What Is HTML | HTML क्या है और कैसे सीखें?

What Is HTML HTML क्या है – What is HTML in Hindi. अगर आप Web Development और Designing के Field में आना चाहते है, तो आपको इसकी Starting HTML सीखने से करनी चाहिये। यह एक Basic चीज है, इस Field में आगे बढ़ने के लिये। हालाँकि HTML सीखना किसी Programming language जैसे – Java, PHP, JavaScript, Python, C, etc. सीखने के मुकाबले काफी आसान है। चूँकि यह एक Basic चीज है, तो इस Field में आगे बढ़ने के लिये…

(if the archives button is supposed to show something significant then it may be broke? (it's showing a "hmm we're having trouble finding that site, cannot connect to the server at c.") if it is not then please disregard this entirely.)

it IS supposed to show the blog archive and i think it did at some point but its broken now and i do not have nearly enough coding knowledge to fix it loll, now it's honestly just there as some extra decoration bc taking it out would 1. involve deleting some code which i want to Avoid now that the thing's actually public & i won't be the only one it breaks for anymore and 2. the desktop's already so empty i dont want it to feel Even Emptier lmao

y'see the thing about that is that it looks very cool and neat and i've learned a lot from working on it but it is so very much held together with duct tape

yesterday i was working on it again & completely broke the ability to interact with the posts directly . i do not have any idea what i did <3 but i managed to last-minute fix an issue that was bothering me for MONTHS (i started putting this together in like. fucking january) so it's an okay tradeoff i think

Every time you happen to come on my dashboard I'll send you and ask and something cursed, this time and adult coloring book.

Here I'll make myself be gone now. ~ local pocket dragon is still revamping her characters

… HOT DAMN THORN IS HOT

Well honestly all of them are if we being real

Now I ain’t know adult coloring books had it like that!!! I’d say I want one for myself but I wouldn’t be coloring em cause I’d be too hornily distracted LMFAO

I have a huge problem!

Tonight, for funises, I've decided to watch a 'How to code in HTML' tutorial (The one I'm watching is almost a decade old and most likely outdated but it's fine.). However, when I tested out the code in the video, it loaded onto Opera.

('2014_fishshop.html' is the name of the file and it's written in my hopefully-not-bugged [Microsoft] Notepad app.)

Now, this post is not meant to insult Opera fans or claim that it is bad browser and its users should be sent to Super Hell or anything like that but let's just say I had a mini meltdown.

I do not want Opera on my desktop.

My younger sibling practically forced me to download it, claiming it is a good browser despite my general disinterest, and I had deleted it months ago. Cleared it from my trash and everything. However, for some reason, despite my attempts at deleting it, it keeps reappearing like a fucking ghost.

This is most evident when my computer restarts and Opera boots up unprompted and from no-where but, when the HTML file loaded onto the browser, that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

(The only file of Opera I have on my desktop, which is my practice HTML file copied from the above mentioned tutorial.)

(What the loaded file looks like. I guess this is what I get for using a decade-old tutorial)

So, can anyone please explain why this is happening and how I can finally scrub Opera off my desktop?

My best guess is that Opera GX (A browser that I basically never use and is collecting dust) is somehow involved but I have no clue what is going on.

Also, if anybody has any probably-not-outdated HTML tutorial suggestions, please let me know. I would genuine appreciate it ˄·͈༝·͈˄

similar to the greentext stuff - i was visiting with my neighbors and their grandkids were around, and I said to this eight year old, "Hey, you wanna know something cool? I was playing the game when the Endermen came out." and his eyes went wide, like this kid looked like i told him i landed on the moon. His grandma thought it was really funny, and she said she has no idea what i'm talking about, but her grandbabies do, and that's incredible to her.

oh that's fun lmao, when minecraft & that update's existed for more than your whole life, and yknow being that young and like Next Year fr is this huge time scale away, a couple of years is a quarter of your life thus far and like maybe nigh half of the part of your life you actually have longterm memories for....i was checking out this dev's blog's archives about a:tdd's release in 2010 & in one entry they compared the implicitly Roughly concurrent release of Minecraft and i was like hey whoah. forever primarily being a game i've Heard Of more than any more direct exposure so i had no precise sense of [before minecraft release] [after minecraft release] Year 0 there but it's like for sure back in thee day when minecraft was a new thing, huh

you would not believe the amount of website development css bullshit i had learned in the process of wanting to format those fake android text message screenshots exclusively through code and not an image, while also!!! having it look readable with the custom css disabled. (as it would be when the fic is downloaded etc etc).

plus, you know. im a huge stickler for accessibility. and you can't ctrl+f an image.

speaking of: theres not a single image involved! even the icons are shaped exclusively through css code, something that i previously didnt even know was a thing. i discovered that working on this, and it seems like a weirdly pointless option especially in a world where you can just embed an icon sheet and use that, BUT it is extremely handy in restrictive environments like ao3 that only allow limited html/css.

im not a huge fan of using external links in fics... as a longtime internet user, linkrot is a real problem. which means im not a big fan of using images in fics. its... just... its not very archival!! and i think that defeats the purpose of the whole dang place!!!! (this is my Hot Take, and also a Hill I'd Die On)

anyway big ups to mimzy for entertaining my complaints about embedding screenshots into their fic and using fancy css workskins instead. and also writing a good fic in a unique semi-meta POV.

the hard sell rules which is why i went through all this trouble, if you are a fic-reader consider reading this mjf and max caster fic.

since im an image-person who likes posting images here is a screenshot of my test environment with placeholder text (very in character) and also what it looks like with creator styles turned off

<title>Why do we need closing tags, in the first place? </title>

<body>

<p>my understanding of html opening and closing tags</p>

<p>i once chatted with someone who typed a lot like this no capitalization at the beginning no punctuation at the end or any punctuation really just long spaces after each sentence not easy to read is it it's readable but it looks weird i think tags work like capitals and periods for browsers the opening tag works like a capital and the closing tag works like a period some browsers seem to be designed to display content without closing tags but not all of them they want to be able to read the information clearly they cry out please don't chat with us like this give us tags so we can actually read what you're saying</p>

very glad i made a timeline for my wof ocs. in addition to already being a night/ice hybrid, i could conceivably make compassion thrice-moonborn...

i'm not going to, i already decided she'd hatch noticeably earlier in the year than the dragonets of destiny and also giving her powers would mess things up slightly for other reasons, but i could give her powers and have it make sense, which is fun

In other news I hate the tumblr themes I gotta learn to code

i am quote "the 9 thirty am super hero" because i roll into work two hours after everyone starts and then fix the problems they send me in minutes, mostly because im also responsible for the problems existing

[dravidious]

My Firefox at some point developed an issue where after a computer restart it would take like 10 minutes to start working. Like I would open it and it would open and be able to do some stuff, but trying to go to any webpage just would not happen until like 10 minutes later and then it'd be fine. A similar thing would happen if I closed it, opened some other program like a game, and then opened Firefox again, though not as extreme. I figured it was doing something like loading a bunch of stuff into RAM maybe? And then opening another program would overwrite the RAM so it would have to do it again? idk what exactly was happening. I tried clearing my browsing history to see if that would help and it didn't, and I didn't want to mess with the cookies, so I just gave up and accepted it.

Then, when I was working on an HTML game with a save system, I needed to track down where the files were getting saved, and I found the "default" storage folder which had ~2.5 GB of data in it, including ~1.5 GB of tumblr cache data. I skimmed through the 500+ folders and deleted everything that didn't seem important (why does random.org need to store data on my computer?). It took a long time, but I eventually deleted like 90% of the folders and got it down to 200 MB. It was mostly just out of anger at the wasted space; why are all these sites that I've visited once to read an article storing crap on my computer!? Probably just for advertisement tracking and garbage like that. But I was hoping that maybe, just maybe, this was what was taking Firefox so long to load.

After I booted up my computer this morning, it took Firefox 30 seconds to open tumblr.

What kind of bubble is AI?

My latest column for Locus Magazine is "What Kind of Bubble is AI?" All economic bubbles are hugely destructive, but some of them leave behind wreckage that can be salvaged for useful purposes, while others leave nothing behind but ashes:

https://locusmag.com/2023/12/commentary-cory-doctorow-what-kind-of-bubble-is-ai/

Think about some 21st century bubbles. The dotcom bubble was a terrible tragedy, one that drained the coffers of pension funds and other institutional investors and wiped out retail investors who were gulled by Superbowl Ads. But there was a lot left behind after the dotcoms were wiped out: cheap servers, office furniture and space, but far more importantly, a generation of young people who'd been trained as web makers, leaving nontechnical degree programs to learn HTML, perl and python. This created a whole cohort of technologists from non-technical backgrounds, a first in technological history. Many of these people became the vanguard of a more inclusive and humane tech development movement, and they were able to make interesting and useful services and products in an environment where raw materials – compute, bandwidth, space and talent – were available at firesale prices.

Contrast this with the crypto bubble. It, too, destroyed the fortunes of institutional and individual investors through fraud and Superbowl Ads. It, too, lured in nontechnical people to learn esoteric disciplines at investor expense. But apart from a smattering of Rust programmers, the main residue of crypto is bad digital art and worse Austrian economics.

Or think of Worldcom vs Enron. Both bubbles were built on pure fraud, but Enron's fraud left nothing behind but a string of suspicious deaths. By contrast, Worldcom's fraud was a Big Store con that required laying a ton of fiber that is still in the ground to this day, and is being bought and used at pennies on the dollar.

AI is definitely a bubble. As I write in the column, if you fly into SFO and rent a car and drive north to San Francisco or south to Silicon Valley, every single billboard is advertising an "AI" startup, many of which are not even using anything that can be remotely characterized as AI. That's amazing, considering what a meaningless buzzword AI already is.

So which kind of bubble is AI? When it pops, will something useful be left behind, or will it go away altogether? To be sure, there's a legion of technologists who are learning Tensorflow and Pytorch. These nominally open source tools are bound, respectively, to Google and Facebook's AI environments:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/18/openwashing/#you-keep-using-that-word-i-do-not-think-it-means-what-you-think-it-means

But if those environments go away, those programming skills become a lot less useful. Live, large-scale Big Tech AI projects are shockingly expensive to run. Some of their costs are fixed – collecting, labeling and processing training data – but the running costs for each query are prodigious. There's a massive primary energy bill for the servers, a nearly as large energy bill for the chillers, and a titanic wage bill for the specialized technical staff involved.

Once investor subsidies dry up, will the real-world, non-hyperbolic applications for AI be enough to cover these running costs? AI applications can be plotted on a 2X2 grid whose axes are "value" (how much customers will pay for them) and "risk tolerance" (how perfect the product needs to be).

Charging teenaged D&D players $10 month for an image generator that creates epic illustrations of their characters fighting monsters is low value and very risk tolerant (teenagers aren't overly worried about six-fingered swordspeople with three pupils in each eye). Charging scammy spamfarms $500/month for a text generator that spits out dull, search-algorithm-pleasing narratives to appear over recipes is likewise low-value and highly risk tolerant (your customer doesn't care if the text is nonsense). Charging visually impaired people $100 month for an app that plays a text-to-speech description of anything they point their cameras at is low-value and moderately risk tolerant ("that's your blue shirt" when it's green is not a big deal, while "the street is safe to cross" when it's not is a much bigger one).

Morganstanley doesn't talk about the trillions the AI industry will be worth some day because of these applications. These are just spinoffs from the main event, a collection of extremely high-value applications. Think of self-driving cars or radiology bots that analyze chest x-rays and characterize masses as cancerous or noncancerous.

These are high value – but only if they are also risk-tolerant. The pitch for self-driving cars is "fire most drivers and replace them with 'humans in the loop' who intervene at critical junctures." That's the risk-tolerant version of self-driving cars, and it's a failure. More than $100b has been incinerated chasing self-driving cars, and cars are nowhere near driving themselves:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/09/herbies-revenge/#100-billion-here-100-billion-there-pretty-soon-youre-talking-real-money

Quite the reverse, in fact. Cruise was just forced to quit the field after one of their cars maimed a woman – a pedestrian who had not opted into being part of a high-risk AI experiment – and dragged her body 20 feet through the streets of San Francisco. Afterwards, it emerged that Cruise had replaced the single low-waged driver who would normally be paid to operate a taxi with 1.5 high-waged skilled technicians who remotely oversaw each of its vehicles:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/03/technology/cruise-general-motors-self-driving-cars.html

The self-driving pitch isn't that your car will correct your own human errors (like an alarm that sounds when you activate your turn signal while someone is in your blind-spot). Self-driving isn't about using automation to augment human skill – it's about replacing humans. There's no business case for spending hundreds of billions on better safety systems for cars (there's a human case for it, though!). The only way the price-tag justifies itself is if paid drivers can be fired and replaced with software that costs less than their wages.

What about radiologists? Radiologists certainly make mistakes from time to time, and if there's a computer vision system that makes different mistakes than the sort that humans make, they could be a cheap way of generating second opinions that trigger re-examination by a human radiologist. But no AI investor thinks their return will come from selling hospitals that reduce the number of X-rays each radiologist processes every day, as a second-opinion-generating system would. Rather, the value of AI radiologists comes from firing most of your human radiologists and replacing them with software whose judgments are cursorily double-checked by a human whose "automation blindness" will turn them into an OK-button-mashing automaton:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/08/23/automation-blindness/#humans-in-the-loop

The profit-generating pitch for high-value AI applications lies in creating "reverse centaurs": humans who serve as appendages for automation that operates at a speed and scale that is unrelated to the capacity or needs of the worker:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/04/17/revenge-of-the-chickenized-reverse-centaurs/

But unless these high-value applications are intrinsically risk-tolerant, they are poor candidates for automation. Cruise was able to nonconsensually enlist the population of San Francisco in an experimental murderbot development program thanks to the vast sums of money sloshing around the industry. Some of this money funds the inevitabilist narrative that self-driving cars are coming, it's only a matter of when, not if, and so SF had better get in the autonomous vehicle or get run over by the forces of history.

Once the bubble pops (all bubbles pop), AI applications will have to rise or fall on their actual merits, not their promise. The odds are stacked against the long-term survival of high-value, risk-intolerant AI applications.

The problem for AI is that while there are a lot of risk-tolerant applications, they're almost all low-value; while nearly all the high-value applications are risk-intolerant. Once AI has to be profitable – once investors withdraw their subsidies from money-losing ventures – the risk-tolerant applications need to be sufficient to run those tremendously expensive servers in those brutally expensive data-centers tended by exceptionally expensive technical workers.

If they aren't, then the business case for running those servers goes away, and so do the servers – and so do all those risk-tolerant, low-value applications. It doesn't matter if helping blind people make sense of their surroundings is socially beneficial. It doesn't matter if teenaged gamers love their epic character art. It doesn't even matter how horny scammers are for generating AI nonsense SEO websites:

https://twitter.com/jakezward/status/1728032634037567509

These applications are all riding on the coattails of the big AI models that are being built and operated at a loss in order to be profitable. If they remain unprofitable long enough, the private sector will no longer pay to operate them.

Now, there are smaller models, models that stand alone and run on commodity hardware. These would persist even after the AI bubble bursts, because most of their costs are setup costs that have already been borne by the well-funded companies who created them. These models are limited, of course, though the communities that have formed around them have pushed those limits in surprising ways, far beyond their original manufacturers' beliefs about their capacity. These communities will continue to push those limits for as long as they find the models useful.

These standalone, "toy" models are derived from the big models, though. When the AI bubble bursts and the private sector no longer subsidizes mass-scale model creation, it will cease to spin out more sophisticated models that run on commodity hardware (it's possible that Federated learning and other techniques for spreading out the work of making large-scale models will fill the gap).

So what kind of bubble is the AI bubble? What will we salvage from its wreckage? Perhaps the communities who've invested in becoming experts in Pytorch and Tensorflow will wrestle them away from their corporate masters and make them generally useful. Certainly, a lot of people will have gained skills in applying statistical techniques.

But there will also be a lot of unsalvageable wreckage. As big AI models get integrated into the processes of the productive economy, AI becomes a source of systemic risk. The only thing worse than having an automated process that is rendered dangerous or erratic based on AI integration is to have that process fail entirely because the AI suddenly disappeared, a collapse that is too precipitous for former AI customers to engineer a soft landing for their systems.

This is a blind spot in our policymakers debates about AI. The smart policymakers are asking questions about fairness, algorithmic bias, and fraud. The foolish policymakers are ensnared in fantasies about "AI safety," AKA "Will the chatbot become a superintelligence that turns the whole human race into paperclips?"

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/27/10-types-of-people/#taking-up-a-lot-of-space

But no one is asking, "What will we do if" – when – "the AI bubble pops and most of this stuff disappears overnight?"
