Looks to me like you guys are talking past one another.

disillusioned is taking the position of The Internet. If we allow these things, things will just continue to get worse and worse. Standards exist for a reason, Gresham's Law, and the rest of it. (Including some wonderful pleas for civility and kindness that I completely agree with)

raxxorrax is taking the position of The Human Species. We have survived and evolved because we are a wild, aggressive, curious species. Whatever boundaries there are, we will push them as hard as we can. Life will find a way.

Both of you folks are correct. This is the crux of the problem with technologies like YouTube (or books, for that matter). If YouTube is a publisher, then it has an opinion, a political position, standards for what it thinks is civil, and so forth. That's great, but there's no freaking way in hell I'm going to agree to having a handful of companies decide that kind of thing for the entire planet. The idea alone is insane. I just read yesterday about people getting warnings from Twitter from things they posted 5, 6 years ago that somebody in a dictatorship found offensive last week. It's ludicrous.

If, however, they're a public forum, then they should just shut up and stop looking at the things that appear on their site. The public forum -- books -- require chaos, disorder, and evolutionary pressure. Can't fight mother nature. Life will evolve.

But they can't do that, can they? Because they're monetizing all of that content. So they have to keep close track of each little piece of everything.

Now they're stuck.

They want to have it both ways, and we feeble-minded folks watching this spectacle end up choosing one or the other. It's a sucker's game, and no matter which side we choose, it doesn't work. That's because the premise is broken. BigTech wants to be two things at the same time. Picking one of those things and arguing with folks who pick the other one just plays into their schtick and keeps the gravy train rolling along.

I agree that giving money, contraceptives, free (voluntary) sterilization and education would be a good idea, but to make the money contingent on either sterilization, the use of birth control or even a promise to not have children would have a disproportionate effect on the underprivileged and would lead to the effects of eugenics based on economic station.

Qt framework has system in place for several plural forms, so plik/pliki/plików problem is solved, and quite elegantly. If the application programmer gives a damn, that is.

There's also a way to add context to the strings for translation, so that you can see this "like" is used in this meaning, and that other "like" is used in another meaning.

But there's no generic solution to "z/ze" problem as far as I know, you need to do it by hand if you want correct messages. And most of the time programmers don't even realize they need to parametrize such stuff, so the systems don't do any good :)
Vue.js with Constructor Pattern
Turkish being a member of ural-altaic language family, just like Finnish, suffers from similar problems. Google Translate improved much over the years yet it still generates laughable text at best. Stemmers used to create show-stopper word stems (don't really know the current situation).

Although, it imported a lot of technical terms from various european languages, making technical texts seem to be more legible due to lack of composited words in these contexts.

similarly from tweets:
yiyecek = food
yiyecek miydi = will he/she eat that (2nd word is not a separate word, just a conjunction that is written separately)

göz = eye
gözcü = scout
gözlük = glasses
gözlükçü = glass salesman
gözcülük = scouting
gözlükçüler = glass salesmen
gözlükçüydüler = they were glass salesmen
gözlükçü müydüler = were they glass salesmen?

also an all time classic:
çekoslavakyalılaştıramadıklarımızdan mısınız = are you one of those people whom we tried unsuccessfully to assimilate into a Czechoslovakian citizen?
Hi there,

Constructor Pattern is nothing new, but - based on our experience - a lot of projects that we agreed to take care of and fix were operating on plain jsons.

We wrote an article about how we use it in our Vue.js code. It improved our code quality significantly and saved ourselves a ton of debugging. Simple, but powerful.

Take a look how we're dealing with it.

Scuttlebutt has one big no-no for me:
It isn't possible to edit or delete a post, reply, or interaction. That means that you're sharing your complete history with everyone you connect to, without any control on the data. That's not how I personally want to deal with friends and other contact, and that's where the similitude with "real life" ends; nobody share their complete history of content with all their friends, and friends of their friends, when meeting in a pub.

That's a shame, I really like the focus on developing local contacts, and the project has some good ideas.
I'm pretty torn on this as an American living in Europe (Estonia) where there is a robust government system for health record storage. Whenever I go to a doctor my health record is updated online and I can log in anytime to see it or to see who accessed it (only very specific people have access like my doc). I think it's hugely useful, just an example, I recently had to travel urgently to Africa for work but had no idea where my vaccine records were from the U.S. since I have lived in half a dozen cities with even more doctors with my records spread across them in no central database so I could enter Kenya. In Estonia that problem wouldn't have ever happened, I can log into my console and print the doc. The fact that a private company needs to build this infrastructure out is a shame but if it's going to be any major tech company, I guess I'm glad it's Apple

I think this is an argument you could reasonably make if you give your money to web-sites that you find valuable.

Otherwise, the argument seems to be a case of "I don't like the way you got money/attention out of me", or "I want someone else to pay for the content I consume".
Maybe, but subscriptions costs have also been rising for years, while at the same time academia has also started paying, higher and higher, publishing fees.

I wonder what an efficient car delivery service could cost?

A car transporter carries 11 cars and can drive say 500 miles per day at a cost of $500 per day (including driver, fuel, and vehicle rental).

If the average delivery distance from factory to customer is 1500 miles, then transport cost works out to $136. Add to that the 'last mile delivery' which is probably going to involve a $20 per hour employee driving to the customers premises, doing a 2 hour training and handover process, and catching an uber home. Call that 4 hours, or $80 + $30 for the Uber.

Total delivery cost with an efficient delivery network could be $246.

Assume a 20% 'failure rate' (ie. where the customer rejects the car), and in those cases double the cost (returning the vehicle) and fold it into the amount the other customers have to pay, and you arrive at $369

Prolog is actually much closer to the computer science mindset than the statistical machine learning algorithms that are so popular right now. The kind of mathematics required to understand it are already in the computer science student's toolbox- discrete, combinatorial maths and logic.

The lack of toolkits and frameworks like in javascript, say, is the result of poor adoption, not its cause.

On the contrary, people are absolutely desperate to show that ML isn't the ONLY answer to some things.

This article shows how by following a number of logical steps (and explaining how the algorithms work), you can achieve numberplate recognition.

These techniques have been used for DECADES. They work on machines your ML model likely wont fit on. In some cases they are faster. In some cases they are slower. In some cases they are more accurate, and in some cases they are not.

If you think ML is the magic bullet to any task you've really disqualified yourself from the set of people who ought to be asked about these things.

There is also Doom Emacs [1] which provides Vim experience out-of-the-box. It also comes with a fantastic theme.

I've been using Vi/Vim for more than two decades now. Doom made me feel at home. I used to envy Emacs all these nice features such as Org Mode, Magit and even the ability to use Lisp to configure your environment. Now it's the best of both worlds.

I just wish Emacs' onboarding process / cohesiveness was as good as in VS Code. It would be a dream come true. ;)

I have my LEAF financed because it has a zero interest rate loan. I will end up paying that loan off shortly, because the loan is forcing me to carry collision and comprehensive insurance that I wouldn't otherwise buy, especially now that the car is 4 years old. (Dropping that will increase my exposure a small amount, so the difference between that increase in exposure and what insurance costs me is essentially the financing cost.)

On iOS, the keyboard just suggests compounds. This works for those you use often. Another option is to choose a prefix, then backspace (over the space), then add to the prefix.

Example compound word: Schleifmaschinenverleih (word boundaries: Schleif'maschinen'verleih)

You begin with "Schl" which might suggest "Schleifer", then you delete "er", add "m", and if you're lucky, you get "Schleifmaschine".

"Schleifen" means to grind. "Maschine" means machine. So "Schleifmaschine" is grinding machine, and the disappearance of "en" is a grammatical artifact. "Verleih" means rental (as in a company that does rentals).

Originally, a main reason for cargo ships to abandon sails was more efficient dock logistics. Construction of cargo sail did not stop until well after the more speed sensitive military and passenger applications had converted to steam engines, even to steam turbines. Late cargo sail like the giant American schooners got by with surprisingly small crews (though it could be argued that they were too thinly crewed for reliable operation).

Modern concepts like https://skysails.info/ hardly interfere with deck access at all.

Seconds of Knowledge
I agree. Right now the only way for universities or funders to know whether other researchers have thoroughly looked at and approved of the work of someone they're considering for tenure or a grant, is to look at whether their work has the stamp of approval of being published in a "reputable" journal. We need an alternative to that.

(Full disclosure: I'm working on such an alternative. It just launched, but if any of you come across research you think it's good, do consider publicly endorsing it using https://plaudit.pub/extension/. It's all open data, and non-profit.)
"unidentified positive feedback loops in play"

Ocean acidification, thawing tundra, burning lands.

We could stop all human activities tomorrow and those processes will continue to accelerate, releasing ever more greenhouse gases.

And if the oceans warm much more, methane clathrate will be released. We could easily hit 2000ppm. Conditions not since since the Eocene period.

We need to actively secure and capture CO2 and methane to stabilize our climate, much less reverse the warming.
> You can't make decisions at the voting booth without being informed.

True, but that doesn't mean traditional "professional, reliable news sources" are the best (or only) way for people to gain the necessary information. Especially after the massive merging of media businesses over the last few decades, the reliability of these "professionals" has suffered.

> This is such an obvious harm to the fabric of democracy.

You have that backwards; it's surveillance capitalism - that is currently ruining democracy[1].

>that enables the freedom for the child to go outside whatsoever

But this is not comparable to "going outside" at all. This is "seeking out and going onto private property and seeing stuff you shouldn't". The logic that a company is comparable to public spaces doesn't hold water. YouTube is not a public space any more than Pornhub or 4chan is. If 4chan wanted to cater to 10 year olds (yes yes I know) then the way to do so would clearly not be to remove content not suitable to kids but to create a separate place for those kids.
> tietokone = knowledge machine (literally) = computer

This is somewhat beside the point, but although in everyday speech "tieto" usually means knowledge in the sense of knowing a fact or skill, it can also be taken as "information", which seems more likely to have been the original intent of the term.

Nevertheless, pretty much every elementary computing course in Finnish begins by stating that "the computer doesn't actually know anything". :)

Turkish is also highly regular and has only one irregular verb. The main problem arises from morphological complexity. Because of these well defined rules that change the rich set of suffixes (>100 different), analysis of a lot of words ends up with many possible parses, it is hard to resolve this ambiguity.

I can't speak Japanese, but if it is also morphologically rich, it should face similar problems.

There are a couple points to be made on this.

1. This is less of a "AI" issue, more of a UI/UX for specialized tools issue. Dreamweaver comes to mind especially; the moment you are trying to get something that can be flexible and accommodate different needs it is mostly about learning the tools. Often, the result is that learning the tool itself is almost harder than learning to code.

2. Any code that you generate via AI will most probably be crap. A huge part of coding is making it understandable and easy to touch later on; how can you do this without AI that has a proper understanding of the worlds (probably on the level of a AGI).
Does this support $\LaTeX$ code in the titles and comments?
It might be nice if the US became the privacy state in contrast to the proliferation of the surveillance states. It is a naïve speculation but, by coining a phrase, maybe we can get a few politicians to try to nudge the government toward a greater respect of personal freedoms and a sense of protected privacies with respect to this particular issue.

With pay-as-u-go rental apps/services becoming reasonably common, it might be worthwhile leaning on this to take care of test driving. Similarly priced cars here go for €10 an hour. I'd try it just for curiosity, and I have no immediate intentions of purchasing a Tesla (or anything).

If you are looking at the iron-ore-2-consumer chain of auto manufacturing for meaningful savings, it's hard to ignore the factory-2-consumer steps. Ultimately, that's a useful efficiency.

Now... "cutting out the middle-man" has a history of being much harder than it looks. You'll be following a well ridden path lined with skeletons. Just look at the factory-2-consumer markups on food, clothes...

Still... I think it's worth trying. If test drives are the bottleneck, it should be solveable somehow.
