I don't see how (although I might not object to some values of your quote).

It seems a straightforward choice:

1) Go forward as a Carrier and delete ALL features with a hint of editing, promotion, or recommendation, i.e., a simple straight chronological feed of other members' posts/feed specifically selected by each user, and maybe a search function.

2) Go forward as a Publisher and select, edit, recommend, promote, annotate etc. as much as they want.

With Option-1 they can avoid all responsibility for content, merely doing takedowns on items for which they get notices. With Option-2, they have the same responsibility of any publisher for their content (e.g., newspapers are still responsible for the 'Letters to The Editor' that they choose to publish, and I'm sure edit out profanities, etc.)

I expect that users would actually strongly prefer Option-1, although actual "engagement" numbers could decline, it might actually be a better advert platform.

It also seems that viral content would still exist, but be more 'natural', i.e., not enhanced by algorithms, since you Alan could see something from Bob and repost it, which would be seen by Chris, who is subscribed to Alan but not Bob, and Chris could repost it to be seen by Debbie, who subscribes to neither Alan nor Bob...

So, I'm curious how you see that this would this kill/outlaw social media?
Bogus claims?
Ok anecdotal evidence but I went to the eye doctor with my sibling when I was 8 and she was 10. We BOTH were proscribed the same glasses.
I ended up wearing them all the time, and grew up to having a -4.0 by the time I was 30
My sibling? She never wore her glasses growing up and oddly enoug has perfect vision in her mid 30’s

Now granted I spent most of my time growing up playing on the computer and reading - but I was wearing my glasses the whole time so year by year it got worse. Eye doctors say “oh youre just growing into your eyes” when they know that’s not the case. Look at how many children have (pseudo)-myopia due to growing up with smartphones and tablets 24/7. It’s not hard to figure out.

Now I don’t think there’s an exact science to curing myopia but at the very least everyone should practice the 20/20/20 rule and wear their distance glasses as little as possible. Just those 2 things can save you from developing pseudomyopia.
Honestly? Please don't.

I don't mean to be rude, but the quality of some coding books is not good at all. The majority are rehashes of online documentation on what the function does with barely any examples on "real world application" and could easily be found online for free. I've seen enough chapters on how NumPy arrays work to completely disregard them. As an example, I recently picked up a book on Python for Civil Engineering because I was looking for said "real world" examples for a course I was teaching. In total, there are 6 civil engineering examples across the 160 pages and each needs ALL the basic concepts before you see them (although one is just "here's how matplotlib works").

If you choose to self-publish, please have more than the bare minimum in examples. Take a page out of Miguel Grinberg's Flask Tutorial [1] and have the entire book build up to something. If you're doing something like how to do Data Science with language X, use some larger scale datasets, walk through them, and explain what you are seeing beyond "here's the print statement's output".

Most of the videos on my YouTube channel that are about "How to use X in Y" get minimal views, because they're so simple that you only need to see it once via a video or webpage to "get it". However, some of my more popular videos are where I implement algorithms like the Luhn Check algorithm. Have that kind of material in your book.

I am not a Go programmer but I would assume that each behaviour of Animal would be a struct with one or more methods. Those behaviours are added to the agent to make it an animal. Composition. If you want your Food item to walk like a duck and quack like a duck you just add Walk and Quack to it. Presumably some other system would take care of identifying those behaviours and calling them as needed.
I think copilot is the wrong application of AI. It spits out what most coders would write for a specific problem. First, if many people have the same problem, than libraries are the solution, not copy-pasting. Also, just because many people do one thing doesn't mean it is the right thing to do, and you sometimes get code with security vulnerabilities.

Instead, I would like a system telling me about obscure things, traps, vulnerabilities, performance issues, etc... like the machine learning linter. The way I could see it work is by matching my code with bugfix commits. For example if several commits replaces "printf(buffer)" with "printf("%s", buffer)" and I write "printf(buffer)", I want an AI to tell me "code like yours is often replaced in commits, it may be wrong", bonus points if it can extract the reason from commit messages ("format string vulnerability") and suggest a replacement ("printf("%s", buffer)"), mega-bonus if it can point me to good explanation of the problem.

Pissing lines of code is easy, I can do it, anyone with a couple weeks of training can do it, I don't need a bot to help me with that. Thinking about everything while I am pissing my lines is hard, and I will welcome a little help.

A nice thing about that approach is that it is unlikely to result in worse code than what I would have written by myself, because it will be designed to trigger only on bad code.

Oh, it seems you have not read the licenses because only what can affect the license is in the license.

The relevant part of the license is the definition of the covered work, which basically says that the output of any algorithm that uses copyrighted code as input is under the same license. It's wonderfully broad and general IMO.

As for my intent, that is published as FAQ's alongside the licenses, but not as part of the license text itself.

And yes, I am trying to spread FUD. That's the point. Spreading FUD is not necessarily a bad thing, especially in the legal realm against big megacorps.
I can't imagine working on any personal project without git. How often have you been working on something for a while, noticed part of it that was working before was now broken and had no idea why. If you'd been making regular commits to git you could go through recent/pending changes and work out was was different trivially.

Git is also incredibly simple on single person personal projects, just git init, git add, git commit and some way to view the history and pending changes (either the command line, or most editors have a built in viewer).
Visualizing Autoencoders with Tensorflow.js
Playing "8KHz audio" is not the same thing as a playing an "8KHz frequency" (which yes in this case is a actually a square wave, so technically its Fourier transform shows other frequencies being played - but the programmer only gets to set the frequency of the square wave).

One more thing to have, which seems obvious, but is also worth mentioning here: a Security Configuration Guide.

Basically, one guide that explains all the security features, how they work, when they should be used, associated configuration settings, what defaults are, what other possible values are, known gotchas, how to verify security features are working correctly, which ports and protocols are used and when they're used (so that a firewall admin can setup accordingly), etc.
The various teams in Facebook recruit under the surmise of helping protect people. Be it marketplace (payments), spam/phish/malware, inauthentic content, etc. For many, this is a strong draw.

Unfortunately, Facebook leadership has repeatedly shown that investing in this area is not a priority unless it hits their bottom line. I applaud Sophie for speaking out, I just wish it would make a bigger difference. In the end, I don't think Facebook will change their behavior will unless forced.
Is there one person in the cab? Is the bed empty? Then its unnecessary. You could quantify this unnecessary factor explicitly, divide the weight of persons+cargo by the weight of the vehicle and we could call the resulting ratio "ridiculousness" with a certain threshold.

> There is a body of people who do this: 535 of them. We elect them. Their job is to write laws that set up what can and cannot be done.

The law (state law, the federal constititution, and the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act) already exists, the question is resolving a dispute about what the laws that exist, taken together, allows.

If the solution to every dispute about the law is to defer to more lawmaking, then there is no enforceable law.

> Most states do this already with the registration. Of course there's the second order taxation on the increased fuel usage.

Do more of it, then. :)

> This should be done for all vehicles since the tests are a joke.

Agreed, but I still think there is value in even higher standards for larger vehicles, from both a deterrent perspective and a competency one.

> Not to mention there's the possibility that the smaller cars involved in the crashes could be at fault (ie not all truck involved crashes are the fault of the truck and increased training just for the larger vehicle won't help them).

Also consider that more onerous licensing requirements will (hypothetically) deter people from buying the regulated vehicles, meaning there will be less of them on the road, meaning it's less likely that one will be involved in any given collision.

> I don't really see the point of this. If anything the disclaimer would be promoting the safety for the prospective buyer, providing incentive to buy it.

If the restrictions are "you cannot advertise them" then I think it would be very effective in slowing or reversing their proliferation. Surely there is some happy medium.

> What would that look like beyond the current requirements?

I'd probably look at Europe as an example.

Beyond that, I might approach the problem by establishing a baseline in certain collision tests with practical and reasonably sized cars that achieve a high safety standard, e.g. frontal pedestrian impact for something Camry-sized, and ban or more stringently regulate any configuration that (when tested) presents a statistically significant relative increase in risk to the other participants in the collision.

> I could see some utility in this. Is there any data to show the frequency with which non-illegal modifications where a contributing factor so that cost benefit analysis could be performed?

I'm not aware of any such studies. They'd be hard to do comprehensively, since modifications are so variable, but I imagine some straightforward correlations could be proved out with some effort e.g. ride height vs. crash danger.

It would be expensive data to gather, but what's a human life worth? We also might consider simply banning certain kinds of modifications, e.g. those that significantly change vehicle geometry relative to stock and/or remove safety features. Roads are public infrastructure, not a private playground, and the onus should be on those who wish to modify their vehicles outside of regulated configurations to prove that they are safe.
No the implication is a vaccine mandate in itself implies a calculated risk assessment that is sufficiently obvious it doesn’t make sense to use it as a basis for discussion.
> You would have created a better army if you could sufficiently motivate them without using yourself.

You're going to have to do that yourself at times. You can't build an army without your troops knowing who you are, you have to instruct them at some point, and they have to believe you for some reason. You have to inspire them at some juncture just to get the organization rolling. You can't sufficiently motivate them if they don't know you exist at some point in the chain of events. What are they motivated by, inspired by, if they don't know you exist? You have to actively win them over, they have to believe in you for a good reason. You can't do that by always being the quiet person they don't know exists, they will not believe in you if that's all you have ever been to them. Which goes to the point that there's a time and place - likely many times and places - where even an introvert CEO will be called to inspire actively, to be outgoing for necessary effect. There is no scenario where that won't be the case if you're leading over the long-term. And that's the point and why it is a counterexample. There are times you'll have to be the charismatic outgoing leader that inspires the troops to charge over the hill. Times when the business is against the wall and you have to inspire everyone to fight for survival, believe that it's possible to succeed in a dire context. Or times when you need a massive sea change in the business, and you have to actively get everyone on-board the new direction (otherwise it'll be a disaster). It's the exceptionally rare business scenario where that never needs to happen across years, much less decades. Businesses are made by such moments, just as they also are made by the day to day monotonous work.
> Your family members started a business, and running a business comes with risk.

My whole point is the government changed the rules in the middle of the game. Certainly bad tenants are always a risk, but not bad tenants that the government forces you to house for over a year.

What you're doing is like telling businesses that get nationalized by corrupt regimes "hey, business comes with risk". But my whole point is, eventually, nobody can accept those risks, so people choose not do to business, which actually makes things worse for everyone.
Because Panic has forced you to purchase this instead, so you no longer have a choice.
Yep, can confirm.
You don't have to use the command line, most code editors have built in UI for this, especially when you're only using these basic git features.
Yes, I very much doubt that this will be a vast consumer success like the iPod/Dropbox/etc. (Though since they've already sold through their initial run, it's probably going to be a success for Panic! at least.)

But the meat of the issue isn't related to ultimate success, it's that the famous Slashdot comment, and the grandparent here, aren't getting the point -- they're caught up in a feature list comparison, and missing the holistic element. The iPod was worse than a Nomad in the metrics people were using to compare MP3 players at the time; it was just also a better product.

Of course, telling the difference between a refined product and a pretentious flash in the pan is famously difficult. But that's the theory of why you'd buy the Playdate instead of the Retroid.

(My personal take is that it looks fun, and it wouldn't take many of those first 24 included games being decent to get it to a respectable value.)
A big difference still stays: a frontend (and that includes SPAs, mobile apps and desktop applications) is essentially restarted all the time.

If I screw something up in the frontend, then in most cases, I can fix it and people use the new version / reload the page and that's it. In backend, if I screw up, in most cases I now have a data problem and an ongoing problem that might only be fixable through an operational update. I might even have lost/overwritten data that is not recoverable or only through backups.

Sure, this can happen on the frontend too (e.g. sending a wrong update command to the backend API or when storing some data/configuration directly in the browser) but from my experience it is much much more likely to happened in the backend and if it does, it is more severe.

This doesn't make things more difficult on the technical side per se, but it slows things down a lot. I can't count how often I wished to be able to just truncate all user data and start with a fresh plate, instead of with a long, messed up user data history that contains quirks, fixes/workarounds in the data and that I have to stay compatible with and not forget.

> By contrast, most knowledge work today operates with no deliberate structure at all. Instead of carefully constructed processes to get the most out of each person, we just hand out tasks and leave people to organise themselves organically in whatever way feels easiest to them.

I've very much felt this pain in a few of my roles. I understand the need for this sort of many-hats-wearing, elbow-greased approach to solving business problems in a startup. But it's infuriating working in late-stage startups (or even mid-sized tech companies) that fail to get away from this 'throw people at the problem' mentality and spend the time and resources to explicitly define what the business' core processes are and how they work.

I know not everyone thinks about problems in terms of process flows, but it still drives me crazy!
"And if any individual tries to opt out and focus on one thing for an entire day, they’re throwing a wrench in the ‘hyperactive hive mind’, which explains why calls for individual discipline have done so little to fix the problem."

Another HN thread recently linked the essay "Meditations on Moloch," which among other things talks about multi-polar traps, things like the prisoner's dilemma in which the players are incentivized to defect. I never thought of the email problem this way, but it definitely feels right now that I think about it.

I'm privileged to work somewhere where my bosses specifically tell me to turn off my email and just pair program with someone, but honestly I still leave my chats up and allow myself to be constantly diverted. I've clearly internalized this way of working and the fear of being "rude" or whatever by not instantaneously responding to the point where it's the natural way I work. This is in spite of the fact that it's something I work to break out of.
I’m possibly not the most rational when it comes to these things as I have one on order, as well as an Analog Pocket, ZX Spectrum Next and Switch Deck. The price point seems fairly reasonable to me when you consider hardware and software development costs, plus overheads like marketing, infrastructure etc. It’s unlikely to ever be seriously mass market.

Compare the cost to a PS5 game like the recent Ratchet & Clank - the RRP in the UK is £70. I know my 3 year old and I will easily get £200 of comparable value from this, even if it is a bit janky and gimmicky. I’m also keen to support some of these random projects as they seem to have some real passion driving them. As I said, maybe I’m not totally objective, but i’m hopeful there’ll be a couple of real gems in the games they have coming out on this. I’m sure we’ll have a few weekends of good fun playing about with the SDK making some stuff as well.
I'm not (don't have any, don't plan on any) but as it turns out, we haven't figured out another way to replicate ourselves yet.

Lumber is still $7 a stick (2x4 x 8ft) at Home Depot around here - about 3-5x what it was before.
When I was low on funds I prepared a quasi sous vide with an ice chest and just manually adding hot water every ~20min (hot tap water is close to enough, you only have to boil like one extra pot). I cooked it a few degrees (F) hotter because the temperature variation was greater than a commercial unit and I was a bit concerned about food safety, but the outcome was similar.

Nowadays you can get a model that clips onto one of your pots and works great for under $70. It is a bit specialized, but I use mine a lot.
Gut feeling: 10-15%.

It has a very nice industrial design language and it's whimsical, a combination which appeals to some people I guess.

I feel like I mainly see people interested in this who I'd consider casual gamers at most but who are into deep design (UI/UX/ID/Typography).

Definitely not my thing though, and I don't get why anybody in the world is interested in a handheld like this when we have the Switch, tons of retro and Windows-handhelds, and above all the Steam Deck being released soon-ish.

“Refused” is misleading; “would refuse” would be most accurate.

This is not a result of an enforcement action by the State or a private party because of refusal to make actual sites requested by actual customers, but a pre-enforcement challenge to anti-discrimination law by a website designer who claims that they are deterred fron offering wedding-related services by the implicit threat that they would need to do so for same-sex couples or face enforcement action.
