Since 2019 there is also the ARM64 MNT Reform Laptop https://mntre.com/reform.html

That the LLM is in control of us.

where is the nearest McDonald's? 18:51

I'm sorry, but I don't have the capability to access real-time location data to find the nearest McDonald's for you. However, you can easily find this information by using a maps application on your phone or computer.

I just asked Mistral.ai, using it without an account:

what do you know about me? 2:50pm

I don't know anything about you unless you share information with me. How can I assist you today? 2:50pm you do not know my IP and its location? 2:50pm

That's correct, I don't have access to your IP address or your location. If you need assistance with something specific, feel free to let me know!

If you’re not on WhatsApp, no updates or news from your kids school, your sports team, your family, your car dealership etc. for you.

Maybe, but not being in WhatsApp is also a signal.

I think that Python has inherited a lot (but unfortunately not all) of the artistic qualities of Lisp. So in a sense the artistic dynamic approach of Lisp won given the popularity of Python.

I have a heat pump for hot water and calculated this with an offered floating energy tariff. It is not economical because the high net tariffs are not floating but fixed per kwH and negative / very low prices are seldom here and only for a short period of time available.

I have just read this book and found it very interesting and helpful:

Every example I skimmed over was some hiphop artist who ripped off music before them.

Mozart ripped of Händel. For example parts from his famous Reqiuem are a rip of of Händels Messiah. And a lot of classical Composers (ex. Beethoven) ripped of from their "godfather": J.S Bach. Altough they did not call it rip of, but learning.

We use https://groups.io/ and are happy

The Linux based Nokia N900 was the best phone I ever owned. With a bit of polish, finish and maturity it could have also been the best phone for the masses. RIP.

By naming the variable ID it is crystal clear what the value is. Most of the time an explicit type only adds cognitive load to the reader, and limits the universality of the code. At an high abstraction level, most of the time a type is from a program logic point of view an irrelevant machine implementation detail. If a specific duck is required it is explicitly tested. This makes code very clear when the duck type is important and when not.

In a dynamically duck typed language it should not matter if an ID is a string, a number or a GUID. The code should work with all of them. The semantically important thing is that this is an identifier. No String, number or GUI data type expresses this true meaning of the value.

A function is clear or not. I fail to see how the scale of the code, team, dependence is a factor in that.

I do not agree that typing leads to less cognitive load. Typing often leads to more and more complicated code. Dynamically typed code is often shorter and more compact. If dynamically typed code is well written, its function, inputs and outputs are clear and obvious. Clear and easy to understand code is not primarily a matter of typed or not typed code, it is a matter of a great programmer or a poor one.

The hard part is not writing code but to maintain a deep understanding of how it works for a long time. The tools you mention do not help in this regard, maybe they even worsen understanding, structure, format and comments.

DNT is legally effective. A German court ruled: "According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the right to object to the processing of personal data can also be exercised using automated procedures. A DNT signal represents an effective contradiction."

Since the end of the Iron Curtain Vienna population grew dramatically by the size of the second largest city in Austria (Graz). During the time of the Iron Curtain Vienna was the only big city in Europe that lost population. It was a grey, old, slowly dying city. The city and the quality of live evolved dramatically since then. I would call it a completely different and in my opinion in almost any regard much better, lively, young, modern city. But it managed to keep its very distinguished identity.

Double entry bookkeeping is the gold standard in finance bookkeeping since the romans. It is not overkill, because once mastered it is very easy to handle especially with a program that implements the logic like GnuCash. The problem for novices is usually to understand the logic: https://gnucash-docs-rst.readthedocs.io/en/latest/guide/C/ch...

sqlite is stable for GnuCash, I moved from xml to sqlite a few years ago. No issues.

I am also a solo freelancer with simplified bookkeeping. I experienced that Double-entry bookkeeping is - beyond the initial learning curve - not more effort than simple book keeping. That is because it automatically avoids common errors. GnuCash works fine for me since 20 years. Never looking back to fragile spreadsheets and half-baken Access DB's.

There are always been floods. But now they get worse. How much worse ? I don't know.

From the OP: "But if warming reaches 2C, similar episodes will become an extra 5% more intense and 50% more frequent, the WWA warned."

According to this logic there are also intelligent aliens living beside us.

We do not know how our brain works.

Yes, as it is absurd to call a generative statistical model intelligent.

I do this kind of work in Europe as a freelancer since 25 years. I really enjoy it because technology is not an end in itself for me, but a tool to help companies to work better.

This is not a mass market device for everyone. That is good. I hope it stays the same.

There is alcohol free beer. Tastes ok and is socially accepted. people often do not realize that you are not drinking.

This is not a problem, because in my market each day at 17:00 the fixed hourly prices for the next 00:00-24:00 period are published. Weather and therefore renewable energy yield is good predictable for 24 hours.
