So has inflation, and the cost of living.

I can only speak for the two countries I've lived in (Finland & UK) and society is not amenable to privatisation in either. In the UK pretty much everything that has been privatised has been ruined (water, energy, transport) with h

No, the taxes we pay are going to private institutions driven by profit instead of into funding public institutions that don't have this self-interest. This is not a model I support.

In my part of the Nordics (Finland) they are cutting investment and sending people to private institutions. In rural areas private providers have entirely replaced public sector healthcare centers. This is seen as quite controversial across

Sure. But is that the society we want to live in. Do we not have ambitions to have people work less, enjoy what little life they have more? I'm not saying this is an economically easy problem to solve, but we focus so much on economics

No. I am suggesting that governments invest more into ensuring their aging population is healthy instead of draining every bit of life from them by making them work later and later.

I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’m based in the Nordics and my estimated retirement age at the moment (where I can get my state pension) is 67y 4m. Whilst I understand the burden the aging population is having on society (lifespan) it

Yes I discovered this, this weekend. As you mention, that relies on it being your native language. But it's absurd that if I'm in driving in a foreign country it would attempt to read the names of the streets in your own language&

I live in Finland where they have two native languages: Finnish & Swedish. In a lot of places you'll see both the Finnish & Swedish place name on road signs. Without getting into politics, it's a good assumption to assume

I've spent five minutes now, to no avail, trying to find a link to this website.

They are dropping some hints about a larger model and something relating to open models in the final paragraph: > With the launches of Mistral Small in March and Mistral Medium today, it’s no secret that we’re working on something ‘large

I find it absolutely astonishing that Atlassian hasn’t yet provided an LLM for confluence instances and instead a third party is required. The sheer scale of documentation and information I’ve seen at some organisations I’ve worked with is

You’re kidding right? The overwhelming majority of people do NOT use X or have accounts there. We are in a bubble. (Not making a Musk point here as it was the same before the “exodus”)

Is there any reason you couldn’t render the pixels to the screen as opposed to a constantly updated image (which as the docs note is terminal choice limiting)

On the other hand a huge number of countries have the whole Easter holiday off. Plenty of time to read these articles and sign up to stuff.

I highly suspect that this is a Levoit air purifier. I recently purchased a Levoit 300S and had the same issue. The VeSync app connects the device directly over the internet and you can control it via an API on their domain with a username

It's in fact the market position (leader) that gives them the advantage here, not the code.

Venues claiming immigrants in the UK disproportionately consume resources often exhibit far-right traits. They rely on nationalist framing, selectively citing NHS or welfare burdens while omitting immigrant tax contributions and economic va

Well the BBC mostly are reporting and have to be very careful what they say due to neutrality laws governing them. However, tune in to Question Time and you will hear these voices.

You could say that about many other European countries though. Outside of the capitals life is different. Wealth always centralises around capitals. It’s literally called a capital city.

London is not representative of the rest of the UK. It’s about 11% of the population, consisting of numerous councils and boroughs with different demographics and “upkeep”.

It is absolutely untrue that this isn’t a talking point. It’s all the far right and tabloid newspapers talk about.

I'd like to see a world where the JS community focused more on improving the stdlib across the browser and in nodejs - much like bun is doing. Common packages for node such as mysql2, axios etc. are so widely used and are huge attack v

They’d take that into account when relaying information. Poisoning LLMs is well documented.

The main issue is going to be around the corner. As more and more people use CNAME cloaking to do server-side tracking using GTM (etc.), it will be a cat and mouse game to block it (and other networks). uBlock Lite cannot uncloak these CNAM

This isn't the problem though. The problem is they have completely pivoted in this other direction and are working on a new browser. It will only be a matter of time before they abandon Arc and then you won't get the security fixe
