This is definitely the same recording. (However, I think there's also another snipped of H.'s private voice, recorded at the "Berghof".)

Mind that planned economy was not a Marxist institution or invention, rather, it was a carbon copy of the economic system of the (conservative) Germany empire in WW1, which had shown some impressive p…

Opposing origin narrative: The prewar, Christian "Paneuropa" movement. (There's even an obscure arguement over the matter, whether the 12 golden stars emblem on blue background is an em…

Hum, the governments of the member states convene in the European Council, actually. (The Commission is more like a civil servants organisation, second rank to this and in delicate balance with the Eu…

For most of the time, the Commission seemed to be a reasonable (as in "voice of reason") counterweight to regional governments and their insanities. Having said that, the EU appears to be we…

In positive law, it's literally "nothing exists outside the constitution". So, if the constitution is an unknown quantity, there is no rule of law. Now, if there is a constitution, but …

This generally applies to executive documents. I fail to see how the same could apply to a constitution. (E.g., one might imagine a secret section that nullifies the publicly visible constitution in i…

What may be relevant in this context is the observation that models ultimately converge on their dataset: > trained on the same dataset for long enough, pretty much every model with enough weights…

I think, the believe in what is essentially people flocking around certain "condensation particles" of information as those opinions and biases being actually produced by those (mis)informat…

Hum, BSD is still very much around.

Well, it may be that I'm biased against that kind of advertising – and that this may be a mutual affair. At least, it doesn't work for me, like most recommendation algorithms. I do feel lock…

So, because they are likely to commit a much more severe crime, we must let them violating these regulations? Isn't this already a high-risk lock-in? Also, behavioural tracking is by no means the…

On the other hand, the business of data brokers is effectively selling such profiles. It would be crazy, if the wouldn't… (Mind that this isn't about Meta in particular, it's just that …

Hum, if these behavioural profiles and assessments spill over to financial institutions, employment, housing, (private) education, etc., these harmless "companies & entrepreneurs" may ha…

I found this rather ironic: > Market research shows younger generations are pivoting to analog devices, like wired headphones and CDs. (Well, an iPod is as analog as a CD and it does feature wired …

Hum, given that the Apple Silicon processors use unified memory and a general cache (and that some of their performance has been attributed to what was then deemed an innovative memory and cache archi…

Notably, the paper suggests that Webkit is even more hardened: > Taking this approach a step further, Safari follows a simple one process per tab model, where two web- pages are never consolidated…

I'm not entirely sure about this. The paper mentions that in Chrome and Firefox "different rendering processes handle pages with different effective top-level domain plus one sub-domain (eT…

Please correct me, if I'm misinterpreting this, but is the framing regarding Webkit-only actually correct? The cache exploit seems to be a general one: > Here, we show that our attacks have n…

Also, mind how the subject shifts from "she", the lawyer, to "I", the businessman in first person, and back again.

So they should, by the same standards, fire the AI and start all over again, which may introduce a significant incentive for getting it right the next time?

This is pretty interesting in the context of how how we look at and think of (written) words. Thank you!

Marginal nitpick: The image for the Artifort F549 Tulip Midi shows Pierre Paulin's Little Tulip , 1965 for Artifort. The stills, however, do show the Tulip Midi.

It's that I do not understand the "citation needed" annotation applied to "Arabic", because of the very reasons, you mentioned. (What kind of mindset is behind this?)

"Citation needed" for "Aarbic" is Wikipedia at its best! ;-) (Especially in the given context, where this specifically refers to "unvocalised Arabic", which implies that …

Regarding the desktop metaphor: Magic Cap is actually not a good example for the desktop metaphor in its original sense, which is really about a stack of overlapping documents (windows). The desktop m…
