I don't understand why the British government's solution is to impose orders on British ISPs as they have done with other websites that they want to block, rather than try to impose on a company based in another country.

What you are describing sounds like the behaviour of someone who is passionate, righteous and perhaps obsessed. That is not the case in the case of Michael Novati according to Lars Lofgren's post. He is claiming that Novati's Redd

That simulated personal computer for a TV character actually sounds really cool. I love the idea that the environment would change from week to week with each new episode. What was the TV show?

My Australian Geography teacher (in the UK) had an upside-down map and anti-clockwise clock on the wall and told us that was how all maps and clocks were in Australia. We might not have been convinced, but it certainly gave a different pers

It would be very helpful to document the version number of the Photos app that demonstrates this behaviour so anyone else who is affected can use this article to keep track of potential fixes.

What ideas do you employ around security? Do apps have full access to memory? To hardware? Is there a permissions system? Sorry I'm not that familiar with how microkernels work.

Even if Trump does not respect the view of the courts, some of those working under him do. They can be held liable if they proceed to violate a court order. If they can be given a legal justification for the orders they are given, it makes

You need to update your world model. Trump would very much like to officially declare war with Venezuela because it gives him certain wartime authorities (such as the Alien Enemies Act and the Insurrection Act) which he can use to to deport

Authors use humour as a form of connection with their audience. It's a way of saying hey I'm a human and I have the same human experiences as you dear reader. Take the first paragraph for example: > Wednesday, 11:15 AM. I'

Do you not think social and ethical issues can be approached rationally? To me it sounds like Tao is concerned about the cost of running AI powered solutions and I can quite easily see how the ethical and social costs fit under that umbrell

Not sure why you think that? One of their biggest sales pitches to businesses is the potential for their products to replace certain job roles in the future. Why wouldn't they be actively doing research on real-world usage and impact r

Yes indeed the London underground does use regenerative braking on many of their lines. The cool thing about a direct rail power system is that the voltage generated from trains that are braking can be fed back into the power rail to instan

Your source doesn't consider non-plug-in hybrids also known as HEVs because zapmap are a company that sell charging services. The number of HEVs in the UK is about twice the the number of PHEVs so the total number of hybrids is still h

This would be best implemented inline with the textbox of the comment form. If you want to give people feedback on their grammar then do it while they are actually writing - not after. Otherwise you just make an already hard to follow threa

And you will because "entrepreneurial" chains like Hyatt will lower their prices thanks to the additional revenue they get from this and other unexpected charges in order to attract more customers.

Assuming your 0.034% figure is correct, then one solar mass is equivalent to 2941 lifetimes of a sun's output, not 30. So 15 solar masses would be more like 44115 solar-lifetimes.

Yes, very strange. There's no problem with using AI to build your first app and leaving the generated comments in the code is fine. But the number of comments on this thread that begin "This is so cool" is very suspicious.

Honestly, if there were any fans of Musk after he imitated a Nazi salute, I don't think their perception of him has much further room to sink.

Thanks - it seems that Gemini Live is pretty far behind advanced voice mode at the moment. For example, I can't get it to speak slower when I want to understand what it is saying. I'm still interested in what keyword I could use t

I'm interested in potential alternatives to ChatGPT's advanced voice mode. When I see the word "multimodal" I'm hopeful the model understands text + voice but instead it almost always seems to refer to text + images

I am not certain that I agree with this. If there are alternative ways of solving a problem that we're not taken then these should be documented in comments. A mantra I try to tell myself and my colleagues is if information exists in y
