I agree with all this, and also: don't use the "play" icon as a "current step" indicator on the steps list, I kept trying to click it. People will expect a "play" icon to be a button.

I also had no clue that you could change the viewpoint, there's no indication that this is possible aside from the subtle mouse cursor, which I didn't notice.

Actually animating the folds would be useful. This still mostly relies on the user understanding the meaning of the dotted/dashed lines, especially since the folding arrows are only shown briefly. I don't think I would be able to follow what's happening if I didn't already know how the lines work. Step 4 of the Crane is especially confusing without animation.
While I do agree in principle, I think it's also the case that "the software" has been used as a convenient scapegoat and cover for what were incredibly poor practices and dishonest, irresponsible conduct.

The fact that software is involved is in some ways a side issue - and while I do agree we as techies do need to consider the responsibility that we have, I'm equally frustrated how the narrative in the Post Office case has been deliberately shifted towards "it was because the software had bugs" as opposed to "multiple people in charge were deliberately deceitful and behaved completely reprehensibly".

This is borne out by the UK government's attempted shift of all the responsibility on to Fujitsu in the Post Office case (who are absolutely not blameless) while trying to push attention away from the Post Office's - and by extension the government's - own considerable culpability.

I'm sure they'll seek to do the same in this Ofsted situation.

But it also sounds like a dream if it could actually work. If you have enough local, performant disk that you are sharing with the cluster you should be able to get good performance and rely on the system to provide resilience and extra space.
If you're designing a whole new language today, you might want to build something to fit better with the new io_uring-like interfaces to the kernel and make 'old school' syscalls a fallback or special case. Would be interesting to have this (queueing, batching, completion) as a basic layer.
That's already happening, and people already do. However, until it's proven that using LLMs to create content isn't categorically more profitable than using humans (which can be the case when the product is inferior, depending on the margins) then it isn't going to matter what people want. If 90% of the market is shit, people will learn to like the taste of shit.

I've tried to use Meta Remote Desktop and it's full of bugs, e.g. it just can't keep being authenticated with my Meta account, so I can't use it at all, even though one of last updates mentioned the fix for this particular bug. I've also tried Virtual Desktop and it can't remember my Meta Quest username between restarts so I must always remember to enter the username.

Regarding hand tracking it's just more comfortable for me to use my hands to control MQ interface without looking for controllers every time I need to do something in VR.

It might work for your specific circumstances or maybe you're more tolerant to it's issues but as a whole it doesn't work for me at the moment. I've seen a few reviews of AVP and it seems to tick more boxes for me than MQ. But the problem right now are the price and Apple-only ecosystem, i.e. there's no way to use virtual desktops with non-Mac computers.

The thing is that the current state of VR regarding work inside it is still mostly for enthusiasts who are willing to tolerate early-adopters' issues and I'm not one of them. I need it to work flawlessly like a regular setup with a monitor.

Wantonly altering character shapes to make them easier to write quickly may not be a blessed way to create new characters, but it has tradition. It's not like the Oracle Bone Script was passed unchanged from generation to generation and only the moderns dared lay hand to it. Lazy scribes have existed for as long as there have been scribes.

That hiragana and katakana are now treated as a completely separate category is more down to them being used very differently than how they were derived.
If you have it already, another alternative is to use BetterTouchTool and set it to override the behavior of the green corner button.

I think this is generally good advice. I'd be a bit careful though and add that some people who will make fine parents are poor dog owners. They don't think of the dog as part of the family/pack and the dog ends up in the backyard alone its whole life.

Having a dog can also be cumbersome if you are renting, because you will pay a premium to ensure your future apartment is dog friendly.

At my local Humane Society most young dogs seem to get adopted quickly. Senior dogs or dogs with health problems have a hard time.

I think anyone who wants to get a puppy should be willing to re-home as soon as possible instead of crating or banishing their dog because it's misbehaving (or you don't want them on your furniture).

Certain dog breeds (e.g Dachshunds) are really easy to re-home because there are rescues dedicated to them. Seems like my local shelter is usually full of pits and lab mixes.
>>>You did it before for electricity

I huge part of Rural America Electricity is run by Coop's today, often non-profit anyway. Various attempts have been tried for these Coop's to also provide internet services including using Internet Over Power Lines technology, they all fail for some reason.

Also with Telephone and electric build out we did not have the levels of regulatory capture we do today. The US Tax Payer has spent BILLIONS on "broadband" roll out programs to pay for the infrastructure that should have bought fiber to every home including rural areas, the money was wasted on "Fixed Wireless broadband" and other schemes where by the ISP's more or less just pocket the money and there was no accountability by the federal agencies in charge of these programs, largely because they knew they had fat executive jobs at that ISP coming to them

Your implication that government is the solution to this problem by paying for the infrastructure is not based in reality, as government is the problem. Government and government corruption is what stopped fiber from already being a reality.

JuiceFS isn't standalone, it requires separate backing storage for each of data [0] and metadata. So for example, JuiceFS would target SeaweedFS or GarageFS as its data store. JuiceFS can also target the local file system, but .. SDS use cases typically care about things like redundancy and availability of the data itself, things that JuiceFS happily delegates. JuiceFS itself can be distributed, but that's merely the control place as I understand it.

I have no problem with calling Bill Clinton, Bill Clinton. He called that himself.

I have some problem with calling someone/thing with a name that was pushed from the outside, and was not endorsed by that someone or the creators of that some thing. Say, Wikipedia does not call photocopiers "xeroxes", it mentions "xerox" once in the lead of the "Photocopier" article, and afterwards, photocopiers are only called photocopiers. (And so when you google "xerox", it'll tell you about Xerox the company, not the type of machines.)

And I'm strictly against of calling a thing with a name of a similar thing, which was not even endorsed. That's not useful at all. That's confusing. Perhaps I wouldn't be too wrong if I called that "relabeling" of AK with "AK-47" in the Wikipedia article, a lie. Because that's the thing with lies, they are often hard to keep straight. So throughout the article, its editors can't even figure out - what exactly do they call "AK-47"? The real thing, what Kalashnikov called AK-47, and all its different issues? Or that, and AKM? Or the whole AK family? The answer to that can change in different points in the article.

And I totally understand that people want to call it AK-47. I wouldn't even bring that up if they explained that in the article's lead. Like, "this is an article about AK-47, but what you probably wanted to read about, is actually AKM, here's why". But they don't even do that - not in the lead, at least. Why?

Perhaps because Wikipedia article's leads are used for Google search. Google is actually a major contributor to the Wikimedia Foundation. These leads are shown in SERPs, and they are probably used for Google's machine learning shenanigans elsewhere. Wikipedia is the biggest array of structured, easily-readable information in the world, and Google uses it.

Perhaps, that also was one of motivations behind the "use the common name" rule in Wikipedia, and the adamancy of the Wikipedia editors to use it in this particular case, even when it doesn't make much sense. Because when the average user googles about "ak-47", he doesn't want to be lectured about the differences between AK-47 and AKM and whatnot. He only wants to know about that thing that, as the myth in the media goes, was made by Kalashnikov in 1947, was all sold throughout the world, and has not changed ever since. And it's also on Mozambique's flag.

Because lecturing users is bad for Google's business. So maybe, this is an example how Google's interests made Wikipedia lie.
Regarding your point (2), it's not that simple, since written / literary language uses a larger vocabulary, making homonyms more of a problem.

In fact if you search a Japanese dictionary in hiragana with a combination of two reasonably common kanji readings (say かん+ちょう), you'll often get a double digit number of results (12 in jmdict in this example).

Most of these are uncommon words unlikely to be used in the spoken language, but could occur in writing.

It could probably still work more or less by relying on context, but it's more of an issue than you make it sound.

Another point is that writing in hiragana with spaces would disconnect the language from its roots. The Kanji used add a layer of meaning to the language that isn't there in languages with phonetic alphabets, and help guessing at the meanings of unknown words.

You could probably argue that making it easier to learn to read and write would outweigh the loss of those benefits, but I'm not so sure. Japan has a high literacy rate, so it does seem to work alright.

You did it before for electricity and telephone.

Not completely. There are still tens (maybe hundreds) of thousands of Americans who never got electric, telephone, or even water service available in their homes.

Every six months or so there's an article in the Navajo Times about the Navajo Tribal Utility Authority managing to hook up another couple of dozen homes to electricity, but there are still many thousands to go.

There was a photo published during the pandemic of children gathered on top of a hill sitting in the dust and sun with their laptops because it was the only place they could get a cell signal to do their schoolwork.

Tens of thousands of American homes have no running water. I've visited many in Texas, West Virginia, New Mexico, and even California.

You might argue they distributed the money amongst all existing money-havers, with each getting a microscopic share in proportion to how much money they already have. In that case it's a donation primarily to the rich.

But it's also no different than if they stuck it under a mattress for 10 years, at least until the 10 years is up. So that's also sort of a donation primarily to the rich.

Of course when the 10 years is up and they spend money, more of it will wind up in rich people's accounts than in anyone else's, if not immediately then eventually (otherwise they wouldn't stay rich.)
>She has to go to the bank and cash the check, right?

I'm guessing she has a banking app like I do that lets her deposit the check in about a minute?

Between the bank writing/mailing checks for you to pay bills and an app you can use to deposit checks, checks just aren't the friction that they used to be. That's probably a big reason why there just isn't a big outcry in the US to get away from checks. For most of us, it's just way, way down the list of day to day pain points.
Sure, Escape and Akita are quite different:
1) Escape is primarily for Security Engineers, Akita is more for developers

I’m (slowly and painfully) learning to read Thai and find myself wondering how a written language could naturally evolve without spaces between words. It adds a significant overhead since it requires learning the word boundary rules.
This. I’m willing to bet I talked to one of the people who use this internally at Apple a few years back when I interviewed there (before they decided to do away with remote hires). They didn’t mention it, but it fits the context.
This is one of many impressive projects, awesome to see someone with passion continue to execute and finish.

There exist natural rights. It is not frequent to find, say, a "right to breathe" or a "right to walk" as an explicit topic, because the absence of its object has critical implications.

Same for the "right" to privacy. It is something that would be strongly defended because its absence would not be accepted.

The fact they are planning to drop the cache feature makes you wonder if Search might be heading for the Google Graveyard eventually.

I know it seemed unthinkable for most of Google's history. For the longest time Search was Google. But now...

We must consider the fact that Google is essentially a user data broker. All their products are in various proportions collecting user data and/or serving ads.

If Search quality and features keep reducing then its usage and relevance will drop too, reducing its effectiveness at both data collecting and ad serving.

I don't think Google's DNA allows them to consider radical alternatives. They were born in an era when data automation was in its infancy and they rode it all the way to the top. They abhor the human touch, the manual intervention. Their services are set to function automatically, set and forget.

But AI is changing the automation landscape, it's bringing a transformative paradigm shift. It's irresistible bait for Google but it will ruin Search. They'll deal with it the only way they know how, drop it.

As paulg wrote, “The superficial demands of orthodoxy make it an inexpensive substitute for virtue. And that in turn is one of the reasons orthodoxy is so attractive to bad people. You could be a horrible person, and yet as long as you’re orthodox, you’re better than everyone who isn’t.”
