Another counter example is when the thing you are recording literally _is_ the natural key. Phone numbers are a good example of this. There is no situation in which some data entry error will break a number. That is the creation of a new distinct (possibly) broken number. A phone number doesn't care about any externality in the world. It is what it is.

> The EU General Court’s ruling said in its judgement Wednesday, June 5, 2024, that the U.S. fast food giant failed to prove that it was genuinely using the Big Mac name over a five-year period for chicken sandwiches, poultry products or restaurants.

I'm confused. Does this mean that McDonald's still has the trademark for hamburgers, and that this lawsuit was specifically about striking down the trademark in other, less important categories?
Question is: "Alice has 60 brothers and she also has 212 sisters. How many sisters does Alice’s brother have?" (nb: I have added numbers, it's phrased as X and N in the paper)

I must confess, when I tried to answer the question I got it wrong...! (I feel silly). I only realised I got it wrong when I plugged it into GPT-4o and it came back with the correct answer:

https://chatgpt.com/share/6eb5fa36-e0fd-4417-87d1-64caf06c34...

Worth noting that the prompts from the experiment include "To answer the question, DO NOT OUTPUT ANY TEXT EXCEPT following format that contains final answer: ### Answer:" so it appears that they are stopping the models from 'thinking out loud'. If I add that to the prompt, GPT4o gets it consistently wrong...

https://chatgpt.com/share/7e6a7201-dd2b-43c6-8427-76e5b003ca...

Also worth noting that there are more complex examples where GPT4o seems to fall down such as:

> Alice has 3 sisters. Her mother has 1 sister who does not have children - she has 7 nephews and nieces and also 2 brothers. Alice's father has a brother who has 5 nephews and nieces in total, and who has also 1 son. How many cousins does Alice's sister have?

However I can't honestly say that this is THAT simple or that most people would get this right...
Oh, mac has the same issue and for the same reason: the same programs will create the same garbage.

~/Library also isn't something that is used to be; it was good idea, but mostly ignored. Basically similar idea as XDG_(CONFIG|CACHE|DATA)_DIR.

What's worst, is that many projects ignore any effort to move them to XDG schema. They take the approach, that they always did it this way, it works, so why changing it.

I hear this meme a lot, but I think it's kind of laughable to think that Texas could break off.

The Civil War made it pretty clear that states cannot leave the union, and doing so would probably be treated as an act of war, and while Texas does have a pretty impressive economy, it's still not enough to take on the entire rest of the United States.

I lived in Texas for awhile, and there is this sort of running idea that Texas is somehow able to be self-sufficient in a way that other states cannot be. I think I dispute that.
Well, the Texas economy has been booming. It has been outpacing the rest of the US for many quarters now. They are financially doing something right.

I’d recommend against this if you are using Cloudflare for DNS or Proxying. If they decide to close your account then you’ll lose access to your domains too. Whereas if you register them elsewhere, you’ll at least have a path to recovery in the event of Cloudflare account closure or catastrophic failure.
All of which is precisely my point ... the NN/ML pathway does not lead to a modeller who can provide valuable insight when asked about the system.
Have you tried that with various devices these days? It's getting increasingly difficult to convince various mobile OSes to accept internal root CAs (largely for good reasons, but that's a different discussion).

> you need to leverage the existing public infrastructure, which doesn't give it away as a free beer but sells it.

No, it's the opposite these days. The existing PKI these days is free (Letsencrypt and others), but getting a public domain that any browser-acceptable CA will issue certificates for isn't. Your domain registration/renewal fees don't pay for that PKI.

I think it's urgently needed for browser vendors, the IETF etc. to get together and figure out a solution for accessing "mymediocreiotdevice.home" without a barrage of "zomg no HTTPS!!", "zomg self-signed cert!" etc. warnings, as these will only desensitize users further to actual problems on publicly-accessible sites.
Maybe we're getting lost in the weeds. I'm not arguing for determinism, though Robert Sapolsky certainly is if you're keen on learning more. Also my perspective doesn't justify or make a murderer moral, it just leaves room for change. I think it's fruitful to assume we're both arguing in good faith here yes?

Anyways, back to it. What I'm saying is that a kings conduct to do governance doesn't tell me about their character as a human. We all curate profiles and have different moral standards based on the situation (see spreadsheet example).

So to say that it's an entirely level playing field isn't fair to social conditions and identity. A kings conduct is instrumental, whereas personal conduct, if done with grace, is often not. Me helping you without any favour returned is by all accounts something humans value. A king helping a vassal state implies more than just a deontological 'good for the sake of good'. To realize that is to, I feel, realize that politics exist.
Personally, I think it's because architectural aesthetics reflect the nature of the culture that builds the architecture. It expresses both the general "personality" and the priorities of the culture. I think the same is true for all man-made things, really, but architecture is the topic of the article.

So when we are looking at buildings being created today, we're looking in a mirror of sorts.

>People know what "private" means.

A general rule is people don't know shit when it comes to legal definitions. When you have a video it's private to you. When you give that video to a friend it's 'private' between both of you. And when you put a private video on youtube it's 'private' between you and the conglomerate entity of hundreds of thousands of people and all their contractors called Google.

Now the contractor did break the rule and shared it, but your idea of private as no one will see it is the broken expectation.
It sounds like the complete opposite. It sounds more like Facebook were trying to unfairly hide support for Palestine whilst allowing support for Israel and Ukraine on the platform. It sounds as if they were unhappy he was trying to make the platform fairly representative.
No, you obviously need data. But several times when I've challenged the unacknowledged role that data pre-identification and classification is playing, I've been told that this isn't needed any more. You can just throw unorganized, unclassified data at these things (so they claim), and it will "figure it out".
Your are correct.

But 'red-tape' is also what people call the rules that are effective, but prevent them from doing something nefarious that would be profitable.

'Red-Tape' = 'stopping me from doing something bad but would make me money, thus is taking away my freeeeeeeedooaaammmm'.

'Red-Tape' can also be non-productive rules that just hinder progress, but that isn't usually what is meant.

You can laugh - and maybe should laugh - but this is in fact a real thing. Swapping to NFS was... I won't say common, but not unheard of once upon a time, almost always in diskless machines. You boot from the network, you mount your root filesystem and home over the network, you swap over the network. These days it's better to use NBD (network block device) for that, at least on Linux, but the option remains. And yes, it remains a pretty niche thing, because yeah network isn't exactly ideal performance, but it's available if you need it.
The First Law of Modern Politics is that nothing may ever be called by its right name. This applies recursively, i.e. it applies to metaphors and euphemisms as well as to their original referents. "Red tape" means "you are making it harder for me to steal money, cut that shít out."

I do somewhat seriously wonder if we'd all be better off at this point. Let the so-called libertarians all flock there (as they're happy to suggest other do, e.g. when local laws are passed to restrict reproductive rights). It'd be a release valve for lots of the tension which has arisen over the last few years.

That’s the window of time in Europe that a trademark has to be used before it can be taken away.

I am I reading this right? They're revoking the Big Mac (hamburger) trademark because it wasn't also used for chicken sandwiches?

That seems kind of nonsensical to me. I assume McDonald's sells Big Mac (hamburgers) in Europe.

I'm Sebastián Alejo Iglesias, a software engineer and teacher based in Argentina, who speaks English and Spanish. I've been working in the tech industry for over 8 years, and I've had the opportunity to work for both big tech companies and startups. I'm a full stack engineer, and I'm proficient in a variety of languages and technologies, including Java, Scala, Typescript, and React. I'm passionate about building innovative and user-friendly software. I'm also a lifelong learner, and I'm always eager to learn new things. In my free time, I enjoy testing machine learning tools, 3D printing, ham radio, hydroponics, soccer, gaming, and traveling. My goal is to be happy with myself and with my work. I hope to one day start my own company, but I'm unsure as to what that company will do. For now, I'm focused on learning and growing as a software engineer.

> There is no expectation of a video stored on a Google system being private to Google employees

"No expectation" of it not being available to "some" employees maybe, but there is certainly ways to restrict access to only a need-to-know employees. Ideally no employees at all unless some sort of automated monitoring system flags it or there is an outside report.

Just like some social networks, I would "expect" only security and moderation people would have access to profiles but there are always stories of entire companies having unrestricted access.

It's unclear from the article where the access boundaries are in this case.

I have that exact issue with a couple different identifiers, and it's not a big deal. Usually it goes along with some data model change you already have to write compatibility code for, the new and old names tend to be related, and the old name tends to stick around other parts of the code anyway. Opaque IDs don't reduce the confusion there, documentation in appropriate places does.
