English actually has terrible "error correction" on account of extensively using word order to indicate grammatical constructs, rather than inflection. You move the order of words around and it gets an entirely different meaning.

Plus its orthography is ridiculously inconsistent, and a learner is never sure if they've got the right pronunciation when looking at a word because it's been caked over with N layers of different systems (Anglo-Saxon + Norse +
Norman French + Latin + Greek etc)
If you are an addict how do you know that the liking is not the addiction? Many ex smokers liked smoking but after really kicking off the habits they cannot stand the smell or thought of it. Same with many ex drinkers; they would tell you they just like drinking and wouldn’t stop, but when they do they dislike the taste even if not full blown alcoholics to begin with. I think you forget that you can only ask them to their choice after waning off the addiction, not while they still have it. Same for your benign pleasure.

But sure, it depends on the case, I didn’t say it didn’t, however I think there is little interpretation for the Philly zombies in this case; given a choice (not addicted and a life that supports that), they would, probably all of them.
Noah was humiliated or even abused by his sons when he was blacked out drunk in his tent, and subsequently cursed the family line of the guilty part.

The story is a clear warning against abusing people who are incapacitated. How many people haven't been humiliated by "friends" when blacked out drunk, or when unconscious from other drugs? Or even worse, the countless of people who have been abused when in such condition. Would it be fun to do the same thing to somebody being incapacitated due to a medical condition?

Nobody is denying the popularity of Javascript. I'm merely pointing out that Java is huge. Java is still incredibly popular in enterprise environments, and so much Java code has been written there that I've called Java the COBOL of the future on several occasions. It's still very easy to find work in Java.

> You can't practically run any language you want on the browser, only one, and it's JavaScript

Everybody knows that, but are you aware of the history of that? Why Javascript is called Javascript, despite not being in any way related to Java?

Java was originally aimed to run in the browser as Aplets. That required a plugin of course, and those have since fallen out of favour for good reason. But Java was originally the language that ran in the browser, and Sun specifically marketed it for that. And then Netscape introduced their own language called Javascript specifically so people would associate it with Java, but it had the advantage that it would run in the browser without the use of plugins. And Netscape was so dominant that they could dictate this sort of thing.

Plenty of Web Aplets have been written at that time, but with browsers abandoning plugins, they've become obsolete. And requiring a plugin before it runs was definitely an obstacle.

Instead Java became the preferred language on the server, and it took a very long time before Javascript got any traction there. It has that traction now, and the advantage of running the same code in browser and server is definitely an advantage, but there's a lot of history before that.

And while Java's popularity is certainly dwindling (and deservedly so, if you ask me), it's coming from an extremely high popularity and has a very long way to go before it's gone. Because it did win almost everywhere outside the browser.
Brussels launches legal action against X over illegal content, disinformation
This seems like a more "honest grift" than a lot of the influencers trying to monetize "how to be an influencer" type content.

If anything this is an anti-grift as it's most useful only to existing high follower count type "creators" and will illuminate lack of success to those who might otherwise be pulled into buying BS how-to content.
It might be slowly moving to that model: with precon decks, challenger decks and secret lairs, WotC is selling a lot of non-randomized stuff. They even split for a while draft boosters from collector boosters (and then reversed the decision when nobody was buying the draft boosters and risked killing the format).

Disclaimer: I read WAY fewer books in 2023 than what I normally read in a year. So there isn't a big trove to draw from. That said:

NON-FICTION:

The Blind Watchmaker - Richard Dawkins

Make Your Own Neural Network - Tariq Rashid

FICTION:

Black River Orchard - Chuck Wendig. Just an exceptionally well written horror story. Not necessarily super scary per-se, but well written and enjoyable to read. And I thought Wendig really "stuck the landing" with the ending.

Holly - Stephen King. King has written a LOT of novels and I've read the majority of them over the past 35 some odd years. And Holly may well be the most fucked up shit King has ever written. Note that it's not really horror, and there are no overtly paranormal / supernatural aspects to this. The "evil" here is purely human evil (which is arguably the most terrifying, since it's more real). Seriously though, not much bothers me and this was on the border of making me physically queasy in spots. And further,

Good question. It depends on how that would work. Meaning can I offset against the whole year and just get less money back per kWh or will it become seasonal or day pricing. Day pricing would be the most impactful as during summer time prices are cheaper and I deliver back the most.

If I assume that 2/3 of my usage will be in Winter and I can offset just 200kWh (there is always a bit of sun) then it look like this:

1390.5 * 2/3 = 927 kWh
927kWh - 200 = 727 kWh
727 kWh * 0.40 = 290.80 / year (0.40 is price per kWh)

So I would spend 290 per year so about 25e. Which is 75% less then I do now.

This excludes any other cost / benefit.
I agree to some extent on it being a social problem. But I am not sure that developers are to blame outright. What seems to be unpreparedness or incompetence might just be the result of desperately trying to produce something from incomplete information.

That is sometimes the people that request the product are just as bad in communicating what the result should be and it might even change half-way through the process. Its hardly surprising that the result is "horrid".

So the root of the "social problem" could be anywhere really.

That being said there are definitely cases (as in your last paragraph) where you cannot seem to agree with other developers because your understanding of what makes a developer is just so radically different and you keep talking past each other. I would be surprised if that was not the case in every other conceivable profession, though.

The UK sources most of its gas from the North Sea, not Russia, and that's become cheaper now that there's less of a demand for it from mainland Europe (for many reasons). Also, though gas is cheaper, power is 2x the price it was 3 years ago and more expensive than much of mainland Europe. Still, relative to electricity, the cost per kWh of gas remains very cheap.
There are a ton of these.

Not flagging because it is more interesting than usual for a link about Twitter:

it's the first time the law is used, and it also _strongly_ hint that they tried first to get access to the informations without legal proceedings.

The legalese is strong, but I think most of it is understandable (which is surprising).

But: Twitter is now like the 12th social network, who cares?

Decisions by regional courts are completely irrelevant. They often get reversed by the higher courts, especially in tech cases. Hamburg is more notorious for this, but it's the same for the one here in Munich. Until the higher regional court decides (and maybe the BGH after that) there's no chance that a sales ban will be enacted.

They believed the "stabbed in the back" narrative like the US establishment believed there were weapons of mass destruction in Irak.

It was a motivated belief, thoroughly uninformed by rational thought, and maintaining and spreading that belief took no small amount of blatant lies and cynicism.
People get pissed at entities that act irrationally, but the really good entities rarely act irrationally, and have a feedback loop to attempt to act as rational as possible.

But the people who are in the bottom 80% tend to match with others in the bottom 80% as well. And so this kind of story resonates well, to the tune of 200+ upvotes.

Not criticizing anyone, but it's a trap that people fall into, both founders and VCs, employees and employers. Where the perception of these entities is biased by inexperience.

I did not care about Dr Who, Godzilla, Walking Dead, Fallout, etc. But I did buy the LotR and Warhammer decks (and I was not disappointed). The reality is that different people like different things, and I don't think Universe Beyond is a bad thing per se.

It is not like the default story is terribly interesting and little more than generic, second rate fantasy.
Yep.

Every character class was practically the same with the same mechanics (at will "spells", per encounter "spells", per long rest "spells") and a massive amount of repetition across abilities. As a DM, I was an over worked CPU; monsters were boring and scripted and every character class had liberal amounts of "force the monster to do x" actions that resulted in monsters having little to no agency.

I ran a few adventures in 4.0 and put the books away forever.

A Collection of Word Oddities and Trivia
Like the sibling, I haven't found Spain too bad for this. Waiters and other service staff sometimes switch to English on me despite my Spanish being perfectly serviceable for that sort of interaction, but no-one's ever been rude to me about it. One waitress apologised when I said that I like to practice my Spanish, but explained that she also wanted to practice her English. I suspect that's quite a common dynamic.

One thing I've found is that fleeting interactions in shops and restaurants are a terrible way of practicing a language. I can have a full conversation with a Spanish person without too much difficulty, but I still find shops and restaurants quite challenging situations. So, don't go on holiday to practice language X. Pay $15 for a one hour online conversation class.

Sadly it works the other way around, and this has a tendency to infect standardization proceedings.

If you can put some technology that uses your patents in a standard like WiFi or 5G, that is a license to print money. There are plenty of good ideas that should be in a standard that are patented. Leaving aside the issue of whether it's good those patents exist, you do want that technology in the standards. So it's not like you can say 'all IEEE standards should be patent free'.

As a result lots of standardization meetings involve most participants subtly (or not so subtly) advocating for technical decisions that would mean some patent is used.
An additional conjecture I’ll throw out is that is that as crime declines, it frees up police to investigate crimes and catch non-violent criminals who might not be caught if the police were busy dealing with more serious crime.

I still remember this anecdote from an article several years ago headlined “As crime dries up, Japan’s police hunt for things to do” [1].

> THE stake-out lasted a week, but it paid off in the end. The tireless police of Kagoshima, a sleepy city in the far south of the country, watched the unlocked car day and night. It was parked outside a supermarket, and contained a case of malt beer. Finally, a passing middle-aged man decided to help himself. Five policemen instantly pounced, nabbing one of the city’s few remaining law-breakers.

Can you imagine this happening in San Francisco?

Well, I would say it is being solved right now.
What GPL violations? I can't really find anything on than a single case from 2011 where AVM tried to prevent another company from distributing modified firmware for their routers.

There's a lot of things you can say about that, but it's arguably not really a "GPL violation" as commonly understood, and a single incident in almost 40 years of history doesn't make a company "notorious".
I'm from England and moved to france 3 years ago, I've bought a couple of cars, rented an apartment, gone through the healthcare system, put my kids into school, all while slowly learning french. No one has ever been rude to me about it.

No, AVM is the company producing them, they are not threatening themselves to ban selling their own product

Without commenting on the accuracy of the numbers, Youtube is very much a rockstar platform. Similar to the music industry, it's largely a winner-takes-all situation, where a few top players make almost all of the income. The top channels are not single people doing it as a hobby, they're production companies, often with considerable teams working behind the scenes.
In 1909 the US switched from a term of 28 years extensible by 14 if the author lived, to a term of 28 years extensible by 28 if the author lived. It didn't grow to life +50 until 1976.

Edit: I think the confusion may arise from the Berne convention. The US did sign, but not until 1988.

If the UK had made the strategic decision to stick with nuclear we would have much more electric installations (like they have in France) and it would be easier for homes.
>This is particularly bad for solar because it means the batteries have to be discharged nightly

Solar and wind production anticorrelate and electricity usage declines at night. If you have a grid with paired wind and solar you are unlikely to be discharging every night. The wind doesnt stop blowing at night.

>solar as baseload

This a strawman. Nobody says solar can be baseload. They say that you can combine solar + wind + different forms of storage (pumped, hydrogen, battery) with demand shaping to eliminate the need for baseload.

Ironically the carbon lobby used to say "let the market decide" back when solar and wind were expensive. They stopped doing that a while back when the economics flipped in favor of green energy.

The nuclear lobby and its associated propaganda tries to avoid mentioning costs at all and always did - unless theyre promoting nuclear vaporware. They're gunning for manufacturing consent for subsidies since its the only way theyll survive.

Having tried the "Added context" contributions, I think Twitter solved the moderation. It simply works. There's an abundance of free labor and it scales linearly with controversy/spread.
I've had success with asking "what are some possible bugs with this block of code".. Sometimes it spots errors that I wouldn't have thought of or at least gives some ideas for things to check.

Fixing tricky bugs often requires collecting additional information - stepping through code, looking at values of variables and making sure they are what you expect, etc. It's an iterative process and AI tools would need to be able to do the same thing - most humans wouldn't be able to solve errors like that just by looking at the code, and neither would an LLM.

I see the same issues with people who think AI is going to make scientific discoveries - it can't do that because making discoveries requires collecting data until something is certain or we have a clear picture. At that point, you don't need AI. AI won't be making discoveries until we can automate that entire process of forming a hypothesis, testing it / doing experiments, collecting data, refining your hypothesis, etc.

Brazil had a couple of instances of that. In the 18th century, the Marquis of Pombal implemented a program to extinguish usage of Tupi as the national language and replace it with Portuguese. That was successful. And then a second iteration when the Italian, German and Japanese communities of speakers in South Brazil were prevented from speaking their languages around the time of World War 2. This was successful too.

AVM isn't exactly a nice and friendly company. It behaves as shitty as you would expect any networking company to behave. I completely believe that they might have simply chosen not to pay for these patents to save a buck.

Of course I oppose the whole business of shoving as many of your own patents into standard protocols that you see in WiFi and 4/5/6G (basically forcing the world to pay you a licensing fee) but that's not just a Chinese practice.

AVM claims they're optimistic about their chances for appealing the ruling, so we'll have to wait and see what happens. So far, the deck seems to be stacked against AVM and their attempted scheme to avoid licensing fees.
In general the complex part is to balance the work side. Do you have a team where hard responsabilities could be distributed more and reducing yours?
A coworker told me some years ago that understanding my broken English was easy for him, as he had worked extensively with other Spaniards and my grammar and pronunciation was just like them :)

Honestly, I'm regularly surprised by how nice and patient people from everywhere are, paying attention to my words even if my English is not, even today, as good as I would like it to be. Including French people. Including British people.

While it is common... Why? You can employ people on a limited time or production span duration. I don't see the point in pretending to give someone a permanent job to only lay them off anyways.
What about multi-gpu setups? Nvidia has nvlink, effectively combining any amount of GPUs into one speedy network, which can benefit both training and inference speed for bigger model sizes. AFAIK, AMD doesn't have anything like that, thus, limiting the usefullness of these chips.

Also, compute stack is too rough right now. Not sure ROCm will be comparable with CUDA in terms of usability in the next couple of years at least.
