The vast majority of EU people and member states support helping Ukraine over bending over backwards to Putin's genocidal regime.

von der Leyen is a terribly incompetent person, and shouldn't be allowed anywhere close to a place with power. Nonetheless the current EU actions are in line with what the EU wants. The only exceptions are annoying fringe groups, and Hungary which is ruled by such a fringe group.

> Ukraine, which isn't even an EU member

So fuck 'em and let them die at the hands of a brutal invader or do you mean something else? Appeasement doesn't work, and the countries that have the most to lose if Ukraine falls, like Poland and Romania, are very much in the EU.
Removing the connector entirely has the downside of creating a ton of dead or difficult-to-recover devices in the case there's a bug in the later steps of the boot rom that provide some basic flashing interface - Samsung learned that the hard way recently with their faulty GVI3 update for the Watch 4 series. It bricked the watch so hard it couldn't boot up to WiFi-capable Odin mode any more, and lower-level interfaces on the SoC were not accessible any more because there were no ports.

In an ideal world yes. But you're often lumbered with software that is already decades old and "in house" usually means developed by a self taught post grad (or undergrad if you're really unlucky). And let's not get into the fact that you have to use whatever the I instrument manufacturer provides.

> The icon font is wrong, too: it's clearly IBM's VGA font, not Commodore's Topaz. A sloppy oversight, especially considering that versions of Topaz are readily available in TTF format.

I don't think this is an oversight. There's a limited amount of fonts that screams "computer" on TV, and the VGA font is one of them. Topaz ain't. I guess we're lucky that they stuck with the somewhat low resolution, or we'd have gotten the numero uno of FakeUI fonts: OCR-A

HTML happens a lot these days when you want to show the "inside" of a system, for obvious reasons, it's just the modern equivalent of assembly/hex editors, and the most likely "internal view" a contemporary user might actually have encountered. And, weirdly and sadly enough, it's about to get even more true.

You're going to have to provide a source here. All the polls I've seen have indicated that the vast majority of EU citizens support thr actions of the EU with regards to Ukraine (helping them with financial, humanitarian and military aid, and hosting their refugees) and Covid (the relief funds).
Good post. The original post seemed to have missed that scientific articles start with a summary that give an overview to know if the article is worth reading. And also that probably most writers and reader of scientific article are not native speaker and that article being dey and not fanciful is actually a feature
There's a similar phenomenon you might encounter in language: if you have a text, and you sample one random letter at a time from it, it turns out not to be very difficult to determine what language the text is written in. Does the letter 'i' exist in French? Does it exist outside French? Sure, but nevertheless you can rule French in or out based on how often you sample a letter and get 'i'. French uses the same 'i' as everyone else, but it uses it in its own distinctively French way.

This is what makes it trivial to break substitution ciphers given a long enough ciphertext.
Yes. Nonsense line. EVs and self-driving are orthogonal concepts. The only reason to combine them is to make a cute story for gullible buyers of Tesla cars and Tesla stock. If you assume that he knows that we know that, then he is simply pumping confidence in their ability to do self-driving. "We are all definitely drinking the cool-aid here, folks!"
I don't think that's right, I remember joking about cookie banners in the late 00s. Since GDPR they now have buttons and categories though, whereas previously we never had a choice, just a notice that cookies were in use.

Amazon is shitty in shitty contexts, if you take Italy then every employee is unionised with benefits, in US you have this thing where you don’t want the government to be able to regulate but then expect companies to be good samaritan and foot the bill for maternity, sickness, public health, without paying taxes for it. Amazon is a good place, just need to regulate it
Not so when benchmarked against severe illness and death, and with sufficient doses. See the paper I linked. The numbers are very clear.

The "Chinese vaccines don't work" narrative is in part based on an apple-orange comparison. Articles compared Sinovac's efficacy against spread (which, admittedly, is lower than mRNA's) with Pfizer's efficacy against severe illness/death, all against the original variant. Furthermore, the phase where we had any sort of decent protection against spread was short-lived, no matter which vaccine, so keeping up this narrative that's based on a flawed and outdated premise is either disingenuous or ignorant.
That said, I do agree that it's weird that they weren't chosen such that T0H+T0L=T1H+T1L at the centre of the tolerance range.

It's likely they intended them to be the same, but for whatever reason the design characterisation discovered the distribution of periods are actually slightly different from the ideal design, so instead of trying to do a potentially very expensive redesign, they just documented the reality and left it at that.

Thanks for responding and for providing such a great service. I meant dropping borg altogether and using zfs send/receive to sync my data to rsync.net.

As I understood it, if my dataset is encrypted then rsync.net only sees the name of the snapshot and the encrypted data.

I’m not sure this would be a great solution for my most common restore use case though: fetching a single file back with borg while I’m at a third location that is remote to both rsync.net and my ZFS host. The fact that I can do that with just Borg and rsync.net is incredibly useful (yes, I travel with my keys!)
Reading [1], is it really true under Irish law that as long as you are walking on one side of the fence (I'm not sure if “correct” is the best word to use here, given that it's clearly the dangerous side), you are not trespassing? I would expect that land ownership extends beyond the fence and includes the cliff as well.

Interestingly, this seems to be one of the ways their satellite based emergency services system works - using a relay station to receive messages from phones. This would suggest they already have infrastructure they could use for these features.

I believe there is established precedent in some countries that you can't connect alarm auto dialers straight to the emergency phone number (precisely because of false call-outs), and therefore need to go through an alarm monitoring company. Apple seems to be doing a direct link to emergency services here, in a world where circuit switched telco precedents seem to be missed in the packet switched world.

My guess is they think they can win in the court of public opinion because it's for "people like you" using a phone that you have, rather than something for "other people".

It would be interesting to see how Apple could be forced to implement proper quality assurance and scenario-based negative test validation of their products before they are allowed to do these kinds of things.
Military spec doesn't always mean 'better by all measures' too.

Eg some military spec velcro is weaker as it needs to pull apart much more quietly. So it is good at doing that job, but bit if you need it in ace if normal velcro and want to use a normal amount.
I’m friends with Youtubers in the rock/metal audio production space. I jump in every once and a while to help when their websites are having issues. They’ll regularly do 50/50 revenue split deals to white label VSTs and other audio plugins.

If you’re passionate about making plugins, and can actually deliver, reaching out to influencers you like and pitching them a rev share deal is a great opportunity. I spent a Sunday afternoon trying to teach myself how to code a plugin but I’m just not that interested in learning it.
I agree completely.

Legally the shareholders of FTX are well shielded by limited liability. But morally they managed to aid and abet huge fraud. People should have done their research before trusting FTX. But it is also very poor for Sequoia etc to have given FTX (and SBF himself) such strong endorsements with apparently zero actual knowledge of the business.

We generalists find work through our network of contacts. People we've worked with previously reach out to us when their current company needs a person like us. In 20+ years as a generalist, I've never been without work.
Visually it's not that different, of course, but I don't see a more unified interface in the terminal these days. The Amiga might have had it, with its TRIPOS arg parsing, and of course you got your language-integrated text UIs like Oberon.

But beyond that, it's a mirror of the graphical side. I mean, it's not like the GUI invented a lot of new widgets, either. There are still buttons and menus, it's just that they look and behave differently in each app. The same goes for the CLIs, where there's no rhyme or reason for all the long/short parameters, sub-commands etc.; To use the git metaphor, we're in a bathroom where all the porcelain is coming from different manufacturers and your got your brutalist toilet bowl next to your gold plated sink. And nobody knows what to do with the three shells.

(As another KDE user) I'll second this.

In the past 12 months I’ve gone from having normal male levels of testosterone and estrogen to having normal female levels of both.

It’s truly amazing and wonderful that we can do this, and I’ve learned so much from the experience. It’s hard to describe the changes precisely, but I’m finding that women make more sense to me and are more interesting to talk to, while I have a lower tolerance for men trying to act tough, which before seemed silly but now seems annoying. I’ve also found that I have less interest in action movies and recently I’ve been more interested in romantic comedies and stories of people.

At Christmas dinner my dad got really racist and previously I would have gotten very angry and probably tried to set him straight, but instead I just felt sad and upset and I calmly got up from the table and walked away to calm down.

I’ve also started experiencing monthly cycles where for about one week a month I feel more tired and weepy like I could cry very easily. I have WAY more sympathy for women who have difficult periods now, because I never actually understood the extent to which it affects them. I think now it’s unfair that we expect women to show up and work every day and perform the same, because for some women their period can be physically disabling.

I’ve felt like my emotions have gotten stronger except for anger. My other emotions like love and empathy and sadness have gotten stronger, and I also find more variation in them throughout the monthly cycle. Before, my emotions were pretty much the same every day. I mean I had ups and downs, good days and bad days, but it always sort of stayed within a certain range. Now I feel like I’m a certain way for three weeks, and then for the fourth week I have that aforementioned weepyness and stronger feelings.

It’s a real shame that people get so bent out of shape about trans people. I think it’s beautiful that we can do this. It’s helping me understand so much about a world I never quite realized was there. I remember male comedians in the 1990’s complaining about women. It was always a punchline to a cheap joke. But now through hormone therapy individuals can actually cross that line, and experience the other side. I hope that more people do this and share the experience. Everyone needs to hear this story.

Also contrary to what some people would think, I’m no less interested in engineering. I’m still designing and building an open source solar powered farming robot (see my profile) and designing circuit boards and setting up servers for fun. But I’ve also realized that stuff isn’t the only thing I want to do, and I’ve been spending more time sewing and cooking too. I think I’m developing an appreciation for more of the world and becoming a more well rounded person. I wouldn’t say everyone should do this, but it’s definitely the right thing for me. And everyone should have the right to make the same choice if they’d like.
The Outer Space Treaty is a treaty between governments. As a rule, treaties only apply to governments. So SpaceX can say whatever they like in a document, as it's legal to do so in the US and then act upon it based on US law. From my understanding this means that they can claim it all they like, but if they tried to enforce that claim against anyone it wouldn't work.
> The argument from Andrej Karpathy is that humans use vision and vision alone, so if we can learn to drive by vision, then so should an ML model.

By that argument, we should abandon silicon for our chips, because we think without it. Heck, by that argument, we should be building androids and putting them into the driver's seat, because humans use hands to drive.

What an incredibly stupid argument. My respect for this guy just went right into the toilet.
`kallsyms_lookup_name()` returns the address associated with any symbol in the kernel's symbol table, f.e. in a module, you can lookup the symbol "getname" (which copies the file name from user space to kernel space) via

```
static typeof(&getname) getname_p;
getname_p = (typeof(&getname))kallsyms_lookup_name("getname");
...
```

Lua != Lisp. This distinction is quite important and often understated.

You can make a very customisable editor in a very flexible meta language like Lisp. If you do it in Lua, you have an absolute mess. I spent a few days studying Lite XL's source code before deciding the choice of language was going to be its downfall, unless they adopt very strict and well-documented interfaces.

I feel no one's trying to understand why Lisp was a thing and are doomed to try, and fail, to recreate Emacs in a subpar language. IMHO, neovim suffers from the same problem. Their choice of language is a very unstable foundation to build all those IDE-like features. vimscript is terrible, but was tailored for the problem at hand.

I've experienced what you describe with Anki also. Moreover, I've felt there needs to be a model of the user's current acuity, because it's highly variable. If I make one error, then yeah, apply the SRS algorithm to that card. But if I get 50% more errors than expected, maybe I'm just exhausted and the session should take that into account. I used to use Anki to study Chinese characters on the way home from work, and after a long hard day with poor sleep the night before, I hit the learning wall a lot faster than usual.

tl;dr a bonus effect of regular Anki practice is you can detect when you're in a stupor
I know I am not as good as the average driver, simply because I have much less practice, but I make up for it by extreme vigilance and caution, and I've never been in any sort of accident or moving violation.

Yeah, no.

Driving skill is almost certainly normally distributed, and if so, your answer is wrong.

I think we need to move beyond the traditional model of how people think. Classical Liberalism and Economics both hold people out as rational, reasonably self interested, self controlled etc. But the truth is that there are a whole bunch of processes in human brains that do not follow this model. Not just raw emotions. But things like seeking to belong or exclude others. Virtue Signalling is another example of this. Behavioural economics is starting to try and quantify some of this. Hopefully in a generation or two we will have learned (both individually and socially) to deal with these things a bit better...
