I, at least, literally made my own keyboard layout some years ago, to be able to type all the characters I want. Got versions both for Linux and Windows (haven't had a need to use Mac yet).

It's basically an extension of US International which can type every letter in all the Latin based alphabets and most of the common punctuations, including hyphens, hyphen-minuses, en-dashes, and em-dashed.

Never found room for all the Greek letters, though.


Yes, I hear lots of people saying Tesla's "FSD" product can drive by itself already.

Yet if the car crashes while in FSD mode, it is still you who are legally the driver and you who will be responsible. You are the driver, regardless of what the name of the car's software is.

This can be contrasted with e.g. Mercedes' offering, which is actually self-driving, and where Mercedes is responsible if the car crashes (The limitation in that case, of course, is the very limited roads and conditions where that software will actually be enabled.).

So, yes: Until Tesla (or someone else) actually takes responsibility while the car drives itself, and the "driver" is legally just a passenger, it is not a fully self-driving car. If you ever take your attention away from the road while using FSD you are breaking the law, which says that as the driver, you must always pay attention.

Were you aware they're already doing exactly this in Austin and Dallas?


Yeah, there's ~40 of them in Dallas, and they're highly geofenced.

Seems pretty small for a platform they're so confident about.


They've also had multiple crashes in very few miles driven.


Feels like we do these rather often? Tons of people can comment with whatever they're using which they feel are great, and others can tell of their experiences with using the same and not being impressed. It's a rather endless list...

But to answer seriously: Have you tried KDE Plasma as a desktop environment? I think Fedora's KDE spin is among the better options for a distro: https://fedoraproject.org/kde/download

I personally think it's the best desktop experience, and always miss it when having to use Windows at work. I've never really worked with Macs.


Inheritance tax is usually only on values above a certain point, though. That point can easily be set reasonable high – say, 5% tax on all inheritance above €2M, and 40% on all inheritance above €10M, and normal families would hardly be affected.


In theory, it is nice; however, valuing assets is not easy, especially for the whole population. This arbitrariness clashes with the principle of equal rights in most constitutions. On the other hand, taxing income is very easy since the number has a precise origin.


What, are you not impressed by us putting retired politicians into an independent committee according to their party's political power in parliament??

Are you suggesting that the committee should consist of some kind of qualified experts instead of non-competent politicians?!

Preposterous. Typically of a Swede.

(To be fair to Nobel himself, the world was a bit different when he authored his testament, and Norway was relatively innocent still.)


The final nominations are received in January...


Did not realize this, you are correct. I thought nominations were accepted until late in the year since so many people were "nominating" Trump, even before the middle east thing.

But I am confused, Obama got his prize in 2009, which would mean he did not receive it for anything he did as president, and before that he was only domestically focused, afaik.

edit - I also see from other comments that people were placing bets on trump for the prize, which would not make sense if he had to be nominated by 1/31


Perhaps. But put another way:

Writing code is artistic the same way writing text is.

Whether that is a function call, an ad, a screen script, a newspaper article, or a chapter in a paperback the writer has to know what one wants to communicate, who the audience/users will be, the flow of the text, and how understandable it will be.

Most professionally engaged writers get paid for their output, but many more simply write because they want to, and it gives them pleasure. While I'm sure the jobs can be both monetarily and intellectually rewarding, I have yet to see people who do plumbing or electrical work for fun?


It's Plato's cave:

We train the models on what are basically shadows, and they learn how to pattern match the shadows.

But the shadows are only depictions of the real world, and the LLMs never learn about that.


But the same is true for human, we get our information though our senses we do not have the __real__ word directly.


We do much more than LLMs have. We have bodies and feelings.

Strangely enough Russia (and their predecessors) and Norway has never been at war. Ever.

Not that the past is a predictor of the future, of course, and Putin is operating quite a few spies and saboteurs here too.

But having both Sweden and Finland with us makes it rather unlikely they would get anywhere near the Fen area. :p


Russia did 'liberate' norway during ww2 and tried to drag it unde it's influence. It's not war per se but still
