Starting from Firefox 131, released yesterday, text fragments are now cross-browser, aka Baseline (newly available). You can also style the highlighted content with the ::target-text pseudo-element. I’m still getting over the #:~:text= thing, but it might be a good moment to start using it.

What is the role of serendipity in scientific discovery? Deutschlandfunk made a podcast episode about this question, and interviewed Jim van Belzen on his (accidental) ragworm research: deutschlandfunkkultur.de/zufal…

Did you - like Van Belzen - stumble upon a serendipitous finding yourself during your research? Then share it! For our special issue on Serendipity in Science, we are still looking for anecdotes! Share your story here: journal.trialanderror.org/pub/…

@60sRefugee @iamgerardthomas What you're missing is that these generative AI systems are trained on images made by other artists and used without compensation (i.e. stolen work, considering very few artists would grant such permissions for any reasonable price), so the irony is palpable.

@alan @60sRefugee @iamgerardthomas The term money laundering; taking stolen money and running it through obfuscation so you can use it?

It’s content laundering.



Successful YouTube creators have less bling for their backgrounds.

As Google reengineers its cost base, The Information reports that the gold “Play Button” plaque handed out for reaching one million subscribers is now around 30 percent smaller, weighing just one pound compared to the previous four pounds.

Yemen’s armed forces hit military posts deep inside Israel with three winged Quds 5 cruise missiles, military spokesperson Yahya Saree said.

“The missiles successfully reached their targets, while the enemy remains silent about the results of the operation,” Saree stated.

“We will not hesitate in broadening our military operations against the Israeli enemy and who is behind it until the aggression against Gaza and Lebanon ends,” Saree added.
