> In science, if you don't know, you don't make the claim, that is basic positivism and the scientific method.

Yes you're correct. So you can't make the claim that it's NOT cognition. That is my point. You also can't make the claim that it is cognition which was the OTHER point. Completely agree with your statement here.

But it goes further then this, and your statement shows YOU don't understand science.

>So basic in fact, I was thought this in elementary school. So far ad-hominem attributions of naivety.

No science is complex and basically most people don't understand the scientific method and it's limitations. It's not basic at all, not even people who graduate from four year colleges in STEM fully understand the true nature of science. Or even many scientists!

In science and therefore reality as we know it; nothing can be proven. This is because every subsequent observation can completely contradict an initial claim. Proof is the domain of logic and math, it doesn't exist in reality. Things can be disproven but nothing can actually be proven. That is science.

This is subtle stuff, but it's legit. I'll quote Einstein if you don't believe me:

"No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong." - Einstein

And a link for further investigation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

Anyway all of this says that NO claim can be made about anything unless it's disproof. Which is exactly inline with what I'm saying.

Still claims are made all the time anyway in academia and the majority of these claims aren't technically scientific. This occurs because we can't practically operate on anything in reality if we can't in actuality claim things are true. So we do it anyway despite lack of any form of actual proof.

>Anyone that humanises computation is not only committing an A.I. faux-pas but are going against the basic scientific method.

But so is dismissing any similarity to humans. You can't technically say it's wrong or right. Especially when the outputs and inputs to these models are very similar to what humans would say.

This is basic preschool stuff I knew this when I was a baby! I thought everybody knew this! <Joking>.

I think there's room for distinguishing between full employment and job guarantees: providing a job for anyone who wants one doesn't have to be the same as requiring everyone to work.

That would carry less weight - George Washington never had monarchical or dictatorial powers to grant such an exemption.
Why not? Do you expect legal immunity?
> Engineering is about solving part of the problem first, then iterating.

And fraud is about selling solutions to parts of the problems you haven’t yet solved. While there are engineering criticisms of Tesla FSD, that’s not the issue here, so presenting definitions of engineering is a non-sequitur.
I don’t recall! I guess one of the companies decided to start using it because I have a few yoe. Not something I care about too much. As long as I do senior type stuff in the job and get paid well.
Sadly it seems that Brother's only 11x17 "Ledger Size" printers are inkjet... alas. But the MFC-J5855DW inkjet printer from Brother looks decent. Will look at Lexmark too!

edit: Lexmark does look very nice, but their 11x17 printer is the $3500 C925... which is a bit more printer than I need.
> In tech, people ascribe you an identity as much as you claim one yourself.

Indeed that is true of most kinds of identity. People will ascribe you racial and gender identities which may or may not match the ones you wish to claim for example.

???

Modern SPAs are typically written in TypeScript which is very expressive and using frameworks to structure them.

One may like or not like the tooling around it, but the language and code is just as robust and clean as any backend code.
This is not so comedic as you may think. The supreme constitutional court clarifies in a judgment of the year 1972: The German Reich survived the collapse of 1945 [...] The Federal Republic of Germany is not the legal successor but as a state identical with the state German Reich.

In my one visit to the Netherlands I had to use cash because small places wouldn't take Visa/MC because it was too expensive for them. They had no problem accepting cash tho.

i had a lot of fun exploring the performance ceiling of csv and csv like formats. turns out binary encoding of size prefixed byte arrays is fast[1].

csv is just a sequence of 2d byte arrays. probably avoid if dealing with heterogeneous external data. possibly use if dealing with homogeneous internal data.

For 20+ years I have wish we literally had just build one more nuclear plant, we could easily have done this and would be fine and independent by now. But sadly we have to investigate all these ideas instead of just going with a solution we know works and is literally just a matter of spending the money to solve the problem.

Relaying on EU is just a terrible idea.

I'm not necessarily against some things like these solar on a dam, but I wish we just look at the problem, picked a solution, took on the debt needed and comprehensively solved it in one project.
Because free/cheap food allows you to spend the cash part of benefits on other things.
Operation. Any time you profoundly change the terrain (soil,water,sunlight) you catastrophically upset the ecosystem. It may come to another equilibrium over time, but that's just nature doing its good thing. There's a finite capacity for that etc.
This is the best solution for home use, totally agree. Is a shame that they turned inkjet technology into a scam.
You’re kidding, right? Average people buy cars with cash: a teen saving from first jobs for a first used car… eventually, “10k” will be where “teen” used cars land … and boom, average person.

A person with a down payment on a house.

…I can go on.

The point is this: casting this wide a net in the name of “fighting terrorists” is absolute nonsense, and not worth what would happen to a terrorist in this net: a few extra “10k money limit” charges… compared to the literal thousands of people this will inconvenience.

Anything a nation does in the name of fighting an enemy that is, in essence, a version of Lacan’s “objet petit a” - is a nation lying to its people.
I very much doubt there are money people that walk into an apple store with 10k in their back pocket to pay for some computers.

Same with farmers. How many farmers living in this modern age are walking around with 10k in their back pockets? In the vast majority of cases, I would argue that people just use their bank account for such large payments these days.

Yes, doctrines like this are meaningless. Let's scrap all anti-proliferation treaties, the IAEA. The whole lot. All the major armies around the world have been paranoid about them for no reason.

While we are at it, let's scrap the UN too, as it is in and of itself an emanation of such competing doctrines.

All meaningless, as reality is an illusion.

Here in europe even trying to humanise the roma can be an issue. Those people are so discriminated against that even defending them is looked down upon. Entire countries are maligned simply because they have a large number of this minority. No ethnic group in the us is as discriminated as these folks are in europe. America has not known such racism since the end of slavery.

Corruption is well obvious. See ursula, the head of the ecb and so on.
The same argument of diminishing returns, that quality of life doesn't improve much when going from 130k€ to 1M€ can be applied to capital controls. Is this 10k€ limit really what is needed to save the welfare state? Were the previous controls not enough?

Or is it that the welfare state is collapsing on its own and grasping at straws?

but people do consent to the monarchy?

mind you, the netherlands is a constitutional monarchy in which the king is legally bound by the constitution. Changing the constitution to just absolve the monarchy is a possibility. One that just hasn't happened yet, because the monarchy in the netherlands is quite popular.

Also, in the past two decades, the monarch had to resign some roles he still played in goverment. (like appointing the "informateur" and "formateur" during the formation of a new cabinet.) This all happens without his approval, because he doesn't have the power to draft and implement laws. That is done by both chambers of goverment.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. PNG 'optimizers' that change the image data rather than the compression and framing settings were bad enough; the last thing we need is to displace JPG/PNG entirely with a format that doesn't distinguish[0] between lossy and lossless compression in the first place.

> Also a much better political and judicial system - first past the post? Politically appointed judges?

Much better judicial system? What about not having jury trials is better?

Without having a jury that decides your fate makes the entire process political.

Politically appointed judges? That’s just federal, in the US most state judges are elected. The DA is an elected office. In virtually all european countries they are all appointed offices. Appointed by the politicians in charge.

Justice system in most EU countries absolutely sucks compared to the US. In several EU countries there’s no concept as double jeopardy, because the prosecution can appeal an acquital.

I’d much rather be a defendant in the US, than in any EU country.

> So free speech is an EU matter but healthcare is a local one? No, both are decided locally with limited EU oversight - e.g. the EU is trying to punish Poland and Hungary's free speech limitations.

ECJ explicitly stated that objectionable or hate speech can be banned. So yes, that made it EU matter.

As for the EU doing something about Polands and Hungary’s disobedience? They don’t actually seem to be doing anything, because the EU as an institution is completely impotent, and they can’t risk being tough on their member states, for the Union could actually disintegrate. UK proved that is, in fact, physically possible to leave the EU. So Hungary could do that too, and so could Poland.

Generally in a political sense (related to the gay sense). Someone who does not accept heterosexuality as a norm or default way of being, even though it may something that they personally prefer.
It prevents people with lots of dirty money from paying expensive-but-unregistered-goods (i.e. not cars and houses) with cash from law abiding citizen; if they want the expensive stuff, they'll have to either find some other dishonest businessman to sell it to them (might be hard, depending on what you're buying, and increases the risk of being caught) or deposit the money in a bank to pay for it electronically (which will raise flags since you are not officially earning that money)
> In 2022 we should absolutely refrain from leaving the decision to the user w.r.t if it is safe or trustworthy. Users suck. Don't trust users to look at warnings

Yup, totally. Which is why we are addressing it. The current behaviour dates back to 2016, and reflects the transition from plaintext to e2ee matrix which happened between then and now - much as TLS browser warnings have evolved in the same timeframe, and eventually being replaced by HSTS and friends. It doesn’t mean that the previous behaviour is catastrophic though - just as browser warning semantics doesn’t kill TLS.

Another take on this:

AVIF is an ad hoc agreement from an industry coalition interested in web media delivery. There are literally no individuals or governments participating, only big internet media corporations and companies producing solutions for internet media needs.

JPEG XL is an international standard related to a larger field of interests (photography, print, industrial quality assurance imaging, multi-spectral imaging, space technology, heat cameras, mastering, raw-like imaging, medical imaging, storage, archiving, media delivery, government needs, ...). Participation fee is moderage and individuals can participate.
Visa/MC is not so widely accepted in smaller shops/stores. However, if you have a maestro debit card you basically have no need to carry cash. I live in Holland and never carry cash, even when going to food markets or when going out for far cycling trips to village areas. Only reason I carry cash (and I specifically have to go to the ATM for this) is when I go to my barber, of which it is obvious, they only accept cash so they can pay some of their employees under the table (something I don't really care about tbh).
That's right, I don't.

Good thing about cars and houses is that you can pay some amount officially and then pay more money under the table.
> This is in Sweden.

Does Sweden accept Visa/MC or they have some weird local card in most places?

Just checking in case i ever play the tourist in Sweden. Had trouble in NL.
It's actually worse than that. I have a laser printer which costed me $36, came with a toner actually printed over 400 pages. The genuine replacement toner costs $110 but can only deliver nominal 1000 pages. But that not quite a big problem as there are generic toners for around $10 and can actually deliver over 1000 pages. But I heard later models were virtually blocked from using generic toners via automatic firmware update as result quality dropped dramatically.

The Canon inkjet I had was a completely different story. Genuine cartridges cost over $80, can print no more than 100 pages. Most importantly, after I dump the empty cartridges, the scanner stopped working.

We need serious probe into those malicious behaviors.
make a rule on your router to deny all traffic going outside from the ip of your printer and the nagging goes away.
The printer in question is a laser printer, the M209dwe.
In my experience, when people look for a way to include something in the project it almost always results in more complexity.

A question like "how do I put it all together" signals focus on tools rather than focus on the product. When developers learn new things they frequently look for opportunity to use them. This preoccupation with the tool they just learned usually happens at the cost of the product. They are looking for a way to add things to the project rather than look for ways to remove unnecessary things.

The right state of mind for architect/designer is to seek learning/understanding paradigms, tools, technologies, etc. to have a library of solutions for when they are needed and be able to recognise when it is the right time to do it, not to try to find a way to use something they just learned.
