>To me, the main mistake was the series of commercials giving the strong impression that IBM already had this incredible Artificial General Intelligence

100% correct. Had IBM marketed Watson for what it actually is - an enterprise version of Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant (which admittedly didn't even exist at the time) - they'd be in a completely different spot. Instead we got the Bob Dylan commercials (which under the covers was just speech to text, a hardcoded dialog tree, and text to speech) and all the "Watson is curing cancer" nonsense (which under the covers was just a rules engine sitting on top of a search engine intended to provide customized treatment plans). The actual technology works, but it's an NLP platform for building chatbots and search engines (think intent classifier, relevancy ranker, named entity/semantic relationship/sentiment annotators) not the AGI that it was marketed as.

Good fiction explores ideas which are timeless.

Also, I would say that the "beginning, middle, end" model is a rather superficial framing. Take the Homeric works like the Iliad, for example. It starts right in the middle of a massive conflict that leads to the Trojan War (in media res). A new reader actually has to spend some time reading to get context as to what the hell is going on, and why.

Also, novels are not the only forms of fiction. What about plays and short stories, or even songs?

Both are examples of laws messing with tech availability and inspiring custom workarounds.

I agree, that's how the UK does it. It's a communist view of State though, and it's awful.

Children should be educated and protected by their parents and family, not the State. First, because very kid is different and it's unthinkable to create a catch-all solution that is good for everybody. Second, what is the State good at? Anything that is done at the government level is about 100 times worse than private businesses, and 1000 times worse than what the vast majority of parents can do. You don't want the State deciding what you are allowed to look at on the internet, if anything they would do more damage than anything else.

I also don't get why people have to freak out about everything nowadays, as if kids are completely helpless against the outside world. When I was a kid there was all kind of extremely dangerous stuff going on, and as kids we got warned by our parents and everyone is still alive.
If you are working 10-12 hours a day, expand your job search to locations which involve a 1-2 hour commute each way. (Assumption: you can find something that only involves 8 hours of work per day.) It will suck, but it will still be better than your current situation. You may be able to WFH some or move house sometime later.

But how does this relate to DRM or explain the lack thereof? If every platform can offer DRM-free movies, similar to the music I can buy everywhere, how does that put Apple in a dominant position? Sounds more like an equal playing field to me.
I don't go on /r/Piracy, but from my understanding there were already rules in place, and heavily enforced, about not linking to infringing content, and it was supposed to be just a place to discuss piracy. How is simple discussion of a topic infringing at all? How did they deserve this purge?

It's exactly this attitude that has a chilling effect on all speech, no matter the subject. You should be ashamed.

This is a common misunderstanding. Copyright does not allow you to own an idea -- there is nothing in the law to allow that. Instead it gives you a right to copy something. Specifically, it gives you an exclusive right. When people talk about "intellectual property" the are referring to owning rights with respect to some intellectual concept, not owning the intellectual concept itself. The very common confusion that you seem to suffer from is the reason why the FSF has previously recommended that people don't use the term "intellectual property" -- because it is very misleading.

I could rephrase your statement as "...the more people understand why the idea of granting exclusive rights to an intellectual concept is stupid". I suspect it doesn't materially change your feeling on the subject, but it's important to discuss these things as they really are, or else people will just dismiss your argument without thinking about it.

Yes, but a given string of text does not specify a language.

"Is this a valid program?" is syntactically and semantically valid Ruby for example. But in itself it will just throw an error [some might argue this means it is not a valid program, but these errors are part of the normal runtime control flow of Ruby]. Depending on environment, however, it can do something else.

E.g. if your environment contains this:

def program?; 42; end
def valid(arg); arg; end
def a(arg); arg; end
def this(arg); arg; end
def Is(arg); arg; end

Then the string

Is this a valid program?

Will execute and return 42.

A lot of random text will be valid programs in any number of existing languages without any intent for them to be so. But any random text can be valid programs in an infinite number of possible languages that does not yet exist.

So the question of what is a valid program is very much a philosophical one about whether or not the intent of the author matters in the face of processors that can re-interpret the data in ways it was not intended.

The computer I grew up with was the BBC's little brother, the Acorn Electron. Lovely little thing. Only 32 kB of RAM, but it had a special port at the back where basically the motherboard itself could be extended, so there were official and unofficial extensions that let you extend this little computer-in-a-keyboard to a massive desk-filling beast with a whopping 224 kB of ROM (though still only 32 kB of RAM). It had no power switch, so you had to use the wall plug to turn it on or off, and with all this stuff added it had become so unstable you often had to try a couple of times before it would boot without hanging.

Fun times.

The problem with the dark matter model is that it has more free variables so epistemologically it's just "able to fit more". At some level it feels like that time in high school physics (gravity lab with ball bearings) when one of my classmates proudly showed off a sixth order Excel polynomial fit of five data points with an R^2 of 0. (That doesn't mean dark matter is wrong)

Of course. How else would a subscription service work? That's the whole distinguishing point between renting and buying content. Do you suggest being able to subscribe to Spotify for a month and downloading half their catalogue for you to keep forever?

I'm surprised by the downvoting on this thread. Kumarvr asked for examples of things math doesn't explain. Simple examples of things math doesn't (at this time) explain (e.g. psychology; dreams) were downvoted.

Why? There's no way to know why. Just downvotes. Maybe someone thinks math explains physics, which explains [...], which explains dreams. Maybe that's not it at all. Who knows?

I can only speak for myself here, but silly downvotes are the primary reason I'm disengaged with this otherwise really great site.
I work with software development, but the majority of my programming is still done idly, and to me that is the case for a lot of people who work with development, and many who do not.

Conversely, though, a lot of art is intentionally created and is someones job, so I find that distinction rather strained.

There is always 'censorship' in operation. Either overtly when things are not allowed or covertly where some things are simply not aired, people not given visas, opportunities, blacklisted and generally isolated. The problem is when people take an absolute and utopian position pretending these are actually not in effect when they always have.

Perfect examples are hate speech and incitement to violence and even things like nudity and pornography. Most countries have laws against this. For instance most islamic extremism videos and content are already banned and taken down rapidly, preachers and other known purveyors of hate are not given visas and are not allowed to air their views. That's clear cut and no one has a problem with it.

Since most ideologies and religions have an extreme element they will propagate extreme views and incite hate, and the question then becomes if you are comfortable having social media full of people openly spreading hate against religions, race, sex or any other subgroup.

And its here we must explicitly beware of double standards and some people supporting some kinds of extremism opportunistically and muddying the waters under the pretext of free speech because it doesn't threaten them personally.

There is a difference between wanting their views to be public and wanting your neighbours, parents, co-workers etc. to know about them.

Through a lot of human history, people have fought for certain views exactly because they faced oppression and immediate risk to their person for those views.

E.g. gay people wanting equal rights in societies where they at times may place their life at risk to come forward.
After the new EU copyright directive passed parliament, I went on a bit of a hunt for reasons. Outside Germany, we simply didn't get traction for protest. And one reason people gave was "it won't be enforcable anyhow".

This here clearly shows what Germans have known for years thanks to our stupid "Abmahnwesen" legal abnormality: enforcement is not the bottleneck when private entities sue other private entities. It won't be a Hadopi-style government institution petitioning $youtube to take down any videos at the threat of a mild fine. It will be $sony suing the crap out of $youtube with the prospect of millions and millions in reparations. There is zero reason to believe they will be anything less than maximally-aggressive in doing so, and so they will provide all the incentive $youtube needs to block everything that has a hint of a smell of copyrighted material.

And bear in mind, the EU regulation defines $youtube in a way that potentially includes most small forum operators, virtually every community built by a small corporation etc. And there's equally no reason to believe those will be spared by the copyright industry and their lawyers.

I despise this kind of mentality which tries to demonize someone's passion to actually write a beautiful code. This kind of mentality takes away "the human factor" from the working environments turning IT jobs into delivery driven factories. I for one need to enjoy my work to actually be productive. And don't get me wrong - I understand that product people need to deliver products and they enjoy doing their diagrams and presentations but I am an engineer, and I like myself and my life and as a result I just want to do and be surrounded by beautiful things so I honestly don't give a shit if some product will not be delivered on time because product managers did include only business requirements and ignored requirement of my engineering team that we need to be able to sign our name under the code we write and be surrounded be beautiful things in our work life. Sorry, but engineers are part of the team, part of the product, if you ignored that at the beginning, it is not our fault.

Also, ability to write beautiful code implies the ability to deliver code much more then vice versa because there is a good chance that someone who actually is capable of writing beautiful code had to get to that level by actually also delivering stuff to production in the past.

So yes, in my world, someone who writes a beautiful code (meaning - correct, performant, maintainable, understandable, clever and so on) is a pretty good candidate to be a role model.
Renting an apartment is the city equivalent of booking a chalet or villa at a different holiday location: You get multiple rooms, a kitchen and a fridge.

Obviously if you're travelling alone or with someone you're happy to share a bed with, that's irrelevant. But if your group has 3 people who would prefer not to share a room, a rented apartment works out cheaper than three hotel rooms.

The UK does it and the media spins it as "penalizing social media for harmful online content". China does it and the same media spins it as "oppressing, tyrannizing and controlling the people".

Just like when germany passed censorship laws, the media praised it and russia copied the german censorship laws and the media spun it as "tyrant oppressing and controlling the russian people".

So is romeo and juliet going to be banned suicide because it "encourages" suicide? What about suicide/euthanasia documentaries which support doctor-assisted end of life programs?

What about books like ( bible, koran, mein kampf, etc ) that encourages violence? Is project gutenberg going to be shut down? What about all the media companies who supported wars in iraq, libya and the middle east? Are they going to be shut down? Are they going to be shut down for encouraging violence?

We have government agencies that spread fake news and disinformation. Is that going to be banned? What about PR firms whose business is spreading fake news and disinformation?

And what is children accessing inappropriate material? A christian or muslim parent thinks that lgbt material is inappropriate. Does that mean we have to scrub the internet of lgbt material? An atheist might be religious material as inappropriate for children. Do we ban religious material from the internet?

Whenever politicians use "children" as an excuse to justify more laws and regulations, it's rarely about protecting children. These people don't care about children. They care about power and control.

Once agin, the UK is at the forefront of censorship.
There seriously should be a law against such "carpet bombing".
Toshiba Libretto
What would you consider the best/easiest way to setup your own?
Kind of, but not for the reasons they want me to like it. The redesign itself is terrible in almost every way, but in being so terrible it really drives a point home I've been thinking about for a while: the "best practices" of modern SPA design and implementation can really lead to drastically reduced functionality.

It might look slightly easier on the eyes (debatable) but other than that, actually using the redesign is worse in almost every way. It's slower than the previous version and there's way less information on a page, yet this is the app you'd get if you followed all the "common wisdom" about building a web front end in 2019.

Compare this to something like craigslist, or pinboard, or HN, which are all theoretically "ugly" but all very fast and very easy to use. Content notwithstanding the user experience on craigslist is infinitely better than the one on new Reddit.

So yes, I like the redesign, but only in the sense that is has highlighted all of the bad parts of modern web design to me in a very concrete way.
