Loads of things need organising for a large event, like toilets (including waste retrieval), registration?, volunteers, security/policing, permits, advertising?, food court?, litter control, etc, etc
I think at the end he forgot he was meant to get a person round (dead or alive). I guess you could cremate the person before beginning and maglev the remains round, as long as you can argue that it's still a person (minus all the water, anyway).
Morocco being “al-Maghrib” is suprising to me, since I know al-Maghrib as the Maghreb region, aka the part of north Africa that speaks Maghreb Arabic (al-Maġrib al-ʿArabī).
Wikipedia says it's المملكة المغربية which is “al-Mamlakah al-Maghribiyah” but I don't know if the map's version is an acceptable shorthand.
I at least appreciate that he points out that he's describing American schools; my experiences of British schools doesn't tally with his, but I assume from all the media's portrayals that his memories match the common US experience.
“There’s no silver bullet here, but there’s some silver buckshot, hopefully.”
This is something it's easy to forget. Small improvements are still improvements, and enough of them will get us there. Don't let doomscrolling (and stories like this) lead you into despair and apathy.
I think most people share your confusion. It seems that F5 was following their responsibility as a CNA, but one guy disagreed enough to leave with all his toys.
I wish all rules, Ts&Cs, contracts, etc came like this. It might make it less unfeasible to follow what's changed when something forces you to agree to the new version of the terms.
The problem with stats like these are that Firefox users (and the browser's defaults) block a lot of the scripts and images used for tracking.
Cloudflare's stats show higher Firefox usage (4.737% for 2023 Q3), although that's still less than even Edge. My own logs show more still, although my visitors are more technical than usual.
That was a confusing headline: I had no idea if it was saying that MS used AI tools to catch hackers or if it meant that MS discovered that hackers were using the tools. It's the latter, btw
Even ignoring privacy arguments, I think that voice control is a great use case for running services locally - lower latency due to not having up upload your sample and the option of having it learn your accent is very attractive.
That said, voice control is irritatingly error-prone and seems to be slower than just reaching for the remote control. I agree that automatic stuff would be best, but some stuff you can't have rules for.
Something that would be interesting is a more eye- and gesture-based system: I'm thinking something like you look at the camera and slice across your throat for stop or squeeze fingers together to reduce volume. This is definitely one to run locally, for privacy and performance reasons.
If you want to go the converter route, Cloudflare Pages sounds fairly perfect for you. You can have it trigger from commits in GitLab/GitHub and run whichever (Hugo, Jekyll, etc) static site builder you like. The free tier will be plenty for you.

These are all short words full of the most common letters, so will make designing crosswords easier because they'll be useful "crossers".
