> Why should Japan care about Crimea or Ukraine?

For the same reason your neighbor should care if someone breaks into your home, points a gun at your family, and says half your house is theirs now. Oh and no police are coming.
> teams tries to stay out of it.

There is no "staying out of" politics or just "remaining neutral" on topics (edit: the context here is "when doing business with the one of the belligerents of a conflict, an oppressive regime and so on. Not universally).

Not taking a stand for one side in a two sided topic means taking the other side. Either you are pro gay rights or against it. Or you are pro democracy or against it. Or you are openly against the Russian invasion of Ukraine or you are against it - whether you are silent or not. so long as you do business with or in dictatorships. This applies to any tech company as much as it applies to FIFA or anyone else.

> one cannot feasibly produce resistors with values as elements of a dense subset of the real line, being, as analysis taught us, an uncountable set.

Thisnis hyperbolic.

The number of abstract mathematically plausible values is countable, not uncountable, and the number of practical values under real world tolerances is finite. Real numbers have nothing to do with it, and Egyptian fractions are useful for compressing a large finite set into a small finite basis. They do nothing thay helps compress infinite sets.
It seems quite obvious that a major global conflict comes with a cost. The main question becomes, is the cost worth it? Inaction also has a cost, possibly less cost in the short term while the profits keep rolling in and more cost in the long term when the tanks start rolling in.
What is a good alternative? Should it be indexed off the price of gold?
Apple would certainly benefit from more transparency in these matters, no question. Decoupling Safari updates from OS updates and better communication/tracking of issues and release dates would be a big help

At the same time, I don't really see why they should aim to replicate other browser bugs or be responsible for author's idiosyncratic assumptions regarding feature availability. It's a shame that browsers don't have to undergo strict compliance tests and that JavaScript is generally pretty much awful. Under these circumstances the most popular browser (Chrome) is taken as a gold standard and that can't be good for the open web.

That's not the case, there's a probability it may "spit back" the protected expression.
There's also a probability I, as a human "spit back" the protected expressions. This could either be by pure chance or from past learnings, reading the protected code and internalizing it as a solution, my subconscious forgetting I actually saw it elsewhere.

Takayuki Ueda is just trying to bully the ALP into making sure nothing rocks the boat for the LNG companies. It's worked in the past with the mining sector and the carbon tax. But after the 2020 bushfires and then the flooding. Most people in Australia are pretty happy to see movement on CC.

The law also says that pedestrians can be fined all of 4 euros for crossing at red and they have no responsibility in the case of an accident, which means in practice there are no consequences for crossing at red. As long as you check that you aren't going to be run over by a car, which people do. They cross at red if there are no cars.

But if these details are to play a factor in browser selection, one should reflect on the myriad of undesirable associations involved in going about daily life.

I care deeply about the safety and freedom of the LGBTQ+ community, and find little value in allowing someone else’s lack of acceptance of me dictate my life. Doing so is a form of “doing something” that does nothing but widen the gap to actual change, which can only ever happen via open dialogue.

I guess that depends on where you live, which takes us back to this being an infrastructure problem after all. Where I live, if you're lucky, the kerb is 1m wide, and half of that width is often occupied by bikes (or scooters). Making things difficult for pedestrians, and impossible for wheelchair users.
On the contrary this looks like the beginning of the end of USA global hegemony. The dollar relevance is degrading and while the west is siding closer with the USA, the rest of the world is distancing itself from them.

Regarding Japan this very news article contradicts you somehow.

> Finland joins NATO tomorrow.

Finland is insignificant from a geopolitical point of view. Its joining NATO only makes NATO less secure as a whole, rather than strenghtening it.
Not having much of an idea what I was looking at there, I asked GPT-4 to explain this to me. Quite helpful (though it didn't seem to know what "pn" was for)

----

This K program appears to be defining three functions (point, line, and draw) that are related to drawing a mathematical pattern.

point function:
point: {(y;pn[f%20;0.3x;0.1y]-18sin ypi%100)}
This function takes two arguments: y and a variable function pn[f%20;0.3x;0.1y]. The function computes a value based on these arguments and returns the result. The expression (f%20;0.3x;0.1y) inside the pn function seems to generate new values for x and y based on the input x and y. The final result is multiplied by -18 sin(y * pi % 100), which can create interesting patterns depending on the input values.

line function:
line: {((30;x)+)'point[x]'!100}
This function takes a single argument, x, and computes the result of the point function for 100 evenly spaced values of y in the range 0 to 1 (by indexing the point function with x and each value in the range '0 to 99'). The results are then shifted by (30; x) to create a new set of coordinates. The function returns a list of these transformed coordinates.

draw function:
draw: {,(,/line'38+6*!16;cga;1)}
This function generates a sequence of 16 values (from 0 to 15) and multiplies each by 6, then adds 38. It then computes the line function for each of these values and concatenates the results. The final expression (cga; 1) seems to be related to the color or other visual properties of the pattern, but it is not clear from the given code snippet how it is being used.

Overall, this K program appears to be generating a list of coordinates for a complex pattern by applying transformations to a series of points. The specific pattern depends on the input values and the function pn, which is not fully defined in the provided code snippet.
Casually calling for worldwide genocide (anthrocide) in the next century isn't cool. Humanity isn't going virtual.
It also doesn't mean that it will always be slow. There's another launch scheduled for this month and more to come after that. SpaceX is also launching satellites for many other internet competitors. As long as progress continues at this pace, rural customers will eventually have all the options they could want. Many people here are complaining about lack of infrastructure, look up!
Don't be so condescending - Finland is one of the few countries that successfully resisted a Russian invasion. It is very much capable of protecting itself, much more so than Ukraine (which is also doing it, albeit with significant support from the west).

The NATO (and the US actually) benefits a lot by Finland joining, and will benefit from Sweden joining too - only a matter of time.

GPT-4 reasons about a lot of gotcha logic puzzles correctly any pre GPT-4 opinions should be reconsidered, that is effectively two different epochs in the history of AI effectiveness and reasoning.

> Me: Mike leaves the elevator at the 2nd floor. Jenny leaves at the 9th floor. Who left the elevator first?

> Me: If the elevator started at the 10th floor, who would have left first?

> GPT-4: If the elevator started at the 10th floor and went downward, then Jenny would have left first, as she got off at the 9th floor, while Mike left at the 2nd floor.

> Me: How many footballs fit in a coffe-mug?

> GPT-4: A standard football (soccer ball) has a diameter of around 22 centimeters (8.65 inches), while a coffee mug is typically much smaller, with a diameter of around 8-10 centimeters (3-4 inches). Therefore, it is not possible to fit a standard football inside a coffee mug. If you were to use a mini football or a much larger mug, the number of footballs that could fit would depend on the specific sizes of the footballs and the mug.

Notwithstanding the complaints of the OP, Starlink is still a gamechanger in many less urban areas. The alternatives are often not tenable for remote work or even, really, for many things that a lot of people consider near-necessities.

You don't even need to be in the middle of a wilderness area. My brother has a house 10 minutes outside of a smallish Maine city. And his only Starlink options were a 1Mbps down DSL and a very data-capped cellular hotspot.

But a good wired connection is almost always going to be better.

> China and the Saudis are unlikely to somehow turn into genuine friends

This isn't the first time Apple sales have taken a hit in a downturn. The issue is if they significantly cut margins now, when the economy swings back up again the risk is they'll face an uphill battle growing margins again.

People delaying purchases, or buying lower spec models or alternatives now may well want to upgrade sooner when their financial situation improves. If Apple sacrifices margins they risk losing out on those high margin sales return in a few years time. In the long term it may be better to take the temporary hit to revenue now in order to preserve their margin structure long term.

What they might do is introduce down market models, or more likely keep older models around in the lineup longer than they otherwise would at a slightly reduced price. That would still mean taking a hit on sales at the top end, as here with M2.
That's fine but after experiencing the insane battery life of M1 I will not use another brand unless they somehow manage to beat apple silicon, which I hope they do but they have such an advantage.

Both UFC and WWE athletes are already independent contractors and have to privately buy stuff like health insurance while participating in a literal combat sport (UFC) and wrestling over 200 days a year (WWE). It's already a race to the bottom.

Much of the fear of AI is really a fear of concentrated increase in power of those controlling it. Decentralizing models mitigates that risk by spreading the power amongst a more diffuse population.

I don't see how it should be any different from the PC revolution. We've all got a 1970s supercomputer in our pocket now, for better or worse. But it's certainly preferable to only the richest and most powerful having one.

It's also worth noting that Apple has the bad habit of discontinuing Safari Technology Preview support on older macOS versions faster than they discontinue Safari support on older macOS versions, which results in testing gaps for Safari on those versions.

Safari supports the last 3 macOS versions, while Safari Technology Preview only supports the last 2. Take a wild guess which macOS version gets the most new regressions from new Safari versions.

Rich is an authority on the matter and I trust him that this will be a trend in the future.

However I greatly dislike this trend because I value my storage space. The less storage space a game wastes, the more games I can have installed. I would much rather like to have more games installed than have each game decode bitmaps more efficiently.

I also think it's a false dichotomy to say you can only choose between slow decoding methods with high bandwidth savings and fast decoding methods with low bandwidth savings. zstd has shown that you can have both fast decoding and high compression.

I don't understand why he would be using lz4 when he can have zstd. The speed advantage may look big on paper but nobody cares if your level loads in 3.2 vs 3.1 seconds.

Here in Canada the CRTC ordered incumbents to file tariffs and phase II cost studies for aggregated FTTP a few weeks ago by April 23rd. That is in part due to the new CRTC chairperson and the new policy directive that came into effect early in February. The CRTC quickly rejected the incumbents' "woe is us, we can't do that" letters last week. The 6 largest Canadian independent ISPs sold out to the large industry players over the past year in large part because they've hemorrhaged customers over the past 5 years without access to FTTP facilities. The regulatory problem being faced now is that competition has been almost completely gutted and now needs to be rebuilt.

I use Mullvad for 2 years and yeah it's been a good VPN. Global outage have been very rare, maybe it happened 2 or 3 times altogether. It happens however that some websites are blocking Mullvad servers, usually, it's just about switching to another server to get this working.

The desktop client also supports some obfuscation schemes (UDP over TCP) which is useful when you're in countries which block any kind of VPN. The default smartphone app doesn't support this out of the box, but they have some tutorials to setup Shadowsocks and OpenVPN to route the traffic over https as well
