> and blocking anything that could be the basis for a lawsuit.

Almost. That is the situation it would create for small venues like Hacker News-- extreme liability issues and heavy handed moves to mitigate them (if not just a shutdown as would probably be the case for many non-for-profit venues).

But Facebook, Google? These multibillion dollar companies have very little to fear from a lawsuit by the likes of me or you.

They could just staff up their legal team and work anyone who sues them into bankruptcy-- they already do. It isn't like litigation against parties for content they post in the US is easy to begin with even when you're not going after a 900 lb guerilla.

It would be bad news for them but ultimately just a cost of doing business. It might even ultimately be the best for their businesses as the ability to endure lawsuits would be one hell of a moat.

I see we are now taking new steps in the world of JS frameworks in order to complicate even hello world !
While this is kind of useful, I think it is made obsolete by modern paradigms such as a component approach, this is probably good enough to sprinkle across some HTML, but so would vanilla JS be, this seems to add little more than proprietary ways of doing event listeners in attributes (yuck!) and binding elements to Controller classes for usage (targets), but it honestly just seems to add more boilerplate and complexity for very little benfit. Maybe I am missing something?
This looks like exactly what I need. Even supports forwarding ssh agent. Thanks!
I agree that the main challenge is to get the developer workflows right and being prescrptive here often should not be a problem from the developers' perspective.

And yes, it would be great to generally hear more about failures but naturally people are less willing to share these stories, I guess.
Please pay attention. I did not say "cancer or whatever". I said cancer [0], a specific family of diseases characterized by normal cells becoming cancerous [1], a state marked by unbounded growth and self-reinforcing DNA damage. Cancer and aging are intimately linked via telomeres [2], part of the structure of cellular DNA. Indeed, quoting the first sentence of [3]:

> Telomeres, the caps on the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes, play critical roles in cellular aging and cancer.

On war, we lose millions of people regularly [4]. We lose about a million people to genocide every year [5]. These are people that, in Bostrom's parlance, we have put on the train to go see the dragon; we sacrificed them for nothing at all. Nothing in Bostrom's tale suggests that, having defeated the dragon, we will stop killing millions of people.

On nuclear war or other disastrous climate change, something you only allude to, the Doomsday Clock [6] is currently at less than two minutes to midnight, and has never been closer. It is widely agreed that we are on the very edge of self-annihilation and that we expend a tremendous amount of political effort simply not destroying ourselves.

I can see that you're a relatively young and inexperienced account; I hope that you do some reading and improve your understanding of biology and history, rather than continuing to lean on mystic or mythic influences for your worldview.

> This is especially true in heavy rains, snow and any driving condition that doesn't follow the nicest of layouts like the Bay Area.

CommaAI also believes lidar are a bad idea.

Tesla has cars using their technology everyday all over the world and thus have 10000x more insight into how conditions effects their hardware/software.

While Waymo has spend 10 years testing in Arizona and basically never once had to contend with these problems.

And lidar does have its issues in certain conditions as well, its not some magic technology.

> They seem to be going to Waymo, Uber, Apple and Nvidia instead.

Very hard to judge that. I would like to see the numbers on that. The main evidence to me is that SpaceX/Tesla always rank highest on 'Where you want to work' for engineering students.

Also, it seems to me that Tesla is focusing very having a basic framework that non-super AI experts can improve the system. That is the only way you can even begin to manage the complexity of the global road network something people like Waymo has defiantly not yet even begin to solve.

> 3D self-driving labs are all building on each other's work, as the cost of GPUs and LIDAR sensors has dropped by orders of magnitude over the last decade.

And Tesla makes its own hardware that dropped even more compared to what everybody else uses.

> Cameras and sensors on the other hand remain more or less where they were 10 years ago, and Tesla is left alone to compete with everyone else.

Lidar by itself does nothing, you still need cameras and sensors as well, so it is purely added cost. There is simply no denying that high quality cheap lidar that can be deployed on millions of cars doesn't exist yet.

I would not be against Tesla using lidar. My more important point is that I think HD mapping is a horrible idea, lidar or not. And as long as that is the way you approach the problem you will never have a general self driving solution.
COVID-19 is a novel virus. All information is misinformation until it isn't. I could say that the reason that some people are asymptomatic is that the virus is lying dormant in them like herpes. Can anyone credibly refute that?

Logic would dictate that a novel virus -- novel in that we don't know everything about it -- is a threat to the survival of our species as a whole until disproven otherwise and that we should collectively do everything that we can to minimize its spread.

What I know to be true is that to curb the infection rate, we should stop spitting in each other's mouths. Yes, there is science at the base of that assertion, but mostly it's just common fucking sense.

If you can tell me how basic common sense is being subverted on a massive scale without the use of a platform of social manipulation, I'm willing to hear you out.

>Yes it does in some cases. Take Alzheimer's disease for example. What is the mechanism for the disease? We don't know. But the consensus is it's not amyloid plaques, based on the most recent data. Some scientists think it still is, but the consensus is it's not.

The scientific justification we have (in the situation you describe) for our belief comes from the data, not the the consensus.

>Scientific truth is not black and white but rather shades of gray. Yes, some things we know the absolute truth (or rather there is so much evidence that it's unlikely it's wrong), but there is plenty that we're just "pretty sure" and that's typically based on consensus.

On the one hand you speak of scientific truth, on the other hand you speak of what we say we know. It's important to consider these things separately. While what we say we know is often based on what we perceive as a consensus view, scientific truth is not. Yes, a person might be pretty sure that the speed of light is three hundred million meters per second because that is what he perceives to be the consensus among physicists. But the "scientific truth", to whatever extent it is an actual thing, is determined by other factors.

Of course, consensus plays a part in the scientific process. When doing research scientists take into consideration scientific consensus. But when it comes to the strength of a scientific theory, consensus is irrelevant. That is determined by things like how much empirical evidence is there that the theory is correct? Are there simpler explanations? etc.

The vast majority of censorship cases are from the left. Cancel culture - the left.

This whole thing is a problem of the left (and I speak as a man of the left, thoroughly disgusted with the affair), and that is what I read from the "screaming" statement, and your counter as a denial of a very clear and shameful phenomenon.
There is a problem though. In a physical setting you cannot do shadow banning. Now in the past 100% of public discussion happened in public spaces, but let's say that now this happens in 50% of the cases online. Let's also say that this grows considerably to something like 75%. The issue is that public discussion becomes increasingly easy to be censored.
I mean, they couldn’t have kept it even if they wanted, since the bitmask itself would take up the entire instruction width. stp/ldp is there, though.

"is the first comment I've seen in this discussion that accurately summarizes what section 230 does"

That's correct.

"and what its removal would mean."

That's incorrect, since it promotes the fallacy of false dichotomy. It is entirely possible to get rid of Section 230 by replacing it with a different set of rules, not only by simply erasing it out.

Taking your example, that you are sure that your product has flaws that might cause people to get killed - and assuming you're not mistaken, as your example didn't say that:

There's a big difference between "You should immediately tell your manager and legal" and "You should not tell anyone in the company other than that, state the facts plainly in clear terms, or leave a paper trail"

The former is your ethical obligation to keep people alive - but the latter is mandating employees to always participate in cover-ups, which is obviously unethical.

Generally, no, it feels pretty random to me.

For small purchases I don't care that much (and .de has cheaper shipping to me), but for larger purchases I usually price-compare between .de, .co.uk, .fr, .it, .es, .com as the price difference may be significant (i.e. save me hundreds of euros), and all of those sites have had the cheapest price on occasion.
Fake Twitter bots are also a form of censorship. Censorship does not work just by imposing silence, but also by overwhelming with noise. Free speech is valuable because it leads to a contest of ideas. If it degenerates into a contest of who has the resources to scream louder the battle for free speech has been lost already.
> bullshit is easier to make than truth

Of course, but truth wins out over the long run.

> If normal well researched content had to compete with that, it would loose by being buried under the sheer mass of bot generated bullshit.

How do you stay above it all? It's not censored now but you seem able to detect it and protect yourself.

> A lot of conspiracy theorists aren't above threatening violence

That is censorship, I'm not sure how that supports an argument for more free speech? We have laws against assault already.

> and law suits (usually libel) against those exposing them or simply posting the truth

How could they win? Defamation laws, at least in the US, value truth above other considerations.

> it's one side being violent

Again, I'm not sure what this has to do with a free speech argument?

> and disrespectful to the other

I'm also not sure why this is relevant - it's not nice but so what?

> Sometimes violence comes from both sides of the debate too (ie, US politics) but that doesn't make the amount of disrespect by people purposefully lying or spreading lies any better.

Violence and disrespect really are completely different ball games, I don't see how conflating them clarifies things.

> Free speech, as I see it, means that you can express your opinion freely without repercussions unless it's advocating for violence against people or groups of people.

I agree, that's a very good starting point.

> If you're talking about facts, those should not fall under free speech under the simple premise that facts are either provable or you should say that you have no proof or you should expose them as the opinions they are.

If you could find someone who can judge such things infallibly then perhaps I would agree.

I didn’t catch it until this comment!
We continue to dumb down interfaces because of the assumption that people won’t learn and the reality that building a complex usable interface is hard and teaching is almost never done.

I remember when video games came with elaborate manuals, this discussion reminds me of that and how it stopped happening (and just now the smell of opening the box for a new game, i don’t think i’ll ever experience that again)
All I need from an OS is for it to disappear into the background. Breaking changes and moving how things happen are the opposite of helpful.
That is a serious problem. Media, traditional media in print and TV and so on, has failings. Problem with all the fake news crying from certain people, it is hard to call these failings out. And the fake news crowd has some truth to point to. And that makes propaganda so much more powerfull, the most powerful lies contain a grain of truth.
> as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion

Which we cannot do the way Youtube worked until now. The way YouTubes algorithms worked rational argument gets drowned out and public opinion cannot keep anyone in check.
Yes and much more straight forward to interface with hardware - but also requires some level of exp with said low level languages.

Arduino did a lot to reduce barrier to entry to the uC world - but even that requires you to understand a little of how C++ works once you move beyond blinky.

These (micropython, this project, Lua ) etc lower the barrier to entry even further. The trade off of course is how well they run and how much of the hardware is exposed (register manipulation etc) if you want to get to it...
> For example try telling people they would be better off with their code being packaged and delivered by a Debian package instead of a container image - see how fast they consider you a crazy preacher from the past.

Where I work we create Debian packages, then prepare an image installing it from the Dockerfile.

In our defense, our test systems are physical, our CI/CD chain is containerized, and production will move from physical to containers soon.
I loved listening to Isaac Arthur's youtube videos, and it helps a lot in falling asleep(then I discovered low dosage melatonin).

His voice is so calming and re-assuring and the background music also helps.

The O'Neill cylinders series never failed to make me sleep -- I could imagine myself living in such a neat space, floating in the middle of such a cylinder, producing large amounts of food, the world's problems far away, and boom, I'm asleep.

I think I used to fall asleep like this when I was kid imagining I was travelling in captain Nemo's submarine.

While I under what YouTube is trying to do, even if it raise issue with free speech, I feel the bigger issue is how they plan to determine if a video is in line with their policies.
Due to the sheer volume of videos YouTube needs to handle, this inevitably will end up as some sort of ML/ Natural Language Processing algorithm. Needless to say, the problem of determining whether a contents of avideo is inline with currently established scientific knowledge, is WAY beyond the ability of the current AI.
In practice it seems, that YouTube struggles with basic stuff, like flagging an anti-mask debunking video that contains a part of the video its debunking.

I fear that the in practice, this will mean that if your video contains the 'C-word' in any context, it has a good chance of being deleted, and an even better chance of being demonetized.
The constraint absolutely was not that, it was that they don't want to have an instruction that can load more than two cache lines worth of data, or that can write to more than two registers.

In my workflow all I need is a good window manager. The one on MacOS is not good even with extra apps (Rectangle). There is too much degree of freedom in moving a window pixel by pixel. I want it to automatically lay out the windows.

The other problem is a lot of things open are Chrome tabs nested within a Chrome window. I wish there were no tabs and the OS window manager would automatically surface the right tabs and windows and pick the right layout (eg. Four windows tiled or two windows side by side, etc.) With an easy keyboard search across the content of everything open

Pretty much all CISC chips in fact have cute ways of compressing instruction fetch bandwidth when transferring large amounts of data, since every CISC out there was designed in a time before caches. Without separate I/D caches the fetch bandwidth and data bandwidth would otherwise conflict. That's why you see dedicated memcpy, strlen, etc instructions on the more complete CISC designs. The RISC movement in general was very much a recognition of how ISAs could change with gate counts that allowed guaranteed caches.

As you note, it's a place were ARM shows itself to be a hybrid RISC/CISC design, required because the ARM1 didn't have caches.

Did you even watch the video? 1. He says there is no need to wear masks in public "at this time". 2. He says there is no evidence that masks protect you against infections (which is of course something that can and did change over time) 3. He mentioned that touching your face can be dangerous, not that wearing masks increases the risk. I don't think anyone disputed this then or now.

That is something else than people saying now that there is no evidence that masks help, because now we have evidence.

In my opinion, life would - in the long term - be easier for these people if they were forced to learn C, C++ or Rust for their projects. But it’s been a while since I was a beginner myself, so there might be some bias here.
Completely and thoroughly unacceptable. The standard they're citing as the reason is something they have never enforced before.

They have never once throttled or banned articles that are anti-Dem.

This was a massive screw-ups by Twitter and by Facebook and they know it.

The argument for their regulation as publishers (rather than platforms) just got twice as strong.

Absolute fools, and biased fools.
