Is it though? A creature living in a 4 dimensional world might argue that an AI that was brought up in a 3d world would never truly grasp 4 dimensions. This could be true. So why wouldn't it hold for other aspects where the model is incomplete?
The authentication you’re talking about is called STIR/SHAKEN and it’s an ongoing retrofit. I will describe the status quo based on my brief time in a business VoIP form.

The concept of a “phone line” with a fixed number belongs to residential service. Pretty much any business premise has a PBX on it, and that PBX is connected to the PSTN by a bundle of circuits including some voice channels and some signaling channels. Some number of inbound numbers may be routed there. Or not! But that has nothing to do with the signaling on outbound calls.

Now for a small business it would probably be sensible to limit outgoing caller IDs to the inbound numbers routed there. In a larger business, PBXes at different sites are connected to each other by an enterprise network, and to the PSTN through different telecoms in different regions. You may have branch offices that only receive calls via the enterprise network, but make outbound calls on local transit. You may route a call from elsewhere on the enterprise network to exit to the PSTN via that branch office, for cost or redundancy reasons. That’s how Twilio itself works. Lots of IT departments have internal Twilios, in that sense.

The upshot is that you need a fairly sophisticated cross-telecom standard for establishing authorization to present a number on caller ID, and no one got around to building or driving adoption of that until pretty recently.
The FSF openly endorses devices with hundreds of kilobytes of nonfree blobs burned into ROM. They do this because they claim they can just "say it's equivalent to hardware". They only care about blobs when they're loaded from software, because at that point their existence becomes apparent, even though naturally a blob loaded into RAM gives the user more freedom (e.g. to inspect it or change it) than a blob loaded from ROM.

> No, I wouldn't. I would have to prove, for example, that someone started smoking after getting human papillomavirus and that there was a mechanism plausibly linking the infection with the craving for cigarettes

Thar wouldn't prove cancer causes smoking (or prove anything), but it would suggest the potential of a common cause between cancer and smoking.
I am sorry to wake you up, but the existence of Google revenue is based on what it knows about you. Of course they don’t sell your data, because they are big enough to use that data all by themselves, giving them competitive advantage.

You praise them that everything works when you pay for Google, but that is every evil companys dream; make user hostile anti-patterns for free users and get them happy paying customers. The whole Youtube in these days is one the worst websites in the web, because of the systematic addition of user-hostile features for free users. Do you really want to support service like that?

What it comes to FF, there are no really other options to get some revenue from the browser. At least they are now trying with the VPN.
Guix is dedicated to ensuring user freedom. It doesn't provide non-free software so that users can make informed choices: they might choose to use third-party channels that provide non-free packages, or install non-free software via flatpak or some other tool, but they can trust Guix itself will never provide non-free software.

Part of allowing for informed choices is about raising awareness, for instance by explaining why some WiFi devices won't work out of the box (which is really the only practical issue one might stumble upon):

I really like the design of `guix time-machine`. It's pretty cool how it just reuses the existing syntax for other subcommands, instead of modifying them.

"we are all fucked" seems like a rather exaggerated conclusion. It's like you're excluding how many people there are who are not bothered even when it hits them personally.
Nobody is hitting the same range / power / price points as Tesla yet, but they are creeping up on it. Next gen model y may put them ahead some more though.
This works with Windows too.

I had an old Mac that for some reason couldn’t boot the Windows DVD, but installing it onto a VM that used the real HDD worked fine.
yeah i suppose you're right, point still stands. having to chop up all the kernel tables to run little mini systems just to deploy software correctly, along with choosing from a whole host of bolt on capabilities systems and sandboxing technologies makes it seem like the services provided by base unix for modern computing are looking a bit long in the tooth.
I watched the 3 hour cross-examination of Rittenhouse, and by the end of it, I can 100% see why the jury decided to acquit him.

This isn't a new take - everybody who watched the cross-examination is saying the same thing - but they botched their job. The defense strategy seemed to hinge on the prosecution letting themselves dig a hole, and letting Rittenhouse explain his reasoning (which was consistent, simple, and supported by the video evidence and witness testimony shown).

Things the prosecution did which really bungled it:

- Coming inches away from violating Rittenhouse's fifth amendment rights by questioning why he stayed silent before the trial. The judge reprimanded the prosecution for this.

- Pressing Rittenhouse on why he thought he could be at a protest, and implying he did not have a right or reason to be there (Rittenhouse has a right to peacefully protest)

- Probing into how much he played Call of Duty (he did not play much) and about his tiktok username, which turned out to be irrelevant to the case, and was just a _weird_ direction to explore

- Probing Rittenhouse's experience as a volunteer EMT-in-training, firefighter cadet, and life-guard service (he came out of this looking like a person who is motivated to genuinely help people)

- Making it clear to the jury that Rittenhouse never used his firearm to dissuade peaceful protestors

- Making it clear to the jury that Rittenhouse never used his firearm to protect property, and that he only used it when his life was in danger

It's a whole three hours, but it's worth the watch.
I like your project, I have been a fan of both Haskell and Factor, and happy to see somebody trying to unify their qualities. I like Haskell's type system and robust fundamentals, but I also like the effectively syntax-less nature of Factor, and the evaluation order being the same as read order.

I have a question: Why not base this project on Factor, which has a pretty decent existing implementation and compiler? (But few people use it..)

I think one could add better typing to Factor by creating a separate module for words (like docs and tests are now) which would describe the types of each word (and also other stipulations). Then these could be type checked separately.

As an aside, I always thought that it would be nice if a programming language could specify "stipulations", kinda like assertions but instead of having them inside word definitions (programs), have them outside (so that you could refer to them). For example, if something is a monad instance, the stipulation could specify that it has to follow monad laws. It would be then possible to automatically verify these stipulations (like QuickCheck does it, for example) or just assume they are true and use them for automated program deriving (or during compilation for optimization). A word annotated as having a certain type is just a special case of stipulation. Factor already has some stipulations like that in the form of additional word annotations (e.g. the word is free of side effects).
Oh yes, we don't want violence on the plane so just give everyone weapons

Beyond the obvious stuff like ongoing learning of new tech, and doing your best to stay healthy:

I’d focus on building a diverse age range in your professional network. You need younger people in your network to stay aware of technical and cultural changes, and you need older people in your network to better understand the challenges you’ll face later on.
Yeah, this article is more about the chained assignment syntax in Python which might not be on the radar for a lot of Python coders. There’s nothing particularly interesting about the self-reference. You can do the same thing with bog-standard idiomatic code: just make an empty list and append it to itself.
One would think this wouldn't be such difficult information for a L1 rep to tell you. sigh
If you don't need to make very many transactions then maybe the high fees on L1 aren't an issue anyway.
I think the main issue with the article is it has big wow-thanks-im-cured energy. Just do some of that low-activation exercise and cook for yourself, and whammo cheat code!

It comes across as patronizing for those who know what things can or should give a mood boost, but lack the activation energy, or don't get much benefit from the outcome.
I would have given almost anything to be there and work on this with them or sleepycat’s successor wired tiger.

So much fun to implement this stuff and see it provide so much value.
If you can't take 5 minutes to verify who is lending you money, you probably shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

> Just like a deed conveys ownership of a house at some address, the token conveys ownership of that media.

This is just a lie. The token doesn’t convey ownership of then media. There is no rough understanding by which this is true.

> I make it clear exactly what rights you and others have over the media, which is basically none.

Which you acknowledge here.

This isn’t a matter of exact details that aren’t important to a buyer.

If you tell someone that an NFT conveys ownership of the media, you are lying to them and participating in a con.

The fact that you later contradict that statement, doesn’t change the fact that you lied.
Now that this thread has fallen off the front page, and there are no more comments, we can see that you did not answer any commenters here. Either you never planned to do this, and just wanted to stir up trouble, or you were wrong about there being such comments, either from throwaways or not.

After going through the worst burnout of my life from 2018 to 2020, I have proof in my own life that diet and digestive issues are hugely correlated with cognition and mood.

Personally, I don't expect these kinds of studies to find a smoking gun. The chemical interactions between foods and the immune system are far too complex to be understood at this time. The immune system is the second most complex biological system after the brain. But we can still get clues. I highly recommend the everlywell comprehensive test (no affiliation) of 200+ foods, which I took that confirmed my suspicions about certain foods:

https://www.everlywell.com/products/food-sensitivity-compreh...

There's also a regular test of 100 foods for about half that price. And yes, these tests have their flaws, but can still inform us.

I've also been taking ashwagandha for a few months for ADHD symptoms (still undiagnosed, but I'll get to it, I swear!) after hearing good things about it online. I'm an INFP with 78% on intuition, so I'm somewhat cursed with knowing the solutions to problems before people finish explaining them to me. Which is great for programming, but debilitating when living in a sick society healing from recent events in these times. My "deficits" (should really be differences) are around dissociation because it's too easy for me to slip down interesting rabbit holes. Living and working in the malignant mundanity of The Matrix while knowing a better world is just beyond our reach due to dogma, takes everything I got, every single day.

Attempting to keep this brief, I believe that ashwagandha may desensitize the immune system to nightshades, which are pretty much all of the fun foods. I also suspect that it raises the proportion of good bacteria in our gut that live on roots. Humans evolved as scavengers eating icky things, but our surroundings and food are too sanitized today, so autoimmune issues and inflammation will eventually come to dominate our medical system.

Which was the plot of a 1990s sci fi series called Earth 2, where a billionaire's kid gets "the syndrome" from living in too sterile of an environment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_2_(TV_series)

So people have known about this stuff for a long time.

For anyone curious, the way I got out of burnout (severe anxiety, I learned) was by completely shutting down for a few months and taking care of the chores I had put off for years/decades. I had to relearn how to break overwhelming tasks down into simpler steps on my todo list and just do what I could each day, even if it was only one thing or getting out of bed. But more importantly, service. I let my ego finally die and gave myself over to helping others. That was the missing piece we don't hear about in a capitalistic/patriarchal "me" culture.

Kids are very bright, often just as capable as you and me (you remember) but forced to endure eons of slow growth before they are free. I think we'll find that most developmental "disorders" are clues as to what's wrong with our society, and that as we all heal and ascend, they'll begin to subside.
It's not "meh." I can't safely ignore that all my browsing and purchasing is being watched by a computer I supposedly own and control.

There are numerous open-access academic publishers or prepublication serviers, including PLOS, Arxiv, and others. Some of those (SSRN) have been bought by academic publishing monopolists (Elsevier), which have also bought some content management tools (Mandeley).

The problem going forward is in breaking the stranglehold over academic careers that prestige journals have, a key source of their power. In order to gain entry into or promotion through academic ranks, academics in many fields must publish in prestige journals, many owned by the monopoly cartel.

There's also the small matter of the 60+ million previously published academic articles, many under a copyright regime which would have seen them enter the public domain years or decades ago, which remain locked behind copyright prisons.

In short: your idea's not bad, it's actually being implemented. It remains difficult to implement because of structural reasons, and still only addresses a part of the problem.
Wouldn't people into these things be aware how fragile, clunky, or incomplete they are as solutions, and want to not always suggest them for every problem? Or be more critical than the average user, not less?

It feels like that people develop technology, and become totally surprised when 5-10 years down the road severe or significant issues happen that no one thought much about in the rush to get wealthy over it. You all on this site hate Facebook, but the potential for its abuses was always there and very few people seemed to think about it during a time when it might be possible to mitigate it.

Would you really want to risk this with finance? I think it's a fair question to be angry old men when you see what technology can do over long enough of a timeframe. Like even now people are sanguine about how the internet massively increased the attack vectors people could use on others to a national or world level, and empowered scams, malware, and more.

If you are serious about DeFi or other technologies, you HAVE to look beyond brrr money go up and le Fed bad. There's too much at stake.
"after I quit a miserable job"

I was there. He was my boss. It was miserable.
Many gay men feel that getting a professional job is the only way to live with a decent level of prosperity and safety. Straight men can take on manual labor, but jobs like construction and repair are so pervasively burdened with machismo and homophobia that working in those fields may be completely intolerable.
OK, so you're not being forced to use it which means you have the choice to ignore it so it's not required.
To your first point how many people in rich countries have that problem. Seems like reversibility that conventional banks offer is way more useful to most people.

This sounds like trying to enforce an identity label that not everyone agrees with.
That generational thing sounds a lot like IT's eternal flip-flop between thick clients and thin clients. (I'm fully expecting "web browsers are too thick, we need a thin alternative" to appear any day now). On the back-end, serverless is time-sharing.

Academia can be likened more to a clergy or priesthood than a job. Although academics are expected to publish, it's not like the results or output are as tangible or quantifiable compared to most jobs.
Another vote for Tim Roughgarden’s work. As someone who recently became a software engineer without a cs degree, his Stanford Algorithms I & II lectures (similar content to his books) have been the best instruction I’ve had on DS&A. I’ve dabbled with Skiena’s book, Grokking Algorithms, CTCI, and I now also have a copy CLRS that I use for reference or to go deeper on certain things. But I revisit Tim’s work all the time. Can’t recommend him enough.

I wonder how Apple keeps its sh$t together. I know they have made some mistakes in recent years that hurt Apple's reputation, but overall it's been successful at maintaining a positive brand image and consistent product attributes. Sometimes this has been through backing down on wrong decisions they made before (e.g., look at the new Macbooks and all their ports.)

I think last time Apple "pulled a Microsoft" was when Ive removed a bunch of really really useful stuff in MacBooks (e.g., the ports-gate). I can imagine some forces inside Apple went like "that's it, enough." I'm genuinely curious how management in Apple works and how it promotes ideas that are truly worth it.
The biggest issue is that people underestimate how incredibly niche cryptocurrencies actually are. They solve one single issue, the double spending problem on truly anonymous transactions. For the vast majority of people, this isn't a problem they have. Smart contracts extend this functionality in novel ways, but the problem is still that the applications are incredibly niche. It's why people still use VISA or AliPay, it's why no Fortune 500 company relies on blockchains for its critical infrastructure, and why all major smart contract usage is related to either crypto exchanges, gambling, or more cryptocurrencies (such as ERC-20 based ones on the Ethereum blockchain).
I work in the financial industry and I can't even begin to count the number of servers that we are running to just run nightly and weekly batch jobs.

Babylon, Here We Come
From the book of Proverbs (in the Bible): "The wise man gets a lot of advice" (paraphrased).

One chapter later: "The fool listens to most of it" (also paraphrased).

If you don't have the time to sort it all out, don't listen to all the viewpoints. Society, collectively, is insane - it believes so many contradictory things that could not all possibly be true. You can't listen to society or "they say" as a guide. You'll get nonsense.

But part of this is on the news, especially television and internet news. They need a hot take for this hour to draw eyeballs. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to be new and different. But if you're trying to follow it to learn what to do to protect yourself in the pandemic, it's a hopelessly self-contradictory jumble. People wind up saying "They lied to us! They're still lying to us!" The problem is that "they" - the "they" that the media present to us - is too big a set.

Now, individual experts still can be mistaken, give bad advice, or even lie. But no expert is as confused as the union of all the experts.
