It's worse than a farce. It's actually evil. The way "they" are pushing chat control, and how Ursula is avoiding justice (she has a huge corruption case hanging over her head but manages continuously cancel court…
Strongly typed is not a well defined term. But by most people definitions, Python certainly is NOT strongly typed. My take at a definition... Strongly typed languages make a serious effort to use the type system to…
Signalling = markets. Capitalism is allowing the winners of the markets to make the rules that everyone has to abide by, sidestepping "democracy" with anti-democratic "lobbyism" and creating a power hierarchy based on…
There's a really insightful book on this topic (by pretty much the name you suggested): https://www.minorcompositions.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/1...
I really liked the article. Sure maybe the title of the original article is a little clickbaity; but are article titles not supposed to be "drawing your attention"? The author is doing really cool things, like a…
Nice article... Bloat is not "since generative AI coding" new. We always had it. As the author says: > “It does sound like Facebook’s ‘move fast and break things,’ which didn’t age well either.” Which indeed did not age…
In many cases "transport encryption" would also fit that definition. E2ee is quite well established imho. The server at Hetzner (a.k.a. "someone else's computer") is NOT to be trusted in e2ee schemes. Until today I'd be…
It's a definition question. E2ee means in this cases that "the server" cannot decipher the data: the keys to that are only on the client and never shared with the server. This setup simply does fit the definition. And…
I used Bastion before. I'd not be too happy using an interpeted language like Python (that has eval capabilities) for this kind of purpose. We used it a lot at first, but as our setup got more mature we rarely needed to…
There seems to be a multiple-of-19 "code" in the Quran. Many of these observations require the Arab alphabet to be interpreted as numbers; in Mohammed's days the Abjad system was used for this (similar but simpler than…
Adult men are also the ones first to head out to retrieve food from dangerous places. > it's well documented It's well documented that food distribution places were specifically made dangerous.
Agreed. But to do so at govt level, those govts first need to free themselves from the infiltration of lobbyists that make these kinds of policies "unthinkable" for their coward politicians. This is, IMHO, the big…
Or mass media.
This. What I've learned for VitD conversion in the skin the sun needs to be more than 45° "high". Below that it's not much effective. Those long summer evenings in northern Europe are thus not all that useful for VitD.
From what I gather it's more that nazi/fascist/racist/extreme-right is used to shut people/parties up or paint them as impossible. While the left/socialist/labour has alienated their base by not listening to the problem…

Upsides will be seen into societies that are not capital-above-govt, but govt-above-capital. China for instance: they will show advantages of AI (amongst other technologies). Sure they've got surveillance there, but…
My Claude is looking into the PDFs, and makes changes, then looks again, etc. I did not even tell it to. It just knows how to use it all...
An LLM turned all my Latex projects to Typst and I'm not looking back. Much easier stack (I stopped installing Latex-stacks myself, and switched to Overleaf, because it was just too finicky). Much simpler language. Just…
I think C is hard for newcomers. Zig/Rust have a better story there.
Years ago I heard Oracle's db had an edge on PG when it comes to DELETEs. I guess that's still the case...
This first Rust/Zig kernel that allows Linux drivers to be ported over with ease (LLM assisted) could pick up a lot of run-on-bare-metal usage. Linux is the only FLOSS kernel that has broad hardware support.
What's the principle behind this law: it feels so arbitrary. Who gets to decide what LLM-services can be exported and what not?
This is discussed many times. How to stop smoking in youngsters by XYZ. But never: just force them to transparently list the junk they --currently secretly-- put in.
Yes! They should provide a list of all chemicals used to grow it, both in spray and in soil and in wash. So you get for a banana: Ingredients: banana, <a list of chemicals you cannot pronounce longer than the fist two…
