Russia seems poised to invade Europe in the near future. If they do, and succeed, Rome could become part of the new Soviet Union(which Putin has explicitly said he wants to bring back) Once that happens, it's likely to lead to poverty.

Reading the writing on the wall perhaps. In Soviet Russia, Rome is a poor city I guess

Office 3650!! Works all day, every day, for whole decades at time! (Minus leap days, it crashes on those I guess)

I had a chat with gpt to try and clear out some details. It seems that one is supposed to think of real and imaginary as a vector. The rotation part comes in when the imaginary numbers is used as an exponent to the real, in which case you&#

Hmm.. Imaginary numbers are indeed a bit confusing. I'm trying to imagine a 2d surface where the X-axis coordinates are all the real numbers, and the y axis are all the imaginary numbers. That makes them orthogonal, and that seemed to

Yes, I could understand almost all of this actually! Thanks for explaining Fourier so well! I really don't have any mathematics in my background, so you lost me towards the very end when the actual math came in, but I can't fault

Hey at least we can all expect lots of extra days off because "GitHub is down" once they're done with that migration!

I dunno man, if you see response code 404 and start looking into network errors, you need to read up on http response codes. there is no way a network error results in a 404

I've decided math isn't my thing. The first part of the article I couldn't stop thinking "how the hell would you construct a banana filter?" And the entire smoothie metaphor seemed to describe nothing at all. Then t

Say what you will about the EU, but they figured out how to scale corporate fines correctly: max 10% of owning entities annual income.

Ideally, you'd run your own instance of this, I think. I can see a product where you purchase a model that has basic training, and then, using the features outlined in the paper, it learns on the fly from your usage. I can also see the

Huh. Interesting solution! I've always thought the only way to make an API idempotent was to not expose "adding" endpoints. That is, instead of exposing a endpoint "addvalue(n)" you would have setvalue(n)". Any

With digital ID, they don't either.. You just have no clue what you're on about and it shows

This just shows you have no idea what you're talking about. Why would a porn site pay ten cents per visitor to get a legally binding id of its visitors? But even more importantly, why would anyone sign it? Y'all seem to think digi

I think it's awesome! Try lying about your wealth during an election in Sweden! Did trump's tax filings ever get published by the way? I recall there was a lot of outcry for them during the last election cycle........

Hi I'm from Sweden. You shouldn't believe everything they say on YouTube. Also, the Bible is mostly lies, don't trust that either. I'm sure some idiot put a dog microchip in their hand for shits and giggles, but so what?

If course I'm allowed to use alternative logins. And besides, there are at least 2 generally accepted digital ID solutions in Sweden. BankID is older and more popular, but there's also Freja (I had to open the tax authorities logi

Since you're talking about scams, let's look at some statistics: https://www.statista.com/chart/33872/estimated-average-losse... I believe you'll find that no ID, which is the American approach, is,

My hottest take on this is that it might be healthy for the business. During the recent boom everyone and their grandmother's dog got a job as software engineers, and some aren't really fit for it. AI provides a bar. You need to b

But my digital ID is in addition of my physical one, it's not a replacement. It provides convenience, and the only thing I'd lose of it was hypothetically revoked(the government has no such powers, and are unlikely to gain them, m

HOW would this hypothetical person use it against you? It's a driver's licence infringing on my privacy too? Cause they're mostly the same, at least the way they're implemented in Sweden

You still haven't presented even a weak argument for how it infringes on privacy. You just said "privacy" and pretended that's an argument

Yeah but the US was never a full democracy. Part of the problem with the US is that the president has way too much power to begin with. If trump was elected prime minister of Sweden, he wouldn't have been able to do half the stuff he&#

How so? In Sweden we have digital ID and it's great! Super practical and I struggle to think of how it would be used to spy on citizens, given that it has the same legal protections as banks have regarding your account transactions etc
