It’s about the plasticity of your brain, but also sometimes about the opposite: holding firm mentally. Some brains hold simpler models with greater certainty. Some brains hold more complex models with less certainty. Each type witnesses instances of “stupidity” in the other; overly plastic brains (guilty) can seem aloof, imprecise; the opposite can seem too literal and closed-minded. Guess which brain votes for which political party :).

However, the caveat is that the latter brain is more suited to the world right now, with society becoming information rich and complex, and with nuanced social norms (not just x is good, y is bad). Of course I’m biased here.

The law and morality are often fundamentally opposed. Saudi Arabia punishes homosexuality with the death penalty, and Apple happily removed the encrypted communications from their phones so they could continue selling in that country.

Illegal or not, comparing two teens that sent naked selfies to each other is not even remotely similar to involuntary child abuse from an adult.

>this article about a teenager facing 10 years in prison for having pictures of himself naked at 16 years old on his phone

That anyone would even consider spending taxpayer money to lock up a 16 year old for his own picture shows a colossal failure of government on every level Legislative, judicial, and executive. The DA stacked 5 charges and saddled them with up to a decade so the kids would be afraid to even go to court. In any sane judicial system that case would be laughed out of the courtroom and it's telling that they were presumably advised by a lawyer to take the plea bargain.
That's not what I'm saying. Apple is required by law to report images if they have "actual knowledge" of CSAM. Courts aren't too kind about superficial technicalities like "that output label wasn't trained" when Apple is doing on-device ML classification of pictures to identify content. By proactively scanning for selective hashes they can say they're doing something without being required to report a less-accurate ML output.

That's also why this only applies if connected to iCloud; otherwise they don't have "knowledge" of it.
Valve missed an opportunity to implement (again) the dual boot partition concept that worked so well for CoreOS, before Redhat bought them and "discontinued" the very good idea. Deploying a complete and coherent and well tested base layer that has built-in fallback, and then deploying games as signed containers would have been a robust system. Instead they picked yet another upgrade complexity mess.

You are referring to great features, but Arch just uses the same upstream packages as everyone else and in a more vanilla form, so it seems like it's about user customization.

If so, why is this the distribution's fault? The installation is a bit cumbersome but other than that you do not need to do much.

I personally keep my configuration small and tidy, following a "bang for the buck" approach and have not faced any issues. Perhaps my usage patterns are just simpler, but even Steam works fine.

The AG bringing felony charges isn't far-fetched its ridiculous. Does anyone think a trillion dollar company with a giant legal staff hasn't vetted this in a hundred different ways? They are probably going country by country to validate legality. It will not be implemented anywhere they don't find that it is 100% legal.
I've always felt the same, so I recently made an interactive mock-up of such an IDE feature: https://emilprogviz.com/expand-calls/?inline,substitution
Not mobile friendly, best seen on desktop. To inline a function call, either click the "+" icon, or go up/down with the keyboard and press spacebar when the caret is on that line.

(There's also a video where I explain the reasoning behind the mock-up, but I guess the motivation is already blatantly obvious to most readers of the above discussion, so feel free to skip the first chapters: https://youtu.be/wdf6S6oumH8 )

Then I learned that the Smalltalk editor Pharo has a similar feature! Seems many people have the same idea. Today's major IDE makers should have copied this feature already!

The decision of Apple is bad for the simple fact that it assuming that everybody is suspected to be guilty until you have been scanned, inspected and proven clean. Until now you would have to be under an investigation for your data to be monitored/inspected. But now everybody is a suspect and has to be under scrutiny, this is really bad and will lead to abuse of the system in the future.

I think the key conceptual thing that's difficult to grasp is the propellor's interaction with the wind.

Forgetting the speed of the car vs the wind for a moment, the propellor is arranged so it is trying to push air into the wind (i.e. it is propelling the craft). So, whatever force the wind might impart on a simple flat disc of similar radius to the prop, the force the prop actually experiences is higher than that because it is pushing against the wind.

For me, this realisation that the prop is pushing against the wind, increasing the overall force, unlocked understanding how this craft is possible.
For whoever thinks they are fine and have nothing to hide, think about the clock cycles that the scanner consumes on your phone’s cpu slowing it down and draining the battery if it scans when not plugged in.
Second, this will classify and extract metadata from your own private photos, receipts, photo of your router’s password on it and so on. This is not only a privacy concern but abusive move from Apple. Windows does all kindof of shady things under the telemetry pretext, now Apple’s doing this. What I hope is more smartphone opensource options.

> I don't think I've ever heard an argument that defines individual action in the way you do. [...] Even the actions that are reasonable – "give up air travel" – only become significant in aggregate.

One person making a change has never been a reasonable solution for global climate change; advocating for individual action has always meant making changes in the aggregate behaviour of individuals.

> But "I now work from home because my company told me to because the tax on the office/parking increased to push a shift in behavior" is absolutely not an individual choice.

Correct, it is not an individual choice. It is an individual action.

alot of people while maybe stating support for the notion of human equality would nonetheless have problems assigning the same amount of resources to everyone.

after all, that would pretty much screw your lovely market
It’s really not that complicated - wind speed is not the same as energy. The propellor is a device that pushes against the air to move forward, it takes energy from the wind, produces a force, and the force produces momentum in the vehicle. We know that a stationary turbine can continually take power from the wind. When that wind energy is stored in a battery it can power your car much faster than the wind. This just takes a shorter route and stores the energy in momentum.

See sailboats faster than wind

https://www.kqed.org/science/8503/how-do-these-boats-sail-fa...

> The America’s Cup sailboats are sleek and fast. The AC72, the type of catamaran used in this year’s race, can travel almost three times the speed of the prevailing wind. On June 18th Emirates Team New Zealand recorded a speed of 50.8 mph (44.1 knots), with a wind speed of about 18 mph (15.6 knots).

When sailing directly in line with the wind, the apparent wind in a sail is equal to the actual wind, so there’s no gain. A propellor reshapes the direction of the apparent wind to be in the same direction of the wind.

More interesting is that blackbird can go 2 times as fast as the wind running directly_into_ the wind. That ought to help understand how this is possible.
It's difficult to judge speech even by contemporary standards. There tend to be high bars for bad speech, clearly harmful, E.G. fire in a crowd when there isn't fire.

How easy is it to prove something is a lie, rather than a very selective viewpoint or opinion? What if someone chooses to believe a set of sources biased to their preferred outcome?

We should also be lucky to encounter and hopefully have laws against hate speech; the slippery slope stuff that's subjectively icky but not quite across that line is more insidious.

I think that so long as there is an argument for arresting people that possess child pornography that the negatives will outweigh the positives in the eyes of the people in charge. Preventing child abuse was more important than everyone's complete privacy in Apple's opinion. Maybe it was because one is directly related to the outcome of a human life and the other is a nebulous construct to most people except those in the technology sphere. But those were ultimately Apple's (or the government's) values in this case.

I don't think that the phrase "giving up some amount of privacy to stop child abusers" will sound unreasonable to enough other people that don't really understand privacy. The damage to Apple's brand seems to be coming mostly from technologists and the privacy-conscious. Even if only a handful of people are justifiably arrested because of this change, making the tradeoffs not worth it in their eyes, there are still many other people who would believe that catching even a few more child abusers was the right thing to do.

Reducing the reasoning to "but think of the children" ignores the fact that there are still reasons that CSAM is declared illegal. It seems that most people on these threads are focusing on the fact that this is a privacy disaster - which is absolutely is - but until there is a viable argument that on-device privacy is more important to the general public than shutting down a market that actively produces evidence of child abuse, I'm pessimistic that this will be walked back.

What is needed are studies correlating the spread of CSAM with actual CSA, but they do not exist. At this point it seems to be taken for a fact. The taboo around the subject appears to have disincentivized the creation of such studies.

I was reminded of this post by a bullet point in the "Constexpr is a Platform" post:

And the reverse is equally true. What's your point?

If you put in $50K, and it gained 10% your account would now have $55K. If you withdraw $2K, you could be taxed on the 10% profit on that $2K, so $200. So if your tax rate is 25%, you'd pay $50 in taxes because of that 2K withdraw.

This sentiment gets repeated all the time and it drives me crazy.

I've read a lot of stuff by RMS and am certainly aware of his concerns.

I have an iPhone and Mac so I guess you would consider that I "ignored" him. This is a ridiculous conclusion. I considered the risks and trade-offs of non-FOSS software, and regrettably accepted them, because the FOSS alternatives had trade-offs that cumulatively (for me) were much worse. Unlike RMS, I am not a one-dimensional person that only evaluates tech on the single dimension of freedom. Tech is not a religion for me; it's just a tool.

RMS pontificating about FOSS does not magically bring iPhone comparable FOSS software and hardware into existence. If the FOSS community wants consumer adoption, ratio of pontificating about to building consumer products needs to be much lower.
Some thoughts on new top-level domains being used for spam
The fear is understandable, as mailmen don't open and digitize your correspondence. It's a new risk, however small, that you have to consider.
It is pointless finger-pointing.

It is not all or nothing, and we are past several points of no-return. All of the countries need to act 10 years ago, 'but Bobby is peeing in the pool more than I do' is not going to cut it. It is stupid, misleading, and counter-productive.
I hopped around distros, starting with Ubuntu/Kubuntu, and then I switched to Manjaro (my first rolling release) because I was sick of ppas for newer software. Manjaro broke frequently, however. Finally found my home on openSUSE Tumbleweed. It's great because I have tons of new packages, but honestly it's never broken once for me (and if it did, btrfs snapshots would let me quickly revert).

I think that having SUSE behind it maybe helps the stability? But I have no concrete knowledge of the testing process that goes into Tumbleweeed.

How much of that is high quality video streaming? How much could be reduced by forbiddin resolutions over 1080p for example?
On a similar note I can recommend a key case. I have a model that is a leather pouch with a zipper and a small key chain inside (I think I tried one with hooks before but the hooks broke quickly). Much more comfortable than having keys in my pocket. No more holes either.

Simple “captchas” can help.

I had such a service for a while. The only two issues I ran into was:

- Getting the physical mail out of them was hard. In theory they kept main for some number of days if I needed it physical for some random reason, but the two times I needed to have them forward me some important document, it had already been shredded. All in all, this was a minor edge case really.

- One company, All State, could not for the life of them realize that I did not live in some PO Box in a different state. They kept changing my rates to the state of the service, and I had a confusing call with a CSR each time where I tried to explain my mailing address and my residential addresses were unrelated. All State was the only company I ever encountered with this issue, everyone else that needed my home address had no trouble with this concept. I solved this by ditching All State.

I only stopped using them because they got bought out and only kept business accounts. I should look for a replacement company, it was very useful.
Re the first statement, that’s complete horseshit. Celebrity culture is all about being part of a cult following and finding like-minded people. Any correlation to objective fact or basis in reality is purely coincidental, and has no bearing on the quality of the person or the content of the movement being followed.

I totally get that you value Gig Hadid’s opinion on wardrobe whereas I don’t, nor do I judge, to each his/her own. But, to claim that her opinion is more accurate/better/truthful to that of a respected fashion designer or industry expert is inherently flawed. Wearing clothes is not the same as designing them.
I've seen a bunch of people share their AI art generators, so I figured I'd get in on the action and share mine. This is based on the notebooks written by AI artists like advadnoun and Katherine Crowson. The difference between those and this is:

- Friendlier UI/UX: I used colab forms and IPython widgets to make it easy to use if you don't know how to program. For example, instead of having people fiddle with sampling vs pooling methods, you can just select "default" or "cumin" flavors.

- Simplified inputs: I stripped out a lot of the power from "artist-oriented" notebooks to make it less scary to first timers. You can still edit the code directly to get the same power, but all that's hidden away.

- "Download all images" and "create a video" buttons for funsies.

People have also been posting commercial AI offerings, like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28070149. The differences with this are:

- Totally free. This is running off Google's free Colab offering. You just need a Google account.

- No wait times. Colab gives a separate GPU to each user, so there's no queueing or anything.

- A bit more power: if Colab assigns you a large instance (most people are getting large instances, unless you use it for a very long time), you can make images up to 700x700.

- Codes all available if you want to clone it, make your own version, or download it to run locally.

Also happy to answer any questions people have about AI art in general. I only fell down the rabbit hole last month, and it's a deep rabbit hole, so I can't promise much, but I really like talking about this stuff and sharing what I've learned. Enjoy!
