From systems pre-error-correction... Think RS-232 serial for example... No error correction there, so people typically don't push hardware too close to the limits of bit rates because every bit error will cause some breakage. Even today, a lot of modern devices talk with RS232-like protocols, and none of them have even parity bits - it's just assumed error rates are so low as to be zero across the useful life of the product.

They do worse than this; one of the articles in the section uses a bad Google translation in Yoruba, from 2018, and uses that to claim it “is therefore still baffled by the sorts of questions a toddler would find trivial”. I'm not sure Yoruba even used neural nets at that time!—‘massively multilingual’ training only really came about in 2019, and was productiviced June this year.

A disappointing show from The Economist, given how little effort it would have taken to check with the newest model.
Yes, "make an explicit choice regarding mutability" can be done even easier by actually writing "immutable double[] arr = [1, 2, 3];", "const double[] arr = [1, 2, 3];". See, no Scala val/var which to a person who doesn't know the language tell nothing. When the language grammar is unambiguous and coherent you have faster compiling times and occasionally better readability. D hits a nice spot in here by capitalizing on C++ mistakes.

"optional parentheses introduce ambiguity" -- true, they do. However, I am struggling to understand why it is necessarily a bad thing? For a user I see a clear convenience of being able to write "double[] zeroArr = arr.zeros;" or "double[] newArr = 6.iota.sliced(3, 2).array.reverse.dropOne.join;". And if that is not enough, you can also inject your custom method into this chain and it will just work. Don't know about Rust but Scala simply refuses to compile in such cases which for a functional language looks like a limitation.

These are the D features that I really enjoy.

Good point. I really meant reference counting as implemented in the Objective-C runtime architecture.
since you’re working on the field : i’m still under the impression that modern ML (neural network in particular) are not producing any science, nor are they producing any level of understanding of the phenomenon it’s trying to model. And that as such, we can’t provide a reliable estimate of the limitations of the produced model, other than by feeding it tons of inputs and measure the result.

It would be like trying to understand gravity by throwing thousands of rocks, measuring the motions, and build an approximation on a huge matrix, without ever being able to get the « real » netwonian formula.

Two things, ecosystem and diversification. For an ecosystem, build a suite of products that all work together so you solve a complete set of problems and lock customers in. Anyone can easily switch to a new video call provider, but it's far harder to do that when that provider is linked to your email and your calendar and so on. And diversification is just that - dont put all your eggs in one basket. Grow the business. AWS is immensely profitable and has nothing to do with buying books online, but amazon is a stronger business because of it. And if you just stick to your core product, you'll find yourself going the way of blockbuster or Kodak.

And for the slack point - Really? I would be surprised if they didn't. Collaboration is pretty much the core of slack and they already let you share documents, making it possible to edit them seems like an obvious next step.
Not necessarily - an alternative approach is that "public service" projects like IA are supported by the state - but this will only happen when they are scrupulous with respect to the law.

Is Police brutality a handcuff design issue?
‪Police brutality in the US happens while restraining the suspect. I am from a country where police brutality means beating the shit out of the suspect until they confess. So the American problem is a design issue. The Handcuffs is a dumb design. It’s not ergonomic. People are too wide, too fat and too tall and too big these days to be restrained with handcuffs behind their back. The police departments need help to redesign the handcuff and find better ways to restrain suspects with non lethal equipment. Hackers, product designers, martial artists and even those who are bondage fetish professionals can contribute greatly. All lethal weapons are by definition lethal. There has to be a mechanism to deactivate them. ‬
Not sure how much actual conspiracy is in there, but I've definitly noticed that the gap between "consumer software" (highly optimized for ease of use but also highly limited and designed with a specific intention how users should interact with it) and "professional software" (powerful and flexible but only usable after extensive training, often command-line only) is widening instead of closing.

There are also definitly conscious design descisions how "cryptic" a particular feature should appear to users. I remember several bugzilla threads with discussion whether a config option should be exposed as an "ordinary" field in the settings or only as an option in about:config, so that normal users won't find it.
Presumably you're not part of any group that could be abused, targeted or traumatized by such a system. For example, underage rape victims who have videos of their rape forever available to any pervert online.

That, btw, was a true example from my social media feeds although the site in question was pornhub so there was some recourse.

Is it just me or are DRM controlled ebooks a complete scam?!

Consider:

1. Ebooks go through great length to make the information behave like a physical book.

2. Libraries have to buy as many licenses as they can plan to lend our concurrently

3. Licenses will even expire after a bit, because that's what real book do, they wear of.

So far so good (if your goal is to simulate real books).
But now:

1. Wanna give your ebook to a friend? nada

2. Wanna lend your ebook to a friend? nada

3. Wanna use the book after companies decide to disable their license servers? nada

4. Imagine a few hundred years from now. We can still look at old books because they exist and their content is not controlled. That would not be possible.

Of course it is always possible to remove the DRM protection, but that is illegal.

We've been duped.

I just tested in Terminal.app (macOS) with zsh and several things happen:
If you do nothing but run `echo -n 'hello world'` and then resize the window, the next line prompt will be jittery (it'll jump left and right as you resize but ultimately return to the correct position). My prompt is "14:41:44 ~ ️ <cursor>" and if I resize fast enough, the previous line (the one with the output `hello world%` starts displaying characters on the right side. Characters from the next line. If I do it fast, it becomes obvious what it's doing: Fragments of the next line is copied to the previous line, so the right part of 'hello world%' is filled with: `111141414:314:3914:3914:39:` after a few resizes.

If you press return again (executing no command) then the buggy output is now fixed and no magical behavior occurs.

That's the reason I disable it and install Ghostery instead. uBlock Origin makes youtube videos stutter at about the 2 second mark on my Raspberry Pi 3's (I don't know about the rpi 4's because I remove uBlock and install Ghostery as a default nowadays) and also my laptop, which runs Windows instead of Linux (so it's not just an OS issue.)

Ghostery doesn't have as many bells and whistles, but it does greatly minimize the main annoyances out there, and it doesn't slow anything down noticeably.

It might all be a moot point by this time, since Youtube has changed how they load in such a way that it stutters no matter what because it is so busy downloading absolutely every item on a page all at one time instead of prioritizing the video stream like it did about a decade ago (back when you could pause a video and it would download fully even while not yet playing, thus avoiding the bottlenecks altogether...).

Ironically that puts me back to pausing everything first just to give all the useless off-screen crap enough bandwidth to load without ruining the video experience.

No matter how much faster technology gets, they find a way to make it more and more sluggish every time.

Sorry, I don't buy the "Harvest of Rage" thesis.

Far more workers suffered far more terribly when the workers at steel mills, coal mines, car manufacturers, etc. all got shafted at the hands of Reagan in order for the oligarchs to bust up unions.

And all of these "good, salt-of-the-earth folk" CHEERED REAGAN ON. Such a terrible shame to see these people now sliced and diced by the sword that they were happy to see used on others.

"Harvest of Rage" is trying to excuse a bunch of bigoted idiots who aren't smart enough to figure out that maybe ... just maybe ... they have more in common with the poor city dwellers than the billionaire oligarchs.

> There will be less trash on the market and more high quality work

Actually, only those with lots of disposable time, or who can purchase others’ time, will produce content.
Let me use an analogy:

We have furniture and some furniture uses screws to hold it together.

A furniture manufacturer decides to create a new line of furniture and introduces a new type of screw that requires you use a new screwdriver.

This screwdriver and screws are magical, they can magically alter themselves over time in small ways - they can change color, the handle can become rubberized or change texture, etc.

There's a whole group of people working on deciding how the screwdriver and screws magically alter themselves and which rubber material is best, which color is most pleasing, etc. They're so wrapped up in it, they never stop to ask, wait, why the fuck did this new line of furniture even require new screws and screwdrivers? When I compare the old line of furniture and the new, I can't tell the difference! It's the same shitty furniture!

We have multiple furniture manufacturers, why didn't we just agree to use the same screws and screwdrivers for all of them?

I don't get it - the people who are so passionate about screwdriver handles of one single manufacturer, to me, are a bunch of lunatics.

Does that help?
> (or, more practically, that authors continue to author books instead of deciding to go work at a tech company or something)

There are other concerns certainly. But I have trouble understanding how someone who has ever visited Wikipedia or visited github could even ask this question. It sure sounds like a conceptual anachronism to me. (Though not nearly as bad as the person who wanted to shift from discussing copying data to holding up a bank the last time this topic came up.)
> And? It is still a break of the terms of the concent, is it not?

Assuming I understood your original hypothetical correctly, the sex had already occurred and the violation of the terms of consent did not occur until afterward. The sex at the time was consensual (at least within those facts), the violation of trust occurred later.

> How about an alternative, "you can have sex with me but only if you are single", and someone who is not single lies about it. During sex said person is not going to be single and thus is breaking the terms of concent while sex is happening.

Yes, that is a clear violation of consent. One partner stated their acceptable boundaries to have sex, and consented only based on a lie by the other. Lying to obtain consent is fundamentally not obtaining consent. In other contracts, it would be considered fraud. Using fraud to trick someone into having sex with you is rape.

Edit: this is not just academic. People make judgments not just about whether to have sex but about what kinds of safety considerations are necessary based on this kind of information. If someone is lying to you about having other sexual partners, you are not equipped to evaluate the risk of your own sexual encounter. They are putting your life at risk and eliminating your ability to choose whether that risk is acceptable.
