I'd want to see a much stronger argument this is specific to electricity prices and not more strongly correlated to e.g. the number of prickles on a cactus bought at Costco, or incidence of coughing in Cinemas during flu season.

His analytics team have worked out there's little to no likely electoral impact in the next 2 days, and so the cash burn isn't justified. He'll wake it up again in 2 years time, if the bubble in angry memes hasn't exploded by then. Just in time to see if he can sweep up some young minds.

The macro packages were a royal pain in the neck. As soon as you mastered one, somebody submitted a paper to a mill which demanded another. I alternated -ms and -me for ages because of this.

When we had a continuous paper wet process xerography printer, the cut-marks were a godsend. Once we stopped having that printer, they were a major annoyance.

For quite a long time TBL would spit out misformed tables. Mike Lesk told me this was an adustment added for the throwback function in the printer they used at bell labs and was needed to "shoogle" the table horizontals back into place for the next table. -Apparently printing a page-width worth of underscores in sequence caused an accumulating mis-alignment so they added some code to throw it back.

Van Jacobsen TCP synchronisation at queue points in the Internet. Led to protocol changes to de-cohere with a small random backoff.

Interesting choice of language in the immediate timeframe. As secure as your REPL implementation.

Temporary states go on with a long tail. Look at the v6 transition. We're dual stack for the foreseeable future and it's my guess we'll be in partial deployment of secure mail transport for aeons.

I think we ate Flatkaka. Which for an anglophone tastes like it sounds. From the Gamla Bar, opposite the new(er) alþhing. They were putting out the bedding plants in the park, it was lovely.

Calling this a coup is hyper bowl.

I could get behind this AI. I hope they sit in one of the 24h ground steamed warm tomato greenhouses, eating that wierd lamb flatbread I was served. Or Puffin.

I suspect this will be "weaponised" by anti renewable politics to imply RE is the problem. That's the experience here in Australia; Murdoch press in particular headlines any grid instability as "renewable fault" automatically.

> I'm also suspicious of my own ability to accurately recognize LLM voice.

With much sympathy for the headline this is the central problem.

It's not easy to say what Uncanny Valley looks like, and so we're left with suspicion not certainty.

BTW, I am now 4-5 out of hundreds of my comments since AI detection became a thing, called out for having "AI" tone. I fucking hate being objectified like this. It's not true, although I understand that assertion is hard to refute or support. All I can say is, some people write like some people believe an AI writes.

Thank you for a correction. In substance, much of what I said is the same: the path through other languages in particular.

There will be a few people doing "but how do we know" and the answer is (as I understand it) with some uncertainty, structural clues in things like rhymes, where the written form clearly indicates sounds which had to sound alike. If you follow the clues through language shifts over the centuries, you can arrive at a sense which ones preserved the rhyme, and which didn't and a huge amount of inference added in gets you back where you expect things started.

The same with the great vowel shift.

I love Oden! I've had oden in JR train stations, and in fancy posh restaurants with copper beaten flat woodfired bowls to cook it in. Its the best! The turnip is the best bit. ('turnip' sui generis)

In the old Tsukiji market you walked past wooden boxes of the flakes wafting gently in the breeze and saw people milling them with green enamelled powered industrial bench planes, while cooking gas powered market trolleys trundled around, with curious drum like round control panels shifting frozen tuna sides and boxes of abalone. I've never seen those motorised carts anywhere else.

the stuff we buy in packets here in oz must suffer in transit and packaging, they are shattered fragments but they still waft gently in the steam of a bowl of salmon and rice.

The bonito shavings reminded me of the litter around a wood turners lathe. Waste there, but here the point of the exercise.

I think I've had them served as a garnish on Oden. They dance.

If you do this, have at least one backup key (if need be on paper) or a guaranteed alternate path into the hosts you depend on this key to access. Because if the secure enclave is as good as we're told, if you lose access to ->THIS<- secure enclave, its game over for the keys.

Secure enclave protecting Keychain, the keychain is backed up. Not the contents of the enclave.

Too many failed access attempts? poof the key is gone. Could be as low as 10.

(happy to be corrected. This is what I gather from a quick read-around. I was a bit surprised the site didn't seem to discuss this)

Not just PT please. And, pay staff to enforce it.

I don't think that is really true any more. All electronics includes a substantial amount of Chinese sourced inputs but I believed actual manufacturing is taking place on Ukranian soil of metal and plastic parts. Of small jet engines as well.

I see what I did there. I mistook the absence of the CSS grey bar, for the complete text of the article. That's on me. You are right, this does not render the entire content visible to me. Were I an AI I'd say something like "you're absolutely right" but I'm not, so I'm going to add a specious double dash -- and slink away.

(sorry. I really did think I was reading the entire piece. It looks like what I see is their occasional seeding of freemium content which is long form and from their back numbers)

In firefox? Strange, I just used it to read the full text of a piece about botched executions.

Or, and don't take my word for it, ask Abraham Lincoln, who told me to try "reader mode" in Firefox.

So a highly specific problem couched in terms of the legal obligations of the registry. But,you ignore the other dimension of WHY a legal authority might require a registry to act.

Do you honestly think the world would be better if there was no international law, or legal constraints on ISPs? Do you think BGP operators are somehow supra legal?

The registry system we live in has operated for almost 3 decades now, an inheritance of a prior informal arrangement. It's a mutuality. If you want to change it, get involved in it's policy process.

Used to man the free help desk for programming problems at the uni computing centre I worked at. "Have you got a current listing of the program" got rid of most of them.

Saddest case was a PhD student in chemical engineering near the end of his thesis work struggling to get reproducible results. After half an hour of debug I realised he was using un-initialised Fortran array state for his data. I suspect his discovery went up in smoke.

I might want to think of myself as a rationalist but I don't want to be ideated that way.

I'm more than happy to be badged a secular humanist and I am led to beleive they overlap but I see differences.

What really shits me is how many rationalists are basically mansplaining tiresome pedants. And, hyper argumentative.

And worse for post op ward experience. No family to bring food? You won't be happy. And, according to my Chinese expat friends, even seeking recommendations from friends can incur the expectation of a payoff or several. Want that specialist? Pay to get referral from your gp.

If this is maligning the system I'd love to know. They said faced with excess costs to go private in Oz for a condition or fly home and get treated in China, they'd stay here. The net cost might well be similar.

The normal sleep study kit is very invasive, my partner said it made normal sleep next to impossible. (She was being assessed for sleep apnoea risk) if this study as a corollary can say accelerometer study is good enough to eg weed some cases out, it would be super useful for doing triage before the more invasive process.

If I read this right, no wooden remains so no radiocarbon or tree ring analysis: it's stylistic features of the amphora found underwater which are canonical to some holotype which is reliably dated.

Super interesting find!

> The downside is that Apple Mail isn’t designed to provide the same level of customization as Thunderbird.

No shit. I spent a week vibe coding swift to set Reply-To conditionally. At the end? I find I can set X-Anything but the canonical critical list of "not these" simply can't be set and what's on that list is undocumented.

Yet, you can set reply-to in gui, and you can applescript setting it as gui actions.
