Colors and color names are culture dependent, and you are not guaranteed that people in different cultures agree on what color something is.
The most famous of these discrepancies is Japan and green vs blue, or why does Jenkins by default use red, yellow and blue instead of red, yellow and green.
So I would urge using something other than colors as an example of shared human experience.
You're talking about culture and names, I am not. We all live in an objective reality where a red spectrum of light exists and we can differentiate among other colors.
This is the contention with the person I am replying to, they're acting as if objective reality doesn't exist. Humans can think, LLMs cannot.
If you can't admit to this there's nothing else worth discussing, but please don't mind my hands covering my wallet as I slowly back out of the room.
Some of us color-deficient people can’t. I only accept that stop signs are “red” because all the normies say it is. Your point stands, but color perception is not the best example for it.
It's my understanding that personal hotspot can only utilize the cellular connection for the internet side since the wifi connection is being used to connect clientside. If one is hoping to use hotel wifi rather than their cellular plan data, Apple's solution won't work.
Not only isn’t this or any other of the DMA features accessible in the USA, but Norway which is a member of the EEC and which therefore both have to and is in the process of ratifying the DMA. Don’t get this either.
That Apple is so petty that it blocks on legal technicalities like that, when everyone knows it is just a matter of time. Really sours me on the whole company.
When I used to be on call for Cisco WebEx services. I got paid extra, and got extra time of. Even if nothing happened. In addition we where enough people on the rotation, so I didn't have to do it that often.
I believe the rules varied based on jurisdiction, and I think some had worse deals, and some even better. But I was happy with our setup in Norway.
Tbh I do not think we would have had, what we had if it wasn't for the local laws and regulations. Sometimes worker friendly laws can be nice.
The current Russian regime believes in sphere of influence, and they view Ukraine, the baltics, at least some parts eastern europe, and probably more as a natural part of their sphere of influence.
This crashes with the western view where countries and populations have a right to self determination. Some of the countries that Russia want to fall under their sphere are also members of the EU, which make this even more problematic.
Seen from Moscow, EU and western countries have encroached on their turf and this is a problem for them. Seen from the western side, this is wrong, and if Russia is such a bad neighbor that its neighbor join defensive alliances to get out from under their thumb, that is their own fault, and the way the world is supposed to work.
Russia also has a geographic vulnerability where there is no geographic chokepoints from at least Poland and straight to Moscow, which historically has given Russia problems.
Give this, there is actually a rational for what Russia is doing, personally I think it is a bad rational, but there is logic in the madness, even if from my perspective, it is based on a deeply wrong world view.
> This crashes with the western view where countries and populations have a right to self determination.
It’s really time to retire this type of statement. For example, are you aware the CIA or US government has officially acknowledged its involvement, or declassified documents pertaining to coups, overthrows, and assassinations in Iran, the Congo, South Vietnam, Guatemala, Brazil, Chile, Afghanistan?
Maybe this enlightened point of view is promoted by Western academics and (some) think tank types. But that is not how Western governments have been acting for at least the past 75 years.
It's the idea that fraudulent elections in former Soviet states were not merely the result of fed-up populations, but were actually western backed conspiracies with the aim of eroding the Russian sphere of influence.
A bit off topic, but I find the tone of voice of ChatGPT with GPT5 really off-putting. While the antrophic models or even Le Chat. Sounds much better to me.
While the examples used in this article aren't that bad, OpenAI has to be more that just marginal better, to make me want to use it, when it "talks" like that.
In Norway the plates to owner database is public, and you can either use the free government service or for profit ones. To look them up.
Basically ownership of vehicles is not viewed as private information. So it isn’t covered by privacy legislation. But tracking where the car is, that is covered. That doesn’t stop, speed traps reading car plates, nor parking tracking with cameras. But that info can’t be sold for other purposes.
Interesting. That's not the case in most countries as far as I know - there isn't a way to look up a car owner from the plate (for free or for pay; law enforcement of course can look it up).
Income in Sweden is IIRC also public, perhaps in Norway too - and that's also private almost everywhere else.
This is a great idea, and worth doing.
An other option in Claude code, that can be worth trying, is the planning mode, which you start with ctrl+tab. Have it plan out what it's going to do, and keep iterating it, until the plan seems sound.
Tbh. I wish I've found the planning mode earlier, it's been such a great help.
What I use my digital id for, is services, where the provider needs to know that I am me.
I only use a small part of the services that we have in Norway that you can access with out digital id (BankID) solution, but those are useful for me, and I do not think all of them would exists without it.
For governmental services, I use it for things like logging into health care services. Where I've used it for checking my prescriptions, and communicating with my doctor. If I had kids I would have used it for contact with the school.
An other governmental use is tax filling and tax returns which comes around every year, and this is just scratching the surface.
When it comes to non governmental usage, it is mostly bank and bank adjacent usage. I do use it to log into my different banks, my stock broker, and insurance providers.
The solution we have in Norway, is not perfect and one of the persistent problems, are that not everyone can get one, and since it is used a lot by the government, not having it, makes you a bit of a second class citizen.
I do believe that they are finally doing something about that, and that the system will be redone a bit next year, so even if the banks don't like you. You will be able to get one.
