Regarding the quality of mobile Internet here: I found out yesterday at the AT&T office that I’ve had only 3G since August, not 4G. They offered to upgrade to 4G for an additional 30 bucks, I declined. Everything works fine as it is, both video and audio.
By the way, I now have an iPhone X! Happy after Samsung Note 4, everything is fast and looks great

I feel that modern browsers lack the feature to “Discuss/comment on a page” with the ability to edit, comment, and review anything on it, contextually and multimedia-wise. Yes, it would require a smart system that remembers where edits were made, so that changes in the page do not lead to issues with linking the comment to a specific place, etc., but this is not very complex, and it is normal that it might not work on some systems (like SPA). On desktops, screens are becoming larger than what browsers need, and having an additional hideable panel for discussions, remarks would be simply invaluable. Wikipedia could be adapted for this purpose. I mean, the same idea: anyone can change another’s edits, but the latter will receive a notification, and can revert the edit, while the page author is just another participant.

To win an election, you don’t need a majority. It’s enough to have a carefully selected minority that influences groups of people, together forming a majority. The simplest and repeatedly tested method of influence is to ensure dependency on the aforementioned minority. From financial dependency to involvement in illegal activities. If people have something to lose, they are in the game. Even a slight dependency is enough to make the dependents vote in unison with the mentioned minority. And yes, it needs to be a pyramid, as the country is large. Such a scheme can only fail due to poor organization and/or insufficient resources to build an effective network of influence.

For friends about #hybris: Sharing useful Groovy scripts that I frequently use at work. Today I am sharing my script for creating a database query, where you only input the type, and it does everything else by itself: joins related tables, selects a list of attributes, etc. In Hybris, atop the database, there is a special ORM layer where the database table analog is “itemtype”. So, to extract all the useful data (for reconciliation purposes, for example), you need to write a bulky query. To make it easier to write, here I’ve drafted a little script that generates it. You can find usage examples via the link.

Today at the Renwick Gallery, Lisa and I visited a fantastic exhibition: Murder Is Her Hobby: Frances Glessner Lee and The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. Each diorama is accompanied by a story and sometimes puzzles. Some exhibits are captivating

A very solidly crafted semi-documentary film about Heisenberg and his atomic theory. Along the way, there are some strange inaccuracies, like “Einstein received the Nobel Prize for the theory of relativity” (18:19). But overall, it’s very accessible even for younger schoolchildren, and very interesting. I do not highly recommend it if you are knowledgeable in the subject (it might be amusing at times), but it is perfect for children. However, for the uninitiated, the historical aspect can be intriguing; for me, there was almost 100% new information.
This is a series of six films. Probably all six are decent (haven’t watched the others).

The neural network AlphaZero, owned by Goggle, after being fed only the rules, surpassed not only humans and their 1500 years of experience in chess but also all existing computer programs, including the strongest competitor, Stockfish, after playing against itself for 4 hours.
As one of the founders of DeepMind states, we had long reconciled with the fact that computers are stronger than us in chess, however, it was comforting that the programs which were beating us utilized human ingenuity and experience; now, this has changed.
