> For example, we aren't using millions of mammals to sit and label machine learning models all day. It is not because they can't create those labels, mammals are really good at a lot of tasks, it is because we can't make mammals sit and repeatedly do a task all day even when rewarded. They just lack the reasoning capacity to override their intuition to do it.

We can. There are chimpanzees in neuroscience laboratories that perform repetitive tasks all day, every day, while they have electrodes hooked in their brain. It's actually disturbing that we submit them to this.

Here is an example: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep34685

> Procedure

> The experiment consisted of training and test sessions. We used ten versions of the pictures described above. Five pairs (1 and 32, 2 and 27, 3 and 23, 5 and 19, 8 and 15 hours) were used in the training sessions. When the chimpanzees touched the start key at the centre of the touchscreen monitor, images from one of the pairs were displayed side by side. The chimpanzees’ task was to touch the image of the fresher cabbage out of the two alternatives. Once the chimpanzees had chosen one of the two images, the stimuli disappeared. A food reward and chime were given for the correct response. A buzzer sounded when the chimpanzee made an error. Following a trial where the chimpanzee made an error, a correction trial, where only the correct image was presented, took place. The correction trials were included in the methodology to keep the chimpanzees motivated.

We could absolutely use chimpanzees to perform labeling of data for ML. But we shouldn't.

I have had my personal stint with trying to "expose" an Indian startup (I am an Indian), also coding related which gained some traction on LinkedIn (around 500+ reactions, if they mean anything).

This guy is in serious danger, trust me. I had to delete my linkedin post when my ex-manager called me to delete it otherwise the startup's employees will go crazy and try every which way to make my life hell.

Unfortunately, thats what you get in living in this country and trying to voice your opinion (without any strong political and financial credentials).

I have mentioned this earlier, people keep complaining of "brain drain" here in India as tech graduates keep leaving India for opportunities abroad; I thought I won't be that one and will do something for the country; it's just too difficult, I have add enough, I can't wait to leave.

"Facebook changes based on past scandal for the better, and this is bad. here is my 9th grade essay with no research just feeling"

Facebook _should_ be held to account.

I personally don't think that the advertising is actually that much of a problem. It all has paper trails because they have to pay. Advertising is not the worst part of facebook is its users.

for that to change facebook needs to understand that "freedom of expression" disappears when you sign the terms and agreements, which specifically limit your freedom of expression. If they actually enforced their community standards properly, the place would be much better.

Instead they carve out exceptions for celebs, based on precedence that not even employees can find.

Pathetic. All this dude did was show users their fake ads and fake reviews. He's also showcased reviews where the instructors don't seem to know much about how the internet works.

Now the legal system is being used to maliciously prosecute him. There is little hope for this man in India given the level of corruption and rot in the system. If there are well connected folks in the west who want to spend their time on actual injustice as opposed to casting in Hollywood movies and other first world problems, I'd invite them to speak up for this man and contact the investors / folks at Disney and other Byju's investors.

Also if you know folks at Reddit or YouTube congratulate them on having such a trash tier DMCA review process where a decent man with the intention of protecting a gullible population of poor folks can't stand up to a scam corporation backed by a mammoth like Disney, on your platform.

I think the fix (from a legal perspective) is very simple.

Ban me from your services if you want, but banned accounts should be able to download their information, for a reasonable timeframe.

In the case you were using Google products as a business (YouTube, Google apps), allow the banned user to show a text communicating to their users the service they moved to or where they can be contacted.

It's a bare minimum, but it would get us real far.

It introduces some concepts that are absent from BASIC. If you think about it, BASIC, with its limited conditional branching, no concept of functions - it was set variables, then use GOSUB, with all variables being globally visible, is very close to the machine language of the host computer with some added types. If you wanted to do recursion, you'd need to invent a stack.

Another thing is it's Node, and can be used as a plug-in to your express app. This can make it easier to customize and extend over time. Eg; have parts of your schema be postgraphile and parts be custom JS.

Also, some mammals are quite notorious for their sex drive. Going as far as attempting sex with lamps and such.
I agree, I've found these are often a good strategies.

As a subtext I think your general perspective is as an experienced developer and not all developers have the experience to write runtime efficient code or components with clean modularized interfaces, so it won't work for everyone.
As it supports self-hosted Gitlab I'd guess that using that is even more privacy friendly than to send it to some pastebin website and trust that operation.

Now maybe I missed all the hypertext in postgrest, but given all of its documentation obviously fails the criteria of

I don't see how it could be in any way REST.

That is feedback on an issue of HTTP implementation and compliance, it has nothing to do with REST.

Now look I really don't mind APIs being good HTTP citizens and having nothing to do with hypermedia, and that REST is an interesting idea doesn't mean it's a good idea (at least for programmatic APIs).

But it's like people saw a picture of a baby in a bath, went "well I don't need the pink thing in the middle but I'd sure like to wash up a bit", and when others point out they're carrying around a jug of soapy water which they insist is a baby called Fred those others get called "Baby purists"[-1].

Assuming you're living in the EU.

The cookie:

So on the one hand there's the GDPR which deals with personal data (PII). As what they're storing there does not seem to be PII and is not used for tracking you, it does not care.

On the other hand there's the EU cookie directive. It is responsible for all the "this website uses cookies" banners from before the GDOR Consent popups. I'm not sure if it forbids storing any cookies wihtout consent but that's a direction you might want to look at in more detail. https://www.privacypolicies.com/blog/eu-cookie-law/

Can't say much about the consent form itself as I think the google consent form is especially weird as it's not possible to deny them tracking and still use their site. I suspect there will be fines for that some time down the road, but there a probably a lot of smarter people than me looking at this so what do I know...

This feat about getting locked on Google Accouints will cost google customers. Last week I wanted to try a Google Cloud API, but I stopped when I had to fill a form with more billing information . At that moment I though soemthing like "what if something weird happens with my test script and Google flags my account? " then I was thinking "maybe I make a new test account" but then next though "making a new account could also be a flag and could cost me my main account" so I just gave up.
They’re both exploited by their landlords. Neither should pay anywhere near that much merely to have a home.
With email you absolutely want an address with a domain that you own. You can use it with pretty much any email hosting provider, and in case you get banned, you can point your DNS to another provider and continue with your day.

If Google banned my account, my phone would probably be useless, but other than that I wouldn't have any negative consequences. If Facebook banned my account, I wouldn't care at all (I spend less than 5 min per month on there). If Amazon banned my account, same thing (stripped DRM from all ebooks I've purchased there). Microsoft, same (losing my GitHub account would be a bummer, but wouldn't impact my work which is on GitLab). And as far as Apple goes, the only product of theirs I've ever owned was a USB Type C cable.

Of course, getting to that point wasn't easy and required years of conscious effort to make my data independent: https://input.sh/healthy-relationship-with-google/

I see what you did there xD

Essentially, instead of hijacking the Browser's history with some Javascript router api, you simple use the inbuilt url fragment to "load" a new page by using CSS to hide/show content based on that #fragment.

What I like about it is that the urls are "honest" -- you're not navigating to a new page (there isn't one, just like there isn't one when you do the same w/ a Jamstack App) -- and the urls show this.
Looks cool. How you solve the small space issue in old models?
I cannot imagine this as a best practice, given that you will have to synchronize two identity and access management systems - the one on the frontend and the one in Postgres. Compared to ACL or filtering of results in the service tier via something like Spring Security, it’s too much overhead for such task.

Hasn't the 20th century explosion of books, music, movies, etc, coincided with copyright law?
Exactly. It doesn't matter where a dollar comes from when it has to be spent anyway.

Think about it.

Scenario a) X dollars from fuel tax are revenue for federal budget. Federal budget decides whatever it wants to do with the money, but roads require Y dollars for maintenance.

Scenario b) X dollars are earmarked for road maintenance. Federal budget can't do anything else with the money but spent them on road maintenance. Roads require Y dollars for maintenance. X is covered from earmarked revenue, and the difference comes from federal budget.

Did ANYTHING change between scenarios? In both cases taxpayers paid X dollars of fuel tax and Y dollars for road maintenance.

Earmarking tax revenue for a cause that requires greater amount of money and would be covered anyway is just PR mechanism to placate people / opposing party. Opposing party might know it is just illusion but still needs to placate their own constituents.

The goal of this is to create another tax revenue stream without angering your voters. And so we complicate what is relatively simple so that general population thinks the tax is for their benefit. It still is but for a different reasons.

It’s important to point out that Facebook has an Ads library that allows you to research currently running ads for a given Facebook page and for politics, social issue, or election ads there is an API.

The superior but accidental rational capability of homo sapiens isn't the only significant distinction from other mammals.

(This rational capability needs much practice -- both in the group and the individual -- to become something approaching reliable.)

Although being a mammal favours the development of some co-operative behaviours (which vary according to environmental pressures), the other very unique characteristic is the theory of mind, i.e. the tendency to ascribe agency and even psychology to events and other beings.

Sophisticated co-operation, language, and patterns of social cohesion begin in this perception/assumption of agency. Sophisticated reasoning then follows as the perception/assumption of agency proves a correct guess and humans begin to think together. (Dennett's hypothesis about debugging thought.)

An unfortunate result of the theory of mind is the chaos of human delusions.

Because the US is a Capitalist state. It serves first and foremost the interests of large corporations and capital holders operating in the US. As (some of) those have become less interested in nationalism and are multi-national - including a few that are not US-based to begin with - the incentive for maintaining "national edge"s wanes.
