I agree. I find that people can't help themselves but think in clichés, labels and phrases. What is actually happening is 2nd to the preconceived notion of what is supposed to happen. Everyone is projecting his inner psyche into an interpretation of the world that makes them feel at ease and morally righteous.
Interactive rebases are my favorite git feature. I get to pick, drop, reorder, reword, fixup, squash, split and of course rebase commits. Pretty much everything I need to create a nice history before pushing.
> I'm just tired of the mobile OSes restrictions...

I totally agree with this, even on KaiOS, now with the 3.0 version of the OS and the new firmware that pushes on some devices, they lock the devices so no way to sideload even using the webIDE. It's just their way to push even more f ads on the devices. Keep in mind that the OS on Linux phones is a bit slow - there are some videos on YT, one is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCKMxzz9cjs - (UBports seems the most fluid there) I was ready to get the Pinephone, but I think it's better for me to get some older device that is supported by eg LineageOS.

The statement is qualified ("most works of art"). Non-recorded performance art is indeed a form of art, but, IMO, it does not comprise "most works of art". I should probably have further qualified the statement to works memorialised in a tangible medium. Programming usually implies "code" that is recorded to a tangible medium. It is usually expected that the "code" may be looked at again after it is recorded.
Yes, I never said that the power consumption calculations were wrong. The paper wasn't about power consumption, but CO2 emissions leading to global warming. She compared the power consumption of model training to jet fuel exhaust and used jet fuel exhaust to tie the power consumption to CO2 emissions. Of course, she didn't mention that Google is carbon neutral and its data centers are primarily powered by green energy. I have not seen a more dishonest paper in CS.

Electricity from the grid can come from green sources, and in the particular case if Google, it actually does. Comparing electricity consumption for a one time training with jet fuel usage is absurd.

Moreover, the paper doesn't mention any possible benefit of building such nlp models. Increased accessibility of web content across languages and for disabled people.

Google, simply through its search, maps and navigation saves a lot of wasted carbon. Complaining about the power consumption of ML models is absolutely ridiculous.

Her paper reeked of desperation to find something, anything within the AI space that could be posted as an ethical dilemma.

Reading that paper convinced me that Timnit could bring absolutely no value to AI as a field, in terms of ethics or otherwise.
Go for a non-capitalist org. The very idea of profits over anything else is what drove Google, Facebook, Twitter and friends to where they are.
It's amazing that when you consider most tech companies based their entire perks strategy off the back of free food, beers, playgrounds, sleeping pods etc all in the name of keeping workings in the build at all times a la Facebook and Google.

A little like the casinos tricks where you will never see a clock or the time inside one. There's a slight tilt on all pavements in Las Vegas that slowly push you towards the building, all without you knowing that it's happening.

I have no idea why you are being downvoted... perhaps FB zealots fear the truth.

Regulation is exactly what large corporations want. Regulation prevents competition from ever getting started.

What's an extra £30 million a year for regulatory compliance to someone like FB, or Google, or any billion dollar corp? It's literally zero. Nothing at all. The (insignificant) cost of doing business.

For a startup? It's certain death right at the idea stage...

I would put money on FB actually helping government draft regulations _against_ FB themselves knowing that they won't be financially affected by them and that they will help kill any potential competition from ever getting started.

Was wondering how it works and found :

"According to Tesla, each follow distance setting corresponds directly to a time-based distance representing the time it takes the Model 3 from its current location to the location for the car in front of the driver.

For cars manufactured after April 27, 2021, Tesla set a minimum follow distance of 3 or greater. But with the 2021.4.21.3 update, this number has been reduced to 2, bringing Autopilot ‘Pure Vision’ close to parity with its previous radar-based counterpart."

Note they say time based and not second so 2 might be something like a second.

Android and Chrome can get a lot of money from search companies to be the default search option. Currently Google is paying nothing for that, maybe another search company would emerge.
Yes, but you can't effectively use them unless you run them through Google Ad Manager, which gives Google special privileges/rights for their own ad inventory versus the competitor. For example, Google gets to look at the ad impression before anyone else, Google is required to win all tie-breakers, etc.

This is very impressive. However - is there not a problem of scale? As you scale, surface area is squared, but mass is cubed. I mean, ok, you could have a lighter central fuselage, but then how effective can this be in carrying passengers or cargo?
Joe Rogan seemed to have exploited this concept to great success. He does not seem to have any more than very superficial or anecdotal knowledge about most topics, just vaguely remembers some bits. Always needs to have things explained from the very start and listens with an open mouth. In the and he is always amazed by what he has learned. Might be common in interview settings but seems to be extraordinarily effective for these long-form podcasts. I remember he got called out for being actually very smart by Jordan Peterson once.
> So the question about this accident is: how obvious is it for the driver what is going on and what assistance to expect.

- you have to deliberately turn the full assistance on/off

- there are audio cues when it turns on, and whilst it’s on, and when it turns off

- the visuals on the screen are different when it’s on vs. off

- the steering wheel feels very different when it’s on

- when it’s on, there are regular cues to generate torque through the wheel to show you’re paying attention

- the overall concept is that even when it’s on, you should keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention - though this is obviously subject to human failings

TBF, I’ve done something similar once or twice —-only turned on cruise control when I thought I’d turned on full assist—- but if you’ve got your hands on the wheel it’s pretty natural and quick to correct and then realise your mistake.

To be fair, if all politicians were always morally rooted in the center of the law, nothing would ever change. No marijuana, no gay marriage.

Or more appropriate: There’s a certain overlap of laws (and constitutional rights) that blur the edge of law (here: pursuit of happiness for the judge’s vs. corruption of justice).
That's not how economics of scale work. This is zero sum thinking.

Google buying green electricity makes green electricity cheaper, not more expensive. More producers are incentivized to produce green electricity as Google's demand increases continuously. Other companies like Microsoft and Facebook go green as well, and the economies of scale kick in. Prices start collapsing. This is actually happening right now.

If I go solar today with my home, it is not a negative action that displaces someone else. It actually expands the solar industry and enables cheaper solar in the future.

Without early customers, green energy would never have taken off.

I think it's really hard to say where the weight lies politically here. Comment favouring one view inevitably prompts responses favouring the converse view, so they catalyse each other.

You only have access to non-Google bids, which makes it impossible to have enough information to know if the auction is unfair. Google is the final arbiter of what ad gets shown, Google does not disclose its own bid if it's the winner, and you have to trust Google that it did not improperly advantage itself in the auction (which the complaint reveals that it did in fact advantage itself).

I fell in love with Erlang. I always prefer languages where the syntax is very simple because you don't need to know that much when reading the code.

In fact, Erlang was so simple I was able to read it before I even knew what it was. I learned it by digging into the RabbitMQ source code.

Pattern matching with function branching and case really changed the way I develop in every language. Just have a linear instruction flow, no more multiple returns, no more if/else, just read the code and when you're at the end of the function, you know what it returns.

Then, I fell in love with Elixir. The only language where macros aren't just C's #define to replace text. You're working directly with the AST, and that's just obvious to me now it should be done like that. Mix is also a game changer for the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem, it's so easy to build/release/deploy with Mix. I remember having some difficulties getting erlang.mk or rebar to work correctly, but with Mix it was instantly working. Also config/runtime.exs, I love you.

The OTP framework let's you structure your code the same way you conceptualize it in your head: "I have this part that talks to this part, and they need to know what this part is doing" translates to "I have a module that send messages to this GenServer, and they both monitor this process".

I can't understand why those languages aren't more known/hyped/adopted/... It's a shame.
Not just Google. The entire adtech, social media, and personal data surveillance industry.

The fact that there is a learning effect doesn't mean it's good to consume more electricity. If you want to argue positive sum, you would need to show a the consumed green electricity displaces more than the equivalent amount of fossil electricity plus co2 fp of measures used to handle variability of renewables vs nearly flat demand from data centers. Which seems hard.

It's almost like there is nothing special about Microsoft. The thing Google and Microsoft have in common is they are large organisations of humans.

So maybe the answer is to work for yourself or a small organisation.
Yeah this pretty much sums up the the corporate playbook. Build a regulatory moat which makes it impossible for startups to compete... Use the government to reframe honest entrepreneurs as criminals (who are in breach of regulations) in order to protect corporate interests.

These days you can't take a crap without a license...
I wish there were more information about how they were able to "decrypt" the data. I put that in quotes because often times journalists or laypeople don't differentiate between a file format that is just compressed or obfuscated in some way, and true encryption.

After all, it would be trivial for Tesla to provide essentially unbreakable encryption: just encode all the stored data with a public key where only Tesla has the corresponding private key. But if NFI was able to decrypt, they obviously don't do that, so I'm curious what manner of "encryption" is used in the car.

> Singapore has low income taxes but high CPF (forced savings for retirement, health, housing, etc) requirements - 20% of gross income on top income taxes. The total take isn’t that low.

Which, compared to western states, isn't taken away from you. It's your own private pool of money, just with a restricted use.
The government is just aware, people are not great at saving for their future, so they have to be forced to do it properly.

Housing is not really subsidised, it's just build and sold without markup. Singapore's healthcare is also one of the "cheapest" and most efficient in the world.
The article seems to be behind a paywall (on my phone, did not try how to get around it). The introduction does not look promising. In Finland trees are not cut selectively, whole areas get cut, nothing left.

Public awareness to change the forest industry or even wider economy into a more sustainable direction just does not exist. There are only 5 millions Finns, but the ecological footprint of each of them is huge. The general narrative is that Finland has clean nature. Yes, there is more nature per capita in many other countries, but it's being destroyed with ever increasing speed. I have never heard of any project like the headline hints to. I don't doubt it exists, but I doubt it has nationwide impact. The desire for change is just not there.

I'm not talking about being able to sniff packets but being able to to (1) understand what they are used for, (2) block them all on the same machine reliably, that is, including all communication to/from MS servers. In other words, being able to control the system I own or not.
Yeah, static analysis will never be enough, you'll need to parse the code and evaluate it in a sandbox to find evil functions.

I misspoke when I said "more". I meant to say "new" or "novel" in that sentence.

I reacted in such a way because I interpreted your initial response to be a "let me google that for you" flavor of borderline sarcasm, as if the question I was asking had an obvious answer and was clearly settled, when the articles you shared don't answer the question I was asking. My initial read on your sarcastic intention was confirmed when you accused me of repeating a "citations please" trope. So if you're going to take such a sarcastic approach, then I am not going to pretty up my language when you share news articles that do not address the question I'm asking.

"when you’ve got experts and studies ... claiming otherwise"

Who claims otherwise? I'm still waiting for that. The articles you shared showed that there will be new cold snaps, not that the overall frequency of cold snaps will increase. These are related but very distinct questions, given that mean temperature rise is an offsetting factor that may or may not dwarf the mechanism being described.

"there’s a whole lot more people who might die in Houston"

These are all fair points that need to be fleshed out. The mere question of whether there will be more cold snaps (however that's measured and defined) doesn't necessarily entail much insofar as deaths from cold goes. But I do want to see that question answered as a starting point.
It's time to repeal the First Amendment. It's probably time to repeal the entire Bill of Rights, and replace it with a framework that allows the government to restrict the exercise of rights when and as much as required to protect public safety or the mechanism of democracy.

All functioning democracies (which the USA is not) have such a framework in place. In Canada it's famously called the Notwithstanding Clause.

Well, maybe not all. We can keep the Third Amendment as a souvenir.
