Don't know about others, but my web pages aren't just rich text documents. Sometimes they require programmatical definition of rendering dynamic data sets.

As for the general case, every website is different enough that no general-purpose GUI/WYSIWYG exists that could cater to every need, I guess.
This is great except for one thing. I like types generates during static time, not runtime. Anyway we could verify types at that time?
The problem is the somewhat uniquely strong correlation between "Jews" and "Israel". You can usually bet money that somebody saying "X race/religion is hungry for violence" isn't saying much that's useful, and is mostly expressing hatred. But replace "X" with a country or government, and there's a higher chance they're making a legitimate point (disregarding how provocative the words they've chosen are, and how appropriate that choice is). In either case, one should of course try to get more context, but the unity of race + religion + nation + historical persecution into a single word, "Jew", makes it extremely difficult to filter the noise out on this topic.

It doesn't help that the choice of headline wording I've seen on every single instance of this report is, while not absolutely a lie, certainly misleading and clickbaity, and should be changed.
That's great, a good improvement from the beginning of the year when we thought London was about to be overwhelmed

It was really surreal. They called me on my personal cellphone and accused me of not giving Carleton quote "a fair shake" with my criticism. I was venting on the subreddit, like many others. The teaching staff was not prepared for a sudden shift to online learning more than half way through the term. This was in late March 2020.

Decriminalisation means you can’t be charged under criminal statute. You can still be fined.

Legalisation means reversing all the laws that were passed restricting its use, criminal and civil. If you don’t like the term “legalisation”, you could go for “unrestricting”, though that seems like a pedantic waste of political capital.

Well the tacit support for right wing extremists is kind of bullshit, but I'll give you the rest. This is usually the kind of response I get. "But the Republicans..." and they're right. But I'll take all of that shit over the party that doesn't respect my first or 2nd amendment rights, openly advocates for racial discrimination, and is now asking for an increase in federal police powers over the Jan 6 riot. The Democrats have a real problem handling disagreement and open debate. The right, for all it's problems seems fine with it.

Slavery wasn't 'long ago': A writer exposes a disconnect in how we tell history
Sorry to reply so late to this.

Your points are entirely valid, but in this instance OpenAI - to the best of my knowledge - hasn't actually stated what any of the potential negative consequences are. I realize it's possible that they truly have uncovered some magic mystery, but why would they be the only ones to realize it when others are working on similar problems? And more importantly, why can't anyone articulate what these dangers are? I have heard a few scare-mongering arguments which sound like they were written for clickbait, but nothing substantial.

I realize you used to work/collaborate there so I'm sure you were exposed to these ideas and I respect your view, but my frustration is you still aren't stating what the bad consequences are. Is it really so nefarious that even mentioning it triggers some sort of scourge upon humanity? I just don't buy it, especially considering the managerial history (looking from the outside in) of OpenAI.
I know it's not exactly the be-all-end-all solution to the problem, but it does feel like good quality used marketplaces for fashion (like Depop) could help to counter that flow of 'throwaway products'. In addition, in the long run having a more liquid market for potential resale might encourage people to buy better, longer lasting clothes at the offset (but that might be a pipe dream on my part).
Why not?

“If you truly claim to represent the people of the future, Frank asks — people who have the exact same right to a livable planet that we do — doesn’t that mean you should be willing to kill in their defense? Not as a first choice, not as the only choice — but can you really take it off the table? ‘If your organization represents the people who will be born after us, well, that’s a heavy burden! It’s a real responsibility! You have to think like them! You have to do what they would do if they were here,’ Frank argues. ‘I don’t think they would countenance murder,’ retorts Mary, to which Frank replies, ‘Of course they would!’

The Ministry for the Future is thus a novel about bureaucracy, but it’s also about the possibility of a wide diversity of tactics in the name of a livable future that include fighting both inside and outside the system. Characters in the novel contemplate targeted assassination of politicians and CEOs, industrial sabotage of coal plants, intentionally bringing down airliners in the name of destroying commercial air travel, bioterrorism against industrial slaughterhouses — and they do more than contemplate them. How does it change what’s possible when we stop worrying so much about losing in the right way, and start thinking about winning in the wrong ways?” [1]

To be honest, I'm surprised we're not seeing more acts of eco-terrorism yet. There are only isolated incidents of infrastructure sabotage. [2] I think it will change if (when) we don't meet the 2030 emission targets.

I don't know. I felt that Python 3 was an attempt to route around problems in Python 2 that couldn't be easily fixed.

I don't have much invested in Python at the moment. I would be more aware of and concerned about Python issues if I had larger scripts written in it that I need to maintain.

I have used Perl 5 long enough to know that it is a mature language. I'm concerned about the integrity of CPAN and individual modules' abilities to interoperate with the versions of Linux that I deploy in production.

At one point in my career I had a 30 minute commute on a two-land road through beautiful hilly vineyards, and I'd end up at the beach where I could watch the sunset. Even if my workday was hellish, by the time I got home i felt great.

At another point in my career I had a 30 minute commute in stop-and-go traffic on an ugly highway. It was soul crushing - I could feel the minutes being stolen from my life.

Too many people quantify commutes in minutes, but should probably be looking at the drive itself when choosing a job or a home.

it's simply not worth writing about.

We would need to convince people in society that it's not "worth writing about", which isn't going to happen. It's radical information freedom. People get access to information they would never have had access to previously. A drawback of that is that people become free to act on information they would never have had access to previously.

The thing about Twitter, (about most social media actually), is that they are built on the reality that the vast majority of the population believe this stuff is, indeed, "worth writing about". That's how they make their money. Everyone writing about what everyone else wrote about. Business is good precisely because everyone thinks all this stuff is "worth writing about". And there is no sign anyone will meaningfully change.

I don't see much hope actually. My best advice is try to maintain your privacy. (Well, I guess also "don't be an asshole" is pretty good advice as you intimate.)

This is a primary reason that we need a carbon tax. Building out renewables and stopping there will just make energy cheaper and induce demand. A carbon tax will actually change the energy mix by making carbon-intensive energy sources more expensive relative to less carbon-intensive sources.

Speaking of visual reality checks, check out En-ROADS, which was built in collaboration with MIT to simulate different policy interventions. Check out the carbon price slider compared to everything else: https://en-roads.climateinteractive.org/scenario.html?v=2.7....

My favorite thing to do with the money from a carbon tax is to just give it back to everyone as equal dividends, to offset any regressive effects of the carbon tax without creating tons of loopholes with another more complex disbursement scheme. This is called carbon fee and dividend.

The IPCC finds with high confidence that we need a high price on carbon to stay under 1.5C. PDF warning: https://www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/uploads/sites/2/2019/02/SR15...

A policy framework without a carbon tax is not serious about getting emissions down.

> they believed the drone was highly unlikely to be battery-powered based on the altitude, distance, and speed at which it flew

Does that mean it's gasoline powered?

Do we have many details on gas powered drones ? i.e. the kind of range, altitude and speed they can achieve?
I recently moved my laptop, desktop, and a few servers from Arch Linux to NixOS with flakes and home-manager. It is amazing! The complete configuration for all machines is in a single git repository, I can share configuration between them, and a `flake.lock` file guarantees all machines are using the same version of everything. No more trying to remember what command I need to run to install and configure software and no more copying files from `/etc` between machines. Best of all, if I need to rebuild a computer from scratch or buy a new one, just running `nixos-install --flake myrepo#mymachine` configures everything so I can pick up right where I left off with an identical setup.

I also appreciate that a lot of frequently used configuration is easy to enable. For example, to install podman, the Arch wiki details a number of files in /etc you need to edit. On NixOS, just add `podman.enable = true;` to your configuration and you're done.

At this point, I think NixOS is hugely underrated and I strongly encourage anyone who is an advanced linux user to try it.

Almost everything you see on Twitter is manipulated. Bad actors, the users and even Twitter themselves do it. If it's not them on a Sunday it's the bots doing it.

The daily drama on Twitter starts with a user spreading some unverified accusations of another user which that goes viral and someone's life is destroyed. Originating from Twitter and ends up in the newspapers and on some rare cases on TV (When it is slow news day).

Don't worry though, at least we know that Twitter is so heavily manipulated, even its users would STILL pay for the lies that spread so easily on there.

I agree, the tech platforms threaten to form a monopoly, which is why I noted it but decided not to address that fact. It may become a bigger problem, it may not - I guess we'll see what competition arises. Arguably, the more people see the threat, and start to care about it; The more they'll do about it, and competition will arise.

> How is that "fair" in the sense that was a low effort endeavour that got picked up and boosted to reach millions of people

This seems very similar to the radio/record-label issue. Whatever subpar trash band band Simon Cowell picks up gets boosted, whatever the radio channels choose to air over gate-keeped frequencies. The web is different in that such a monopoly is harder to maintain, not easier. We are still in the early days of internet media.

If cat videos are truly "low effort", then competition should be high, so expect the boost to be short lived as the competition starts to kick in. I'm actually somewhat surprised any particular cat video is able to make a lot of money still.

> which is what Youtube does in the end

YouTube won't necessarily be only game in town for long, I hope. Google rose to fame on the basis of a better search algorithm. Maybe the future of video streaming is a competitor with a better video recommendation algo?

> the majority are not trying to game a algorithm

The algo changes so much that this isn't necessarily a winning strategy.

> looking for some sort of "art-market-fit" (jesus, imagine that), they do things for the sake of expressing themselves

If you aren't ruled by capitalism, don't expect to earn as much capital. What else do you want: those ignoring the needs/signals of the market, get equally rewarded by the market? To quote:

"I write.. erotic novels. For children."

"What.."

"They're wildly unpopular."
> people still have some money with which to pay rent

And as a result, money will devalue, and rents will go up. So long as UBI recipients are competing with each other over housing, that's how it will work.

> since UBI as "proposed" my comment would replace other safety nets like unemployment benefits.

If UBI is universal, why would unemployment benefits be cut? wouldn't that mean the unemployed get comparatively less?

> to pay for the rest of UBI you wouldn't just print money but instead raise taxes

The problem with this is that tax rates now follow from UBI.

Previously we might say "The tax people pay is X% of income".

Now we pay a fixed sum $Y to everyone and we need to make up for $Y * P ; where P is the size of the population.

that means the average tax payed needs to be $Y per person. This obviously can't be equally distributed (otherwise Y = 0) but now the relative tax rate depends explicitly on population size. You've just moved the goalpost by making income less relevant, and citizenship more relevant; Now every new immigrant making less than average wage, increases the tax rate for everyone making more than average wage. Instead of opposing tax rates, the wealthy will oppose immigration rates.

The benefit of not guaranteeing tax-derived UBI, is that no one has to care who enters the country, b/c it doesn't have any effect on them.
Nothing against the business, but if one were to start a lifestyle business, I can't think of a worse one than a marketplace, where you have to deal with refunds, inventory, legal issues, tons of advertising, upfront losses, etc. You're probably better off actually selling your stuff in these marketplaces, if you wanted a lifestyle business.

When I think of lifestyle businesses, I think of Pinboard, or Appointment Reminder, or a Depop/Poshmark/Etsy storefront.
It could be interesting that the 4-6 rotor configuration, range/time of around and hour and 50mi, and the 14,000ft+ performance strongly indicate a fuel-powered device, but that the night vision goggles couldn't see it. It didn't indicate if the NVGs were of the ambient-light-enhancing type or IR type.

This probably tells us that the NVGs were the ambient-light-enhancing type as there would be very little ambient reflective light up there (considering it was last seen flying up into an overcast), and IR NVGs would probably pickup some image from the heat of the rotor motors even on a battery-only device, and any un-stealthed exhaust would glow like a spotlight.

Still, it'd be good to know what device they were using.

I also have to wonder why it flew so close to the police helicopter... and then over the AFB deep into a Class C airspace. Seems too deliberate, trying to get attention, not avoid it.

I've been involved in designing & building gasoline-powered drones, and that range & flight time is very doable. But the performance indicates sophisticated control links and so this is very likely more than just a casual wealthy hobbyist idiot. The NatSec implications are very serious, and at least it appears that they're paying attention to it.
> with UBI, people gain power against corporations

> With a genuine will-let-you-survive-indefinitely

I doubt that, for reasons outlined. Unless you address that, it is your unsubstantiated claim that this is the effect that UBI will have.
> I would prefer if you just abstained from voting, honestly.

So it's your way or the highway huh? So much for freedom and all that other stuff in the Constitution.

> I’m not really sure what you’re getting at.

I'm disagreeing with your assertion that "it's logically almost certain that a good trackpad is more efficient than any combination of keyboard shortcuts".

I thought you were talking about moving the cursor to a general area of the screen, not within the context of a text buffer, but there I still think using the keyboard for motion is more efficient once you build up the muscle memory for it. There are plugins like vim-easymotion[1] that make this faster, but I've found plain motion bindings to be efficient enough for me.

In any case, my intention wasn't to dismiss your personal preference, so apologies if it came out like that. At the end of the day we all have a specific workflow we prefer for whatever reason, and that's fine. I just objected to the general statement that a trackpad is more efficient.

The hospitals my wife works at, in SE London, just about maxed out their capacity before the numbers started receding again. It was close. The ongoing vaccine rollout at the time was a huge morale booster among NHS staff though.
Odd that the creators of the drone bothered with a flashing light.
No, I believe corporations try to maximize lifelong profits. Whatever morality is projected upon them. Sometimes this coincides with “societal morals” like Disney not using their characters for pornographic content for brand reasons. Also the major shift to electric vehicles which, in my opinion, was spurred by economic feasibility by technological progress and not anyone behaving in the interest of the planet (as much as they will market otherwise). Obviously, some companies do bad things in the interest of profits but they tend to die fast.

I don’t think selfishness is the right word here. Are you disgusted when you go to a restaurant and somebody orders food for themselves? I think you mean “when they act selfish at my expense” which is in itself a selfish sentiment.
