Also Zen exists, which is a Firefox fork that implements the concept of Arc

The figures that fortune 500 companies give for how much of their new code is AI generated are also wildly exaggerated, likely for similar reasons. It makes investors fork over cash for the near term. They'll all lean on plausible deniability when it all becomes obviously untrue.

Based on the steam page it doesn't look like an epic games account is required at all.

This isn't exactly the type of work tons of astronomers are doing, nor does it cut into their jobs. Astronomers have already been using ML/algorithms/machine vision/similar stuff like this for this kind of work for years.

Besides, whenever a system identifies objects like this, they still need to be confirmed. This kind of thing just means telescope time is more efficient and it leaves more time for the kinds of projects that normally don't get much telescope time.

Also, space is big. 150k possible objects is NOTHING.

Absolutely, it's expensive. Definitely better to share it with family and friends to equalize the cost.

I only consider it because I listen to a ton of music, my university degree was music, and I spend a lot of money on music generally.

Not FOSS, but something I've been considering is Roon. I switched to Tidal from Spotify (which is a legit improvement imho)

They have a self hostable option and the idea is to mix your personal library, Tidal, Quobuz, and recommendation engines into one app.

I think this is pretty easy to BS through though.

For sure. So far I've only used it for one batch of interviews so I'm not 100% set on it, but we used it as our last round to narrow down between a few finalists and we were already confident they were not people who would BS the excercise.

Yup, this is what I've always done for interviews.

Technical questions are purely to see what background someone has and how they explain or reason their way to some sort of answer. Its also nice to see if someone will say they don't know something but offer their best guess, which is always a good indicator. I'll usually provide the answer right away after they've answered, both to boost confidence for correct answers and because a quick explanation has a tendency to ease tension, especially if they then relate it to some other knowledge they have or suddenly recall the info with a little help.

The other thing I do is ask questions about disagreements with previous coworkers or managers. If someone starts explaining themselves into being superior to others, it's a red flag. Its nice to get an idea for how someone resolves conflict or what kinds of complications they've run into, but I mostly just want to see how they view themselves compared to others.

I know my approach is sometimes strange to others doing hiring with me, but it's all pulled from my time as an education major (I switched out after 3 years to another degree) and real world teaching experience. Good teachers ask questions to understand how a student learns and what they know broadly, not to get an exact percentage of points. (State/district testing requirements aside)

A new thing I've been trying instead of live coding is having people map out a loose architecture for some sort of API data process or frontend data process, then walking us through it. Its more or less a pseudo coding excercise, but it takes the stress of actual language knowledge away. I'm not sure if it'll stick long run, but it's been an interesting experience.

Fwiw, they've open sourced the specification behind canvas, so there's a good chance any OSS Obsidian "forks" that pop up if they do enshittify will be able to support it.

Thats absolutely possible via the underlying WebPayments API. The payment "wallet" is linked in the HTML (at least for web pages, RSS, podcast RSS, etc) so someone could design an app that reads these links as QR codes.

The whole point of WebPayments is that and payment solution that you (the "spender") wants to use which is compatible can be used to send money to any compatible wallet.

Whether the payment solution is via government backed, banking systems, or crypto, all it needs to be is compatible.

A valid concern. However, nothing is stopping people from doing the same right now with a big old forced Kofi/patreon/whatever banner, and I'm not sure that this changes that.

The advantage of this over current options is that like RSS, you can consume/deliver it however best suits you without needing to have different accounts of different platforms.

Ah. I think I jumped to assumptions about interledger based on the wallet terminology.
