I don’t understand, are you saying documentaries should be made to generate a loss? Do you think the same documentary would be better if it didn’t have advertising or box-office showings?

>Every evil regime in history takes it upon itself to define and eliminate hateful content, using the contemporary unconscionable act to justify this evil.

>This current situation is the start of the road to tyranny.

I'm not a historian, but I can't think of many examples where an evil regime gained power by slowly "boiling the frog" and gradually eroding free speech rights.

Communist dictators typically seized power in a violent revolution spurred on by deliberate misinformation campaigns.

Many of the Middle-Eastern dictators seized power in a not-so violent revolution (at least, not violent enough to cause
a full-scale civil war) spurred on by deliberate misinformation campaigns.

The colonial powers maintained their grip on power by denying education to the natives, and when they left the dictators that took their place seized power by violence even in a Western legal framework.

Maybe the Nazis did this (I'm honestly not sure), and maybe Julius Caesar too? But this doesn't seem to be a set-in-stone, guaranteed way of seizing power.
It does, governments can pass laws, big businesses can't. They may buy politicians to pass the laws for them but in the end they can't pass the laws themselves.
I'm not saying it's not possible to find other equilibrium points. I'm just pointing out that there are more fundamental forces at play and it's not just because of our "monkey/animal brain".

Selective pressures that permit the emergence of cooperative behaviour require participating individuals to exhibit a variation in behaviour and those who cooperate result in having a higher fitness in the environment than those who shun cooperation.
The selection effect operates on over the whole population and over times that are longer than the life span of an individual.

An individual that is implementing what ultimately will emerge as the winning strategy, may on average be better off, but it can (and it will) be also often worse off.

Depending whose existence you're optimizing for (individual or species) changes the framing of what is the optimal strategy.

An existential risk for a species changes the framing of what is rational to do quite a lot.
"Ministry of Truth" references are the opposite of illuminating; they're reflexive association of any attempt to arbitrate truth with totalitarian oppression.

The fact is there is no such thing as rule of law without lots of institutions and individuals (private and public) taking responsibility for arbitrating truth. And there's no freedom of speech without allowing them to do it.

Dave Grossman’s reduced involvement really was a significant change for Full Throttle. From the article:

> One can sense throughout Full Throttle its makers’ restlessness with the traditional adventure form — their impatience with convoluted puzzles, bulging inventories, and all of the other adventure staples. They just want to have some loud, brash fun.

And this from Schafer himself, in an interview for the 2017 remaster:

> Game design, character, and story are all one thing. They’re not separate. So the interface should be part of the thematic presentation of who the main character is, and how they would solve a problem.

> If Bernard from Day of the Tentacle had to unlock a door with a ham sandwich, he’d lubricate a piece of bread with mayonnaise, slide it under the door, poke the key on the other side through with a toothpick to drop it on the bread, then slide it back out. But Ben would kick the door down and eat the sandwich.

My retort to those people is that would probably be illegal, and they shouldn't expect to be able to do illegal things. I don't think I've heard of a self driving car yet where it is OK to take your hands off the wheel.

I don't know the actual stats, but the danger of motorcycle riding is something that you are constantly aware of when on a bike.

You're constantly scanning for that one car that won't see you and plow into the side of you, and if you're in the hills a lapse in concentration or patch of gravel can throw you off.

What I mean by that is it's much easier to identify it as a high risk activity compared to alcohol or cigarettes since the risk is an in your face might end you today, rather than an abstract idea of this will hurt you in the long run
That's what I said, AZ is still good for poor countries. I don't know if it is better than Chinese one or not, from what I have observed, AZ has side effect issue, and is not offering first tier protection. I am only commenting on AZ, not trying to start a political fight.

I live 20-30 mins from the nearest large city. If the car was waiting for me to summon it at the parking space I own it would take that long for me to get my ride home at the end of the night. Sure I could summon it earlier but who micro manages their time like that? Parking it closed so I have a lower waiting time means parking it in a spot I do not own which usually requires compensation to the person who does.

The closer you live to the city the cost of land increases, so for those living real close to the city having a parking space they own or even have the right to use is not always a given.

And even if you do, the space often increases the cost of the home which is a cost you can recoup if giving up the car.

The car needs to be “somewhere” when it’s not in use by you. Elons plan is that is once the car is fully autonomous it can be out earning you money as an auto taxi (doubt that would be a thing where I live, at least not right away, the only way Uber is allowed to operate here is by only allowing drivers who are already licensed taxi drivers).

So it will always be a time - cost trade off. The closer the car is parked near you, the less time you will have to wait for it to be summoned, however the closer the car is parked to you the more it will cost you in parking charges. If you are pimping out your own car as an auto taxi you might be making money while your having fun with friends but you might have to wait an hour for your own car if it just started giving some a ride home, they don’t want to pool even though they live just half a mile from your home.

I think the problem with mythologizing and the fictional nonsense would have grown up around whatever term was originally adopted.

AGI though is just the worst. If I am consider to posses general intelligence then why I am so bad at painting? I would love to be able to paint, even to just do Picasso ripoffs but I can't even make something close after much time, effort and training on past data/paintings.

When a computer has the same type of problem though then it negates any concept of general intelligence for the computer.

Nothing short of an Artificial God will satisfy what we mean by AGI.

Our poorly defined language here is causing philosophical problems.

I think a good analogy is to artificial light. The attitude towards AI would be to not be impressed by the light bulb but be constantly waiting for some miniature Sun/star that doesn't even make sense. That light bulb is not real artificial light says the AGI fanatic.

Just on the point about turntables: I've done a good deal of photogrammetry on small objects, and part of what helps the photo alignment is the background. If the object is on a turn table and the background never changes (even if its blank) the software will have a hard time with alignment, so its best to just walk around the object, besides you have to get lots of up-high and down-low shots which is another step to automate.
Or not remove the configuration utility, in some cases. No one here asked for telepathy and amazing defaults, but take away my configurability and I get upset.
i respect your view. But IMHO for low speed home-to-office commutes there is a market for 100% autonomous cars that can free a person up for productivity tasks or other activity rather than have to drive the same route over and over.

This is mentioned in the article. They wanted essentially to own the IP to every martial arts move Li would have recorded for them, allowing them to essentially have him or even just his moves with someone else's face superimposed, so what would they need the actors for at that point?

And of you are just going to digitally do the fight scenes then why not just use moves already recorded without any IP?

At which point you might not care if its _your_ car. Any passing empty self drive car will do. Once you've got out of it, it can go and do other things.

Reduced need to actually own a car, and fewer cars on the road (or parked) as empty car capacity can be fully utilised. Of course the lifespan of an individual vehicle will be reduced.

Yea he was up for Seraph. The actor who ended up playing him was spectacular though.

I love Keanu Reeves as much as the next person byt there's a reason he's described as 'wooden' in his acting.

Until John Wick I honestly would have bet money he couldn't act with real emotions.

I remember there being a word for it when an actor just lools like they always do but due to music score and your own expectations you assume they are acting how you would expect. I think Keanu has mastered that =)

geesh. how about doing a generalized survey similar to this on a country level, like there are "muslim majority" countries where alcohol is either banned or is present to a level that it doesnt matter. do those countries see less cancers than say france or any european country or the usa which does have an extensive alcohol use?
> Companies aren't allowed to advertise rat poison as medicine and neither are you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warfarin

In fact, they are and they do. (Ok, not you unless you run a pharm company). The best known rat poison is warfarin, an anticogulant used world wide as a medicine under various names.

As to your main point, how do you or others on SM, define misinformation? Do you believe the shadowy folk (qualifications unstated) who pontificate at FB, Twitter, Google and Wikipedia? That has to be absurd and shocking.
Anyone who wants to (and wants to seems to be the issue), can see the fatuity of this after searching for overturned consensus views as supported by the SM platforms mentioned.
The search should include the peer-reviewed literature.

A most recent volte-face relates to Covid origin, In April it was undoubtedly of natural origin as we were authoritatively informed by the Lancet. Now in July, the previously regarded conspiracy theory is taken seriously by people able to make a judgment. Who does one believe, the unknowns at SM or someone like Peter Palese, https://labs.icahn.mssm.edu/paleselab/) who was among 27 scientists who had earlier signed the Lancet letter denouncing as “conspiracy theories” the notion that the coronavirus could have escaped from a lab — or even be man-made. He now disavows that claim as do many others of similar status.
> why would it be bad if a government censors speech?

Its a step in the wrong direction. The next step is to forbid asking that question. Step 3 is war to get our rights back. 2 and 3 may take time. Say 6 years for 2 and 1000 years for 3.

1000 years of blaming the witches, the socialists, the unionists, the jew, the Muslim, the Chinese, the Russians and of course you!

If you were defending the governments right to censor speech you were useful in installing it. When the censorship is accepted by the masses you become someone known to publicly share an opinion about a forbidden topic. Presenting the question for others to answer the way you just did is much worse than having your own opinion.

If we allow people like that, before we know it, we have people questioning everything!
Easy.

Simply by not demanding anything --- contrary to the article's unsupported claims.

The administration is providing info --- which they have every right to do under the first amendment. What Facebook chooses to do with that info is ultimately Facebook's decision.

"Demanding" or coercing action, with any sort of adverse repercussions involved for failure or refusal to act, would become a legal/first amendment/fascist issue. But the article fails to provide any support for it's claim of such.

Lacking any "demand" by the administration, there is nothing to challenge --- except perhaps the motives of the article and Caitlin Johnstone.
I came to say the same thing. It seems to me that grape juice would simply make for a different set of problems.
That is a great analogy that I had not thought of before and finance is everything to me.

I think in the same way we need to accept all regulation in this area will have flaws but flawed regulation is far better than zero regulation.
Yeah I was really surprised by that as well. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case where I live. 90 € / month (before tax) for 2U with 4 IPv4 and 100Mbps "best effort".

You can almost rent a small office for that price and just throw the server in there. I've run the numbers and if you need the standard 3U worth of space (a 2U storage and 1U compute server), you're better off renting an office and a residential 600/300Mbps fibre connection.

The scale at which Google operates today, anything short of defining some of its popular products as public utilities would be disingenuous.

Except this is not a Google drive (the product) access issue. It is an access to information issue, if you look at it fundamentally.
> completely ridiculous pile on

I believe people reacted because you downplayed the importance of the study (at least I did). Just because it doesn't outright prove causation, doesn't mean we should not pay attention.

In the past decades, public health suffered immensely due to "benefit of the doubt" given to smoking.

Cigarette companies used the same arguments as you: “Sure there are statistics associating lung cancer and cigarettes. There are statistics associating lung cancer with divorce, and even with lack of sleep. But no scientist has produced clinical or biological proof that cigarettes cause the diseases they are accused of causing.”

>and you're free to just host your files someplace other than Google Drive

And that other place won't censor me?
> To be honest, there is very little I see that should be censored beyond CP.

And, just to make the point of how hard it is to get consensus here, I'll disagree with you about the CP under some conditions.

I think others will too.

For example some would say that voluntarily made CP (e.g. 17 year old's nude pics) should be uncensored, others might just include an exception for simulated images, still others would say allow everything as long as there's a very low likelihood of victim or victim's connections stumbling across it and no money is changing hands.
Lowering your expected lifetime probably also lowers your expected time until disease.

Switch it. Are people, on average, who have never drank alcohol living longer and healthier lives than even those on the lowest level of consumption?

This is far more relevant and the answer is likely to be 'depends' due to an average human life being a colossal confluence of many 'stuff'. This 'average' reporting can be dangerously misleading.
Yeah about 2/3 either don't drink or drink very rarely.
Where have you been? Hall monitors at CNN and other outletd like Oliver Darcy have been shrieking about "misinformation," and successfully lobbying to get people censored on that basis, constantly for the last four years.

I dunno.. a macmini M1 idles 7watt. This cluster does 36watt idle, 43watt normal use, or 48watt idle with the fan, and probably 62watt peak load with high fan.

The M1 uses 26 under load and 39watt peak load (16GB with the 2TB ssd version according to apple). Measured with kill-a-watt, I've read 4watt idle and 20watt full load. So I think the 26watt is probably a more realistic value.

16GB version: $899
1TB usb-c ssd: $109
1U rackmount: $199

This will give you 16GB ram and 1.2TB ssd for $1207. It can fit two mac minis. As the purpose was 1U with max 1A/120V, you'd be able to run 3 mac minis in 1U (or 4 if you make sure they don't exceed 30watt).

In terms of performance the pi does 295single and 830multi. 5 rpis is 295single (does not increase with 5 rpis!) and 4150multi. The M1 does 1748single and 7660multi. So you get about twice the cpu performance (ignoring the super fast 256gb ssd, and other hardware features the M1 has, and the overhead of running a 5 node cluster).

A rackshelf for 4 mac-minis is $359. If you'd actually put in 3 (because of the 1A limit), you'd have 6x the cpu performance for somewhere between $3000 and $3300 (depending on the storage you want). All still in 1U.

If power usage can be higher, you could actually fit up to 8 mac minis (36" depth) for 2.6A @120V. The comparison table in the article compares this setup with a Dell using 2.08A ("not at peak?"). But if you consider a max of about 20watt per M1, you can host 4-6 M1s with 1A.

Also, you won't have to deal with breaking sd cards, the heat, noise, the wiring mess, and it has many hardware features that an rpi doesn't have. You won't have to deal with the storage, memory and cpu overhead of running something distributed.

Still it's fun to tinker around with rpis. Although I stopped using them, as storage is really flakey because of the SSDs. Other SBCs offer built-on ssd storage.
I'm more than okay with paying for these things; in fact, I already pay for majority of them.
That’s ok. Those two are forgotten, while the other is actively despised.
While the grape juice is super tasty, this absolutely not meaningful comparison. For one, it is not so healthy to drink sugary stuff all too often.

For the other it is not replacement in any meaningful sense. The equivalent amount wont stop your thirst and one cup of grapefruit juice feels like you have drunk nothing.
