I think there should be a political movement that retries capitalism with AI. Basically liberate everything and then automate everything. I think people could get behind that.

Ah - there we go..

Meanwhile living in Denmark we are not even able to get results for blood panels from our 14 year old daughter cause "the system was not made for it". You know I'd much rather have it in the mail than not at all.

Even so, we tried to get a MitID for her so hopefully she could log in to see them. How do we do that you ask? Meet up physically. Did they fuck it up the first time? Sure, but luckily only a week later we were able to get a time hoping we'd now be able to get access to her blood panels. Nope. Logging in with her MitID says she is not old enough to see her blood panels. How long has it been like this? More than 5 years.. But luckily a law was passed in 2023 to do something about it.. Has it happened yet? No, but it doesn't matter.. She'll be 15 before it's implemented anyway.

I could go on with similar stories from almost every system I have to touch in Denmark.

Another Dane here, and that is absolutely not true. Where's your source to back up this claim? (I'll show you mine if you show me yours)

You'd be surprised how well a T9 keyboard works on iPhone. You should give Type Nine a shot! https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/type-nine-t9-keyboard/id926008...

It is consumer demand if consumers stop buying the 62.5g bar because prices had to be increased for them to make a profit. If they instead keep the price while lowering the weight and consumers keeps buying how can you say that there was no demand?

Thank you so much for the great reply! Answered all my questions - will definitely look closer!

I made Type Nine for iPhone, and have waited a long time for Apple to open up for doing it on the watch.

Probably because you aren't using Sin
It's surprising how far there is from discovery to production for these kinds of things. It's 14 years ago now that I designed the front cover for Advanced Energi Materials[1] wherein my friend described his similar discovery of the incredible properties of LiMnO4 with Carbon Nanotubes. Even though he had it working with measurable improvements in the 20-40x range he said it would take 10-20 years to reach a state for mass production.

Just use Type Nine! https://www.typenineapp.com Write a comment if you want some free promo codes.
Thanks a lot! I haven't done much on the marketing side, but I always felt it had great potential.

It needs a little tlc to align with the latest iOS update changes, but my time is too limited at the moment.

Shameless plug, but back in 2014 trying to play with swift I made Type Nine, and I'm still using it to this day[1]

I also did a few other experiments that I unfortunately haven't had time to explore further[2]

Indeed.. All those people that have kids but are not fit to be called a parent so they need the government to do their job!
If you're a parent then act like one. You're perfectly able to enact that ban yourself - why do you need the governments help?

Hehe. I didn't read it like that at all, so no worries
Re:Pipelining in psql (PostgreSQL 18) on Sunday October 12, 2025 @11:49AM (#45559090)
Thanks a lot. You're spot on about issue triage etc. I haven't had the time to keep up, but I read all issues when they're created and deal with anything critical. I'm using Postgres.js myself in big deployments and know others are too. The metrics branch should be usable, and I could probably find time to get that part released. It's been ready for a while. I do have some important changes in the pipeline for v4, but won't be able to focus on it until December.

I'm right here - what are you missing?
I like that.
Sad if you think so, but no - democracy perhaps.

Edit: Perhaps it's the native danish that tricks me, but by "inclusion" I refer to the practice of forcing and keeping people together - no matter their behaviour. Especially in public schools. Consequences of bad behaviour is not felt on the person doing it, but the ones around having to accept it.

Do you follow their lead, or do you try to set a better example? Does it become harder to do what you know is best?
Nope - it disappeared at the cost of "inclusion".

And even so they can't follow demand for their popular chipsets that aren't AI related but in high demand. We currently can't get N1xx for our devices even though we're ok paying the recent increase in price.

This gives me hope they might fix collaboration too. Unfortunately had to switch to VSCode Liveshare (which has its own problems) a few times because Zeds collaboration was so broken.
