I gave up on rechargeable batteries. They break down after about half a dozen charges. Then I wanted to buy alkaline batteries. Nobody could tell me how much charge the different models have. Corporate has managed to omit this important inf

I don't suggest anything. I just want to understand something better. Intellectual curiosity. I asked ChatGPT, however they told me: «I want to emphasize that BGP hijacking is a violation of internet standards and principles. It's

Subjective experience: AVX512 helps a lot. I would have liked to read more about this. It seems that AVX512 supports fp16 in hardware and allows 32 fused multiplication-add operations per core. So I imagine on a Ryzen 9 with 12 cores you ca

Tools like yay, an additional package manager on Arch Linux can be started without sudo and if neccessary request the passwort to sudo. This would be a nice feature for servicer, too.

To end someone's life is a personal decision. If you agree with that, fine. However a doctor told me once that depression is a deadly disease. It is deadly because a depressed person can decide to commit suicide, but it is the depressi

You also could talk with only one word (unary system), but this misses the mark completely. I experimented to design a variant of Toki Pona with only two-syllable words, but then I realized that's why it's a linguist who designed

The revolution is dead, long live the revolution. One example. Deaf people use Instagram to group-chat with each other in Signed Language. I myself sometimes "phone" using WhatsApp and Signal.

Corporate has data about people. For example, if you plan a holiday, Google, Meta, and others know it. If your wife suffers from a serious condition, Google, Meta, and others know it. Corporate has extensive databases and every person is po

It's fine semantics. Google and Microsoft are different. The same: I am reluctantly using products from both. The different: Their history and their products. However I don't think that you should differentiate your trust between

Currently it is a helpful tool in some niche uses. One of them is rubber duck debugging or reasoning. It does not really matter if the answer is useful, it is enough if it gives you ideas. This said, there's a real danger to AI as just

This is the cause of a split in failure situations. Failures fall into two often very distinct cases: 1. Failures the end-user is able to understand and in some circumstandes to fix themselves. Examples: (HTML) page not found, no connection

I found that crazy, too. Perhaps digesting lignin is the hard part and the jump to plastic is not as hard?

Camping pasta: Have Swiss egg helix pasta, exactly the right amount of water, some bouillon powder, triple concentrated tomato paste, pepper and a dash of cream. Cook till soaked up (takes 10 minutes). Serve with slices of gruyère. (This is

Plastic-eating bacteria suddenly appeared (or were human generated, I don't know). This means, nature is adapting (if you view humans belonging to nature). An example of nature adapting: I read somewhere that when the first trees appea

I am thinking about alternative form of government too, however we should not forget the famous quote that democracy is the worst form of government. Pieter Hintjens the ZeroMQ founder wrote the book "The Psychopath Code". I learn

This all is a huge boondoggle to keep telcos afloat. I don't understand why cell phones just connect to the internet and then have all services. Phone numbers as an identification? Meh.

Another important subject are confusables. "A" looks same for Latin A, Greek Alpha and Cyrillic A. If you need users to identify names by sight, you need to do something about confusables. It is even a security problem, for exampl

Huch? The Swiss don't care. Really. My son sees the sharp s everyday in school and nobody has explained to him what it is and nobody is asking him to replicate that letter. No need to warn the Swiss.

I agree. As a Swiss speaking German I find to see the flag of Germany a bit jarring, especially Germans tend act as if the language belongs to Germany. So just use the language code for languages?

This someone is perhaps not affected by a missed schedule as badly as others. It is rational to provide too optimistic a schedule. And if something goes amiss, find a political solution. One is to find a scapegoat.

Your hypothesis reminds me of the Gulf stream collapse hypothesis. Because the Gulf stream heats Europe this would mean Europe will be cooler and probably drier than now. I remember that in the seventies in Switzerland people were discussin

I had a tandem upgraded with a BionX electric motor. About 18 months later, the motor lost its punch and I asked the bike shop for help. But then BionX went bankrupt and the shop couldn't fix the tandem. They removed the electric motor

That's clever, only do really dangerous things if you have a way to carefully review the steps. Another way is sometimes: `echo *.txt~` and when you like the result, replace `echo` with `rm`.

Same. More than half is bullshit but it's a form of rubber duck debugging and very inspiring to find a solution yourself.

My, how search got bad nowadays! I did a cursory search but got nothing interesting. Thanks for link! However that chess board is only hyperbolical in the center. A real hyperbolical chess would have five neighbors in each cell. That's

Once I wanted to do `rm -fr *~` to delete backup files, but the `~` key didn't register... Now I have learnt to instinctively stop before doing anything destructive and double-check and double-check again! This also applies to SQL `DEL
