Except it doesn’t matter whether it’s foolproof or verifiable. The only thing that matters is seizing on a narrative and running with it, whipping up fear and discontent. The solution is to heal the partisanship in US society that infects

Pix seems to be working really well in Brazil. I'm adjacent to it in that we provide some of the infrastructure around identity etc in Brazil, and it seems to be really popular. I think there's a similar system in India. In the UK

And not just that, but the very fact that someone considers it valid to try to accumulate billions of dollars so they can have an outsized influence on the direction of society, seems somewhat questionable. Even with 'good' intent

I'm happy with 120. Wrapping at 88 in java code, where I have method names almost that long, would use too much vertical space and lead to constant scrolling. This may be an issue with the information density of java code, absolutely,

> I do wonder, where are PowerPC and IBM System z being used these days? IBM. And they own redhat, so I imagine they put a lot of time and money into making the kernel work. Why Debian in particular, not sure.

Which one was slink? My first Debian install was in 1996. I had no real idea what I was doing, but it was amazing to me that I could remote-display windows from machines across campus, and it was alien compared to the windows 3.x/95 I

If they add 'Protect' to this, it would make it much easier to start building a unifi network piecemeal. I already have a debian-running storage server, that would be a good fit for running this, and it would enable me to start ad

Oh they did introduce a system, OK, wasn't aware. Perhaps in all the talk of making the system like the Australian one, they missed the crucial part of it - that you also apply limits to the visas you issue. In fact it looks like that&

I think we're talking at cross-purposes here - I'm not really taking a position one way or another on whether the Tories would/could have reduced immigration, and they certainly didn't deliver on that. I was just pretty

Sometimes search results don't contain the info you need, sometimes they are SEO-spam, or a major topic adjacent to what you need to know about floods the results. But they're not often confidently wrong like AI summaries are.

I'm intrigued as to why someone, presumably tech-savvy, would do that? We know they aren't oracles and come up with a lot of false information in response to factual questions.

I still find it amazing that the world's largest search engine, which so many use as an oracle, is so happy to put wrong information at the top of its page. My examples recently - - Looking up a hint for the casino room in the game &qu

You're not wrong, though antipodes tends to pluralise antipode, rather than antipus! That said, wikipedia mentions antipus or antipous may have been correct before the 16th century, and antipode is likely a sort of reverse de-pluralisa

I sometimes say octopods. Octopi is correct, in that it is an english language plural for octopus. It is not etymologically sound, certainly, as it's a latinate plural on a greek root. So anyone telling you that any other form is wrong
