Reminds me of when Microsoft and Sony where going head to head with consoles, and Microsoft tried to introduce a marketplace for selling or sharing a game. The resulting advert from Sony; One guys says to the other "Here just take it" and passes a physical disk to his friend. That ad, basically sunk the idea with consumers.

> there is no reason to address the myriad reasons, especially ones that cannot be addressed such as differences in innate ability or the parents you have.

Why not?

I think most people tend to overestimate the degree of variation in innate ability among the general population. Most of what might typically be considered "innate ability" is actually a result of factors that are not innate at all.

To your second example - Do you really assume that nothing can be done to mitigate the potentially negative impact of having the "wrong" parents? I have a family member who works in education and spends lots of time working on that specific problem.

Creating an educational system that works for the majority of people, as opposed to the elite, doesn't have to be a destructive, or even particularly controversial, endeavor.

you'll actually need to host it yourself. It's going to be a one-to-one relationship between mailboxes and briar users on purpose to avoid centralization of any kind (think techies hosting mailboxes for many friends etc.). To make hosting rather easy, the mailbox can be run on a spare (old) Android device, ideally plugged into a power outlet and connected to Wifi. Setup will include installing the app onto the Android and going through a pairing procedure by scanning a QR-code from the mailbox app from the briar settings screen.

I’d sure be lost if I had to listen to the entirety of a manpage or dmesg output or /var/log/messages read out by voice. Some of those could take hours to read out. Nothing actually trivial about *nix command output. Just sometimes terse.
Perhaps what value they're getting out of voice services is not what you think it is.

I find it perplexing that voice assistants actually seem worse at basic functions than they were ten years ago. I remember being amazed how well it could interpret requests to set reminders with flexible language options. Now google gets it wrong so often I've nearly stopped using it.
I've had a support ticket open since Saturday for 2FA. (Didn't try sooner than that, but the timing of when it stopped working suggests it's possibly related to Elon's tweet.) No response on my support ticket and it still doesn't work.

As you've already done, you can call it a "message", I call it a "post". We don't need every social media site to strictly require their own bespoke terminology merely for the sake of branding.
This is a real problem, though the problem is not technical, it's purely contract/legal: Disney+, AppleTV (all content providers actually) refuse to allow third parties to know what you've watched, because viewer data is closely protected

That's why an opensource ToS-violating assistant has chances to work better than legal ones, they can just scrape all those infos off internet. But then, once you go into that grey area, you just end up pirating content already.
Hindus do that. With carts and everything, and their connection to mediterrenean is pretty sparse. During Lunar new year people carry dragon effigy.

The idea is that you aren't giving away any kind of biometric data, just using your fingerprint/face-unlock/etc to "unlock" the key used for signing the request locally.

It could also be implemented in a way where it's behind a password instead of biometrics. Yubikey and the likes already use this method.
The big issue is that there's no clearly defined interface for users. What commands are possible? Nobody knows. So people default to the most obvious things like setting a timer. Is it possible to setup your own commands and build your own work flows? AFAIK, no. So the tech is essentially dead in the water until companies fundamentally rethink what they're trying to do with voice assistants.

No, I asked the specific question: Why did Larry Ellison invest in Twitter?

It was a terrible business deal if your concern was profit. Even Musk says he overpaid, and the previous investors of Twitter were clearly eager to get out of that investment, going to court to force Musk to buy it.

If you read the text messages between Musk and Ellison, which came out as part of the trial, Ellison was offering Musk basically any amount of money, a blank check. Why?

> isn't this actually mostly spot-on

Only if you accept the initial premise, which is nonsense. The article is based on the idea of HTML as an interchange format, something that's only the case in dysfunctional situations (scraping data illegally, or a horrific breakdown in communication/collaboration between two business entities).

Sure, there was a for a time a big focus on XHTML as a "hybrid" format - interweaving Microformats/RDF & other machine-readable metadata into display documents to give them a dual purpose, but even with that, the primary purpose was always human display, not machine-readability.

HTML isn't designed as, nor primarily intended to be, a machine interchange format. And espousing such hyperbole as "HTML is a strategic dead end" based on it not meeting a use-case for which it was never designed, is harmful.

> The main thrust in this article is that scraping HTML display markup is a terrible form of data interchange between systems.

This is a perfect summary. Would it be nice if more HTML websites were more machine-readable - sure. For me, a hacker, it would make life nicer. But should it be a pre-requisite for business transactions & e-commerce to function - absolutely not.
There are algorithms that are more efficient than the typical speed cubing methods, but are based on large amounts of computation, rather than pattern matching, thus unfit for humans.

Zotero [0] is very good. it:

- is open source and well maintained.

- could be used both online and locally.

- offers both folders and tags for organization.

- could also be used for your pdf-annotation and generic web bookmarking needs.

While browsing sites like amazon and open library, you can capture the current page/book with all its metadata (author,year...) directly to Zotero in one click.

> The "best" format for reading books is epub

Not really.

Practically, for many pirate ebooks you can find in both ePub and PDF you better choose PDF because it looks and reads like the original while the ePub version probably is almost garbage with broken tables, code quotes etc.

As a format FB2 is better than ePub because it separates the content from the view while ePub mixes them heavily. I usually convert ePub to FB2 before reading just to force my PocketBook reader to use its default typesetting instead of that hardcoded in the ePub file. FB2 also is much more convenient to process programmatically and it defines more meaningful metadata than ePub.

Or a watch?
Yes. 55:45.

And normally that would be a reasonable answer - if you had a situation where you could ask the same question every year for an irrecoverable change that would be chaos. The question is how long the "term" should be - 5 years is the term for a national government so that would be too short, but 15 years, 30 years?

However I certainly have sympathy with the idea of a new referendum

1) Leaving the EU was a material change, one which factored significantly into the 2014 debate

2) The SNP, who's entire reason to exist is for Scottish Independence, has won significant vote share (45% off a 68% turnout in 2019, 48% off 63% in 2022)

3) Devo Max hasn't worked out the way it was promised in 2014

Certainly if the SNP were to get a majority of votes in 2024 then there could be a mandate for another referendum based on the new reality. I suspect the SNP would not want to wait that long though because 2024 would also likely herald the departure of the tory government and potentially a swing back towards no (remain part of UK).

The larger problem is that when a country is roughly evenly divided (50-50, 48-52, 45-55), there are no good answers. Unfortunately the UK as a whole has set a public precedent that a single poll of 52% off 72% is all you need to cause massive constitutional change to the point of removing peoples citizenship.

When you have a situation where you have a sustained 2:1 or 3:1 majority in favour of a referendum for years at a time, like in Catalonia, then there's certainly no excuse not to have one, and if the result is a supermajority like Catalonia probably would be then it should be progressed. With Scotland though, opinion polls on independence are where they were in 2014. There was a "no" surge in 2017, a "yes" surge in 2020, but neither were sustained.

It's quite plausible that Yes/Independence would win. It's also plausible that No/Remain would win. If No won 55:45 again, it wouldn't make the Yes side satisfied, and wouldn't be the end of discussion. If Yes won 55:45, then the No side wouldn't be satisfied, although the change would be done.

It's quite plausible the margin would be even closer that those.

It's also worth noting that the SNP have not managed to get a majority of votes in any election (in 2015 they got 49.97%, but since then their %age has dropped off)
Expect the person who tried to do it as well (first telling me OnceCell and RWLock would work) in the end could not get it working either and gave up in half a hour. In the end I moved on, I still program in rust, but it's not a good language when you have to work on the memory level and avoid copying data, even with unsafe, which is sad because unsafe could be more powerful if it actually gave you the power to actually instruct the borrow checker at the end of unsafe block what the state of things should be now, when it can't figure it out itself.

I've been using these ever since they came out. I've tried.. enough of them, including the open source, self hosted things. I have a tonne of them all over the place, and after almost 8 years of this, here are all of my use cases. To be clear, I just don't get why people care:

1. Play me music or a podcast (this fails a shockingly high amount)

2. Call person X

3. Covert unit to unit

4. Turn devices on or off

5. Timer set

6. Reminder set

7. What time does Shabbat (my Sabbath) start.

All of the above can be done with my phone, so there's really no point in them - for me.

Assuming that this means certain features on Intel CPUs are only available after purchasing a one-time license: sure why not, masks become increasingly expensive so it might make sense to have a single one and differentiate via software. We could finally have ECC in consumer hardware.

Assuming this means one needs to buy a license in perpetuity every year: fuck no.
If we’re going to change the timestamp let’s do it correctly this time and start counting from 0001-01-01 (like “ticks” in C#) or 0000-01-01 because adding another number (1970) for other people to have to learn about and memorize is bad design and unnecessary overhead and one subgroup of one profession naming a whole time epoch was kind of pretentious. It would also have the added benefit of being hard to confuse a value in this timestamp with a Unix timestamp.
