I for one appreciate the bias has been acknowledged and the vow has been made to improve the system. As bias of some kind is inevitable I'm interested to see what Google comes up with. Historical accuracy would be a good start I think. But the history books are quite biased themselves. Having historians from a broad range of locales on staff may help. There are historical stories we in the west have never even heard of and wouldn't even think to ask questions about. Maybe an AI that writes bedtime stories could expand our knowledge of the world more.
No, they're not the same thing! It's not piping to your shell! The shell's single purpose is to execute code. Man is not supposed to do that and it would be considered a huge security issue if it could. In any case, how would you check the downloaded file? With a text editor? Are you sure that can't result in arbitrary code execution?
If they cast Lee Pace is this new one I'm all for it.
I once interviewed a candidate for an engineering position in Seattle. It quickly turned out that he had fabricated his entire work history and education. My first clue was that he claimed two years of work experience at Costco HQ in Issaquah, Washington but he pronounced it as "Is-ACK" (the local pronounciation is "IS-uh-kwah"). No one who spent two years in Issaquah would ever pronounce it that way, regardless of the accent you're coming from. His story just got weirder from there.

[1]: To this day I'm not sure why -- he actually performed quite well on the tech part of the interview and might have gotten an offer if he hadn't turned out to be so untrustworthy!
Ever since Whatsapp switched to E2E, older conversations seem to get lost if none of the devices has it stored. Especially with older videos / pictures being shared, the older they get sooner they disappear.
The fact that media deliberately scares people to get attention and therefore make money doesn't negate the fact at all that a modern Chevy Suburban has a 16-foot blind spot underneath it's stupidly large front end, which incidentally is about twice as long as the blind spot in front of a standard LTL semi truck.

Furthermore according to some quick googling, SUVs are between 21% and 29% of the fleet in the United States right now, and pickup trucks which have all the same issues are about 17%. So it's not "say 10%", it's between 38% and 46%. Which certainly lines up with what I see day to day during my time on the road.

And this:

This is just gross, just all the way around. I'm not a parent and in fact am child-free, but this is offensive even to me. I really hope you're not in a career that requires empathy.

Accountability requires power. We have stripped politicians of most of their power, leaving them fiddling with margins and fighting over petty things. "Politics is Hollywood for ugly people" they say, with a chuckle, but it's far more true than we accept.

Unless and until the executive and the legislature can seriously threaten the financiers, journalists, academics, lobbyists, judges, bureaucrats, etc. again, like FDR could, you can't expect accountability. The politicians are just the faces that implement other people's decisions, and those other people don't even have elections to lose.

The recency of 2008 has really warped people's brains. 2008 was the 2nd worst financial crisis of all time (maybe it would have been the worst if our fiscal and monetary tools were still at 1929 levels of sophistication). You should be extremely hesitant to declare that anything will even come close to it.

I dated a woman from Uganda for a while and she said to me that she (and other Ugandan immigrants) Americans were crazy. Why would you want to walk anywhere when you have a car. She explained that back in Uganda, you had to walk everywhere and it was not a good life.
Isn’t the automotive space filled with lobbyists wanting to maintain the status quo? I’ve witness many families go electric and none have gone back. Self selected bias?

I’ve had an EV for over seven years now. We are on our second Tesla and looking at a Rivian. I could not go back to an ICE vehicle and this is coming from a long time automotive enthusiast who has competed in rallys and track events. For my family’s lifestyle it is just so simple to own an EV with low to no maintenance, home charging, solar panels cost savings, pet modes, simple to operate, and almost appliance like. We have one vehicle and a motorcycle. When I ride I can focus on manual operations like changing gears or using two brakes. But if I am honest it is rare I want such a taxing ride. I still commute at least twice per week on a two wheels. Eventually, I will get an electric motorcycle.

I had range anxiety in my first month of EV ownership but you quickly realize that most trips rarely require a charging stop. Admittedly, I am in California but even traveling through the desert only one time did I need to use my mobile charger.
You can use a bank like Wise which lets you have accounts in many currencies for such bank transfers. Fees between their accounts are quite competitive (I used them many times in the past).

I don't really care about Wayland either, tbh I don't even know/care if I run it or X11 at the moment. But while X11 is still OK to use today, it will likely fall behind with it getting less maintenance and less testing by DEs.

Pickup EVs will be much more viable when the GMG Graphene Aluminum Ion battery is released in 2025. One of the biggest perks is supposed to be high power applications and Rio Tinto is expected to use them in their mining equipment.

Heavy vehicles should benefit significantly.
> ... social anxiety ... hundreds of new people ...

I think you should lighten up on that goal. Meeting hundreds of new people for a person without social anxiety would be difficult. Maybe just start by chatting up folks who cross your path in everyday life? You might not get to hundreds. At least you won't distract yourself with unrealistic metrics.
For me it's a Windows/Mac thing - if you're a Mac user, you're used to having a menu bar at the top, and you're always up around the top, so top tabs feel right.

When I was on Windows, the Start Menu/taskbar was on the bottom, and bottom tabs felt right (as they became available).

Let's all agree that side tabs are of the devil.

There's an element of control when you're in a personal vehicle that's lacking when you're on transit with the general public, and fatalities aren't necessarily the only risk factor to be considered.

e.g. I'm less likely to be mugged or assaulted in a personal vehicle compared to public transit but I'm also more likely to have my vehicle broken into or stolen. Public transit is also _very_ different during typical commute times, compared to off hours.
But there is real competition in the petroleum market. Yes, OPEC exists, but they are just one player of many.

Yep. But there are more than one of them competing with one another, and that has made all the difference.
The FUD that continues to come from big money around EVs is impressive, if not a little boring and dumb.

These graphs are getting mighty steep with no letting up. Any business or market segment in the world would be hailed a massive success with growth like that. [1]

The Tesla model Y is the 2nd best selling vehicle in the US, behind only the F-150. The sales compared to legacy OEMs are insane. And that is just Tesla, there are plenty of other EVs that are selling in huge numbers now, with more showing up every day.

Anyone who says EVs are not a smashing success is blatantly denying the hard facts as they exist, and clearly is not interested in being truthful. Akin to someone saying solar is not growing and has no demand.

I said it was perfectly usable and I meant that. It's my full-time primary workstation, which I use for "actual work" every day.

I could waste time elaborating on why that is, listing the odd bugs I mentioned, etc. But I suspect you're part of that crowd that froths at the mouth whenever the name "Wayland" is brought up no matter what. No other explanation explains why you'd leap from "odd bugs" to the inability to "get something done".

Instead, I'll just leave my system build so anyone passing by can give it a go if they want to actually try it out:

* Fedora Kinoite 39

* Nvidia rtx 4090 (driver 545.29.06)

* AMD Ryzen 9 7900
You don't even need a script - just use the same home folder or copy over the ~/.config/* files. KDE's configuration is all text files.
Having enough personal solar for your car charging solves this problem for now but who know what kind of fuckery there will be around home solar rules in California in the future.

Long term, my plan is to buy a cheap EV like a Bolt as well as a powerwall or other home battery in a part of the world with good sunlight and build a nice little solar farm to power the house and car.

Solar panels just keep getting cheaper and this plan seems increasingly like a way to nearly do away with power bills all together while still staying on grid.

But until then I tend to agree, EVs aren't as appealing when you can't predict what energy prices will be over 10 years
Yes, a few mildly bad things go wrong on a feb 29th. Everything that handles stuff a year from now for example. Pretty bad for a planning program. But our customers noticed and avoided that. Codebase is too ancient and brittle to even attempt to fix. Or at least boss doesn't want to invest time in it.
Gasoline cars are much more likely to catch fire than EVs. They just don’t make the news.

Quite a lot of call centres, are, from a user perspective, a flow chart with a human serving as a voice-to-computer interface.

However, I've encountered some pretty weird interactions with customer support over the years, including reportedly "The iMac can't do anything except browse the internet" when the demo unit on display behind them was running Nanosaur (a game); "we only support Microsoft Internet Explorer" when the customer support team didn't have that installed on their computers; «You need a Windows PC and an Android phone» from the German PostIdent people despite it being obvious they could talk to us while we used a Mac and that they knew this because they raised the issue spontaneously; and "yes, we will get your internet connection running by the end of tomorrow" from BT (it took them a month or two, by which time I had already cancelled; apparently someone put the wires in back to front).
Interesting... I suppose that is because there is no year? What year does it default to? Can you show your exact line of code?
The thing that you have to remember about Xwayland is that it is Xorg. It just has a Wayland DDX[0] on the back end rather than a device-specific DDX or one that talks e.g., directly to the modesetting driver.

[0] Device-Dependent X, i.e., the bits of X that talk directly to the display. Contrasted with Device-Independent X (DIX), i.e., the bits that do state tracking and protocol communication with clients.
Here in Geneva, Switzerland there is exactly one place with superchargers, metro area easily over 1.5 million and some of the wealthiest and most powerful folks live here or often move through here. I think they have 24 chargers altogether in that spot.

Next nearest in Switzerland is some 120km away. That's basically a non-existent network. Colleague who has model S told me he can charge at his house cca 9km/hour. With commuting he ends up almost empty at the end of the work week, and has this additional worry constantly. Service outside warranty is supposedly sky high. Not that great a proposition.
Not sure which government but the US has a pretty complete super charger network for Tesla owners and opening up to other brands. I actually have a charger at home but never use it. I just drop by the super chargers around town or along all the highways and grab a 15 minute charge while I grab a Starbucks or lunch once a week.
The difference is that when a C-17 comes up on radar, there is not a predefined protocol in RU or CN to prepare all of their ICBMs for a rapid response.

What I was getting at, is do all ICBM early warning systems sit on edge more often? That would be my assumption.

We have come close to annihilation from mistakes before, this seems like a path towards more possible mistakes.

"and the fact that Muslims still exist and are important in the future isn't just like "flavor", it was an innovative idea at the time in science fiction and still is."

But, think of the alternative.

The Fremen are an 'extremist' religious group, that easily kill any foreigner, and are manipulated into a 'jihad'.

If the Movie doubled down to making them "Islamic Flavored". Then the movie and director would get crucified for portraying Muslims in an un-favorable light.

The book might have used Islamic Flavor, but it does not do it to show Islam favorably. It shows them as radical brutal desert dwellers.
I can understand getting the years 2000 (leap), 2100 (not leap), 2200 (not leap), and 2300 (not leap) wrong. But getting the year 2024 wrong is, disappointing, to put it diplomatically.

> I mean, gas stations have been dealing with this problem for decades

Given the much longer time it takes to charge an EV it's not comparable.

It becomes a serious issue based on demand, obviously, where a dearth of chargers becomes even worse. It'll be sorted out over time but meanwhile there's more pain for EV users even as the number of compatible chargers increases, lessening the positive impact.
In the olden days when bloggers walked the earth, emitting lengthy posts over RSS, they solved this problem in two ways:

Firstly, by appending forms to the end of the post where someone could type out a reply that was more likely to be a few sentences or paragraph, rather than a full-blown essay.

Secondly, by inventing "TrackBack", a standardized way for someone else's blog software to say "hey I wrote some stuff on my blog in response to this post of yours".

Both of these would get appended to the end of the blog post's page as "comments".

This very quickly enabled the new problem of "trackback/comment spam"; the enduring solution in the world of blogs to that has been "Wordpress' Askimet plugin", which is a very centralized piece of the otherwise mostly-distributed infrastructure of RSS-based blogs. I think it's like $15 a year on top of the $60 or so I pay for my Wordpress site on cheap hosting.

That doesn’t seem incorrect; given that no year is specified, it seems like it’s evaluating the constraint in the context of an implicit default year. (1970? 0CE?)

The confusing part, to me, is that Python would consider the above string to be parsed into a date in the first place, given that it has no year.

OK, but when I had to sit at the DMV for two hours, I wasn't getting paid for that time, either. So if the options are an unpaid 5 minutes on the computer, or an unpaid 2 hours at their office, one is clearly better for me.
That's not a pipeline.
Yeah, X11 really isn't a Linux thing at all; I think the association is just that Linux distros are the current hacker/poweruser OS of choice, for a lot of reasons including tools that let people do cool/powerful things with the system, and X11 is one of those tools (or the backing framework for them, at least).

I don't know what screen recording has to do with anything? Like, yes Wayland also makes the computer vision half of that example harder (you can do it in all major compositors, but details vary and GNOME is outright hostile to automating it) but Wayland doesn't have an answer to xdotool which is arguably the bigger component. (I am aware of tools like ydotool and such, but AFAIK they're all significantly weaker; they can blindly inject emulated key/mouse events, but not, say, target specific windows)
Today, we announced an exciting new partnership with Google to bring Google's Gemini to Stack Overflow and to provide Stack Overflow content directly within Google Cloud. The story of this partnership started about 16 years ago - with you, the community that made Stack Overflow what it is: the internet’s predominant resource for high-quality curated technical Q&A. This resource is ubiquitous and invaluable today, but it took countless hours of hard work and dedication from many community members to get it to this point.

In an ever-evolving world, we’re always looking for new ways to get this repository in front of the world’s technologists: those who can benefit from it and contribute back to it. And with this new joint initiative with Google, we’re laying the groundwork for this reality.

As Ryan said in our announcement today on the blog, with this and future partnerships, “Our mission is to set new standards with vetted, trusted, and accurate data that will be the foundation on which technology solutions are built and delivered to our users.”
