Another gay man here.

To me it seems like we have this paradoxical situation where the media want to simultaneously present inclusivity and diversity, but don't dare present any of the real diversity for fear of stereotyping. The end result is some token LGBTQ+ characters who are heteronormative, which is disingenuous.

If it is a choice between no gay character and some gay character who is essentially 'straight acting', I'd choose the former every time.
Damn, I wish I could stretch like this
While I agree that academic fraud is a blight upon academia, this comment generalises over many thousands of academics.

> _nobody_ cares about any of this. Universities don't care, journals don't care, peers don't care, nobody within the academic system cares.

Please be mindful about generalising over such a large number of people. Maybe those who care have little power to do anything about it.
I don't have to make really small screws very often so I don't claim great experience.

That said, I've found that it's fine to turn down the stock on the lathe but using tiny dies, <1mm, on the machine is a pain (I have to relearn the 'feel' every time).

My solution is to clamp the die and use a pin chuck and do the operation by hand. This way, I've some tactile feedback and I don't wreck either the die or the work as often.

Of course, that's no solution if one needs hundreds of them.
As someone who runs two electronics workshops (one at home, one at university) the only true solution is to get yourself storage solutions with a ton of seperate compartments and different sizes and label/use them with discipline. Same goes for equipment and cables. Cables either go into boxes or onto the cable holder depending how often you need them. Equipment goes into the labeled drawer.

For projects I currently just put them into a cardboard box with their parts and label that box.

Beyond a certain scale I recommend using a software like for example https://inventree.org/, especially when you have project boxes with parts in them and need to get ab overview of how much stock you have where.

I am taking an online course from wismon.nl (it is a Dutch course). They use the regular high-school textbooks that are used in The Netherlands; "Getal & Ruimte".

This might not be of much use to you if you're not a Dutch speaker, but one thing that seems to work very well for me is just going through the exercises in the textbook! On top of that, there are quite a lot of amazing explanation videos on YouTube if a topic is hard to understand.

Isn't there a bias built in due to products only launching if there was feasibility to begin with? The researchers had to believe this would be a viable direction as well as the industry.
It is distressing to learn that Bezos has chosen the name "Koru", having no connection to the country of its origin. For many New Zealanders who have grown up surrounded by native ferns, the koru is a symbol of the bush's unfurling fronds and unique landscape, the unfolding of new life. It is a lifelong symbol that we feel connected to, embedded in uncountless human artefacts going back hundreds of years, in both Māori and Pakeha culture.

It raises the question of how Bezos came to choose this name. Was it a picture he saw in a magazine during one of his private jet trips or was it recommended by one of his staff? How he could have any meaningful connection to the koru? My immediate reaction is that this feels like cultural appropriation, and I almost never have this reaction. For me, it's the fact that it's a gigantic ship that screams privilege and environmental damage. If it were a small fleet of electric bicycles maybe I'd be fine with it.

I wonder how other New Zealanders respond to this.

Doesn't Seattle have forests and fronds, to take a name from?

I agree. One of the problems I hear sometimes as an Elite Dangerous player is that the game is a “mile wide” , yet an inch deep. The game relies a lot on text (from the galnet news to the station boards) to convey what is happening. While that keeps things manageable from a time and money angle, the problem is that in this day and age it’s better/expected to show and let the players experience it. It also doesn’t trust the players with a lot of agency beyond visiting places and shooting/trading things. I think the game relies a lot on its legacy rather than new bold moves that elevate to the same status as its forbear.

That said, there is nothing like E:D out there right now, and it’s still a great achievement.

>We're researching artificial intelligence, not artificial consciousness.

They go hand in hand, otherwise how can you have consciousness? One element of consciousness is being aware of existential threats in order to make intelligent decisions. Some of those threats are easier to learn from than others, namely because it causes pain or does something that harms the feedback loop ego but is not an existential threat.

Most of the email I get was written by a human, and requires a thoughtful answer.

However, I have to aggressively fight against not-quite-spam to keep my inbox clean. I'd love smarter filters that can remove terms of service updates, duplicate confirmation emails, work newsletters and the like.

I'd also love to have email highlighted when the time is right. I'm constantly digging up meeting, flight and hotel booking emails on the day of the event.

I'd love to see automatic calendar and maps links added next to each message when relevant.

I say leave human communication to humans. Work on the problems that make them feel like machines.
This is a bad excuse to not feel bad supporting industries that make heavy use of child labour. I'll break some things down:

> "Please do not bring kids. It is irrelevant here and can be even factually wrong."

We should absolutely bring up the kids, since this article talks about the scaling of an industry where the kids play a role in its cheapness. It's very much relevant to the conversation of the price of cobalt.

> "If not for cobalt they can be sent to fields and be subject for all chemicals used in modern agriculture. Or work in a sweatshop or in a factory with zero regulations about safety."

Mining cobalt is much more dangerous than agriculture; even "modern agriculture". Sweatshops come in all forms, some incredibly dangerous, very physically demanding and potentially toxic, like cobalt mining. I wouldn't say they're worse though. Saying so is not being too familiar with how terrible cobalt mining can be [1][2].

It's worth noting though; one can't defend a terrible children's right abuse by claiming that "if they weren't being abused this way they'd be abused another". We don't know that, and it very much doesn't make it ok.

> "I.e. the problem is that the country is poor. Fix that and kids will spent time in schools, not in mines."

Yes, The DRC needs capital to develop and support its population. It's worth understanding the problem with a little more depth, since it's complex.

The DRC has about half of the reserves of one of an incredibly important resource [3]. That's a very significant amount of latent capital. It also has a chokehold on the market, accounting for about 70% of the world's cobalt production [4]. That's power.

One can't just say that The DRC "is poor"; it is being "kept poor" by internal conflict largely enabled and stirred by outsiders (I quickly found some examples from a few years back but there's way more: [5][6]). It's also victim to an international community that says and does nothing about this, because the international community benefits a lot from the poverty in The DRC.

That's why we should talk about the children. For years African analysts have noted that the USA cares about "liberating" countries human rights abuses in some parts of the world, yet is very confortable with tyrannical dictators in others [7]. I don't know how much the West would hurt its own economic interests based on public outcry, but we should absolutely acknowledge the fact this is not ok, and Western (in the very least) indifference plays a role in it.

> I'm okay with new books being published that clean up the old stories, but they can't rightly list Roald Dahl as the author. The author on the cover needs to be "Roald Dahl & Whoever".

That will probably happen — multiple times — as soon as the (original) books are in the public domain, but right now there is no way the publisher is going to give a cut of the sales to a 2nd named author (especially since anyone good would also push back on some of the ill-considered changes).

I haven't watched that particular video, but I would exercise caution with his videos. He can often exercise some rather strong opinions due to: (1) he's right, (2) he misunderstands the product or a feature but claims it's an issue, or (3) some arbitrary reason based upon the name printed on the product. And (2) is often coupled with (3). This caution is probably advised on many electronics videos, especially from old heads because their American made or Japanese made gear from 30 years ago is better, which is often unhelpful because that gear isn't available anymore and is subjective anyway. Or entry level gear is compared to their $1,000+ soldering iron or $5,000+ oscilloscope.

I have been doing a lot of research lately for some entry level gear that will last and suit my needs without breaking the bank, and it's very difficult to sort through inaccuracies and biases against certain gear.
I broadly that this sounds like a people problem rather than a tooling problem, but I would add:

>If you have a team of developers and they're not able to deliver to a specification, the problem is with the developers, not the tools you're using.

Or the problem lies in the designers providing the specification, which is also a situation I've seen a few times. A good design specification isn't just providing a view of the overall layout, it's also providing the pieces that went into that design: the visual components, the guidelines used for layouts, a list of colours and distances used, etc.

Simply providing a "pixel perfect" version will not get you good results, because that's essentially a lossy translation of the designer's intent. To implement that intent, you need information then just, for example, how big each button needs to be, you need to know how big a button can be, how small it can shrink to, what should happen with oversized or undersized text, how it will be positioned in its containers etc. Partly that's because intent is often a clearer way to communicate things than results, but mainly it's because there's no such thing as a pixel-perfect render target. Browser sizes can change, phones can be rotated, and people will insist on all sorts of different resolutions. It's only by describing intent (this element should fill the space, this point should be equidistant between these two points, etc) that you can adequately support all these situations.

That said, I broadly agree with you that this sounds more like a people problem than a technology problem.
Um.

You can, but I'm not sure why you would, or how it's relevant?

sips is installed by default, that's the only reason you'd use it over any number of other drawing tools.

Using node and clojure seems like it's more effort, more obscure and less functionality than any number of other things. If you're going to install something, install imagemagick.

If you're looking for something else kind of like sips, try hand coding an svg like:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="500" height="500" viewBox="0 0 500 500">
<rect x="3" y="3" width="200" height="200"></rect>
</svg>

Then run the thumbnail generator on it:

qlmanage -t -s 500 -o . junk.svg

Using clojure (nbb) for this seems... like a solution looking for a problem to solve.

> Referring to people by noun-ing one of the adjectives that describes them

The noun sense of female well precedes (going back to its Latin roots) the adjectival sense of the word. [1] The adjectival sense came from the noun, the exact reverse of what you are saying.

And this pattern of adjectives coming from nouns (e.g. leafy, greasy, beautiful, harmful, dangerous, adventurous) is common, while the reverse is not (I'm hard put to think of even one example). So what you are saying here is a nonsense, with no scholarly basis to it.

Most of what we have today was predicted in science fiction novels and video many decades ago.

Even the causes of a singularity were predicted (since they are what created the prediction of a singularity). I.e. AI, quantum computing, etc.

The “real” singularity happens at the point in the future where we have no conception what is going to happen next.

So the singularity stays in front of us, but gets closer and closer.

Then, at some point, change happens faster than humans can track or understand.

I want to give my ad blocker permission to see my requests. I trust gorhill implicitly, moreover the code to ubo open source.

Ad blocking is a cat and mouse game. Google, a mouse, is trying to cripple the cat enough that they can squeak all of their ads through.

It is a fucked up situation when the attacker, i.e. Google, who does record everybody's history, is trying to convince us that our security will be enhanced if they stop allowing us to run our security software on our own devices. And that the open source security software is actually the attacker, with no evidence of that assertion whatsoever! The word "gaslighting" is thrown around frequently but what Google is doing here comes close to that.

Google knows that crippling ad blockers will result in more privacy violation, but they keep pushing this lie that ublock is dangerous and anti-privacy because they want to line their pockets.
Their example maps to reality (at least the current topic) much better, though

What blew my mind is not that incident, or that Microsoft devs refused[1] to fix it, but that about a year later they updated Notepad the same way and it visibly lags and stutters on a suuuuper high end gaming machine. Like. What. The. Fuck!?

They literally never tested Notepad with large text files! It can take a minute to open a file that every other text editor on Windows opens instantly. It misaligns tabs and four spaces by one or two pixels, which means they utterly failed to render using a fixed width font in a way I have never seen before.

This minimalist text editor takes over a second to launch from an SSD that can read a 4K movie end-to-end in the same time.
