I take it that the squirrel didn't circle the man? Two squirrels running around the same tree, are they circling each other? Or is it that when two bodies are orbiting the same center, then the body with the larger orbit is circling the one with the smaller? What is the definition of "circling"?

I think the main point of the story is that there 'going around' something is not necessarily precisely defined, and that there can be multiple interpretations of it, some of which depend from which perspective you are defining it. Which is a good way to get a sense of what mathematics is about, really (how can this be defined precisely? Is this definition consistent? What properties do different definitions have?).

I think I remember reading articles about how to implement blink in IE using behaviors, some IE only thing that didn't take hold(?), Maybe this was around IE5.

You can do it even even faster by replacing your if statements (works because the ascii values end in the digit they represent):

    if (d & 1)
       printf("odd\n");
    else 
       printf("even\n")

The article doesn't suggest that Bhutan has a future in the leadership of Tibetan Buddhism, but that when/if Tibetan Buddhism gets more fractured because of disputes around lineage, then Bhutan can become globally important in the thought leadership of Buddhism more generally, or maybe more specifically Vajrayana Buddhism.

There are 4 main schools of Vajrayana Buddhism: Nyingma, Kagyu, Sakya and Gelug, and the Dalai Lama is head of just one of them - Gelug. They have independent teaching transmissions and succession lines. There's common misconception about Dalai Lama being a kind of a "pope" for Buddhism at all, or for the Diamond way (that means Vajrayana) Buddhism in particular, which is simply not true.

Having said that, it is of course unfortunate that the issue with two candidates, one of them "manufactured" by the PRC regime, is on the horizon and most likely will happen. Please note this already happened for the Kagyu lineage, where two Karmapa candidates emerged in 90s; interesting that after few decades the Chinese one admitted recently he's not the real one.

Do you have a link to the Karmapa admitting he's not the real deal? I tried to google it but got nothing.

There is this: https://youtu.be/AdI4DMRFkm4

Although here he admits "he is not properly trained as previous Karmapas" that's not exactly the statement i claimed

There was also another one with a stronger statement, somewhere during covid, I need to dig more

Yeah, is-land means ice-land in Scandinavian languages.

There's been some development in crowd control, no? AI and robots will make this even better.

I remember somebody championing css features, I think Adobe, to make it possible to have overflowing content spill over into another container, like it is (was?) possible to do in Publisher. I'd love something like that, and have wanted it several times. But it was abandoned...

Never knew that. I think that in combination with CSS grid auto fill, that may have solved a huge chunk of paged columns.

Interesting. Now have a friend help you do it blinded.

Why would their way of handling memory for conversations have much to do with how they will analyse your user profile for ads? They have access to all your history either way and can use that to figure out what products to recommend, or ads to display, no?

It's about weaving the ads into the LLM responses overly and more subtly.

There's the ads that come before the movie and then the ads that are part of the dialog, involved in the action, and so on. Apple features heavily in movies and TV series when people are using a computer, for example. There's payments for car models to be the one that's driven in chase scenes. There's even payments for characters to present the struggles that form core pain points that that specific products are category leaders to solve.
