"The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live -- did live, from habit that became instinct -- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The issue is that crates.io is essentially a GitHub account owners only club. Although I guess that's Rust development in general.
I share these concerns and wonder how much of its opening salvos we've already witnessed on Reddit and elsewhere. One of the tactics I've observed is generating passable quality noise between accounts to push actual important info and links in threads down. The lower they get pushed, and the more low quality the discourse in a comments section appears, the lower likelihood of people getting important information or seeing evidence of something being fake news.

I suspect we'll see this in full effect sooner rather than later with the election upon us on the US.

Can something be trained to detect gpt-3 and things like it?
Haha. Exact same
This is news? The US military has been actively recruiting online at least since 2002 when they released the America's Army first-person shooter whose sequel releases continue to this day.

Yeah, Windows CE was used everywhere as a sort of “web browser” for equipments because it’s lightweight and somewhat stable.

Too bad Microsoft didn’t understand why customers has no business with NT and just let the market go for other choices like Android or Linux+Qt.

Why do I have an obligation to answer to your justifications for endless, evil war? Your position is, in my opinion, just plain evil. How about you think about what the US military is doing to the world, educate yourself about the real cost to humanity, and then we can discuss it.

Because all you are doing is parroting the death cult mantra that your military is the best because you need it and it has to be used 'or else'.

Clearly, you have not understood something: Iraq lost 5% of its population to America's illegal war. Yemen is currently being GENOCIDED with US military support. The world is literally littered with evidence of America's heinous crimes against humanity, and many, many war crimes. Not to mention a terrorism regime like no other.

What you think is an honourable and necessary effort, is truly just dire evil. If any other country in the world was doing what America thinks it has a God-given right to do, they'd have been glass parking lot'ed into oblivion already.

But, because America has a very large threat to use in bullying other nations around (its nuclear arsenal, its ridiculous navies), nobody can stand up to that evil. Just like a psychopathic organism engaged in endless evil acts, America will have to self-destruct instead, and indeed - that is what is happening today.
Indeed, any modality that AI can perfectly imitate decreases trust in said modality. Visual modalities are more critical as they are more difficult to fake.

Though to do significant damage in this manner, you'd probably need to hold all media as hostages via mass scale social engineering. But at that point, trustworthiness of the news is a minor concern among all AI safety issues. Then the AI can literally wipe clean the entire planet barring a small elite using via nanobots, bio-engineering and drones. This is a highly likely event as there is a very strong incentive to prevent another AI from doing the same first.
This kind of thing drove me away from MOOCs for certain subjects. There was the Human Computer Interface course where your UI was graded by three peers. On multiple assignments I would get a strong positive with comments, a strong negative with comments contradicting the very things the other peer graded positive, and then a "good job". It was utterly useless feedback on things where feedback really was important for learning.

Yes, because the advertising model is a bane on humanity and they should just charge a fee for their content.
But isn’t that true when googling for ANY information?

It’s not a coincidence that big search engine vendors are also busy on machine translation. It’s not a zero-sum game/catch-22. Rather than look at where we are in 2020, consider where we should be in 2030. As automatic on-the-fly translation of general search results improves, programming-specific search results will naturally improve too.
I wonder how it meshes with the idea of property rights.

The title that a NIMBY has is for their lot and their house. It's not on anything next to it, it's not on the view from their windows, not on the social strata living nearby, etc.

I don't see any right to limit the nearby construction from those who already live there, except when the new construction would be dangerous to their health or safety (so no oil refinery next to a housing block).

The mechanism of NIMBYism is noise in media and promises to vote against politicians approving of the construction. I wonder if that can be overcome by counter-noise ("we want to live somewhere!") and promises for vote for the politician form those who benefit from the new development. If the new development is higher density, simple arithmetic of voting would make it politically more profitable to build more units, given that the people who are going to live in them would vote based on that.
What I thought you were going to say was an explanation of how each ingredient affects the characteristics of the cookie.

Eg you could have the nice deterministic name like you say, but also something like “with high flour to sugar ratio for softness” or whatever the actual truth of the matter is
The article was useless. They could have showed asylums, prisons and liquor stores built during 1996-2006, you know, the year that housing prices peaked and said it had no effect on housing prices.
I never saw those copycats as viable alternatives. Also those "copycats" look nothing like the Segway.
Looks like it. When developer tooling causes conflicts to install globally and tricky to configure with the project (say phpunit) then this can all be taken care of by building it within a docker container. However if the linting also dependent on a specific version of a programming language to test its code now you are no longer testing the production environment.
I don't get it. The article is basically saying that the military is something bad? Then just say it like that. Don't make it about those perfectly fine twitch channels.

it isn't about slow web pages. It is about unwinding a shitty user experience that mobile magnified. How do you punish a shitty UX?
> One of the downsides of being a red state is less will to address environmental concerns like this.

Practically speaking... what would you expect that they do about it?

As a California native, I've seen just how bad short-sighted environmental regulation can be. And it's not like pollution isn't an issue in Los Angeles or the Central Valley, both of which enjoy a strong geographic advantage compared to SLC.

So, what sort of regulation could the state pass that would mitigate the problem? Given the geographical and economic constraints.
How did you work our all these different potential recipes and what their characteristics would be?

No its not. The people of these countries would rather have a dictator who brought stability than chaos. That is true worldwide, for example in Russia. There is hardly a country with constant anarchy for long consistent periods.
Could you elaborate a bit on why do you think full Windows on IoT is a game changer...

I think it’ll drive up unit cost by few hundred dollars on top of tenfold degradation in experience, so my gut feeling is it’s completely disconnected from reality.

That said Microsoft seemed to think the way you think at least at one point, so you’re not alone at all, and it’s interesting where the misunderstanding come from.
To my knowledge that's often because local governments are inherently NIMBYs since they only represent locals by definition. Local governments don't listen to potential locals or outsiders. So I don't really agree that local governments and NIMBYs are different sides of a coin. There is a great amount of overlap and personally I suspect any rules that slow development to be NIMBY motivated.
I believe you are correct. You may find the work "Progress and Poverty" by Henry George of interest and what has come to be known as the Land Value Tax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_value_tax

Prop 13 is killing California, repealing it and replacing it with a Land Value Tax, in my opinion, would fix it.
> declaratively generate Dockerfiles

This is inaccurate, assuming you are referring to the 'dockerTools.buildLayeredImage' function in the nixpkgs repository.

That builds docker images declaratively, not dockerfiles.
I guess we are fixing our lack of compatibility story by encasing our tools in fixed environments. Then write new tooling when this is no longer usable.

That seems like a short term view of things.
> The mechanism of NIMBYism is noise in media and promises to vote against politicians approving of the construction.

The main method of NIMBYism, and the secret to its success, is to put restrictive zoning laws and building codes in place.
It's true that distinguishing these articles from ordinary jointed ramblings of poor writers would be hard. But I'm not sure what the benefit of filling forums with babble has to those running these models.

Bots offering idiocy and idiocy generally has done lots of damage. But by idiocy here I would quite carefully calculated cleverly polarized positions and I don't think just bot-rot would be enough (to maybe coin a phrase).

School performance is not much affected by budget. The terrible high schools in DC have really high budgets. The problem lies elsewhere.

It's really simple. Kids tend to be like their parents. Parents who raise kids well have a strong preference to be among their own kind. The parent who sits down at night to check homework is nothing like the parent who interrupts homework in favor of entertainment. The parent who enforces discipline is nothing like the parent who lets kids run in gangs.

Families are in a bidding war to be with other families that prioritize education. Families without those values will bid lower, and thus be excluded.

Its hard to get dish washer detergent with phosphates these day however its still available for commercial operations. The phosphates make the dishes much cleaner but can cause algae and other problems in the sewage systems. At home we don't use the dish washer much these days but it used to do a pretty crappy job until once I added a little bit of TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) to the detergent.
I actually think America couldn’t have formed an imperial super state. That is really, really hard. Even the pre-eminent superpower of the pre-World-War Era, the United Kingdom, was having her empire fray and tatter before the Wars. The forces at play are too powerful. Rapid collapse would have followed. And that’s even assuming we could have beaten the USSR by 1949 (First Lightning), when opposition nukes enter the picture and the game changes again.

The tools of modern warfare are too widespread and easy to adopt. You can’t do it anymore, the old school empire is just as dead as old school fortresses. Technology has broken it.

I have friends who served in Afghanistan. I’m not unfamiliar with how powerful the US military is. But even that power is too weak.

America’s approach is way more resilient and the control exerted is much easier to retain.

From Wikipedia:

>That will hasten the demise of the internet as a democratic medium

I think you are more or less right, unfortunately. Neal Stephenson's sci-fi book Fall, or Dodge In Hell, contemplated this possibility and suggested we would develop an entirely new layer to the internet based entirely on verified human identities to kind of re-create the internet.

We all had to do the pledge of allegiance in high school every day. You may see that as an adult, but after doing it for over a decade I was just saying we-puppet instead of republic and never understood what it meant or cared. It was just a habit, like saying death to america or something.
Civility? How about you take an honest look at the evil that the US military and its death cult has brought to the world, and then we can be civil.

There is nothing civil about justifying the utter evil that the American military complex is enacting on the world.

Your attempt to avoid confronting that issue is very telling. It is scary, especially if you are a citizen whose military is responsible for these crimes against humanity. It will come back to you, citizen, eventually.
Maybe, but I can't imagine it's easy to reach it, or really establish it. Too many variables to predict.

Like to be clear I don't think it was deliberately engineered to be optimal. If it's engineered at all I'd imagine it's an experiment that escaped.

Read the biography of Ulbricht "American Kingpin". The author does a good job of breaking down the sequence of really stupid things that the Silk Road founder did to expose himself over time. None of them had much of anything to do with the failures of anonymity technologies like TOR. Also, as another response here mentions, ordering fake IDs online to his own home address is exceptionally fucking stupid.
Those things are never, arguably.

The problem is that once they exist, they serve whatever purposes whoever controls them wants. If they want NIMBY stuff, they can be used for this purpose.

I think addressing NIMBY at this level is a fools errand. You can always replace one tool with another.

It is possible to use CSS to have justified text with hyphenated line breaks. Font technology like Opentype will manage ligatures etc. I feel like the basics of laying out glyphs are all there.

What doesn’t feel so great is page filling, and knowing how to break sections so that one doesn’t have a new section at the bottom of a page with only a few lines of text.
Oh, that was sloppy of me. I should have read up more on Swift (I've never used it myself).

That is because most popular depiction of military amount to propaganda and is designed to make you feel good about military. It does not show the ugly or boring or realistic parts of it.

You pretty much never see movie from point of view of civilians living in the place where military operates. Military would not be so cool looking there.

Even death in combat or mistreating civilians is depicted in a way that makes you want to join fight. More realistic (and less popular) depictions don't have thay effect.

What you wrote is just propaganda internalized.
Is the US also "protecting" southern Italy with its military bases, or Germany, Spain, Afghanistan and all the other 600 places certainly set up to "protect", nothing to do with cultural and economical hegemony (which you admit yourself by thinking the us is the "strongest" nation)?

Moreover, where does the supposed protection and strength of a nation go when a temper tantrum baby of a president decides he's too cool to comply to NATO agreements?

This is the modus operandi of a bully, an invader, an exploiter - certainly not that of a protector.

Enjoy the kool-aid.
AP science classes do require a strong lab component. This is required for use of the "AP" trademark on a transcript.

There is a competing college credit test system, International Baccalaureate, that actually includes lab work as part of the test.

Physics and calculus are available too. The right ones would be AP Calculus BC, AP Physics C Mechanics, and AP Physics C E+M.

I must have been confused, or the presumed information source I remembered is much harder to find than expected.

The issue isn't the virus lingering, it's apparently blood clots throughout various organs, which can cause problems years after they come to be. A friend of my family died from unexpected bleeding/brain crushing after a small blood vessel in his brain popped. This was many months after the issue was first noticed, and a few months after one of to-be-two operations was done to prevent that clogged blood vessel from bursting due to over-pressure.

I scored a 96. I was supposed to go Navy Nuclear Power School and become a nuclear power plant technician of some kind. Either a Machinist's Mate (MM Nuclear), Electronics Technician (ET Nuclear), or Electrician's Mate (EM Nuclear).

Turns out I'm color blind. I already had the top secret clearance, ended up as a quartermaster (QM) for Patrol Coastal Crew Charlie at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek in Virginia Beach, under command of SOSCOM (Special Operations Support Command).

A lot of driving around spec ops units on a RHIB (Ridged Hull Inflatable Boat) up and down the Um Qasr river (which is actually more an estuary and canal system, and actually has a lot of different names as it shifts... but that's another story - everyone just calls it 'Um Qasr').

Bottom line, the military will put you where they need you most. Smart people get put into advanced training for very technical ratings. I would probably be working in a nuclear power plant today had I been born with normal color vision. Such is life. Smart people are too rare to waste on shit like infantry. There's plenty of people that can hold a rifle.
If the government believes that it's in the public interest to have low income housing, then the government should pay for it. It's not exactly the same as the homeowners paying themselves, either. Structuring it this way ensures that the cost is allocated fairly across all of society. If we believe that it is in societies interest to have low income housing, then society as a whole should pay for it. The cost shouldn't just fall on a few unlucky homeowners. Making the cost widely and evenly shared makes it equitable.

The big and obvious problem with any variation of this approach is always going to be "who gets to pick x", where x can be

- The system used

- The criteria for who gets a voice and who doesn't, and how much of a voice

- What is called a 'representative sample'

- Etc., etc., etc.

There are only two systems that solve this problem.

Democracy (partially), by effectively abdicating responsibility and saying there are no such criteria.

And religion, where if the rules come from a universally accepted Higher Source, clearly that's who gets to pick x and will be accepted by anyone who accepts the Higher Source.
