Trading in mosquitoes for cats isn't a bad thing, unless you hate cats more, hard to imagine though...

In the Netherlands it is mandatory to carry your ID card or passport at all times.

Welcome to our brave new digital world, governments and DOJs do this because now they can, I am afraid this is only the beginning.

I understand the move but I also see bears on the road. When the politicians control their communication apps then it is sooner or later also very convenient for politicians to ask the operators to disappear conversations that shouldn't have taken place or conversations that somehow are political liabilities.

I agree, it is shortsighted (next quarter syndrome). First of all the AI does not need source to find vulnerabilities and further it breaks the unwritten contract to exchange source for eyeballs which creates better source. I guess the CEO wants less security and stopped evolution of it's code.

Not only conservative media, people are so afraid to really communicate with each other (be tolerant of each others viewpoint), that they constantly cancel each other on the fear of that viewpoint, thus do not give each other a chance to communicate. And things becoming worse each generation, younger generations are not learnt to think for them self anymore.

So this will be one of the ways that people will die from AI

That regulation would not have come into existence if there were no privacy problems caused by the ones that have to comply to the regulations

I first read it the wrong way, as if I had to bear that damaged luxury cars was actually a person in a costume, strange headline.

Get some older friends, they are fun, they have a lot of info, they are generally less scared of consequences so they let you do stupid stuff, they give you room to grow and get wiser, they generally have more money and cause better opportunities. As young person I always were around the generation of my parents and I never regret it, it provided me with the baggage to get through life without too much problems. When middle aged make younger friends to keep you young and to be able to pass on the culture to young people that want to be around older ones.

It does not, it just seems that way. The electron just jumps to an empty slot in the next atom (metals have empty electron slots in their atoms, that is why they conduct energy) and leaves a bit of energy in the current one. So if the electron jumps to the next atom on the right, the current seems to go left.

I am a golang programmer myself, but you can't beat GAMBAS it's GUI programming qualities, it is so effortless to make a great quality prototype for a GUI application.

The language is very complete, even for me a as spoiled (having a very complete standard library) golang user.

GAMBAS is fun without being a childish toy, one can make very serious applications with it.

A lot of business intranet software still runs on IE, especially in the far east.

And nothing is lost... Good riddance...

Yes, it is about boring and unfulfilling jobs...

That is giving a sack of DNA too much credit, don't forget the lousy schooling system, lazy parents and indifferent students.

All technology giveth and taketh away, so yes it will create jobs while taking away others. However people that aren't able to come along, and there are more of them than you can feed, are very much threatened by this all. You either dispose all these so called career wise immobile people or you find them to do some interesting and fulfilling work, if not they will cause a lot of problems. I personally think the latter is the most wise way, besides, they are the majority on this planet.

My first contact (1995) with the internet was through a BBS gateway and the experience was underwhelming. Later direct contact (1997) made all up but only after ADSL connect (2000) it became permanent for me as from early on I was interested in serving my own stuff.

They do make sense provided they are real master recording stems (not upsampled) to do mixing or mastering.

For listening by people, they don't.

You'd really do not want that much accuracy in your hearing, it would drive you totally mad.

Interesting article, but not entirely right.

The fibers are not in the note but painted on top of them, neither side of the note is the same fiber wise, also they do get wear with usage. The fibers on the new notes are different, they are more compact and illuminate.

So far the reason seems to be to get extinct.

Why would we de-extinct an ugly, non tasty bird that cannot fly and who's ecosystem is gone for 100's of years and risk destabilize the current ecosystem that does not include it?

Unless you live in a super dry area you are causing your house to grow substantial mould and make you live shorter by years or decades.

Congratulations...

Fixed point math is common in software made for business applications because of rounding problems with binary floating point math.

The following link is an example of a good quality fixed point math library and shows you how it is done.

https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/shopspring/decimal?utm_source=...

Also fixed point math is more accurate than floating point math in computers, also it is easy to accomplish. Even 32bit numbers can be very big/small when a struct of 2 32bit integers is used, one for the number and one for the exponent.

Not too nice but too cowardice, they don't want to deal with the moral psychological fallout of killing evil people, they rather sit in a corner and weep about how evil the world is.

I wonder if there is a use case for this instead of fixed point math which is more precise than floating point math

Yes I did in the 70's.

It worked out well up until my 6th grade (8th grade if you count kindergarten) The higher education part (Montessori Lyceum) never worked out for me as lack of structure and wealth of time freedom killed my effort and work ethos.

The difference between how primary and higher education was structured on a Montessori based education is to far apart of each other.

Primary Montessori education was more about getting the kids curious about the world and make them ask questions and get knowledge that way into the kid. Higher Montessori education was more like standard pumping knowledge that you have to remember for terms and tests.

I was never prepared for that higher education part in my primary education period so I went from bad to worse in my higher education before giving up totally and went to work instead. Later I did catch up when I was grown up.

Still, I am thankful for getting Montessori education as it formed my worldview and kept me curious and inquisitive the rest of my life and even now.

I do wish that in the last 3 years of my primary schooling I had more support for conquering the higher education years.
