Tribalism is a major factor in how this situation arrived.

Violence will not improve the political landscape, and it likely won't even improve the voting metrics for the opposition (ex: the Trump assassination attempt was the major turning point for the online prediction markets last election).

Keep in mind that What we see is a direct result of half of the country directly voting for it. Certainly there are people regretting the Trump vote. They need to be engaged with in a positive way (demeaning them does nothing, even if they "deserve" it). Much of the country doesn't even vote. That seems like an extra critical issue at the moment. And not just for national elections, but local elections and midterms as well.

The hyper factionalism is a game of ping pong, and Trump it won't be the last actualized result of it.
So I did a roadtrip recently on my EV. It was over 7000km. Not once I experienced any of issues you describe. I agree I drive below 120 km/h per speed limits where I live.

Also, I don't believe you. How do you manage to spend whole battery in hours?
Two hours on autobahn driving 90-120km/h in city zones or just plain stuck in traffic because of construction is like 30% at best. May be 50% if you're lucky.

Exactly. If energy flowed around the wires and resistance was “the portion of the energy that accidentally entered the wire” then larger wires would have larger resistance (due to a higher chance of “stray energy entering the wire”) than smaller wires, which is clearly incorrect. It really is a terrible model in almost every way.
why not charge it to 100% for a long trip? It literally says to do so.
It's not just the corporations as a whole that are an issue. It increases the insider risk footprint of that data to include your cloud provider's employees as well as your own. Amazon, Microsoft, and Google almost certainly employ agents of your adversaries (including US agents working without their knowledge) who have weird attack vectors and now have to be part of your threat model.
This is interesting. Lately I have been wondering about the great diversity of thing available in my grocery stores and wondering if I like it or not (different animal than the retail stores in the article). I grew up around stores that were sometimes maybe 2000sqft (small side). Now some of the stores are 100,000+ sqft.

Lots of European countries have cheap (not free) excellent universities.

Lots of people seem to think this is only about data. The real risk is if trump says "ok, switch off the clouds for Europe"

Europe has no choice but to create its own subsidised cloud and mandate its use.

Twitch knows exactly what they're doing. They're forcing streamers to assume the responsibility & cost for storing & serving video archives. Twitch's costs go down, which means their profit goes up, which makes their execs & shareholders happier. They're unlikely to lose much business, & if they do lose business it will be dwarfed by the cost savings & increased profits.

A lot of archived streamer footage will disappear; most archived footage that is preserved will likely uploaded to streamers' YouTube channel(s).

The numbers in the post that you respond to are picturing a different situation: there are almost 3 admins per professor. That means the universities are not teaching places, but administrative places with some teaching as a secondary activity.

I think people overcomplicated universities and that is what makes admins needed. Taking a step back, we need to make universities teaching places again, with 1 admin for 3 professors, not the other way around. Imagine savings, needing less grant money, less audits, less funding that comes with strings attached.

In the end I think people make up too much irrelevant work. And that needs to go away.
The simple answer is to not recognize the authority of the UK government when you don't have a physical presence there, as long as they are failing to protect their citizens with sane, ethical digital policy.

Tough pill to swallow for some, but there is no difference between irrational demands made from the government of the UK, and say, North Korea. It's everyone's choice which side of history they'd like to be on.
You think the other side is not capable of violent protests? Protests only work when majority of the population is ignorant of some injustice or corruption that is affecting a minority and your protest highlights the issue and brings it to attention. It won’t work when the country is split into 2 equal-sized factions where everyone knows exactly what the other side is up to and are actively cheering for their side to win. Violent protests will lead to violent counter protests and nothing else.

He did not. He was talking to people who don't normally vote, who were there because the economy was so bad - telling them he'd fix the economy so they could go back to not caring about politics, they just needed to vote in for him in that election to do it.

Interesting; I have yet to run into any issues with it. Teams I work with mostly use it for local development/testing and do actual deploys using Kubernetes, so we don't use Docker Compose for deployments that utilize features unavailable in Podman Compose.

I definitely agree. I just think that it's just been so common in GUIs for long enough to be one of the few that's probably safe to just assume will be understood. Sort of like the two vertical bars for 'pause' on a media player.

Practice.

Question whether what you're doing is the right way, or the easy way.

Participate and observe discussions. Learn by osmosis.

Refactor. Question your earlier assumptions. Which were correct, which weren't? What mistakes were foreseeable in retrospect? How would you do things differently?

Often the starting process of a refactor - working out what you'd change - is about 50% of the learning and 25% of the effort of actually doing it.

That said, I'm 18, I'm going through this process as well. There's a big difference between making something work and making something work properly.
They also block Brave browsers entirely. I tried reading into it, but it appears to be one of those "programmer personality quirks". The fellow that runs the site appears to think Brave is a scam of some sort, and just decided to block the entire browser.

3. True. But I don't have time for language classes. Anecdote but Duolingo brought my French language skills back to life, but probably because I already had them.

4. Do you travel much? Apps are far, far superior to any mechanism. Let's say your flight is cancelled due to weather. You can (a) call the 800 number and wait in a phone queue, (b) go to the desk and wait in a physical queue, which is challenging if you are in a country that is not your native language, or (c) log into the app to make changes instead of waiting for a person. Have you ever wanted to change your seat, or upgrade? You have the same three choices. Yeah, apps are hands-down light-years ahead of alternatives when you travel frequently.
Lmao. They need to call that out so the users know not to believe it

I really think there ought to be more discussion of this paper.

copying from my previous comment: A first-generation diffusion model is beating LLama 3 in some areas, a model with a huge amount of tuning and improvement work. And it's from China again!

A whole new "tree" of development has opened up. With so many possibilities - traditional scaling laws, out-loud chain of thought, in-model layer-repeating chain of thought, and now diffusion models - it seems unlikely to me that LLMs are going to hit a wall that the river of technological progress cannot flow around.

I wonder how well they'll work at translation. The paper indicates that they're rather good at poetry.

Interesting times.
Because they can be arrested and extradited to UK. Not a high chance, but not zero. And a realistic one is to be arrested while traveling in Europe and extradited to UK.
Oh, and one other thing: a grid that is 35% natural gas doesn't mean you only have turbine capacity for 35% of the grid demand, it means that of the total energy put onto the grid, 35% is from natural gas. The peak NG could supply could be much greater.

A 65%/35% renewable/natural gas grid probably doesn't need any storage at all.

I went through this a year ago. My 95 year old dad was in rehab after major heart surgery and they wanted to communicate with him through a clunky android app. It was enraging. He could barely use the TV remote and they wanted him to navigate an app that kept crashing, forcing him to log in with a username and corporate-approved password. Absolute horror. I feel for you.
Student car ownership also didn't account for the explosive growth of parking at this school. The ratio of cars per student surely grew a little bit since the 1990's, but not nearly that much.

Yeah, people in the US give birth older and fatter. Both are huge risk factors, and have nothing to do with the quality of medical systems.

My first name starts with the 'letter' (digraph, actually [0]) IJ.

I have a standard email I send to companies not honoring the only correct Dutch spelling of my name and/or initials.

The GDPR makes it mandatory for companies to correctly process your personal details so while it can take a while sometimes it's gotten a lot better over the years.

In your case (assuming you live in the EU) there's plenty of precedent to send a standard email like that too. Even banks have been forced kicking and screaming to fix it [1].

My account has five karma, Dan. One downside of uncommunicated permanent bans is that it precludes the leverage you ordinarily use to encourage reform.
Learning/teaching how to think is:

(1) Not entirely a function of bachelor's programs that produce conformant wage workers.

(2) Not worth the high tuition and debt at all.

I can't help but imagine that there have got to exist far better and cheaper ways to learn how to think. I would like to see more entrepreneurship colleges that force people to innovate, also to bootstrap without external investment.
> What accounts for this gap - patents (ha)

China has been the country filing the most patents for a while now.

"While innovators from China continue to file nearly half of all global patent applications, the country’s growth rate dipped for a second consecutive year from 6.8% in 2021 to 3.1% in 2022. Meantime, patent applications by residents of India grew by 31.6% in 2022, extending an 11-year run of growth unmatched by any other country among the top 10 filers."

As much as I hate this legislation, this is really just a small forum deciding they don't have the time to understand the legislation and therefore it's easier to block IP's from the UK (while it's not even clear if that will exempt them from liability). Fair enough but hardly earth shattering. I remember several US based websites geo-blocking all of Europe after GDPR came in (I think the LA Times was one of the biggest) and that went on for years.

We need legislation that tackles the various issues this legislation aims to tackle but in much more targeted ways. It needs to specifically target the biggest social media companies (Meta, X, Reddit, etc). Smaller forums are irrelevant. If your algorithm recommends self-harm content to kids who then go on to kill themselves it is right that you should be held responsible. "We're so big we can't be expected to police the content we host" should not be an acceptable argument.
I don't think the complaint is that all government spending is good or that cutting waste would be bad. The objection is that they're not cutting the kinds of things you're talking about and their approach seems fundamentally unlikely to do so.

Finding things like solutions nobody is using or systems that are far more complicated than they need to be is worthwhile if you're goal is removing waste and increasing efficiency. But it also takes in-depth analysis by people who understand the context. You're definitely not finding it with just raw budget access and first principles from people with little relevant experience. Same goes for employees. There are definitely poor performers or people doing unnecessary things, but you're not dealing with those cases if your approach is just to fire all the new employees.

It's not that this approach is an imperfect solution to a legitimate problem, it's not a solution to the problem at all. Instead, it's basically about redefining a hard problem (identifying and addressing waste and inefficiency) into an easy problem (have less stuff) and then trying to solve that one. Which is great if your goal is to declare victory, but it doesn't actually address the original problem of efficiency.

I find it frustrating because I agree with you that the government is absolutely not perfectly efficient and it would be great if there was a concerted effort to improve the situation. But not only is that not what's happening, this approach seems likely to make things worse given that random chaos and disruption are generally the enemies of efficiency and it seems likely all this will make it harder for the government to attract or retain the best, most efficient employees.
My quibble is not the hypothetical, it is your implicit claim that the situations are similar. Thats what an analogy is.

The mere fact of your defending Russian invasion of Ukraine is enough to completely discredit your opinion on the matter.
Germ theory is great, for sure. For the rest, aim a bit lower to reach things you can figure out how to manufacture in your lifetime: working with steel was just starting to be properly understood in 1850s, and pre-industrial seems to be defined as 1750-1850, so depending on exact timing you could perhaps become the greatest blacksmith in existence, or a rich industrialist/inventor. As a modern person, the simplest lessons you can take back on that topic are probably "add more oxygen to the fire", and that some combinations of metals burn in very specific ways (think fireworks, burning magnesium, etc).
