I think the difference between chromium and chrome is a very important thing to observe and not neglect

How should an engine be modern or even sufficiently safe when written in c++?

No, there is definitely ways to do it safely over the network. And ways to do it well without interrupting workflow

Still missing full E2E encrypted collaboration on documents in real time. Why? When?

Obviously I would never make a mistake, just some other folks. And of course I would never use their code. So what should I fear?

In upcoming times of vibe coding and what not, better have more nannies than less.

Attached to: Silicon Valley Is Debating If AI Weapons Should Be Allowed To Decide To Kill
It is the wrong way to look at this issue. It is not about to "allow" something to a weapon, it is about the question if a human in charge, like a soldier or the like, being entitled to use weapons, is allowed to delegate a) the decision when to pull the trigger, and b) if the person is to be allowed to delegate the responsibility. As with any machine or weapon anyway, be it making "decisions" in an "intelligent" way, or in a "stupid" one like a big bomb just falling somewhere, where beyond hope there is little final influence of a human being what exactly it hits after being thrown of an airplane or the like.

You won't have that in Europe (except Uk) and in most countries you would have strong rights to appeal. Of course not in UK. They do not even have a constitution.

So true. At least in many areas which are far behind.

from the rubber-ducky-optional dept.
cremeglace writes "A Harvard University physicist has come up with a new way to cool parts of the planet: pump vast swarms of tiny bubbles into the sea to increase its reflectivity and lower water temperatures. 'Since water covers most of the earth, don't dim the sun,' says the scientist, Russell Seitz, speaking from an international meeting on geoengineering research. 'Brighten the water.' From ScienceNOW: 'Computer simulations show that tiny bubbles could have a profound cooling effect. Using a model that simulates how light, water, and air interact, Seitz found that microbubbles could double the reflectivity of water at a concentration of only one part per million by volume. When Seitz plugged that data into a climate model, he found that the microbubble strategy could cool the planet by up to 3C. He has submitted a paper on the concept he calls “Bright Water" to the journal Climatic Change.'"

iamapizza writes: New Scientist reports on the quest of two math boffins for the perfect way to slice a pizza. It's an interesting and in-depth article;
"The problem that bothered them was this. Suppose the harried waiter cuts the pizza off-centre, but with all the edge-to-edge cuts crossing at a single point, and with the same angle between adjacent cuts. The off-centre cuts mean the slices will not all be the same size, so if two people take turns to take neighbouring slices, will they get equal shares by the time they have gone right round the pizza — and if not, who will get more?"
This is useful, of course, if you're familiar with the concept of "sharing" a pizza.
