Do they actually have a good model? Or a flawed model with good intentions?

Global warming stands out as a prime example where many accepted the general idea in theory back when it was a novel concept, but under a flawed model, and when the flawed model didn't stand up to practical use the conversations began... There was an attempt to rebrand the idea as climate change to try and reset the clock, so to speak, but in many ways that only confused the issue further.
The vast majority of web code is waiting on a database, written in something eye-poppingly optimized, to push a string back to the client that asked for it.

Nuclear is perfectly good at load following until the U is nearly burnt: the French do it.

The reason nuclear is most suited to base load is because the capital costs are so high it makes sense to use a reactor as close to 100% utilisation as you can.

Certainly in the UK it seems you have to have permission from the original rights holder to create the derivative work in the first place. If they didn't have this permission they weren't entitled to create the work and therefore their claim of copyright in the original parts of that work would be moot. I'd be surprised if that were not the case elsewhere https://copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p22_derivative_work...

The Collaborative AI Automation: A New Way of Work to Achieve More with Less
Introducing Questflow: The collaborative AI automation tool designed for teams to complete tasks across various platforms with AI workers.

It's crafted to help teams delegate and automate tasks to AI workers, enhancing collaboration and communication within workflows.

Essentially, we are creating the "agent of all agents," akin to a "product manager agent" for all other agents, who can orchestrate AI workers and human workers to get tasks done.

We are making automation smarter.

I liked Ruby when I first encountered it because it felt like a scriptable Smalltalk that plays nicely with friends.

Then I accidentally learned Python one afternoon and never thought about Ruby again. I'm sure Ruby is better than Python in dozens of ways, much as alternate keyboard layouts are better than QWERTY (and Rails is probably better than Django.) And I'm still mad at Python for setting fire to billions of lines of 2.7 code that people had written. But I'm still using Python.

Fun historical fact: When the US currency was based on gold, there were two periods of inflation:

1. the California gold rush

Even more fun was the Spanish belief that looting the New World of gold and silver would make Spain rich. All it did was cause massive inflation in Spain.

These findings also confirm that flat or flat-ish designs can work better in certain conditions than others. As we saw in this experiment, the potential negative consequences of weak signifiers are diminished when the site has a low information density, traditional or consistent layout, and places important interactive elements where they stand out from surrounding elements.

And this is what has happened. All over the modern web and applications there is a low information density which means I need to carry more context around as I browse through things.

The article goes into it more in depth but flat design is bad in almost all regards apart from one: anybody can be a designer now.. the barriers to entry are that much lowered.

That’s not true with new Macs. If you go into recovery mode it first asks you for the machine password. If you say you forgot; then it will try Apple ID.

OP specifically states this was a new M2, so it’s not possible unless he left it unlocked.

It might be possible if he never associated it with an Apple ID at all (literally the first thing the setup asks you to do, I’ve never tried not). Without an Apple ID though, you can’t update/upgrade the OS, download App Store software, use iCloud backup, iMessage, FaceTime, apple care, contact warranty support etc etc. And Mac is pretty good about bugging you to do this. So if he did this, saying just “I didn’t enable Find My” is a bit disingenuous.

So to be clear, you cannot reset a Mac without a login
just because it does not have “find my” activated.

BTW, then he also admits “maybe I setup an iCloud account I don’t remember.” But his other linked article about this states “They presumably can see that my Apple ID is associated with it.” Ummm. If that’s the case, why doesn’t he recover the Apple ID first? So on closer inspection a lot of things don’t add up, other than the fault was almost certainly his.
Oh yeah, that's easy. I don't expect to be able to follow "highly-context-dependent" code snippets.

The codebase I work on has a bunch of Ruby scripts with "highly-context-dependent" bits of code in them that I have to occasionally dive into to find out why they're failing.

Elsewhere in this thread people are complaining about how few Ruby jobs there are. I'm eliminating one of those jobs.

I replace each script with Python, or Java / Kotlin. I don't have the time to learn about all of these contexts. And I can't afford to hire people who want to specialize in Ruby. And typical engineers can't intuit about them, so nobody can properly support them. But those engineers can typically intuit between Java and Python just fine.

I understand that there is Portuguese poetry and that I may not understand it. But I don't mix it into a book of English poetry.
> This is literally only a problem for people too stubborn to set up Find My

I disagree with this. I have never enabled Find My because for privacy reasons I don't want my location being transmitted to Apple.

What would be better is some means of opting out of Find My being able to ever be enabled on my device.

If I ever sold my device I'd have to communicate that to the buyer, and I may lose some resale value, but that's a compromise I'd be willing to make.

A 3d printer bed is never actually flat, especially since 3d printers are cheaper and the tolerances are usually pretty loose compared to a super flat, precisely ground CNC bed for example.

One of the biggest issue/pain point in 3d printing for a while was to adjust the bed to make jt flat, or at least as flat as possible so that you can actually print without massive issues on the first layer. The process used to be manual, tedious and hit or miss (due to drift in the screws, or thermal expansion) etc.

Nowadays most new printers come with a sensor that probes the bed at multiple points (say in a grid of 4x4), then using for example a lagrange interpolation you can get a mesh that represents how flat your bed is. Then, using the visualisation you can either manually adjust the bed (with screws that rise or lower a certain corner), or even just let your printer compensate for the deviations.

That is, the printer moves the Z axis even when it is still printing on the same layer to make the print surface "virtually" flat (not always ideal if the Z axis stepper is trash, or if the deviation is too wide, or if there's too much vibration). That means that usually, the issue of bed levelling is mostly solved for newer printers!

Some printers also just use the nozzle itself as a probe, combined with a load cell. But those are usually on the higher end. The most common way is just a small probe of known size that sticks out and then calculates how much it extended before reaching the bed. (Some even use a pretty high res lidar to make sure the first layer is fine, even in some sub 900$ printers).
This is the similar mindset in sport athletes. On a good day, a strong driver could beat Verstappen, or a chess player could beat Carlsen. Over the course of a tournament, or a season, then Verstappen and Carlsen are unbeatable. They get to the top, and go on great length to stay there.
WhatsApp, Signal and FB Messenger are all available with feature parity on both iOS and Android devices. Beeper is able to sell subscriptions by reverse engineering entirely due to this not being the case with iMessage.
Kinda neat to see a scaled up visualization of the vertical height differences of your printer bed.

Interesting approach to various options for various use cases, though given such richness, for configs it's surprisingly poor with only a-z_ keys, and also doesn't seem to go far enough - great that you don't need quotes for keys, but why do you need quotes for values, is there no way to simplify data types a bit to be able to get rid of those?
Some 3d printers have automatic bed leveling. Which is a process where the printer will touch the print bed in many places with a probe. This allows the printer to detect peaks and valleys, which it can then compensate for. The website above allows you to visualize that data.
Klipper's frontend (Mainsail) has this built in. https://docs.mainsail.xyz/
iphones and imessages are incredibly easy to automate for spam. Today's free, grey and dark markets are often powered by real devices as it's easier to maintain than to reverse engineer and replicate. Usually real devices are mixed with automation code for best results (e.g. real devices generate fingerprints and sign stuff while code automates actions).

Creating barrier to entry for spam definitely reduces it but we know for a fact that's not a very effective spam fighting strategy.

I also think modern anti-spam tech is really good. My Samsung phone here is really good at blocking robo calls here in Thailand. In fact I handn't received one since my upgrade to S22. If Samsung can block robo calls and open protocols like federation and email can stop spam through simple tech and volunteer work then multibillion company with some of the best engineers surely can't find this that challenging right? So I find the spam argument for closing off iMessages not very convincing to say the least.
It’s a weird document. It says blessings of gay couples are OK, as long as they’re done in a way that doesn’t approve of the relationship.

OK, so if a bishop or priest is blessing lots of people in crowd, he doesn’t have to ask nosey questions. Fine.

But the document clearly forbids anything close to marriage.

The document seems very restrictive, but trying to seem liberal.

This is kind of like the Pope saying married couples shouldn’t have too many kids - just don’t use birth control.

It’s a document that’s intended to be disobeyed.

3D printers can do a variety of "bed mesh" leveling, which is where they probe the bed in a grid pattern and then can compensate for any deformities in the bed via software.

This ensures that the first layer (arguably the most important) for any print is perfectly flat and level. This visualizer takes the output of the bed mesh calibration sequence (where each point is a z-offset, usually from what the printer has defined as 0 based on the end stop) and graphs it so you can see your bed deformation.

Most Klipper frontend UIs already have support for this though

How so? German/Dutch licht should correspond to modern English light, and this is indeed the case:

> From Middle High German liecht, from Old High German lioht, from Proto-West Germanic *leuht, from Proto-Germanic *leuhtaz, from Proto-Indo-European *lewk-. Compare Dutch licht, English light.

> light, bright (luminescent)

> unobstructed, clear

(The Dutch word, like the English word, also means "the opposite of heavy".)

( https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/licht#Etymology )

Lich comes from Old English lic, a completely different kind of word form. [The Old English form suggested by light is liht, but in fact the OE word is leoht.]

It is unrelated to light; instead, the more common descendant of lic in modern English is the word like.
