Why did you omit the second half of that sentence? They’re clearly referring to the format, not the content:

You’re misinterpreting the meaning of freedom 0. Tusky and Mastodon comply with both the letter and the spirit:

> The freedom to run the program as you wish means that you are not forbidden or stopped from making it run. This has nothing to do with what functionality the program has, whether it is technically capable of functioning in any given environment, or whether it is useful for any particular computing activity.

> For example, if the code arbitrarily rejects certain meaningful inputs—or even fails unconditionally—that may make the program less useful, perhaps even totally useless, but it does not deny users the freedom to run the program, so it does not conflict with freedom 0. If the program is free, the users can overcome the loss of usefulness, because freedoms 1 and 3 permit users and communities to make and distribute modified versions without the arbitrary nuisance code.

> Is this a term for something real

It's real. The most privileged people I know (and later cut out of my life entirely) are the first to play the victim card. We're talking the type of people who would choose to show up to work late every day and then complain that they were fired because they were [insert trait]. Or people that refused to study and then demanded they get extra support and financial aid because they came from a 'difficult' background.

Some definitely white people claim to be minorities because some percentage of people will use every card in the deck to get ahead. The tragedy is that these people sour the conversation and make people distrust those who bring up the actual issues they face.
And pure "logic" is a fallacy within itself. Mass starvation and pandemic deaths are extremely to justify the moment you believe human life is worth zero. Vaccines are the enemy because the planet will have a net positive with the death of millions of humans. Genocide solves climate change, diminishing land resources and unemployment.

And dont excuse my language because it is appropriate, how in the fuck do people still not understand the dangers to slippery slope? How incredibly stupid are you? The events leading up to the Holocaust are the modern textbook example of philosophies and laws that ramp to mass evil action. Pick any murderous tyrant in history and every time, they take inch by inch to erode a society into a wasteland. No, it's not a poor argument. You're ignorant.
You are right, but I would add another item. She forcefully inserted herself in the conversation you had with your friend, and did it in a way that changed the conversation to the worse, with the tone becoming adversarial, and the direction of the thought rather different from what the original participants of the conversation intended. When it happens to a friendly group of people (as was the case here) it is okay, the confusion can be resolved peacefully and the conversation can move whichever way the three of you choose, being friends and all. But sometimes it happens in a larger scale, and then the conversation can be destroyed. I really wish people had been more conducive to maintaining a dialogue, we need to maintain a decent level of discourse in the society (and, more particularly, in our industry).
How to Design Programs (2014)
I don't think I can say I actually understand it, but the most complex thing I have ever tried to understand is basic molecular biology. The simple processes by which the instructions to produce a protein from constituent molecules is encoded, transcribed, and reproduced, via other proteins that induce signal cascades and fit with each other to close and open channels that propagate the signal. I say "simple" but it's amazingly complex and a miracle that such a thing is possible and actually happened. Somehow, the electromagnetic properties of specific configurations of protons and electrons can create exactly the right shape of field as to make it possible for them to chain together in a way that encodes the ability to produce exact copies of the same configuration from available inputs and free energy, and that just happened, with no supervision or intent or purpose, and from that, a part of the universe now exists with thoughts and values and teleology and collectively attempts to bend the rest of the universe to its purpose.

How? Why? There is no answer and I will soon no longer exist to ask the question, and soon after that nothing will exist that can ask questions, but the fact that, for some brief period, part of the universe became self-aware, information that will eventually be lost forever, is a miracle. And I got to be a part of it. And I got to spend a few years trying and failing to grok how basic principles of physics and chemistry can make this possible.

They are separate. git-lfs needs a separate server, that will communicate with the Git client over HTTP (not SSH), and git-annex can use a variety of different backends for storing the data (which doesn't need to be related to the Git repository) such as S3, FTP, webdav, Google Drive, ... and even git-lfs.

GitLab and Gitea come with a git-lfs server, but I don't know if there is any standalone server that you could use with git-shell.
>> there is an entire population that has not necessarily experienced it to nearly the degree that warrants the level of hypersensitivity they exhibit

Does it need to though? A black person may never have been a victim of police brutality, but if they have experienced a couple of questionable stops, is hypersensitivity really "victim mentality", and not -completely understandable-?

Most racism, misogyny, etc, nowadays -isn't- overt. Almost no one is going to say "I didn't hire you because you're a woman", because they know doing so is going to get them socially ostracized at best, legally culpable at worst.

Of course kneejerk reactions are counter productive, because it's easy for people who -weren't- coming from a racist, misogynist, etc, position to get defensive. That doesn't mean they aren't understandable, warranted, and that someone on the receiving end of that claim doesn't need to seek empathy in how they respond. That's allyship; understanding that a cry against injustice, even directed at you, isn't something you need to get defensive about, but to instead see for what it is. Trying to blame them for having a victim mentality is to dismiss the basis they even made the claim in the first place, thereby making us part of the problem.

A linux fanboy would argue that your problem wasn’t linux, it was proprietary software that vendors won’t port to linux. They might also argue that your team should not choose software which is so restrictive.

For me though it boils down to two things: (1) linux does not go out of its way to provide stable ABI’s, which makes porting proprietary software to linux and maintaining it there expensive and (2) if you are serious about doing productive work the best productivity software is often proprietary. Add those together and there is a sort of gradient over time where if you work together with non-linux users there are always things pulling you over to windows or macOS.

It’s not super obvious to me. If I bought some shares in some company and they went up 10x, I don’t think I could get out of the tax by gifting them to someone else (though maybe I could get out of it if I gifted them to a charity).

Taxes can be a bit weird with investments in general. eg if you invest in a mutual fund that reinvests dividends, you only pay tax when you realise gains, whereas if you invested in an equivalent mutual fund that didn’t reinvest dividends but reinvested them yourself, you would be liable for tax on the dividends before reinvesting them which means less compounding. Obviously this all massively depends on local laws and weird specifics.
They probably have a fundraising team on staff that does all the standard fundraising "tricks" that the rest of the fundraising industry does.

Software can't read your mind, so how should it know what you need right now? It's up to the user to build a system that works for him, and the user must stick with it. Software can only supporr you there, but not replace you.

Though, you can use the system of someone else and cope with it and use this person tools. But usually this does not really work well long for most people.

In this case, authenticity cannot necessarily be expected, though (hackable vendors, supply chain, implementation errors, inevitable vulnerabilities, corruption, ...) – not to mention the ever-fluctuating assessment accuracy because of the arms race.

In my experience, within an organization that runs services/microservices, having a service template is a good way to handle having a consistent approach across services instead of each team picking their own favorite libraries to flesh out a small/micro frameworks like FastAPI or Flask.

Any internal libraries should be very very light wrappers, if they exist at all. Putting more into the service template or even using code generation allows things to slowly improve and change without being pinned to some old crappy code in a shared internal library, or managing breaking library changes across teams.
I'm gonna have to take "Chesterton's fence" sort of position there.

Sure, there's a chance that whatever arises from the ashes is going to be more efficient than whatever preceded it. There's also a chance that whatever is there right now is about as good as whatever the new thing will inevitably converge to.

Either way, blowing it all up at once seems unwise.
> These are just examples that are fresh in my mind based on recently discussions with my wife. Unfortunately, a lot of this isn't made evident by budgets.

I urge you to look at your district's budget in detail. Many of them do in fact break out administrative staff costs separately from teaching staff costs. Decades of frustration on the part of the electorate has forced them to in some cases. You might have to dig for it, but its in there. I don't doubt your wife's experience with an overbearing administration, but one person's lived experience does not count for your whole district, let alone the entire nation. You have to examine the data.

My kid's district's breakdown is on page 92 of https://www.adams12.org/sites/default/files/uploads/document...

Administrative staff is only 9% of the the labor budget.

It surprises me how many otherwise experienced system administrators consider a home router something you have to buy and get a completly unsuitable plastic throwaway gadget. It’s an internet-connected device, therefore you have to treat like any other server¹. Get a computer, stick a wifi card in it, install your favorite Linux distro, configure the networking (including DNS resolver, DHCP daemon, hostapd, firewall rules, etc.). Keep it updated in whatever way you keep all your other servers updated. Done.

Normal consumer routers are bad for the same reason that just about all IoT devices are bad. This will not change unless the incentives involved change; i.e. don’t hold your breath.

I think geography also restricts the supply of developable land. Real estate is a finite commodity, while the human population doubles every 33 years. Even if you build up and with a higher density, there is a fixed limit to habitable space on earth. With a fixed supply and increasing demand, you will see increasing prices over time.

Given that political discourse so often takes the form of "I am right and you are wrong", it's easy to foresee that tools to prevent the sharing of misinformation will in practice end up as tools to prevent the sharing of information from people the wielder of the tool disagrees with. Then, it's just another propaganda arms race between the information sharing and information dissemination technologists of both sides. I think this is not the kind of research that will ultimately lead to a more healthy public debate.

Honest answer, generally people aren’t talking about judging people for their implicit biases, but asking them to be aware of them to prevent those biases from influencing their actions in ways they don’t intend. Those actions then may be judged, naturally.

Hopefully an example that’s not too prickly: I’m from the south of the US. I don’t have a southern accent (except when drunk or sleepy!). A lot of people, myself included, have an unconscious bias that people with southern accents are less intelligent than people without. However, I’ve known lots of smart people with southern accents, and lots of unintelligent people without them. I don’t know why I have this bias: it was instilled in me by the culture I grew up in, I guess. But, because I am aware of it, I can watch out for those reflexive feelings that make it more likely for me to dismiss something someone is saying just because of their accent. I can adjust my actions to align with the kind of unbiased person I’d like to be, even though I can’t control the lingering feelings the bias creates.

This is the general idea of wanting people to be aware of their implicit biases: not to judge them due to those biases, but to help them see that, due to societal or cultural or familial influence, they may not be living up to the kind of person they’d like to be. There’s a huge difference between someone who’s consciously racist and someone who has racist priors due to the culture they grew up in. Many in the latter group accidentally propagate racist systems, even though they would never want to do so if they had a conscious choice. But it’s hard for anyone to see how their subconscious affects their day-to-day opinions. The hope of teaching about implicit bias is that people can see its effect in their lives and make adjustments, hopefully reducing the systemic problems that people face in the process.

I’ve always wondered if physics can be useful in this context. Emulators will often approximate a physical system in such a way that it looks indistinguishable, but the emulator may grossly violate a fundamental physical law.

An example of this is training neutral networks to emulate the hydrodynamic equations of motion. The emulator temperature profile may look like the real thing, but it could also grossly violate total conservation of energy.

I’m curious if we can apply such “physics tests” to deep fakes to search for violations.
When you were talking about "80%", I thought you were referring to reduction in transmission. The article you linked only talks about the reduction in numbers of cases (and mostly symtomatic cases), which is not the same thing. By "reduction in transmission", we are talking about the chances of someone catching Covid from someone already infected with it.

>Your original statement, and some of your followup statements, argued against the vaccine reducing spread at all.

Not that it matters much, but I started by saying that it does not confer sterilising immunity (something even the article you linked suggests could be true), later correcting it "it's not know if it does". I've also said, many times now, that it may have some limited effect on reducing transmission.

I'm still not sure why the obsession with transmissison, anyway.
