I think it’s a more global movement.

When I was recruited at my university in the early 2000s, every teacher had an ftp-accessible space with an http address like myuni.edu/~myname. The more techie ones did html, the fancier ones even added css. Muggles would export html from a Word document.

Then one day, the IT department decided to replace this with a “learning management system”. A wysiwyg platform with dozens of modules for videoconferencing courses, homework submission, online exams, and so forth.

Except that the user (the teacher) no longer has control over his or her personal space.

Yeah, you’re right, it doesn’t make sense to say that O(f(n)) is good or bad for any algorithm. It must be compared to the complexity of other algorithms which solve the same problem in the same conditions.

Singular Value Decomposition is widely used in machine learning, image processing, natural language processing, recommender algorithms…

Stable Video Diffusion is a good marketing name, but SVD is quite confusing from an academic point of view.

It’s not the best idea to call it SVD, as it already stands for Singular Value Decomposition.

Not only that. It’s also a means of long-term tax evasion, by storing works of art in a freeport.

I totally get that. For most people, watch history and relevant recommendations are indeed useful tools.

But if, for some reasons, you want to switch off these tools, the price to pay was a home page full of flashy clickbait miniatures. This terrible home page could have been an incentive to switch history on.

Now, it’s just a minimalistic google-ish search page. It’s an unexpected improvement when they could have done much worse, like a home page autoplaying ad videos, for example.

I don’t understand. Is this supposed to be an incentive to turn on watch history?

I’ve never heard of this. How is it linked to transhumanism? Is it a re-branding? A fork? An attempted to propose a moral stance to transhumanism? Unless they are two rival theories to think the future?

(I’m not a transhumanist)

I would use the language I know the best which provide a library that handles .dot files (Graphviz?) and I would check if the library has an internal data structure for the graphs.

I guess it would be adjacency matrice or adjacency lists.

Thank you for the article. Opaque struct is an interesting subject for people who want to go deeper into their understanding of C.

If I could add/emphasis two points to the article:

• FILE is a famous example of struct using this trick. So, even if yon don’t often need to develop an opaque struct in C, you certainly use such struct daily without knowing.

• you can’t declare a variable with an opaque type (because the compiler would need to know its size). Everything must be handled through pointers, and the library has to provide functions to allocate/destroy the struct, like fopen() and fclose() for FILE.

Still using Comic Mono, I really like it.

I’d just like to slightly increase the letter spacing. Some portions of code felt a bit too dense. Maybe I’ll try to tweak that after my vacation (as of today, 8 days without a computer)

Thank you for all these informations, and for the links.

I’m not a lawer, but the laws seems to have several exceptions which could be used by an authoritarian government. They just have to call their opponents violent or terrorists

Oh ! Thank you, I didn’t realized there was so many kind of laws !

Great news, but it’s only a first step. European political system is quite complex. Correct me if I’m wrong but the law has only been voted by the European Parliament, and now it has to be ratified by each country.

Personnal opinion: I don’t see the french government ratifying a text which would limits their authoritarian drift.

I tried that this morning at work, as a joke.

It was still there when I got off.
