> I 100% have control over how I feel about that.

You do, that's great, sincerely, I mostly agree with you, but I feel it lacks a bit of nuance. Adults should have control over how they interpret reality, but not everyone does, and some people want to use perceived offense (Oppression Olympics) as a means for some sort of change, even if it's just padding their wallet.

Some folks are immature, some folks have PTSD or some other condition and/or problem which makes it harder for them to have the discipline you have. Can we acknowledge both that words are interpreted by the listener, and that the listener might not be able to handle them?

I try to not be affected by things, why should I respect someone who's trying to insult me, and if I don't respect them why should I care at all about what they are saying? It boils down to self preservation ultimately I think. Ostracism might not be the death sentence it used to be, but it still can be seriously deleterious.

Also, big federal agencies in USA (like NASA) have a sizable education/outreach budget. NOAA would be no exception, a quick search returns $34M.

Which is... exactly about the positioning of words, if you can or cannot lead with a certain word.

Nevertheless, you are always allowed to use a trademark in a factual sense, as in "Windows can now run Android apps on the Desktop" (modulo some TM or R sign, I guess). That they gave this feature a marketing name at all is a marketing decision - it doesn't have to have a noun. Or it could use a cryptic, non-trademarked internal name like WOW64 does. Or you could go for "'nix subsystem" or "penguin subsystem" or "APK subsystem".

This is why I am convinced even if there we no legal reasons, they would call it "Windows Subsystem for Linux / Android". I think they want to psychologically distance the product from the Windows NT idea that you can have multiple types of applications on equal footing, instead of just "Apps" (see how they are muddling the names of Modern/WinUI/UWP/App SDK/... Apps). But in the end, no one can know and it is just interesting kremlinology...
So is it really the same person you're reanimating, or is it someone/something that simulates that person perfectly to the outside world?

I mean, suppose you could do that while the person is still alive. Assuming the reanimated person even has consciousness, then surely(?) the two won't share the same experience, like some hive-mind with two bodies. I don't think the original person being dead makes any difference.

So it's less about preserving "yourself" (whatever that means), and more about assuring that a backup clone exists after you die. I can see why that might be useful (it's kind of like leaving a will), but your experience probably ends when you die.
Although a lot of this list seems silly, it also has slurs like "retard" and "jewed" on it, which i think are very reasonably considered offensive.

I think the tarball thing is rediculous, but the opposite extreme of no words can be hurtful is also rediculous.
Yes, that's "just" a standard library convention, not a feature of the language itself.

The devil is in the "just", though. It is actually a hassle to use counted strings when every one else uses ASCIIZ; you sacrifice interoperability for sometimes dubious performance improvements (and sometimes docs because if you're working on a large lib documenting this exhaustively is... exhaustive and boring - and now your users have two issues with your stuff).

Often you can keep track of the length of strings and use the "mem" functions instead of the "str" functions. printf for instance returns the length of the resulting string. The tools to avoid unwanted quadratic behavior are there, the hard part is often to just notice that you "did it again".

IIRC Amiga 1200 PSUs are not so bad, it's the C64 and oldest Amiga 500 PSUs which stink. A1200 does not have RTC in standard configuration. (Amiga 4000 and 3000 have.)

A standard ATX (or AT) power supply can be used with an Amiga 1200, so that's an easy route if you have one. Cut off the cables (Amiga PSU donates connector), some electrical tape, and a paper clip to jumpstart the ATX PSU, and Bob's your uncle.
As I said in other comments, if you try to force contributors to reproduce exactly your local setup, you will be left with no contributors. Which is why you set up a CI to run the tests… because people will most likely not.

That's pretty much how I cook white rice normally - just usually add a little oil rather than dry roast to stop it sticking (since I soak it first and certainly don't bother to re-dry it) and only for about a minute before adding the water (1:2). Cook at pressure 2min, leave off heat to continue cooking (but also cool and release lid itself) for another 8m.

If you fit within the language/runtime restrictions, Cloud Functions and App Engine also both can be invoked with the same scheduler setup. We use Cloud Functions for monitoring all the time (schedule to call a function once per minute or so that scrapes some metrics from a third party API and pushes to a Prometheus gateway). Costs us something like $0.12/month and has been extremely reliable. We also run apps on App Engine when we can and there all you need to do is add a `cron.yaml` and you can invoke endpoints there easily and practically for free.

Indeed, as a pedestrian I have just as much right to be in the road (either crossing, or just walking along it) as I would have were I to hop on a bicycle, and more rights than if I was driving a car[1]. Motorways are the exception, where you're not allowed on or beside the road unless you're in a suitable powered vehicle or there's some kind of emergency.

There are various markings that suggest that you probably shouldn't cross, but they aren't enforceable. Cars also have priority in many cases, but priority isn't an excuse for crashing into someone.

[1]: My right to drive a car is limited: I need a license, insurance, and permission from the owner. If I'm driving or riding a bicycle, I need to obey signage -- no jumping red lights, no going the wrong way down one way roads. If I'm walking, I'm perfectly at liberty to walk through a red light if I want to.

It should be said that until the entire European energy supply is carbon free, green steel is not only incredibly expensive, but also bad for the climate.

It would be much better in both ways to feed that energy into the electric grid to replace fossil fueled power.

Norway has a similar initiative to produce carbon free ammonium, but that, too, depends on dirt cheap electricity supply to be rational.

https://www.horisontenergi.no/blue-ammonia/

In both cases, Hydrogen is used, and I suppose if large amounts of hydrogen becomes available and very cheap (for instance due to excess wind power supply), it _could_ be good to already have this tech available.

But based on what I can see from electricity flows from Denmark and Germany to Norway, it is still very rare for the European grid to have excess power due to good wind conditions.

https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/en/Market-data1/Power-system-d...

Norway can still absorb a lot more wind power on such days by temporary pausing hydro production. (Max hydroelectric electricity production in Norway is around 20GW, or about 4KW per capita).
I subjectively disagree from observation.

Change in viewpoints, lifestyle or behavior become exceedingly rare the older people get. Also, the youth is always incapable, stupid and wrong. It's so much of a phenomenon that I wouldn't dare blaming anyone for this. It almost seems to be part of normal development.

People just tend to become more mentally rigid with age and they have a perfect justification ready for you: experience. They have seen it all and can therefore judge everything and everyone (without considering changed circumstances of course which would require to adjust the mental frame that was rigidly formed across the ages).

Heat can transfer via Conduction, Convection and Radiation. The vacuum of space may prevent the first two, but not loss of heat via Radiation. Infrared radiation to be precise. The heat loss is very slow, so yes at times it would be a miniature greenhouse.
Using pi instead of 3 has the obvious advantage that your estimates are much more precise.
I'm pretty sure it's to enable a feature where it can turn on when you leave the house. However, that should be an optional feature, with them only asking for location tracking when you actually enable the option.

Should be, but here's the thing: they don't want to build the best app or customer experience through convenient features, they want your (location) data, because aggregated, that shit is worth more than the stupid dishwasher.

They don't make money on selling dishwashers anymore; components, shipping, marketing and middle men will swallow up any profit. But location data and subscriptions will bring in the real money, over a long and continuous period of time.

See also this story from a Twitter engineer who talked to mobile phone companies that were prepared to pay big money for location data; I can't find the source anymore, but it's been reposted on various outlets: https://hindupost.in/media/an-ex-twitter-engineer-reveals-ho...
Wow! That's quite surprising to me (the godbolt link). Very cool!
The Templars were not set up to send off bandits and do God's work. They started as protection for pilgrimage, set up an system to move funds from Europe into the Holy Land to support their work (which included hiring quite a few mercenaries), which turned into banking, and were half-coerced into some of the Crusades (notably not the first), because they were indeed the experienced, hardened and loyal soldiers that were needed. But they did not "bank" the spoils, and regular Crusaders weren't roaming thieves either.
Ugh, taking this stuff too far is stupid.

Even just something like "blacklist", "whitelist"; it has nothing to do with the modern black skin white skin world of racism - literally every culture on this planet has similar associations with the colours white/black...

I grew up in the United States. I have a vivid memory of learning the words for clouds (e.g., cumulus, stratus, cirrus, etc) at the age of six in the first grade. We didn't need to able to spell them, but we had to be able to identify them by matching pictures of the clouds with the words.

If we follow your argument, you do have control over whether you let the pain affect you. Pain is just a mental state after all. And who cares about broken bones if you could just will the pain away?

I obviously think this is a bit silly and could be used to justify just about anything.

And with location data, turning it on when leaving the house.

Another smart scenario I can think of, link it with energy prices and a real-time dynamic energy contract, and/or solar panel output or battery charge levels, to only run it when it's cheapest to do so.

Of course, that means having it stand-by to run at all times, meaning it may run half-empty and you need to keep the door closed which will cause mold etc.

Either way, Android (and iOS) should be stricter about these things; apps should work without any permissions. I mean a navigation app without location access won't work very well and permission can be denied by accident, but that can be resolved.

Q: The Spanish-American war was fought in 1898.

Just quizzing it on T/F questions that one would expect of a 9th grade level homework that is "did you read the assigned text?" level of cursory knowledge, it gets a better than guessing, not perfect, likely passing grade.

So, here's $0.04 worth of compute, I type in all the homework and I get all the answers.

I am a highly intelligent question answering bot. For a given prompt, I will write two to four sentences about the subject based on historical truth.

Q: What was the cause of the Spanish American War?

A: The Spanish American War was a conflict between the United States and Spain that began in April 1898. The immediate cause of the war was the explosion of the USS Maine in Havana harbor in February 1898. The US blamed Spain for the explosion, and used it as a pretext to declare war. The US also sought to gain control of Cuba, which had been under Spanish rule since the 16th century. The war ended in August 1898 with a US victory, resulting in Spain ceding control of Cuba, Puerto

I didn't give it enough tokens for an answer range... lets double that and append on "Write at a 9th grade level of vocabulary."

And I get back this time:

A: The Spanish American War was a conflict between the United States and Spain that began in 1898. It was caused by the growing tensions between the two countries over the issue of Cuban independence. The US had been supporting the Cuban rebels in their fight for independence from Spain, and when the Spanish government refused to negotiate, the US declared war. The war lasted just over three months and resulted in a US victory, with Spain ceding control of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines to the US.

Getting that level of response, and yes, it is correct, so that someone could in plain English write out the homework assignment and hand in the results and get a passing grade on that assignment.

The breakthrough is the ability to get ask the information in simple text combined with the ability to get back the answer in simple text.

When asked questions correctly, GPT could probably get a passing grade for most classes that involve writing (foreign languages, social studies, and English literature) in high school and likely even in college (though there the short form answers are less common) with only minor effort (and arguably, even less effort than it takes to cheat/get answers other ways that would produce comparable results).
It oddly doesn't have a lot of other slurs, like the n-word, etc. Does that mean they are acceptable?

I don't think most people need to be told that "jewed" or "retard" are not appropriate professional words. Certainly not anyone who works at Stanford, just like nobody needed to be told not to say any of the other slurs that aren't on the list.
The link between the color black and negative feelings exists beyond language, and it has 0% to do with anyone's race. Furthermore, the negative association is with the deep black color of funeral clothes, not with the brown color of most black people's skin.

Even more, the color black itself has many different connotations, and not all are negative. It is for example a color of formal prestige (black belt, black ribbon). It is high-contrast (the situation is black and white). It is the color of things which don't emit light (black body radiation, black hole). It is also the color of many bronze statues, and also of ebony - both often used to depict saints and Jesus himself all in black since medieval times.

Humans are perfectly capable of keeping context in mind, and connotations from one context don't actually bleed into other contexts all that much.

The missing representation of black people in European and American art is a different problem, and it is a real problem that won't be addressed by replacing black box with opaque box.
