Looks like a great news. Moreover, kids may learn how old school Internet works rather than being stuck in an algorithm bubble

Have you heard about the AIhorde project by the DBzero community ?

What's your target audience ? An what's the goal ?

There is a difference between Giving a programming training to scientist/engineer who may need more than just Excel for data-processing/visualisation, and giving a discovery what programming looks-like for a general public, or people who want to do their own website.

For general public, the good-old "Logo" that kids learned programming with in the 70-90's is still great

for scientists engineer, I would go for python which is the de-facto standard for data visualisation/processing when performance doesn't matter

For a more foundation course, I think the everything is object approach in java can be pretty great

putting them on display in museums would make them less available for study.

Very often, it's the other way around, museum are a storage plage for scientific/historical/artistic artifact and the be in display is a bonus.

Government own many objects that have an important historical value, and they can't sell them (beside law, imagine the scandal if the French gov sell the mona Lisa or if US gov sell Neil amstrong spacesuit) so better having them in public display

Same question as when France did a similar announcement. What is the difference between an enlisted and someone who does a voluntary service. And how to not end up with a bunch of underpaid, and undertrained soldiers replacing regular soldiers? Which sounds like a great way to weaken our defence

Had a similar issues, and could contact a mod with an alt account to get unbanned, but indeed looks like they used a nuke to kill a Goblin.

Also, I still don't get the point for bot to post "engaging content". At worst it's a bit too cliché you wake up in the body of the last person you ask with or too rage-baity Say something good or bad about Israel but it's not like karma is worth something here.

I've seen restaurant where you need to order on a smartphone. That's just ridiculous

Most of things that are "smart" dont need to be. Why does a fridge, toaster, TV, matress or oven need to be connected to the internet??! For what?!

I've recently seen an add stating that, big brand washing machine have WiFi, we have quality and low pricesbut indeed, it's getting crazy, and what happens when you change ISP?

Translation is expensive, it needs to not only to translate the story but the author's style and pun. A niche book won't be translated, especially in smaller languages (you have a bigger market when you translate in Spanish/French/German than when you translate in Luxemburgish or Nepalese). With that regard, english-language writer have the advantage of using a language that many can read, giving publishing company a glimpse of the translation potential.

With the power of "LLM" and translation app like deepl, it may work better in the future. However, at the moment, deepl is far from giving a professional grade results, especially when you have ambiguous word or a "specific but uncommon context". It work to share a blog-post/news article, but won't be sufficient to get fun to read book or an usable technical manual (However, corporate legal department may have a different opinion, it will be an interesting trial the day an accident occur due to an ambiguity in an automated translation)

Bass in music. If the bass play right, you don't hear it, but if they miss or play wrong there is immediately something missing
