Posting an unlisted video is a bit like hiding your notes under a bush in a public park. It's not an invitation, but it's not in a filing cabinet in your home either. Nobody is obligated to not read your notes nor are they obligated to not tell friends "some clown hid his private documents under that bush" or even put up a sign saying "some dude's private papers are under this bush".

If you don't want your private papers read, don't hide them under a bush in the park.

I'll go one further, Disney trying to cram ESPN into every streaming and cable package is just wrong. I have noticed that any package that includes ESPN is almost automatically 4 times more expensive than any package without it. ESPN is way over-priced.

That's not just an "I don't like sportsball" rant. I do like baseball. I *DO NOT* like ESPN's coverage of baseball. I have seen games where the announcers don't seem to know anything about baseball. I have seen "coverage" where 3 announcers talk about basketball while a baseball game plays in the background. I hate when ESPN grabs a game played by a team I follow. I hate when ESPN grabs a game on a get away day and forces it to be moved from afternoon to prime time. Simply put, ESPN's coverage isn't worth a premium price.

I suspect (but cannot prove) that many sports fans would be happy if ESPN stopped grabbing games played by teams they follow so they could just watch the game on whatever more specialized package they got to follow their team. But then I guess ESPN would be relegated to covering the national tiddlywinks championship.

The one thing education can do for the talented people is quit bogging them down for 12 years in whatever the latest educational flavor of the day is. They don't need the kooky way math is approached now, they need the basics. Teach them addition, subtraction,multiplication, and division the way it was taught in the '70s, then point out a couple mental tricks. They'll then develop their own set of tricks that work for them doing math in their head.

The less talented will at least come out of it knowing how to add a column of numbers and figure out how much 5 apples will cost given the cost of one, which is more than they come out with now.

They claim they want parents to work with their children on homework, but then make it impossible by expecting the kids to do arithmatic in such an odd way that parents who are scientists or engineers can't make heads or tails of it. I see the confusion on reddit from time to time. Kid is asked to use repeated addition to solve 5x3. Kid writes 5+5+5=15. Teacher marks it wrong. No explanation. Turns out she wanted 3+3+3+3+3=15.

So now Dad, an engineer, can't help with 2nd grade math and kid learns he is "bad at math" even though he got the right answer on every question.

Think of the traffic on the Mississippi, Ohio and Missouri rivers, then extend that throughout 2/3 of the country and make that transit 2-way rather than mostly from upstream to downstream. I'm pretty sure they're ahead.

China recognizes over 200 languages and something like 180 ethnicities, they're one of the most diverse countries on the planet (either second or third, depending on how India counts their ethnicities). IIRC Russia is fourth, with around 100 languages spoken and almost that many ethnicities.

The pipeline is for natural gas, which is extremely important not only for electrical generation but for making fertilizer.

If that CEO thinks the behaviors of the LLMs are "super smart", then I really wonder about his level of intelligence...

IT's certainly novel and different and can handle sorts of things that were formerly essentially out of reach of computers, but they are very much not "smart".

Processing that is dumb but with more human-like flexibility can certainly be useful, but don't expect people to be in awe of some super intelligence when they deal with something that seems to get basic things incorrect, asserts such incorrect things confidently, and doubles down on the same mistakes after being steered toward admitting the mistakes by interaction. I know, I also described how executives work too, but most of us aren't convinced that executives have human intelligence either.

Sorry, but poor excuse for racism is poor and wrong.

Europe has far more tourism, especially to developing countries and does not have the same issue. This has also been going on for decades so if it were those evil foreigners, why is it only now just becoming a problem.

The answer is, it isn't the foreigners. The cause is the large anti-science and anti-vaccination movements that have sprung up in the last 20-30 years and have become particularly popular in the last 10. If we drew a Venn diagram of anti-vaxxers and racists we'd also find a lot of overlap.

"Free" clinics... What are you, some kind of Columnunist like those dang people over in You-Rope?

Poor people should die without medical care because they cant afford it... That's Freedom Fries health care. None of that caring about people, helping the sick or poor... That ain't in the bible.

If we don't stop this kind of thing now the next thing you'll they'll start demanding European style happiness.

I thought you were going to say that Linus is not a skyscraperator! Don't change the analogy mid-thread please, it's confusing!

That is the nature of bubbles. It's not all lemmings who jump the cliff. It's also hunters who think they are smart enough to stop just before the cliff edge. And then there's hunters who think the other hunters will fall anyway but they don't want to miss out and will be able to stop in time. The ones who stay home don't bring back any food.

That's a completely backwards view of the GDPR. It's easy to comply if you build your site from scratch. However, if you insist on using noncompliant infrastructure solutions to build your site, then of course you'll have headaches and software rewrites and annoying popup hacks. That's on you (or your boss). Alternatively, make the right design choices initially and you'll be fine.

You are clearly wrong on that. Ask yourself what the purpose of the GDPR is and it becomes very easy to write software from scratch that complies.

That's the end objective of everyone, everywhere, at all times. Never bet against integration.

Indeed, there are a great many trade secrets in the RF business. However, I expect all this to level out in the coming years. Physics provides a limited spectrum, and the unlicensed and licensed sides in this are already squabbling over what spectrum there is, because all the useful bands (<=6-7GHz) are now allocated, somehow, to one side or the other.

The Wi-Fi people understand this: Wi-Fi 7 already covers all the unlicensed spectrum that isn't still being squabbled over, and even some that is. Wi-Fi 8, therefore, doesn't deal in new spectrum—there isn't any to be had—instead focusing on refinements that improve efficiency, contention, stability, security, etc. That's all great, but it also belies the underlying reality that the future of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, et al., at least for mobile applications that have any useful range (there are much higher frequency bands, but the physics of attenuation limit the value of these,) is limited by spectrum.

So in the near term, all the players are going to max out the performance that physics allows in the spectrum available. It's a natural cork in the development pipeline. Notice, in the summary, the mention of MediaTek. That's a fabless Taiwanese company, ranking among the Broadcom's and Apple's of the world. They're all running up against the limits of physics and they'll all eventually achieve parity with one another as a result.
