I don't see how that would be different.

The most critical is probably 1. It feels like gross negligence that Linux doesn’t dominate schools already. What could be more appropriate? It’s so educational and empowering, and a great model for much more in society.

In fact, it may not be an exaggeration to say: the only plausible explanation why Linux isn’t dominant is corruption.

You wonder what needs to happen that would make people stop using Windows.

Upvote, just because you seem to entertain the notion that "the system" wasn't broken. I haven't heard anyone argue that way in a very long time, and it's refreshing.

indeed. Shows again the milliseconds really count

There is one by Descartes (Meditations on First Philosophy), but the link goes to the Marc Aurel book, so it's a mess either way.

Out of 53 'landmark' oncology studies, only 6 were replicable in this study conducted by a biotech based in Thousand Oaks, California.

Is this materially different from the alternatives?

Durable, portable, no counterparty risk.

I heard somewhere 11% of cancer research can be replicated. Does anyone have numbers with sources for replicatability?

Anyone else immediately thought of the attention hack wrt. to duck vs. duct? The hack is based on the opservation that any content with little, weird mistakes or errors get outsized attention.

The thought in the last paragraph resonates. Not sure which shape it will take, but the extreme inflation of reasonable and orderly text that the models produce will make it lose all its value. It might be an opportunity for the better, in the end. Maybe quirkiness, authenticity, and personality will see a revival.

It might be better, because the long-winding and formulaic text from the models is something also only models can read well :)

There's the pile on, and then of course it topples over at some point

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_boar

Yes, it's said they are descendants of domestic pigs, my bad. They do look like wild boar though, and seem to revert back to their wild form quickly and be similarly dangerous animals.

I’m always puzzled how they manage to publish posts like this leaving out the denominator completely

Why are they called 'feral hogs' in America? This is the original wild species of pigs, if I'm not mistaken. I think wild boar would be better. We also don't call wolves 'feral dogs,' no matter how little we like them.

I love the production, it's artistic and lovable, and avoids perfectionism.

The game also reminds me that the most frustrating aspect of working with SQL is navigating the results. This is mostly a UI issue, and I don't think it's solved. Scrollbars are bad, terminal output is clunky, hard to flip between table output (not helpful for cols with long content) and sections (makes comparison and overview hard), and the fact that changes to it require lots of changes in the query (shortening, mapping), just for exploring. This is made worse by the necessity to edit complex multiline statement in an interactive shell with poor editing support. Personally, I still prefer using Emacs on a file in SQL mode, in combination with an iSQL shell buffer. You collect various queries in a file, and copy the statement under the cursor to the shell for execution. An easy way to keep a collection of queries like a library or tool belt, in a way that can also be persisted and versioned.

This should have been solved technically, not politically. Why not set cookie rules in the browser settings, and handle at http standard level?

This resonates. There was a moment in history when, all of a sudden, everything was expected to be built on top of some framework, instead of solving it yourself. 2005-2007 timeframe. Felt disempowering, I guess that's the word. ChatGPT has that same quality.

True, I meant say local public transport.

So this is a public transport ticket for urban areas. It's a good idea to make them valid across regions. If they can make it work, that is. There is still the task to distribute revenue in some adequate way, and currently politicians like to in indulge in wishful thinking and disconnect from reality in Germany, so let's wait if anyone has bothered to solve the hidden problems behind this. Could play out like the disastrous Energiewende (energy turnaround), which made people wonder if they have heating in winter. It's probably not as impossible as a full socialist central planning economy, but it's the same spirit.

Interesting to learn who’s the single source of truth about propaganda classification. This uneducated „rater“ on minimal wage, training a search engine is probably maximally dependent on the job. What could go wrong?

The problem is probably related to the alerting system being automatic. The rate of fraud is likely much higher than we all can imagine, I once read a number about credit cards, which was incredible.

And if you know the constraints of classifiers where recall and precision are a tradeoff, and consider that basically fraud cannot happen for economic reasons, you can imagine that yanking up the recall (loss avoidance) at the expense of precision (stomping over innocent false positives) is tempting and lucrative, at least on short term.

Guilty until proven innocent?

I have the hope that recent revelations about censorship, and the problems with the covid vaccines on all levels have alerted people that their rights and interests are under attack globally. Good to see one of the few directly democratic countries move into that direction, with regards to possible mandatory centralized digital cash systems.

For many of the features that Cloudflare provides you need an autonomous system (AS) in order to be able to run border gateway protocol (BGP). That gives control over the routing, so that traffic is met by regional servers and infrastructure. If that sounds costly it's because it is.

Are you saying that it's unlikely that the government might abuse it's power? Look at history.

That sounds completely unacceptable. With CBDC we would be in an even worse situation, that's my point.
