@ricmac If not that, then perhaps they'll realize that the semantics of html tags don't match up with their needs, and they'll want extensible language of markup.

@preservaAV Good day to you too from Germany!

So yeah, Smith set the foundations of economics so firmly in the Enlightenment that they're still, for the most part, stuck there today: in the incredible hubris that maintains that all of human experience can be apprehended by a white man sitting in an armchair.

@libertyoftheforest0 @gabrielesvelto Yes! All 6 year olds should be allowed to drink & drive (although not at the same time).

@lain_7 @moof @4censord @sophie Using s=0.59c as the signal propagation rate of copper, Δt=10°C, and 17.6ppm/°C as the coefficient of expansion of copper, a 1km transmission line would see an additional 1ns delay when heated. (100ns for 100km and so on)So clearly with plenty of wire and a dedicated measurement setup you could measure it.(I was unable to find whether there's a temperature dependence to signal propagation rate in copper conductor nor do I have a good intuition as to why there should or shouldn't be. however this paper reviews two additional temperature-dependent factors:https://www.haystack.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/memo_mark-5_067.pdfsuch as phase delay due to changes in impedance)Measuring it incidentally using network traffic seems harder. On less than 10m of cable (& 1 intervening network switch) my ping time standard deviation is 31us on 1000 packets. You'd need many measurements (and a very stable local timebase, not just a standard crystal oscillator) to find a nanosecond-level variation in transmission time through statistics on ping times. would love to hear more about whether & how this has actually been measured!

@Draconic_NEO @nini We like fan art...

@GrapheneOS thanks a lot for all the answers. I will wait for the new version which should work on GrapheneOS. What are the risks by disable secure spawning?

@lisamelton@mastodon.social @the5thColumnist@ottawa.placeThey definitely won't be getting rich if nothing works and nobody wants what they offer

@_L1vY_ Maybe someone will put a stop to that company

@dfyx @david_chisnall or translation might not be one: I learned of an example today (English -> French where the word "digit" got translated as "chiffre" (numerical digit) instead of "doigt" = "finger" that the original was talking about (in the context of workplace safety).

@NewtonMark @wall_e @pluralistic So roughly washing-machine or stove sized, with associated dedicated breaker box?

@bauhausmensch wirklich schade! Die und die Eigenmarken-Hafermilch von DM (Rossmann gibt's hier weit und breit keinen) waren meine liebsten! Und Penny ist der einzige fußläufige Supermarkt. @genominc

@ditsch42 @MeierSchulze Oder liegen so offensichtlich und direkt ganz oben drauf, dass man hinterher glaubt: da will mich wer veräppeln!

@NicksWorld @mcourcel @boogiechild hope you do accept the position.

@davidgerard I think the "AI" bubble is one of the more obvious aspects of a long-developing system of social crises coming to a head. "GenAI" is bent on absorbing everything and turning it into slime.I think there may be opportunities coming out of its inevitable collapse. Part of the difficulty for any radical movement has been that any success gets co-opted or integrated; nothing remains ours. A positive response to the collapse of the "AI" bubble would have to be concerned with things like authenticity and human dignity, with resisting that co-optation.In cyberpunk, the point is the oppressed survive. We want thriving, not just survival, of course.There are also the reactionary responses, fantasies of return to an idealized past. Fascism is a species of reaction, that embraces aspects of the new, but older forms of reaction will likely become more prominent. I imagine decades to come will be filled with grief and profound loss, but some hope if we work towards it.

@ireneista @OrionKidder @koen_hufkens That's where it starts. "Oh, just a little vanilla", you tell yourself. But you can't stop. You need more. MORE. Eventually vanilla becomes normal. Bland. You need the harder stuff. Before you know it you're adding... cinnamon.

@graydon @mitch @lasagne @pluralistic Yup. Trump is a symptom not a cause, much as Louis XVI was a symptom, not a cause (of the decay of the French monarchy leading to the point of fiscal crisis and revolution).

@0xabad1dea reminds me of Doug Zonker's foundational academic paper "Chicken Chicken Chicken: Chicken Chicken". https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf

@jwildeboer was unaware of any such attack until reading this post lol
