If I understand you right - you could visualize in 2d space: "king" at origin, X-axis is "king"-"man", Y-axis is "king"-"woman" (or gram-schmidt if you really want orthogonal).

In 3d you can go one further and have the Z-axis be "king"-"queen" (or gram-schmidt again). The orthogonalized versions have the advantage that they give a closer notion of distance to what the underlying model sees. In the 2d case you will get exact distances except that it won't show how far off "queen" you are when you compute "king"-"man"+"woman". In the 3d case it should give exact distances.

Edit to add: With the 2d version you can maybe do some more stuff. IIRC "queen" is chosen as it's the word with the closest embedding to X="king"-"man"+"woman". You can put the next few closest words on the 2d chart as well, each labeled with the orthogonal distance from the 2d plane. So then "queen" should be the word with the smallest (squared distance from X) + (squared orthogonal distance from plane), which you might be able to eyeball.
The fact that there are drug addicts and people with mental health problems is a problem that a public transport system cannot and should not solve.

Seems you think you're rich enough to put a wall around yourself and never see these problems. Fair play but I don't think any public money should ever go to solving problems in this way.
My first ever memory, at least in very subjective way, is of my late uncle leaning over the stroller. He didn't eve sport full beard, just proper black mustache, this was early 80s. I recall existential fear from that combination and of course I went bananas full power.

Now as a father I know that kids don't form permanent memories until cca 2.5 years but this one is so vivid and detailed, and the whole setup must have been stroller otherwise whole memory doesn't make sense. I keep telling myself its not some invented memory or dream, but I'lll never know 100% truth.

Yeah small kids don't like that stuff on strangers, maybe it moves the threat assessment into more wild territory.
Anyone saw his blog post titled "now we have your attention" right after Hamas killed everyone at the rave?

Weird that he got questioned you say?
While there is definitely a higher barrier to entry, once I got comfortable with Rust (and finally stole someones working cross-compile / publish github actions for it) it has surplanted Golang in this use case because it does spark joy for me.

Firstly, kudos for the project.

If I may ask, as python3 came out in 2008, why did you choose python2 for the frontend in 2011?
Same... used noscript.
And that is the sole reason many rails projects are still easily maintainable 10 years later. Even if they aren't your own
If 60% of people want to travel at 8:30am and they don't want to share a vehicle, then there needs to be that many cars and space for them to park.

You can park them further away from their destination, this increases traffic massively driving to the parking.

As well, if the ride is comfortable then people will be willing to plan longer commutes. An induced demand which increases the number of miles driven and hence traffic. Watching TV in the car is a major appeal of self driving.
They should be possible to activate anywhere is rather the point. But what does it matter where they are now if they can be activated somewhere, and consequently have value?

All phones are e-waste in the long run. What matters is whether any of their useful life is still in the future or if it's all in the past.
I lived with half of my teammates at the time, so I don't think it's as simple as saying it's due to the social interaction. When it's competitive the entire focus is on winning. Sure you have some chuckles in the down time, but there's also plenty of irritation/frustration mixed in. We gave it our all and let each other know when we screwed up and our opinions on how we needed to fix it.
Getting those people into self-driving cars would be fantastic. Pretending there's a larger issue at play that overshadows that fantasticness is just pessimism. Sometimes it's easier to spend billions and grapple ingeniously with reality to create something new than it is to change the mind of a public official.

I think convex hull is also closely related.
My daughter is six (so gen alpha) and she latched on to my old calvin and hobbes books and has read them all repeatedly. Not saying you're wrong but the appeal seems to go across generations.

What I really notice is that Calvin roams freely outside, and is her age. I don't really feel comfortable letting my own kid do that :-\.
Buddy you just replied to every single comment I made in this thread to other people.

I don't really have it out for this guy, I'm just pointing out that he is a charlatan.

You seem to be really offended by that and are cheerleading for him even harder. Bizarre. I'm sorry the truth hurts you so.
Even metro is going for driverless in the not so distant future. In Vienna, the first driverless metro is about to go online in roughly 2 years IIRC.
> Old tech running perfectly fine; if it ain't broken don't fix it.

Except it's not running perfectly fine. It's butchering customers' actual real names. That may have been acceptable in the 80s, but it isn't anymore.

There is a chance that LIGO will detect something we don't expect. I believe that has happened quite a bit with optical microscopes and telescopes.

I was serving a big database of information to up to 1000 concurrent users on a 10$ cloud server without bigger issues. I don't think many projects get to a 1000 concurrent connections point ever.

IMO when you work with it properly it's so little of an issue (especially compared to the Dev time saved) that most Rails Devs simply don't care about the 'ruby doesn't scale' talk
Not holding a grudge irrationally, and when people tell you you make mistakes or you're full of BS and you double down on your claims to make money, that's malice, not incompetence.

You seem to interpret the history in really one way here...
Not surprising, given both how much of the valuation of the tech industry is fictitious, and how the entire industry is both a Cold War strategic initiative and a big political project.

Mental diseases are metabolic diseases.

It is the food that destroys our brains and even worse, our women eat shit even during pregnancy, so the brains of newborns already start out with defects.

If we were eating a proper human diet (ie beef and eggs), we would not have these issues on this scale.

Having a big flat 4-way intersection is an antipattern. If you have a major road (2 lanes in any direction, or over 30mph) intersecting another major road, then traffic lights just shouldn't happen. You get pollution from starting and stopping, T-bone collisions etc.

This is an infrastructure issue. Culturally I sort of understand how the US ended up with bad walkability and bad public transport. But what I do not understand is how road infra is so horrible.
A large number of Irish and Irish descendants have a character in their surname that software developers tend to associate with various injection attacks.

Maybe this helps: some anti depressants (like Zoloft) modify neurotransmitters, like serotonin. In my case at least, having a lot of unused serotonin laying around caused arrhythmia. Most doctors have never heard of the side effect (I'm not sure if it's even listed), but in my case stopping / starting Zoloft behaved as reliably as a light switch on my arrhythmia, albeit with cause and effect delayed by a few weeks.

The sad thing is I took Zoloft for years, mostly because my doctor said it's not wise to stop. In my case it was bad advice, as arrhythmia is a self perpetuating condition that gets worse if you let it linger. I use Zoloft to get past a high stress few years in my life (running my own business). Once that was over I should have stopped taking it immediately.

I haven't made a single dubious comment. I'm kind of tired of pointing out the truth with all these, I assume gen z kids, who don't know any better and think he's worth listening to. Just do some googling and read up on his history, see what actual security experts think of him.

But hey, you do you.
"realistically" .. I don't think it's much to ask a Belgian bank (or offering accounts in Belgium) to actually support Belgian customers?

Unless they let go of every single customer with diacritics in their name, the complaint would still stand. Especially since the case is brought by a government body, not the end-customer.

The "throw your hands in the air" move for the bank wouldn't be to ditch this single customer, it'd be to ditch the entire eurozone. Remediation is likely cheaper.
It is a wholesale violator of human rights at massive scale and therefore the precedent for protection of rights under that state is simply non-existent. Magna Carta, Habeus Corpus - irrelevant given the massive, immense scale of the UK's wholesale abrogation of billions of human beings' rights.

Where I live in Northern England, buses are (amongst other reasons) mostly hampered in their reliability by delays and cancellations caused by sharing roads congested with cars.

Here there's an almost palpable attitude of disgust towards using the bus. Almost a me versus the plebs attitude. The car represents the people's private island.

It would be slightly improved if people moved from tank-like SUVs to smaller cars, even better improved by embracing 1/2 seat cars (which will never happen because the design isn't conformist, see the Smart Car), and most improved by people putting their ego aside and taking the bus.

For a country hitting 2/3 of adults being overweight and obese, it may be a perk that public transport doesn't provide A-to-B delivery and instead people get a 5 minute walk somewhere in their day.

Instead it looks like self-driving cars will win out due to people's behaviour.
Sort of like Feminists looking at how women are treated in Muslim majority countries in the Middle East, how they are treated in Israel, and then square the circle of who deserves sympathy and who doesn't.
Sort of like people who claim to be women's advocates and enact policies that make women afraid to go out after dark.

I agree on the object level that banks really ought to spell our names right.

However I strongly doubt that we should force them to do so by law. And I am outright against using something called 'General Data Protection Regulation' to force internationalisation on organisations.

If you want to force an organisation to support a sensible character set, please make a law or regulation that explicitly demands that. Instead of sneaking it in via the backdoor.

Scope creep is just as bad for laws as it is for any other project.
> Apparently, there's a deep-rooted instinct in children that tells them "this one is a father and thus cannot be a bad person".

Not just in children, I'm pretty sure that everybody's "threat detector" perceives "male" and "male with a child" completely differently.

I think you're partially correct about the "bad person wouldn't have a child" stereotype, but it's also about the context. Some bad people will have children, but in their presence are likely to be risk-averse and prioritize peace and safety of their offspring. A father away from their child can OTOH get aggressive.

Recently I've had delivery issues with Thunderbird. That makes me rethink my use of it.

I sent the same email from the same address to the same recipient once with Thunderbird on Windows, once with Apple Mail on iOS. The one with Thunderbird was silently dropped (not even reaching the spam folder), the one sent with Apple Mail reached the inbox without issue. I've had that same issue with 2 different recipient companies.

And yes, my address passes SPF, DKIM, has a strict DMARC, and isn't in any blacklist (uses iCloud+ as host).
> Google supports billions of accounts and clearly screws up a few of them (which are noteworthy events precisely because they are so rare).

The problem is that Google doesn't (seem to) have any kind of customer support. Everyone's gonna get hacked at some point, including Google themselves, so I'll choose the company where I can at least get somebody on the phone.
I grew up in a family of fantasy nerds and it still took a while for me to get around to LOTR. My main interest was I vaguely remembered a WIRED interview with the creators of Riven (the sequel to Myst) where they said it was an inspiration. I don't remember in what way since the setting is very different, although looking at it now I can see some thematic similarities (a formerly pristine world set on a doomed path by an evil figure with a god complex).

Anyway, I did read the trilogy and the Hobbit and held them in high regard. The movies (mainly the Return of the King) actually did _significantly_ "cheapen" the idea of the LOTR in my eyes at least because the "Return of the King" movie left out plot points that I felt were vital to the message of the books. Primarily that even after the "big bad" was defeated, people were still evil (see the Scouring of the Shire). Much like the real-world war that must have inspired Tolkien given his participation in it, it was a major victory to celebrate but nevertheless not the end of every struggle.

Tangentially I'd also say that even the original Harry Potter brand is cheaper than LOTR because although it's fun and palatable, it doesn't have as much to say about the real world or challenge us in how we live our lives.

A major theme throughout the book trilogy had been that everyone, even Gandalf, has a "shadow" that corrupts their good intentions, except for hobbits which made them ideal ring bearers since the Ring would twist ambition/pride/etc to its own ends. It's basically a morality play for the post-WW2 generation, where the demons are not just external monsters but internal temptations. The movie trilogy's ending was much "neater" and also much less true to life.

But on the other hand, the RPG "The One Ring" does right by the source material by making the shadow a mechanic in the game that mirrors the theme in the books.

So LOTR seems like an excellent example of licensing gone both right (The One Ring) and wrong (admittedly the movies weren't all bad, but most could probably agree the Hobbit movies did cheapen the source material).
The initial outrage was because people were genuinely scared they would have to start paying a ton of money to Unity. Because that's what Unity initially proposed. $200,000 (the original threshold) really isn't that unrealistic for serious indie developers, and any installation, including reinstallation, and including every load of a website with the web player embedded, would come at a cost. (The web player was explicitly mentioned!)

Unity then published various "clarifications" (read: further alterations of the deal) which made the change less absolutely horrifying, reinstallations wouldn't be counted, the web player wouldn't be counted. The sheer audacity of describing those monumental changes as "clarifications" is grounds for outrage in itself. "Apologizing" for "confusion" instead of admitting fault is extremely disrespectful.

And then we reach the current day, where the change has been watered down to something that's really a lot more acceptable, but the willingness of Unity to just suddenly retroactively invent new taxes for Unity users to pay should be enough to frighten indie developers and established game studios alike.

(What I'm trying to say is, I agree.)

True but it is in beta and I literally launched this morning.

I have to see whether or not people like the product or not. In order to see this, I have to allow users to test the product without my intervention. It answers one of my key assumptions which is people and communities are willing to post their problems on Preneur.

I obviously am willing to post but I can be biased.
I feel like arguments about REST are sometimes like 4-element philosophy [1] or wuxing [2], which try to classify or decompose everything in the colorful world into a given set to prove the wiseness of the set, which seems not the case.

I know nothing about REST, so forgive me if I am wrong.

The key point here is that it's not an English-speaking country where being limited to English would be acceptable.

There are official state languages, which have official alphabets, which include non-English letters. There are legal names of people and organizations which include non-English letters.

The law requires the bank to have and apply correct customer information, and spelling someone's official name wrong is simply not acceptable.

In London, which is a much denser city that any in Northern England, that attitude to buses and public transport is not shared. We have had a lot more sustained investment into reliable and affordable public transport.

The lack of comparable investment in northern cities is of course not really the fault of the cities in question (London centric institutions, political culture, and voting base power).

Speaking of decay and hypocrisy. Do you think the Californians that move to Texas will vote for policies and politicians that made California into what it is, and Texas into California 2.0? Or will they integrate and vote for Texas values?
Okay, so what a concerned citizen can actually do? I'm pretty sure attempting to convince them fuckers otherwise is a waste of breath/bytes & time, so
Germany? I don't think Germany is a good example of a working public transport infrastructure. Trains being actually on time is a cause worthy of celebration over there.

The last time I took a train there, my train was so late that the next train on the same route (scheduled for 1 hour after) arrived first. Normally since it was not my train I wasn't allowed to board according to the announcement on PA. I played the confused foreigner card and boarded...
As you point out there are solutions to the problem publicly promoted.

I have always understood this double think in two ways:

1. The problem needs to make sense to the people who are working on the tech and people who might buy the tech, but it only needs to be and is preferable to be only adjacent to the real value proposition of the tech. This provides opportunities to incrementally capitalize (“businesses don’t make products they make money”) without providing too much value for “too little” money.

2. The “I want x” vs “I need x” is a chasm easily bridged by “this is entertaining to me”. Life is small experiences summed together, providing a blank canvas on which people can extrapolate is engaging but mostly wasted time except for a small number of people who can actually change the direction of the tech. It’s fun for people to dream.
In legal documents you transliterate from foreign alphabets to the local one according to legal rules on how the transliteration should be performed. In this case, all the "incompatible" letters are a key part of the local language, which the bank is required to support - most of the world is not like USA which famously doesn't technically implement the concept of an official language.

But technically your point about transliteration is a valid solution (and one that I have actually seen in practice in banking systems) - the bank is free to transliterate the name to something that fits in ECBDIC, as long as it also then appropriately transliterates it back to use the proper name in the documents and communication. The law doesn't mandate any technical nuances of data storage, as long as they get the proper result.
I wonder whether it is assumed that personal data has to come in a superset of Latin.

I wonder if EU banks have to render your CJK name correctly, or a cyrillic one if their customer happens to be Bulgarian. And use that without falling back to some sort of transliteration.
I knew other people felt the same way! There was this coffee shop I always hanged out, which recently "permanently closed" as the owner died RIP. It is really hard to explain that feeling, which I literally can't. But awesome idea!
