> to a rather narrow audience of age 50+

Not so narrow if you take into account that median age in Germany is 45.3y old, average age is 49.8y old and you take a look at its population pyramid. Add to that +65 people are probably the biggest consumers of medias because they have more free time.
This is beside the point.

The point is that many OSes include tools that you can use to do remote maintenance as long as you have the password and physical access. There's nothing to write home about.

There being inactive software somewhere to do maintenance that can be used if you have physical access and the password is as best interesting (curiosity), at worst not newsworthy, and in any case not concerning.

Now, phones sold pre-filled with junk / invasive software all over the place is gross.
It's good to try to boil Aristotle down to some topological order, because it is latent there.

But to get the order right, this presentation needs some background in the Greek terms Aristotle is using. E.g., focus on the first few lines of the Nichomachean Ethics, about all beings having a good for themselves; that pulls in his metaphysics, some logic, and orients you to the argument structure.

(Personally, I'm not fond of the moving images.)

There's really something quite magical when you're having a debate with someone with vastly different views but they're reasonable and you both find common ground. Probably a good indication of partner compatibility - I don't think it's healthy if you and your partner have exactly the same views.

Solving a good issue to make life efficient
We all have limited time and energy every day, so we all desire to make these most productive. The ways we have for these are either to drop some non-important work and put all energy towards important things that matter, or the second way is to reduce inefficiencies. As I don't know what's important for someone, and what's not I decided to make life efficient through other ways.

So, for this, I picked a problem, which is very known to anyone who has done business. As Customers are the oxygen of any business, contacting, and following up on them is like a tedious cycle that can't be stopped. As we all know, when a business scale, so does its user base, for which there is a very manual way of calling them. This is something which hasn't changed for a long. Still, a business needs to have a team of people, who constantly spend hours on customers, conveying that same information again and again, contacting them for little things.

As I thought, I could try to solve this, I am now working to create an AI call Agent, that can contact thousands of customers, based on some basic info you provide. I want it to be the most smooth talker, which does not speak, but listens, questions, understands, and then replies. Also after the call it will provide a good concise summary of the call, provide good analytics of each call, and also give recommendations about which calls a follow up and get a lead, so if a human wants, he then also contact that specific users, saving a huge chunk of time.

As this is gonna be a big project, upon which I am working, I need some help towards it. So, if you know full-stack or ML, please contact me. Also, it would be great to hear from everyone about suggestions and advice.

Thanks for reading!!!
> We are forced to make our life complex.

No we aren't. People choose (or not) to make their lives complex, it isn't forced upon them.
For Math.sin(Math.pi/6), I'm not sure. When I run it in Python, I get 0.49999999999999994, not exactly 0.5, so it could be that your implementation is slightly different, or that the printed value doesn't exactly match the in-memory representation.
Sorry, I typed some words but in the end found I can't do it better than GPT and decide not to post them. The quoted comment describes a fact that various other philosophers raised different views.

Most of the arguments can be seen as overthinking. This is how we make our life worse.
News is propaganda[1]. Why would I pay to be force-fed propaganda?

bad framing, no posing, bad distance/angle -> I wish there was a way my phone camera guided me for this.
Apathy is the opposite of love, not hate. A life of apathy, is a life without love.
I suspect that part of the worry aculture around parents being overprotective of kids today (at least in the west and the U.S. in particular) comes from exactly what you mention, a prevalece of single-child homes with no backup so to speak, vs increased worry in general.
Apple has made significant progress in terms of developing evil-maid-resistant systems.

"No system is secure when you have physical access" is one of those canards that was true ten or so years ago, but was not an iron law even then and has been falsified by recent developments. Kinda like "there's no such thing as unbreakable DRM" in an era when the Xbox DRM is indeed, for all intents and purposes, unbreakable.
Honestly, it's wild that the US hasn't invested heavily into green energy for the past couple of decades. They could've been in an extremely strong position of selling the tech which all countries need to transition their energy sectors. But instead they've ... fought it? And let China and other countries outside of their hegemony eat their lunch? Why?
I had the same doubt, but my understanding is that all the image processing takes place before the camera app gets the image feed.

Even with the OpenCamera app (which allows for manual focus control), I'm still getting the same quality of pictures on my GrapheneOS Pixel 7 Pro as with the stock OS and camera app.
For one, you could use ucsd pascal for free on mac so turbo pascal would have struggled to get traction among learners and hobbyists.

"Secret" is the clickbait, as it implies that there's some kind of subterfuge going on. The app isn't intentionally hidden as far as I can tell, so "preinstalled" would be far less sensational.

Any operating system distro is going to come with a bunch of stuff that you're not necessarily going to use; obviously it's less than ideal if distributions are being shipped with old junk that nobody uses, but it's hardly the crime of the century.
I guess the meaning is that defending already starts losing. It is much better to be in the offensive, it takes your enemy much more effort to go from defense to offense
You're right, but sometimes you gotta realise you're being trolled or the person you're arguing with is not arguing in good faith. Maybe that's what he meant.

Haha! I face the exact same issue.

But I can see differences between pictures (I like) vs pictures (everyone likes)

Have you done something to solve this issue? Learn the skill/use some apps?
My immediate reaction was that the appropriate word is "eros".

A variant of the Greek divisions is the one in CS Lewis's book "The Four Loves": affection, friendship, eros and charity.

I appreciate your comments.
I find it interesting though, that from that article that has one mention of relationships ("His belief in the importance of shared understanding is evident in his studies of friendship, where he described the harmony of goodwill and love between individuals."), amongst many others, this is what stuck with you ;)
I face the exact same issue.

In this context I'm trying to capture something like reasoning, λόγος.

Philosophy is also not about what we think is true, but what statements we can defend. Solipsism is a notoriously difficult position to attack, even if we do not subscribe to it.
If you can target (somewhat) modern browsers, then you can also use `gap` with Flexbox. Works great!

Even though I was a Google fanboy, this was a nail in the head. Had a .dev domain which expired and squarespace asked like 6 times more to let me buy it back. Waited till the grace period was over and bought it back for the original price from NameCheap.
USA has always been anti China because we perceive them as opposed to our (American) way of life. Whether it exists in reality or not, we view them as a communist dictatorship with no freedom and poor quality of life whereas we're the capitalist land of freedom. So China exists and grows by opposing American ideals and this scares Americans.
No I don't struggle.

The only issue when taking pics of people would be to make sure they are all smiling and have their eyes open and are looking at the camera. I take many pics in sequence.

If a photo comes out bad I go along with my day.

In the wise words of Chairman Mao:

Interesting! What more hacks you got?

There are many such low hanging hacks which I wish my camera guided me for or automatically did it for me.
When reading fast, we tend to read first/last letters and the 'pattern' of the whole word and not really read the spelling. In this case, Reticulum is not very common or a familiar word and most folks would first read (or rather 'see') the word 'rectum'!

So how did you capture the Black Ship? I would basically use a bunch of fire arrows from bow kobayas to set it on fire. Others would use a pair of Nanban trade ships on either side to do a double barrage at the same time. And then others go ham with a heavy bune fleet.

Which route did you go for?
Daily reminder: proprietary and commercial benchmarks compiled with who-knows-what compiler are a bad joke.
That’s a good point for things with certain kinds of specs, but it seems a hell of a lot more straightforward for the person who is writing an implementation to also be in a testing mindset (if only to be writing testable code)

Perhaps people in these environments are made of different stuff but touching both sides feels almost essential to me.
What about all the resources spent on building and razing messaging apps?
The common assumption is that their hands are tied on that matter.
There's definitely room to build specification builder agents, that have access to documentation and previous specifications.

The other day I was looking into adding Trusted Types in the Content-Security-Policy header, which was something new to me. In my chat with Claude I asked:

"Lets brainstorm 10 a list of ideas closely related to this so we can think of anything we might be missing on the topic to consider."

And that provided a good list of items to review to consider and expand out the sphere of thinking for the LLM.

It is an infuriatingly hard problem to have the LLM produce excellent results every single time, and have it just do everything and want it to read our mind and all the knowledge and context of a task. I think we'll make some good progress over the next few years as agentic workflows are built out to mimic out thought processes, and the cost/capability of the LLMs keeps improving.
but now you got to go learn that high level language, rather than use natural language you already know.
Free training data?
Back in 2004, Gruber introduced Markdown with this:

> I’ve written a text-to-HTML formatting tool called Markdown

... which kinda suggests to me it's meant to be rendered.

Markdown's major advantage is that it's (mostly) readable as plaintext (essentially a graceful degradation), but evidenced by how most tools using it render Markdown into HTML instead of showing it unrendered, it doesn't seem like people prefer reading it.
Nearly all x86 CPU architectures originate from desktop/server CPUs which had much higher thermal and power limits, but nearly all ARM CPU architectures originate from embedded CPUs where there are strict thermal and power limits.

It's not as if there's something fundamental with x86 that makes it use more power. There used to be the case that x86 CPUs had many more transistors (and thus more power usage and heat) due to the need to implement more instructions, but I don't believe this is the case anymore. I think right now is that its easier to scale up an architecture, than it is to scale down.

If you look at something like Project Denver, it started as a x86 compatible CPU that would of had ARM-like power usage.
This is a fair point. I imagine in a stricter environment you could (for example) have tests before implementations even to avoid huge feedback loops
No, it's when your soldiers run from the battle. That's your advisor informing you that you hired a bunch of cowards.
Honestly, I'm less and less inclined to believe in these numbers.

If your average Chinese person lives in a comfortable, well-built apartment that costs 1/4th of what it would cost in the US, drives a car that's similarly built but cost $10k instead of $40k, and eats food thats the quarter of the price, could you convincingly state that he has the quarter of the actual wealth, even though the numbers would indicate that.
For the next manager, perhaps, but the first guy gets a promotion for cost cutting and leaves for greener pastures before the shit hits the fan.
r/Finanzen is the german subreddit for money. Like any subreddit it develops into something of a cult with its own culture and lingo, but it could be helpful.
I say this as a person who does not follow news, after a decades long news addiction.

In its absence, there is no accountability pressure for any individual or organisational actor. It doesn't matter whether I as an individual know what's going on, nothing I can do anyway, but history is overflowing with societal change being forced to the surface through public scrutiny.

All kinds of horrible things happen when nobody has to look over their shoulder to see who's watching, and very obviously, the legal system is designed only to address escalations, not to generate them.
That statement is unintentionally factually accurate and clearly an attempt to make someone try to defend the despised enemy, which really proves my point. The Confederacy were obviously wrong on slavery but if they were right on something else then "Union media" would be the last place you'd find an objective account of it.
At first glance the word looks a lot like “rectum”.

You described the phenomenon much better than I would have.
The difference is in the chemical process not in the words we say. When you leave some veg in the fridge for too long and it turns black and mushy and eventually liquefies, that's rot.

When milk is fermented to make cheese the fermentation is short (around half an hour) and the result is a lowering of the milk pH to at most around 4.0 to 4.5 (from 5.5 to 6.5 of fresh milk depending on species). It's really not a big change and you can't tell just by sight or smell as with rotten food. Sometimes you can't even taste the change in pH because it's so small. The purpose of the fermentation is to create ideal acidity conditions for the rennet enzymes to work.

When rennet is added it causes some of the proteins in milk to coagulate. That's when milk becomes cheese. That's when fluid milk turns into a solid and it's exactly the opposite of what happens to food when it rots. Hard cheese will not rot even if you leave it for years. It just turns rock-hard and it's still edible through grating.

I don't know how cheese was first crated. We can speculate but we'll never know. I guess everything we eat today took some FAFO and YOLO to try out for the first time. I bet lots of people died before they figured out what mushrooms are safe to eat or at least sat for days on the (paleolithic) loo cursing under their breath.
There are plenty of people "practicing magic" even today that are fully convinced they are producing physical results through non-physical means. I would bet anything that there has always been a mix of both of these types of people, plus a huge array of charlatans.
If it hears what you hear, hears what you say, reads what you write, sees what you see, notes what you do, it will end up knowing more about you than you yourself. The way you can interact with it will be the same way others can interact with it.

Also, sensors like HRMs or activity monitors could give it insights into your emotional state.

It could replicate your reactions.
I should have mentioned this in the comments, that is exactly my point. It seems like "AI" at work here.
Giving full, unattended access to the internet to a 9 year old? Absolutely nothing. Parents should get a noble prize equivalent for solving "spend more time with your kid" problem.
Perhaps you could name some worker-managed companies under socialism that did well - for example, East German companies that subsequently managed to compete against their West German peers. I can think of one - Zeiss Jena - though I don't know how truly worker-managed it was. (For some reason, the East Germans were very expert at manufacturing lenses ...)
I wouldn't say NPR "leans left", rather that they "lean establishment". NPR has no sympathy at all for socialists, third party candidates, most protest movements, etc. Republicans just have too much political diversity and churn in their base in the last few decades to be anywhere near as uniform and cohesive a bloc and so the establishment usually appears at least superficially Democrat-biased.

Note: Local NPR programs are a lot better than national programs, IMO. There are two available NPR stations in my area, and they're really not similar at all except for a small overlap in programming.
You are born into a society with certain expectations and customs. Choosing the slow and simple path turns you into a social recluse with little opportunities for contacts and further development. You may be reading Plato and Aristotle and have no idea what's currently happening in your neighbourhood because of lack of social contacts.

The path to transformation should be the collective consensus towards new visions of society, not some individual acts of virtue signalling.
Do you mean you want to know how to implement those operations on the hardware level (transistors or logic gates), or that you just want to be able to do all those things by hand? Those are very different questions. I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "example processor."
Google can be more easily understood as a bunch of businesses that funnel traffic into an ad marketplace. Search, Android, GMail, Maps, Chrome, everything is just about having enough traffic and enough behavioral data to make them the biggest ad seller ever. But they are also the broker and price-setter. That's how they make money, not on the quality of their services --which OK, they have to maintain to a competitive standard: easy to do when you are printing money.

So, the solution is relatively simple: break off their ad marketplace business. Break off their ad display business. Let the funnels fend for themselves.
Apathy is the opposite of both love and hate (and several other things), because both of the latter require caring about a thing.

if the server was integral to the running of the service then yes, it makes sense to discontinue it when there's no more profit to be made.

However, increasingly more and more services which could've been an on-premises deployment become SAAS. This includes games (live services they call it). It is _designed_ to end, and designed to not be able to run locally.

Tell me who's the greedy one.

Encoding the human experience will probably get much better over time. They're already experimenting with audio and video interfaces. I saw some other products that combine fitbit like sensors with an LLM.

I don't know what the results of combining all that data with an LLM will look like, but I think recording our experience to be used by an AI will only get better.
Absolutely staggering. Google Domains complemented GCP perfectly and would make thanks to Cloud DNS a stellar seamless end-to-end integration. I'm in disbelief as to why they removed this crucial feature while at the same time going full in with GCP.

I could understand deprecating Google Domains for B2C, but for B2B?! What went through their heads?
This is for connecting an SBC to a laptop via one USB-c cable. The laptop emulates a display and sends kb/mouse events to the SBC.

No it is not besides the point. They are not supposed to ship a setup where physical access escalates to permanent spying with no warnings because they are promising things about devices not about an ecosystem's overall functionality to build any possible configuration.

Many people feel Google and Apple have ulterior motives, but that is an academic argument unless they abandon this motive, at that point they need to always ship rooted insecure boot phones for our ease of use.
Given that Python appears to be the new VB6/VBA (in terms of adoption by a non-SWE user base), IMO there's still a gap for a decent VB6-like RAD experience within the Python ecosystem.

"Might is Right" (https://ia803202.us.archive.org/0/items/might-is-right-by-ra...). Not as a way to form a personal philosophy, it's obviously not a book to build but to tear down. And in that regard it does it better and simpler than Nietzsche and with much less stupidity than Stirner, in my opinion.

I also find the writing style pretty attractive, same way that Magma's music can be "attractive".

I guess that Kaczynski's short manifesto could also change some lives, as it is pretty good (not without faults, though).
Indeed, if apathy is the absence of caring, and caring is part of both love and hate, then I don't think any of these are opposites of each other, they are merely things that can not co-exist.
