna irrational. Not much you can do about that...

    Anyone have strong opinions on these for playback of MIDI files via their CLI?

    I saw that TiMidity++ has received virtually no development since 2004, but well, it does work. FluidSynth seems like it would be more flexible, but I'm not sure how much of that is for use as a library.

    Would you recommend switching to FluidSynth just in general?

     

    Trying to figure out how to best add text to an SVG, I thought maybe it doesn't show up because it's black-on-black, so I gave it stroke="white" before realizing I need to zoom out. Well, and stroke means the outline in SVG, so on the white background, it just makes the font look really thin.

    This is the whole code:

    <svg viewBox="0 -5 40 10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
      <text stroke="white">hello</text>
      <circle id="myCircle" cx="5" cy="5" r="4" />
      <use href="#myCircle" x="10" fill="blue" />
      <use href="#myCircle" x="20" fill="white" stroke="red" />
    </svg>
    

    And most of that is just this MDN example: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Reference/Element/use#example

    It does use my default font, which is Fira Sans. Will look different on other systems.

    Screenshot of what looks like abstract art. The word "hello" is in thin, almost calligraphic letters at the top. Below it are three circles, spread out horizontally, in the colors black, blue and then red with white fill.
