Yes, in just about every large city across the world, including Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas, especially in cities, and newer parts of older cities, that were developed since the 1950s. It still influences contemporary architecture and city layout, though today maybe it's less deliberate (i.e. artistic, conceptual) and more a consequence of car culture and not wanting to crowd tall skyscrapers. So you just turn all the empty space between skyscrapers into "park", which almost invariably becomes desolate green space. It's the status quo even though the original concept has become largely discredited (or at least lacking for advocates) among the urban planning crowd and, to a lesser extent, architects (the effect frames their buildings as monoliths, easier to be admired as signature pieces).

It originates with Le Corbusier and his Radiant City concept from the 1930s. See https://99percentinvisible.org/article/ville-radieuse-le-cor.... The influences quickly spread through Europe and North America before exploding everywhere post WWII. There are several Wikipedia pages about Le Corbusiers, including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ville_Radieuse but in a simple search I couldn't find one that gives a good overview of how influential it actually was. A lot academic urban planning literature discusses it. OTOH, the idea of less crowding long predated Le Corbusiers, and his vision may have been inevitable, but it was Le Corbusiers who packaged it up into a comprehensive concept, which helped the practice to spread much more rapidly and uniformly around the world.
Yeah this is tiresome.

I understand that historically it was 16 2/3 Hz and power transfer from to the 50 Hz grid was done via 1:3 mechanical coupling with a motor and generator. That was a ratio easily achievable with gears.

Nowadays with switched power supplies, this is not a problem any more. Keeping track of 16.7 Hz seems a little easier. Imagine building a numeric display for a power plant operator to see how far off you are.

Yes, of course.

It's quite possible that judges realize that if they restrict training data to licensed materials, LLMs will become stupid and China will overtake the US to become the leader in AI, and because that can't happen, they'll make up some reason to make training on unlicensed data legal. It's definitely fair use!

I'm not even joking. Last time the US Supreme Court basically said "Android is too important, we have to declare its use of Java API fair use."

Abstraction can be learned with purpose, eg if they want to program physical movement in a game, X and y need to be variables, not because we are just using abstraction for the fun of it. Even proofs can have meaning and purpose if you can show how they are useful. Algebra, calculus, liberal algebra at least, all make more sense (and easier to accept by new learners) when you actually use them to do something.
For the overwhelming majority of people just becoming a permanent resident is more than enough - there's not a strong need to become a Japanese citizen vs. permanent residency outside of the right to vote, and for overwhelming majority, the trade-off isn't worth it.

But Japan is not a particularly difficult country to naturalize in if you so desire. The N1 can be studied for and passed without being fluent. Supporting yourself financially basically means having roughly full-time employment. No idea where you got the idea you need to be married to a Japanese citizen, not true at all.
Considering that the only tool that humans have to manage AI is the mathematical guarantee of both practically unbreakable and even theoretically unbreakable encryption maths alongside the inherent safety of an ecosystem of human enslaved AIs (or whatever nicer way there is to say that), then this is by default the most dangerous worst possible action a government could initiate towards destroying AI safety at both an individual and "ecosystem"-wide level.

This is not my opinion, this is just logic.

My opinion on this is that these people are f***g retarded.

As a 14 year old in 1998, I was the sole computer user in my family and my parents wouldn't let me have internet access. Of course, that didn't stop me and I used ad-supported free ISPs like K-mart Blue Light (yes, K-Mart had an internet service!) and Freeinet to dial in when my parents were asleep and download files from Hotline. I used ResEdit to hack the client binary and make the ad windows minimizable :)

What a thrill it was to connect to a fast server and download the blazing speed at 3KB/s.

Getting access to a new Hotline server could be involved. Some came with instructions to visit a set of web pages (each with ads), copy a specific letter from each site and put them all together to get the server password.

Once you were in the server, you never knew what you would find. Hotline is where I downloaded a lot of warez (like adobe products) but some servers had really strange and NSFW stuff - including the first snuff type images I had encountered.

At some point, my parents would get clues that I something was "wrong" with their phone lines. Call waiting didn't work with modems so incoming calls wouldn't come through, and word got back about the issues. Luckily I was able to buy a product called "Catch a Call" which sat between the phone line and your modem, and when an incoming call was detected it would ring, and I would rip the cord out of the computer to let the house phone ring.

I started going online more often while my parents were awake and I would just listen for them to hit the "talk" button on the 900MHz wireless handset and rip the phone cord out of my iMac as fast as I could so they wouldn't hear the modem noise through the phone. Sometimes when I wasn't fast enough, my mom would yell "Jer! Something's wrong with the phone!" and I would walk out, hit a few buttons to pretend I was fixing it, and hand it back (my mom would usually thank me for helping). She passed away a few weeks ago... I never told her about this deceit.

Eventually around 2000/2001 they got a cable modem and life with broadband was very sweet.
In Copenhagen you could reasonably plan to go from the central station to, say, Høje Taastrup, but fall asleep and end up in Aalborg 5 hours and 400km away.

Høje Taastrup is a large suburb at the edge of Copenhagen, and the end of an S-train line, but anyone who lives there will know an intercity train is faster. Trains to Aalborg stopping at Høje Taastrup leave at 00:50 and at 02:50 tonight. The other suitable intercity and regional trains overnight are to nearer places, 150km or so.

I'm not sure that's as true as it once was. All the major networks now have significant shop window space dedicated to SIM Only products for people keeping their existing phone. There is even a thriving ecosystem of SIM only network resellers - GiffGaff, Lebara, Smarty, 1pmobile, etc.

There will always be customers who upgrade every 18-24 months, but as flagship phones have become more expensive and the features more evolutionary (e.g. slightly better camera, slightly better screen), I think fewer people see the value than in the past.
100GB of storage is… not much for 1000 users. A 1TB NVMe SSD is $60. So 100GB is a total of $6 of storage… or about half a penny per user.

And that’s for SSD storage… an enterprise-grade 14TB hard drive is only $18/TB on Amazon right now, less than a third of the SSD price per TB. Call it 100GB = $2 of storage, total, to enable 1000 users to run the editor of their choice.

So, no, I’m not seeing the problem here.

If you really wanted to penny pinch (one whole penny for every 5 users), I think you could use btrfs deduplication to reduce the storage used.

We're talking about schools with multi-billion dollar endowments, new sports stadiums, branded new facilities, fat tuition fees from international students and a ton of pet projects by the university.

But no, the NIH needs to "subsidize" general fund through NIH grants?

> The university is free to spend them as it sees fit, rather than according to what some big important outsider says.

That's fine, but let's not pervert the research funding mechanism by puffing up indirect costs to pay for things that have nothing to do with research.

That seems reasonable to me?
The best solution that people mention is to fill your testing requirements with prohibited language. Example:

Not true though!

In Italian, corporativismo has a distinct meaning that is unrelated to the concept of commercial corporations. It refers to a system of collaboration between social groups, represented through joint associations of employers and workers. Essentially, it is a state-aligned alternative to independent trade unions, a "national syndicalism" of sorts.

Muskotrumpia may excel in performance-based state capture, but fascism it is not. The anti-state culture of the U.S. clashes with the "everything for the state" ethos that defines fascism. We're simply entering textbook Caesarism territory.

rust utilizes various methods at compile time which significantly increases compute, such as compiler is optimised for memory safety, which causes it do a lot of tasks and changes at compile time unlike C and inturn during execution to ensure ms, which could easily be avoided, it is good for overflow situations but in terms of compute required in exchange for the program is simply(currently) not at the level that would be great to have in Linux kernel, in a few years maybe

> It's a failure of leadership to not intervene when discord threatens the group. He should weigh in, or make sure that someone else who has mutual trust weighs in.

Nothing in that particular "drama" threatens Linux kernel maintainers as a group. Multiple solutions were proposed, like just sending the change directly to Linus bypassing Hellwig or copy/pasting the code to each individual driver for now. Marcan having public meltdown in that thread probably makes option 1 no-go though and doesn't improve R4L standing with the skeptical group of maintainers.

> In youth sports, something similar happens when referees fail to call fouls on rough play. Players naturally test the limits and then others recognize the lack of protection and retaliate until it gets really out of hand.

For better or worse the social contract in LKLM is not like what a lot of Rust people used to where you come in with furry avatar and pronouns in your profile, then cry for mommy to enforce CoC on first signs of conflict. Basically, extending your analogy, you don't come to an American football match expecting the referee to enforce basketball no-contact rules.

Where is the Remote SSH extension code? I always thought that was closed source?

Edit: The reason I think it is closed source is because a StackOverflow answer says so[1]. I’d be very interested in seeing the code if you could link to its repo!

[a-z] is a semantically equivalent regex to a|b|..|z, but the two are not equivalent syntactic forms.

Distinct syntactic forms can be given distinct semantics, as long as there is rhyme and reason.

Moreover, the right side of the colon is not the normal regex language, it only borrows its syntax. So there, we may be justified in denying that the usual equivalence holds between character class syntax and a disjunction of the symbols denoted by the class.
In my experience it's the opposite - the email patch usually gets dealt with within a week or two, Firefox and Chromium dragged out because it wasn't whatever Mozilla or Google prioritized right now. Or worse, it might go against an internal corporate KPI.

In Firefox you have to fiddle with Mercurial, phabricator, and their homegrown CI. In Chromium its Gerrit and their homegrown CI, and oh btw you touched code that lacked tests so tag, you're it.
wow, that's great, I'll be in touch. Thank you
The remote development extensions don't appear to be open-source. The marketplace page for the "Remote - SSH" extension will point you to a license that says, among other things, "You may not: work around any technical limitations in the software;".
The same page brings you to a github repo for the extension that contains no source code; it claims to be for gathering feedback only.
I don't know how you can imply everything about this is open source, maybe I'm not looking in the right place?
Nah, it's not a hypothecated tax. It all goes into the general fund. Same for vehicle tax.

In my (mostly uninformed) opinion, a lot of road maintenance was outsourced to the private sector on long (like 20+ years) contracts in the 2000s (2004 for 25 years in my town). Predictable result is predictable.

1997-1998 was about the time I first installed Linux (slackware) from a stack of 3.5" floppy disks. By then, Linux had picked up enough momentum, which is why, I guess, you and I both had access to CD/floppy installation methods.

The folklore around the Linux/Minix debate, for me, was that "working code wins" and either microkernel wasn't as beneficial as was claimed or through grit and elbow grease, Linux pushed through to viability. But now I wonder how true that narrative is.

Could it have been that FOSS provided the boost in network effects for Linux that compounded its popularity and helped it soar past Minix? Was Minix hampered by Tanenbaum gatekeeping the software and refusal to cede copyright control?

To me, the licensing seems pretty important as, even if the boost to adoption was small, it could have compounding network effects that helped with popularity. I just never heard this argument before so I wonder how true it is, if at all.

Vi Hart Videos on the Internet Archive
"Sending lots of love to Vi Hart. May the world someday become a safe place for you to share your videos once again. Our students love you."
https://x.com/ChurchofMath/status/1886860186452943001

Edit: I was going to post only this tweet, but I couldn't get it to fit in the character limit. It now occurs to me it might be unkind to circumvent the removal of all but one of Vi Hart's videos, presumably in response to an adverse experience. However, I also think the withdrawal of previously published videos is a problem with streaming video platforms.

I suppose I should point out the one remaining video (On Gender, from 9 years ago):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmKix-75dsg

I don't know exactly what happened, but judging by the video that remains, maybe gender-related harassment prompted ViHart to make the mathematical videos private.
Probably like most countries. There's budget for new projects, but never enough for maintaining them. And like with all maintenance, not doing it will lead to higher costs down the road.
Bad relative to what? From my perspective UK roads are a pleasure.
> The linux kernel is like a house where everyone is a vegan. Marcan believes that incorporating some meat in the diet is important, and better that being a vegan. He may even be right. But so what? He makes his pitch, the family says that's nice but no thanks. He then demands that they eat this chicken because he wants to live in the house and wants to eat chicken while living in the vegan house?

While I think this a dumb metaphor, it's also incorrect in this context. The Linux kernel explicitly supports C and Rust code, and there are very clear parameters to allow for Rust code to be integrated into parts of the kernel.

Or in other words, the decision has already been made to allow meat into the vegan household, and now one maintainer is explicitly blocking a package of meat from entering the building, even though it has already been decided from on high that meat should be allowed in.

This isn't quite accurate, though, because of the unnecessary metaphor thing. Reading the original mailing list chain all the way through and talking about these events directly is completely sufficient here. The patch was reasonable within the parameters set out for the R4L project. The maintainer of this subsystem blocked it explicitly because they disagree with the idea of R4L in general (calling it a cancer).

The question is not whether or not R4L is a good thing or a bad thing - anyone can have their own opinion on that. R4L is part of Linux, and will be for the foreseeable future, until it either clearly demonstrates its use, or clearly demonstrates its failure. The question (at least as regards the "cancer" comment) is whether it is okay for a maintainer to describe another team's work as cancer, and to publicly block it as much as they can.
That version is 2 years old. Rust has had a new faster sort implementation since then.

> My take on it is that there are no 'language comparisons' there.

Watch the video a few minutes forwards from when I linked, there are "language comparison" slides. Basically C++ and Rust are on par.
I find it most annoying when moving your eyes. Anyone will notice the flicker if their eyes aren't stationary since then each "flick" will end up on a different part of the retina. So, instead of a normal motion blur you see a dashed line which is hard to ignore.

Lots of rain and its erosion effects. Nevertheless UK roads are some of the least potholed I have come across.

I believe that potholes are the responsibility of councils - so neither (income) tax nor fuel sales are linked to the funding.
