I have basically mildly positive feelings about Gemini Nano being available in Chrome. I don't use Chrome, but lots of stuff should be done on-device, not off. That's a win.
If "software shouldn't have features i don't like" is the argument you're actually making, that's not really a good argument. Even when the feature is an LLM model.
"Chrome is getting big and bloated and we can do better” is absolutely a good argument you can make.
And then the real kicker: Google pushing the web platform around through dominance is just the real ick here. It's the same sort of thing monopoly power enables. Companies that own verticals in the economy or a product market can dictate rather than negotiate. This is, in general, bad. Google does this, not because the ideas its employees put forward are good, but because they work out to be in Google's interests. And those interests can run counter to the rest of the world.
That's what we have to push back on.

One of the most important arguments against nuclear power is that reactors are automatically a target in wartime, and this inherent threat has hugely grown now that exploding drones are part of every country's arsenal.

If you imagine #NYC police as Cartman (from South Park) doing the whole "respect mah authoritah!" bit, the behavior of the NYPD around the snowballs incident makes complete sense. It's not that anyone was hurt, nor was there any damage, but their fragile egos just can't handle not having their authority respected. Even when they do completely dumb shit like wandering into the m…

The NYPD's dragnet against revelers who took part in the viral snowball fight in Washington Square Park on February 23 has now nabbed a second New Yorker—this time, a teenager.

On Wednesday morning, 18-year-old East Harlem resident Eric Wilson Jr. turned himself in at his local precinct, and was arraigned yesterday on misdemeanor charges of obstructing government administration and harassment in the second degree, according to the Manhattan DA's office. Following the snowball fight, the NYPD…

If you set limits for a scale (e.g. x-axis) in ggplot, how would you like data outside of that range be handled? There is the oob parameter for that and a set of functions to use with it: scales.r-lib.org/reference/oob

Large eddy simulation of turbulent swirl-stabilized flames using the front propagation formulation: impact of the resolved flame thickness

Abstract: This work extends the front propagation formulation (FPF) combustion model to large eddy simulation (LES) of swirl-stabilized turbulent premixed flames and investigates the effects of resolved flame thickness on the predicted flame dynamics. The FPF method is designed to mitigate the spurious propagation of under-resolved flames while preserving the reaction characteristics of filtered flame fronts. In this study, the model is extended to account for non-adiabatic effects and is coupled with an improved sub-filter flame speed estimation that resolves the inconsistency arising from heat-release effects on local sub-filter turbulence. The performance of the extended FPF method is validated by LES of the TECFLAM swirl-stabilized burner, where the results agree well with experimental measurements. The simulations reveal that the stretching of vortical structures in the outer shear layer leads to the formation of trapped flame pockets, which are identified as the physical mechanism responsible for the secondary temperature peaks observed in the experiment. The prediction of this phenomenon is shown to be strongly dependent on the resolved flame thickness, when the filter size is used for modeling sub-filter flame wrinklings. Without proper modeling of the chemical steepening effects, the thickness of the resolved flame brush is over-predicted, causing the flame consumption rate to be under-estimated. Consequently, the flame brush detaches from the outer shear layer, resulting in a failure to capture the flame pockets and the associated secondary temperature peaks.

Okay, I should be able to understand your unit tests. Like, it should not take me 20 mins to add a feature and then 2 hours trying to make sense of the various ways the tests are now failing because I changed the number of arguments to a function.
