Have to confess reading this, and the linked page that claims to demonstrate the language but does no such thing, gave me a real "person struggling with mental illness" kind of vibe. Slight overtones of TempleOS type of thinking, a certain, uh, _grandiosity_. No surprise then that a large section of the blog is devoted to bipolar disorder.
Yeah - The thing though is, you could build the same thing better in a day's work by using OpenAI's API, or Gemini's for that matter.

I wonder if there isn't a deeper, more worrying (for Google) reason behind that - that AI is killing their margin.

Google has always been about delivering top notch services, and winning by being able to do that cheaper than the competition.

It's "in their DNA" - everyone knows that using links to a website as a quality signal was a really good idea in the early days of Google, but what's a little less well known is that the true stroke of genius was the algorithmic efficiency of PageRank.

Similarly for GMail. Remember when it launched, 1 GB of free storage was just completely out of every competitor's league?

It may just be that this recipe of being smarter than everyone on algorithms and on datacenter operations might just not work anymore in the age of modern machine learning.

Professional Clojure dev for some time. Here is what prevents me from using Datomic.

- no Docker image; still distributed as a tarball. Although com.datomic/local exists, it only provides the Client API, so it's mostly suited towards mocking Datomic Cloud.

- Datomic Cloud is designed around AWS; applications wanting to use Datomic Cloud must also design themselves around AWS

- Datomic On-Prem does not scale the same way Datomic Cloud does (e.g. every database has an in-memory index; the transactor and *all peers* need to keep them all in-memory)

- No query planner whatsoever. In databases like XTDB, the order of :where clauses doesn't matter since the engine is able to optimize them. In Datomic, swapping two :where clauses can transform a 10ms query into a 10s query.

In addition to the above four points, I strongly believe the following points prevent others from using Datomic.

- Writing Datomic queries outside of Clojure (e.g. Java) requires writing everything in strings, which feels awful no matter what.

- If you are not using a JVM-based language, then there is no choice but the REST API for interaction. The REST API is orders of magnitude slower than the official Clojure and Java clients.

- Too many tooling exists around the pgwire protocol and various dialects of SQL. Datomic obviously does not fit into either of these categories of tooling.

- Applications like DBeaver do not support Datomic at all. The best you can do is access the datomic_kvs table from a database using JDBC storage engine.

Like other commenters I used Game Maker 20 or so years ago and not only made games but also programmed little utilities to solve problems at my Dad’s work. It was a phenomenal blank canvas for creating games and programs and learning to program (because there’s both Scratch-style drag and drop programming, and a programming language).

That depends on the usage pattern. To give you a totally different way to use Firefox: I use it both on desktop (Linux) and on mobile (Android, multiple devices.) I don't ever close it. I close it to update or to reboot my computer. On desktop it's configured to restart with the previously opened tabs and windows (one per customer, each one on its virtual desktop, one for me.) I don't sync tabs because way more than half of the tabs on my desktop Firefox are related to work, some localhost, some reachable only on a VPN. Furthermore it's no business of Mozilla or anybody else to see my tabs go through their servers, E2E encryption or not. I never used any browser internal password manager because (any other considerations apart) what happens when I want to access a site from another browser? Maybe from Chrome, and I used Opera and Vivaldi as secondary browsers many years ago. I store my passwords in one of the various Keepass apps, sync from desktop to mobile with syncthing and I'm happy.

Firefox as browser-only browser is perfectly good for me. The surrounding UI is almost transparent to me, as if it did not exist.

The only point of contact between your and mine experiences are the bookmarks on mobile. I don't use them. I pin the sites I use most on the page that opens when pressing the new tab button and those are my bookmarks. Unfortunately there are only 16 possible pinned sites there but I'm not even using all of them. Most of the times I tap the URL bar, type one or two letters and Firefox autocompletes the sites I want to see. Example: I tap n and it suggests news.ycombinator.com. Faster than any bookmarks menu.

Anyway. If most users follow your workflow, Mozilla are not doing a good job. If most users follow my workflow, they are wasting a lot of engineering time in features we don't use. IMHO Firefox users are mostly power users so I think there are at least ten different workflows competing for the top spot and whatever Mozilla does people will be mostly upset. It's not an easy place to be.

> Why? There is nothing preventing an ISP from saying that from date X, only protocols A, B and C are supported. If you want to use your own device, make sure it supports these protocols.

A lot of overhead for ISP support in those cases in which a customer knows they can buy any router with any ONT, plugs it and forgets it without zero knowledge of what a protocol even is.

> Academic CS values abstract results over concrete results, because real-world systems change too rapidly. Real-world results tend to become obsolete too quickly to be relevant in the time scales the academia is supposed to operate.

This isn't true. When I'm implementing a paper, I usually go for JUST implementing what they describe, usually by hand. Like if it is a new SQL syntax, I will write a custom recursive descent parser, and hand-roll the query planner, for just the new stuff and hard code some other parts, just as a demonstration. I'm not interested in the industry application part, I'm interested in replicating their work. Once I can replicate it, assuming it is correct, then I will factor the work into a production system.

It's this first part that I am frustrated with, not the full implementation in production software.
So the argument of whether this increases or decreases entropy goes both ways:

1. Requiring certain characters is a limit on which characters are selected. An attacker now knows to look for at least one digit, upper case char, and one of 10 special chars. This is a smaller selection of characters than the whole of all characters that were available before, so it decreases entropy.

2. Most users choose weak simple passwords with low entropy. Requiring users to use some characters that they wouldn't otherwise increases the entropy as it increases the selection of characters in the password.

I actually don't believe 2, as most users will just start with an upper case char and end with 1!, so the entropy will still decrease for most users, as they will choose easily guessable placements for these required chars.

The flag ship stores, the Harrods, the Harvey Nichols might fit the high-end description but the ones that have gone, the Debenhams, C&A, BHS etc. did not.

A lot of the "branded" goods were more like the first OP said - just a print or a label with some credibility like Levis, Diesel, Calvin Klein, Armani but on indifferent quality stuff you would never see in a high-end store from the same brand - likely from the same factories filling up super-market own brands but at 1/5 the price.

The sales were also a very big thing, especially the big dates like Boxing Day, New Years or Easter - it was a common habit to only buy clothes once a year. All those sales got gamed though, they would ship-in special tat to put on rails at 70% off for Dec 26th rather than actually discount their products and then they started before Christmas, and then from "Black Friday" and then from before "Black Friday"...

Yet I still miss them too. I hate fashion/shopping but clothes are sensual, they rest against the skin for years and the difference between good and bad is materials, craftsmanship and fit whereas an online jpg of a black t-shirt and a review of "my husband says it's ok" really tells me nothing at all. I find online browsing, deliveries and returns more time-consuming and stressful than a rare shopping trip.

Thanks a lot! Yes, I believe this dynamic pricing is making it impossible for small or non-profit projects to host maps. And you can see, "fun" maps basically disappeared from the internet - they were really common 10 years ago!

For POIs, they are present in the data, it's just that the styles might not have the matching icons for them. But you can always make them into a circle, etc.

Having said that, working on the styles is a big and never ending effort, so if someone would like to help with matching the POIs then contributors welcome.

That is interesting! Thanks for pointing out the bracket shape.

As B612 was designed for aircraft cockpit displays, I wonder if the brackets are squared like that to ensure “()” won’t be mistaken for “O” or “(“ for “C”?

When the work environment involves glancing at and scanning flight related data in a multi-screen cockpit, I can imagine that clarifying that sort of ambiguity is more important than ensuring brackets are immediately distinguishable – as opposed to what I’d want in programming.

KPN and other Dutch ISPs don't really care about custom customer hardware, on a practical level and on a contractual level. The Dutch standard is that you use the rented hardware your ISP provides, unless you want something special, then you get specs and settings and you're on your own. Even if you use your own hardware, you often still get a modem delivered to your doorstep.

If anything breaks on the network side, the troubleshooting procedure is "connect the hardware we sent you and see if it works". If it does, it's up to you to fix your side. If that requires new hardware, you're kind of screwed. KPN has the obligation to permit you to run your own hardware and to provide you with the information necessary, but not to keep any kind of backwards compatibility.

(Euro)DOCSIS should be backwards compatible, but things like radio channels and unencrypted video signals have already been replaced by their digital equivalents to add more upstream capacity by Ziggo (the last remaining large Dutch cable company). This broke functionality for a whole bunch of devices, but these changes were announced months in advance so customers had to choose between ending their contract and taking it.

The trouble with dealing with KPN is that KPN is also the company operating the POPs in most places, with many other ISPs leasing their lines. So even if you switch to a different ISP in protest of the XGS-PON switch, you're very likely to still end up with a XGS-PON signal from KPN.
>The social web was blogs.

The social web was mailing lists: a common meeting place for anyone to communicate near-instantly to anyone else that was also interested in the same thing.

The web came along later and made it prettier. But the social web is a soulful concept, not a mechanical one. It doesn't matter what technology was used - as long as people had the purpose and intention to communicate with each other on a common subject, there was a social web of interconnected minds.

Technology cannot detoxify social media. Only ethics can, and we humans have very little in the way of tools to maintain a solid basis of ethics, besides ourselves.

They'd have to be aware because people have gotten wary of anything new from the company, due to the fears it'll be killed in a year or two. That's not a huge issue right now (since Search, YouTube, Maps, Gmail, Android, Chrome, Docs, etc are huge), but it does make it more difficult for them to compete if the technological landscape changes and leaves them behind.

For example, if AI/VR/neural implants/something else* completely shake up the computing landscape (and traditional search engines start to fall into irrelevancy), will people trust Google to be the provider for these things? Or will they look at their history of quickly killing products, and choose a competitor who might be in it for the long haul?

* Given some of these fields are already dominated by Google's competitors/other FAANG level companies, that already be a bad sign.
Slightly adjusting intonation is no problem at all for trained wind players, "played with no pitch adjustments via embouchure" is just not something that happens. Much less difficult to learn than learning to play the violin at all, if Quartesixte's description is anything to go by. Not being able to play all 12 notes with natural tones does not in any way result in a lack of versatility for wind instruments in a modern orchestra setting.

PS woodwinds aren't "always in equal temperament" either, the player has to adjust for tuning compromises in these instruments as well. Not that being in equal temperament is even something an orchestra aims for.
On a unrelated note, could IA be charging companies training AI for access to an API with all thier data, or a enormous data dump?

As a regular orquestral concert goer (I would say I average a concert a week per year at least) reading your description of the tuning process gave me goosebumps.

It really is one of the best sounds on the world! The tension! The anticipation! And then seeing and hearing a well rehearsed group of people move from casual conversation mode into serious business mode in a few seconds. And from chaos comes order. And then the silence, only broken by the applause when the maestro and soloist(s) arrive.

One of life's biggest pleasures if I may say so.
What I'd like to see managing expectations towards the new product well before anything started, considering resource (time, money, workforce, etc.) limitations.

And not going for the shiny things do not fit!

Because limitations are everywhere. Ok, software engineers like to pride themselves in the ability to do anything and everything (not as much as salesguys of course) but this stems from the ninja attitude towards technology and forgetting other dimensions of reality. Should only attempt managable goals on all necessary levels.

I am still waiting for place where this is achieved...
It is amazing to think that so much of food waste is simply thrown into a landfill when it could actually be used for refertilising soil. but I do know of instances where people have actually bought food waste - including vegetable and fruit waste, from agricultural markets to put into their farms. However this is quite rare.

Something else which is wasted a lot of silt from the bottom of lakes, ponds, rivers etc. Often it is not sold to farms.

However, again, I do know of a single instance when a small reservoir was desilted by farmers in collaboration with the government. The government gave the farmers the permit to take away the silt for free if they made their transport arrangement to take the silt away and also if they worked with the government on the desilting work.

This enabled the government to get the desilting work done for free while the farmers benefited from getting high quality soil for their farms.

I don't see much issue with using the term in the sense defined by the W3C[0], particuarly for a group developing technology around that definition. It doesn't mean the term can't also have a broader/colloquial meaning (web that is social). Same with the semantic web.

Maybe this hostility towards their use of the term stems largely from already being in a position of resentment towards them? It seems disproportionate to me when as far as I can tell it's a non-profit group with positive goals, and I've heard positive things of those involved, but maybe I'm missing some reason to hate them?
