To make a shortcut on your desktop on windows. Right click element -> shortcut on desktop. To change arguments: right click shortcut -> Properties. Done. Now try to explain how gnome does it in a comment 🤣

No that's impossible with your voice even for those slow speeds back then. But one could implement a similar system that converts sound to data/images if you invent you own modulation depending on how precise you can make sounds. If you are totally ungifted with your voice like me, the simplest would probably be something like morse. If you have perfect pitch you could use many different frequencies and amplitudes and combine those (a bit like QAM but without phase modulation, because humans can't control the phase with their vocal cords). The more different frequency-amplitude combinations you can make and the faster you can switch between them the faster you "manual" data transmission could be.

Sounds actually pretty fun to play around with 🤣

PS: I personally would drop amplitude modulation and only use different frequencies (FM) and only pick a few different values (maybe four? or eight - one octave cdefgabc') with variable speed (decoding based on short pauses between notes) to be most reliable.

PPS: what did you (and adhd) do to me 😅. Now I want to make something like that and have no time on my hands anyway.

Play ASCII tic tac toe against 4o a few times. A model that can't even draw a tic tac toe game consistently shouldn't write production code.

I'm not sure for that specific case, but in the general case there doesn't need to be evolutionary pressure for change. If there is no pressure one way or the other random mutations can (and will over time) cause change without environmental reason (genetic drift).

I get anxiety just by looking at the awful job someone did filling the title background.

Approval voting and more parties could theoretically improve things quite a bit. But switching to approval voting is probably not simple because why should the biggest parties support something that hurts them.

Could be because Ganz is short for Ganzzahl and a noun.

I know, that's what the post is about 😉

That's actually a great way of putting it 🤣

I'd really like to know if and how your view on that matter would change once you read the full post. I know it's very long and a lot of people won't read it because they "already know" the answer but I'm pretty sure it would shift your perception at least a bit if you find the time to read it.

I'd would be great if you find the time to read the post and let me know afterwards what you think. It actually looks trivial as a problem but the situation really isn't, that's why the article is so long.

How about a real desk 🤣
