The decision process on Brave Today sounds to be (mainly?) local.

You need the filtering processing to be local and visible but you can't win the fight by avoiding all filtering.

IMO what makes sense is manually curated sources for your knowledge area and the rest machine-picked for you to read and retain a general knowledge of the world.

It sounds like you’re aggressively agreeing with me, and the closest you get to disagreement is:

> Appointing censors is a naive and harmful approach to solving that problem, counterintuitively.

But even then I would happily accept even the part that it is “naive” to appoint censors (I am calling for something much more subtle).

These two things are close, but not perfectly so. “Free speech = free society” has been a good approximation for most of history even despite a majority believing in falsehoods.

But the difference is there.

Facebook per se isn’t the problem, I think; I would blame everyone who uses A.I. on large populations, testing and refining what is most likely to be shared without consideration as it “sounds about right” while pushing a particular narrative (in Facebook’s case the goal is “money”; others, including those who use Facebook as their means for this testing, have political rather than financial agendas). Facebook is just one of many doing that, the A.I. genie is well out of the bottle, and conversely Facebook could exist without that A.I. optimising for something we don’t really want.

However, despite that being the only point where I think you’re actively disagreeing with me, I disagree with your new point here:

> look at some of the short term effects and foolishly conclude that it's making things worse, focusing on antivaxxers and the like while ignoring the rise in global literacy and scientific progress and achievement.

These are separate dimensions of what I consider a good society. China is part of the rise in those two, yet lacks free speech. Does it lack all the things which free speech is a good proxy for? I don’t know; but it does lack free speech.
Maybe also one for blind and vision impaired people, this looks like just a sequence of videos.
To be fair, the NYT's reporting of Macron's limited and perfectly reasonable attempts to combat rampant fundamentalism might give an uninformed reader a reason to believe he was some authoritarian nutjob. But that's yet another symptom of the NYT's habit of lashing out at any perspective other than their very limited one.
I find 'mandatory' to be a bit of a blurry concept, knowing what we know now about the malleability and susceptibility to various 'mind viruses' that we humans have.

Sure, it's definitely important to acknowledge the difference, but it's also important to realize that we are not rational creatures that use our freedom well when there are all sorts of well-crafted 'hacks' applied to our brains on a constant basis.

I think Cyberpunk understandably covers these themes with underline, highlight, and big red circles. Narratively it's easier to exaggerate.

But it's really just shades of gray between being forced to take a happy pill, and being told, explicitly or not, by experts, friends and family that you should do so.
I understand the reasons why, and they're perfectly fine. But I still think it's a bad decision to rely solely on that approach, because I ultimately hate wasting hardware.

My low effort route was to run their image in a podman systemd container, but the setup magic wasn't happy with that and some services failed and I eventually gave up debugging that. Maybe I could have setup a qemu to run it in a VM, but that requires to somehow pass through i2c and spi.
> What? Why wouldn't this just be an opt in thing?

"Oh cool, I'll set a $1k cap, never gonna spend that on this little side proj." Fast forward a year, the side proj has turned in to a critical piece of the business but the person who set it up has left and no one remembered to turn of the spending cap. Busy christmas shopping period comes along, AWS shuts down the whole account because they go over the spending cap, 6hr outage during peak hours, $20k sales down the pan.

Of course it is technically the customers fault but it's a shit experience. Accidentally spending $72k is also technically the customers fault and also a shit experience. I don't think there is an easy solution to this problem.
Some US states allow civilian ownership of automatic rifles, although it's typically a lot of hassle and expense with licensing and taxes.
They (Nvidia) have not actually been given the green light to do so (buy Arm) yet.
If Firefox works on iOS, especially with the extension support... I'm in! I know many people love it but I hate Safari (no need to go into the reasons, it's about the freedom we're talking) and hate that restriction.
To provide a view from the opposite end of this spectrum, I use noise-canceling headphones over passive custom-fit earplugs on flights.
Certainly a great initiative and this is something I'd happily pay for if it were reliable for my use cases.

However, I'm presently seeing very few results from popular sites that have a lot of user content. Github, Steam Workshop etc.

Searching "ge_tts" (an admittedly very niche project of my own) yields no useful results, where as the project page is first result for both Google and Bing.

EDIT: Increasing the weight for fuzzy text match search results would also be nice. "threejs" doesn't yield a Github result for at least the first 5 pages, but "three.js" works as expected.
> M1 can accelerate the shift of home users to Macs.

I can't see the M1 making a lick of difference here. Home users aren't going to double their budgets to afford an Apple machine, especially one which can't even play most games.
Haters gonna hate. If you aspire to do anything compelling and original, you have to take risks, and you have to "commit" as they say in that riskiest of artistic endeavors, comedy. Sometimes the risks don't work out, or sometimes they don't work out for a particular audience.
One really good side effect of this move is going to be that you can run Android apps with ease on Windows. I wonder if this will make people move towards apps instead of electron apps. Since android apps are made for low power devices, they would run with minimal resource consumption on laptops. They are pretty snappy too.
My guess is they have to meet some minimum diversity quota among attendees.

Indeed. It is still very useful to an investigator who has to examine an unlocked device -- in most corporate investigations this is unlikely to be an issue. Forensic examiners working for the police are likely to have more of a hard time getting codes etc., but they have access to more advanced services[1][2].

I don't trust Brave, and especially Brave CDN. You might choose to, and it is fine.

They don't really have an amazing track record as privacy first company. They do have a proven track record of "trying to monetize users".
We were not aware of that and that was definitely a new experience for us.
My father owns a car bought a decade ago and we can easily fix and swap any parts we wish without having to worry about getting sign-off from the car "owners" :D
I don't see why that would happen, and seeing that as a common practice among other car manufacturers does not make it any less annoying.
> I would definitely not wear 500-600 USD headphones in any of those areas.

I would say that the risk of being robbed in any of the mentioned areas is very low, even during night-time (if you don't actively are looking for trouble)
Do you believe that all users should be subjected to policies that are best for your mom?

What would be wrong with a buried setting that you could flip, allowing one to install non-App Store apps?

"And have fun while their bloat ware and preinstalled crap ..."

No such crap on this Pixel device I'm using.
Yup. I think it’s absolutely shocking that people think that with free speech “this time it’s different” and it’s time to further restrict freedom of speech.

The thing that really pushed me over the edge was the poll that said “98% of people don’t believe what they read on the internet”.[1]. Unlike many people, I actually have faith that people will accept the truth, eventually. It may take time and it may be messy and ugly, but it will happen.

And I also believe that the free flow of ideas (good and bad) is a fundamental quality of the American system that is overall a net plus, not a net negative.

And I feel sad when I see people so willing to give up such a fundamental right because of what they see on Facebook. I mean it’s not like there are thousands of examples of where a lack of free speech has been used to oppress people.

Was just about to link to your tweet on this subject from the other day. You saved me the search!
Has restricted speech actually killed millions or are you conflating regimes that killed millions and also restricted speech together? Basically I doubt the restriction on speech was a significant causal factor in preventing or encouraging the murder of millions. That is to say those authoritarian regimes would have murdered millions of people even if they were also into free speech.

On the free speech and authoritarian side of things you have stuff like the genocide in Myanmar where the direct correlation does appear to be causal:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebo...

What's the amount of murders and ethnic cleansing attributable to free speech where free speech does become suspect? Hundreds, thousands... what?
> Those noisey parties happen at my neighbours house all of the time. It's the price of living in a city.

So you talk to your neighbours and you come to an understanding. Since you have a long running relation with them (you live next door to each other) you can improve living conditions for both parties by communicating. If you have different party go-ers every week next door you can't do that.

Housing area's should primarily be liveable. They are not there to provide real estate for someone to speculate with or to rent out to party go'ers. Though I guess this might be a too socialist view for you in which case we'll probably never agree with each other.
Maybe the iPhone model? But definitely not the Xbox one.
In the newest console, every part of the console is designed not to trust each other. IIRC, even the CPU instructions are encrypted.
This is in order to assure game developers that their games will not be pirated -- but I suspect it might be paying quite a large performance price. I don't think Microsoft or Apple need that much distrust of their own packages in regular computing.
I don't agree that free speech absolutism attracts totalitarians exclusively. But I do agree it will attract those that have a hard time finding a place elsewhere. Anyone who can be tolerated on twitter, which isn't a high bar, wouldn't go elsewhere unless ideologically motivated to do so (mind this doesn't necessitate horrible views, some people want to oppose censorship not because they themselves are censored). People who hold objectionable views won't change their minds when censored, and they won't change their minds because they're being told they are wrong or somehow deficient. But we have to do something to lead people to have better beliefs, there has to be a way to redeem the objectionable people of the world. If one is to choose to not help these people, in my cynical opinion the only other option is too cynical to post.
I am sick that "hate speech" is an alleged problem because some people read something on the net they didn't like. I also don't like the people that write it. But the reaction to it is just infantile and the exchange of ideas is degraded.

The nature of the medium has intrinsic properties and that means that if you broadcast opinions, you always get pushback. It doesn't mean there is or is no justification for it. It is the trivial result of connecting everyone on the planet.

Be it differences or misunderstandings, there simply is no authority that would be accepted to enact a rule that you have to adhere to certain official statements about health, elections or Santa Clause.

As bas as some terrorist deeds may be, the continuation of decreasing liberty for security we tried for some decades is counterproductive and devoid of any results. Change it or lets yourself be classified as insane already.

Not a fan of facebook, but if you don't like it, you can just not use it. Doesn't mean you have the right to dictate how others use media. And don't think you are different to other historic mistakes of curbing speech.
Perhaps it was a poor choice of words considering HackerNews nitpicking, but in france display of religious symbols (such as wearing a cross) is banned in public places (mostly). I wrote it that way for effect, thinking that people would be familiar with the french laws.

I have no "twisted broad exaggeration and misunderstanding" of belief. I don't think this chain of comments has a good tone, and won't reply further.
It matters a lot.

"it doesn't matter what grades the kid gets because there is nothing they can possibly do that's more important than being your kid, and so they'll automatically be your kid and have access to the resources of your family unit."

Just because you love your kid doesn't mean you give them everything.

In fact, being superlatively rich probably comes with a whole bunch of extra challenges in raising a kid.

No matter how many 'resources' a kid has access to, doing a 'good job' and having a little bit if self discipline are essential to having a good character, being civic, and also creating a positive future for oneself and ones community.

Having a 'Lambo' is a very exceptional thing it stands out definitely more than one's peers. A poorly behaved, entitled kid who'll use that Lambo to rub it in the faces of his peers, who accomplishes little doesn't deserve it.

Of course not everyone 'get good grades', it's entirely possible a kid is deserving in some way, by grades are at least some crude measure of applying oneself.

Frankly, however much money I had I wouldn't even give my kid a Lambo, it's way too much attention and ostentatious luxury, children are not good at handling that. It's excessive and materialist.

'Access to capital' is an entirely different story as investing for the prospect of value creation is difficult than conspicuous consumption of luxury items.

Go. I used to use java for backend development, and I feel it is a right time to learn Go. Pretty Good.
any tips for ALPHA detectors :)? Somehow, those are significantly harder to DIY than beta/gamma..
>No they don’t. My point was we don’t actually know what the minoans believed. If it’s not written down it’s doomed.

If you don't know what they believed, then how would you know whether it lived on under a different name, or not?
Definitely needs more work.

The main Go SQLite3 for accessing SQLite databases is in the top "C" list.

But SQLite itself doesn't seem to be included in any of them. o_O
What I don't really understand is why so much of the dynamic content ends up being native code on the client. For example, let's say you need to have some of legal compliance page. But there is always changes you have to make in a bunch of regions, and the flow is constantly changing, or whatever. But why can't this be a DSL you download and deserialize into views? Why does there have to be a hundred different native views for this that all must be part of the app? I'm hearing all these tail-end cases that one region hits and interacts with for seconds and I guess I don't really understand why these things are not handled server-side, making the app a dumb client. After all, isn't that how the website surely works?

I understand that Linux doesn't necessarily always have the product marketing deadlines or whatnot that Uber might have, but it's saddled with legacy code too. When things have security issues, or the API is just awful, at some point someone needs to fix it. Especially if your business is being decimated by a bug or you are lacking in APIs that meet your usecase. I don't think it's as poor as a comparison as you might thing it is.
Looking at the replies the difference was not entirely clear to me, but the book has a nice explanation https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch19-03-advanced-trait...

> "The difference is that when using generics, as in Listing 19-13, we must annotate the types in each implementation; because we can also implement Iterator<String> for Counter or any other type, we could have multiple implementations of Iterator for Counter. In other words, when a trait has a generic parameter, it can be implemented for a type multiple times, changing the concrete types of the generic type parameters each time. When we use the next method on Counter, we would have to provide type annotations to indicate which implementation of Iterator we want to use."
> M1 won't change that, or at least not rapidly.

This to me is the interesting spectator sport for M1 (I have no intention of buying Apple hardware) - what are the competition going to do in response?

Based on all the reviews and benchmarks, the new generation of Apple laptops are going to outperform anything AMD/Intel, while having twice the battery life. These are not 'small difference' only of interest to geeks, these are large user visible differences that could make everything non-Apple look inferior.

I don't see x64 suddenly getting competitive on this front any time soon, so are the 'traditional' laptop vendors (e.g. Lenovo) going to have to pivot to ARM as well? Possibly segmenting so that 'gaming' or 'workstation' are different market sectors that stay on x86. Even if they do switch there's going to be lag for development, and there's no guarantee that the software landscape will be as set up for it as on Apple.

As someone whose purchases are 'second hand thinkpad, install Linux' I'm all for it. If you pick the right distro, Linux has supported ARM well for a while.
censorship is connected to regimes who killed (and continue to kill) way more people then all the terror attacks combined.
Also, if you let out governments and look at non-government terror, those who are internet-rooted, are a tiny fraction, and a joke compared to the real terror networks.

It's been a year since the Halle attack, the attacker is a joke: a typical internet incel as you would picture him. Infantile, insecure, physically weak, clumsy with his firearms. It would be literally funny if not for the two people he killed. Sorry for them, but, should we really sacrifice basic freedoms and rights, being afraid of THIS GUY?
I'm from Poland. I've also heard it over 20 years ago.
The problem is with facebook making a post viral. Anyone can post anything online, but it won't do any good or bad if nobody reads it.
It sounds stupid, but I'm going to say that they're all doing it wrong. One commenter in this thread brought up the Uber app for Android and it's a fraction of the size–clearly, market constraints can make it possible to do better?
What utility is there?
What’s an assault rifle? A normal rifle with features that scared people but have no impact on the actual lethality?

I disagree with your disagreement!

I've had good closed headphones before, and they're... okay... but nothing like a good active noise cancelling headphones.

For example, the Sony WH-1000XM3 is already a relatively good closed headphone! If you put one on with the noise cancelling disabled, it still provides a quite decent amount of isolation. But then instant you press that little switch... near total silence.

I used to tell people that first class tickets on planes are a waste of money because: You're still on a plane, it's still noisy, you just get better food.

But now with my Sony headphones, cattle class feels like first class. It's bliss: I can sleep. I can watch movies and actually understand what people are saying. I can read a book without feeling like there's a running hair dryer behind my head the whole time. The cries of babies are completely inaudible.
The problem isn't an awkward exchange of ideas.

The problem is industrial-scale disinformation campaigns manipulating public opinion and discrediting every single thing you can imagine, grinding the free exchange of ideas to a halt at every turn.

Its a DDOS attack on that very same free exchange of ideas you mention.
You mean people believe whatever they want to believe and discard the rest?
Yeah I was thinking of the read only kind, you do need to be a bit careful when your objects are mutable ;-)
Boy do I hate that phrase. It's absolutely incorrect from a neuroscience perspective. Words can in fact hurt you, and, depending on circumstances, cause long term psychological damage. Here's a place to start to learn more if you want: https://www.td.org/insights/the-neuroscience-of-reward-and-t...
There are alternative solutions to censorship. Censorship would just be a patch, and not even enough for the problems Facebook and other social media is creating. The issue is that Facebook has completely changed the incentives for what type of speech gets the most exposure. Now the contents of the speech do not matter, nor the source, nor whether it is true or useful or anything. Instead the metric is how much "engagement" it can create. Facebook will, by design, show on your timeline a lie that creates comments before a truth that doesn't. And it will do this time and time again, and the effect of the repeated exposures to lies is that even if you don't believe them, you will start doubting.

Society can't keep up with that. It isn't just that there are people with polarized opinions, it's that you have people with completely different views of reality. Propping up lies is incredibly easy, and doing the necessary research to disprove those lies and spread the result is orders of magnitude more difficult. It's impossible to keep up the rhythm.

The solution is not censorship, the solution is to force these companies to change those incentives. Stop with the automatic suggestions to get more engagement, stop showing content to people who didn't explicitly subscribe to it, stop the uncontrolled spread of content of any type. We can live without viral memes, we can't without a functioning society.
> Already every mac available for purchase, even the Intel ones, requires online activation to wipe and reinstall the storage:

I was under the impression that activation can be circumvented by setting the secure boot mode to something less than "maximum security", at least on Intel Macs. Is that a different mechanism then?
Yes, installed size is also an issue. And on iOS tens of thousands of small files will waste a lot of space. One may say that compared to photos and videos that's small potatoes but I disagree. Efficient use of resources, memory, bandwidth, battery, etc. matters.
The anti-piracy drive is the main one, IMO. The money from services far outweighs the money from the sale of the hardware, in the long run for most types of users on most devices.

It's my understanding that disabling system integrity protection (SIP) on M1 macs immediately disables its new ability to run iOS apps from
the iOS App Store, for precisely this reason.

As for the hardware protections, already we have iPhones doing this with their cameras and screens and fingerprint readers and the like, ostensibly for security but who knows if it's just to kill the third party repair market.

I don't think I'm telling any tales out of school when I say that Apple would prefer nobody ever buy a formerly-broken, repaired, secondhand iPhone or iPad.
If the Raspberry Pi is running Windows and the games you want to play were compiled for x86_64 or ARM, yes.
The emulation will allow software that was only compiled for x86_64 to run on ARM.
