> the only nation that has ever exploited Greenland has been Denmark

While Denmark is by far the biggest colonial exploiter of Greenland (including genocidal ethnodemographic policies as late as the 1970s), it is by no means the only one. Other exploiters include Norway, who tried to annex East Greenland, Faroe Islands, who set up a failed factory in South Greenland, Iceland, who has been exploiting the fisheries around Greenland, and—the second worse offender—USA who set up an illegal military base in Pituffik, North Greenland, including forcefully relocating its residents to Qaanaaq, crash landing a bomber armed with a nuclear bomb, illegally using Greenland to transport nuclear bombs, polluting their surroundings, etc.

PS. what you are describing as neo-colonialism, is just plain old fashion colonialism. Neo-colonialism is already a defined term which does not involve annexing territories. In fact its defining feature is exploitation without direct territorial control. In my opinion I wish it wasn’t called neo-colonialism, as it sort of diminishes the true horrors of European colonialism, and is not offering any meaningful distinction from the standard exploitation of global capitalism and neo-liberalism.

PPS. It can be argued that Iceland’s and the Faroes’ exploitation of Greenland are neo-colonial in nature, as opposed to pure colonial, like Denmark’s, Norway’s and the USA’s.
Primary user of 5GHz band is weather radar service. Operators of that are universally fed up with interference caused by misconfigured wifi devices, so you should do everything you can as to not interfere with that if you do not want to get huge fine from your local equivalent of FCC (in most other bands you will get a friendly warning that you are doing something you should not be doing, in 5GHz the enforcement is often swift as the amount of violators simply does not leave them much of a capacity for friendly warnings).
It’s also for the web index they’re all building, I imagine. Lately I’ve been defaulting to web search via chatgpt instead of google, simply because google can’t find anything anymore, while chatgpt can even find discussions on GitHub issues that are relevant to me.

The "investigated and indicted by the FBI" that lead to nothing for the "law and order" candidate? Interesting that the "lawfair" candidate would have had the complete opposite outcome, had the laws been equally enforced.
Indeed, you're right - there was a multitude of products like that, and linked in libraries for managing databases.

That said, I'm not aware of anyone doing that with SQL before SQLite. Though I might well have missed some.
Well, it's to go do something more fulfilling. A book is more fulfilling than, say, doomscrolling. To lump them both into "media" misses that difference.

Just like you wouldn't lump tiktok comments and a thought-provoking book into "reading".

I just wanted a standard data exchange interface between my browser and my preferred password manager, so that my password manager didn't have to try to emulate a human being typing or pasting a password.

That way the password would only "live" in the password manager and wouldn't need to even be easily visible to me. I almost never care what the password actually is.

But it would still be a password so compatible with most sites as-is, and easily backed up and restored on new devices.
Unfortunately even though the scam is illegal nobody goes to jail for it.

It's unfortunate that there's no analog (I/Q) transmission built into the TI chips. They could make fairly useful SDR transceivers otherwise.
This reminds me of Ed hacking satellites in Cowboy Bebop. The thought of repurposing satellites which have been abandoned by their former operators is interesting and has more than a few possible causes of concern. I’m not sure if space law has advanced to the level of foreseeing space piracy.
The most common lock and key ergonomics that everyone is familiar with is the following:

1. You have a lock, you have a corresponding physical key. You can have more identical physical keys. All of them will unlock the lock. If you lose the physical key, you can call the locksmith to change the lock. Physical key is anonymous. Only you know which key unlocks which lock. If a random person finds your physical key on the street, they shouldn't be able to find their way to your lock to try and unlock it.

2. That's all well and good. Now, comes a magic key. That's your personal magic key. Any lock you are permitted to unlock, your magic key can unlock it. Any key you are not permitted to unlock, your magic key cannot unlock. Now, you can more than one magic key – where only some of the locks you are allowed to unlock can be unlocked by one magic key vs another.
And if you happen to lose your magic key, you can call your locksmith to cancel your magic key – actually, that's a keysmith than a locksmith!

3. Your magic key is still anonymous. Only you know which magic key can open which locks. A random person who finds your magic key shouldn't be able to find their way to all the locks it can unlock.

4. When you see a lock, you are prompted to insert a key. The prompt doesn't say which key. You try one of the magic keys have that you think should unlock it. If it happens to the wrong key, not a big deal. You just try another magic key you have, and if that's the correct key it will unlock it.

5. When you buy a new lock (sign-up), you decide which magic key you have that should be the one to unlock it. This pairing of the key to the lock is done simply by asking pair a key to the lock. You are not being told to use a specific vendor of magic keys. You are not being peddled only magic key vendor over another!

6. If you want to change the magic key paired to a lock, you can do so at anytime on your own as long as you are in possession of the current magic key.

7. And of course, you can have multiple magic keys paired to the lock, so that you can unlock with any of the keys.

8. When you use a key to unlock a lock, the lock can tell which paired key was used – you can give nicknames to the paired keys that the lock remembers. The lock will tell you which nicknamed keys were used to unlock it previously and when.

Here's where I think passkeys went awry. They became yet another platform war. The OSes and browsers are supposed to be neutral and provide an unobtrusive prompt for user to pair a key or use a key, that's it. And the user should invoke a keyring against that prompt. If the keyring provider has features – like portability or non-portability of keys etc that's unique to each key ring provider and as long as the user is comfortable with it, everyone should be good with it. The prompt needs to be unassuming. Today it is very assuming and that's the problem!
Their apis cost money, so you’d be giving them revenue by trying to do that?
> If you had two independent ALUs, my intuition is that you'd want to dispatch the instructions as AEBFCGDH, interleaving the two chains. But, if the two ALUs could feed each other, perhaps you'd actually want to leave it in ABCDEFGH order? Hmm.

Once the frontend has determined what the dependencies are between instructions, you no longer have a linear sequence of instructions being dispatched to execution units but a DAG, and with multiple instructions starting on the same clock cycle the execution order would be more like (AE)(BF)(CG)(DH) without any ordering between instructions in the same parenthesized group.

The reorder buffer in the CPU will be large enough to handle the compiler emitting either ABCDEFGH or AEBFCGDH, but the interleaved ordering is less likely to run into limitations of the instruction decoder (if this chunk of code isn't already in a decoded µop cache).

I've heard this bunk before, that if it was not for extortionate pricing in the US, medical R&D would grind to a halt. Putting aside for the moment how inflated drug prices are only a small element of US health industry problems, let's re-examine the claim:

"If you don't pay my exorbitant fee, I will cut the part of my business that you need most.. but leave other parts alone?" - pharma spends more on marketing than R&D [1], but the propaganda never says "drug marketing is only possible thanks to high US prices", or "dividends", it's always "research".

How about this - drug R&D is only possible by high public spending on research, which is only possible because governments save money on healthcare: "Study: Public funding made up 97-99% of the R&D cost of Oxford Astra-Zeneca vaccine" - https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/apr/15/oxfordastraz...

>only to find that somewhere else in the code, isAuthenticated was assigned an array

That isn't "moderately complex code", that's completely stupid code and you deserve the grief if you are willy-nilly setting a boolean as an array. Maybe learning the difference between a bool and an array is something you should have done earlier in your programming journey.

Also love how you assume I've never worked on "moderately complex code" as a slight on me, when I've been writing software for over 40 years - just because I don't do stupid shit like assigning an array to a boolean variable does not i dicate I've "never worked on moderately complex code". That's some kind of gatekeeping troll.

>any reasonable language

I'm really not sure how stupid you have to be to assign an array to isAuthenticated. No, it is not something I have ever done in any language, because I'm not an idiot. YMMV.

> This is the real source of the complaints,

The complaints come from people doing stupid shit to themselves. It was easily avoidable and they got mad at the language?? Should we blame the language for every stupid thing people do with it? Will you also blame English for letting you write an obviously stupid comment?

I’ve heard this story quite a few times but it’s always hearsay without anything concrete enough to even begin to verify. Given that one account of mine got perma-banned on YouTube (for violating the “impersonation rule” with a bunch of screen recordings set to private…) and it didn’t affect the rest of the account, I have to assume the story is fake.
For me, scarcity arguments based on "preferences" don't make a ton of sense, but I see your point.

I'd give even odds there will always be use cases for burnable fuels, and almost all vehicles use burnable fuels currently. Sure seems a shorter path to just pull CO2 out of the air and keep moving along as we always have, vs electrifying everything.

Wow. I didn't realize the narrative on the right had gotten this bad.

Did you forget that Reagan negotiated with Terrorist during an election to keep the hostage's hostage? To literally sabotage their freedom to tank Carter?

"kicking every other leader down for basic decisions they had to make for the good of their people"

So, all other leaders, face difficult decisions, but Carter, he has to be held to higher standard? His decisions were not "basic decisions they had to make"? But others were? Like all others were backed into a corner, but not Carter? Did you see my post, he inherited the mess.
> Should you be using a Meta headset while you're driving?

The Meta HUD glasses seem like they're definitely designed to be used while driving, and provide a safer way to access info like notifications than looking down at your iPhone. That isn't "Apple data and APIs" this is a notification that someone needs to display on their HUD.

Really, the fact that Apple doesn't want to allow this sort of thing pretty clearly demonstrates they're acting in bad faith.

I try to write doc comments for methods with contracts and it seems cursor/claude does a good job reading and testing those.

What sort of effort would it take to make an LLM training honeypot resulting in LLMs reliably spewing nonsense? Similar to the way Google once defined the search term "Santorum"?

Austalia is not in Europe.

My question was: realistiacally, which EU country would drop their rate to lower than the minimum 15%.

Most stay at above 20%.
Switzerland somehow balances own budget with lower VAT. I doubt any EU country can lower the VAT below the EU mininum of 15% and balance their budget
> I imagine these companies today are curing their data with LLMs, this stuff isn't going to do anything

The same LLMs tag are terrible at AI-generated-content detection? Randomly mangling words may be a trivially detectable strategy, so one should serve AI-scraper bots with LLM-generated doppelganger content instead. Even OpenAI gave up on its AI detection product

I have never used passkeys and don't know much about them, but isn't the main point that they're distinct per device?

If one syncs pass keys using a password manager, what benefit do they bring over passwords?

Markov chains are ancient in AI-years, and don't need a GPU.
AI continues to ruin the entire internet.
Most benchmarks contain a bunch of examples of a particular task - e.g., each example in an image classification benchmark is an image and its associated class. The approach for doing well on these types of benchmarks has historically been (1) train a large model with (2) lots of data.
However, each item in the ARC benchmark is totally unique task. The network is presented a handful of examples (questions and answers) of the unique task and is asked to complete one instance of the task.
Importantly, the tasks are a secret. The only way that models can “prepare” for ARC is by getting familiar with the public priors of the ARC tasks - e.g., the colored grid world.
As a result, ARC evaluates the ability of models to learn new tasks with limited data at test time. This is a thing humans do very well that models do not (at least up until now).

I think it would be reasonable for someone to own future performances of a piece based on a transcription they made for a year, or a couple of years. I don't think it's okay for them to own it until 70 years after their death. Given that the term is what it is, it is unreasonable for transcriptions to be covered by copyright. The two things are inseparable.
I generally agree, but many states don't have certificate-of-need rules blocking new imaging centers and those states don't seem to have significantly lower healthcare costs.

The most immediate bottleneck on producing more physicians is lack of federal government funding for residency programs. Every year there are students who graduate from medical school with an MD but are unable to practice medicine because they don't get matched to a residency program (some do get matched the following year). At one point the AMA lobbied Congress to limit the supply of doctors but some years back they reversed that position. So far Congress hasn't acted.

https://savegme.org/

The other thing we can do to increase the supply of providers is to rely more on physician assistants and nurse practitioners for primary care. There may be some reduction in care quality but it's good enough for routine treatments and patients will just have to accept that. Real physicians should be reserved for more complex cases.
One thing that makes soft sciences softer is that it is inherently more difficult to achieve the same statistical significance, due to both higher underlying variances and logistics of obtaining large samples. Publishing with higher p-values results in lower reproducibility by definition.

The problem with psychology is that despite the fact that the subject matter is inherently more difficult to study, researchers are forced into the same publish-or-perish system as biologists and mathematicians. A higher degree of skepticism towards new studies might technically be prejudice, but it’s certainly justified.
I wouldn't call that a sleight of hand. Surely better lossy compression can be trivially used to implement better lossless compression, and the latter is just much easier to quantify for a benchmark.
So sorry for your loss

Unless a substantial portion of the internet starts serving poisoned content to bots, that won’t solve the bandwidth problem. And even if a substantial portion of the internet would start poisoning, bots would likely just shift to disguising themselves so they can’t be identified as bots anymore. Which according to the article they already do now when they are being blocked.
