> (e.g. covers of renovation works can contain up to 50% of advertising area, so we have renovations of just finished buildings only to put the covers with ads).

Actually finetuning the policies and regulations may provide the right incentive to both promote regular upkeep of buildings as well as funding them. Example: Ads over scaffold are only allowed every 5 years during renovations.
"Today" newspaper launched in 1986 - it was the first newspaper that was printed in colour in the UK.

Many press photographers used B&W film since there was little point using (and paying more) for colour. Also, they likely bought their cameras and worked as media photographers for several decades beforehand when B&W was even more prevalent.

Yeah we have some work to do to make it easier to navigate on the keyboard.

For the "parent window" what are you imagining here as your frame of reference? This idea makes sense but I'm wondering if you want to designate a specific window as an anchor vs some heuristic that identifies such an anchor.

The government deciding how to use tax money is not authoritarian. Making people and companies responsible for eating the cost of automobiles isn't authoritarian either, if anything I'd say it's the opposite.

A big part of the reason why automobiles are so successful is that the cost are externalized. If oil companies and automobile manufacturers were forced to pay the cost of climate degradation they'd starve. But they're essentially on a type of welfare - where the people, and gov, eat those costs instead.

If we're playing welfare anyway, we might as well use it for public transit. And, as an aside, climate change is a real thing. It's not even up for debate. And yes, in order to solve a problem, you need policies. The "try nothing and hope it works" approach has been our approach forever and surprise! It doesn't work.
I'll try to get back to this to give a proper response, but can't promise.
Russia already had saboteurs disrupted ahead of the Olympics, https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/24/russia...

This is low effort. The real problem with a dictatorship is that people rise through loyalty rather than competence. The people are too afraid to call attention to the situation. You get childish actions like this as a result.

This whole site appears to be an urbanist propaganda site. Suburbs are evil, suburbs are racist, suburbs are stealing our money, suburbs are... Here's how to "organize" a Community Action Committee to rail against suburbs

The thing about big cities is the government has way more control over your daily life if you're stuck in one place.
Paris is already a huge tourism destination - so it's not going to benefit from increased name recognition, or "putting the city on the map" like a less well known city might. Those hotel rooms were going to get booked at the height of summer, olympics or not.

And cities the size of Paris often don't really benefit from expanding tourism - tourism jobs generally lower average salaries. And they're not just poorly paid, they're also often seasonal work.

The main benefit is when there was a bunch of infrastructure you wanted to upgrade anyway, and having a strict deadline helps stop schedule over-runs.
The issue here is that someone who forgets the concert is already over vs a search engine tells me the wrong dates for a concert is that, I expect the computer to provide accurate information. This wasn’t an issue 10 years ago. Google a festival or event, get a website or article about it, they provide the dates.

This is like your local newspaper giving the wrong movie times or incorrect scores from the big game. People make mistakes but people’s whose job it is to provide information about something and who are unable to reliably provide that information tend to lose their jobs. Why should I “hire” OpenAI’s solution if it fails to be even as reliable as a human?

> Appeasement is a word pointlessly thrown around by people who don't uderstand history.

I would say appeasement is the approach taken by people who don't understand history.

Putin has been appeased for decades (Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine 2014 and 2022). How did that work out? It didn't, he just kept escalating.

> Find a compromise for peace. Stop the posturing and find a damn compromise.

How do you find a compromise with a robber and rapist? If someone comes to your home, rapes you, and says your home has always been theirs and you're fake, what sort of compromise would you find with them?

And for the record yes, Russian troops are looting, raping, and enacting a genocide (if nothing else they've proudly said they've kidnapped hundreds of thousands of kids for reeducation which is in the literal definition of genocide).
iirc the go-to data structure for this kind of problem is called a “vantage point tree” (vp tree).

Another approach that I haven’t explored is to prep the array of words to search into a tree. normal words in Latin languages have lots of common prefixes and suffixes so you can dramatically reduce the amount of nodes (see my own old blog which compresses a scrabble dictionary https://williame.github.io/post/87682811573.html - same prefix suffix sharing our work on non-scrabble rotations too). Now walk the tree doing Levenshtein but checking multiple words at once?
This may age badly, but imho: Long term, the meaningful work will be work that absolutely require in-person presence.

People in Russia are indoctrinated and their thinking and worldview is heavily influenced by Russian propaganda. They have never enjoyed freedom of thought or legal protection from the intrusive, corrupt, and murderous state. Their lives belong to the state just like their goals. The concept of personal freedom or privacy doesn't exist in Russia.

Even those who travel abroad don't seem to change their behaviour and thinking no matter how often and how long they visit other countries. They have become the scourge of the tourist resorts that will still take their money. Europeans don't want to go there anymore. It's all vodka, loud parties, and being absolute assholes to others. They are quickly becoming the Sentinelese of Europe.

I will not read Russian media, I had enough of it in my early years when it was compulsory. Russians pillaged my country of birth and continue to be an existential threat. Russians also lied to everybody after 1989 and used the time, the trust, and the money to arm themselves and start invading and killing neighbours. There is zero truth in what Russians say. They can keep their ballet and Dostoyevsky.

lol. Yeah, the intro was a rotating metallic object. It used the blue to orange gradient giving it a steel look. I remembered it had this sound of buzzing metal (Transformers alike) which should have been an advanced effect for the PC speakers. The game itself didn't have much content to it, other than the (female?) metallic android, the gradient sky and simple terrain. I guess these elements had so much detail because of their large size.
(to the tg channel of Ukrainian politician, who is in exile in Spain and has survived an assassination attempt).

About that "politician", Andrij Shariy whom you are citing as some kind of a credible figure, if not a martyr of sorts -- from WP:

In a 2010 article, "Blue Rust. Dictatorship of Sodomites"[4] Shariy expressed an opinion that due to death sentences for same-sex and adultery relationships in Iran after the Islamic revolution the situation with prostitution, pedophilia, and rape in Iran was much better than in Ukraine.”[79]: 46–47, 57 [81] In the summer of 2020, journalist Sergei Ivanov posted screenshots of Anatoly Shariy's publications from 2010 in which he showed understanding for the extermination of homosexuals and Roma in gas chambers during the Third Reich.[82][83]

No credible information has emerged about the alleged attempts on his life. However he is under investigation by the SBU for inciting nationalist hatred.

Part of making public transit better is making the car experience worse, necessarily. Because you need to take up time, and space, for PT. Unless you put all your trains underground, and build bike lines in an alternative (but parallel) universe. If you want an equal playing field, meaning both are given equal consideration, then naturally the car experience will be worse.

The inverse is also true. The public transport experience is bad now because the car experience is optimized.

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about this and there’s two problems you’ve illustrated: there’s the repeating bluff problem. That can be solved by simply saying you can’t submit the same move that has already been blocked this round.

But that makes the “force draw” problem even worse. I guess it’s a lot more fair to make draws easy to achieve. I don’t know if it’s fun.
But the time limits won't be even. Give people 24 hours to turn it in and you'll have some doing the expected 8 hours of work and others who might do 16 hours of work. Still, I don't want to spend 8 hours on an interview task. If you want to see work that I've created for personal projects, just look at Github and websites I provide on the resume. Don't make me spend a full day doing busy work for a job that I statistically won't get.
That for sure is a great point, it's actually something Dorota brought up in her talk this year https://vimeo.com/940487124
Semantic-grep – NLP-powered text search in Go
I've built a command-line tool called semantic-grep for searching free-text English content using natural language queries. Some key features:
Uses word2vec embeddings to find semantically similar text
Written in Go, using only the standard library
Familiar CLI UI
Can process data streams piped as input
Finds similarity in a sliding window of text
It's designed for developers and researchers who need to search large text datasets more intelligently than simple keyword matching. The tool is still in early stages, so I'd appreciate any feedback or feature suggestions.

I mean if you gave an American the option between say NK and USA they'll probably chose USA. However, if you just omit a comparison and ask them if they trust the USA they'll probably say no.

That's the cleverness of this. You aren't trying to convince them that Russia is better. You're just trying to convince them that USA is failing compared to its previous self.

>Doing 'effective marketing' costs a large amount of money.

Yes. It requires an investment. Setting up a website. Maybe going to and speaking at relevant events. Sending out press releases. Etc. If you're going to setup a business and just not tell anyone, you probably shouldn't bother. And, in general, telling people and promoting your business is marketing even if you don't classically advertise.
> They also didn't know that well to talk about their emotions or even process them effectively, so just bottled them up and continued.

If that method of handling their emotions made them more resilient to hardship, then maybe it was the correct way after all.

Obviously we need to stop companies from paying them off, but that's not impossible.
The useful thing about proofs is that they are written in English (or another language), not formal logic. In general they can be mapped to formal logic, though. This means that people can digest them on an intuitive level. The actual goal of a proof is to create new knowledge (via the proof) which can be distributed across the mathematical community. If proofs exist but are not easily comprehensible, then they don’t accomplish this goal.
In a free market your product, if it is truly better than competitors, will sell more. Because consumers will research products based on merit, and consumers can tell somehow which product is higher quality, and they can do it instantly.

As you can see, we have never lived in a free market.

Generally, I don't know how to (philosophically) navigate the tensions between Functional / Object Oriented / Imperative / Declarative paradigms, except to remind myself about The Thing That Actually Matters (in my estimation)... to always remember that The State is the frenemy.

All the news I've been able to find about EV sales slowing is from 2024, GGP's link is about 2023.

https://www.coxautoinc.com/market-insights/q1-2024-ev-sales/ says "EV share of total new-vehicle sales in Q1 was 7.3%, a decrease from Q4 2023." Though looking at the raw statistics[1], that's still a 2.6% YoY increase so hard to say if the downturn is merely seasonal or part of a larger trend. I couldn't find any data at all about Q2 2024, which is what the Tesla report we're discussing is for.

> If someone comes to your home, rapes you, and says your home

Oh no, not yet another completely pointless "raped in your home" analogy. A nation is not a home and its citizens are not family, otherwise we'd manage countries much differently.

> Russian troops are looting, raping, and enacting a genocide

There's no genocide ongoing in Ukraine. No international authority has declared or recognized what's going on as genocide.

Looting and raping is what happens in any war. The Americans know it very well.

The question is: if you consider what's going on in Ukraine a genocide, with 10k civilians killed over 2 years and a half of war, how do we define what's going on in Israel/Palestine, with 40k civilians killed over 10 months of war?

What about the ~200k civilian killed during USA's unjustified invasion of Iraq? How come we ended up appeasing the warmongers in that situation?

So you see, if it's not worth causing a WWIII for Palestine, or for Iraq, then it's objectively not worth it for Ukraine.

These are the rules, and it wasn't Russia who set them.

And before you accuse me of "whataboutism": I'm not raising different issues to derail the conversation, I'm bringing in some much needed context to explain my reasoning.

The user asked for music festivals in August, and the response confidently listed a festival that was not in August, with dates that were not the correct festival dates.

It's an understandable mistake given the dates included on that festival's page, but it's still a mistake. And the mistake is presented as a confident answer, which is the issue with these kinds of tools including Google's search result summary answers.

It's such a lucrative revenue stream that I doubt companies will be convinced of any utility in open-sourcing. Similar to AI regulation, the car companies can just claim that any public access to the code will make cars more dangerous.
They do use btrfs. However, Synology also uses some additional tools on top of btrfs. From what I remember (could be wrong about the precise details), they actually run mdadm on top of btrfs, and use mdadm in order to get the erasure coding and possibly the cache NVME disk too. (By erasure coding, I mean RAID 5/6, or SHR, which are still unstable generally in BTRFS).
Wtf? This is a bizzare take. Facebook poured in millions of dollars of R&D into btrfs.

China tends to be even more narrowly focused than Western powers on mineral extraction in its African investment, and they also have a reputation for relying very heavily on imported Chinese labor in their projects, which means the benefits percolate less than they would with Western projects (itself a pretty meager benefit usually!).

Or it could be a reference to the Chinese tendency to invest in the form of giving countries loans that they are ill-equipped to pay back, and China playing very hardball on poorest country debt forgiveness.

@liotier, I've been rate-limited and cannot reply to you directly, so I'm editing my response into this comment. My apologies.

I didn't intend any slight to French infrastructure or those designing and securing it, just the dynamics of the problem. It is easier to attack than to defend, particularly in physical security. I'm sure critical infrastructure is well taken care of. Do you know if TGV is considered as critical as the other sites you noted? I'm curious of your opinion about what level of expertise and intelligence collection it required to carry this out.
"Old" is a state of mind. If you find yourself believing that everything new is terrible and you want to go back to "the good old days," then yeah, you're old. If you're still open to learning new things and adapting to and exploring the world as it changes around you, then you're not old yet.
