These "data protection authorities" weren't established instantly when the law was written. It took a good few years. But yes and yes, we never had such a problem getting any public documents before they could use the data protection authority to deny giving them out. This was easy, the local politicians just had to put a crooked individual as head of that authority and that person would do their bidding. Before that they didn't have any legal basis for denying public documents, and each time they tried to do that you could threaten court and they'd bend. With a crooked data protection authority to help them, they'd have the support of the law to deny giving out any public document they didn't want to give out.

Not in the field anymore, but I wouldn't be surprised if somebody took the data protection authority to court over this in the near future.
I can't wait for more languages to simply not include null at all. It makes trying to spot them in static analysis and runtime checks much easier, because you no longer need either.
What's it missing? flatMap/bind/whatever that's called?
How hard would it be to implement commands other than git in this client? Something like "Transient outside of Emacs", not just "Magit outside of Emacs"?
No, since the conversion is trivial in both directions and a plugin could do it automatically.
Where do you find Perl jobs? Is there a market rewriting them to something more modern like Python?
Word (offline) has had a built-in diff feature for over 10 years, and offline versioning is most likely handled like this: work_document_24_Dec_2023_Changes_from_William_final2-Copy(1).docx

But most likely collaboration is now done via SharePoint and the cloud version where you can track changes live.
I ordered an ice coffee in Lviv and I was told - "this is not a thing". Lviv has hardcore coffee culture, too. After that I did not dare order it in other countries.

So, are we talking a nice pint of ICED coffee, with ice cubes jiggling in it?
In FPGAs you are literally programming the enablement of individual logic gates. That's it.

There is no DMA or command ring, you have to implement it yourself.

The FPGA bit code itself is extremely propertiary to each vendor as the nature of controlling all the logic sauces is all secret sauce. So you have to use the vendors tooling.
So encryption is a fixed-time operation, requiring a single round-trip to the spacecraft. There is another time-delay at decryption, quantized into round-trip times; the minimum decryption delay is one round-trip. For a moon of Neptune, a round-trip is about 9 hours(?).

If I want my secret exposed in 20 years, I will need to wrap it in 18,000 layers of encryption, and then start the decryption process immediately.

The duration of one decryption step depends on the distance to the spaceship; it would be difficult (but not impossible?) to rely on a spaceship whose distance is always changing. It needs to be somewhere faraway, and also to be somewhere that's always going to be roughly the same distance away. A moon of Neptune is a reasonable candidate.
How has reddit community changed since it's API permission changes that removed all third party apps? A lot of people forecasted doom for the network and many subreddits went private to protest.

Have the predictions come true? Presumably all those changes were to juice numbers pre IPO. In hindsight, did it work?
I'm from Montreal. The heat you have experienced is completely unlike humid heat. Your sweat cools you down. I've spent two weeks in 45 degree dry heat and did just fine with a wet shirt and a twist of the throttle.

Wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature to which air can be cooled by sweating. Evaporative cooling does not work well if the air is nearly saturated with humidity. Humid heat feels a lot hotter because of that.

If the wet bulb temperature is 28 degrees, it means that drenching yourself in water in front of a fan will only cool you down to 28 degrees.

If it exceeds your maximum body temperature, you slowly die from heat stroke, no matter how much you sweat.

Just a tiny nitpick to your great answer but Nokia's 5G base station stuff (Reefshark) is built around ASICs. I would expect others do the same. There's some reasoning at https://www.electronicdesign.com/technologies/embedded/artic...

This is taking it a bit far. The choice is a lot simpler in most cases, between the loss of privacy and the loss of productivity the choice is usually for the former. Eventually for almost anything "computers" you'll loop back to a US company. Where do you think every EU company and institution is going "to the cloud"? Hetzner? OVH? Or AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI?

The background being that there's little competition for the M365 ecosystem in general, least of all in the EU. EU has homegrown "bits and pieces" that could, maybe, somehow, go head to head with the equivalent bits from M365. But as soon as you need more of them you hit the integration and synergies wall and the advantages of M365 get compounded.

In the polar regions of the Sun where the surface temperatures might be lower....

/jk

On a serious note scientists have long been able to measure that the sun has a large amount of energy available to any possible inhabitants. Until we understood enough physics around plasmas and the composition of stars it makes perfect sense to hypothesise the existence of creatures/life that would be able to utilise that energy for their own version of high temperature life. To be clear, I think that the extreme conditions in every part of the Sun preclude any possibility of life or life like processes.

> to bring the processing operations resulting from its use of Microsoft 365 into compliance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725.

This isn't GDPR specifically, this is something like "GPDR for EU institutions", so stricter.
Which specific regulation do you think has a history of not being impactful? I find that the devil is in the detail in this argument because most regulation us massively impactful and helpful and I find that the talking point that we need to get rid of it is generally loudest from those who would profit the most from not following those rules anymore.

Strangely enough, I know the answer to that, if memory is serving.

Homomorphic encryption is where you can compute on the encrypted data without ever decrypting it.

Logically, it sounds like a pipe dream to me, but apparently it's a thing.
We just need to start using what libre and opensource software is already available. That is what every public institutions should use if they are serious about privacy and sovereignty
Short term profit long term losses things are done a lot.

Also, companies seem to work against their own interests quite often. The spyware is probably on some separate budget with separate bonuses attached. So "locally" in the department it might make financial sense to spy on the users.
Many fictional titles explain very little if you have not already read the work. Take "lord of the rings" for example, or "Anna Karenina", or even "the Bible".

"Flowers for Algernon" is a fine, memorable title that makes sense in the context of what the story is about.
Sorry but that's relatively useless cherry picking. Wages and work opportunities in remote parts of France (and other such parts of southern Europe) are also much lower than in the expensive parts London, at least in tech, not counting minimum wage jobs.

There's a reason London is popular for skilled immigration and why that makes it so expensive, and it's not all speculation and wealthy petro/oligarch money. Same reason why Google, Meta, DeepMind, NovoNordisk, etc have offices there instead of in a nice castle in France.

Try looking at housing prices in Nice or Cannes and you'll see London prices with Southern-Europe wages. Same in nice parts of Austria near the Alps. At least in UK you can earn well in tech to actually buy a house close to the capital.

UK can also be cheap if you go up north around Scotland or above, but there's probably a reason why you chose to live in London and not in the north of Scotland and that's probably pay and opportunities, hence your higher house prices.
Why? It's relatively well studied. Volcanoes erupt all the time and we've done it extensively ourselves as well: https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-how-low-sulphur-shippin...
The AI's statements reflect racist biases in society which have percolated into its training data. Of course the AI itself does not 'intend' anything by the statements.

Your line of argument could be used to excuse almost anything that an AI does, as in no case will bad intentions (or intentions of any kind) underly its behavior.

The point here isn't to find someone or something that we can accuse of being racist, but simply to improve to performance of AI models to avoid these sorts of unwanted behaviors.

Cold kills more people according to the literature [1]. Heat deaths are rising, cold deaths are falling. Not in the same places though. Countries near the equator are going to suffer more than countries at higher latitudes.

The very point of the question was to address a gender difference that's independent of any specific society.

The phrasing was: "spatially across the world, and temporally throughout history."

He then talks about innate differences in animals which leads to matriarchal societies (he claims in elephants and bonobos.) Then speculates that there may be a similar distinction in humans. How do you find this simplistic? How is this "gender essentialism"?
Its telling how you phrase this.

Homomophic encryption simply means that the data is encrypted in a way that the person working with it cannot use it arbitrarily.

Here is an example, I would for instance use Google Maps for Navigation but Google or any other third party would have no idea where I am going.

I used it in the first company I worked for and it works beautifully.

A) and B) work but they are not as effective as homomophic encryption.

> But you are specifically talking about one type of AI, which is a generative language model.

...Because that's easily and widely understood to be what people mean in recent times when they're talking about "AI", referring to the stuff that's in the news, without further qualifiers.

If you want to talk about something more specific, you are going to need to be explicit about it, rather than expecting everyone else to understand what you've got in your head without actually saying it.

This is like saying "but "crypto" means so much more than just cryptocurrency! there's a whole cryptography field out there that does lots of good stuff!" It's true, but it's not helpful, because it's ignoring the obvious (at least to the other participants in the discussion) context. In this particular case, the context should be even more obvious because it's so clear that's what the article is talking about.

tig is great. One of my favourite features is that you can define your own shortcuts in the global .gitconfig. For example, when I press `=` it creates a fixup commit for the selected commit. That, together with the ability to stage single lines completely changed my workflow.

Recently, I have become a bit lazy and use PyCharm to stage and commit changes. Its diff viewer also supports staging single lines but its better integrated. For example, pressing F4 jumps to the current file/line in the main window.

Tell me which of the large problems solved by YC companies - including those with 8-9 figures of investment rounds not just the initial seed the 600k compares to - can be likened to the challenges of climate action. There are the ones doing nuclear fusion and similar; by comparison the average YC company tackles relatively small problems both in outcome and challenges encountered.

Yes, but to me there's another important issue, with all the tracking tech in our vehicles, who actually owns them? We need to treat this similar to the "right to repair" issue! I paid my money, so I own the product. [IF] I own the vehicle it should be my right to say what software runs in the background.

Of course the company can say, "If you don't like our product, don't buy it." If I want to keep up with the latest safety upgrades to my vehicle to protect myself and all car companies have the same tracking software, my only option is to look for a "dumb" vehicle. This is blatantly unsafe and irresponsible. So, they're saying that my safety comes with a price other than the $40K I shelled out?

It's likely Windows Defender, which blocks on read I/O to scan files. Verify by adding a folder to its exclusion list, though this isn't helpful if it's a desktop app. The difference is most noticeable when you're reading many small files.

I find that most people have an incredibly hard time understanding the scale of an LLM's lexicon. I think that scale is always a struggle because it directly challenges our ability to comprehend beyond our own personal/tangible reference frame.

IBM CUA

I really wish 5+ decades ago someone would have established a common user access standard for TUI, like IBM did for desktop (GUI) apps.

TUI would be much more pleasant today if all TUI used the same menu system & keys for common actions (e.g. FILE | EDIT | VIEW and CTRL C for copy / CTRL V paste).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access

EDIT:

To explain further, just look at how Emacs and Vim use different commands to 'exit'.

Emacs uses "C-x C-c", whereas Vim uses ":q!"

Exiting an app, like copy and paste, is a very common task. Yet there is no standard in how to perform that task in TUI today.

With GUI apps, we have that standard (e.g. FILE -> EXIT or on the keyboard "Alt + F4"). This standard came via IBMs CUA standard.
Dunno, I’ve spent countless hours carefully grooming my git commit histories so they make sense and convey a coherent story, just to have them destroyed by some squash zealot at merge time .

“Squash before merge” workflows seem to be more common these days and I have to think it’s mostly a push by people who do not know how to do interactive rebases and history rewrites.
This article is pretty frustrating to read. There is so many things wrong with it.

First there is the false assumption that a sciencey book like like Sapiens should be written scientifically like a research paper. This is wrong. A pop sci book aims to have a satisfying narrative that is able to interest the reader through dense information. In a research paper it is important to point out each and every way our current understanding might be lacking or wrong but for popsci books this requirement ofc doesn't exist.

Secondly, the author claimd that Harari’s speculations are consistently based on a poor understanding of science. But he says this after making his own bad speculation based on bad understanding of science by saying "This is why we have not been able to create technological systems that can infer what you or I feel at a given moment (and why we may never be able to build these all-reading all-knowing systems)."

Thirdly, the author assumes that whenever somebody asks Harari for his speculation on the future, that they see him as some sort of oracle, and take it as fact? People aren't that stupid.

Fourthly, he points to Harari writing in 2017 that he thinks a pandemic is unlikely and that he still continues to do interviews, even though he was wrong. Again, predicting the future is impossible, and every prediction will be wrong in some way. Also incorporating new data and adjusting your future speculation, is exactly what you're supposed to do. if you predict no pandemic before corona hits, you apparently need to adjust your models. it's the scientific method, not a character flaw.

fifthly, the author seems to add his own flavor of human exceptionalism in the end. Implying that human genetics and biology is such an intricate process that it forever will be impossible to truly understand and target certain qualities with gene editing. This idea is like going into the ocean, diving 10 meters, realise that you still cannot see the bottom and conclude that the ocean is therefore bottomless.

Again he inserts his ideas of human exceptionalism by saying that the fate of humanity is free for us to decide and he claims that we should see the new capitalist model as some sort of malicious external thing that blemishes humanity's greatness, but guess what? that new capitalist model IS humanity, it's us, we're doing that. Humanity is doing the good things but also the bad things. We cannot claim ownership of one without owning the other.

Also this author berates Harari for fear mongering when he posits a thought experiment about biometric trackers being a privacy nightmare, but in the end accuses him of helping surveillance capitalist do exactly that?
They should install a gravity switch. A simply contact that uses gravity to either remain normally-open or normally-closed, and then when the opposite is true, automatically flush.
> Paying a subscription for using our own computer's resources and network

I agree with the rest of your comment, but not sure this part is accurate. People pay for Microsoft Word or Photoshop etc., and then run them entirely on their own computer using their own computer's resources and network.
We read this aloud together in grade school. I skipped ahead and thoroughly regretted it. The class was still in the hopeful portion, and I had to watch them come to the same realization I did.

When you're that young, you're used to the idea that you will constantly learn, grow, and expand your horizons. The idea of regression is both real and likely is frightening and motivating. It's truly a story that has stuck with me.
