No.

In the intervening years somebody else would have done substantially what RMS did: it's not like he's the only hacker of his era who believes software should be free.

There's no guarantee he would have been successful in business and, even if he was, he would have undermined his moral authority on free software. People don't in general have serious doubts about RMS's motivations even if they don't agree with him - he's a true believer - but they can be much more cynical about Google or Facebook and their open source efforts.

If the political system in Chine does not collapse everyone should worry too. Because they are very quickly becoming the #1 economic power in the world and I really do not want to see them spreading their views on authoritarianism and citizens control.

I am of a boring old school of thought that thinks democracy is a pretty cool system and that it should be preserved.

I really hope the Chinese political system collapses at one point. However we should not underestimate the reputation that has a system that tripled the average wage in the last 10 years.

Also I would not trust Bloomberg much outside their field of expertise.
I don't see anything fundamentally wrong with enforcing the speed limit in such a way. Perhaps one could question its efficiency, or the fact that many laws and regulations are enforced inconsistently based on the whims of whoever happens to be in charge. But those seem like small evils, relatively speaking.
You have such poor use of sources to underline your claims it is almost incredible.

What underlines it is seemingly a lack of understanding of statistics, becausee the most "examples", if they can even be called that are from the realm of non-common outlier cases. That's not what statistics operates on mostly - it operates on common cases that cover the largest part of a distribution. Not outlier cases on the ends of a distribution.

In every case you gave an example of some uncommon exception, as if that would somehow be an argument for the rule existing?

Just another article of predicting that China is going to collapse -- these kind of articles have been popping up since 1991.

China is just another big country with a lot of problems. So is US.

Even if China is really going to collapse, what is in it for average people in the US or other countries? To prove that the democracy you believe is correct -- even if that means nearly all the people in the world will suffer from economic slowdown?

That actually works! Thank you.
Both enormous and enormity come from the same etymological roots, enormis "irregular, huge", carrying a connotation of abnormal or irregular, in a negative or bad sense. Enormity specifically came to mean "extreme wickedness" in English, though that meaning is increasingly obscured by usage to mean simply "very big".

Most discerning usage would be that both me "very large scale", but that enormity preserves the meaning of bad at a very large scale.

That's become something of a losing battle as the synonymous usage has become an enormity.

There are ~32.000 tags. No surveillance system is using ImageNet tags to classify people into Buddhists or Not-Buddhist. Most researchers ignore these tags and focus on a 1000 classes, and know that 32k performance is not good (and these artists have no intention of making it work at all). What they are uniquely trying with this Art Project is as much research as it is activism. Note that "mantrap" is defined in synset as "A trap for catching trespassers", and that you are bound to find weird stuff among over 30k categories (imagine what you can say with the 32% most popular words in French...).

This is a photo in question: https://memepedia.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/imagenet-1.p...

This is the route the network took:

person, individual, someone, somebody, mortal, soul (6978) > female, female person (150) > woman, adult female (129) > smasher, stunner, knockout, beauty, ravisher, sweetheart, peach, lulu, looker, mantrap, dish (0)

So it was (politically) correct on the first three categories, and the last one was either a crapshoot (and she could also have gotten to the subcategory of "prostitute" > "streetwalker, street girl, hooker, hustler, floozy, floozie, slattern") or she really is posing in a common "beautiful woman"-way. (The global description for this route is "A very attractive or seductive looking woman" and often triggers for females with tilted heads and lip curls).

You can turn any faces dataset into a labeled face color dataset, so if a black person being subclassified as "negro" is problematic bias or encoded racism, then all such datasets are suspect. Noisy labeled data is the norm, not some horrible exception to be avoided at all costs.
The more you impose completeness of morality into a data set, the more inconsistent your results will be.

If I duplicate the state of a paused algorithm and then immediately unpause both of them, even if I did it with no time in between, I can't claim that the second one is the first one. If the algorithm makes up some "mind", a new one is created - and there is a new person.

My point is basically that I will not magically look through someone else's eyes, even if the someone is my copy.
> I've been thinking for a while that the podcasting business is ripe for disruption in terms for revenue models.

Don't worry, your widely known ideas for making podcasts bad have already been considered and implemented.

> Perhaps I'm not aware and these models have been tried already?

Yes. The former is DI / DAI through podcasting platforms (rather than the more artisanal and self-hosed podcasts, whether it's baked-in or DI). The latter is subscription platforms like Acast Access, Spotify (which bought several podcasting studios like Gimlet and Parcast) or Luminary, or "premium podcasts" features (with either subs or one-off buys).

I worked for the HP calculator back in the early 90s. It was the first generation HP calculator that is looking to using new keyboard technology. The amount engineering effort to keep the tactile feedback was significant. It had to be just the right amount of click as well as the amount of pressure needed to make the contact.

The tactile feedback on the HP calculators is one of the those things that defined that product.
The C# (and other .NET compilers) treat an assembly as the smallest unit they will emit. You'd have to change that to some semblance of "object files" instead along with a "linker" step afterwards to allow for an assembly to be made up of different languages. Again, this is how the compilers work currently, so MSBuild (well, the default targets) just go along with this. This has nothing to do with MSBuild, which basically just tracks items, properties, targets, and tasks. It doesn't care about the semantics of all that.

Or, you know, use ILMerge, which is pretty much the equivalent of the JS bundlers you mention. With some custom MSBuild targets you should be able to create a project file that contains C# and F# files, both of them compile to intermediate assemblies (although you can't have circular dependencies between both), and a step afterwards merges the assemblies into the actual one.
I haven't seen a single use case, or a proposition, to use AI classification on such a raw task as classifying whether someone is a criminal or not just by the photo. Any sane person would see that such an endeavor would by itself present so many problems in a society, way longer before we even get to the racist bias of a statistical distribution. So what is the danger really?
Startups Are Using Insect Larvae to Produce Protein-Rich Ingredients for Animals
I'm not sure what to make of your Bigfoot example; it seems more driven by the circumstance that nobody really at all cares whether Bigfoot wins or loses outside maybe of some scientific fields. I could imagine that claiming that Bigfoot does exist at a zoology conference would land you in some professional trouble, though not nearly as much as something that people actually do care about such as whether vaccines cause autism.
(Conversely, I don't think not-Bigfoot is in fact in the victory condition outside of science: 14% of people [1] profess to believe in it, and I figure that if tomorrow SciAm posted an article that Bigfoot had been discovered, most people would shrug and accept it. I suspect this should bother any people outside of science who actually have an interest in not-Bigfoot, and I do have a vague recollection of seeing some post on FSTDT back in the days where Christian fundamentalists were agitating hard against Bigfoot because they were afraid it would be used as "missing link" style evidence for evolution.)

Maybe a better rephrasing of the victory condition is something like "nobody who will ever be in a position to make a significant decision that depends on this belief can get away with disagreeing with it". By that definition, non-Bigfoot wins because approximately nobody except maybe for people controlling federal animal conservation budgets will ever make any significant decisions based on non-Bigfoot, and those probably are judged by scientists; on the other hand, the pro and contra on Stallman's cancellation materially influences decisions all of us will make every time we decide which conferences to sign up for, universities to accept jobs at or Twitter accounts to bolster the influencer status of.

Downvoting itself is not perceived as nasty behaviour. Seeing somebody else be nasty in defense of a belief X harms belief X; not seeing anyone ever defend or even bring up belief not-X because anyone who would do so is afraid of becoming a target of nasty behaviour, on the other hand, surely would help belief X.

I beg you to reconsider the repercussions of holding grudges, especially in the FOSS community. All too often I see this pattern where people take a few disagreements too personally and hold them against each other for eternity. I know who you're talking about specifically (I was on the IRC channel at the time) and I know that they are genuinely trying to make it up to you (full retractions, refraining from speaking ill of the sort in the future, attempting to adjust their behavior so that they are not so quick to jump to so-called "hot takes" or other aggressive behavior). I hope that you, in turn, could also, in your own time, learn to forgive and let go as well. Please, for the sake of good FOSS everywhere - I know the two of you could accomplish so much!

That's kinda jumping the gun - just because something is compiled to C, doesn't mean that it has all of the characteristics of C. That's like saying that because something is compiled to assembly, it has all the complexities and dangers of assembly.

For example, take a look at Cython, CGo etc.

Regarding concurrency, Nim has cross-platform thread support in the standard library. Concurrency, at least right now, is more memory safe than other languages, but also more restrictive. Each thread has its own heap, and and memory from one thread's heap cannot be referenced by another thread's heap without use of unsafe pointers. One can, however, copy memory from one heap to another.

There are more abstract currency mechanisms detailed in the manual (primarily for work that is well-suited for threadpool use cases)

Perhaps, but I too frequently encounter the notion that having the legal right of way means one doesn't have to look. I've especially encountered this with bicyclists. Sometimes they'll tell me that it's ok because if someone hits them, they'll get a huge lawsuit judgement. I counter with what good is that if you're dead or crippled?

> mass starvation and violent deaths of hundreds of thousands

America in its reign is responsible for that itself, it's also saved hundreds of thousands if not millions. So it's nothing new. Mao killed millions, was no big thing, and the modern CCP thinks that he's the reason for China's eventual success. CCP around for a hundred or more years something similar is bound to happen, just see what they are doing the Uigurs. So yeah that sort of rhetoric really doesn't fly in the face of political reality where empires kill and starve millions without batting an eye. WWII killed 55 million, and I don't regret that it happened. I wish it didn't have to happen this way, but I don't see any other way to curtail CCP's growth or power... if this does not happen then the most likely outcome is CCP will be triumphant and control the significant portion of the world for many years during which it will exercise its power and cost many people their lives and freedom.

In school when we got introduced to calculator, the teacher told us that he was not here to teach it to us. Only maybe guide us, we had a few lessons of us sitting down with the manual and having to learn (mostly by ourselves, but he would also help) how to use the calculator we chose. After that, it was to each its own, he wouldn't give any explanations...

This is IMHO fair, he was anyway teaching us math, not using a calculator.

The wonderful culture and arts you're thinking about is historical. It doesn't really exist in China now. It was mostly wiped out during The Great Leap Forward, along with 30 million people give or take.

Fun fact: advanced Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners travel from China to Japan to learn. Japan preserved records of the TCM knowledge that China destroyed during the great leap.
It's cool, I'm used to it.
"Conectar" was my introduction to computers. When I was a teenager I felt that some people were really making an effort to bring new opportunities but many didn't appreciate it, like teachers who couldn't figure out configuration stuff and just dismissed the effort by the government and personnel who worked in the program because they thought We (many poor children in the "Interior") wouldn't have any kind of curiosity about them. Don't misunderstand me but I used to heard things like "No entiendo para que lanzaron este programa si estos chicos nunca van a ser programadores o van a trabajar de éso"... Of course I can talk about it, It just wasn't about throwing computers to us and expect us to hack our way to success. I think that by mid 2020's Argentina will have much more literate computer users and many people with more expertise in a variety of things, and with that new context We will do better by recycling good ideas and reviewing mistakes from the past.
That's an interesting take.

It would certainly lessen the incentive to switch apps if it was difficult to learn the one you know.

Mysterious Avid Issue Knocks Out Mac Pro Workstations Across Hollywood
I suppose it all depends on whether you think persuasion or group membership signalling is what primarily influences people's beliefs. I was under the impression there was a wealth of studies suggesting that people basically do not respond positively to logical argument but are easily swayed by what they think everyone around them believes, but I completely failed to find any of them (or studies to the contrary, on that matter), so barring someone producing links where I failed, I suppose we can only recognise that we have different beliefs about reality that we do not have easily serialisable/communicable evidence for.

One issue I take with what you said, though, is the notion of a "rational goal". I don't see how this would be defined in my understanding of the terms; goals are axiomatic, (ir)rationality is a property of candidate actions in pursuit of a particular goal. I still get the impression that we probably use different definitions, and yours is much closer to something like "rational"="conducive to intellectual growth". (So in my world a better paperclip maximiser would be more rational, and in yours a better paperclip maximiser would be less rational...?)
I'd just flag that "EVEN in the extreme that you're right more often than you're wrong" is not a meaningful line (if someone wanted to apply it) because the fact is that it's not the number of wrong calls or right calls that matter here - it's which ones and when. For example the project under discussion classifies a photo of my mother as a young woman as a "flibbertigibbet", which is amusing, as a way to tease her now (she is a 70 year old ex prison and probation officer and needs no protection from teasing).

However, had this been done to my daughter and the same result obtained (in fact the result was "blue" but there you go) by someone assessing her potential as a candidate for university - well there's damage.
Ah, then it's fine... probably.
I don't understand why movies like The Wolf of Wall Street would be hard to fund. The talent i.e. DiCaprio, Jonah Hill etc are all great and known actors bound to make a movie succeed, especially DiCaprio. and Scorsese is also a well-known, successful director. Why would producers have any issues funding a movie for them?

Is it the controversial nature i.e. nudity etc that was the problem?
I'm not sure why the code isn't open source on this one. If the OP is hoping that news websites (etc.,) will pay for this service, I wouldn't hold my breath.

This site only highlights all the bad things happening on those sites - and the marketing teams there have most likely already been told by their developers what including 1 million cookies & 50 million tracker APIs will do to the performance. They want this gunk in there so that revenue targets can be met.

So the best bet is to put this up on GitHub where folks like me could learn from the code :-D

Not saying it's one way or ther other, but hypothetically someone could be using some IQ statistics, even if there are issues regarding data collection, :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence

Yes, obviously these statistics would not definitely tell anyone if there is any difference in actual genetic races, or if the factors are socioeconomic, but for someone looking for job candidates it would actually make no difference, since IQ is not generally easily changed or trained in a developed adult.

Of course, they could also just be using their own personal experience and claim that they are basing their beliefs on it.
