Can you give a formulation of the problem you are trying to answer?

To find the largest number that is computable by a program of at most 64 bits in a non-cheating language; i.e. one that's not geared toward producing large numbers.

Do you have a mathematical formulation, or?

Ultimately you seem to pick a random definition of computing and size and then work with that?


"Computable" has a well-known standard definition in this context, meaning a computable function[1]. In a given model of computation, a computable function is one for which an algorithm exists which computes the value of the function for every value of its argument. For example, the successor function adds 1 to an input number, and is computable. The halting problem (determine whether a program given in the argument halts) is not computable.

The article described why the choices were neither random nor particularly arbitrary.

Does not work nice with code blocks. But here's how you can add Javascript Snippets to every webpage via Tampermonkey:

  // ==UserScript==
  // @name         JS Snippets
  // @match        *://*/*
  // @grant        GM_registerMenuCommand
  // ==/UserScript==
  
  GM_registerMenuCommand("Set font to default", () => {
      document.querySelectorAll("body *:not(pre *)").forEach(el => {
          el.style.fontFamily = "nonExistentFont";
      });
  });
you can run them by clicking the Tampermonkey icon and picking the action you want. You can add website dependent snippets by checking the location before you register the menu items, it's dynamic.

There is -.-" for exasperation/annoyance

It .. probably does turn the GPS on?

While this is an important question, I don't see the sources mentioning it, what the standards mandate, and how the phones behave.

For example the wiki article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_resource_location_servic... describes the protocol as using the GPS and not as getting the location info from Android.


I think they implied the following argument, or something along the lines

  1. Assume that Amazon knows the future
  2. Then spending $250M on Rings of Power is a bad decision
  3. Therefore paying $28M to Trump is also just a bad decision, and not a bribery
I personally don't think that 1 holds, or that 2 implies 3.

It definitely misleads the reader for the reasons you mentioned.

These types of sentences are called garden-path sentences. You can read some typical examples here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden-path_sentence#Examples


That's not the reason, but the excuse. The reason Firefox doesn't have jxl is that it is funded by Google, and someone at Google decided that it has to die.

Also the parent comment was about that you really shouldn't just let a random Russian guy run any javascript on any website you visit, that's stupid.

Also also, am I missing something, or Firefox extensions are broken, there is no way to limit an extension to websites (allow or disallow), or even just to check the source code of an extension?


The link I posted shows that Jpeg-XL will come to Firefox, and that that same Google is the one making that possible by writing a secure implementation.

> That's not the reason, but the excuse. The reason firefox doesn't have jxl is that it is funded by Google, and someone at Google decided that it has to die.

So what, you think they were just lying when they said that they'll ship JXL when it has a Rust implementation? You think Mozilla devs were just bluffing when they were working directly with the JXL devs over the last year to make sure everything would work right?


No, I don't think they can withhold support if it's a no-brainer to support it. But they also tried everything they could to not support it.

If you often click these types of articles and they all say XLibre, then it is probably the best tool for what you want to achieve.


So you think that the Canadians or the Danish love you for your skin color(?) but you don't do the same, and just threaten them and take their lands? This doesn't make any sense.


Remember how Denmark supported the illegal creation of Kosovo without a UN resolution, on the basis of self-concocted EU rules? Today they’re being subjected to something similar. Thank you Donald Trump for holding these hypocrites to account
