Is "ban on misinformation" really the right term? Because it seems that "hateful" misinformation gets banned (although the article doesn't even call it misinformation, just "hateful content"), while inclusive misinformation is allowed.

Now you could argue that censorship is only warranted on "high-stakes issues that could lead to real world harm", as the article puts it, but in this case they are two sides of the same issue, where only one gets held to the standard of truthfulness.

That's not a ban on misinformation. That's a ban on misinformation that opposes the censor's politics, while you can lie and mislead with impunity in support of those politics.

And while this is anecdotal evidence, but in practice, "hateful content" often gets banned on youtube even if it's true and with little added opinion (E.g "Look at these events that no-one is disputing happened" and not "I hate minority group X"), and the warning sent by youtube doesn't even allege misinformation, only "hate".

>Because exceptions are a fundamental control-flow mechanism in Python (unlike in C++, where they should only be used for exceptional control flow), I'm not sure if there will be a net benefit to "zero cost" exceptions.

Well, they might be "a fundamental control-flow mechanism" but for every StopIteration (for an example of a control flow exception use), there are multiple (up to millions) of traversed elements that didn't throw an exception.

I googled for relevant tests and found colorlitelens.com.

They may not be trustworthy as they are selling something.

However, I took some of the tests (I've never been diagnosed with color blindness by a medical professional) and the results were interesting.

The first couple of tests show a partial ring in a different background, like a rotated "C" and ask you to click on the gap as the contrast gets fainter.

The red-green gap test was easy for me, and I got 100%.

The "Tritan (Blue)" test which might be the relevant one to what you are talking about, was difficult, and it said I was "severely" deficient.

However, after you take that test, it shows two spectrums and says if you are color blind in this sense they should look the same. They look very different to me, no question.

So then I looked further and saw there is another test for the same type of deficiency, which is called the "mosaic" test, I think, where there is a small square made up of a few "tiles" that is a different color and you have to click on it. This one I got mostly right, and it ended up saying I was "slightly" deficient.

It occurs to me, that with LED lights everywhere, and the LED screens on phones, the color deficiency in online tests could be coming from a compromised spectrum of light, not from one's eyesight.

I don't quite understand how disagreeing about what to call colors on the spectrum from blue to green can be a deficiency. A rose by any other name... If you can differentiate between colors that are more blue and ones that are more green, then what significance is a label?

As I say, lighting is important not to overlook.

My first car was basically turquoise, and I tended to think of it as blue or blue-green. Other people did call it green, but for me, there was nuance due to seeing it under many different settings. Under sodium lights, it would look quite blue and not green, and unpleasant to my eye. Under indirect sunlight, it would be blue-green and jewel like.

For reference, while it was a Honda color from many years ago that isn't easy to find good pictures of now, pictures from a GIS for "bmw atlantis blue" show cars that look like exactly the same color to me.

On the other hand "porsche lizard green" does not look blue to me in the least.

"Jade green" seems to me predictably a blue-green color that is greener than turquoise, but still perceptibly bluish.

Colors called "chartreuse" generally look to me like green with a hint of yellow.
That's 50 MW going into the plasma. But they have to draw 440MW from the grid to deliver this power to dump those 50 MW into the plasma (lasers are extremely wasteful).

Also note, the 500MW are the power of the plasma - in the best case scenario, maybe 50% of that could be converted into electrical energy, the rest will be lost as heat.

So grid-to-grid, they will be taking out 440MW of power and putting back in 250MW. Except that is useless, so they didn't even bother with a turbine the full 500MW of plasma power will have to be vented as heat in ITER itself (DEMO will take over, and aims to deliver net power generation ~20 years after ITER is successful).

>> Is it harder to pass a "raise debt limit" motion than it is to pass the budget?

Ordinarily, NO, as this is passed in the normal course of business - this merely authorizes the issuance of debt instruments to finance the spending that was previously authorized.

But, now the answer is YES, when one party has decided to exploit this legal quirk separating the spending from the issuance of debt to execute a DOS attack on the other party currently in power.

>>Did people who pass the budget a few months ago get buyer's remorse?

Yes, since they are no longer in the driver's seat, they want to execute a DOS on the other party now in the driver's seat, and they don't care if it crashes the country or global economy, as they think they won't be blamed and the other party will.

It really is as simple as that, putting party over country.

I'm pretty allergic to Smart Home sort of stuff, but I've wondered if it makes sense to get a bunch of lights I program to be "Bright and sunlike" during the day and "dim and reddish" at night for my home.

It seems like this might be a passive way to add in some of the benefits of "morning walk in the sun" and "avoiding screens at night", and one that might be more robust to winter. Obviously the lifestyle improvements stemming from going for a walk and not doomscrolling twitter go beyond the light hitting you.
It is the subject of the article.

My best faith reading of the original comment was that it decries the arbitrary nature of platinum - if we are calling it a $trillion, why not make it out of anything?

But the debt ceiling is itself a legal construction. People call it a "loophole" because of episodes of The Simpsons or whatever but the Treasury is explicitly given permission to issue coins of arbitrary value. The debt ceiling is itself a legal construction.

Time for a downgrade
> The solution is straightforward: Companies that deploy personalized algorithmic amplification should be liable for the content these algorithms promote.

I just did a search for the word mob at Google and got 2.5B results. An algorithm has to decide which 50 are going to be displayed first. That may or may not be personalized. For example if I previously search for Al Capone, this search for mob could use that to filter the 2.5B results. If Google does that, does it become liable for all the results it displays? Is it really "promoting" something here, or just trying to satisfy my search with the most relevant results? It seems a very difficult distinction to make.

I've never used Facebook and think it's a waste of time. But if they do decide to regulate it, I don't see much difference between the radicalism that gets promoted on Facebook and that on every news program on TV (which I no longer watch), or the radicalism promoted by politicians (which I no longer vote for).

I think this is primarily aimed at analytics and data modelling SQL, the type of SQL in dbt [], though I'd be happily corrected by the team.

As far as I understand, this has been quite a long time coming, and is far from trivial due to the diversity of SQL dialect.

My use case would be to have this attached to a dbt project that ensures the dbt SQL files all confirm to a passable degree of consistency when working across a team. Especially as a CICD automated bot action thing on github.

> Why is it limited to a “who”?

"Who" implies a human. The topic is human rights. I'm not sure I follow what this particular question is trying to get at.

> Why is it linked to sex or gender?

Pro answer: It isn't. We've known this since prehistoric times.

Con answer: Because only a man and a woman can create a new human life on their own.

> Is this a singular love or is polygamy a human right?

Age differences would have made for a better example here. But my answer would be that this question is that it frankly doesn't matter for my example. I.e., one does not need to answer the question of "how many people should we allow someone to marry" to answer the question of "should people be allowed to marry someone with the same genitals as themselves". Indeed, our global reality reflects that.

> What’s the fundamental human right?

What I previously stated: "loving who you want without regard to sex or gender". Notice that it does not say "without regard to singular vs plural love" or "without regard to reciprocation" or anything else.

> Shouldn’t we be worried that these so-called human rights are being newly discovered relatively recently?

That's... how it works.

We (or at least Western society) don't enshrine rights into laws and constitutions until we realize something we ought to be allowed to do freely is being unduly infringed upon. That's a process that doesn't stop.

We should be worried when we stop "discovering" new rights, not the other way around. Humanity has yet to produce a generation that "has it all figured out" with respect to fundamental rights, and there is no reason to assume we ever will.

iBooks wasn’t replacing a previous offering, and I don’t think it was abjectly terrible, just limited.

iMovie is a better example but I still think it was a decent update for the software’s target audience. And they offered everyone the older version for free! An even better example might be Final Cut X, which I actually think was a great product but for a very different audience for FCX.

The through-line is that these products were good products-they did something well and without bugs—but they weren’t targeted correctly, ignoring the needs of an existing customer base with (completely reasonable) expectations. That’s different in kind from something like iOS 13.
It only appears unsolvable because you've presumed that social media should exist in its current form. Yes, algorithms can't match the scale of the bad content before we hit AGI. But that problem only exists because we have for-profit companies hosting way more content than they can afford to police on the thin margins ads provide. (Twitter, for example, makes about $1 per user per month.)

Prior to the late 2000s, this problem didn't exist. In alternate universes, it surely doesn't; there are many ways this could have gone.

I am not that surprised.

He kept going on and on about taxing "tech" to fund UBI. And it would work out and it would be like Alaska with their oil fund thing.

But, when you get down to it, what is "tech"? How is it different from just anything? We use the word "tech" to essentially describe any business that is based primarily on software. Where software is a major focus.

Because, like chemicals, technology is literally everything. The wheel is technology. A car is technology. "Tech" isn't an industry, it's a catch-all term for businesses we don't want to define.

So how do you define Google as "tech" in a way that doesn't include other advertising companies or other companies that run their business with software (which is pretty much all of them now)?

So with that and everything else I've learned about him, he really seemed like someone who was very articulate, but ultimately empty.

His big thing was "MATH" but what he really needed was "ENGLISH".

Sony Has Begun Accelerating Their Contributions to Open-Source / Linux
Today I learned that being a human with actual psychology and living in the modern world is "artificial complexity" and that if I would just stop that all of my problems would have simple (but no easier) solutions.

Every normal human understands that "how do I lose weight?" has an implied "while being a normal human with impulses, desires, limited time and willpower, who also has many other goals they are trying to simultaneously satisfy". That problem is fundamentally complex and literally shaming people ("then you have no one to blame for failure but yourself") for being a human in society is counterproductive and harmful.

Practically every overweight or underfinanced person in the world already has a rich fount of shame for those attributes because society keeps telling them it's their fault and that shame is a source of complexity when it comes to solving the problem.
From the article:

> In a resolution adopted overwhelmingly in favor, MEPs also asked for a ban on private facial recognition databases, like the ones used by the controversial company Clearview AI
Remember, though: QM is wrong. Relativity also depends on continuous spaces, but it is also wrong. All the theories in physics that depend on continuous space are also wrong.

By "wrong", I mean, we know they can't predict everything correctly. QM itself can't derive relativity. Relativity doesn't have QM in it, and break down at extremes like black holes. They're both very, very, very accurate in their domains, but physics knows that neither theory has the domain of "the entire universe". This is not a wild claim by an HN commenter, this is consensus in the physics world, just perhaps not phrased in the way you're used to.

It's possible the eventual Grand Unified Theory will still have continuous space at its bottom, but it's also entirely possible it won't. Loop quantum gravity doesn't. And personally I expect some sort of new hybrid between continuous and discrete based on physics history; whenever in the past we've had a similar situation where it couldn't be X for this reason, but it couldn't be the obvious Not-X for some other reason, it has turned out to be something that had a bit of both in them, but wasn't either of them.

Well for starter it saves the state of the maps.

You never build anything too crazy in real life, because it requires a lot of setup during and between games. It's just not worth it.

In digital form, you can afford to prepare big 3d maps outside of the game, and you can even share the environment you've created with other people outside your game so that they use it in their own game.

After playing for a couple of sessions though, I don't think having huge maps is worth it (yet?). Just a map of the building you're in, in 3D is good enough and makes it easy for the players to imagine a city or town around and not lose track of where everyone is.

> generate effectively unlimited amounts of energy

I don't understand where this concept is coming from. The best ever fusion power experiments so far have not even produced 1 miliwatt net electrical power. ITER, if it succeeds in its 30 year timeline, will not be even close to engineering breakeven (net power generation) - they estimate 0.57 output power/input power ratio - with DEMO hoping to break even 20 years later.

Why is there this bizarre idea that we'll jump from <massive effort to get even one miliwatt> to <unlimited power> with fusion?
