Traditional masonry construction has the same results in terms of thermal mass. More so, if it's denser and thicker. With the right shading and ventilation it's useful for both temperature extremes.

Considering active heating/cooling as well as passive, the more thermal mass we have in buildings, the better they can act as thermal batteries for surplus renewable energy.

What is your impression of ChatGPT’s responses in French compared to its responses in English? While I haven’t noticed any grammatical mistakes in its Japanese, its Japanese responses seem less lucid and more repetitive than its English. It seems likely that it was trained on more data in English than in other languages, possibly making its English responses better. I don’t know any other languages well enough to judge with confidence, though.

I believe that to be the real, non-surmountable problem.

Newer generations with better hardware and memory protection would have been totally possible.

Virtualization could have taken care of backwards compatibility.

Some practical modern examples include:

- Whdload, which patch and wrap floppy-booted games so that they can run from the harddisk, allowing for returning back to multitasking when done, with optional MMU protection.

- AROS, an AmigaOS-like open source OS, which can run classic Amiga software through reasonably well integrated emulation.

- MorphOS, a PowerPC AmigaOS-like OS with similar slick emulator integration.
I believe the new policy document from the Labour party is trying to put healthcare in the constitution, which would help with this.
> A scam transaction is one where one party would not have committed said transaction had they known the truth. It is an unwilling transaction (aka, scam).

Yes - legally this is fraud.

> An illegal transaction is one where both parties are willing, but the state deems said transaction is illegal under their purview.

And in every single place I know of in the world, fraud is illegal.

Don't waste our time with this.

I find the entire analogy dubious. When I see a link, I don’t know what sort of ads or JS is on the page it leads to. By blocking ads I am not renegotiating any transactions, because I never entered any transaction. If anything, it seems the author of the post thinks it’s okay for website owners to unilaterally dictate the terms of transaction and force visitors into them.

When I buy a banana, I see the price beforehand. With ads on websites it’s more as if upon me taking the banana, the banana seller gained the right to search my pockets and take anything they fancy.

Wait, why AWDLEnabled = YES? Is it like with those Cisco routers, where "do X" was usually done by negating "do inverse-of-X"? E.g. "no interface up foo" to bring down interface "foo".
My think about it is this, Math is a language that allows formal declaration of relationships between different spaces. When I say space I mean any sized dimensional system that has some regularity to it. So you can have scalar values like your age or descriptive values like the kind of things you might find collected from your Facebook page or maybe spatial things like where you are located or how your body is distributed about space. Math let's you say things like "X changes by A amount with respect to Y". It let's you define how the space exists and how it changes. It let's you transform the space from one domain to another. For example a picture is a collection of pixels with RGB values, but when you look at it you see a dog. It's likely there are bits and pieces of the picture that when taken together describe a dog that you could tell us a dog without the picture anymore (four legs, a tail, fur, etc).

I think, as a physicist and a scientist my view of what math is, is very data driven and concept oriented. Others probably have different ideas. I'm not even sure I like the description I've offered here haha. But I tried to keep it as simple as possible.

Then povery is the price. It's not enough that you can do pretty much what you want for a living and make good money but it also has to be available at random towns in the middle of nowhere? My experience is, people are stuck on the past when their area was prosperous. If they're not leaving because they like it there, then what's the problem? Just don't complain about it. Either work to change things there or move to a better place. America as a nation was built by people that kept moving for better opportunities elsewhere.
No way this can make economical sense. Every bit of wafer surface has much more value for transistors than improving thermal performance. The current state with a heat conductive plate atop of the silicon is certainly the best tradeoff, since thermal dissipation is the second most significant way to improve ship performance after actual transistors layout and conductivity.
Sure. To be honest the most interesting cities are the unpopular ones. They tend to have a bigger mix of people, long established communities and lower cost of living.

Once they become “hot” they tend to lose a lot of what makes them unique.

I once wrote a project (that is still in production) that used a graph database. It was definitely a graph workflow and I thought using a graph database was the right solution. I apologize to whoever has to maintain that system now, and if they have not already replaced it with SQLite or PostgreSQL, I hope they will.

>I guess it would be possible to implement as a shared read-only page mapped into each process in a protected environment, but not sure about how the details would look.

The main issue is the passing of pointers to physical memory through exec messages.

Of course, with a flag day and some virtualization to make up for it, it would have been possible to run old software on new hardware and a protected AmigaOS.
Slightly surprised by all of the victim blaming here.

For me, the most egregious behavior comes from those “disruptive” services trying to be “helpful” by using the address form as search instead of taking the address as is.

All of the possible choices invariably lead drivers to the wrong location.

No one at Uber read anyting like “myths programmers believe about addresses” it seems.

Also, my country (Portugal) has a postal code that almost uniquely identifies my house, and both Google Maps and Waze ignore it in favor of hand-wavy parsing of the rest of the address.
There's a book about this called "How to Blow up a Pipeline".

Fun fact: A list with leading markers is simpler to parse than a comma separated one.

If the marker is "-", EBNF might look like this:

leading-marker-list = *("-", element)

Comma separated would look like this:

comma-separated = [ element, *(",", element) ]

This is not meant as an argument for or against; just an observation.

Edit: Amended comma separated EBNF to account for an empty list.

OK, I'm honestly curious, because the idea in my head is this:

Using a VPN to protect you from the dangers of public Wi-Fi is worthless, because HTTPS already does everything VPN companies claim their VPNs do to protect you, such as protecting people from snooping your banking information or redirecting you to some "Wells Fargo But It's A Phishing Frontend" website, because HTTPS provides both encryption and, through certificate verification by way of the browser's own trust store, validation that you're connecting to the domain you think you're connecting to and an MITM attack isn't going on.

If I'm somehow wrong about any part of that, I'd like to know.

This is also a big reason to self-host.

Without this beta github offer: 2-core CPU (x86_64), 7 GB of RAM, 14 GB of SSD space

Your last development machine that was thrown away is so much faster than this (and we do have great tools for administer stuff like this nowadays). Hell, the computer I bought as a student in 2008 is comparable(!) (though it didn't have an SSD). And it will have so much better network connectivity with everything else on your network.

Whenever you hear cloud, realize that the dedicated time you will get (unless you specifically pay for it (in which case it will be more expensive than self-host)) is in the same order the phone you had two generations ago. That is why gmail search sucks. Because they can't afford to really search your messages and can not even do exact matching properly.

So yes, apparently github is fixing this now and if paying for this problem makes sense for you do it. But this is a problem that was partly invented by the cloud in the first place.

The term "VPN service" has become synonymous with "proxy service that allows circumventing region locks that is implemented using VPN". These services are often pretty scammy and have come in the news often for harvesting user data.

These VPN services have little to do with the traditional meaning of a VPN. They don't provide a private network at all, they just use VPN tech to implement a proxy service.

Tailscale is not a "VPN service" in that sense, they actually provide software for setting up a VPN between computers you control.

Here is a system 1 question that ChatGPT fails to answer:

Q: What would happen in the game of Jenga, if the top level of the tower has only a single wooden block and a player would take this block away?

A: In the game of Jenga, the objective is to remove individual blocks from the tower and stack them on top without causing the tower to fall. If the top level of the tower only has a single block and a player removes it, the tower will become unstable and is likely to fall. This would mean that the player who removed the block would lose the game. It's important to carefully consider the placement of each block in Jenga, as making the wrong move can cause the tower to become unstable and ultimately result in a loss.
Looks like they meant unethical.
This helps the individual, but doesn't do much to help the NHS. The NHS is one of the best things about the UK and we need to fight for it. Making big corporation and the super wealthy pay taxes would be a good start.
Search and you'll find various software doing it. If you just want a minimal shell thing for repos themselves, you can fetch a list from GH API for user X and clone them into destination `/home/X/repos` like so:

$ curl -s https://api.github.com/users/X/repos?per_page=100
| jq -r 'map([.name,.clone_url]|@tsv)|.[]'
| xargs -n2 sh -c '[[ -d $0.git ]] || git clone --mirror $1 /home/X/repos/$0.git'

Then you can just put a cronjob to sync them like

$ find /home/X/repos -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -exec sh -c 'cd {} && git remote update' \;

Replace /users/X with /orgs/Y for an org. Pagination for >100 repos is left as an exercise to the reader.

Note that this will create mirror (bare) repos, so if you want to checkout you can e.g. git clone file:///home/users/X/repos/foo.git somewhere else.

Bonus: If you want to have these mirrors available remotely and self-hosted, the official git book lays out your options pretty nicely: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-The-Protoco...

Easiest are probably git protocol (handled by git itself) or "Dumb HTTP" (just server these directories from a static HTTP server)
Exactly.

We keep asking that users must be asked for explicit permissions and granular scopes are for the good and then users themselves skip reading on these permission grants.

Github has always (in my experience) been clear about what permissions are being granted to the site you're signing into, and if you don't agree, you can easily cancel the sign-on flow.
It's further upstream than that, it's the successive cuts to all public service.

This makes GPs the backstop for all social problems in the UK, which eventually spills into the hospitals.
Having some times taken architect like roles, I think the big problem is that architects is a very loaded term, like everything in IT.

You have proper architects, those that design nice diagrams, have proper technical knowledge, and also code, even if small portions when compared with the rest of the team. These I would call proper architects, and tend to explicit mention Technical Architects to make the point.

Then you have the "architects" that do diagrams, spend the time in meetings with customers, plan features per sprint, delegate activities, and so forth. This ones I call managers and always double check if the company isn't using architec as synomim for managers.

At least some shops are more honest, by making use of business analyst or solution architect as synomim for high level management work.

> The NHS has effectively collapsed.

Yep. A lot of people don't realise it because the loudest voices are often Brits that happen to live in locations where it has not collapsed yet, but there is basically no health service in England for a huge proportion of the population. It is only a matter of time before resources get diverted away from those locations where it still happens to be good to try and patch up the failed areas, but that won't solve the problem. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before total collapse in all locations.

Currently there is a lot of ignorance about it. People hear that it's bad but because they happen to live in an area where it happens to be good they can't really accept it. Seriously ill or dead people don't have the energy or motivation to spend time complaining about it on social media or to the press.

There is also an ideological problem for both sides. Both Labour supporters and socialists do not want to admit that the NHS is failing, because they know that if it goes then it is very unlikely to ever return, and they want to generally support nationalisation. On the other hand, Tories don't want to admit that the NHS is failing, because even for the pro-Capitalist Tories, the NHS is a patriotic symbol of the UK loved even by hardcore conservatives, and a symbol of the "blitz spirit". They also are aware of the fact that its collapse would be a sign of its own failures, since the Tories have been in power for a vast majority of the time that the NHS has been collapsing, so who else is there to blame?

I think most likely the Tories are going to try and blame this on Putin, which is quite comical.

Obviously there is this idea going around that this is being done on purpose by the Tories to encourage a move to private medicine, but I don't think this is true because the private medicine in the UK is heavily reliant on the NHS to function and the UK government aren't really doing anything at all to encourage more private hospitals to open either. If the Tories really wanted to move people from the NHS to private healthcare they would offer a statutory insurance system like in France or Germany and tell people to use it at private clinics.

> I'm also slightly concerned over how blase "hackers" here on this site are treating the news. All around us are these huge, easy-to-abuse, global influence platforms with cozy backchannels to the most powerful bureaucratic state (US govt) that we've ever seen. And yet many comments I've seen so far are along the lines of, "No worries, this stuff happens all the time and is totally normal and okay. Move along now!" I would have expected more skepticism, cynicism and backlash from this crowd. Am I wrong?

I don't think you are wrong. I do think this is a powerful tool, that should be scrutinized. But I also can't think of any better alternative. So, in the meantime, ISTM that talking about how it's talked about (as a great conspiracy and revelation, when it's well-known and the best known solution to a problem we have) seems the right way to go about it.

And note that not so long ago Musk himself said that this solution is what he wants for Twitter¹.

I just think when talking about the "Twitter Files", the more interesting story is how Musk is spreading disinformation and propaganda to increase his own wealth and power and how supposed journalists are uncritically helping him do it.

> So the net effect is that secretive censorship hurts genuine individuals the most.

From first principles, the moderators would not consider shadow-banned individuals as 'genuine'.

Since you brought up the subject of spammers - whats your take on email spam transparency, and the use of spam folders? should MTAs (like GMail or Exchange server), in the interest of transparency, immediately reject messages categorized as spam rather than accepting and quietly placing them in the spam folder, never to be read by a human? This would absolutely solve the problem where emails from genuine users end up being blackholed in the spam folder.
Ironically, one issue with the NHS is retention of staff. A sizeable majority of the new cohorts of junior doctors are steadily migrating to Australia due to the better working conditions.
