"My experience of learning German is that Germans would prefer to speak with you in English,..."

That's often true, and usually they're much more competent in English than the English-speaker is in the foreign language.

From my observations many European countries pay much more attention to teaching foreign languages at a young age when it's easier to learn them than does the anglophone world. Seems to me if one speaks English then there's much less imperative to do so.

I know I'm the 'victim' of this attitude, I should have been trained in at least one foreign language from kindergarten onwards but wasn't. Back then I'd have likely whinged about it but I'd have been damn grateful decades later.

I think there's a certain level of cultural arrogance amongst English-speakers in that they don't have to put in the effort of learning a language when English is essentially a lingua franca. Reverse the situation you posed above about Germans preferring to speak in English. How many people in anglophone countries would prefer to speak to a visitor in say German? I think the answer proves my point.
This rather awkwardly reminds me of an April's fools joke, I did/tried to pull years ago... (^_^')
We agree. I just phrased it as design and plan for project flexibility, not design a bunch of knobs strictly for every case you happen to know about at some snapshot in time.

I say design and not just plan because you'll want to mock out or prototype something to show and that does take design work to keep your iteration cadence high.

In my mind flexible means easy to iterate on but maybe that is not clear.
Its illegal to block an irrigation road without prior approval and people straight up ignore signs, especially when the authoritative source says "turn there NOW!" We know this because fedex trucks have traveled down this "road" multiple times despite it being marked as private in several places along the way.

Also, Google is currently being sued for a situation exactly like this so we will know soon enough if that defense works: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/09/lawsuit-says-man...
I have been in software for a while now. I just love learning and doing cool stuff.

As for being able to hack in Swift specifically... I'm comfortable in 5-6 languages, and play with many more. The language itself feels like a mix of C# and Kotlin to me. But I had no familiarity with Mac OS APIs or SwiftUI / MVVM etc. but there's lots of docs, despite them having effectively no examples.

The repo has a lot of room to grow in terms of quality, which is perfectly ok in my book.

Re: Apple Silicon - I should have just said "I built it on my laptop which is an M1 Air and it's managing to keep up with the screenshot -> OCR -> ffmpeg rendering pipeline and not completely drain the battery and have a strong suspicion it will require a lot more work to get it to perform the same on Intel computers"

As for clone it and build it in Linux / Windows - do it. And there are other comments here suggesting others want to do the same.

I personally want this thing, if I can impact speed of it happening positively, awesome.

I want to record everything and have this nice big dataset which is what I've experienced (on my laptop) the last X amount of time, and be able to do stuff with it - whether it's chat with a local llm or have a really good way to search back in time. I _constantly_ need things from the past.

There could be jurisdictions that disagree with this. The US delegates quite a lot to contract law, but say Germany (I’m not sure if they do, but it sounds like it could be a German thing) could definitely decide that the act of providing a map with navigational assistance is sufficient to make some legal guarantees about accuracy.
just as crypto-people are dogmatic and exagerrate the supposed benefits of the technology, so too can the anti-crypto-people be as dogmatic

crypto wallets will exist next year and in 10 years

i don’t think cryptocurrency will be adopted for anything but gambling or speculation, but oh my, its product fit for those categories is extremely

Yes, Delphi too. So also tools like Powerbuilder for developing database-heavy apps. There is nothing even remotely close to those tools now.
Our local highway district actually makes this data available for free so I checked, its not in there. I also called them and asked about it and the lawyer seemed annoyed that google was adding county easements as public roads too since they alone should have access. So its not coming from the county at least. Its also marked roads where farm tracks are that are not in any way associated with public roads or access. I suspect that there is something looking at the photos taken by aircraft and thinking "that looks like a road!" or something because nothing else would make sense. Why mark something as a road that is just a space between two crops that is driven by tractors?

Also worth noting, its not on OOSM or Bing.. Only Google. So the source is something that only Google is using.

FYI, since 2017-ish doing layouts in HTML is much easier if you use "display: grid". Just be aware that the numbering is based on lines, not boxes. Also be aware that to use percentage-based heights at top level, you have to style the `html` and `body` too.

Additionally, use of `@container` queries (the modern, poorly-documented alternative to `@media` queries) lets you do more advanced layout changes on element resize. This requires adding `container-type: size` style on the parent (I found this very confusing in the docs).

It's everything. The problem domain for Google maps is effectively "everything on Earth". I haven't worked with gmaps specifically and can't claim specific expertise there beyond some social conversations with people on the team, but some fun things I've encountered include:

* Roads that have no physical delineations (e.g. an entire valley is the road).

* Landscape features can change rapidly (e.g. forest fires rendering roads unusable on a minute-by-minute basis).

* Landscape features can change slowly (e.g. erosion, continental drift)

* Landscape features can change slowly and rapidly (e.g. features on glaciers).

* Data that's flat out wrong for political reasons (e.g. disputed territories, GCJ-02, hidden "things").

* Data that's flat out wrong for technological reasons (e.g. GPS jamming).

* Things that are named in languages without written forms.

* Things that have official names other people consider offensive (e.g. Piestewa peak).

When you make a map, all of these and more become your problem. Every edge case anywhere in the world is potentially something you have to worry about.
I thought that too, but the irrigation district locked a gate when they finished up in October and yet it is still popping up. So if they are using phone traversals then its all foot traffic and that is more terrifying than it being detected via satellite images!
The joke is that who would ever actually use their monitor in a diagonal orientation? It's funny that someone actually did it, that's all.
I like the term “emissions-free”.

It keeps our eyes on the target - not emitting CO2 and other gasses to the atmosphere.

Other qualities like “renewablility” or “greenness” are cherries in the top. Nice to haves!
Apple did not kill Flash. Flash killed Flash.

Adobe claimed that they could get Flash running on the first iPhone if Apple let them.

When Flash finally did come to mobile via Android in 2010, it required 1GB of RAM and a 1Ghz CPU and it still ran badly.

The first iPhone had a 400Mhz CPU and 128MB of RAM. It could barely run Safari. Were you around when the only way that Safari could keep up with your scrolling was by having a checkerboard pattern while waiting on the screen to be redrawn?

But that's not what happening here. If Google docs hat a button, "put Harry Potter books here" that when pressed it puts the whole text of the Harry Potter books into the document. Now who do you think should be liable for copyright infringement, Google who put the whole text of Harry Potter books somewhere into the Google docs source code, or the user who pressed the button? Your argument seems to be the user, but I find that highly illogical.

The central issue is that the copyrighted images are already inside midjourney, the user is just getting them out via queries (pressing a button). The user is _not_ adding the copyrighted material to midjourney.
M.O. of cops in California: If they pull you over, keep your trap shut because they're always writing a ticket.

Days after the NYT foolishly sued OpenAI Google flexes how good their AI tech is at replacing people - I think they are super confident now.

Seriously, with just the tech I'm aware and stuff that should be almost here rn, I have tried to imagine how every will end up automated and I'm serious when I say almost everything can be automated if we just change the way we do most things just a little bit.

I live a real small life - I'll be fine without income but I think its hilarious how many people are willing to just work until they can't I guess without any thought at all about what then. Super conservatively I'd say half the jobs will be entirely gone in 20 years - liberally I'd say about 10. If there ever is another pandemic like thing - like next year even, it will happen then, that's the random variable.

In my life, the most susceptible people to automation were the most ardently against UBI

I don't think we are supposed to work. We should be creative yes, but not at a 9 to 5 for someone else bc we have to. I think the best iteration of humanity will be the one that immediately follows the end of work. First we will be bored and then I expect a boom in awesomeness all around - similar to what happened with the pandemic
This was a classic. yt-dlp and skip the damn commercials.
The people that use it (legally) are the irrigation folks. They use it every day and the property owners can not block access. The private property owners are all commercial developers that have held onto the empty land for a few decades and seemingly have forgotten that they own it given that they never show up in the first place. I can't think of anybody else that would want that to be on maps at all.
What do you mean by "hallucinate"? FYI most of the time it's a human drawing what they're seeing on the aerial imagery.

I know many instances in which someone mapped a track through a field which subsequently got plowed by the field owner, but otherwise I have no idea. Could you tell any specifics?

Generally, no, copyright deals with exact expression, not concepts. However, that can include the structure of a work, so if you wrote a book about little people who form a band together with humans and fairies and a mage to destroy a ring of power created by an ancient evil, where the start in their nice home but it gets attacked by the evil lord's knights [...] you may be breaking Tolkien's copyright.

They don't need to fab it right now. Xiaomi isn't banned from using TSMC. So they can design it and get it built by TSMC/Samsung. In long run yeah they'll need independence on fab also. But for this use case 10nm should be good enough for now, which SMIC can make quiet competitively.

I don't think so. AGI will fundamentally change things. People will marry AGIs or at least try to (watch Her). Any and all digital jobs will be first to be replaced, and then most other jobs too via robotic arms or full androids. SDVs will reach their full potential, likely disrupting the entire automotive industry. Our economy will get even more messed up...

That doesn't serve the purposes of American cops hallucinating "crimes" to extract money and statistics from citizens. Cops in the US are lazy, arrogant, sad sacks, and shrug at real crimes because half of them are criminals with badges and the other half are just former high school sports stars who shoved classmates into lockers.
> It seems quite reasonable to believe that life inevitably evolves into intelligent life if given enough time.

From what we have seen on Earth, it does not seem inevitable. Dinosaurs were the largest land animals for a very long time and they did not, as far as we know, evolve towards being more intelligent. The same seems to be true for many other animal groups that have been around for a long time.

Yeah, they treat the so-called authoritative data as potentially incomplete and supplement it with data derived from imagery. The intent is that the authoritative data will override supplemental data, but if it's simply not there they'll use whatever else they can see.
Few things that made Delphi great: for one thing you could develop all sorts of apps in Delphi - from system management apps, to database heavy apps, to editors, to games etc.

1. The component architecture was just great - I have yet to see any language/platform with a more sophisticated component structure even now.

2. There were all sorts of free and commercial components that you could download and install into the IDE and have it running in your application in next to no time. ActiveX etc didn't even come close to the level of integration and speed that the Delphi component architecture provided.

3. Components could be loaded into the UI during the design time itself and you could see it functioning directly within the IDE when you place it on your form. Example: You could connect to a database, run a query, put that into a table with all sorts of sorting and navigation functions and you could see this working even without compiling the 3pplication.

4. It was trivial to develop components for Delphi - even though it was so sophisticated. You could develop one in about 15-30 minutes.

5. The compilation speed was just insane. It just blew everything else out of the water and so you could do fast compile+run cycles.
If you don’t count fatalities that were caused by the dysfunction of communism, that also eliminates all the fatalities from Chernobyl.
Since you're stuck using active FTP, maybe using nf_conntrack_ftp would help? I believe it is supposed to snoop the FTP connection, extract the port number from the PORT command, and then open only that port (from only that one IP) on the firewall. Of course since this is all on your LAN, just opening up all connections from the IP address is not really that dangerous and so anything more advanced might not be worth the effort.
Yep. I drove around in a VW van for several years without plates or registration. (I was extremely poor then.) The other trick was, but it no longer works as much, to leave dealer plates on vehicles and never register them... this loophole has been closed in most US states by requiring registration with dealer vehicle sale. Already, it was often required for the new owner to register a vehicle integrated as part of a private party sale.

The feelings were always there but the cost was too high to do something about it. Now that the cost is already paid, there is no reason to hold them back.

Lets not forget that there is more than enough reason for that hatred. As a European:

Russia regularly kills people on our soil. We do not kill people in Russia.

Russia supports extremist political groups in Europe with the sole aim to do damage.

Russia runs media organizations like RT that also have no ideological orientation but will always report the take that will do the most damage to society.

Russia used gas as a weapon to blackmail Europe. Already in summer 21 Gazprom reduced its supply to the spot market to increase the gas price and keep storage low. Later Gazprom rented storage facilities but kept them empty.....

Russia buys politicians like Orban to weaken and disintegrate EU and NATO.

There are many millions people in the EU who lived under and still remember the repressions of the SU and Warshaw Pact states....

Putins Russia had declared itself as an enemy of the western way of life and political order.

The price for storage is closer to $500/kWh for the large utility scale projects using Teslas Megapacks and falling fast [1]. I wouldn’t be surprised to see $200-300 fairly soon (within the next 5 years). Tesla is only starting to seriously ramp up production on Megapacks. I couldn’t find reliable pricing for a project usings BYD’s new MC Cube system but Las Vegas is installing half a gigawatt hour worth of those units.

[1] 413 million dollars for 800,000 kWh = $516.25/kWh installed price.

It's a reactor design and project that started in 1976 and was delayed for tens of years at a time. It's not exactly the nuclear post child, but that is largely the problem with nuclear in the United States, it, as it currently stands, could not operate at an economy of scale. If the US committed to building say 3,000 of a standardized design across the US, things would likely be very different. (Even if it is not the latest and greatest design, or the most efficient design reactor. Just mass producing parts would drive down the cost.)

Basically, like my ex, it's a commitment issue and I hate this on again off again relationship we have that has me wasting money.

This whole business has had few conceptual ideas that stand apart from fashion and stood the tests of time. A lot of people look down on C now for various reasons, but it's still extremely useful and going strong 50+ years later. Even though I'm older than C itself in the last year or two using it intensively, I found new insights in how to arrange things and what to avoid to make things more robust and maintainable.

It's not likely that hundreds of "microrepos" on github and even rails are The Last Word that people will eventually converge on and be using into the 2100s. It sounds like each repo is its own standalone thing with its own deps. There are advantages and disadvantages to maintaining this kind of thing, some of the disadvantages will only become clear as the deps evolve and mutate. Although you may feel you are in a local optimum with this architecture in 2023, ahead of the game, energized by your belief in it, you probably are not finished evolving your understanding even on the scale of one or five years.

One way or another almost everything in this business is ephemeral, disposable and will be disposed of in favour of something else.
Wow.
