(Late coming back to this, but) I totally agree with you.

My original comment was addressing the sensationalism applied to an idea... because it was associated with Amazon and/or AI and/or cameras, etc. I wasn't for a moment intending to support Amazon's overall approach to its employees.

That said, it doesn't have to either/or: I still think that such algorithms (if they work sufficiently well) make sense to be used in any vehicle (commercial or private, Amazon or otherwise) piloted by a human, given obvious human weaknesses & variability, and the damage that badly-driven vehicles can do.

Broken links are in heart of Microsoft. Open Event Browser on Windows 10, choose System and click in random message. Click link which lead to support.microsoft.com with detailed message explanation. Should lead. Except it doesn't.

Never heard Windows 10 has reached EoL. Neither Event Viewer. Neither "System" component from Windows 10.
Just to give you one example, there is a months worth of raw material for FFP2 masks on there somewhere.

The joys of using "clever" web tech/software. I think it's a "notebook" in the sense that you can put code into it and have the browser execute it.

Go tell that to all the minorities around the world who have state granted "freedom of speech" but are suppressed/controlled by mobs in other countries.

It's counter to freedom of speech and it isn't acceptable.

I couldn't disagree more. To replace RMS is one thing but to replace him because of woke cancel culture is another. I'd vote for knowledge and skills, not speaking skills and a history of never having said something the woke crowed gets pissy over.

I must admit that sometimes I think the artists, especially the contemporary ones, are making things that are not really interesting in the artistic sense. I do appreciate the aesthetics of the piece that is provided here though. But besides that, the "conveyed idea" doesn't seem very smart to me. I understand artistic freedom though, but as such it can be criticized (which I do).

AFAIC, moreover, the virtual-real distinction has been already, in some sense, covered. See for example the hyperrealism movement, or more closely a movie such as Existenz.

Your 1) is not related to reverse engineering at all. Just low-level programming.

What EXACTLY needs to be reverse engineered to "make old school games" or "fully functional operating system"?

It's an ARM and the GPU has some API.
Well, it is conversation.

I'm doing entrepreneurship and I run business so I'm capable of articulating some vision for some part of the world. But I'm NOT in a position to articulate a vision for humanity, and what I see/hear concerns me, and I'm really hoping someone has one.

Also, even if I/You have a vision, I don't think I'm (I speak for myself) in a position to make some major social or economical changes, which seem to me, necessary to avoid the societal catastrophe that might happen when things like this robot gets widely adopted.

Plastics eventually break up into micro-plastics that enter the food chain or leach other chemicals and they stick around without chemically changing much. Metals don’t do that, they’ll either oxidize and eventually become nutrients for something, or stay as a hunk of metal.

I'm not sure how serious I should take this site. Most things they bring forth are valid for the majority of discussions when they enter the heat phase. Some other aspects naturally grow with more experience in throwaway discussions. But I don't wanna think that because of this everyone online is a Narcissist.

And what the heck is with those mixed overly specific topics on this site? Is this someones private homepage?
It's really not a cool way to think about this.

People all around the world have state sanctioned freedom of speech but are oppressed by the majority in their country.

This infantile view of freedom of speech is simply a way to pretend you care about freedom of speech while sanctioning other ways to silence/punish people. Even when that punishment is completely disproportionate too.

"I'm not saying people in the Balkans are less sexist (OMG no :D) but they seem a lot more chill in dealing with this issues."

Exactly, probably more sexism, but the discourse around it and life in general is not venomous. My theory is that when you have real (economical) problems you tend to focus first on what matters.
yes 'pure waste'

Now 1. a bad billboard doesn't make bad btc better. Neither does everything else you mentioned.

2. there is a margin of difference on how much enjoyment and entertainment something like porn makes vs. btc does.

If we would need to cut down on a lot of things to reduce co2, i would argue that btc would be much much further up the list then porn.

Thankfully this does not apply exactly to issues relate to gender. Genders should be uniformly distributed across socio-economic classes.
I'm the opposite. I had mixed feelings about developer tools, but they got much better once I started to embrace them instead of trying to customize them each step of the way. After you adopt such way, it's hard to come back.

I am used to completely not worrying about formatting. Sometimes if I want some fast code I type it in a single line with semicolons, press Ctrl+S and VSCode automatically formats the entire file according to the "official" language formatting guide.

Same with autocompletion. I program in OOP languages, so I really like long names such as AbstractMachineDevicePool. I really like that I can write AMDP, press ctrl+space, enter and it puts AbstractMachineDevicePool into my code.
FYI I also mis-read your comment. I had to double back to see you mentioned paying 1% of revenue for OSS.

“Assume good faith”; Hanlon's razor applies.
If printing and distribution were the only issue, we'd be awash in local news online whether ad-supported or behind paywalls. The town where I live has effectively zero local news available online unless there's something significant enough to (rarely) hit a local news aggregator in the state. Having a dedicated eink reader isn't going to change that.
Given the hash, it may be possible to guess the contents of the file. A safer way:

key=$(cat /dev/urandom | base64 | head -c 32)
printf $key | b3sum --keyed secret.txt
echo $key
FWIW this is broadly my own opinion too. I’m trying to go beyond this debate, it’s all been said by now.

Sometimes we don’t have pretty choices, and doing something we are fully entitled to do has adverse consequences regardless. I’m wondering if RMS, while being in his right, ended up avoidably sabotaging his own cause.
I consider it inappropriate because whenever I've seen it happen the female on the receiving end of the older man's attention is at best extremely uncomfortable about it. I've seen it happen first hand in an organisation I was a member of on multiple occasions. Men were asked to leave over it. Left unaddressed it becomes a barrier to female involvement.

Does that mean relationships with significant age gaps are wrong? No. And I didn't say that.

But do I think it's a bit off when a much older guy meets a girl young enough to be his daughter and the first thing he does is hit on her. I make no apology for that, because I'd bet nine times out of ten the girl's going to be really uncomfortable about it.
Thanks for the reply, it will take a bit of time to digest that!

For what it’s worth, I’ve always been of the opinion that it’s unhealthy to base your social life around work colleagues (for many reasons), so while I strive to get on well with and be friendly with people I work with, I’ve never seen work as a place to find my primary friends groups or people to date or whatever. It’s just too messy, not just for the two people involved but for everyone around them too. I think that attitude has helped me in my interactions with women in places I’ve worked because it meant that I already don’t see them as a potential partner but rather as a professional colleague just like the men there. I try to just treat people how I want to be treated, regardless of gender or race or anything else, and from other conversations with women, I’ve been told that the best way to “help” is to do just that and to watch out for when they are being ignored and to help amplify their voices in those cases (eg if men are not giving women a chance to say their bit in a meeting, to say something like hey I’d really like to hear what she has to say, can you please stop interrupting, or whatever). That all seemed super reasonable to me and I’ve taken it on board (but haven’t been in a situation to put it into practice since, due to covid).

But these two more recent interactions did give me pause and made me question whether I would get into trouble for doing what I believe is the right thing... which brings us here.

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to reply, I find these insights enlightening, even if they’re your 1am thoughts :)

PS I find networking pretty hard myself. I guess for very different reasons though...
I cleaned data and made the models for MD and PhD researchers. Their work lies more in the thought sphere, they analyze all the work I do, then mold and shape it week to week until it's publishable. They obviously make the basic ideas behind what I should pull and what kind of models to use, and get the grants and funding for my salary so, they are pivotal even if they're not doing the hands on data work.
Yup — that basically requires extremely high levels of compassion and unconditional love, something we can all aspire to, but in reality and in general forgiveness tends to be conditional.
Great points. I also want to add that it's extremely important to try not to disturb power users when your target audience is developers. They (us) use muscle memory to do things, they know exactly where things are and how to achieve things... move something a few pixels or bury it into a sub-menu, and you break someone's workflow, which is really annoying and requires days or weeks or re-learning.

Major UI overhauls in developer tools like IDEs would be disastrous IMO. Jetbrains does it very well IMO: small changes on every version, mostly cosmetic so the tool keeps looking modern, but very rarely anything that breaks power user workflows. But that still happens...

I remember two recently: they changed the search UI so that Cmd+O on Mac would no longer find files (you need Cmd+Shift+O to include files now), only type names. Because sometimes we copy the file name from a log or stack trace, that was annoying as hell to remember to press Shift to achieve the previous behaviour (the justification was that the search dialog became much richer and categorized now, which is fair enough).

Another one: they started pushing a new "non-modal" commit dialog... similar to how VSCode does it... I hate that, I just want my modal dialog as that makes it easier for me to separate what's actual source file and what's just a "view" of the diffs! But luckily, as is often the case, they have an option to use the previous mode which I love so much, so that was just a minor inconvenience while upgrading.
Yes, I think that was the original intention. I changed the option to - Nautae in "Nautae fābulam dominīs nārrat quia dominae fābulās amant." - for the time being, so at least it isnt't flat out wrong while I think of something better.
I didn't see the Gnews / Dr Yan theory mentioned:

COVID19 is part of a long-running CCP bioweapon unrestricted warfare program with benefits such as damaging open Western societies and providing pretexts for anti-dissident crackdown and social control. Other viruses originating in China have likely also been this kind of bioweapon.

COVID19 was a deliberate release intended to infect the US competitors in the Wuhan military games to frame the USA for a biowarfare attack on China. The US contestants were infected in China and then the infection was suppressed via HCQ as part of a "malaria treatment". The intent being they would return to the USA and then spread the virus.

However, execution was poor, and as a result Wuhan was hit first, and the CCP was unable to credibly blame the USA.

The timing was intended to collaborate with Democrats to prevent the reelection of Trump, to crack down on the HK dissident movement, to deal with economic pressure from Trump's negotiations, etc.

Ideally, China would have been seen as an international savior, with a ready vaccine and a model response. CCP leadership were protected via HCQ and suffered minimal casualties.
There are various implicit contracts involved.

Using your software is lending you reputation, power, and influence. In high profile projects, this mindshare is more valuable. If your software would be unreliable, the trust and reputation would be misplaced.

For example, if an update script in a major "stable" distribution would clobber user data, the tone in these comments might be justified. But mostly, this is bad form.
Wow, that's pretty great, I'm going to try that out.
We have in France ID Cards that are not compulsory. It is just such a hassle to use something else that everyone has one.

Alternatively, for minor things, you can make a declaration on your honor. This is super useful in, say, a library where you need to enroll.

Because the next paragraph goes:

Rest assured that Deno will remain MIT licensed. For Deno to grow and be maximally useful, it must remain permissively free. We don’t believe the “open core” business model is right for a programming platform like Deno. We do not want to find ourselves in the unfortunate position where we have to decide if certain features are for paid customers only. If you watch our conference talks, you will find we've been hinting at commercial applications of this infrastructure for years. We are bullish about the technology stack we've built and intend to pursue those commercial applications ourselves. Our business will build on the open source project, not attempt to monetize it directly.

The idea that GPL is ideological and other licenses aren't is false.

Allowing companies to proprietarize software and not caring about user's freedom is just a different set of values.
Because after you clone, you can never diverge. Unless you can match the development resources of the megacorp, you will fall behind.

It's a catch 22 to focus software development on duplicating a UI that will comfort people who will never use your software over the software you're duplicating - or if they do, they do it because you're the one they don't have to pay for.

This is some of the reason, but I've noticed the same behavior in data scientists who are "vertically integrated" and who are only measured on the quality of the final model.

In this case, their incentives are aligned with good data work, but they still suck at it and neglect it.

I believe there's a few psychological reasons:

- People aren't trained to do it in college, so it's undervalued.

- It requires domain knowledge, which is hard.

- The work is quite gruelling and annoying. It's very detail oriented.

- You don't feel like you're making progress while you're doing data work. Modelling work feels closer to the final output.

- Self-delusion during modelling is easy since you can overfit on the holdout data which gives you those dopamine hits.

- Modelling satisfies curiosity. During data work, the data scientist can't wait to hurry up to the modelling stage and see what the results look like.

- Many people are just bad with data work, they don't have the attention to detail required and produce data with glaring errors.
Some things to note here.

1. It's quiet. This is a roboticists way of saying, "Hey, I'm efficient and well made!"

2. There are no 2x/3x/5x disclaimers on the video. This means that these movements are real time. Standard for BD but still a flex in the robotics world.

3. Pinch points, pinch points everywhere. This thing is not inherently safe to be around. If you don't trust the perception and safety software don't get near this thing. Also it could probably smash you.

4. They illustrate the tug capabilities (pulling the extensible conveyor) but omit the bit where a human has to connect the robot to the conveyor.

5. The first bit shows an end-effector with dozens of suction cups picking up fairly heavy loads. That's a lot of vacuum to generate. I'd really like to know the runtime of this thing before it has to recharge.
You can attack them even if you have no idea what they are doing. Just look at the plots in the report and mumble something about "missing confidence intervals", "unrealistic workload", and "it's not even heavy tailed".
They don't have to pay taxes this year because they didn't make money in previous years? How are previous years relevant to this year? I know what they're doing is legal, but it sure is silly. Their net loss over the last few years wasn't because they couldn't have been profitable. It was part of their business strategy.

I think it is often important for a standards group to be descriptive rather than merely prescriptive.

Prescriptivism nearly killed the W3C as they were sat around writing specs for xquery or whatever and meanwhile browsers we’re trying to add features while having backwards compatibility with themselves and trying to have compatibility with other browsers. Instead, the W3C should have been trying to codify the sort-of standards of eg quirks mode to persuade browsers to be more compatible with each other.
