Yes Minister is a documentary about pre-Thatcherite Britain.

1. The civil service has been hollowed out; it is now largely reliant on external consultancies and outsourcing firms for many important functions (e.g., Crapita).

2. It’s lost power at the same time. Simon Case is the weakest cabinet secretary in living memory. The last reasonably powerful cabinet secretary was Sir Jeremy. It’s not so much that parliamentary parties are in charge—though they’re not blocked; rather, nobody is in charge at all.

3. Political advisers now no longer find their path blocked to the same extent, but end up burnt out by political events: see the farce of Cummings’ plan to hire some mathematicians ending up cancelled because he couldn’t be bothered to filter out people unironically advocating the sterilisation of the Untermenschen. Since the SPAD system is so ad hoc, it of course manages even less than the Butskellite civil service did.
Yes,*and* its harmonics, which would have to be replaced as well if they're detectably present. Swapping hums isn't trivial.
Yet Americans still divide themselves by race. The only reason they can all be called 'American' is because of the country's multiracial nature, not because they have abandoned in-group preference, as the many ethnic lobbies and general political climate attest to.

In contrast, Japan represents a small number of peoples, and it's laughable to suggest that someone can become Japanese or German by a mere act of bureaucracy.

Wifi is unlicensed spectrum. FCC and counterparts have restrictions on what cell transceivers can do and that has repurcussians when the limits may not be enforced with a misbehaving driver. Check out the old openmoko lists for details.

We haven't had an IBM PC-level of openness from a phone hardware platform. Not one. Shitting on incremental improvements (like the serviceability of this Nokia) is counterproductive.
Agreed, I've also been waiting to see a system with spaced repetition (to help memorize and retain) + dependency graph (to choose what new topics to present). Not sure what the AI value add would be?

I have two children and I was glad that teachers are willing to use new tools (I never asked if they were forced to use them, but I assume not because each teacher seems to use different websites). I'm sure some kids still get bored, but they can let the ones who enjoy math practice at their own pace and provide special guidance to them while still spending the majority of their time helping those who need it.

Well a lot of people are looking at Windows 11, which launched in 2021 and required a ~2018 CPU. Especially when Intel's 8th generation chips were barely different from the ones going back years. Chips close to that cutoff are going to have awful support lifetimes from microsoft if you can't get updates past 2025.

Maybe there is compatibility issue with lldb; I already found an issue with the recent lldb version on Mac M1 (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/LeanCreator/issues/1). You could try to tempoarily rename the clang/lldb directory so LeanCreator doesn't see it anymore at startup.
These blockchains are a disastrous failure, a dead end and can never work at scale.

I think the point of the Fairphone is that usually, the motherboard lives longer than the rest. The goal is to keep the motherboard for as long as possible, by replacing the modules around.

Soot is amorphous carbon; that will absolutely be burned at higher temperatures (given sufficient oxygen). You might be thinking of ash, which consists mostly of inorganic residue (although even there you'll see carbonates at low temperatures and metal oxides at higher temperatures).

But when we talk about burning wood cleanly we're really talking about smoke -- and that's almost entirely organics (including large amounts of carbon monoxide, methane, and VOCs) which will combust given sufficient heat and oxygen.

A reason to keep using Electron rather than Tauri is when you need to make sure the UI is going to be displayed the same way on each platform.

He was notably an early supporter of Trump while the mainstream weren’t seriously considering him competitive. It’s amazing he flew under the radar for this long.

Anyways I would not recommend white peoples systemically distance themselves from black people on the grounds of a casual poll of dubious accuracy which indicates at most mildly racist attitudes towards a group there is obviously a lot of history especially when one can manipulate polling answers in various ways and especially because I think virtually all racial groups have some level of racism. We don’t have to believe that nobody is racist to believe that we should try and be inclusive of other racial groups.

I've been running unihertz jelly 2 for ages and it's phenomenal. The only two annoyances I have are no 5g (I'm always tethering my laptop) and that google maps scooter mode just isn't available on this phone and there's basically no solution to get it working (and I'm hard pressed to figure out whose fault that is - google for failing to recognize the device location? Unihertz for failing to indicate my location correctly?)
> Do you seriously believe "mainstream media"? Kinda NPC move, ngl.

Do you seriously believe some random website with no sources?, ngl, sounds like you have no real sources so you're trying to pass off the drug addled fever dream of some random internet users as "media".

> They are all paid for by interested third parties.

Like how Russia appears to be paying a whole bunch of people and websites online to spread pro Russian propaganda, or 'ask questions' via there firehose of falsehood propaganda model?.

> Sorry to break it to you, but nowadays only place you can find actual truth is in garbage undeground media, unfortunately, and the others you'll just call "propaganda outlets". Call me conspiracy theorist but that's just the reality we live in.

A yes the only place we can find "actual truth" is from the guy being paid by the Internet Research Agency and other Russian troll factories, everything else is "fake".

> Btw don't you find it sus, that western media claims that Ukraine was at war with Russia since 2014, but yet when Russia actually started military action they started dying like flys? Maybe there were not fighting Russian military in the first place.

It was a frozen conflict previously, like Russias frozen conflicts in multiple other post soviet states eventually they turn into a sort of stalemate and not much happens.

How can you be surprised that theres more deaths when a country literally invades on all fronts after having a static front for years?.

> First of, fakes again.

Ah yes once again back to that Russian classic "everything that paints Russia poorly is fake".

> Second, let's not mention the literal swastika in Azov battalion emblem, it's not convenient :)

Let's not mention the literal swastiskas all over tonnes of Russian soldiers and the multiple Nazi PMC's Russia is actively using in Ukraine, its not convenient is it?.

Neither is that famous castration video.

The most expensive flagship from Apple costs around 2000 EUR (more than 10 times cheaper), I meant "flagship" of smartphones in general, but one of the cheaper ones recently released from Apple.

You still get the same amount of years of security updates though, if you buy the cheapest model from Apple or not.
This is a good read to contrast to the more recent incident, although I believe in the latter case there was more than just VC released, and they decided to burn it off instead of letting it dissipate naturally.
The mantra of tech businesses is zero marginal cost. Any kind of expense that is linear with revenue is anathema.
No offense taken. As a fellow old person (whose first computer as a young kid was a TI-99/4A) I definitely feel this pain.

But because I am also an old engineer who works with a lot of other old engineers we are lucky to have a shocking number of human-years’ accumulated experience not only selecting a pile of tools and frameworks but also sticking with them from zero to $BIGCO. Put another way, I’ve shot myself in the foot more times than I can count with these tools and I do it less often and in more esoteric ways these days.

I can’t claim the same degree of experience with all these tools, of course. Pyright is bleeding edge. Tailwind is still the new kid. Relative to (say) Python and Django or Flask, React is new too. Most of the pain and learnings come from these newer moving parts.

Is it “better”? That depends on the axes of evaluation. As a startup studio where the 70% case might be “SaaS that takes a back-office process held together today by Excel & email and makes it way better” the answer is: sometimes, unequivocally yes. Not just because of the tools and the potential velocity they can confer, but because of the kinds of teams we can build around them. Sometimes, plain old Django with nothing added is a clearly better choice.

In the end, every startup is its own snowflake. We try to select “starter stacks” that balance industry familiarity with our ability to offer meaningful operational perspective. We definitely don’t think of them as the final world.

Wait, OnePlus provides 9 years of security updates? That is huge!

Apple’s update policy (and history) is one of the two reasons I own an iPhone (SE). The other reason being all the unremovable junkware I’ve had on Android phones in the past.

Short term rental opportunities are just a reflection of investors seeing high enough yields from a particular activity. Since when is the default economic behavior for humans a benevolent and unselfish one? You don’t see people just hanging out the extra cash in their bank account, so why should they do the same thing with an extra property? If you’re looking for someone to aim at, it should be various levels of government and the corporate entities which make this behavior possible, and with relatively little friction.

The humans are just doing what is incentivized and what they see other humans doing.

FWIW interest rates on mortgages for investment properties/vacation properties are typically a good deal higher than primary residences, and this is one to reduce demand for such things.
Your points are valid and the workaround is indeed easy, but it is strangely clumsy and inelegant. I put up with it because I like SymPy a lot, while not needing to use it so often that the awkwardness really chafes. But if I was doing more serious math work or doing it professionally I'd probably spring for the Mathematica license despite finding Wolfram personally annoying.

Pardon my ignorance here. I started to play around with text generation today and came around plenty of resource but hard to make any sense of it. I had this working https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui and instead of it being able to answer question, it revolves around the concept of generating text.

In your case and ChatGPT3, does is it provide output based on the data you feed it? If that is the case, is there anything related to training the model to use your data?

You are absolutely right and it is shameful what consumers simply accept for software support periods! I try to buy things that I hope/expect to work for 10, maybe 20 years. Appliances, cars, tvs, and electronics including phones. Yet software support for all these things lasts a mere 3-5 years if that. I have an iPad1 original that still works great! But software support ended a year after I bought it—over a decade ago. Totally unacceptable. I hate how the hardware industry forces obsolescence by cutting off software support for devices in the field. Nobody should be grateful for a mere 3 years of software support.
Underrated suggestion - thanks a lot.

I understand the context of “it’s okay to be white” but it’s a broken clock right twice a day kind of thing. The people who criticize the phrase “it’s okay to be white” are actually racists and ad hominem doesn’t make them not racist.

Going on about how even asking the question is racist is a lame criticism. A bunch of white supremacists touched a nerve and revealed a bunch of anti-white racism in the population. It is how it is. The only way to fight against their propaganda is not to defame the people saying this - it’s to not be racist and to point out that mildly racist views on white people don’t nessecarily amount to much of anything in the real world.

I imagine this design working well up north, where temperatures are low, but don’t move much within a 24 hour window.

We have a passively heated house, and use a standard modern wood stove. It has some stones inside it to hold a bit of heat, but only stays warm for about an hour after the fire is out. It is >80% efficient and has similar emissions to these. They run $1-2K in the US. Here are some examples:

https://www.blazeking.com/product-category/wood/

(These tend to be heavily regulated with different manufacturers in each country producing similar stoves.)

It has a built in thermostat/oxygen regulator, and can run for up to 24 hours without reloading (8-12 hours is more realistic; they advertise 40 hours on bigger models).

Instead of using exterior air through an inlet, it pulls air from the house. The outside of the stove looks traditional, but is actually a cleverly designed convection heatsink, so it doesn’t need a blower. (For tiny homes or trailers, you still need an inlet from the outside.)

Anyway, for modern construction at mid to low latitudes, I think this approach is much better than a masonry stove. In particular, we can turn the stove down in the morning, and up in the evening by turning a knob.

We had a masonry-style stove where I grew up, and it was fine. That house was older (and shaded by trees), so it didn’t really passively heat during the day. That’s an appropriate use case for big masonry thermal masses.

Resistance mostly takes the form of hit-and-run attacks and sabotage against infrastructure. Here's a 2019 video of DNR communications facility being blown up: https://medium.com/dfrlab/blast-highlights-mgb-detentions-in...

The video was posted on social media with the following message:

> This was done with the goal to draw attention to the inhumane torture in the basements of the MGB. Cruel treatment and tying wires with electric current to peoples’ extremities in the “people’s” republics has become the norm. The people of the Donbas must protest against torture, or the fascist republic will remain unconnected.

The very effective use of long-range weapons against targets deep inside occupied territories has also been attributed to intelligence provided by locals.

Like with Kherson, we can expect detailed stories after LNR and DNR are liberated and it's safe to reveal what went on and how it was accomplished.

> Anyway, what's the point of this analogy?

The war in Ukraine has nothing to do with separatism. Whatever seeds of that may have existed in the first days, they were hijacked by Russian intelligence services and armed forces very early to prepare the stage for military invasion and occupation. The treatment of representatives of occupied territories as independent leaders even as late as of February 2022 (when they supposedly called Russia for help) is unsupported by facts. You can stage such "separatism" anywhere in favorable conditions when police and armed forces are overwhelmed and won't react fast enough.
I’m trying to get people to explain the racism rather than just write selected quotes. I want explicit explanations, since if serious accusations (like racism) keep being implied rather than explicit, then they can’t be reasonably argued against. And serious accusations should be able to be argued against. But you can’t argue a negative; you need an actual rationalization to be explicitly stated, which is why I suspect that so many accusers are so incredibly vague in their accusations.

You, in this thread, keep just quoting and not explaining anything, which does not exactly help your case.
