Invited to a job interview, where interviewer will be AI. They included a link to an example interview, and link to "find more information [about being interviewed by an AI] here," and that link says, "This page couldn’t be found," when I click it.
Gonna have to prank this AI interviewer, right? I mean clearly they're not a serious company using a machine to do interviews and leaving their tips for potential recruits 404. I already know it would be a nightmari…

Es gibt zwar keine neuen versendbaren Stücke mehr, weil zwar Bestellungen möglich sind, ich aber vor Weihnachten nichts mehr versende.
Doch ich hab ein Geschenk! 🎁🧑🎄
Good website #uber guys...

Old enough to remember 2013-02-07 when any web page that included a Facebook-supplied javascript resource (to enable the, once ubiquitous, Facebook Connect) redirected users to Facebook.
(It's the event that most informed my suspicion in using third-party javascript - without SRI.)
It's 2025: Facebook is retiring external like buttons, but Cloudflare is breaking captchas.

I decided to support something for which the only support mechanism is "buymeacoffee" with a monthly donation — so I created a login at buymeacoffee, and now it won't let me go any further without creating a page with my photo, name, link, and a short essay to "Explain how contributions can make a difference in your work" and just no! All I want to do is set up a small monthly donation and be able to manage that in the future!

Global Solutions to Non-Convex Functional Constrained Problems with Hidden Convexity

Abstract: Constrained non-convex optimization is fundamentally challenging, as global solutions are generally intractable and constraint qualifications may not hold. However, in many applications, including safe policy optimization in control and reinforcement learning, such problems possess hidden convexity, meaning they can be reformulated as convex programs via a nonlinear invertible transformation. Typically such transformations are implicit or unknown, making the direct link with the convex program impossible. On the other hand, (sub-)gradients with respect to the original variables are often accessible or can be easily estimated, which motivates algorithms that operate directly in the original (non-convex) problem space using standard (sub-)gradient oracles. In this work, we develop the first algorithms to provably solve such non-convex problems to global minima. First, using a modified inexact proximal point method, we establish global last-iterate convergence guarantees with $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(\varepsilon^{-3})$ oracle complexity in non-smooth setting. For smooth problems, we propose a new bundle-level type method based on linearly constrained quadratic subproblems, improving the oracle complexity to $\widetilde{\mathcal{O}}(\varepsilon^{-1})$. Surprisingly, despite non-convexity, our methodology does not require any constraint qualifications, can handle hidden convex equality constraints, and achieves complexities matching those for solving unconstrained hidden convex optimization.

We're gathering momentum for slipmux, a transport of #CoAP over serial ports. That specification allows #embedded developers on simple boards that just have a UART to use the same tools with it as for talking to devices across the Internet.

Just a reminder:
Each of you ought to take a look at your state's "unclaimed property" website. You may find something owed to you or to someone you know.
The amounts can be trivial or they can be large - and you won't know until you check.
Usually getting the funds owed to you is as simple as filling out a government form on a web page (and perhaps submitting something that proves you are who you say you are.)

The joys of running #proprietaryGarbage expecting an FHS environment and whatever other shenanigans on :nixos: #NixOS...
If anyone has any idea how to get the CEWE Fotobuch software to behave on NixOS, be my guest:
This is genuinely terrifying. Google Scholar is pushing "AI Powered Scholar Search."
What's scariest about this is that it will almost certainly turn up results that feel *right* -- they'll mention relevant topics and let a researcher craft a perfectly unassailable reference list.
But what it will prevent the researcher from doing is the actual research of finding relevant publications: discovering connections, framing questions, identifying contrasts…
