> The scale of the Internet's "printing power" is already millions of times bigger than that of the renaissance printing press.

True, but much of that "printing power" benefits the behemoths through their central nodes on the network.

If everyone's not locked down device were also acting as shared consensus/validation on crypto transactions with payouts (instead of ledgers at banks and ZIRP account payouts), partial distributed file storage (instead of on AWS/Azure/GCP), etc, then a lot of the benefits the behemoths have would decrease (while the benefits non- behemoths have increase). I think this will be the case in the long run as the costs go down, knowledge of implementing such capabilities go up and the incentives to move in this direction go up, but getting to such a state can happen outside of our lifetimes.
> "Freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences."

It's kind of surprising to see that even the direct example of Ms. Gebru having just experienced "consequences" hasn't jolted people into realizing that that tired old phrase is problematic precisely because it cuts both ways.
30,000 hours of video per hour.

That's not that much. We can do a lot with speech to text as a starting point. And you can easily detect if speech to text isn't working very well.

I grew up fishing for salmon and live near streams where this issue is happening. Some bright and young researchers worked very hard to identify this root cause. Yes, I felt annoyed by the snark and dismissiveness in your comment. It rings of cynicism and tears down their hard work as a corporate PR scheme.

If you cared to read a little bit about the study, you could find the funding sources. If you want to connect the dots to this mystical tire manufacturer waiting to take over the market please share your sources.

I've used Slackware, Void Linux, Debian, Arch. Slackware and Void Linux I found really nice technically. However, I'm currently using latest Ubuntu simply because of the popularity, which translates to large ecosystem and minimum setup required for basic things.

I'm not a fan of how Ubuntu does things, but I'm at a point in my life where I want something that's fire-and-forget. Certainly wasn't the case before, might not be the case in the future. You'll be making some kind of compromises when choosing your computing environment. Be upfront with what you can compromise and what you can't and choosing will be easier.

When you are contracted to build something to spec and you don’t build to spec, you don’t make any money. If you push back on the requested spec, the client will leave and go to another company thus leaving you without any money.

> as top ethics talent will certainly avoid working for Google, and prefer academic freedom elsewhere

I wouldn't be that sure. I know the "headline narrative" is invested in painting Google as evil (and they don't tend to be that wrong in many instances), but the actual sentiment among the general talent pool is very divided in this instance. There is a sizeable percentage who are relieved to see activist pressure being resisted in a corporation and would be inclined to make a pick on that basis. We all know corporate pressure is not the only threat to academic/intellectual freedom.
> Why would you write your own basic data structures when the standard library provides them for you?

I think the problem with this view is that Rust is not being used as a true programming language (like for implementing algorithms), but more as a "glue language".

If all the interesting stuff has to be done in libraries in "unsafe" mode, and all the uninteresting stuff (gluing) is done with borrow checking, then Rust is more a glue language. Which is fine. But don't call it a general purpose programming language.
This is it, for me. I don’t want React, but I want (a subset of) its API. I’m building a site with Next.js which in theory should be 99+% static and it should be able to ship with a very small JS footprint. But by default all that static junk gets bundled up anyway. And stripping it out would require a lot of manual work, or building yet another layer of build tooling that would be wonderful to have but is pretty daunting to think about.
> This article took a very large amount of my time to read in proportion

I read it, and I felt that I would have learned more, been more entertained, and had more insight into creators' direction and meaning, if I had instead used that time flicking through TikToks.

The author's "you do not cultivate a capacity to think, imagine, and create" - seems very wrong and itself unimaginative.
I agree, this is very frustrating. My “workaround” is to search for ` -f`, that is, two spaces in front of the flag.

Yes, Datalog is normally understood to be a syntactic subset of Prolog:

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

Therefore, you can use every ISO conforming Prolog system to read and reason about any Datalog database. If your Prolog system supports for example SLG resolution, you will also retain the termination and completeness properties of Datalog when you interpret queries over the database.

Datomic is definitely not Datalog syntax, otherwise it could – and likely would – have been called Datalog.
Well, yeah. RMS equaled the output of a team of ~12 other programmers. But those kind of folks don't need status, they are their own status. E.g. I doubt Fabrice Bellard does what he does from any concern for status. It's just what he do.

- - - -

No single entity can afford to pay elite programmers like RMS and Bellard anything like what their work is actually worth. No one even tries. The rational thing to do (IMO) is give your work away freely and then ride the general prosperity that results.

For (another) example, who could pay Chet Ramsey anything comparable to what his work is actually worth? No one. Most of us reading this here use the software he maintains, every day, without thinking about him (or in many cases even knowing his name.) Rather than e.g. charging a micro-cent for each tab completion or something (which we could set up if we wanted to) he donates his work and, as compensation, gets to partake in the global "rising tide" that "lifts all boats". It's indirect but efficient. He can't be said to be working for status if hardly anyone knows his name, though, eh?

Yep, like in C++ it's trivially easy to use the platforms C apis. And indeed the debugger does work on all platform.
Frankly, I feel like man pages are largely useless and I've given up on them entirely. Instead, I use something like tldr to tell me what I need to do for common use cases, because when I'm trying to solve a certain task, I don't want to learn about 100 different flags for every single shell tool involved. If tldr fails, it's Stack Overflow.

On the business value front, I’d also bet that they see value from the data visibility front since that gives them a chance to identify malware and phishing domains early and the terms of service appear to allow aggregate activity data mining. It’s not as precise as Google Analytics, of course, but it works on many things which don’t have JS beacons and I’d be surprised if they couldn’t find a good deal of useful information from that stream.
> Java's used in HFT, so it definitely can compete.

This is a bad argument and if you're using Java, you're not competing in the very speed-critical parts of HFT. Nor is Java common among HFT shops at all.

In the US, the rate of passport holding is pretty low.. life can return to “normal” here without a lot of international travel. Those who travel internationally may be a different subset when it comes to “back to normal”.

Edit: “According to Census and State Department data, 21.4 million passports were issued in 2016, which is the most ever. That means 42 percent of Americans hold a passport, a growth of 15 percent since 2007. In 1990, only four percent of Americans had one.”

Getting hit with a bullet isn't the only risk of living in an area with community violence. We're not robots who can coolly base our response to danger on a statistical risk assessment. Living with community violence has serious psychological consequences which result in significant, measurable problems for those who endure it... particularly children.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2700237/

Unsurprisingly, the communities who most frequently endure violence are not a representative sample of the US population— they are drastically more likely to be poor and not white. Black communities are particularly subject to this violence, and considering that discrimination against them was not only legal, but legally mandated until around a decade before the first millennials were born, the dominant culture within the US has a moral obligation to address this violence because it's responsible for its creation.

I think it's fair to call it a complex problem, if referring to the task itself, of creating performant software (which I assume is what he did). I agree with otabdeveloper in general. I'm learning C++, and over the past year there has been many occasions where I've found myself dumbfounded by patterns in the language. But, in 99% of the cases, the outcome is that the patterns are there for a reason. And the reason is performance.
Issues is lies are more sedatius than truth, so radicalization can win out over rationalization short of "controlled" efforts to the contrary.
Cost is the price for something of value. The two don't have to be correlated. I suppose where money is not involved, you might say the the costs are the repercussions.

By traditional usage of the word dumping, donating use items doesn't qualify. It's not being done to gain a non-competetive economic advantage. It's a semantic issue though: decide you want to construe the word a bit more abstractly and you can make it fit.

Lexical and semantic issue aside, freeing up local resources (people's time) to focus on education and learning higher level skills seems a reasonable plan. Not unlike what a family does when freeing up the time of it's youngest members to focus on learning. Of course in the context of foreign aid to a country, it presumes you don't just air drop in supplies for basic needs and leave it at that. If you're really interested in bootstrapping a population to a higher quality of life, you have to still ensure that learning etc. are available along with the capital infrastructure to create businesses and industries that utilize that learning. I'm not sure the developed world, when lending a hand to less developed countries, always gets that second part right.
It helps with working with a team
of people with varying mental models.

If React didn’t exist, every team member would have their own way of writing up, I don’t know, a multi-select drop down component. With React, you can nip a little bit of creativity out of each individual team member for sanity’s sake. You would be shocked just how different people’s mental models actually are without a framework.

I already go nuts at how some people structure some components, and to keep this post at peak hyperbole, I’d give up on life if I had to see their vanilla js components.

It would be unmanageable emotionally. I’ve seen some people write components that are straight up php-like includes (e.g import ‘./FilterCategories’. Doesn’t take any args. Just for sanity’s sake, the fact that React is helping teams write composable/reusable modules (or that a module is a function that takes params, so don’t be a dick and make a shrink wrapped component with vars baked in), with brain-dead ways of wiring up component logic is probably one of the most stress-reducing advents in frontend.

Lots of finger pointing by me here, but I’m doing it to vent to strangers, instead of taking it out at work.

> quantum mechanics is kind of debatable

No, it isn't. Quantum randomness is of a fundamentally different character than chaos. Bell's theorem (and concommitant experiments) shows that it is not possible for the results of quantum experiments to depend on information that exists in our universe before the experiment was actually conducted. So if the results of quantum experiments are deterministic, the information that determines their outcomes can only exist outside of our universe.

I agree that there is an intuitive concept of "explainability", which is why I said that a formal model for it would be interesting to see. I also agree that "the average explainability of a deep net is lower than the average explainability of a linear model" (whatever that sentence means), my point is that it's extremely hard to pinpoint what explainability means, because the usual characterization of "you can fit the model in your head" is extremely subjective and brittle.

I'm all for more research in this field. Heck, I'm all for more research in any field, but because our definition of "explainability" is so primitive and unrefined, arguing that we should build ethical or regulatory frameworks on top of it seems premature.
How about hosting your own Gitea instance? It works quite well.
