It can be telling how people react to being asked about X. I tend to ignore conversations if someone gets annoyed about getting asked what they're really trying to do. Though you do have to consider whether they just don't understand enough about what they want to do, to know what question to ask.

A special case of Y questions are the overly abstract or general ones. "How do I [solve this kind of problem]?" It's understandable that people try to build up a repertoire of problem solving techniques, but this can be very annoying if the specific X question is simple to answer, whereas the general question is difficult. Sorry to say, but I tend to also ignore questions (I'm thinking of chat rooms) that seem overly general any more, unless I'm in a mentoring mood.

When you open a file, it copies it, renaming it in the process.

You can manage the files yourself and point it at that, but the default, eg. if you choose to open a file from any old place, is to copy into its own naming and organization scheme.

I was. We were nice to each other. He's a dear friend. I don't think either one of us were being unkind to the other. I stayed on the call as long as I could. I wanted to help him out. He was just trying to scope down the conversation at the wrong time. I understand his motivations and reasons, but it was premature.

I worked with a really smart leader of a large agency many years ago. Not only a nice guy, he was also brilliant and on top of everything.

I could see several projects he had were going off-the-rails. Why?. Because he kept asking technical questions and getting technical answers. The questions were fine but context-free. The answers were good but context-free.

There was no X. He kept asking Y questions and getting really smart, detailed answers. It was a terrible mess. If you have no context for a technical answer, the only thing an answer is going to do is confuse you.

It's like the old joke about the guys getting lost in a hot air balloon. As they passed over a building, they saw some people on the ground.

"Where are we?"

"In a hot air balloon!"

Now that's a joke, but it hides a truth: without context and a shared language you can get answers all day long to questions and not be any better off at the end than when you started. Probably worse off.
You can always include abstract machine as part of native executable. Sometimes (JIT compilation comes to mind) it leads to superior performance compared to "classical" native code. Thus, both some inefficiencies and some distribution nightmares (you only need to write abstract machine once for a given platform) will be mitigated.

> I'm just saying that free citizens should not be obligated to serve Nazis or publish their content. ... Specifically, I'm for free speech and free association.

The analogy with Nietzsche's quote gets even closer. Much the same pious rhetoric about free association was once used by your opponents to defend their denial of service to various racial and religious groups. It took years of activism to get legislation that recognized that freedom of association had to be limited to stop discrimination against protected classes. Consider that California has recently enacted legislation that recognizes political affiliation as a protected class in the workplace; that is the spirit and philosophy of liberalism.

And, for the record, no, no one should want to provide service to Nazis or other hate groups. But once denying services to groups becomes normalized as a political weapon, we are pretty much guaranteed that it will eventually be misused.

> ...that criticism is equivalent to what the PRC does, is hyperbolic pants-wetting

I note that you have deftly slipped in the word "criticism" here when the topic was deplatforming. Criticism is, of course, not equivalent to what the PRC does but deplatforming most assuredly is.

The mechanics I lived with were boat & big diesel. Those engines (and aircraft) are maintained on an hourly basis. In fact, your car is too: you change your oil every 3000 miles or 3 months. The idea being that there is an expected speed, and you’ve accumulated (say) 100 operating hours after driving 3000 miles, or in any 3 month period. As such, all these guys computed engine/vehicle life in terms of cost-per-hour.

It’s weird to me that just about every piece of mechanical equipment you’ve ever heard of is measured in terms of operating hours, but not cars? Color me skeptical.

As to the 0.58$/mile: an hour at 55mph would be, what? 31.90$?

> ...reclassify exploitation of cognitive failure modes as a type of initiation of force.

Yeah, I think there's some room for that, and the law (as you point out) is already somewhat headed that way. I think we need to be careful also not to write laws we can't afford to enforce fairly, or read too much into people's private interactions.

I remember having to help my employer prove that they were not the reason I wasn't in school when I was 17; and I think even with that they were still at my mercy. As a result of this, and a pretty large number of other experiences, I'm very very sensitive to the unintended outcomes of the law, and the limits of legislators' ability to understand what precisely they are doing.

This is the immediate problem. Ignore the FAANG issues for a second, and imagine considering a rental with locks, lights, and thermostats that write to a database your landlord controls.
With a baby monitor in the living room that the landlord controls.

Getting back to the "smart home" features, allowing your landlord the ability to apply parental controls to restrict your use of features, purchases, requests; and to record them. The privacy issues go well beyond simply installing listening devices which can eavesdrop on tenants.

I personally get a lot of use out of the devices.

“Alexa set a timer for 7 minutes” when your hands are full in the kitchen is really great.

Music in the shower without having to fiddle around with my phone is nice too.

Turning off alarms from bed without having to fumble around in the mornings is a bit dangerous, but also a real pleasure.

With all that said, I still understand why people are concerned about their privacy, but even without other smart devices, the Echo is really quite useful.
He probably meant Buddhists.

I consider myself a huge music collector/enthusiast that maintains a carefully organized collection and the file system is way too limited to handle anything but the most simple music organization and browsing tasks. I’d go as far as far as suggesting that relying on the file system is a rather casual way of handling a music collection.

iTunes brought library management and meta data editing to the masses, which is a good thing. While Roon is my main player/management software I still use iTunes to sync to iOS devices. Of course I won’t let iTunes move any files - there’s an option that tells iTunes not to move anything. So you could actually have it both ways: Use your preferred file structure and benefit from proper library management software.

"As if there was no tomorrow" - exactly, because once you add another column suddenly $4 points to something completely different and you have to rewrite everything.

It makes a bit more sense if, like the patent office, you view it through the lens of "subject matter directly reducible to an electronic circuit design". Algorithms that meet this criterion are, by necessity, patentable in every country that allows patenting of electronic circuit designs. Most theorems in mathematics are not like this.

(This is a deep rabbit hole. All mechanical patents have the same theoretical equivalence to computer algorithms, though less obvious. The lines that define patentable subject matter do not have a rigorous basis, it is an arbitrary convention.)

This is also why so-called business method patents (i.e. doing X, but on the Internet), which are often improperly conflated with algorithm patents under the rubric of "software patents", are generally not patentable.

Courts don't decide hypothetical questions. They decide on the case before them, constrained by the precedents of previous cases.

A judge can use examples and hypotheticals (called "obiter dictum"), but that doesn't create a binding precedent and later judges may ignore it, refute it or alternatively convert it into precedent by adopting the reasoning in a decision.

No, you can do a lot of griefing with the ability to remotely control locks, fixtures, appliances and thermostats.
No, I mean smart devices are used to harass women in entirely new ways.

Men often are the ones who setup the devices. Even if they have a restraining order they will turn music on in the middle of the night, mess with the lights, turn the thermostat down etc. Before a restraining order smart devices are often used for monitoring.

I think it's fair to say that JWST isn't just a tweaked KH like Hubble. The mirrors and sensors in JWST are completely optimized for infrared, which is a borderline-useless part of the spectrum for high-res terrestrial surveillance. Optical scopes also wouldn't need the extensive sunshield and cooling systems that JWST will. By the time that a theoretical secret optical JWST-KH were retrofitted with new mirror designs, new sensors, and new active and passive cooling systems for a public infrared science mission, you basically have a completely redesigned satellite.

My simulation just runs classical physics (Coulomb's law + Newton's laws). It's missing any mechanism for super conductivity. Although, I could just turn off friction.

I think superconductivity means the electrons pair up and stop colliding through the Pauli exclusion principle. I didn't code any collisions, so maybe it's already modeling a crappy version of superconductivity!

I've found that if I need something oddly specific most people wouldn't be able to help anyway (and those who could would have to invest a lot of time in that specific case to understand it).

I've simply stopped asking for help with those. IMO there's some point after which it's counterproductive for both parties.
And there's the detail that of course any such punishment will make the problem infinitely worse. Why are laws always written from the point of view that the state is all-powerful, that it can and will solve whatever problem such a law creates ? It just won't. This sounds, on the surface like it will improve kids' lives, but it will make quite a few kids' lives a LOT worse once you take into account that there's nothing the the state can do here. It cannot replace parents it takes away (nor would kids accept those new parents).

(Before you say "but child services/adoption/foster care", read about how well kids are supervised there. Foster care is a LOT worse for kids than being ignored at home)

That is a business method patent, not an algorithm patent. They are completely unrelated.
Which control?

What been tightened up is censorship. However, censorship is not completely equals to control.

I know what you meant. You want all the rights in the constitution, so did I. But get things cooked require time. The current situation is, if you trying to get that a rush, then you will be cracked down and set everything back. Somebody tried that 30 years ago already and failed.

During the few decades of my life, what I've experienced is that the government move themselves more and more into a service role. The goal has been changed from gaining political dominance to generating profit. And they are more willing to act according to laws rather than just make some random new rules.

And all that is because we're now relying on an economy that depends on openness. Which, is hard to change as long as economical development is still the top one goal. And it will be, otherwise everything will fell apart.

So, unlike you, I'm pretty optimistic about the future. Few shady things and setbacks won't change that.

1. Don't join them.

2. If you do join them, don't forget, one of the original goal of CCP is to bring democracy to China. So try do that from time to time as an inside job will you?

Of course, I personally like to keep things simple, I don't join them.

When the stealth bomber was top secret and still being tested, most of the army, air force, and navy was unaware of it. Something flying at such a high altitude was considered impossible. Naturally, Air Force fighter pilots were some of the first to observe it, and some of those pilots wondered out loud if it was an alien encounter. No one at Area 51 corrected them. So, this could be a similar scenario. It could even be the case that those working on this unidentified flying object did not know the new radar tech was being tested. The many branches of the DoD are not as coordinated as they may seem.

I still don’t believe there was unassisted visual confirmation. And if they are using combined radar imagery, it seems that much more likely that a glitch in one radar system would cause a glitch in all systems. Then again, I’m heavily speculating.
I do this too with the little journals. Started in 2011 and am on journal #72 at the moment. They still fit in a shoebox.

I just want to point out that the example is really poor behavior on the part of the teacher: Shouting in all-caps to ASK FOR WHAT YOU REALLY WANT is more likely to result in the newbie not asking at all next time.
