Being from the EU for me all trains are electric (except many in Germany only) so I do not feel any special excitement but observe a thing: the idea of all wagon individually powered is ancient, very ancient, like monorails. Both ideas neve

Very right indeed, maybe then: - GUI :: graphical UI, typically NOT easy to mold by the end users, mostly widget based UIs, as their main characteristic or the user of them is more a consumer than a producer of something; - CLI :: a REPL, t

To me the issue is what people read in data. There are many suffering numberitis or they trust ANY number or "data" completely ignoring how it was established, errors and so on. Some even read the summary of an article stating the

Well... CLI is Command Line Interface, or a classic ./name --options reading output in a terminal and writing options, piping to other tools to tweak the output. It's good for some usages, and for scripting, but not much for event

Personally I use a hybrid, or Emacs under X11, witch is arguably a GUI but also text-based and why for me is because of: - integration :: I can create in a single keypress (bind to org-store-link) a link to be inserted in a note (another si

IMVHO the IT crisis is the cleptocracy crisis. I mean for business reasons there was and still is an immense push toward cloud+mobile, and archaic mainframe model even worse than the original one, and now a push toward ML for stuff ML is us

Personally I think the limitation of keyword search it's not in the model per se but in the human langue: we have synonymous witch are relatively easy to handle but we also have gazillion of different way to express the very same conce

The point is that the holistic approach can't work because there no "single complex system" but "many individual actors" under our control: we can't program the world, we can only program some specific actor be

Since journals "review" are know to be broken, my curiosity is simply why not ALL universities talk to each others to suddenly ALL cancel ALL their subscriptions offering a federated hosting services and open peer-review process.

It's not a matter of trust in institutions, but a matter of ability to know, not the company but you, that your data are mishandled. How can I know that an Alphabet sysadmin do not use my mails? I can only know because Alphabet state i

Well, yes DC is unsafe because if you get electrocuted instead of being "pushed out" you get "attached" to the conductors, but if you have a p.v. inverter at home you already have a 400V DC line from the module to the in

Well, a simple example: essentially all banks at least inside a nation have some standard open APIs, typically signed XML or JSON, to exchange transactions. In the EU/SEPA for instance is OpenBank API. All banks by laws support it and

ML is born in two master branches, one it's image manipulation, where video manipulation follow, another is textual search and generation toward the saint Graal of semantic search. The first was started with simple non-ML image manipul

The point is about instant power injected, not energy, the point is that keep an AC grid at the right frequency it's a tricky business because energy production and consumption must match. Too much from production the frequency skyrock

It's worst actually, at least in France, if you inject to the grid you have to pay an "energy transport fee", even if you inject for free (only recently self-made systems are allowed to sell energy, before they can only donat
