Comparing Graffiti with Bank robbery is crazy.

imho (!) ...

nice articles ... but - there is always a but ;))

yes, part of it was the "anti-nuclear sentiment" ... but i would say, only a smaller part.

the "real" reason was internal austrian politics.

you have to know the background: during the 1970ties a left-leaning socialist government propelled the country into the future - implemented a large package of reforms -, after decades of societal backlash & stagnation following the 2nd world-war and at first only marginal influence of the late 60ties and early 70ties worldwide students protests etc.

so after zwentendorf was build chancellor kreisky throw all of his popular weight behind it and did something remarkable (i would say: stupid): he said, if the popular vote ends against zwentendorf, he will resign => the liberal-conservative austrian peoples party saw the light to get rid of him and invested heavily into this ... the rest is history...

> What's your problem?

No problem. Why the hostility?

> You selectively quoted a fraction of my statement and threw in a strawman.

I disagreed with the first part of your statement and agreed with the second part. Are you only reading to respond and not to comprehend? Also, how are studies or facts "a strawman".

What does dealing with those 4 things have to do with your initial gross oversimplification?
First and second order problems aren't woke they're rational observations to outcome. The first order problems are decarbonise the second order problems are the anti wind and anti solar and anti nuke argument. It's not designed to denigrate or put somebody down, its distinguishing between categories of reasoning and outcome drive.

I'm sorry if you think I said it to be dismissive or to put somebody down. I just want to try and assert that aesthetics and personal preference have to rank against a larger outcome.

I accept for some people their personal outcome outranks wider goals. I don't know how you discuss problems with that view: what's the basis of e.g. decarbonising, if you don't believe it's a problem or don't care, as long as your personal domain is unaffected?

There is no irony there at all.

Austria, just like many other European countries, are connected to a single grid which has all kinds of energies and where everybody buys on the European Energy Exchange.

This grid is what makes the rapid transition to renewable energies possible, and which shows that the base load scare is not more than just one of many FUD tools which aim at slowing down or stopping a transition which is already there in full force.

I'm not sure I agree there truly are such things as "alternatives" to windmills depending on what you mean. Presumably you locate windmills in places where it's most advantageous to do so, where they are the best answer to a present need, not in places where they are worse than some other alternative, where they, as the lesser alternative, have to make up the difference with escalated emphasis on aesthetic concerns.

It's one of the more idiosyncratic rationalizations for escalated aesthetic standards I have yet heard.
I switched to archlinuxarm on my rpi4 cause I got sick of having to jump through hoops to do mundane things like needing a ppa to install ripgrep or downloading debs for less popular packages.

Apart from a little confusion about how to configure the bootloader(since rpi uses uboot as opposed to the usual suspects), my experience has been amazing. In typical arch fashion, I've had zero issues apart from on install day.
But not in statutory crimes. Such as statutory rape - you not knowing doesn't absolve you, as the legislation mandates that it is on you to check (within reasonable bounds).
>Relatives don't enter the picture (as opposed to withdrawing of life support).

But their doctor does? That is just bizarre.

Here in Germany, if you aren't fit to make your own medical or legal decisions, the state will try to appoint a family member as your formal caretaker in those matters.

Honestly hearing this made me significantly more apprehensive about the whole thing. This seems like an awful idea.

Apple mandated the changes to Tumblr that pissed everyone off. I'd almost call this a forced error, but Apple's rationale for bringing the hammer down on Tumblr was App Review finding CSAM on the front page. Which is itself a failure of their moderation team.

In contrast, DeviantArt saw dollar signs from AI art and rugpulled themselves. Their business model relies on art remaining scarce enough to not exhaust the demand for art. A machine that lets you create unlimited art for the cost of some GPU time completely destroys the economic underpinnings of most artistic endeavor. While not all artists are solely economically motivated, the ones that are economically successful are the ones paying for dA subscriptions - the things that keep the site alive.

That sort of decoupling could be fascinating. IMO, the walls may be as much a function of economics as physics.

Running a small number of powerful radios on low-frequency spectrum is a cost-effective way to cover large areas. Physics constrains how much of that can happen in the same area. But if networks are willing spend cash, they can get a ton of capacity by densely deploying high-frequency radios. Don't think we're anywhere near hitting the walls on what's possible there.

Putting this another way, networks provide enough bandwidth for everyone in Manhattan. It's just expensive.

Of course, people did not have money to pay, and were under. There were forced liquidations.

I don't lisp, but `in-iterators` is badly named unless there's precedent elsewhere in the lisp community. I initially expected it to implement (Cartesian) `product` rather than what's usually called `chain` (though admittedly the former is less useful in a language where `for*` is directly possible). Note that `product` really needs optimizations depending on whether its inner iterators can be trusted to be repeatable or not.

I also find it a bit fragile for iterator implementations to use 2 functions, rather than a single function returning `value | unique-end-of-iterator-sentinel` (there are at least 3 obvious ways to lay this out such that there are no values an iterator cannot produce).
https://cppquiz.org contains a list of similar questions in C++.

There is exactly nothing about defacing public infrastructure which elicits the tiniest spark of "admiration" or "interest" in me.

If you want to live out your "artistic ambitions" do it somewhere away from public property.
Inefficiency in public infrastructure works might be a cost of a much higher degree of personal and political freedoms.

Apparent efficiencies in public infrastructure works might be short-lived in a centrally directed economy and/or hides deep inefficiences elsewhere in the system.

(It might also be that 1960s stucco houses are preferable to dense apartment living for many people, and that Op misses the forest for the trees in the wider context of why and for whom anything is built anywhere).

I'm not in the USA or China though. Take with grains of salt.
I would go further, and say that public transport improves quality of life far more than sound absorbers for public transport do. It's nice that these things exist, but we should be spending money on more public transport, not necessarily on making public transport more palatable to people. I realise that's an unfortunate necessity, but it's clear that people pushing back on public transport just haven't seen its benefits enough.

You paint a very incomplete picture by neglecting to mention NYC's failure to build the IND “Second System” which would have connected many of the same areas as the Cross-Bronx Expressway. The simultaneous political support for building the one that required expensive car ownership and against building the one which anybody could ride tells me that the freeway was not the real problem here lol

Transitive dependencies are a poor indicator of actual utilization. How many direct dependencies are there?

For what it's worth, I quit using it since it broke if you ever used the CL function `count` inside an iterate construct. Reportedly it was fixed, but it's still failing to work correctly using the Quicklisp version (just installed CL on and setup QL since it's a new laptop, so it shouldn't be pulling an old version). It was fun for a while, but having to remember "Oh yeah, don't use count" every time I reached for it for something natural was annoying and not worth bothering with.
Thanks!

Hope it brings out the platform's intent well.
Hey man, those banks, brokers, and agencies are still in business lol still trust them?
Yes of course they should. Youth gangs on the other hand shouldn't.

5g is higher frequency, lower wavelength. That means it gets better potential speeds when it does work, but it's going to have more difficulty penetrating barriers, reaching longer distances, do worse in inclement weather, and so on. This is also a fundamental limitation of trying to reach higher speeds with this form of tech, because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. The point of this being that 5g is inherently less reliable/robust than 4g, and so it's not too surprising that you'd need a booster, especially if 4g in an area is not the hottest.
It's definitely hard mode, we already have to have a mesh around the eggplants, tomatoes, etc and have a black walnut tree... We'll find a way :)

> I'm not even sure renting homes in general is a good idea.

Let's review the situation here. 1) The large majority of the land in the area is zoned exclusively for single-family homes. 2) Some people don't have the money to buy, e.g. no down payment or bad credit.

Where are they supposed to live?
Pity they didn't include something like FT8.
Or if we go back pre-Putin in Russia, Lysenkoism [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysenkoism], a truly bizarre ideology where it was taboo to discuss natural selection - getting 3000+ academics sent to the gulag, many outright executed, and leading to large scale declines in crop output contributing to famines. Including contributing to the Great Famine in China which killed 10’s of millions [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Chinese_Famine].

Or, as the wiki article quotes - “Lysenko claimed that the concept of a gene was a "bourgeois invention", and he denied the presence of any "immortal substance of heredity" or "clearly defined species", which he claimed belong to Platonic metaphysics rather than strictly materialist Marxist science. ”
The reliance of the Austrian power grid on nuclear energy, combined with their total refusal to produce it domestically is certainly ironic. This phenomenon also predates any notion of green energy transition by several decades.

Because at best it is ugly. On average you are defacing someone's property and worst case you are causing serious economic damage to someone.

It's a reason it is a crime, although sadly it doesn't seem to be really enforced or punished, given the prevalence.

They are mistaking cause and effect.

What looks like "targeting minority neighborhoods", is actually "minorities are more likely to live in areas where new highways would normally be built".

Look at any major city. Are the expensive neighborhoods built near exiting highways or interchanges? Not really, they tend to be built further away.

And if you go back to when highways were being built (50-70's), most middle income families fled cities to the suburbs, and inner city housing prices dropped, which attracted low income minorities.

I have seen this comment in regards to Gnome a few times across various discussions. Not really sure that this actually means. Gnome shows notifications at top center which is more distracting than notifications in lower right corner. If you want to quickly search and launch something you have to go to overview mode which shows all windows, workspaces, dash, which is very distracting when all you wanted to do was search application.

It looks like the battery improvements are creating a 'wait and see' anticipation.
There is also the realisation that the initial demand to reach 350-500 miles to avoid range anxiety was in error. A perfectly good car with 200 miles of range and a 60% saving of battery cost can be made and will serve up to 75% of people. You can also have a 2 or 3 tiered battery system and a huge saving with the one tier(1/3rd sized) and a 2/3 tiered with added range/cost.
In addition, Teslas were very costly in other ways. You could make a small Tesla with 150 miles, smaller body/seats that would sell in the $20,000 range.
The real future lies with these long lasting, shorter range and lower cost cars.
The USA has made huge tariffs to keep China out - how will they keep $20,000 US cars out?

Yes, I feel like asking an LLM this type of problem is like giving someone access to Google during an open book math test.

It’d be interesting to obfuscate it so that the concepts are all the same but the subject matter would be hard to google for. Another failure mode for LLM’s is if you take something with a well-known answer and add a twist to it.

You wouldn't admire it if you were in a coffee shop and someone decided to unload their artistic ejaculation on your MacBook. Public infrastructure belongs to the public, no single person is the owner, and you don't get to deface it just because you think it's pretty that way.

Cleanly maintained public infrastructure sends a message: that this is a place where people take these things seriously.

I very much think R is more of a “do everything language” because put simply, R lets developers do a lot more than Python in the language itself. It’s how the implementation of “polars” in R basically looks the exact same as in Python. R is like English in its ability to bring in other languages. Take a look at how many OOP systems there are. The best book on these subjects is https://adv-r.hadley.nz/metaprogramming.html.

I think what you're missing is assuming that what an LLM "reads" thinks is a true statement. Shitposting is almost like meta slang. I feel like that's a necessary thing for it to train on to truly understand language. I feel like people underestimate the depth LLMs can pick up on.
They don't rely on nuclear energy.

They rely on the grid. Just like the rest of the connected countries. Just like nuclear country France does.

What kind of energy is cheap at the moment there is irrelevant. If nuclear energy would be turned off on the grid, like it happens all the time when the French fleet needs repairs again for example, no lights go out in Austria. Just like no lights go out in France.

What you do is the same thing as making fun of humans because they rely on supermarkets and don't go out on the streets and shoot some animals.

We need better international KYC methods which provide privacy protection to the extend needed for the application. We have NFC passports; the North Koreans don’t have access to those while stealing identities and for instance the iPhone can scan them. It is an extra hurdle, making it very hard to do this at any scale (like 1000s) and then it’s not really worth it anymore.

Note though that this is a problem on sites like upwork too; many ‘western’ people turn out to be Chinese, North Korean, Middle Eastern or Indian. They have AI or stolen ‘white male’ pictures and names; they have excuses why they don’t want to call with you or the call is rather bad quality (AI with bad quality faking filters?). Upwork doesn’t care, but I hear a growing amount of companies falling for it. Mind you; most of these are not a problem in technical sense, however if you think you hired someone with a solid grip of the english language, cultural connections, chances to meet up irl etc, and of course the lying from the outside, makes it a problem.
