The concept of native plants is both highly important and deeply problematic. It is much more convoluted than how it is explained in the article. Once you start digging into it, you find out there isn't actually a sound definition and it is rather arbitrary, maybe emotional even.

Some species who are introduced are, at first, considered exotic and often cause problems at the time of introduction. The successful ones are often called invasive (mostly pioneers in their native habitat). After a while, when attempts at eradication have become futile, we start to tolerate and merely try to control them a bit. This can take a long time. Then, something magical happens and suddenly we begin to consider them native plants. When, due to changing habitats, their numbers dwindle we sometimes start to care for them or even protect them. This happened with the sparrow in the Netherlands for example, which was a real pest when first introduced.

The most commonly cited benefit for native plants (and wildlife) is their co-evolution with other species. This makes them very beneficial to the ecosystem as sometimes hundreds of species rely on them as a source of food. It turns out that this process of co-evolution is happening a lot faster than people generally assume, and a vast array of plants that were brought from and to Europe some 200 to 400 years ago are now completely adapted. Ironically, they sometimes harbor even more relations with wildlife than the plants that have occurred in the same habitat before them, but are still considered non-native and even invasive.

I'd like to think of the concept of 'native' as (at its best) an indirect indicator for 'co-evolved' or 'adapted' species, signifying its harmonious place in the ecosystem. A good yet often flawed rule of thumb in the absence of actual knowledge. However, I can't help but think when people use the word that it is also something very cultural, something people just take for granted because someone once drew a line in the sand (time of the settlers) and after that line every newly introduced species is considered non-native. It is interesting to look more closely at this cultural construct of nativity, as it can hide a palette of more substantial values behind a thin facade of ecological benefits. Something like what people mean when they use the word tradition.
Why does that matter? Pricing should be easy to understand for customers.

In places like Europe telcos are able to do it just fine. What you see is what you pay.
If you use a calculator, you did not perform the calculation, the calculator did. In a similar vain an LLM could be seen as a calculator for text. With a calculator, you give it a task like perform the calculation 12*55. With an LLM you give a task like, write an outline of an essay on topic X. In both cases you used a tool to perform the task, the only difference is that the tools are becoming more powerful.

Still, learning to calculate without using a calculator and learning to write without using an LLM are in themselves useful skills that can improve the thinking process, so both should be taught.

Are there any advantages to the aluminium version of a moka pot aside from tradition/aesthetics?

I switched to one of the (Bialetti-made) stainless steel ones ("Venus" shape) because at one point I lived somewhere with an induction hob. I immaculately saw that the stainless version was considerably easier to clean. Cleaning, afterall, is half the job of using one of these.

Visually, I prefer the aluminium shape of course, but they are a real nightmare to keep clean and presumably you're drinking a lot of that aluminium oxide.

That's the only mention of AI using content. So it can be read in a few ways:

1. They will sometimes use the data for training their RLHF stuff, to "prevent harmful use" of the services.

2. The clause is exhaustive and therefore they won't use it for training, as otherwise that'd be mentioned, and are just going to log stuff for the usual monitoring purposes.

This is a storm in a teacup. I don't even know why I should care. If MS crawl some web pages I've written and AI gets slightly smarter by reading them, or if I have a chat with the AI and some engineers use it to make the AI work better, great. It's very hard to imagine concrete, real harm from them being able to do this, though I can understand why companies might worry about it spitting out their source code verbatim in some cases.
Thanks.

The context was "densification if done right could even make things quieter", and Copenhagen — at least the centre and inner districts — is generally considered to be doing things right.

Slowly driven electric cars are slightly quieter than slowly driven petrol/diesel cars, but the greater improvement is the slowly driven vans, trucks, refuse lorries and so on.

(Especially the electric refuse lorries! No more loud diesel thing emptying bins at silly-in-the-morning.)
You're the one who's instinctual association was to a dominatrix. It's your viewpoint of oppression and domination that's clouding your judgement.

Maybe one day we'll live in an AI supported paradise and you won't need to take risks.

Until we get there, it's going to be men's shitty role to take risks. I appreciate everyone who takes risk, men are just programmed for it.

And they need this dumb incentive carrot at the end. They need to see those few men at the top who made it to want to take their risk. You shouldn't hate them for it.

You have one sperm out of millions reaching the egg, while the egg's risk is that nothing will come. Until our society devolves into the women artificially inseminating themselves while being supported by robots in paradise, the real risk to society is that men stop taking risks. The least you can do is have some compassion for the fools.
That's no longer the halting problem: formally, the input to a halting oracle is

>The semantics is the actual mathematical ideas going on within the head of the mathematician

I think this intuitionism in the (original) sense of Brouwer.

Martin-Löf argued for something different:

"Martin-Löf’s meaning theory of intuitionistic type theory should be understood directly and “pre-mathematically”, that is, without assuming a meta-language such as set theory."

"This meaning theory follows the Wittgensteinian meaning-as-use tradition."

> nobody remembers or cares 30 years later how it actually went down

Or, nobody remembers why the number is valuable. That was the problem with my grandmother; when she told the story to us, telephone numbers had looong ceased to be significant (or indeed, hard to get) so the fact that yours was small or big didn't mean anything, and it sounded so strange to us that one would cherish it.
It's less powerful, but also orders of magnitude less bloated and faster. OSMAnd has that quintessential kitchen-sink application feeling where features is the main concern and cohesive design an afterthought.
I think he meant that instead of each company creating their own ToS, the government should set the standard or limitations on what a company can do.

The true failure is government. Mozilla shouldn’t have to lead this. The prosecutor should be the regulator.

With GDPR, if it's not a defined goal then the answer is no. In the USA, I hear things of some states having a similar law now but as a blanket statement without defined region (not even country) I'm not surprised if you can't give a definitive "no".

A few days ago I accidentally put wife's beloved Bialetti Brikka pot in the dishwasher. The aluminium lost its anodized coating due to chemical reaction with the detergent (alkaline I think), and the pot turned dull/dark gray. Scrubbing the surface left some gray mark on fingers, which got me wonder if aluminium is actually safe for making coffee? Bialetti also sells stainless steel pots, and I wonder if they're safer to use.
Also it was pretty easy to lose them. Specially young, but even later. Wars, disease, accidents. So you also wanted a backups. Going even back to beginning of previous century, having 5-7 kids and losing 2-4 of them was common.

This does require that the resident of the house is aware that they, in this example, have a cellar to check. Of course, if you aren't aware you have a cellar, you won't have stored anything personal or of import in it that could get damaged either.

I can personally attest that having a working sense of smell is not a reliable method for knowing what something novel-to-you is and it can be easy to misattribute. Decomposition of flesh has a very unique smell in my experience, but it was only through that experience that I now know that that smell is flesh decomposition (and not related to nearby farmland work).

It is pretty amazing (and horrifying) to me that there are also some people who discover that someone else has been secretly living in their home with them. I can only imagine how intrusive that would be and the paranoia that would set in after such a discovery, even if they moved to a new house. I wonder if this has become even less prevalent given the use of internal cameras?

I think this actually rather reinforces your point, even if it contradicts the assertion in the leading sentence. How much can you expect people to know their computer has been co-opted, which might be an almost completely alien environment to them, if it is possible to co-opt someone's home (an environment they are intimately familiar with)?

Key word is "may" be completely irrelevant! Of course, if you're providing an Excel of customer data, it will be relevant if the user is in the EU. But still, consent won't be relevant in that context.

User content may include personal data but may also not...so in some senses, better to include totality of use cases in a non-data protection related document.

He is not adhering to a contract, so that's the point he is making for some reason, and not the opposite. t was more of a joke, because he does hold some weird views about free market ("rules for thee and not for me", stuff like that).
If they don't explicitly say in the ToS that they aren't going to use it in any particular way, then you can be sure that they are if there is potential for commercial gain.

Even if they do explicitly say that they aren't going to use it, I'm going to be sceptical. There will be a nice pile of caveats and exclusions within the legalese, and if not they might just use it anyway and hope they can afford to ride out any resulting legal action if people notice.
Especially when the abyss stares back at you and it's chatty and apologetic.

Yes it captures the essence, but if you have a category of ZF sets you still need to demonstrate that a product exists. This is just a possible product (along with its projections).
Which is funny because Moby split the Dockerfile format from Docker, so you no longer need the Dockerfile format to make Docker images. At the top of a “Dockerfile” is

# syntax=docker/dockerfile:v1

Which is a Docker image that translates the declarative syntax into the commands sent to the low-level builder. That syntax is pointing to a Docker image name and tag (`docker/dockerfile:v1`) that Buildkit pulls down and feeds the passed commands into. Technically, that could be anything. If you wanted to put in the work, you could write a Buildkit frontend for Ansible or Chef and use that to configure the image.

So, on the list of “4 things Docker is”, they were wrong on the first one.

A family member who is an 'above average' commuter has rebuilt bikes more than once until the frames wear out. He does commutes from Haarlem to Amsterdam every day and that really adds up in kilometers. It's never been a problem to get parts. Also: there is always the local equivalent of ebay if you want to keep bikes running, plenty of new old stock and parts with very little wear on them for sale. For a while I had a pretty rare team bike, a Guerciotti and even for that bike of which I'm pretty sure no more than a handful were ever made parts were readily available. Bikes are - fortunately - a commodity.

What van Moof tried to do is the playbook of every crappy startup: to graft on future revenue onto an initial sale. Every trick they could employ to bind the customer to them they pulled and that's exactly what did them in. The bike industry from a bike manufacturers point of view looks completely different than from a bike parts manufacturers point of view. The amount of knowledge required to build a bike is a small fraction of the amount of knowledge required to build all the parts. So most manufacturers will select parts to achieve a certain price point and quality level, add their own frames (or even outsource the building of the frames) and slap their label on it. And even then they sometimes get it horribly wrong, for instance the 'Stella' brand (a mailorder brand in NL) seems to be incapable of designing a decent bike in spite of using quality parts. Bad chainlines, cracked frames, weird rake angles, I don't think there is a beginners mistake they haven't made yet.

Van Moof could have been just as successful as Brompton, who make a relatively niche bike that is expensive but has an excellent reputation. Instead they wanted to be Apple, but without the incremental progress that got Apple to where they are today. It's an example of premature scaling: some strategies only make sense if you have achieved a certain scale. You can't leapfrog that process by deploying those strategies early, it will just bite you.

It’s interesting to understand how it works. It’s not completely useless knowledge and it’s a good exercise. A bit like learning advanced maths at school. You will probably never need to do the same maths after but it’s good training and brain exercises.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am on Linux Mint with Cinnamon (and evaluating to move to Debian testing with Gnome or XFCE when the Wayland support will be available).

I don't think the standards have to be low, but the software engineering field would have to be narrowed down. Only teach and use a certain few languages, only use certain tools, only use certain patterns, only use a specific few frameworks etc. That's basically what construction engineering is. There are many ways to build a house, but only a few that are approved and accepted.

It could maybe work, although new inventions would be slow to catch on. A bit like in construction engineering today.

Maybe for some security related tasks it should be a requirement in some cases. A bit like software for airplanes and trains etc.
