The UK and telecoms don't make a happy pairing - we always seem to do the wrong thing:

Dr Cochrane knew that Britain's tired copper network was insufficient: "In 1974 it was patently obvious that copper wire was unsuitable for digital communication in any form, and it could not afford the capacity we needed for the future."

He was asked to do a report on the UK's future of digital communication and what was needed to move forward.

"In 1979 I presented my results," he tells us, "and the conclusion was to forget about copper and get into fibre. So BT started a massive effort - that spanned in six years - involving thousands of people to both digitise the network and to put fibre everywhere. The country had more fibre per capita than any other nation.

"In 1986, I managed to get fibre to the home cheaper than copper and we started a programme where we built factories for manufacturing the system. By 1990, we had two factories, one in Ipswich and one in Birmingham, where were manufacturing components for systems to roll out to the local loop".

I must admit that when I first learnt git, I thought that the only way to correctly use git was to know the object model of git. I thought this was important because git is at the end a data manager and I then though that one should know the data model you are manipulating in order to manipulate it in correct way. In that respect, I always found git commands mostly intuitive.

Much later in my career I learnt that people were using git without even knowing anything about what a Merkle tree is and I must say I was extremely surprised. I'm not saying its good or bad, just describing my younger days.
I guess, it takes a lot of effort to do cross-medium adaptation. Personally I dropped the show mid-series because I have consumed similar stories (Kaiji, Liar's Game) so the show didn't sustain my interest. YMMV

That being said, I was thinking of the article when I wrote my comment, they should've featured Kaiji instead of Battle Royale since it's the main inspiration behind the show.

Carrying The Fire by Michael Collins is an excellent account of Apollo 11 from the perspective of the command module pilot. I've read it three times, it's a wonderful book, he's a very intelligent, capable and humble man.
Shackleton and his crew became something of a hero of mine after I read South and Endurance. Less so frok.a masculine perspective, but more of a fortitude thing. There is a certain triumph felt when we persevere through impossible odds, and ever since I've been attracted to a genre of stories that I loosely label as "Frozen Thrillers," where humans just have to deal with bad things happening in cold unforgiving environments.
It's still better than deliberately incompatible schemes, meaning you can't charge your small device from laptop charger.
With respect, literally the exact opposite is true. I think you're mistaking it with something else.
People who are these fans don't really use git. They use github subset of git. Hence, all these problems. In my experience, people who actually use git instead of github don't have these issues.
I read your sources, and one, as a user, I'll let these people sort out their drama among themselves, two, the security issues of the apps that are downloaded I think are way higher potentially than the ones in F-Droid in itself. With these considerations, F-droid is fine as a way of installing apps. Just as fine as any other technically imperfect service, business, or product that we use daily. In fact, I consider it higher than average in quality.
Apple never used Lightening for laptops. The market i'm talking about is phones.

> saying the market has moved on without them is silly

Given they've produced nearly 2 billion phones with Lightening and are still producing/selling £1000 phones with Lightening, i don't think it's silly to say the market moved on without them.
I don't believe they do. Maybe the documentation will tell you it must be, but in practice file names with broken UTF-16 can be created.
If you managed to figure out how to edit the Windows registry, you probably would also be able to figure out how to edit config files on Linux. Navigating to the correct paths can be done in any GUI file explorer and there are plenty of GUI Text editors. Most config files are also much better at self documenting than any part of the Windows registry.

I am not saying that you are wrong for liking what you like – it’s completely fine to be comfortable with the tools you are used to.

I just think it’s not an argument for what type of person would be comfortable with Linux.

I work in an environment all of Linux, macOS, and Windows are used (what ever the user prefers) and the people that „just want their Job done“ need an „IT person“ to figure out any configuration and complication for them independent of the OS used.

Are they? I learnt with Scratch from about four then moved to Python when I was about 9 (iirc), and I found the move pretty easy. There isn't much I would change about Python to make it better in that role, and there are plenty of online environments that do a great job of reducing the setup you need. The BASIC experience is now https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/editor-hello-wo... - are they really so different?

Plus, when you want to move onto slightly more complex projects you can just keep using Python and steadily adding to your knowledge.

E.g. I began with turtle, then something that showed who's in space using requests and an API, then a little chat app with sockets, then a full GUI chat app that pretended to be notepad so I could chat at school. Nowadays, I still sometimes write software in the same language that I first wrote print("Hello, world!") in.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great that you're making it. I just think that Python is already a great language coming from Scratch.
That sounds about right. I was working at the NSF in the late 80s, around when they were uniting all the scattered mini nets into Teh Interwebz, and I was trading emails with Finns. And BTW I was not trying to compete.
They are talking about the following, not ‘top’ surgery for trans men/boys:

https://www.plasticsurgery.org/news/press-releases/male-brea...

While the page is obviously not unbiased about the benefits of this surgery, you can infer from the number of patients included in just one study that it’s very common. Yet this particular irreversible surgery performed on children does not seem to be causing a moral panic.

The broader point, which I think you’ve not picked up on, is that most people are fine with gender affirming care for children as long as the children are cis - which is arguably a double standard.
The factor that comes to mind for me is genetic isolation, probably a much stronger factor. For instance, the Amish also have a famously higher incidence of Ellis-van Creveld syndrome than the general population.
As someone under civil law jurisdiction, I have a hard time parsing this:

> This isn't something for you to work out, it's something for you to clearly understand your legal obligations

Like, is it really impossible to "understand your legal obligations" without help from a lawyer? Is it supposed to be like that? Why? Are the laws explicitly written to be impossible to understand if you're not a lawyer?

I might have lucked out, but in the few instances where I had doubts, just reading the relevant code gave me all the advice I needed. They are written to be clear and unambiguous as much as possible - in effect, they're tedious and wordy but perfectly understandable. It's easy to recognize the complex or unclear parts because they really stand out from the rest - and that's when you ask a lawyer.

Of course, if there's a significant penalty or otherwise stakes are high, consulting with a lawyer is a good idea. But the notion of "the people" only ever interacting with "the law" through intermediaries is... strange? Then again, you don't generally risk being shot in the head for arguing with a policeman here, which might or might not be a separate issue.
As I said, the description isn't clear about whether the regulation entity is a party to it, or is what is being shared in it (I think the clarification suggests I was right).

You, Brooke Shields, can share your information with your boyfriend, Tom Cruise, about who you see for your anti-depressants: the amount, name of the doctor, dosage. You can even use a random app developed by some Joe Dev installed through f-droid as an APK with data stored in North Korean data centers (does North Korea have data centers?). The world is yours.
Not at all, otherwise there would have been a dearth of club culture after Acid House and the Electronic Music Acts in the UK. Instead you got the Hacienda and the emergence of Balearic Trance, transforming the UK Northern Soul scene overnight.

You go see older commercial acts in the harder styles (Mauro Picotto, Jeff Mills, Richie Hawtin) and you'll see just how old and how hard those crowds go. The younger crowds tend to go more Business Techno or BoilerRoom madness - Amelie Lens, Charlotte de Witte to FredAgain/Overmono.

That said there is a noticeable difference between the infantilised and hyper-commercial 'PLUR-fest' nonsense in the US - focusing on kandi and costumes last seen in the happy hardcore scene in Europe 30 years ago. It's in stark contrast to the standard European Electronic music festival circuit and dedicated warehouse venues which definitely skew older.

I'd also highlight the average age of a 'raver' in Berlin is about 8 years older than that of a 'US' one. Average age to have a kid in Ireland is about 35. In the US it's 27. That goes a long way towards maintaining a scene!
Upvoted, and I wish I could upvote you twice. Because I did commit a logical fallacy.

Oh I'm with you on that. I think it was a great improvement to get Thunderbolt over USB-C on iPhone Pros.

I just think it's a mistake to talk about the very latest Thunderbolt 5's bandwidth vs legacy Lightning as if Apple were still promoting it.

It's like comparing Thunderbolt 5 to Firewire.
I think they mean "USB4 Version2" when it clearly isn't "version 2" but "version 5" or whatever.
Well, no, no physical square, no matter how precisely its sides are 1m long has an irrational-lenght diagonal. That is simply impossible in the physical universe because the universe is discrete at this level. Irrational numbers are impossible in discrete context. The whole point they were invented is to capture the idea of continuous functions or continuous number line. But this is a "slight of hand", a definition that's made for convenience of solving useful problems, but isn't based in the physical reality. In a very similar way to how sqrt(-1) is not a thing in a physical reality, but it's useful to work with problems that can be described using complex numbers.

> There is nothing more special about sqrt(2) than about 1

That fact that you don't understand what's special about it doesn't mean there isn't. It's a very different thing though.

> All of our drawings and constructions are approximations

Drawings: yes. Constructions: no.

> but that doesn't make them naturally be integers or rationals any more than they are irrational.

Here you've ventured into the territory you have no idea about... I'm sorry. You sound more like some LLM-generated gibberish here than anything a human with any expertise on the subject would write. Of course some things are naturally integers. We've invented integers to capture those things (in the physical universe). Similarly, rationals. There's nothing in the physical universe that's irrational in the same way how it can be an integer or a rational. Irrational numbers don't describe quantities or passage of time or forces acting on physical objects or the speed etc. because all those things are made up of small indivisible parts, and there's always a finite computable answer to how big something is, how long a process would take, how strong is the force applied to an object etc.

Irrational numbers are a mathematical device to deal with different kinds of problems. Similar to how generating functions use "+" to mean a completely different thing from how it's used in algebra, or how it's used in regular languages, so are irrational called "numbers". But they aren't the same kind of thing as integers or rationals. To be honest, it would've been better not to call them "numbers" at all, to avoid this kind of confusion, but mathematics has a lot of old and bad terminology that's used due to tradition.

> elementary particles travel in perfectly straight lines and radiate in perfect circles in our models

The root of your problem in understanding this is: our models. Particles don't radiate in perfect circles in reality. Physical reality is discrete and cannot create perfect circles. You can imagine, however, a perfect circle and use it to a great effect to estimate the result of some physical process. But, if you truly measure the effect, you will never have an irrational number. There's no physical process of measuring anything that will end up with an irrational answer. That's simply impossible.

That didn't have anything to do with the mechanism at play here. The "bush hid the facts" example interfered with the unicode detection mechanism (IsTextUnicode) built into Notepad itself. If it just defaulted to the current code page, it wouldn't have had this problem, but because IsTextUnicode misdetects various word length sequences, it needlessly converted the file from ASCII into UTF-16LE, which would often produce Chinese characters by chance.

You mention the example of romance novels above.

There's a schlocky Victorian pulp novel that's of no use to anyone - except that it happens to contain a fantastically detailed description of an abandoned saltings in my hometown that nobody ever thought to record in any way. For me, those two paragraphs are gold.

If the novel hadn't been digitised as part of Google's Books Archive Project, I wouldn't have been able to find those two paragraphs. Digitisation not only creates backups, it enables completely new ways of interacting with those texts (eg Google's Ngram Viewer).

Even better if you have the hardware/bandwidth, setup a wireguard vpn and use adblocking on your home network. Then all your stuff is at least mildly encrypted while out and about, plus you get robust adblocking protection.

This also has the added benefit of encrypting DNS if you set that up. It's all relatively easy to setup. If your hardware is running linux there are simple configuration scripts you can run to get everything going in 5 minutes or so.

Just because you (think you) committed a logical fallacy doesn't mean you're wrong.

You can do, or think, the right things for the wrong reasons, even illogical ones.
No one is objecting to knowledge preservation - when you just preserve it instead of abundantly replicating it with a wink.

Reasonable people are objecting to copyright law violation, for the simple reason that it disincentivizes further knowledge creation.

Even more reasonable people are objecting to weaponizing copyright law violation on behalf of the vilest dictatorship on the planet.
> If someone is operating or changing settings on your baby monitor, doorbell camera, garage door opener, smart switch, light bulb, etc -- the developer should check to make sure that the actor doing so is authorized to do it.

There is a well-established pattern for this that's as old as humanity itself: if you can physically reach the device, you can operate the device. Security is established by the fact that you have to be authenticated and authorized to be in the same room as the device, and if extra security is needed, then various social, physical and digital forms of keys and interlocks exist.

This naturally extends itself to operating networked[0] devices too - if you can get on LAN, you can access them. Yes, I know this doesn't exactly fly in an office, but see the keys&interlocks stuff above. And despite what security people would say, you don't need anything more than that for home (or even SMB) use. Your IoT lightbulb does not need bank-level[1] security[2].

Nor does your non-Internet connected lightbulb or fridge. Which is kind of the other point I wanted to make: non-networked devices neither need nor should go beyond the centuries-old "can reach it = can use it, +/- social norms" pattern; this means we also need to actively discourage the problem-pattern that's common today, and goes like this:

1) Connecting a device to Internet for dubious, often user-hostile reasons, then

2) Bringing up NIST security requirements and implementing them, then

3) Turning around and using all that security work to justify the Internet connection.

No, your device does not need automatic OTA updates. That's just sleight of hand - what it actually needs is to not be connected to your servers in the first place - then all the security requirements are no longer requirements.

I in IoT is bullshit 99% of the time, remaining 1% of the time it should be handled by a VPN - or even a Home Assistant instance, since 100% of IoT apps are bullshit and are better replaced with Home Assistant app + whatever vendor integration for HA the community hacked up in their free time.

[2] - Almost nothing does; we're currently dealing with runaway over-securing of everything digital, because everyone and their dog thinks their app is Special and their service is Important. News flash: it isn't. All this is doing is making software and hardware more annoying to use and footgun-rich - and of course entrenching the adtech surveillance business model.
Several generations grew up without the habit of using seat belts. It shouldn't be surprising that they didn't really ever start using them.
This sentiment misses the point. It's not that Linux is not capable - it's plenty capable, and has been for decades now. It's that support for it is lacking. The lack of support makes Linux look bad, because, from the perspective of the end user, it doesn't matter who actually is responsible for the failure of something. If negative experience comes after installing X, then surely X is to blame, right? Wrong, as we both know, but this is the experience that needs to be managed, in order to make Linux successful. Entities who managed this experience made commercially successful Linuxes - Red Hat, Canonical, Google, and Steam as well.
That's my problem with a lot of the literature on building successful businesses. They all seem to be offering a white glove path and don't talk about all the tactics ranging from shady to downright illegal that helped many of the biggest companies today to be where they are now.

> it does so with no consideration of worldly facts

Why don't you consider its training set (usually the entire internet, basically) worldly facts? It's true that the training set can contain contradictory facts, but usually an LLM can recognize these contradictions and provide analysis of the different viewpoints. I don't see how this is much different from what humans can do with documents.

The difference is that humans can do their own experiments and observations in the real world to verify or dismiss things they read. Providing an LLM with tools can, in a limited way, allow an LLM to do the same.

Ultimately its knowledge is limited by its training set and the 'external' observations it can make, but this is true of all agents, no?
Amazing results! Beating AutoML with single model is not easy :)

Could you please explain like I'm five what is doing a trick? You have model pre-trained on large set of small datasets and you leverage it to boost performance?

Training is fast, few seconds, but what is time needed to compute predictions?

How large is the model?

Nope :-), just a normal citizen, but sometimes I am curious enough to look up a law, plus sometimes I need to refer to/look up some law in my day job as a civil engineer, too.

When you need to do that, it's not too hard to stumble upon the existence of that page through some web searches, plus the German Wikipedia often links to that page, too (as well as to some alternative platforms run by private entities, which sometimes provide some added value, e.g. buzer.de provides change history since 2006, too, other pages link relevant court decisions, etc. etc. – but gesetze-im-internet.de is the official page run by the federal government itself).
