Other than sugar none of those are spices used for food.

And even sugar became much less commonly used to in Europe.

The wildest thing about European colonialism is that it was kicked off to get more spices for European food. Then in the worlds most bizarre twist European food gave up all spices a few centuries later and colonies had to invent something else to sell back to the colonial centre.

That's the third major use of the printing press.

The first was for catholic indulgences.

The second was for religious propaganda during the European wars of religion.

As we have seen here it won't be a Western company that saves us from the dominant monopoly.

Xi Jinping, you're our only hope.

Hate is too weak a term for what I feel for Adobe.

Adobe kept PDF as a proprietary format from 1992 to 2008. You got the reader for free ... on windows, with a single executable. You didn't get an editor and had to pay through the nose for one from Adobe.

It wasn't until the late 2010s that it actually became a free-ish standard, if you think that a 3,500 page document is a 'standard'.

The only reason why adobe did it is because djvu was eating their lunch, between 2002 and 2008 it was the defacto standard for scanned documents in academia. The documents were easy to edit. The image compression is still better than the native compression on PDF.

To add insult to injury after displacing postscript on windows in the name of security, not only did they add a scripting language to PDF, they added one written in two weeks at a time when it was so bad no one used it for anything but pop-ups and with more security vulnerabilities than you could shake a stick at. I suppose we should be happy Adobe didn't put flash in. Oh wait, they did: https://www.reddit.com/r/Adobe/comments/yqisho/flash_content...

We had that language, it was postscript.

Then pdf came along and said: no this is too dangerous the only thing in a document should be layout information not arbitrary code.

And here we are two decades later.

My hatred of pdf has no end. It killed postscript for dynamic pages and djvu for static pages.

Markdown is a very poor language to try and use for anything other than single column typewriter like text.

As evidenced by the fact that every project which uses it for more than that adds arbitrary extensions.

The minimum viable language for non-mathematical technical documentation is reStructuredText.

For those wondering what the state of the art is, I did this in 10 min between meetings.

The most challenging thing was getting the right indexing on the lists since it could be an empty list, a list with a single value, or any number of values.

    from ultralytics import YOLO
    
    model = YOLO("yolov10x.pt")
    results = model("birds/*", classes=[14])
    
    for result in results:
        if 14 in list(result.boxes.cls):
            print("Bird!")
        else:
            print("Not Bird")
I will now take my 5 billion dollar please.

Ironically enough the meeting I'm going in to is to explain why I need to use $100,000 worth of hardware for three months before I can answer the business side if what they want to do is possible or not.

Bird is in the default COCO dataset. I haven't look for birds in images, but for people yolov10 is fewer lines of code to detect if there is someone in the frame than it is to setup a flask server for the API calls.

Taking a swipe at Musk in an article about dating isn't any less weird.

I don't know, ask the guardian why they had to take a swipe at free speech in an article about dating.

>Prior to 1910, for every 1,000 babies born in the United States, 165 died before their first birthday (Newmayer 1911).

https://www.demogr.mpg.de/papers/working/wp-2011-005.pdf

Today it is at 5 per 1,000.

Please read a history book before you start supporting a reset to what we used to have.

>Having fewer bridges means that inevitable when they collapse, there will be far more victims and the event will be catastrophic.

I honestly don't even know where to start with this.

Using regulatory capture as an excuse why we can't stop babies from eating lead is the most brain dead take from the American left since they replaced class with race.

You can't make houses cheap without bound either, you turn them into death traps quite quickly.

Everything related to personal data is currently at the slum without firecodes level. But it also has a few unregulated nuclear reactors in the mix.
