> As the violence in Mandalay worsens, the head of Deloitte in Myanmar gets an urgent call. Zaw Htay, the official spokesman of Myanmar’s president, needs help reaching Meta. The Deloitte executive works into the night trying to get someone to respond, but never gets through. On the third day of rioting, the government gets tired of waiting and blocks access to Facebook in Mandalay. The block works — the riots died down. And the Deloitte guy’s inbox suddenly fills with emails from Meta staffers wanting to know why Facebook has been blocked
"Baw mow" is my attempt to write down how a typical Englishman who knows some French might say it. A "typical Englishman" generally has an awful French accent. I don't know how to represent a real French accent phonetically! (IPA is beyond me)

The article itself is largely a collection of 18th century notables trashing others for their bad latin | poor education | etc. - a montage of amusing literary smack talk.

The GP comment specifically cited "well educated women" as rarely being taught latin.

I'd argue that anyone (in the full population) getting an education was rare, particularly a good education, this was largely confined to the titled generational wealthy and a few of the merchant new rich (at that time of the article anecdotes).

I'd also argue that amoung the wealthy, women were somewhat less likely to get a good education than the men, but it was not altogether uncommon, and of those women that did get an education (the "well educated" of the comment I responded to above) latin was just as likely as other subjects.

As an example, Anne Isabella Noel Byron, 11th Baroness Wentworth and Baroness Byron (née Milbanke; 17 May 1792 – 16 May 1860) (yeah, I know, sliding out of the time frame) was well known for her education and language skills (including latin) in additional for tag lining her husband of some two or three years as mad, bad, and dangerous to know.

Her daughter was equally famous for her education .. but her mother very delibrately did not have her taught literature (save for 'common' language skills such as Greek and French, I can't say whether she was taught latin or not) to prevent her from going down any poetic pathways. Ada did get private tuition from leading mathematicians of the day though.

Dropping back to the 14th Century (a time the article cites anecdotes claiming to be 'better educated times') it was common for well off women to be taught the classical languages (including latin) Queen Elizabeth the first being famously fluent from a young age in multiple languages.

an article that highlights one of the great barriers women (from wealthy families) faced in eduction - access to political education.

I mentioned Eton, Harrow and Westminster above as schools that were exclusive boys only clubs for political education and political contact building.

Why do you think that? The number of extreme climate events is higher today than in previous centuries, but the number of people killed by these events - controlled for population - is much smaller. We are WAY better at mitigating climate problems after they happen than we are at stopping them from happening

LLMs are not worthless for programming. You just cannot expect it to ship a full programm for you, but for generating functions with limited scope, I found it very useful. How to make use of a new and common libary for example. But of course you have to check and test.

And for text I know people who use it succesfully (professionally) to generate texts for them as a summary from some data. They still have to proof read, but it saves them time, so it is valuable.

You can protect against it by leaving your belongings in the hotel bathtub where bedbugs can't get in, or putting possessions in the dryer when you get home from travel. I agree that you're just going to have to accept that nurses might have them; this will reduce the demand for nurses, the same way I won't buy furniture from Goodwill any more.
Usually the marketer is stuck between a rock and hard place. A semi-technical marketer will report into a completely non-technical org led by a CMO who thinks pivot tables are black magic. But they same CMO has promised the CEO and the board that they can integrate their product analytics into their pipeline performance reports, and have it by next week.

Sure the marketer can say no, but the CMO doesn't understand why it is a no because their buddy CMO's marketing team does it already (not understanding the work that went into making it happen at that company). So the CMO interprets no as a performance issue not a technical or process issue.

And this happens all the time. So at some point the marketer is stuck between building a one off report in a spreadsheet or using the tools they have access to (usually something like zapier, or some marketing automation platform) to build a good enough solution that gets presented at the board meeting, and everyone is happy.

Play this on repeat with, marketing, sales, hr, finance etc every month.

The alternative to low code isn't code, it is excel spreadsheets.

The balkans is one of the places I feel needs to just go for the lots of “city states” with alliances and treaties between them as they individually desire… I genuinely don’t know how they can really draw a map around any relatively “country sized” contiguous area (yes I know some countries are tiny Im suggesting they need a lot of such tiny countries, I’m talking about areas roughly the size of the current countries or a bit smaller or larger) … and hope to use the new borders to somehow settle things… the area is basically fractured like some bad sci-fi or cyberpunk city where there’s an overall “city” but every neighbourhood or two is vastly different… like this Chinatown is the recent immigrants Chinatown, then there’s little Italy, then you’ve got Japantown, oh now it’s the mixed Anglo suburb, oh now it’s the Chinatown for immigrants who’ve been here for over a hundred years and who have a very different culture to the recent immigrants, oh and now it’s little Russia and here’s little Vietnam….

There’s no stitching this together properly without making it worse… let the mess break up into tiny countries with borders they are happy with, kick anyone that wants to control too much surrounding territory (as in they think someone else’s city state shouldn’t exist) square in the head and just protect the lot with either a permanent NATO presence or use it as the excuse to give Frontex the EU’s common border and coast guard a sibling and actually make a damn Army of the European Union, have some fun with the name even, the European Union Defence Forces doesn’t sound too bad in French either, “Forces dē défense de l’Union Européenne” FDUE, EUDF, im just using Google translate so I’m sure some actual French speaking people could probably come up with another clever NATO style name where the acronym is the same in French…
It's a shitshow on both sides.

On the one side, the Serbian president is exactly what the rest of the comments here describe him as, and worse. The situation would be infinitely better if he recognised Kosovo and moved on. Instead, he keeps the question open purely for his own political advantage, ensuring that the tensions remain at the expense of the people.

On the other side, Kosovo is a military industrial complex puppet state that they've cut ties with/lost control of (intentionally or otherwise). It has been ramping up its opportunistic bullying and provocative abuse of the minority population in the north, who as of last year have no representation at all in local government, and are pretty helpless.

The unfortunate victims at this point in time are the minority Serbs in northern Kosovo, and more widely, the general Serbian population, who just like in the case of Brexit are being held hostage by their predominantly older, state-owned TV-watching, voting population who overwhelmingly vote for Vucic. Meanwhile, weapons have been flooding into the region from both the east and the west at alarming rates for the last couple of years, so he must be useful to someone.

Nobody wants this, but war is money, so here we are.

I mean I don't expect it to know me personally, I'm just saying, if you're calling this AI search, Artificially Intelligent Search, it could make a lot of assumptions about anyone, even people it's never met before, that would make it feel a lot more like an AI search engine than just a search engine chatbot. And considering that ML operates basically entirely in a world of averages weighted against it's input data, this seems like exactly the sort of thing it would traffic best in.

If you ask it, for example, what color paint to use in a given room, it could use a set of assumptions to help inform that decision. Most people use eggshell colors for a slight reflectivity that brightens a room. Most people use warmer colors for similar reasons. Most people avoid super dark colors unless they're into them and they own the home since landlords typically dislike that. On and on. Now does that apply to me, goth ass that I am who owns a home and has an office painted black? No. But I also understand I am not the norm and would not be opposed to correcting the AI of these assumptions.

And, even further, since both Bing and Google operate amongst both tech conglomerate monoliths, they could start to know me personally. Like that whenever I search for new restaurants I look for the traffic indicators because I don't like crowded places, so when I ask about where to eat, it might check for local eateries I haven't been to before that aren't particularly busy today. Or that when I look for electronic home gadgets they need to be compatible with HomeKit, or I don't buy them/am not interested. And REAL HomeKit, not "works with Siri" shit that requires an app and shortcuts.

In my mind, this is what would differentiate AI from just chatbot search.

We're still doing psychosurgery - far more precise and advanced than Freeman and Watts's lobotomies, but not fundamentally different. Today the most common targets are in the cingulate gyrus rather than the prefrontal cortex, but we're still basically cutting or burning out bits of brain. It has become comparatively rare due to the wide array of treatment options now available for severe mental illness, but psychosurgery may still be the least-worst option for people with debilitating and intractable depression, OCD or chronic pain where all other treatments have failed.

Freeman was undoubtedly a cowboy, but his poor practice has warped our understanding of psychosurgery. Freeman didn't invent the lobotomy and was widely condemned by many of his contemporaries, including his former surgical partner James Watts. We overlook the extraordinary suffering caused by severe mental illness and forget just how few treatments existed prior to the great pharmaceutical revolution of the 1950s. Freeman's more conservative contemporaries were, for the most part, responsible clinicians trying to do their best for patients who were experiencing unbearable suffering and had no better options.

Alpine is just used for pure client lightweight interactions, such as toggling a menu (if CSS was insufficient) or (in this case) handling the audio player controls. Of course, I could even go more lightweight, and just use vanilla JS in such cases, but as both libraries are pretty small anyway it was easier to manage client DOM interactions with Alpine.

There's no JSON in this site: the only pure non-HTML interaction is a "ping" where the audio player posts the latest play time of an episode every few seconds while running, so that if the user switches to another device, or closes the tab, they get the latest runtime of the last episode they were listening to.

In terms of performance, I found there wasn't much difference between this approach and an SPA. For example, if I navigate from page A to page B in a React app, I still need to fetch JSON or GraphQL data for that new page, perhaps including multiple round trips to the server depending on the API design. With HTMX, I can just fetch a small HTML snippet: for example, if I click a "Subscribe" button, it just returns some new HTML showing "Unsubscribe" and updated URL or whatever. Sure you can do that with plain Alpine, but HTMX makes it easier to reason about state, which I'd need to otherwise manage client side (e.g. keeping a tally of all my subscribed podcasts).

HTMX also provides solutions for things like updating state in multiple places: for example you if you have a shopping cart, and you want to update not only the cart itself but a counter widget in the navbar, you can do "out of band" responses that can insert snippets of content outside the main target. Again, totally doable with Alpine, but more work for me.

And not every interaction has to be a server round-trip, you can certainly push work to the client side if needed, and use Alpine or vanilla JS or even React if you want: in a work project for example, we had most of the site in HTMX, but used React for a dashboard page with lots of complex interactive graphs and whatnot.

As I said, it was a pretty simple app, certainly not as complex as Spotify. But given that the often repeated example of when to use an SPA is "running an audio player while navigating around the site", it makes me wonder why the need to reach for React or other SPA framework for even simpler needs.

If you try to bend over backwards to appease the whims of every group of people you'll never accomplish anything. A good engineer realizes this, and prioritizes accordingly. It's a core competency of the job.

Not pushing back on master -> main is a sign that an engineer will not make good decisions on the job.

Also this has nothing to do with "intolerance" and your framing of it this way is a classic manipulation tactic: "You wouldn't want to be intolerant would you?"
Ancient Roman advertisements didn't send out flying airtags to follow all of the people who passed by and collate a bunch of extra data about where those people went, how long they spent there and at what times, what the purpose of those places was, how the social webs of all the people interconnected....

So clearly it's possible to advertise without tracking, we just innovated that benefit away.

Some of those exist, usually billed as implementation partners that also can do whatever dev work you need.

The problem is getting marketing leadership to believe they need those services. Usually you have a handful of technical marketers shouting from the rooftops asking for dev support. The CMO goes and talks to the dev team and they are reassured that there is no need to outsource, there is a perfectly good team in house that will get around to it eventually.

I've had the best luck bringing in a firm as part of an implementation and then keeping them on for a few months to help with odd jobs in the guise of support.

Executive leadership in sales and marketing is typically clueless as to what their teams need too be successful. It isn't in their job description, it isn't what they were hired for.

> Replacing one well known default with another non-retroactively increases cognitive load.

It's quite clear that managing cognitive loads is the least of all concerns considered by proponents of sticking with non-inclusive terms.

For example, the terms "blacklist"/"whitelist" do not impose a lower cognitive load than "denylist"/"allowlist", but somehow this argument is used in favour of sticking with the legacy/non-descriptive terms.

Also, there is no objective meaning to "slave". In the times of old, people talked about "slave drives" and I bet that most of the proponents of sticking with racist/bigoted language cannot even describe what it's supposed to be.
If this is true, doing this artificially should be equally easy.
