You are right I thought GSM was 1G, instead it’s 2G-2.5G

I would assume everything including GSM calls is IP/packet based nowadays, unless your phone has switched to 1G

Back in the early 00’s everybody called and the cell network was stressed, I normally waited 15-30 minutes before calling my parents.

Nowadays the 5g network can handle that many calls and a big chunk of the people use something else than phone calls.

My first thought was: Setting fire to a mosque seems tame compared to all the other atrocities.

We get numb by all the bad news.

Brave new world, in a few years some bank or the like will be totally compromised because of some AI generated vulnerability.

That reminds me of Illiad’s UserFriendly where the non tech guy Stef creates a do_what_i_mean() function, and that goes poorly.

I would say this AI function generator is a new version of: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DWIM

It’s called Rufus, for the ones who wonder.

I am sure I’ll use it as much as I use all the other assistants, never.

I have done several D2 playthroughs, but end up stopping part way through the barbarian tundra chapter, it’s somewhat boring.

Now I listen to Diablo 2 soundtrack, when I miss the game, especially the wilderness music, it slaps!

The YA book series The Tripods, is medieval dystopian.

And the more corporate the organisation the more rules, at least the places I have worked trusts developers enough to give local admin, that takes the edge off many tasks.

I expect they compile it like this:

g++ HelloWorld.docx.cpp -o hello.exe

I think it’s safer than Inject-bleach pilled

SmegHeadScript

I prefer the multi thread problems that can be solved using queues.

Rational Rose etc. could generate code from UML diagrams, then you “only” needed architects.

In reality it only gave a little help during the design phase, as soon as someone touches the generated code, you have to manually merge changes to UML.

I see that the study uses 48mg sucralose in 60ml water amounting to 0.8g/liter.

My Cola recipe with pure sucralose uses 0.167g/liter this should be equivalent to normal soda sweetness of 100g sugar/liter.

The issue I had with sucralose was that it seemed to go out of solution in the syrup that’s why my current Cola recipe uses a mix of sucralose/saccharin/stevia in the ratio of 30/30/40 which amounts to 0.05g sucralose/liter so if I drink 1 liter of soda I’ll get the same amount as their study.

The reason I continue to use sucralose is that it rounds out the flavor of saccharin and stevia.

Okay not all Diet Coke uses sucralose, but you can still buy Diet Coke with Splenda https://www.cokesolutions.com/products/brands/diet-coke/diet-coke-with-splenda.html

As I understand diet coke uses sucralose, not aspartame as sweetener.

Sucralose has a different sweetness profile, much closer to real sugar and is not bitter. Compared to aspartame in zero/light that needs 0.2g salt/liter to cover up the bitterness.

They look like some teenager were too eager with the slider during character creation.
