In the case of cheese, I've had a long-running discussion with French extended family regarding exactly what the words refer to. Norwegian 'cheese' = 'ost', and we refer to the brown cheese produced by boiling and solidifying the left-over whey fluid from cheese production as 'brunost'; 'brown cheese'. This product is important in cultures where food security and calories are held at a premium.

My French relatives however, insist that this is not real cheese, as it is not fermented. But the Norwegian language has no such distinction -- the 'brunost' is an instance of 'mysost'; 'cheese produced from whey'. This is no less real cheese than the one you ferment from caseine.

This naturally led me down a rabbit hole of etymological investigation.

The best conclusion I've reached so far, is that the Germanic words stemming from 'kase', referring to caseine, naturally refer to cheeses that would mostly be fermented, as this is what happens with the solid caseine when you leave it around for a bit. Whereas Norwegian 'ost', stemming from 'yste', the verb for separating the caseine from the whey, makes no such distinction.

And ironically, the Latin-stemming words 'fromage', 'formagio', stem from Latin 'formicum'; something that is cast in a form. Having nothing at all to do with fermentation or even milk!

There are two conclusions here, one being that the dictionary translation of words does not capture somewhat-subtle but sometimes important distinctions between words.

The second conclusion is that my French relatives are wrong and brown cheese is in fact fromage. But not cheese, I will concede as much.
Good question.

As per usual process of Google, Amazon, Apple et al, the process for this GDPR Request is done online AFTER you've logged in with your ID.

In case of Apple this is done in the "Manage your Apple Account" area of your account settings, for which you need to be able to login first.

I'm not sure these companies have a process in place to provide you this data without you having access to your own account. Filing a GDPR Request like that might turn into a topic requiring support from a lawyer / consumer protection agency...

Unfortunately? I'd rather this usage stopped entirely. It just assists in the development of next-gen marketing/political/spam/astroturfing bots.
My wife got an iPhone recently, based on her experience users tap in the passcodes almost constantly because FaceID doesn't f**king work, and no fingerprint reader is present on the device.

Most of the time she still reaches for her old Android because it unlocks instantly (and properly, not to a stupid lock screen!) with a fingerprint.
Ah okay and now I’ll never sleep again, cheers.
In French, starboard and port are "tribord" (same etymology as "starboard", through Dutch) and "bâbord" ("back (of the oarman) board").

On stage, they are "côté cour" and "côté jardin" because the "Comédie-Française" theatre during the 1770 was in the Tuileries palace, and the stage was oriented with the Louvre courtyard on its right, and the Tuileries garden on its left.
Speaking of this, anyone have suggestions for an offline-tolerant distributed filesystem? Basically a dozen devices which get a few minutes/hours of internet access per day/week and not necessarily at the same time.

I've considered Git but not sure how much overhead it adds.
Because, as far as I know, the business is not hugely profitable and there's not much scope to change that. Yubico makes a product that is high quality, does exactly what it says on the tin, does not come with any integrated ads/AI or anything else like that, but in the grand scheme of things is fairly niche (I wonder how many people outside of the tech and perhaps gov sectors would even recognise the company name).

There's simply no way they can line up the "here's how we get to 1B users and then mine all their personal data" business plan that some other tech companies can do.
Babor y estribor in Spanish. In Spanish we used to say "siniestra", now we say "izquierda", a loanword from Basque 'ezkerra'.

Wow, I've never heard of "relational calculus" (maybe I assumed it a synonym for the algebra?), though I've only read Codd's first relational paper. Sounds perfect! I'll google - though would you recommend a particular reference?

BTW A possible term is programming-by-example (or "exemplary programming", to parallel fp's pun), where you give an example of what you want.
I suppose you end up with a specification language to specify what you want, which might well be very complex, and use composition.

Yeah, I think in prolog you can destructure and structure (construct) in the same expression, but in practice, recursion always seemed involved (IIRC a uni class). XSLT feels kinda similar (though uses paths instead of destructuring).

Answer Set Programming (also new to me) sounds like specifying the set you want.

The difficulty is then describing what you want - sometimes it's easier to state how to make it. Reminds me of AI in golden-era science fiction, where computers would do exactly what you asked (repackaging genie's three wishes).

Tillitis TKeys are very interesting but not yet a full replacement for Yubi in multiple aspects:

- they don't (yet) have all the features, or at least I couldn't find out how to do some of them without implementing them myself. Through due to the design of the TKey this can be added later without needing a new key or anything like that, you could even implement it yourself

- their design approach is a bit different from a Yubikey or similar, mainly it doesn't have any persistent (writable) memory. This has some drawbacks and some benefits. Benefits include that you can add applications later on, have endless many of them, and upgrade applications. E.g. a company handing this key out to 1000 employees and needs to switch to post quantum cryptography doesn't need to buy 1000 new keys, they just deploy an update and the users have to re-enroll their existing keys. Drawbacks include that you can't store anything on the key (TOTP, moving a OpenPGP key onto a Yubi key etc.) so for some appliances you need to have some metadata on the device where you want to use the key with (could be encrypted using the TKey, might just be a seed or similar to derive the right data using the TKey, etc.). Not a problem for typical enterprise use-cases, but a problem/inconvenience for your typical "private" user (which can be negated with support software).

Anyway I think I want to buy one.

That helps if you meet them in person, but if you communicate through radio waves, they'll have no way to know how to decode signal into an image with the intended left/right and up/down orientation
They can afford to. But will Microsoft risk doing that and massive possible lawsuit from Google.

Google is also owns a lot of it's own backbone, so It would be a lot easier for them to play network games.

And they could even try to be sneaky and try poisoning the data if it comes to that.

And since OpenAI konw that, since they probably have people that used to work at google at some point, they are unlikely to try.

Even less likely if Microsoft would know. MS is probably the only company that has even more layers than Oracle and they would not approve.
Without this patch QNX was simply not usable, since it had a random race condition in the kernel, which just broke everything.

They have incorporated the patch into some QNX 6.5 version, but we had to deliver the product long before they did this.

The criticism by several well known astronomists:

Tycho Brahe called out betrayal 1600.

Jean-Baptiste Joseph Delambre 1817 called it fake and fabricated observations, preconceptions, lies and plagiarism.

B. L. van der Waerden confirmed it 1988.

It was about the non-scientific methods, not the absurd results, given that the heliocentric view was known long before Ptolemy.

Well, every WAN is a LAN when looked from a sufficient distance.

DSL & Cable encapsulates Ethernet. City-wide networks are again Ethernet. In fact, everything is Ethernet with some routers between.

So, you're actually using a mixed-carrier Enthernet LAN with a couple of NATs in the way. You can build another LAN on your LAN with VPN, too.

I have this personality trait too. I suspect it was very beneficial in evolutionary times, when it was possible to learn everything that was known and then start using that knowledge. But in the modern world it becomes a bit of a personality flaw: you just learn and learn and learn, and then you die. :)

So the onboard video worked from the get go and then things got messy after you installed the Nvidia card?

You're not being very clear here what happened and if you're only using free software sources (the default for Debian I believe).

Also looks like you replied further down. You're not even describing an average home user case but saying it's a massive assumption that average users will have an easy time installing Linux. Lol.

Remember I was comparing the ease of installing a Linux system and having it functional is a hell of a lot smoother than Windows. That's just true in general. No assumption needed.

There's other distros that have rolling releases that tend to have more updated software in exchange for stability and thorough testing.
Certainly they can charge for their API. It was the CEO’s phrasing that was odd. That is their data and if people want to use it, they should pay up.

I think charging for the api is bad as it will make things like user apps harder. I think Reddit’s app is bad, so other apps need to use the api in order to function.
At this point in time trades seem like a pretty good bet. They pay well (in my country at least), you will always have work, and the skills you develop are very practical. Nice to be able to look at an issue with your own living space and comprehend what it will take to get it fixed.

But that isn't a very hacker news response. I guess you would also develop these sorts of skills in eg. industrial engineering.

There are plenty of other options if what you're spooked about is automation and language models erradicating all of our jobs. If you enjoy baking you might consider getting into it.

On the other hand, it might be best to ignore all the hype about LLMs and automation and go into whatever you feel most passionate about. Learning and working in whatever field will always lead to growth. It may eventually be GPT'd away, but then I know a lot of people who have completely changed career later in life and achieved success and satisfaction.
i see, ok thanks ! so, the concept-model idiom is still (pretty) useful...
It depends of course, but generally marine equipment is extremely expensive and if you want maps for navigation/fishing with different data like tides, fishing areas and many others, you'll pay a yearly subscription for that map region, and it ain't cheap either. And that's just for maps. Add to this some cloud monitoring service that also will cost something.

We've basically already seen this with computer aided design. It's essentially the root of Moore's law.

I'm not entirely convinced AI-aided software development (via copilot or whatever) is actually going to speed up development. It makes writing code faster, but pressing the keys or implementing simple functions was never the slow or difficult part.

The problem for the last several decades has been managing complexity, and that's something AI-aided programming doesn't help with. If anything my hunch is that it makes the problem worse. The increased speed of producing code means designs become even more shortsighted, the spaghetti even more byzantine and entangled.

Since I know better than to suggests C++ programmers might be more capable of making mistakes than they realise, lets try a different question: How do you spot this mistake when reviewing other people's code? Do you memorise a list of all the semantic requirements of each concept so that you can mentally check that the concept's requirements are satisfied appropriately by what was written each time ?
All major cities have areas and neighborhoods that are higher risk and not “safe”. You wouldn’t let your kid there, your partner or yourself go there typically.

I lived in North Philadelphia throughout college and a couple years after. It isn’t a lie to say you are operating at a different level of vigilance. Your behaviors change. So no, Hollywood didn’t tell me anything about North Philly, my experience did.

It’s quite amusing how everyone is saying US cities are safe and great like Baltimore, while they’re also saying “if you mostly stay in the gentrified or well established areas”. Is that even Baltimore then? Or a bubble within Baltimore?
It's good to see how opinions can be different.

I see it as a vague babbling with lots of wishful thinking leading to nowhere but to a (hypothetical?) "talent cloud" which I couldn't find any meaningful definition/description of.

The conclusion:

>By adopting a holistic workforce strategy, the self-driving space can overcome these challenges and smoothly transition into the talent cloud, enabling it to innovate and scale faster in the market.

>The future of self-driving technology is bright, and with the right talent and expertise, we can revolutionize how we think about transportation and mobility.
I'm not considering Wine emulation in isolation, I'm considering a scenario where someone would use this as a UI to inspect a SQLite database powering for example a Linux based NodeJS or PHP application.

Would the semantics of the Linux based application (with SQLite compiled for Linux) correspond to the UI (with SQLite compiled for Windows) running through an API emulation layer (Wine) that potentially translates semantics to run Windows applications as "natively" as possible.

Sure it might, but I wouldn't put money on it until verified.
(Luckily backing up SQLite databases isn't too hard)
That doesn't appear to be related. The word is not Germanic; Spanish is using the word it inherited from Latin, while English and Dutch are using the same word, borrowed from Latin.

In other words, the reason that Spanish is similar to English/Dutch here is that they borrowed the Spanish word, becoming more like Spanish. The reason Italian and French aren't similar to Spanish is that they changed while Spanish didn't.

In other news, old man yells at cloud. You conveniently ignore the changed reality: since the 90ies, the number of active internet users, malware, services, goods sold, and customer expectations have skyrocketed.

You're in no position to negotiate this with OpenAI because they already have the relevant data stored locally. So does Google/Bing. You could be in a position to negotiate it with smaller upcoming OpenAI competitors, but all that will achieve is granting OpenAI and Google/Bing a monopoly because their competitors will have new large costs that they don't.

Also, Medium has a metered paywall already. Why not just let them open up a corporate account and pay to access paywalled content the same way users do? Why are any negotiations required?

BTW I use Medium but I never use the paywall. I'm fine with my content being used to train AI for free. The payments and tax complexity involved aren't worth the tiny amount of income that any such deal might generate, nor do I want OpenAI to have a monopoly.
Indeed. But as a technical guy I wonder which kind of "shared secret" one could provide to a (call center) service-agent to prove the legitimate ownership of an account without doubt?

Companies circumvent this complexity by simply asking you to login before you can request anything. If someone has full access to your account, all information accessible should be considered as insufficient to validate you...

In the end such a GDPR-request without login would probably again be a case-by-case topic which needs to cross the desk of some legal department to approve the action. But yeah, at least there are strict guidelines for response-times and other obligations for the company.
> Understanding is a purely artificial/subjective concept.

Not necessarily. It can be mathematically defined as the ability predict the future, i.e. to assign (relatively) high probability to events that occur.
I checked my shoe and it seems like I stepped in some reddit and it smells like you.

You clearly haven't spent much time on reddit or you are part of the problem, but unless you are in a super niche subreddit with 5 people there is no escape. "tourist" like to go to subs (like the tech subs for example) they know nothing about and with great confidence spew out snarky, condescending bullshit. It's no longer about sharing and debating information it is about being "right" even if they are incorrect. Maybe I have just grown up and moved on to more mature communities where these problems don't exist
Then there's the problem of synchronization. How do you take two bodies of tagged data and merge them? How do you create a degree of certainty that the tags themselves have any similarity?
Why doesn't Instagram have a native iPad app?

It seems like an immensely profitable project that would take a relatively small amount of resources.

iPad users likely have a GDP bigger than France, I don't know a single millionaire who doesn't have one... yet their ability to click ads is very restricted by the mini/stretched screen.

How does the culture allow so many non-core projects to get priority over this?
It depends on the circumstances. First of all, if you suck too much, it might not be fun for yourself even under the best of circumstances. Secondly, yeah, if it's just for fun and especially if you're not the only who "sucks", it can be fine and as you say "liberating" and everybody's still having a good time. (Also, at least personally it feels easier to just relax and accept that you somewhat suck at that sport and still have some fun anyway if you're with a group of people you already know, which of course doesn't really work if you're going to a sports meetup to meet new people in the first place…)

However if you're the only one who comparatively really sucks and maybe on top everybody else is treating things a little more competitively, it possibly starts feeling a little bit too much like gym classes at school, where you always got selected as one of the last ones into a team because everybody knew you weren't really the sporty type and consequently wouldn't really improve any team's chances of winning…
