> actual groups of humans, people who know and respect each other, coming together and discussing the proposals.

Yes, and in this case, they've complained that they have more papers than they can possibly pay attention to, and thus are wholesale filtering out large swaths of papers using a computer program that cannot be debugged or tested in any reliable fashion.

> They will therefore also critically look at any AI reviews, and eliminate them as soon as they are not convincing.

The article implies the opposite is happening. Which means to review the AIs filtering decisions they have to go through the removed proposals and not the remaining ones. Which puts them back at square one as far as the (work : human) ratio is concerned.

> nearly all open source programs are in fact free.

You are just wrong, and your first link proves it. The definitions are essentially identical. The philosophies behind them are different.

It's like the "Gulf of America" vs. the "Gulf of Mexico". You are talking about the same territory in either case, just expressing a different viewpoint about it.

Given how naturally you can map a grid of quads onto a strip of adjacent triangular faces, I wonder if you might end up with a better distribution of the distortion using a geodesic sphere rather than a puffed-out cube as the basis— at the cost, of course, of an even more hair-raising coordinate scheme for actually addressing it all.

Anyway, you're never going to avoid the existence of some special nodes where three corners come together, and this does nothing to address the altitude problem, but I think it might result in a more uniform surface especially as the overall diameter goes up.

The UK is an outlier as noted above. So no, this is not "simply how things work" in general. It's unusual.

No, see first quoted piece of text above.

My assumption also is that it's a far from perfect market - see last paragraph.

At the point where you've suggested that Australia (of all countries) might not have an intelligence service, you've surrendered the ability to demand others come up with citations. For the record, not only do they, but they're one of the more important players. Trying to suggest otherwise to wriggle out from the "Western" argument was not a strong rhetorical move.

It's not completely wrong ... how rude. Shareware isn't even open source, generally, and it certainly isn't gratis--you have to pay for it, or at least should, and there are often restrictions or time limits if you don't. Again, the "free" in "free software" refers to freedom, not free beer.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

> “Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.

And

> “Open source” is something different: it has a very different philosophy based on different values. Its practical definition is different too, but nearly all open source programs are in fact free. We explain the difference in Why “Open Source” misses the point of Free Software.

etc.

Alexa consistently fails with the simplest of questions.

Only thing it can do is set a timer, turn off a light and play music.

It is still nice, but it’s so frustrating when a question pops into my mind, and I accidentally ask Alexa just to get reminded yet again how useless it is for everything but the most basic tasks.

And no, I won’t pay 240 dollars a year so that I can get a proper response to my random questions that I realistically have only about once a week.

I ebike and the combination of an old rusty bike plus a large lock seems to stop thieves, even though I leave it on the street 247. I take the battery in though. And have a funky diy paint job. Also even if it was stolen it cost less than any of a years tax on the car, one service on the car, one replacement shock on the car etc.

> if Amazon can't make it one of their AWS offerings then it isn't true open source

That's because then it isn't. Sorry, but you can't just take terms with an accepted meaning and decide they mean something else, without any conversation or consensus from there people using that term.

The OSI has a specific definition of what "open source" means[0]. Restricting what users of the software can do in this way is in direct opposition to parts of that definition, so no, if you do that, then it is no longer open source.

I'm not saying you aren't entitled to set up your licensing that way. I think it's disgusting when the likes of Amazon decide to take someone's hard work and use their massive oligopolist position to trivially outcompete anything the original author might try to do to make some money.

But that doesn't mean it's open source. I think people need to stop being so afraid to call their software something else. They seem to be really attached to the idea of being an "open source developer", and don't want to drop that moniker even after changing their licensing away from open source.

People also need to stop licensing their software under true OSS licenses, building a community of regular, significant contributors around it, and then changing their licensing (which they can do because they've [IMO shadily] required contributors to reassign copyright). That's a huge bait-and-switch, and people are right to be upset when that happens.

In the case of Bearblog, it seems like the author is really the only significant contributor, so I think what he's doing is totally fine, for the record. Frankly I think he did this the right way: his announcement email is entirely reasonable and sympathetic, and he doesn't try to breathlessly claim that his software is still open source.

[0] https://opensource.org/osd [1]

[1] While I don't love how the OSI folks basically just decided they own the term "open source" and that they get to define it, I think they've been pretty good stewards over time, and having clear-cut definitions of things is a good thing.

If you are a top AI researcher, there is no good reason to go to Amazon. For what? Pay? Career development? Company prospect? Work-life balance? You get nothing compared to what other companies offer.

And I say, good. We need new, smaller companies with different cultures in this space. We don't want these giant corporations to dominate and control everything.

Last I went to China (mid-late 2010s), you could visit the less well off areas and off beaten paths in much of China as a tourist without too much hassle.

The issue is most people don't. China is hard enough without Mandarin fluency, but going to urban villages where migrant workers live or Tier 3/4 cities where the majority of manufacting happens is an added level of difficult for "soft" people.

Most tourists perfer to stay in their tourist bubbles, which tend to be a monoculture globally.

> For the bank, I don’t really see why it would be preferable to intervene with the bank vs the tech company.

Because the bank has a fiduciary responsibility to its customers. The tech company doesn't. The bank can't just deny you access to your money because you don't want to have a Google or Apple account. That should already be the legal framework, but apparently it needs to be clarified and enforced better.

> Either way the state will have to impose on a private company.

Banks are already not "private companies" the way tech companies are; banks are already agents of the state in a number of important ways (such as being required to report all kinds of transactions, follow know your customer rules, etc.).

Yes, though in the latest versions it is just a drop-down where one can choose between a few fixed values, and one has to make the move for the engine.

Apple has a history of embracing robotics, so this is in line with their DNA (circa 1984): https://thenextweb.com/news/steve-jobs-designed-apple-factor...

This also implies that the work could be onshored if the supply chain can handle it.

As @hyperhello pointed out: automation comes at a cost of lost jobs and we need to figure out how to make an automated society work that is not completely dystopian. My hopes are tempered in that regard.

> The "Short Story" section definitely matches my experience at most companies, startups and bigger non-tech companies alike: They already have more data than they're aware of and know what to do with, and understanding what they have is the starting point before most analysis can be done.

exactly, most of them are concerned about the data they don't have, while in practice they do have a lot to generate good insights.

> Glad I read the post as I hadn't heard of Malloy before. Excuse me if I missed the answer to this, but: How much do you as Findly/Conversion Pattern implement the Semantic Layer on behalf of your users (and if so, I assume you have some process for auto-generating the Malloy models), or do your users have to do something to input the semantics themselves?

We do have an automatic semantic layer generation framework which works as a great starting point, but for the generic case you still have to manually edit / improve it based on the customer's internal context. User's can edit themselves in our UI too, but it usually requires some level of help from us.

We do have a vertical product for commodity trading and shipping: https://www.darlinganalytics.ai/ -> in that case the semantic layer is much more well defined, which makes setup way easier.

I think only the part about blocks getting smaller as you go down and then doubling in size again is in the article. Will check.

I'm saying "presumably" because of points the article didn't spell out. Edit: I re-read and it doesn't talk about the very much non-cuboid blocks at the corners, or the pointed blocks at the core. Not in words, anyway. They're implied in the pictures.

If you want comments that build on this ... it's the triplets of quads that really bother me. They only appear at eight places on the surface of the planet, but it would mess with strategy in a strategy game (my own efforts were inspired by trying to create Civ on a true sphere) if routes between tiles are sometimes short-circuited. It would also distort house architecture in a sims-like, and mess up city grids if one of these triplet corners happens to be in the middle of your city, which would then go from having north-south and east-west streets to having ... six cardinal directions?

You deserve some credit, though. Setting this up properly takes quite a bit of discipline and persistence. I only did it for certain memorization-heavy classes and I still found it to be kind of a chore. Mostly in college I just tried to understand things deeply and hoped that this kind of understanding/memory would be reasonably durable. That got me good enough grades for what I was trying to do, but it probably would not have been sufficient for a very competitive professional school like medicine.

It's very simple. They pretend they're using democracy to mean "rule of the people", but the meaning they're actually using is "policy outcomes that I like".

That's why parties can do the opposite of what they promised [1,2], judges can issue wildly creative rulings [3], even directly contrary to referendums [4], universities can demand ideological loyalty oaths [5], a party can get 37% of votes but only 20% of seats [6], or even 14.3% of votes and only 0.77% of seats, newspapers can get banned [8], towns can be fined for not participating in mandatory celebrations [9], and activists can even be prevented from leaving their own countries to attend a political summit, despite EU free movement [10], and there's not a peep about endangering democracy or authoritarianism.

> It feels like every worry in the world has disappeared. Everything is cozy. Everything is fine. It's like being in the womb again.

> I understand how people can get addicted to it.

If you really care that much about making "every worry in the world disappear" from your mind by entirely artificial means (even to the point of remarking that you understand the POV of those who get addicted!), you might benefit from learning about how to live your life with more equanimity. It's a vastly healthier approach to coping with the challenges of a stressful life than any kind of strong narcotic. The topic is explored in great depth in both Stoicism and Buddhism - and via the latter, in more generic "mindfulness" approaches. (It can of course be useful to cross-reference all of these philosophies; they tend to have complementary perspectives.)

Needless to say, therapy can also have very similar benefits, and many people will derive even more benefit from that kind of highly structured approach.

That would be nice, but how would the bank verify the signature? It's the same old key exchange problem all over again.

In any case, that's not what I was suggesting. I was simply suggesting that banks shouldn't be allowed to force you to depend on certain apps or app stores to get access to your money. Similarly, schools shouldn't be allowed to force you to depend on certain apps or app stores to take proper care of your kids.
