> […] is completely phonetic […]

… for now in the 21st century. There is no guarantee the current spelling will accurately reflect the pronunciation in the 23rd century.

Pronunication and spelling inevitable diverge over time in nearly any sufficiently widely used language due to languages being living things. People lament the perceived absurdities of the English spelling, yet they do not realise that it is a far more common problem across many languages. Take Tibetan as another and perhaps an even more extreme example where the spelling today is fixed to the pronunciation that existed in the 11th century, a millenium ago. The Icelandic spelling is also very complex and is not reflective of the modern pronunication. French, Burmese and Thai are susceptible to the same problem of varying extents as well. English receives the majority of the criticism by virtue of being more widespread than the other languages that face the same problem.

There are pretty much only two ways to deal with the problem: regularly purge obsolete/changed phonetic rules/encodings from the writing system, which will result in a loss of historical continuity over a long period of time where future generations will not be able to directly read texts written by their ancestors, or keep the spelling intact and allow pronunciation to depart from the spelling in the future.

The only solution that is immune to the spelling / pronunciation dilemma is a logographic script albeit in a different way. The most glaring example is, of course, the Chinese traditional characters. The phonetic quality today is so vastly different from their pronunciation of Old Chinese, Middle Chinese and multiple modern Chinese languages that it is somewhat amusing to see names of historically significant people of the ancient past to be spelled out using the modern Mandarin pronunciation. It is a convention and a common denominator, though.

So the logographic scripts offer a semantic continuity solution to the writing system problem whilst allowing the pronunciation to evolve independently.

Granted, the grammar will also diverge at some point as well but, as the natural language processing (early word2vec, the Bayesian topic model, BERT etc) has demonstrated, the grammatic markers in the writing can be safely ignored to a large extent – at the expense of losing nuances of the colloquial speech. Yet, with a logographic writing system, the semantic meaning and the context will remain largely retained for a far longer time compared to an alphabet based writing system.

Nice pivot attempt.

I asked for an example of existing laws against inciting genocide being used to stifle free speech. Because you made the claim it was inevitable... I pointed out that it's never happened even though those laws have existed for decades.

So, do you have something to back up your claim or not? Or are you just regurgitating right-wing fear-mongering nonsense without any independent thought?

As for the Ottawa protest; It's curious you invoked that protest and not any one of dozens of First Nations protests occupying various spaces over the past two decades. All of those people were also forcefully removed at gunpoint (See also: dozens of similar situations in the USA like Standing Rock).

It's different when it's white people whose views align with your own I guess, eh?

Wendy's denies plans for surge pricing after backlash
ASD just does justify harsher sentences. It does not justify lesser sentences either. It should have no effect at all. For example, psycopaths who cannot feel empathy do not receive harsher or lesser sentences because of it.

The 100-year recommendation is appropriate, IMO. It gives Kaplan more support to set the number wherever he pleases. Whether it's 5 years or 50 years.
The minute the device was released in North America the lockout chip was already defeated by passthrough devices that took a "real" game and used that for the CIC bootup process. There were also multiple variants of voltage spike attacks and revisions of the console to guard against those, so it was certainly happening otherwise Nintendo wouldn't have wasted time changing the design.

Also, look at the timeline and the history behind Tengen which was essentially a company created by Atari specifically with the purpose of publishing their games on Nintendo and used essentially corporate espionage to get the underlying MPU used for the CIC logic that was a corporate secret. The actual lawsuits get filed a few years once Nintendo had enough evidence, but it was going on from the start of the lifespan of the console.

The NES was released in North America in late 1985. By 1987 there were commercially available games (from Tengen) that were playable without the permission of Nintendo. Tengen was not the only one or even the only method being used to break that console at that time.

And then there is Game Genie, which effectively can work around all of these problems. Sure, they included some logic to play nice and let the NES check the CIC again, but you can work around that with a game genie code itself! In the early days Game Genie and GameShark devices were well known for being vectors for piracy and they leaned into that.

*EDIT* This doesn't even get into the VAST array of devices that existed to clone cartridges or adapt floppy drives similar to how the Famicom did. At worst those required a stupid dummy cart to sit in them that never gets removed or the manufacturer did that for you and put a CIC in the device. Some used various attacks mentioned earlier to work around even having to do that.
Yeah, I realised this recently while travelling in New Zealand, where even the cheapo ice cream that comes in big, 2L tubs tastes amazing. And this is a country where dairy products are typically more expensive than in the UK.

Pretty much any ice cream in the UK that isn't a boutique or super-premium brand just tastes like crap by comparison. Why does a country that makes such good cheese (for example) do such bad ice cream?
As much as I despise the guy I agree that 100 years for stealing some money, even a lot of it, is grotesque. Particularly considering that people who routinely pilfer orders of magnitude more never see the inside of a jail cell in this country. Give him a tenner and ban him from trading for life.

Meta has all of its own backend and frontend infrastructure. So no, they don't use something like Next.

By "online" do you mean a random ROM website, or any Yuzu provided/hosted/whatever page? I.E. are they linked to such firmware and key redistribution? I was under the impression there was no affiliation, but I may be wrong there.

By affiliation I mean something like hosted on the same server but officially unlinked, not obvious affiliations. If a core maintainer redistributing them on their personal website.
At the risk of being snarky, I should certainly hope the output depends on the input.

On a more serious note, there are quite reasonable properties that are satisfied by keeping the sign of the first argument as the chosen representative. In particular, for any two nonzero integers a and b, we have that:

a = (a / b) * b + (a mod b)

Where division should be interpreted as integer division that rounds towards zero. If a=-1 and b=3, then (a/b) would be zero which would require (a mod b) to be -1 if we want the above to hold. Also note that other rounding choices (e.g., rounding towards negative infinity) could impose (a mod b) = 2.

So choosing a particular representative comes down to choosing what properties you want your function to have in relation to other arithmetic.
> I'm not sure what Apple could've brought to the table in regards to making an electric car.

At this point Apple dont need to make any thing special in order for it to sell. Lv4 / Lv5 AVs ( autonomous vehicles ) is basically lots of computer on a battery moving around. The key problem here is Lv 5 AV, as we should have all learned in 2024 it doesn't exists. Not even close. All the promise about we would be there in 2016..... 2024 hasn't been true.

Without AVs, and hence without the needs of all the computing power, there isn't anything in a Car that is adjacent to Apple's core strength.

> Apple design in general has lost a lot of it's soul.

I would argue it is not just their design, but Apple itself. Again It is Tim Cook's Apple now. Not Steve Job's Apple.
Its verryyyy clear that Google rushed these models. They have a fiscal obligation to try and stay ahead of the curve and make as much money as possible on these investments. The CEO isn't honestly mad that the model is racist, he's mad that the model might lose the company contracts because its racist. Why would another company risk their image or lawsuits if they make a chatbot that says something illegal or denies rights to protected classes?

Racism is a bias (to say the least), and a bias is a pattern, and ML models are trained to find patterns. The model itself, is doing a really good job at that. The hard part and the part that takes a long time and money is training a model to learn from certain patterns and to not just ignore, but to actively find the patterns it shouldn't learn from. Google's greed chose not to invest enough time and money into that, and its biting them.

Wow, that was a terrible article. While I am sure there are some people who identify as conspiracy theorists (or are identified as such), that know more scientific facts than the average person, determining the shape of the earth is an argument based on a wide range of collected evidence that is highly consistent with a round-earth. These theorists can't come up with evidence or make a logical argument based on their knowledge of facts that isn't easily falsifiable by an intelligent scientist or engineer.

More importantly, we live in an age where a sufficiently wealthy conspiracy theorist could actually have a space ship constructed and fly around the world. If they didn't or couldn't, they'd blame it on the System That Maintains the Conspiracy, not for some engineering reason.

I've concluded that most conspiracy theorists are actually trolls who enjoy angering people and the rest of them can be safely ignored.

And yet, in 20 years he still left the company with 20 times more sales than he received it. You could certainly do far worse as a CEO.
And that matters if you are mostly worried about value, to a large extent. If you are evaluating "better" as in "supports more symbolic operations," none of those really enter into it? Right?

This is like opining that the best "car" out there is a gokart you can get complete schematics on, for all of these reasons. I think most of us would accept the argument that the better cars are the ones that pass metrics aimed at cars. In this analogy, the better algebra system is the one that does the most algebra.

The only thing more expensive than nuclear — in these stats at least — is small-scale solar installations.

Btw, this widespread (but wrong) belief that nuclear is cheap stems from the fact that a lot of countries heavily subsidized their nuclear industry in order to gain know-how and/or materials for atomic weapon production. It's not even cost-covering at current energy prices without those subsidies.

Given that Down Syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome, I'm kinda curious how that would be inherited. Like if you have two people with Down's would there be a possibility of offspring with an extra chromosome pair? Could that in the long term lead to speciation?

Would it be possible that only one of the three chromosomes is passed on from each parent, leading to a normal and healthy child?
I don't believe the 1.2b euro number for how much it would cost a company to write the Linux kernel (and only the kernel) from scratch.

Not that Linux isn't great. I just think that estimate is misguided.
What the fuck did i just read
I agree that the framing is bad and can lead to some people assuming that women are incapable or needlessly fearful, but I’d argue being hyper aware of one’s environment doesn’t necessarily equate to being fearful.

For instance, Japan and Korea, both which are considered pretty safe countries, but have had many issues of women getting groped on public transportation. Japan had to launch an anti-groping campaign (anti-Chikan) it had become such a problem. There’s even a whole porn genre of people groping women on public transportation that’s sprung out of it.

This all doesn’t make women necessarily more fearful of doing everyday things (ie millions of Japanese women use public transportation every day without fear). Some women may have just become apathetic to the danger and some maybe generally more wary of their surroundings (to the point where it has become automatic or an afterthought). In either of these cases, none of these women are afraid of stepping out into public.

Humans are very adaptable. The human brain can only take so much fear before it acclimatizes to the danger. Just like any other person, women can move through life without fear of something even if there is cause to fear it.

I understand your push back of the framing, but I fear your framing also underestimates the unique dangers and challenges that women do face in public, sometimes every single day. Even in countries and cities that are considered very safe.

My point being that we can both acknowledge that women still have an entirely different experience navigating public spaces then men do, but that that ALSO doesn’t mean that women are irrationally fearful of being in public; or any less capable of maneuvering through society safely on their own.

From the linked AP article:

“Wingenroth, who openly advertised his business in area publications, was told by state game wardens last year that such an activity was illegal, authorities said. Wingeroth, though, told them his lawyer “has a different interpretation” of the law.”

…The game wardens warned him and he basically forced their hand by telling them to shove it.
Calendly isn't really relevant here. The attack vector isn't even delivered through the calendar invite. The "investor" just sends a calendar invite with an intentionally broken link, and then when the meeting time comes and the victim can't connect to it, the attacker exploits their sense of urgency by sending the malicious link over the same Telegram channel where they initially established contact.

I'm not even sure why the post mentions Calendly so prominently. It's orthogonal to the attack, which is a malicious link sent to the user via Telegram.

My issue is that you can control time on iOS. But you can't control the individual apps and it is the wild west with every other app control, like YouTube. They offer controls but they are all completely different and it is exhausting to keep up with the different options. The kids have more energy to creep through the guardrails. I think that's by design, it isn't YouTube's business model to stop people from watching.
> had to shut them down in summer the last few years

Yep. It's sad-funny — they had to shut down reactors because the cooling water was getting too hot. To be fair this seems to be environmental regulations and not the reactors themselves, but then again the water is from rivers and at some point you really grill the river.

> one has the option use Python in a more "responsible"/efficient way

That is so true.

I wish it was the dominant way people used Python.

The lack of backward compatibility is still a bad thing. How can that be avoided by being responsible and/or efficient?

I actually have no knowledge of the Python project ruling committee's policy on backward compatibility, I would be interested in those policies, and if they imply a way to stay safe.

Saying, like I do, "Just do not use Python" is a bit of a waste of time (will not stop me). It would be nice to caution people: "Avoid this and that Python thing because it is vulnerable to being deprecated and use this and those which are not".

I suspect there is no such policy. There are times when being wrong is a good thing....

To be fair, Apple is a bit hostile towards open source developers. I can write windows and linux software from both windows and linux, but to write apple software I need a mac and a developer account that costs money. If firefox depends on patches from the community, they will receive less patches for macos features because of this asymmetry.
The only justification for illegalizing spotlights for recovery that I've seen is that it stops poachers from claiming that's what they were doing. That's all well and good- the law must be pragmatic so what can you do? And if they caught the guy out in the woods doing this, of course they'd have to enforce it.

What's absurd is running a sting to catch a guy who is explicitly not poaching and thus is not the target of the legislation. The government should be in the business of preventing harm, not going out of their way to punish people for violating bureaucracy.
There are good textbooks that you can download for free, but I don't know how good coverage is in different subjects.
Economics classes for the next century are going to use this as THE textbook argument against government intervention in commodity markets. The US amassed a huge stockpile of helium. But it was clear helium was no longer of strategic importance, we signed the Helium Privatization Act to sell off the reserve.

This, ironically, put the US government directly in control of a helium cartel. The US flooded the market with helium for decades at a set price. Now the reserve is mostly sold off and it's a relative "free" market. But the bubble has burst, no more artificially cheap helium, and most buyers find themselves priced out. There will be an "adjustment" in many related industries.
