To nitpick your framing a little bit, while it may illegal to sell raw milk, I doubt it's illegal to buy it, which is a distinction that has to do with scale (one could sell raw milk at scale, but not consume it at scale).

I haven't researched raw milk and I have no idea how dangerous or safe it may be, but the motivation is to prevent sale of [dangerous thing] to people who may not be aware of the dangers of [dangerous thing]. To use another silly example, let's say there's an entrepreneur who sells a toxic mixture of chemicals as a "health drink"; you could argue about whether that should be legal or illegal, but I don't think anyone would say it's a no-brainer that a law prohibiting the sale of that health drink exists on the right, strictly-exists-to-curtail-individual-freedom side of of your spectrum.

To your point, I can think of a few laws that do belong on the right, "I just don't like it so it should be banned" side of that spectrum, and things that come primarily to mind are puritanical laws banning transactional sex, consumption of certain media, prohibition of selling alcohol on Sundays (which is a religious, not health, concern), decency laws; things like that. I don't think FDA regulations belong in this category.

The content guidelines are so onerous I don’t even waste time imagining what I might do with the API.

OpenAI somehow managed to leech all the joy out of GPT-3 with their own overbearing self righteousness.

For an organization with so many RL engineers, they have a surprisingly poor understanding of the exploration/exploitation tradeoff.

Somehow I'd missed that one. I agree with its general point, but the "this is what SQL would look like as YAML" joke actually looks almost exactly like how I write SQL. Maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years....

I don't even understand the question.

I went to forums because there was stuff about a certain topic.

I follow people on twitter because I like what they write. Sometimes that is about a certain topic, but usually not. Maybe it is the entry point how I got to know them, but not more. Twitter for me is 90% about personal connections, people I've known from work, from IRC, from conferences and sometimes people I've not interacted before. So it's the same as following people's blogs, just micro. I am not subscribing to any curated lists, not following trending topics, etc.pp.

Disclaimer: I am following < 150 and < 100 people on my 2 disjunct twitter accounts.
Yep, supply chain attacks are a near-universal problem with programing language package managers.

I think there's a lot of room for improvement here. Some good low-hanging fruit IMO would be to:

1. Take steps to make package source code easier to review.

1.1. When applicable, encourage verified builds to ensure package source matches the uploaded package.

1.2. Display the source code on the package manager website, and display a warning next to any links to external source repositories when it can't be verified that the package's source matches what's in that repo.

1.3. Build systems for crowdsourcing review of package source code. Even if I don't trust the package author, if someone I _do_ trust has already reviewed the code then it's probably okay to install.

2. Make package managers expose more information about who exactly you're trusting when you choose to install a particular package.

2.1. List any new authors you're adding to your dependency chain when you install a package.

2.2. Warn when package ownership changes (e.g. new version is signed by a different author than the old one).

Long-term, maybe some kind of sandbox for dependencies could make sense. Lots of dependencies don't need disk or network access. Denying them that would certainly limit the amount of damage they can do if they are compromised, provided the host language makes that level of isolation feasible.
Kickoff was 18th of October after I indicated to someone internally that I wanted to write something for the blog about this program (not gonna name them in case they don't want to be named :P)

First draft (very rough) was 22nd October

Second draft (toned around a bit) was 5th November

Security review + a proper edit happened while I was on Holiday on the week of 8th-12th November (lots of comments left for me), basically nothing got removed, I think one image and about 2-4 lines of text from memory

I came back to a bunch of comments (nearly all on the Monzo Tone of Voice https://monzo.com/tone-of-voice/), went through those, proof-read and then got a green light from:

- Engineering

- Marketing + Press

- Some other folks in Security (because of the content)

And then we moved this over from Google Docs where I was drafting it into our Blog system (Contentful), had a quick skim to make sure it read properly and then published :)

> Does having to build on top of Safari on iOS also constrain those higher level things?

Yes!

> containers (Firefox over Chrome)

No, they can't install add-ons (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-ons-firefox-ios). Even if they could built this into the browser, they can't (see how the profiles are handled).

> better profile handling (Chrome over Firefox)

No, Chrome does not support this feature on iOS (https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2364824?hl=en&co=GE...). iOS' WebKit limits this to only one permanent profile and one ephemeral profile. You can technically have multiple profiles in the iPad - that is, if you're a school, and that's really more of a OS-wide user account thing. (G did a hack over this by rewriting that profile when switching profiles - but it's not truly a multitask thing, and violates Apple Developer Guidelines).

> better spell checking (everything over Firefox)

No, and for more sensible reasons. Users do expect consistent spell checking because they use the keyboard to do that. Regardless, if you want to implement spell checking in-browser, that's impossible. If you want to do it outside of Safari, go ahead - it's just not integrated to those Apple things (more of a dedicated Grammarly interface rather than desktop spell checking).
Very informative article. I've been watching Unity (symbol U) for a few months, waiting for a buying opportunity. And I've been chasing it the whole time. And now, with Weta, it'll probably rocket onward.

It tells you there's an increased interest in participating to the current topic, that multiple messages from different people will appear concurrently and split the topic. It's an indication you should probably stop typing, as your message will get lost in the noise.
It is commonly misunderstood that ZIL SLOGs are write-back caches, they are not. They do not speed up large writes that do not fit into memory. I have tested this myself. It seems to be an incredibly popular misconception that has spread very widely.

If Lemmy's voting system is incompatible with Mastodon & Pleroma, then does that also mean that reshares and Favorites from Mastodon or Pleroma won't count as upvotes in Lemmy?
Correct. I feel Mozilla is starving Firefox and using the money somewhat frivolously.

Mozilla have many interesting projects and several of them may be good, but none of them have had such impact or has such potential for the future as Firefox.

Edit: and I'm willing to pay $10 - $50 a month to someone who will create and maintain a patched version of the latest Firefox that fixes the worst problems like not being able to hide the standard tabs (in addition to any sponsored search deals they may get).

I suspect I'm not alone: for many(most?) of us our browser is one of our most important tools, the other being and IDE, an editor or some graphics tool.

Edit 2: Paid Chromium based doesn't count for me. A major point is to counter the Chrome monoculture.
None of that matters in this case, since the users don't purchase or administer their computers.

The IT department selects appropriate configurations that support the software they need. My university has no problem supporting a Linux laptop and desktop, and Germany's administration would be doing something similar.
I have heard, I think from a user on here, that crimes are often listed as a pair of synonyms (e.g. "aiding and abetting") because one word was Norman French and the other was English, and the law required both to be understood.
There's a bifurcation of goals in modern platforms, where traditional forums (with their smaller, niche communitites) only catered to one of those goals.

The common goal is community. You have a small gaming forum and you're talking with your gaming friends about strategies and mods and maps you've made and you connect over the shared interest.

The new goal is commercial. By writing sufficiently engaging content or understanding how to play the algorithms, or how to play the memes you can expand your reach/influence/follower-count. Now your writing is a private marketing channel. The other side of the commercial goal "coin" is the idea of discovery. There are lots of people looking for new things to read, and these are the people that commercial goals are trying to get in front of.

Things like the "endless feed" cater exclusively to discovery/commercial goals.

FYI: I'm working on an open-source self-hosted private blogging system called Haven[1] that explicitly excludes discoverability and commercial as goals.

I have a nine year old like that. One moment he's into silly toddler videos, the next he's watching videos about history, astrophysics, math or whatever he fancies at that moment. It's hard to say whether this is good or bad but I don't want to restrict him so I keep an eye out and every now and then suggest a subject.
One feature I've been unable to find anywhere is the ability to sync the sensor clock very precisely, either manually as a menu option or using radio signals (Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS or tv broadcast, I'm not sure which would be better).

The idea would be to sync perfectly multiple cameras to capture an event in time exactly at the same moment, but from different angles. I know professionnal cameras can do this using a Genlock, but with the amount of sensors and radios on modern cameras, I'm pretty sure this could be made available to the masses.
It is commonly misunderstood that ZIL SLOGs are write-back caches, they are not. They do not speed up large writes that do not fit into memory. I have tested this myself.

You are spreading incorrect information, please stop. You know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to actually be right.
My understanding is that validating identity for package authors is a hard problem thus expensive to solve robustly, and the crates.io folks have hitherto deferred tackling it in earnest. That is arguably a responsible approach up to a point, in that they haven't committed prematurely to something half-baked.

As described elsethread, there is prior art — Maven's identity verification is substantially better: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29266591

Validating ownership of a namespace reliably enough that it is difficult to spoof is tough. It's possible for PGP creds to be stolen. But then at least the keys can be revoked, and old packages signed with a new key.

I know this is a false equivalence argument but one might frame vaccine hesitancy as simply people unwilling to be mandated to inject anything into their bodies. Can you imagine if the government sought to mandate heroine injection as the only standard way of pain relief? That's what I think most average people think about when they are "vaccine hesitant".
Feynman??? wtf
Scholix[0] is a collaboration between a few orgs, including Crossref (DOI registration agency for scholarly content, e.g. articles) and DataCite (DOI registration agency for data sets).

If a DataCite member registers a data set, and mentions a link to a Crossref DOI, that's almost certainly a dataset-article link. Vice versa.

So the data in Scholix is the union of "what citations do article publishers and dataset publishers think exist".

We're working on improving how we process the data citation data, but ultimatley can't improve on what Publishers provide.

Sorry, a bit of a non-answer.

Staying power How to thrive in the great resignation if you don’t want to quit
An intellectual-yet-idiot who placed too much hope and emphasis on game theory, despite the fact that it only works when agents are perfectly rational.
You are correct -- I am in a niche area. I have less than 12 HDDs in a RAIDZ2 configuration. If I had more HDDs in the RAID I would see better write speeds. But I think most home users with TrueNAS ZFS do not have massive arrays, thus my envy of the tiering or true SSD caching.

You are correct that prices of small SSD are near HDD prices, but most people would want larger drives like 12 to 16TB drives in their array, and SSDs can not compete with these on price at all.

Maybe we are in the twilight of HDDs? And SSDs will compete on price across the whole storage capacity range soon? Maybe...

Yes, unfortunately it seems a theory or piece of news is memory-holed, banned, or otherwise stigmatized, and then even if evidence and facts show up later, retractions/corrections are rarely made. I remember reading Milan Kundera's "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting", and I cannot help but have weird vibes given the current zeitgeist, censorship, science arguments from authority vs. backing experiments and data, and the attempted mandating actions of the state.

I remember when there was early evidence that the bio-distribution of the vaccine spike was making it to areas other than the injection site and that there were no data to of Pfizer/Moderna bio-distribution found on the internet. A petition by concerned scientists to see this data was file in June 2021[3]. Nobody was accusing that it had not been done, but that the data was not made available for peer review. The people who wrote, blogged, or YouTubed these questions simply saying we should look into this, were silenced by media/big tech.

And now this October, a lab study from Sweden showed that the spike protein (from the virus or vaccine) can make its way into the nucleus of the cell in an in vitro (petri dish vs. in vivo, in clinical subject's bodies) study contrary to current and past hypotheses and evidence, is not at the forefront of the news to at least have other labs verify or falsify this study. It raises the issue of it interfering with DNA repair mechanisms in the cell nucleus. Meanwhile, after a study of less than 3000 children, we are pushing the vaccine on a very low risk group of 5 to 11-year-olds and villainizing parents who either had COVID or willingly took the vaccine and are exercising rational caution. There is no long-term safety data for any of the COVID vaccines, period. So why are news outlets and big pharma able to say things like, "it's 100% safe" without being censored?[4]

There are a lot of biomarkers expressed by “struggling” cells, most of which will not correlate to disease severity, so yes, the news is that this one in particular is predictive.

We're talking about von Neuman here. If I was to find myself in conflict with an assessment of his I would default to assuming I was likely wrong. From a statistical point of view anyone who wouldn't do the same is wrong to do so and ego, personality, or some other "thing" is likely getting in their way. It's not a big deal to cede to him imo.

"It’s fashionable to say that intelligence isn’t real, or that we can’t define it, or that it’s a Western colonial construct. But the word points to a real thing: there is some quality which rocks don’t have, and which mice have a bit of, and which chimpanzees have more of, and humans have a lot of; and which is something like problem-solving ability or ability to achieve goals."

We have IQ for measuring problem-solving ability, but it doesn't correlate well with the ability to achieve goals. That would be another very useful measure though, of something like intelligence * grit. Call it IGQ. An IGQ test would somehow set goals in a realistic, complex, chaotic environment, with social and physical as well as intellectual obstacles. So, a GPA is a sort of IGQ.

Microblogging allows users to express themselves without the confines of being stuck within the boundaries of a particular topic. Microblog moderation tends to be a hell of a lot more hands-off than forum moderation for that reason. Microblogging does not need to wait for a topic to be approved before it can be discussed, and people are free to follow microbloggers for their insights in a way that doesn't really exist in forums.

Forums are walled gardens. Microblogs are blank canvases.

We don't need a "forum protocol." We have Usenet.

Also, many people don't really want to have in-depth discussions with their friends on the internet. What they REALLY want to do is follow famous people and intellectuals and share their thoughts to THOSE people in the hopes of getting noticed.

But, they are required by law to escalate the issue if they believe self-harm is imminent.
Astrud Gilberto, Neil Young, and Stevie Nicks, are all extraordinary talented people,

Gilberto is quite talented, both in delivery and as a composer, but her delivery is amazing, and she has songwriting skills, mostly, she had the advantage of being pretty, and a very capable singer, and someone who was novel.

Neil Young is a talented songwriter, and a master guitar player, his vocal skills are secondary to his skills as a songwriter, and guitarist.

Nicks does have an unconventional voice, but with a phenomenal power to her voice. That's just natural.

And Astaire? No one would call him a great singer, but he was one of the best and most talented dancers of his era, the same goes for Gene Kelly, while they were stylistically very different, they were fantastic dancers, their singing abilities were secondary to their abilities as dancers.

The key for all of these, if you have a radio face, and a great voice/talent, you're probably not finding commercial success (not in the modern era - thought there are exceptions), if you have an average voice/talent and a really pretty face/body, you might find commercial success. If you have an average voice/talent and an average face, you're more than likely, not going to find success.

All four examples you listed had something extraordinary about them.

Giberto, Beauty - and an average talet, Young, an extraordinary talent and an average face, Nicks, a unique voice, and an extraordinary face. Astaire, a multi-talent, and a handsome man too.
Why does it say in an article about Arabic, "In Afghanistan, where hate speech is reportedly one of the top 'abuse categories.'..."

Arabic is not spoke in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, there is common ignorant generalization that Arabic is the language of Iran, Afghanistan, and other Muslim countries.

To those who live there, the distinction is not insignificant.

This also casts doubt on the veracity of everything else in this article.
