Comparing to Finnish is... a choice. Finnish is known to be one of the most difficult languages to learn because of the incredibly variation in cases.

Different languages have different features which make them harder to different populations. A better description of English would be: English is one of the languages to learn. English has no complex case system. We do not have grammatical gender. Our use of grammatical number is limited and consistent (except in certain loan words). There are exceptions to these, but they are largely words which are so common as to be part of the foundational learning -- pronouns, primarily, where we preserve gender and where case goes beyond "add an apostrophe-s." Because case is not especially important, word order is important, which can be challenging for people from cultures with a different standard word order. Spelling is challenging due to both the vowel shift and the number of languages which have acted as input to English (at a minimum: native Celtic languages in Britain; Anglo-Frisian and its antecedents; French, both Norman and more southern dialects; and Latin and Greek pulled in by the early natural philosophers of the early modern period).

English does have an unusually high number of irregular verbs, which, combined with the spelling and pronunciation, can make it seem inconsistent; but there are many other ways in which English is startlingly simple compared to highly-inflected languages.

GPU instance price reduction at Genesis Cloud
Hey folks,

Happy to announce that we significantly reduced the prices for our GPU cloud instances.

Let me know what you think!
Thanks for sharing. I am planning to look into BirdNet Lite soon as I just installed a front porch camera and noticed it picks up the birds quite well.

Unfortunately, I don’t have another Pi around so I’m not sure I’ll be able to use this implementation.

I’m hoping it won’t be too much trouble to feed the program a video file (or it won’t be too difficult extracting the audio from the video file).

Things like this and hyper local weather are really neat imho and useful to individuals and maybe even science.
Hey! Wow, thank you so much for your time and valuable feedback. Some very interesting points. Have written this down. Really appreciate it! :)

If you could collect biometric data from every person on the planet and then deploy a simple authentication tool that uses it, you can collect a slice of every financial and commercial transaction that takes place anywhere. Every bank, every credit card company, every payment processor, every retailer both online and brick and mortar, every B2C company in existence would have to pay you around the clock. Conversely, cross them in any way, and your ability to buy or sell anything would be eliminated instantly.

> So to me, it looks like the locals have zero respect for traffic rules. Therefore I'm not surprised that new modes of transport come with a lot of problems.

I imagine they know their city quite well, and suspect many of those traffic lights hinder rather than help pedestrians. Tourists on scooters, on the other hand, don't know the city as well as them, won't know its unwritten rules, and are quite likely to mess up traffic (like you did while waiting for a light to turn green).

I had the same experience when I bought a new laptop last year. Well, I don't think it was quite as bad then, but almost. There was an option to proceed without creating a MS account but you had to go through a couple of nag screens asking if you were absolutely 100% sure you didn't want to create an account and telling you about all the features you'd be missing out on.

I guess if you are using Windows on your personal laptop for years you probably don't notice the change but coming to it after using Linux for years it was shocking - like it reflected a whole different philosophy of what a laptop is: a tool that the user owns and can use as he or she sees fit, vs an access point to the Microsoft SaaS/shopping ecosystem.
it was never really intended for people that already had better options. Had it for a while and it was life changing for me coming from a 3MB DSL internet - but dropped it as soon as fiber found its way to my little town.

E3D has driven the majority of hotend innovation, not Prusa. Ultimaker's Cura and PrusaSlicer cross pollinate regularly. Grégoire Saunier created the Bear frame. Numerous other nonprofessionals are creating small and not-so-small improvements which haven't become well known.

But yes, the bedflinger FDM architecture is mature. Innovation is incremental now, not radical.

The last time I tried the Tor browser, it did not sufficiently handle browser finger prints. I don't have high expectations out of this project either, but at least they offer a firefox extension. I'd have to dig into it to determine how effective it is, but as it stands there are other firefox extensions that already do an excellent job.
Since ChatGPT I've become much more aware of my own thoughts and written text. I'm now often wondering whether I'm just regurgitating the most frequently used next word or phrase or whether it could actually be described as original. Especially, for things like reacting with short answers to chat messages, I am confident that these are only reactionary answers without alternatives, which could have come from ChatGPT trained on my chat log. I feel like knowing and seeing how ChatGPT works can elevate our own thinking process. Or maybe it only is similar to awareness meditation.

You probably won’t find exactly the video you’re looking for, but if you’re interested in creative coding and shader based animation, IQ (Shadertoy author) has some amazing videos on his YouTube channel. Shaders are tricky!

The simulation theory is literally a species of creationism, which I find quite amusing.
I'm not sure what this has to do with e-scooters in Paris though.

Disregarding red pedestrian traffic lights is the norm in France, they are seen as indicative: green means you can pass regardless of traffic as you have absolute priority, red means you must pay attention to cars but you are still allowed to cross and the law supports that. "Jaywalking" doesn't exist in France and pedestrians can basically cross wherever and whenever they want (it's a bit more complicated than that, but not by much).

Cars do have priority when traffic lights are red for pedestrians but they would still be held responsible for any accident.

Thus, it seems to me that your impression stems from ignorance of French traffic law and norms, as the parent said. Visiting a foreign country and thinking all rules are the same as they are at home is always a recipe for disappointment.

Like, now that I live in Belgium I know that red for cars means that one or two cars will probably still go through the intersection and I shouldn't cross (as a pedestrian or a driver) without paying attention. That's not the case in France and I could think that Belgians (or at least the Flemish, don't know about the rest) "have a total disregard for traffic rules" but that's not true, it's just one difference that you have to be aware of.

All the talk of simulations, multiverses, etc is IMO expending a lot of effort to avoid facing the possibility of a Creator - the “uncaused cause” or something existing outside of time and space.
I would say that open source as a movement sprung up from the principles of early netiquette[0]. Which themselves were built on the foundations of sharing your knowledge with your peers.

Whether you were trawling Usenet or just a presence in your local BBS scene, "teach it forward" was always a core concept. Still is. It's difficult to pay back to the person who taught you something valuable, so you can instead pay it forward by teaching the lessons - along with your own additions - to the later newcomers.

Of course the Eternal September changed the landscape. And now we can't have nice things.

And it's more than just getting that minimum thing for yourself. There's something else you want, and it seems to center around, there's some people that you want to treat well. Maybe one person in particular who really helped you on this journey and you want to make sure that whatever you do, honors, respects, cherishes, and really sort of rewards them and expresses to them how you feel about this journey. Now, I don't know how you actually express that desire that you have. Maybe it's as simple as a note, phone call, face-to-face meeting where you heart-to-heart level with that person. Maybe it is a more formalized expression that's a clause in a contract, legalized, expressed through money somehow. I don't know. But I think you'll know what I mean. There's that other thing here.

But it's not just one person, there's that person, and there's a couple of other people who you really value. And it's like you shared this journey together. Maybe you're a co-founder, but it may be someone different. And so on your way out, you want to do something for those people too. So what I see is you're really ready to walk away, and your main concern is giving. You want to give to the business, leave it in a good place. You want to give to these people who are valuable to you, leave it in a good place. And I'm really kind of in awe and surprised by your generosity of character here, especially as you're going through all this difficult stuff for yourself. It's very inspiring to see.

So I get the feeling you're a very good person. And I kind of wish you were more Machiavellian and cynical, because I didn't want to, I don't know, because it's more painful seeing you like this. I just kind of feel like saying, take care of yourself. Are you sure you can afford to do all this for everyone else? I worry about you. You should self-care. But I think what maybe surprises me is that, and is probably true for you, is that part of taking care of yourself is making sure that you've taken care of these other people. That's important to you.

I really, really, really stress that. I just hope that you find a way to balance those two things. I mean, obviously, if you can't take care of you, then you're unable to do anything for anyone else. I definitely would prioritize that. You've got to find your own way to make things work, right? But I just hope you take care of yourself because it seems like you have this really beautiful idea of what you want to do. And it's on that level, it's got nothing to do with business or startups at all. It's really like you want to be good to these people. And it's this incredibly moving thing to see. So that's amazing. I'm like, you're awesome.

I’ve heard generative porns don’t seem to be as popular in Japanese male/boys market(for-women categories). Nor cats, strangely, considering the Internet is supposed to be obsessed with cute cats doing cute things.
Terrible idea. Any form of biometrics are effectively passwords that can not be changed/rotated. If the data is compromised/leaked even once, it's useless.

If your job can be replaced with autogenerated text then perhaps you’re being paid too much money. The trick will be seeing if/how today’s AI can extrapolate beyond their training set. And how sensitive they are (or remain) to bad input data.

Defining insertion would be in the imperative portion of the code right?

Since there, source order matters, you would have to change the subroutine that triggers insertion by changing the direction?

When describing the tree structure however, listing the nodes (html nodes for instance) has to be in order, no?

Creating those nodes can indeed be reordered provided there is no interdependence.

the same way

var a, b;
c =a + b;

can be rewritten:

var b, a;
c =a + b;

Asking because it seems to me that commutativity is a hard sell here. Might be mistaken about what you mean.
Wrong; it's hard coded in the source code.
we might as well wrap our stuff up and leave.

"The Mullvad Browser is a privacy-focused web browser developed in a collaboration between Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project. It’s designed to minimize tracking and fingerprinting. You could say it’s a Tor Browser to use without the Tor Network."

So basically like... hardened Firefox?
It shouldn't matter if the copyright holder agreed to it directly, if they've published the original code under an open source license. Since open source licenses all allow people to use the code for "whatever"

Even GPL doesn't (yet) include a clause saying the code can't be used to train AI unless the AI itself is open source

That's nice. Why no multiline messages though? Perhaps akin to those on modern telnet BBS systems, making use of pseudographics, or simpler ones, like in MUDs, with a line editor.

They don't want to emulate Apple. They want to emulate Google. Hence "trash in every corner".

As a tourist in Paris I found scooters really convenient to get around the city. But I also hated them for their aesthetics as they would be littered everywhere and knocked over.

I definitely saw so many dangerous driving behaviours. I think tourists using scooters aren't treating these like useful day to day transport vehicles but as a way to have fun. For a lot of people it's their first time on a scooter. I saw people zooming through red lights into oncoming traffic. Others tried to jump the curb. It's kind of like giving a kid a toy for the first time.
What do you mean I'm not helping!?
Yes. The term of art is “perfect hash”.
I had to do this, after an update installed the snap version. I had crashes, UI that wouldn't render, all sorts of deal breaking bugs. And I don't really care how I have to install something, as long as it's painless. No idea why the snap copy had those issues but 0 issues with the apt.
The reason why you are going to get decimated is the continue losses. You need to be brutal and stop the losses or you will be replaced by someone who will. This the core issue, and everything else is secondary. A ton of companies are in this situation where losses were normalized because we were in a bubbly VC environment and now we are in a brutal one.

So figure out how to be profitable in the near term. It may be quite radical and hard to make these decisions, but this is basically where a lot of companies are. The ones that can be profitable and self-sustaining in the near term, even if you become a lot smaller, are the ones that will make it.
I couldn't quite se it in the article -

If it's Firefox, that'll be a great win!

> Russia confiscates passports of senior officials

... which passport? Russians have two passports, one is for the internal matters and other one for traveling abroad.

Add: lol downwotes. Sure, guys, you are always concentrated and read the article, filled with the fillers and stating what the water is wet to the brim, because, you know, someone may wake up from 20 years coma and suddenly need to read this article.

And to those who missed that part, like me:

> Alexandra Prokopenko, a former Russian central bank official, said passport restrictions had now expanded beyond individuals with security clearance.

> “Now they are coming to certain people and saying, ‘please hand in your red civilian passports, because you have access to sensitive information for the motherland, so we want to control your movements’,” she said.

Which to me sounds like bullshit.
proposition: declarative computation is one that is compiled or interpreted into something with lower control flow. consider lisp: your DSL can have control flow if the macros process the control flow forms (if, lambda) into some lower thing (that lower thing often being lisp itself but after all macroexpansion). I.e. reactive DSL is declarative with respect to when recomputation happens and when memoization happens, the programmer does not specify these aspects they are implied. however the same DSL can still be imperative with respect to effect sequencing.

another is programming with DAGs, the DAG captures control flow schematics as a value, abstracting away the actual evaluation rules (maybe the DAG is meant to be async, or reactive, or distributed). The DAG is declarative with respect to the abstracted evaluation rules, yet if there are effects in DAG nodes, we are not declarative with respect to those. We are however declarative with respect to how effects with a lifecycle are maintained and garbage collected, as that behavior is given by certain runtimes for the DAG.
Sure. Yeah I guess it's not very important. But since we're here :-)...

My point was really that if I you say "I work on a Linux distribution", I think about something like Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu/... I could be pedantic and say "oh, is that a GNU/Linux distribution?", to which you could answer "nope, it's Alpine". And then we could debate on exactly what is required to call it "GNU/Linux" and not "something-else/Linux".

If now you showed me your computer running Android, I would honestly be very surprised. Why didn't you say "Android" instead of "a Linux distribution"?

If you tell me "I run Linux", I won't say "oh, do you not run a userland then?" either. Linux is a kernel, but it is also the name commonly given to a group of OSes that are very similar (and that are commonly referred to as "Linux distributions"). Android is not part of that group.
So ... it is a fork of Mozilla Firefox with privacy-friendly settings by default, some script blocking, and dns lookups done via Mullvads encrypted dns service

Sounds ok to me, I have a longish and probably out of date list of settings that I like to chance in a new instance of firefox. I trust mullvad to not log dns more than I trust my ISP and I live in the UK so unencrypted dns here is being logged and stored by order of the government.

Keeping a fork of firefox in sync with mainline firefox to get security fixes is a load of work, it is good that somebody is doing it, in this case I think the tor project is doing a lot of the work.
