Doesn't seem nearly aggressive enough.
1) “Those in power” does not mean only the government.

2) Mediating access to information in Western societies is now in a much more advanced state than brute censorship.
Even thoughtful, well articulated comments packed with critical thinking and citations get downvoted.
"most economical" is not just some minor feature. If you were to switch to another means of producing hydrogen the price of the process would rise dramatically. The only non-fossil fuel hydrogen generation process is water electrolysis (well and biomass, but guess what's involved in efficiently producing large quantities of biomass).

If you currently eliminated fossil fuels from the process the price required to maintain our current food levels would escalate dramatically. In practice this would mean likely that both food production will drop and food prices would rise.

I don't think it's disingenuous. Maybe I should add "affordable" as a prefix to nitrogen fixation, but "less economic" fertilizer means "less economic" food which is a fairly big problem.
Sure, it just has Brave's "bad stuff" instead :)
If there were governments (or pseudo governments) then what does wild west mean in this case? The OP was saying the internet should be the wild west without government interference. My understanding was government free area.
Speakers corner is crackpots and insanity. So your comparison stands, but I doubt for the reason you intended
Generally calling something security theatre has an implication that it shouldnt be done because of its inefficacy and the availability of robust alternatives (e.g., port knocking is theatre when we can have robust security on known ports with minimal configuration and cryptography).
MKP Staff Members
I left the MKP organization after many years after I discovered that they openly permitted convicted felony pediphiles to be on staff in leadership and senior elder roles. These same convicted felons were allowed to facilitate men and participate in the brother dance ceremony.
> Why don't people like their Smart TVs?

The reason why people don't like smart TV's is in literally every other comment on this post: we don't like ads and other data collection activities TV manufacturers are pushing on us. Is that not obvious?

> It seems ironic that people are complaining about smart TV ads while the [2] link in the OP has an absolutely MASSIVE video ad that takes up 2/3s of the screen.

For the life of me I can't understand why I should dismiss my TV automatically downloading uninstallable apps and unmovable icons in prime UI real estate, serving ads and generally being a menace because there are ads in one dudes link on the internet.
"Launch your product without hiring a branding consultant" may be a more accurate way to describe this offering!

I get that this is more about branding than product design. But, I'd like to point out that if you are making a product, someone is doing the design for that product, whether they realize it or not.
Please double check your calculations this time, to avoid another faux-pas like the first attempt back in 1891.
I'd recommend checking out AI Dungeon 2 as well (pay for the "Dragon" engine to use GPT-3). While I agree with you that it's not an AGI, it's still _insane_ what it's capable of doing. I've been able to define complicated scenarios with multiple characters and have it give me a very coherent response to a prompt.

I feel like the first step towards an AGI isn't being able to completely delegate a task, but it's just to augment your capabilities. Just like GitHub Copilot. It doesn't replace you. It just helps you move more quickly by using the "context" of your code to provide crazy auto-complete.

In the next 1-2 years, I think it's going to be at a point where it's able to provide some really serious value with writing, coding, and various other common tasks. If you'd asked me a month ago, I would have thought that was crazy!
> I think is enough to sustain appetite towards developing these chains in a direction for the better

They don't have the culture needed.
I'm not sure I understand your point, unless you're arguing that national speed limits are deliberately low so that police can fine people driving at the "correct" speed? Or that police lie about your speed and fine you anyway?
Stuff is scary. I feel like at some point we'll ask same question but for HDMI etc cables..
> Tutankhamen had an aluminum ankh

The ability to make Aluminium would be alien technology to the ancient Egyptian culture. There’s a good reason it’s production was only discovered in modern times.

My guess is that you were thinking of Tutankhamun's meteoric iron dagger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutankhamun%27s_meteoric_iron_... “Nineteen iron objects were discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun, including a set of blades which appear very similar to those used in the Egyptian opening of the mouth ceremony (a ritual performed for the benefit of the deceased to enable an afterlife). These blades are also intricately linked to iron and stars, being described in temple inventories as composed of iron and were themselves frequently referred to as the stars. The other iron objects were wrapped with Tutankhamun's mummy; these include a miniature headrest contained inside the golden death mask, an amulet attached to a golden bracelet and a dagger blade with gold haft. All were made by relatively crude methods with the exception of the dagger blade which is clearly expertly produced. This suggests that the dagger was probably imported to Egypt perhaps as a royal gift from a neighboring territory, indicating that at this time Egypt's knowledge and skills of iron production were relatively limited. Only further analytical testing can confirm if all of these artifacts are made from meteorite iron but they do appear to suggest that iron was a material used to indicate high status at the time of Tutankhamun's death in approximately 1327 BC.”.
I found it easy to use and it left no ambiguity around what Tiny is and how it works
So Rust doesn’t aim to be a C replacement, I’ve never heard anyone suggest that. It’s clear that it aims to be a C++ replacement.

C++ is also used more than C in the world, so I’m not sure I get the argument that it isn’t useful.

Rust will likely succeed in replacing much of C++ or at minimum push C++ in its direction.

Lots of programs need concurrency, and yeah it’s a huge pain in C or C++. Go is great till you need to leverage C libraries
Can you share a couple of the better links?
A lot of lasers require a pump laser, it seems their argument is that this can be useful for low cost production in something like the telcom world.

There are many facets of this comment I would like to address.

First lets make the assumption that I agree false information should be (or even can be) curbed on social media, things like Flat Earth... The problem here as we saw with COVID picking "authoritative" sources is not always accurate and tends to curb legitimate dissent as much as it does false information. Anything from the origins to COVID to the flip flopping nature of mask wearing, to discussions over mandates have all been censored in various ways under the guise of curbing false information. That is very very dangerous IMO, in fact to me it more dangerous than the false information itself. It is akin to the legal standard of "better 10 guilty people go free, than 1 innocent be imprisoned falsely" well to me, it is better than 10 false statements be spread than 1 true statement be suppressed

Then you have to take into account the clear political bias in deciding what is "false" information, you talk about the "big lie" of election fraud, but what about the continuing lies about the Rittenhouse trail, the protests / riots, the Waukesha Atrocity, Russia Gate, and many others continuing to be spread by the "authoritative sources" that many of these platforms use as Ministries of Truth. None of which has any kind of censorship or fact checking attached to it, it seems only one political camp has these fact checker flagging deployed to them. If you are going to fact check the "Big Lie" on election fraud, then I want to see fack checks on all those other topics as well.

Then you talk about Twitter "flagging" content, I actually agree that is the correct path. What twitter (and youtube) does to add a flag, or content message directing people to different sources is a good thing, I have no problem with this I just want ti deployed in a political neutral, fact based way. Today it is not being done that way.

What I do have a problem with is suppression, bans, and other direct forms os censorship often employed by twitter and other platforms. I am a firm believe that the solution to speech one believes is false or "bad" is more speech you believe is true or "good" not attempts to censor and suppress which often has an amplifying effect.
"Dying for an iPhone" is a good read on the state of Foxconn and Apple's labor practices, which seem to generally continue to be "abusive at best."

It does lead to not really wanting to touch any of modern consumer electronics, though.

They're the same thing

Satya Nadella Sells Half of His Shares in Microsoft
I personally think this move, and to a larger extent the current trends we're seeing in our industry has much more to do with revenue, profits and share price than it does with the product or any social consequences.
That's sadly not really true. I have an LG that I (thought) I was using this way until one day in the middle of watching some TV I get a prompt about a OnePlus phone trying to control my TV, do I want to accept? Needless to say and didn't, but I was baffled by what happened. Turns out that the stupid TV is controllable via an app over bluetooth, and there is no way to turn bluetooth off. I'm just stuck with my TV constantly advertising it's presence to everything around it.
The Subaru auto headlights work great indeed. Other Subaru smart functionality is crap though. For example, the touchscreen and gauges auto-dimming: literally every time it auto-dims or auto-undims, I have to tweak the dimming level. It would be an objectively better car without the auto-dimming.
A lot of the progress is due to fossil fuels/fertilizer to be sure, but given unlimited access to fossil fuels in 1900, a single person would still do a tiny fraction of the work a modern farmer can do thanks to modern equipment. I think it is a massive understatement to say that the output of the last century isn't due to inventive minds, ignoring the fact that the Haber process was invented itself.
Yup, 40% is not a "large" minority. It's a landslide loss.
IMO, WebStorm's TS support is much better than VSCode's, especially the refactorings.
But Western markets get cheap disposable consumer gizmos, so isn't that a good trade in the end?

Most of the replies to his resignation tweet are Bitcoin trolls.
My solution was to mute words. It was way too tedious to say “show fewer of Bob’s RTs”. So like, I muted the word “Trump”. But I use twitter in a really specific way, and I acknowledge this isn’t a great solution.
This has been my fundamental problem with Twitter; I use Facebook to follow actual friends and their goings-on, and Twitter to follow Important People with Important Things To Say.

Turns out, I care a lot more about the former than the latter.

You could relatively easily flip the script and use the platforms in the opposite way. (although Twitter's narrow reach makes it harder to follow IRL "friends" because they're not so likely to be on the platform or use it regularly).
The problem with updating icon positions in both windows (to preserve the spatial metaphor) is that doing so also breaks the spatial metaphor. You switch to the second window and suddenly something that you thought was in one place suddenly isn't, and you're not sure why for a second or two.

Eastgate Tinderbox is an example of software that actually implements this behavior, and it ends up being more frustrating than it seems, to the point where most users seem to only keep one spatial view open at any one time. Which seems to be where the original Mac UI settled too. I'm not sure why Tinderbox never moved to a model where a complete set of spatial positions are maintained per spatial view, so users could have two windows open with the same object in different positions, but presumably that would also have the potential for user confusion.
There are several use cases where ML can help even if it isn't perfect or even just better than random. Here is one example in NLP/search.

Let's say you have a product search engine and you analyzed the logged queries. What you find is a very long tail of queries that are only searched once or twice. In most cases, the queries are either misspellings, synonyms that aren't in the product text, or long queries that describe the product with generic keywords. And the queries either return zero results or junk.

If text classification for the product category is applied to these long tail queries, then the search results will improve and likely yield a boost in sales because users can find what they searched for. Even if the model is only 60% accurate, it will still help because more queries are returning useful results than before. However you don't apply ML with 60% accuracy to your top N queries because it could ruin the results and reduce sales.

Knowing when to use ML is just as important as improving its accuracy.

> For fiction, there is cultural value in having a character developed consistently over the course of several works so I'd support longer rights there for the author.

Authors could still use trademark to denote what is 'canon'. I don't think society is worse off if some books had "Official Star Wars Canon" logos on them, and more books that lacked this logo. Right now we only get the former, which doesn't benefit anyone but the IP owner.
You also couldn't have megalithic companies like Google that bait you into their ecosystem with "free shit" like Gmail and search completely bankrolled out of their other primary enterprise.

Google uses Ads to unevenly compete with every other software company on the planet. Google can buy your company and outpay you for engineers with what is essentially their financial fingernail clippings. The thing that's gained in this scenario is all of the talent that could be going to other things besides optimizing ads.
I run a profitable business (1.5m+ revenue at 90%+ margins). I would love to sell it and do something else. I even think you can grow it in relatively straightforward way, I just don't have the energy to make it happen. Sadly it's a niche business, might be difficult to run by outsiders. The reasons I want to sell are that I want to do something else and that I am already set for life (maybe not fully Fat Fire but very close).

> Boeing had the audacity of blaming the pilots when they inevitably died in crashes.

That wasn’t a great look, but Boeing is correct that if the pilots had followed the existing checklist memory items for stab trim runaway, the airplanes would not have crashed.

The difficulty is that prior generations had breakout switches which would inhibit the stab trim from running in a direction counter to the control column deflection. That obviously won’t work for the intended purpose of MCAS (to give flight control feel in opposition to excessive pitch up).

The checklist item for runaway trim is not “stop stab trim by deflecting control column” but rather “stop stab trim by throwing the stab trim cutout switches”. Pilots who used the “deflect control column” technique contrary to the checklist would have gotten away with the error in non-Max 73s, but not in the -Max edition. That’s pretty far from “0% pilot contribution” to the mishap IMO.
Do they vote for it in the intervening 24 years, or is that just how often it comes up?
With pihole you could. Have the ad domains pointed to your own webserver that served you such things.

The 8T (and follow ups) do feel kinda crazy when it comes to charging. Especially considering it has a higher wattage charger than my laptop currently uses. I've also managed to get 2.5 days out of a single charge on my 8T which is impressive considering the hardware.
I didn't know that, nice it only took them 4 years.

WebGPU is like I said irrelevant since the platform is not enabling for these kinds of apps.
Well people should better get jaded (and angry) about destruction of the environment their children will need to live in.

Fire is a phenomena whereby a fuel is combined with an oxidizer to make a new product in a manner that releases heat (ie: an exothermic redox reaction).

Rusting of metals fits that bill since heat is in fact released (just a super tiny amount and rather slowly), so it's _technically fire_ - although fire more commonly implies the rapid release of copious amounts of energy as part of the process.
Muting words or hashtags helps a lot for focusing your timeline, though Twitter's mute list has a max of 200 words.

Thulium is only required in small quantities. Here is a back-of-the-envelope calculation: molar mass of thulium: 169g/mol, density: 9.32g/cm3, i.e. 0.055 mol/cm^3 [0]. That's ~ 3.3*10^22 atoms per cubic centimeter.

From the article: A thulium ion dopant concentration of 4.0 × 10^20 cm−3 was measured using Rutherford backscattering
spectrometry. [1], i.e. a concentration of roughly 1/100 compared to pure material.

Taking the first search result at face value, a cubic centimeter of 99.9% pure Thulium costs $85 [2]. Since the disks seem to have a diameter of 40μm, only a minuscule fraction of a cubic centimeter of material is needed for each.

I would conclude that the material costs for these disks are not as large as initially assumed.

If Jack Dorsey wanted to encourage decentralization, he could have trivially supported the open-source ActivityPub standard instead of introducing his own competing standard. It's nice to see him stand up for it, but I kinda roll my eyes when I hear people say that he's a champion of decentralization. He's had years to make it work, but we've seen nothing come from it.

Amazon had (perhaps still has) whispernet - a global coverage of cellular networks. It was used to download books to your kindle, essentially anywhere in the world, without having to have a local plan or WiFi.

It was 2G iirc, enough for book download. Uploading a perceptive hash of what you are watching - e.g. a frame every few seconds - also fits on 2G speeds.
