Yes. I would categorize as "bad news" (or "news news") all the FB outrage, policital stuff, the Waymo lawsuit, etc. Bad as in getting to read them for very small content almost everyday doesn't help.

On the other hand, HN is very useful for keeping up with developments in my area, interesting technical articles, insightful discussions. HN is usually not "news news".

Given that he mentioned dropping $1000, I'm guessing he's talking about cartridge blades (e.g. Gilette Mach III), that cost a couple of bucks each and take up probably 20x as much space when packaged. Still not that much actual space needed. A small moving box would probably hold decades worth; definitely if stripped of the outer packaging.

Tooling appears exotical because you are not using it day in day out.

IntelliJ is not simpler and is closed source. It is neat, true. We even use its icons in Pharo.
I've become very jaded about the world in general largely because I used to read the news every day.

News that I actually care about is the stuff I learn by talking to people in person. It's also a lot less likely to be negative news. Then, once it's been established that I care about it, I'll do research about it - whether that's talking to friends about personal news, or reading online about a new bill that would affect people I care about.

Why Decentralized AI Matters Part II: Technological Enablers
Its design intended it to be used that way, but that's not how people use it. Everyone uses a centralized email provider now (Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc.), and these providers act as gatekeepers to email. If they disappear, people will find an alternative centralized messaging scheme, not start learning how to run their own mail servers...

"A lot" of people also think the world is flat.

Let's be specific here.

I would say 90% or more of Facebook users couldn't care less if their data is sold to advertisers.

I'm one of those people.

Tell me why I should care. The same thing happens with loyalty cards at Walgreens.

It's the people on Facebook that make Facebook trash, not Facebook itself.

As for your "legistators" (sic), that is the faux outrage I'm talking about.

That's the name of game in politics.

1) Something happens.
2) The media tells people they should get outraged about it
3) People get outraged about it
4) Legislation is enacted to appease the outrage
5) Something else happens.
6) People move on to getting outraged about that.

All the services they say they want are provided by the municipal government. How are they going to provide all the services of the government without the government?
I don't know about others, but I don't care if my social media platform is centralized or not. I use FB mainly as news feed(I don't even get that many friends' posts), but I can easily migrate that. What I need is nothing more that somehow fancy address book. FB gives me a way to contact people I don't keep strong relationships with, it lets me organize an event with those people relatively pain-free and it allows me to keep at least a bit in touch. That's all. Give me just those basic features, pour some serious privacy management over that and I will be happy to lead the way switching.

I don't care about fancy tech in this case.
Most people don't even shoulder their share of household chores, even though fair sharing is enforced by informal yet powerful social mechanisms. So I'm not optimistic regarding widespread peaceful anarchy for services.

Fixing potholes yourself also takes a (few million) step(s) backward in time: it's the bartering of public service, forgoing the awesome benefits of specialisation and cooperation.

But you know where this sort of anarchy basically works: taxes! Almost all people send in their tax returns without a fuzz. It's almost as if they agree that everyone should chip in for shared endeavours, and that money is an excellent medium for coordinating it all.

(yeah, I know there's the threat of criminal law lurking if you don't pay your taxes. But taxes are probably the world's most universal policy, and only a select few lunatics and presidents seem not to get the concept)

What if they tell the users and require user action to begin mining?

It seems pretty rich for a company whose business model revolves around building traps for user data and then using to that data to drive mostly unwanted targeted advertising. Of the three choices:

1. paid services,
2. privacy violation + ads or
3. service uses X% of my CPU,

I'd choose 3 every time. The killer app of cryptocurrencies is monetizing PoW. Someone is going to build the new doubleclick on that and displace google.
That's the way I think it works - I had to do that on a set of lights I thought had a camera (turns out it mustn't have been on as nothing came of it), but quickly weighed it up in my head of "several hours of BS arguing it for me" vs "someone might die".

Police cars will have dash cams, not sure on ambulances or fire engines.

That being said, scariest thing I did on the road was going through a red light to let an ambulance through at a motorway off-ramp. You better hope everyone else has heard those sirens.
Exactly like email or the web. Certain services (shame on you, booking.com) now consider it a potential bug if you email doesn't end in gmail.com (they do their "did you mean: tadzik_@gmail.com?" when I enter the proper one, with my own domain). The web itself also tends to gravitate towards either "cloud" providers or at least stuff like cloudfare for ddos protection. Yes, it is still decentralized, but people keep choosing the centralized subsets of it for convenience.
Mine as well. More generally, I've often observed that when the status quo is imperfect, many people are willing to opt for a worse system so long as the imperfections are different (e.g., capitalism vs socialism).
You need to soak them in something stronger before washing - something bleach based. Napisan is great for this (and also for any white shirts etc).
Aquinas wrote that God is "ipsum esse subsistens," translated by Bishop Robert Barron as "the shear act of 'to be' itself." So the idea of God not simply as a noun but as an action (i.e., verb) can be found at least as early as the 13th century.
Agree absolutely, a step toward new research related to "drivers". I think it will be interesting how age might affect early usage of such a neural lace. Perhaps a link operated from a young age (even birth) will operate better as the baby's other "drivers" (for the usual IO operations like sight and hearing) havn't developed as much. Also for AI-safety it is important to begin interfacing between between digital and neural as early as possible.
> Friendica runs on PHP with MySQL as a database. If you can run WordPress, you can run Friendica.

Not the biggest fan of the stack, but no problem. These networks are getting closer. Now create a desktop installer that: has its own web server + php + mysql pieces embedded and execute on their own ports on startup. (I say I don't like the stack because I'd prefer something that can all be statically compiled). Make sure the desktop can easily setup/change/admin this self host and can guide or automatically dyndns and NAT bust. Or if you want to do it right, embed tor, and create a hidden service for me (an ephemeral v3 one would be nice, maybe from a deterministically derived key from a few factors, I'll figure out how to give the unwieldy name to my friends).

We have to make self hosting as easy as running mspaint if we're going to tackle this problem right.

You know, MDA had non-citizens working on American spy sats for quite some time... Just look at their linkedins. I don't think a man who graduated Peking university on a full time program, can become a Canadian/US citizen the next year, when he joined MDA.

Quite a lot of those guys are on work permits in Canada.
It's more to do with convenience. It was more convenient (and cheaper) to just get Napster / Limewire / Soul Seek / other p2p sharing app and download music than buy it online. In the beginning it was a tech-minded group, but the software got better and easier... and the communities grew.

In short order it was not only tech-minded people who did this en-masse. If a platform is convenient for people to do X, it has a good change of also being popular.

I'm from Wisconsin as well and agree completely. The conservatives haven't been conservative in this state for many years. They're just Super PAC and special interest representatives running under the flag of the Republican party.
Is the "Rebuild from scratch the same thing but using another paradigm" a good option to improve social?

I don't have any Facebook accounts but after 15 years programming stuff, I don't see the copy/paste as a powerful solution.

Also, distribution is not really the problem here. From architecture point of view Facebook is distributed.

The problem is the need of store huge amount of data in the cloud and pretending that to be free.
Obviously, I have no control over what nodes my friends are using.

Can I whitelist/blacklist nodes?

And how is the situation we're arriving at better than having a single party, in this case Facebook, who is to blame when things go sour?
Definitely not meant as arrogance. We'll make it clearer, it seems like there's a bit of that confusion here.

Not really.
I had the the same issue with my now 5 month old, I'd guess most first time parents do.
I watch TV occassionally while cleaning the apartment etc., but only the public broadcasters' documentary channels. No ads, no breaking news, no day-to-day politics. The only thing that annoys me is when a historical documentary pushes its narrative of what's good and what's bad without allowing for any shade of gray inbetween.
And yet if you said "Or you can pay me directly to use this service," how do you think people would respond?

And you literally just described the profession of marketing. So if you replaced the inflammatory phrase "manipulate your thinking" with "market toward you", I think they'd be totally fine with it.

I mean, why else do you "Like" something on Facebook anyway unless you want other people to know that you like it?
Thanks for this. Watched the course intro and I'm definitely enrolling for April 9th.
Not it doesn't.

Iceberg is breaking new ground compared o Kraken/SourceTree etc.

Pharo took the risk of integrating git support in the tools.

It takes a few iterations.

So what? Either one is a user or one is inventing new stuff. When was it you wrote a full wrapper for libgit?
And made it available to any app? Yes, any Pharo app now has the ability to use libgit features. Awesome and opening quite some doors.
Yep, that's what we were told. It doesn't matter if you're doing the right thing by getting out of someone's way, you'll get a fine/points if you cross the line.

Although, if you are at a set of traffic lights and an emergency vehicle tries to get you to cross the line, what you should do is write down the registration plate and contact the relevant service to report the driver. The instructor on this course was ex-police, and according to him police, paramedics, and firefighters in the UK are taught to not do this under any circumstance, and if they are caught trying to persuade someone to cross a red traffic light then they can get in a lot of trouble.
Not at all. In-browser cryptomining is not even within an order of magnitude as lucrative as ads (probably not even two orders of magnitude), and users actively despise having the browser slow to a crawl because these are in the background. It's far worse for users than standard advertising.

I noticed this too, and it's both quite annoying and rather sad.
3D Touch is like keyboard shortcuts or Terminal on the Mac. You don't need them to use the platform productively, but power users may appreciate the efficiencies they enable.

A lot of people think that, if a feature or function is not immediately obvious to a new user, Apple did a bad job with that design.

But actually there is no way to build a powerful piece of technology and have it all be obvious. Trying to do that has resulted in a lot of really bad design over the years.

What product designers need to do is curate features--make the basic elements of interaction obvious, so regular folks can use the platform in the most common ways without too much thought. Then provide powerful tools for more sophisticated users--but by necessity they will be harder to discover.

Yeah, the person above didn't know about 3D Touch, but the point is that they have already been using the iPhone just fine without it! It is an enhancement, not a core function.

I'm sure there are other 3D Touch interactions that I don't know about, but that's fine. The iPhone is super powerful and it would be very hard (and probably pointless) to try to learn all the power features and little tricks.
Redesigning the Scientific Paper
All this speculation ignores the fact that we don't have a practical theory of how the mind works, an therefore no way to know what, specifically, would need to be done to produce a specific outcome. For example, Lieber talks about the development of 3D transistors, so they can be implanted in neurons, but he does say what they would do once there.

To be fair, pharmacology, in its application to mental issues, is at about the same level, but it is also struggling to demonstrate unambiguous successes. As research tools, these devices are great, but it is premature to suggest that we have a technology that is going to change the way we think.

Facebook and data sovereignty
I think many people that are moving away from Facebook move away from social networks in general. Personally, I am not interested at all in a Facebook replacement. I gave a couple a try, but quickly realized that spending time on these social networks is even more boring than Facebook, especially if none of your friends are on there.. and therefor a total waste of my time. If I need to communicate with friends I do this “directly” via WhatsApp or email.
> Tell me why I should care.

I don't care if you care. That's your decision.

> The same thing happens with loyalty cards at Walgreens.

It's not the same thing at all. With loyalty cards I get the OPTION of being rewarded for allowing a company to track me. So I weigh getting rewarded (positive) against sharing my data (negative), and I make a decision.

With Facebook there is no option, they track everyone regardless.

> As for your "legistators" (sic), that is the faux outrage I'm talking about.

> That's the name of game in politics.

> 1) Something happens. 2) The media tells people they should get outraged about it 3) People get outraged about it 4) Legislation is enacted to appease the outrage 5) Something else happens. 6) People move on to getting outraged about that

Yes, so? Peopple are outraged and legislators act. Isn't that how democracy works? It seems you're only just now discovering this.
The philosophical conundrum was settled when we as a society created the single definition for what life is. At that date we also defined good, evil, humane and inhuman.

That is to say, there is no single moment when those got a definitive definition. There is human rights and yet we have not a single definition of what human mean. I still recall reading discussions if a dead person has human rights or not, which implies some amount of uncertainty that goes beyond even life itself.

Calling people idiotic is never the right move and it does rub people in the wrong way, but I disagree to the claim that you need to have all the answers. I do not have a encompassing scientific and philosophical answer when human life start, what makes it human, and when it ends, but I still perceive human rights to be essential and those who object to human rights to be fundamentally wrong. If the discussion is to be moved forward I feel like demanding answers to those question will just lead into an impassable domain.
> But there was one marked difference: computer use in Madagascar tended to be a collective rather than an individual practice. Children and their families would gather around one laptop to play educational games, take photos or make videos. Computers were being used to strengthen existing social relations among siblings, parents and peers.

I think it used to be like this for a lot of people in the developed world as well when computers were new and most people did not have computers and those that did had only one in the whole household.

Nowadays a lot of people including the children have a smartphone each and the household might have one or more iPads and up to several laptops. And of course a PlayStation or an XBOX.

I don’t have children yet, but when I get children I hope to show them programming and involve them in what I do with computers and to show interest in what they are doing and to encourage them to be creative.

It's true that when or if you need to communicate with them, you need to play by their rules, but it's also true that email has the potential, the power, and the technical solutions to shift away from it, should it ever be needed or wanted. This is not true for centralised by design systems.

EDIT: I don't think people will be able to abandon email, given it's a replacement for paper mail (banking, official papers, etc). If the big players won't play nice, people will need to get to another provider, simply because the source of email won't be willing/fast enough to jump on [system X].
Anyone else get a weird pop-up after opening this article? I'm using Firefox for Android, and after I open the article and begin scrolling, a little box pops up that lists the names of 2 local financial institutions and the word "remove." As I scroll down, the box moves, too. If I tap on one of the names or the word "remove" the box disappears. I only get this on Firefox for Android.

The only reason it's rather worrying is because I happen to bank at both of the financial institutions on the list. They are both small, local institutions.

Tried opening the link on a couple other devices but was unable to recreate this. The pop-up appears every time I open the link in Firefox on my phone, though.
In which case you've now built a centralized medical record storage system. And since people lose their keys all the time and you don't want that to cause them to lose all their medical records you also now have access to their medical records in plain text.
