I don't think it's a UTF-8 problem. It's just that most people don't have "Å" on their keyboard.

> most people don't have

Many people don't know.

  cat /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose | grep Å

  <dead_abovering> <A>       : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
  <Multi_key> <o> <A>        : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
  <Multi_key> <asterisk> <A> : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
  <Multi_key> <A> <asterisk> : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
  <Multi_key> <A> <A>        : "Å"   Aring # LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE

Å - long press "a" on the ios keyboard and you get a whole list, slide your finger to the one you want, and let go.

tips in linux, remap altgr to compose and enjoy glyphs

Most people don’t have “é” on their keyboard, yet they still spell “fiancée”.

They only do if autocorrect allows it

Do they? Other than like the new yorker?

On mac this is just Opt + A

They are 2 different services, run by different people, one goes out of their way to bypass paywalls while the other doesn't, one is banned by Wikipedia and the other isn't, etc.

I think it's a distinction worth making.

Not to mention that the Wayback Machine itself isn't exactly a good tool to bypass paywalls as most paid sites don't let them archive paywalled content anyway.


They need access to sites to archive them. It's already hard to do it as it is, imagine if they start selling access to content. They'd be shooting themselves on the foot, independently of what the law says.

How many apple seeds do you need to eat to get to that point?

As linked in the original article - says 150 seeds to a few thousand depending on the apple variety.


I don't find it hard to believe that eventually some AI may kill a number of humans.

You give it instructions to do something, it goes off the rails and after a certain point starts having like malware, destroying things to accomplish its goal. Depending on what it destroys, it may kill humans.

With this said, I'm not exactly in disagreement with the view that AI companies with upcoming IPOs are using fearmongering to convince people that their models are very powerful and to also block others from competing with them.


Maybe when we have actual artificial intelligence which LLMs are clearly not.

I think the Hugging Face attack is just a preview of what's to come. It doesn't need to be very intelligent to cause serious issues.

This seems to be a very powerful way to contribute to OpenStreetMap, but I'm not sure if it's the right option for a new user.

I have over 2k contributions and most are from the Every Door app ( https://every-door.app/ ) on my phone.

If adding new data is too "scary", then maybe use StreetComplete ( https://streetcomplete.app/ ) which essentially asks questions about missing or existing old data.

I've added buildings, fixed layouts, etc, but that came later, after I better understood how things work.


I've taken StreetComplete with me on walks around my neighborhood and on a few vacations. It was really easy to submit data for missing items.

I did my first contributions last week with it. Really easy and the UI is simple and nice.

Thanks, I was on the fence but downloaded StreetComplete yesterday and made a couple edits in my neighborhood. Still need to install StreetMeasure and some parts of the UX I still need to get used to. I was surprised by the low number of contributors in my country though.

Kagi seems to heavily rely on Yandex for results. I don't use it, so can't compare, but are results much better than using Yandex directly?

I'd say that the ranking, and thus the relevance, is noticeably higher. If I know what I want to find, Kagi is good at surfacing exactly that, not something vaguely related.

I see, thanks.

Kagi was using Yandex, it comes up on every Kagi post here. Seems that they've removed that info from their site now though...

I'm not sure if it's really a "trump agenda". The ideas didn't start with him, the people who voted for said ideas aren't going to suddenly disappear, and this is his second term.

It looks more like part of the new normal from the outside, and that's why things are changing. A country can't go from reliable to unreliable partner every 4 years without any consequences.


Even the people that voted for Trump didn't sign up for this, which is why his approval ratings are terrible even by historic standards. He didn't run on a platform of "attack Canada and suck up to Putin". Most Americans are very pro-European. Most of the voting population has living memory of the cold war.

As to what happens post-Trump, it's anyone's guess. I expect a hard reset. Markets have short memories, as they say.


Not to the same extent, but during his first term, his administration had issues with Canada, Mexico, Europe/UK, NATO, China, etc. Tariffs were a thing back then already. And he was elected again. Clearly it wasn't a huge issue for those who are bothered to go out and vote.

In any case, for everyone else, it's the second time in 10 years that they have to play the waiting game until it's over. It's good to be optimistic, but when you're in charge of a country, you can't just plan for the best and rely on hope alone. Same if you run a company or and even with services you as individual use.

Regarding memories, I don't know about the markets, but in Europe I think it will take a few years for everyone to forget that in 2026 Denmark had to transfer blood reserves to Greenland and that different European countries deployed tripwire forces because of... the US of A. Do you know who triggers similar responses? Russia, when they start saying that their borders are fluid.


Hedging your country’s future on American presidential approval numbers is political suicide in Europe, as it rightly should be.

Something changed because Apple Weather has never been as accurate as Dark Sky for me, especially for rain forecast.

I used to be able to go on walks without an umbrella because of how reliable it was at predicting when rain was going to restart. If I do that with Apple Weather, I get home wet.
