I’m curious to see how the author would react when it is two miles one-way to the crappy grocery store and eight miles to the good one.

And there is a bus shows up about once every four hours.

While cities can do a lot to improve the non-car experience, there’s a whole world outside those cities which would become inaccessible without a car. These are generally the “affordable” places to live in order to work in the city.

Focus on improving where you live, I do, but when you live in a city, recognize that improvements need to take into account those who don’t live there. The city is where they work, go to school, shop, and often interact with government functions.

Getting rid of dumb laws I can totally get behind as someone who walks daily.

I meant a bit like: Let's say you have 2 mobile phone operators in your country ( duopoly ) we are ok that for example using SMS for banking interaction ( second factor etc )

I think this is a process; and somehow slowly people accepting those levels, and in a society it becomes normal ( to have whatsapp for friend group, to have facebook for family photos etc etc ) and you are being left out eventually if you are outside of those norms.

So it is not so different for bank to require something like google provided software.

You only need to move a bit towards suburbia/countryside to create your deep disbelief in public transport. Cars are everywhere, for a reason.

Public transport is great in theory only. With actual human societies - maybe the western ones, that is, except China/Japan - it just doesn't work. Corruption, laziness, bureaucracy, lack of proper planning and security makes the creation and maintenance of these projects unsustainable and so much worse compared to personal transport. This only isn't true for million+ metropolises due to physical constrains.

You may frown at the traffic jams with SUVs having a single driver, but building additional highways is easily doable around the world, while any sort of mass transit infrastructure projects seem to take decades, billions, while still end up underwhelming - if not instantly, then after the machinery ages or maintainers change.

the corporations who disallow agpl only do so because they want to comply in a way that is against the spirit of open source. When I advocate for the agpl to prevent Amazon and Google using my software, it’s not because of who those companies are, but how they use it.

If Amazon tomorrow turns around and open sources everything that is a derivative work of the code they ever used, I would be more than happy, even proud if they used my software. Today any company which doesn’t deny their users the core software freedoms is already free to do so.

This is not a “hack” to be maliciously compliant OSS; this is the spirit of open source.

Why do you think the GPL has the virality clause in the first place?

Edit: a perhaps reductive, but hopefully instructive summary: MIT/BSD guarantee freedoms of the software developers, GPL guarantees freedoms of the software users.

You are free to choose which you prefer, but they're quite explicit choices, and the AGPL is absolutely squarely in the spirit of the GPL.

(Now if you had said you take issue with the tivoization clause, on the other hand... :) :))

How is this quickly dismissing the idea that it was a lab leak as a conspiracy? The research showed (and still shows) that it's extremely plausible for the virus to have gone from animal -> human. I think currently there is a "missing" jump where the animal which was involved in transmission still isn't know but to say that Fauci citing the current research is "dismissal of lab leak as a conspiracy theory" is a bit absurd.

I'd have to agree with this stance. You choose MIT when you are happy to share your source with no strings attached. Some do pick MIT with this intent, but that was not the case here. But rather a case of either miscommunication or wanting to have the pie ("look how altruistic I am") and eating it too ("look how business-minded I am").

Well, for all the wanting of nonproliferation it didn't stop Pakistan or India. I never saw any peacekeeping operations from China or Russia when either of them went nuclear.

If Ukraine had the physics package, why couldn't they deploy it? Barring launch codes from the Kremlin, there's still enriched uranium in the warhead that you can turn into a simpler one-stage bomb. I doubt they could have gone thermonuclear, but simply leveraging the ICBMs and fissile material seems well within Ukraine's wheelhouse.

Hi, I am Peter and am currently finishing up my Ph. D. dissertation/defense in computational topology, focusing on equivalent approximations of curves. Previously, I was a senior software engineer working in diverse areas (Android, Manufacturing, and Embedded Firmware development) and now I am more focused on researching and applying methods to geometric and topological problems and their code. Some of my current Ph. D. work has included devising and implementing novel machine learning techniques for routing and packing, ray tracing for volumetric sphere insertion, and deforming curves and surfaces.

> In the early 2000s, sitting for a driver’s license was seen as a near-universal rite of passage. By 2020, Generation Z teens were significantly less likely to get their licenses and later, when they do, it's driven by necessity rather than aspiration.

I feel like this is a naive take, and making some assumptions that may not be true.

I feel like this has less to do with preferring other modes of transportation over driving, as much as it has to do with not wanting/needing to go anywhere, particularly outside of the city. You can do most things without even needing to leave home, especially when you’re young.

You don’t need to meet in person with your friends to socialize. You can text, use social media, play only games, etc.

My young adult children both have licenses, but they have found it hard to get their friends to want to hang out. They’d rather stay home and stay on their devices.

> They can serialise their own settings, including the plugins used and its versions, and have a common interface for plugins to expose and restore a serialisation of its internal setup.

I'd be incredibly surprised if there is any DAW in existence that doesn't do this already.

But it has very little do with version control per se.

Ardour already has "snapshots" which work pretty much as you describe.

> When there aren’t rules, many people are quick to discourage LLM copy and paste. “Please don’t do this”.

This doesn't seem to be universal across all people. The techier crowd, the kind of people who may not immediately trust LLM content, will try to prevent its usage. You know, the type of people to run Discord servers or open-source projects.

But completely average people don't seem to care in the slightest. The kind of people who are completely disconnected from technology just type in whatever, pick the parts they like, and then parade the LLM output around: "Look at what the all-knowing truth machine gave me!"

Most people don't care and don't want to care.

I honestly don't know if people even care that the search result summaries are completely wrong the majority of the time. Most people I know see an answer given by Google and just believe it. To them that's the value, the accuracy doesn't really matter. I hope it ends up killing Google, but for the majority the shitty summary has replaced even shittier search results. On the surface it's a huge improvement, even if it's just distilled garbage.

I was expecting DDG to be one of them (before I read the report), so I did some digging and it seems that they have <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/...> set to "origin", meaning it says that the request came from duckduckgo.com but nothing further

<meta name="referrer" content="origin">

But, to answer your question, presumably a search engine that wanted to stay really under the radar could use that same mechanism to choose "no-referrer" and the traffic would seem organic

(I also had a good chuckle at them choosing to break the typo chain with this directive)

Even in large cities like London there are huge areas where public transport is a joke. Yes it's fine in the very tourist center, but get out further from the center where normal people with families actually live and what is a 5-8 minute drive to a large grocery store becomes a mammoth 50-60 minute journey each way. I personally don't want to spend 15% of my waking day going to and from the shops and paying huge prices for public transport (and also struggle back carrying heavy bags) when I can pay pennies in electricity to drive there and back in a small fraction of the time. I can leave, do my shop, drive back (with heavy bags being carried by the car not my fingers!) and unpack and be sat down again and half way through a TV episode before I'd even have got there by public transport. And this is London where we have "good" public transport.

> Every post about Google for years has been people saying it's terrible and dead.

They are terrible, but that doesn't mean anybody else is good or better. And being better at search isn't enough anyway [1]. Also, when you give Google less of your searches, personalization drops off and it gets even worse, but most people give all their searches to google so they see the benefit of personalization if they compare.

[1] When Yahoo did user research on search, one of their findings was that if you asked users which results were better, there was a strong and consistent preference towards results that were shown as Google results, regardless of the actual results. It's been forever since I saw those reports, so I don't remember the numbers, and the numbers are likely different today anyway, but that's a huge barrier to adoption that you have to manage.

The Wikipedia article you quoted is misconstruing things. For example the actual ICJ finding was

> the Court is of the view that Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip has not entirely released it of its obligations under the law of occupation. Israel’s obligations have remained commensurate with the degree of its effective control over the Gaza Strip.

Clearly "regard[ing] the Gaza Strip to still be under military occupation by Israel" is not an accurate characterization of the court's finding. Marko Milanovic had a nice post [1] about possible interpretations of the court's ambiguous wording.

There's no way the court would have had a consensus for a finding that Gaza was plainly occupied; even this advisory opinion was opposed by 3 of 15 judges.

There have been plenty of attempts to correct inaccurate info like this on Wikipedia, but in the last few years it's become rather futile since editors with an anti-Israeli agenda are a strong majority. (See e.g. the updated definition of Zionism they pushed through: "as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible".)

Do we have the crypto to build an asymmetric variant? The way that I’d immediately think to do it is have the authenticator create a signature over the current time (chunked into 30-second windows) and the service verify that signature, but obviously those signature texts are way too long to manually enter as a one-time code. (Symmetric) TOTP solves this length problem by just truncating the output of a hash function, which both the authenticator and the service can produce because they have a shared secret. But in the signature case the service would need the entire signature to validate it; any truncation would make it useless.

It’s been a while since I did any crypto. But it feels like the shortness of the one-time-code probably makes it impossible to do asymmetrically. If this is indeed the case there is probably an elegant proof or some better way of thinking about why it’s impossible. I would be interested in reading that.

And then there are third-tier historical medieval towns that are 100% walkable and you again don't need a car.

My ideal city of the future is a small walkable town with everything within a 15-20 minute walk, possibly a part of a conglomerate of towns that run trains or buses between them.

I currently live in one such historical town in Southern Europe that's protected by Unesco. The streets are so narrow that not only there's no public transport, all non-resident and non-delivery traffic is prohibited and there's no Uber even. And yet you have everything you need for life and work within a 15-20 minute walk max. More for remote work, obviously.

An ideal city of the future doesn't need to be medieval but maybe we should go back to a city planning concept that is made for humans and not cars. And you know, narrow pedestrian streets are totally fine, they are cute!

GPT-4 is about 45 gigabytes. https://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/kiwix/zim/wikipedia/wikipe... , a recent dump of the English wikipedia, is over twice that, and that's just English. Plus AIs are expected to know about other languages, science, who even knows how much Reddit, etc.

There literally isn't room for them to know everything about everyone when they're just asked about random people without consulting sources, and even when consulting sources it's still pretty easy for them to come in with extremely wrong priors. The world is very large.

You have to be very careful about these "on the edge" sorts of queries, it's where the hallucination will be maximized.

You don't think that people who use services care more about the service than non-users? Whether they're forced into using it or not, the fact they do absolutely makes them more invested in it being good.

Civic and national pride makes citizens (which includes politicians and the wealthy) more likely to care about the actual state of their country. That's what national pride means, as opposed to nationalism, where they are proud without reason. Is public transit guaranteed to be one of those reasons they feel pride or shame? Not at all, but support for it is certainly more likely to come from that than a bunch of nationalists who don't actually feel any shame at failings of the country, of which public transit is currently.
