Sadly for Samsung TVs rather than seven years of upgrades it is seven years of downgrades.

Good find.
Though, these are not totally out of line with this announcement. There they said prototype by "next year", which they did unveil, and "sell an electric vehicle equipped with a solid-state battery in the early 2020s". So 2026 doesn't fully qualify as early 20s.
Here's another short summary of the state of things, a year ago. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3F...

One thing that these companies collectively don't get is that every time they fire a worker, they are also firing a customer.

Maybe what is considered to be center in this study is actually right-leaning?
Maybe ChatGPT is by definition center because it averages over the views in its data set?

In some ways, the interface I had on my C64 is better than the command line interface we have now. It was a full screen interface, instead of a single line.
On OSX, iTerm2+tmux already gives some benefits. vscode+tmux is also quite good. Or just vscode.
Another option is various notebooks. For example, in TeXmacs you can get a shell to work, and then you have a notebook interface to shell, which means you can go up to previous lines, save the whole session, add comments, and so on. It would be easy to write an even better shell interface in TeXmacs. You can probably achieve similar outcomes in Jupyter.

Domains for Z-Library eBook Site Apparently Seized By US Department of Justice (bleepingcomputer.com) 63
"THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN SEIZED," declares the home page of three different domains, attributing the seizure to the America's Federal Bureau of Investigation "in accordance with a warrant."
Bleeping Computer reports the domains were seized early Friday morning — and that the domains belong to the popular Z-Library online eBook repository. Z-Library is ranked in the top 10k most visited websites on the Internet, offering over 11 million books and 84 million articles for free via its website....
WHOIS information initially showed that the U.S. government seized the domains and switched their DNS servers to NS1.SEIZEDSERVERS.COM and NS2.SEIZEDSERVERS.COM, two DNS servers commonly used by the U.S and law enforcement in domain seizures. However, since then, the DNS servers for these domains have been switched to Njalla, an anonymizing hosting provider. It is unclear how Z-Library could transfer the domains to the new hosting provider....
While the court order for the seizure is unavailable at this time, the site's domains were likely seized because many of the files were uploaded without the license of the original authors. Complaints to copyright protection offices in the past have resulted in legal actions forcing the platform's registrar to seize the Z-Library domains in 2015 and further domain blockages and DMCA notices in the U.S. and France in 2021. The USTR (United States Trade Representative) has recently launched an investigation on the platform... As reported by TorrentFreak last week, TikTok decided to block hashtags related to Z-Library, reportedly responding to copyright holder's complaints.

I think you meant to say that there is nothing illegal in it. "Wrong" is more complicated. It can be seen as bribes, or hiding the real origin of the opinions given by a supposedly independent party.
