We are all vulnerable to misinformation that affirms our existing biases or that comes from individuals/organizations that have either previously been reliable sources or we have incorrectly regarded as reliable.

If the Washington Post ran an article that stated that a former NASA scientist believed the rate of climate change was vastly higher than previously anticipated I would probably buy it.

If it later turned out his specialty was Chemistry, he had been fired for using his expertise to make meth, and his research was bunkum I would have to eat crow and watch that publication far more carefully.

On a more realistic note I believed to my chagrin that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and reading of some of the awful crimes of Saddam I thought not going in would be a great act of moral evil as it would mean abandoning the citizens to be victimized by a monster. 21 year old me didn't realize there was no good proof of WMDs, that we would kill half a million of them, and that we might well leave them no better off if our efforts collapsed shortly after we left.

Insofar as what separates the reasonable from the rubes

- A modest amount of accumulated understandings about how history,science, math, stats etc work sufficient to reject obviously untrue statements

- The understanding that everything you understand or think you know ought to be criticized and revised over time in response to new evidence. Valuing truth over authority and conformity.

- An understanding of the common failure modes of logic and reason so that you can recognize bullshit when you see it

- A reasonably strategy to use all of the above to evaluate sources continually to see if they are and remain trustworthy.

The 3d printed part, 24x drives, and m2 shield all sound like awesome ideas. If I had an use for 2U worth of Pis (that would be a ton!), I'd definitely consider it.

More like Dealership-Driven than Self-Driving, at that price. I cant imagine owning such an expensive car, loaded with sensors and computers, only to be told using the computers is going to cost that much.

I don't drive a lot, but my car cost $4000 in 2007, and has $5000 in maintenance put into it, and I pay a bit over $600 a year on insurance. Registration & city parking is ~$150/year. This service is significantly more expensive than my total cost to own my vehicle.

People won't install another social media app if there isn't sufficient incoming social credit encouraging them to use it and the need falls into an existing category. Something sufficiently different can gain an “I couldn't have done this with” credit to overcome some stickiness with.

Why local legends about birds matter
I made my own. I like markdown a lot, and also want to have full control over all of my notes... Most importantly, I want to track my ideas with tags, and also have the ability to cluster text semantically.

... so I built my own tool. I call it NonConOS (non-consensus operating system)[1]. I haven't opened it up to other people yet but if you want to give it a shot, I'm always happy to let others try it. The idea is: use markdown but enable tags as well! Simple.

And it's your right to think that. But it's my right to think that containing the degree that people can be assholes makes for a better internet and a better world.

In the physical world, if people act badly enough, there will tend to be physical consequences. If someone goes up to a grandmother or little girl or whoever, and starts berating them with vile or threatening speech, they do so at the risk of finding themselves bloodied or worse. Everyone knows this can happen, and unless they are mentally ill, tend to learn at an early age to curtail such behavior behavior before something bad happens to them.

All this has had thousands of years to evolve to the current state, where in most places (at least in the first world), interacting with people in public places is generally pleasant and non-confrontational.

But online, it isn't that way. When there are zero repercussions, things become very unpleasant for all but... well, those assholes.

I get that you prefer such a world, but I don't. How do we work that out? Do we all adopt your way, simply because.... I dunno, I guess because that's what you want?

Caste != Class

In America there is no system in place today that forces people to remain separate or keeps one Class subservient to another.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varna_(Hinduism)

If you were born the son of a street sweeper, but excelled, you would be fully accepted by your peers.

Not so in India. The Caste system freezes everyone in place for their life time.

For someone to move from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_caste to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_caste is denied.

A Lower caste would never be allowed to marry Upper caste. https://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2013/01/16/why-honor-kil...

What a truly bizarre thing to say, given where a non-trivial number of the pharmacological companies involved are based.
Most large real-time systems (or near enough) must be eventually consistent due to speed of light delays between all nodes of the system.

Multiplayer video games have big problems with light speed. A user could be 100ms away from the server, and another 100ms in the other direction, so anything one user does, the other will see 200ms later. If the game wasn't eventually consistent, it would need to be a turn based game as 5 actions per second is too slow as most real-time games run 60-100 actions per second.

A bank account is also eventually consistent as transactions need several days to clear, causing the exact balance to be unknown. This is why a bank establishes an "available" balance as that is the most pessimistic estimation of an accounts balance.

Like with all things, designing a system as eventually consistent or as a leader-type really depends on the application, the team that is going to build it and the resources available to support it.
I completed the remaster a year or two ago and had a great time. The temptation to look at a walkthrough when meeting a tricky puzzle is real, though. It simply ruins these type of games.

> It's too late to stop the tech from existing

I have no qualms with the tech existing, assuming I do is you creating an argument I don't have. In fact I work in ML generative modeling. But just because a tool exists doesn't mean you shouldn't be thoughtful about how you use it. Technology isn't really good or bad on its own.

> there's no individuals actually being harmed

This is debatable. I think a lot matters on how you think of dead people. I believe most people would take the stance that it is unethical to use someone's image to promote things they did not stand for. You're right that it is very difficult to impossible to harm a dead person, but there's still respect. There's also a family that lives with how you portray said person. They _can_ be harmed.

> the end-game is just going to be updated contracts which demand rights to use the performer's likeness for these sorts of purposes

If there's (informed) consent then what's the issue? (If we assume that said person knows what they have consented to)

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but your response seems in bad faith and to operate on many assumptions about me that just do not hold true. Frankly this is not the kind of conversations I want to have on HN or expect to have. I'm happy to argue about the ethics and have differing opinions, but I do not appreciate my image being depicted with a broad brush. As long as the conversation is in good faith we can discuss a lot of controversial things and disagree all day and everything will be fine. But turning

I think there's a case to be made against that as well. The plot is weirdly placed, it is hard to buy in to the motivations behind for each plot point, and the characters act more like sensitive computer nerds rather than tough biker gang members.

Even worse, imagine there was a technology that allowed you to print those jailbait photos by the thousands and drop them in Times Square. That would be far too dangerous.

Ban the printing press! It's too dangerous. It should be controlled by the church and the state!

Even better, get rid of religion and intertwine religious righteousness with politics. Then the state can control it all!

It probably died in a national security review since both Russia and China would have an easy time tapping it in Cuba, and supporting the Communist Cuban government is not in the interest of the US.

Castro (dictator for life) died, so it makes sense to destabilize Cuba as much as possible now.

(For those who don't know anything about Cuba, you can't even own a private store or garage there - Castro literally socialized everything. Which is why all the business owners moved to Miami.)
The best place to be is home. In an emergency situation, your own government (the one you hold the citizenship for and have cultural ties with) is the one you can rely on.
Non-citizen residents will get shafted.
Any country that is too foreign will be hard to navigate (I mean navigate the bureaucracy) in an emergency situation. And also consider, as a foreigner your ties with the locals are going to be weak so you will need to fend for yourself.

I mean, as an EU citizen who has lived in multiple EU countries, this is also true today when everything is smooth sailing.

In any emergency situation it won't take long for anti-foreign sentiments to become a cause for concern.

The author is Sabine Hossenfelder, well posted on HN - https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=backreaction.blogspot...

A moderate scientist, but unwilling to put up with BS.

Has interviewed some of the top people in physics, not popular people but top people. Has several books out.

One of the best scientists out there talking real science IMO. Puts in a lot of work to her videos that go to a pretty high level. Has a odd and funny sense of humour. Also does music videos.

Also needs to earn money. People complain about product placement and influencers, people complain about pay walls, it all gets pretty boring. She puts in very obvious ads, not sure what more people want.

Generally she's pretty right. I'm sure she can be wrong. I learned something from her video.

This month across Europe thousands of pidgins went missing. Some claim it was solar weather, but no one seems willing to confirm or deny that. How can that be? Do we not track this stuff. I'm happy for her to do a video on this.

I am not really sure of the agenda behind this post, but just a reminder that there is a submarine cable (ALBA-1) that connects Cuba and Venezuela and serves as a full time link and connects Cuba to the world and gives them FREE INTERNET through Venezuelan biggest ISP (Cantv).

This free internet makes Venezuelans furious as our corrupt, dictatorship government rather give CUBA a big part of our own international connectivity that actually use that for our own connectivity/broadband. Note that we have one of the slowest internet connections in the world [1], this last 24 months, we have improved a lot (from rank 200+ to 139) due to some private ISPs finally allowed to purchase a bit more of bandwidth, but it’s still hoarded by our national ISP (gov controlled) and Cuba itself, there has been reports of the CUBA's power going as far as actually having managing positions on venezuelan national's ISP and helping Venezuela's gov on censuring our internet. [2] [3]

I don’t want to get political here, but in before you start criticizing sanctions/blockade and come with sob stories, lets talk about what Cuba really is, a 60 years old dictatorship where human rights are violated everyday making every citizen life a living hell.

tldr; Cuba gov controls all internet access to the island, and they get internet from Venezuela for free no matter what USA does, so they aren't really disconnected from the world because of sanctions/blockade.

Also, don't know if it's still going on now but when all these extra federal unemployment payments started, they were an extra $600 per week no matter how much state unemployment you qualified for. So, e.g. if you were a student who worked 10 hr/week part time, you received an extra $600/wk on top of your state money (which wouldn't be much because you worked so few hours).

The importance of the observation is radically exaggerated.

When the compiler can see both the call site and the function definition (such as when the function is inline, or a template) it is free to ignore ABI.

If there is a break, it will either be wholly backward-compatible, so that new code can still call old functions, or be a whole separate build target, like the jump from x86 to amd64, with no possibility of linkage mistakes. (There must be people reading here who don't recall the move from 32- to 64-bit x86. It was wholly painless for programmers; not so much for OS distributors.) Imagine building for ARM today; you are at absolutely no risk of accidentally linking x86 code.
