This is known as the paradox of tolerance and was figured out right after WW2 by Karl Popper, an Austrian philosopher who witnessed the rise of the Nazis.

Authoritarians use the framework of a free society to rise to power until they are strong enough to topple it. A free society must be able to defend itself against that approach, even if it might seem contrary to its own values.

Here's the way he formulated it:

> Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

> In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.

It is censorship by definition. The question here is if this form of censorship is currently permitted or not permitted by law, and if it should or should not be permitted by law.
Well, almost exactly the same would work in TensorFlow as well.

But the author choose to make the TF logic more explicitly visible, and use abstractions like tf.Module (like torch.nn.Module), the dataset, etc. I'm not sure this really makes so much sense. I guess this is more for just playing around.
Honestly reading the title, I assumed the article would argue the exact opposite since that's already one of the most authoritarian things Twitter et al. is doing right now.

I'm not sure to whom you are replying.

I can't think of anyone I've ever met that started an open-source project expecting it to become their day job in short order.

When your project blows up and mints a herd of new gazillionaires, yes, it's reasonable to ask those companies to fund what is now an important community project.

Anybody that says "nope, their money, they do what they want" is spouting the same flavor of dipshittery as "free speech only means the government can't censor, private companies are free to do what they want".

Technically correct and functionally disastrous. Societies worth living in can and do not endure this behavior for long.

Americans used to understand this. Know why there are schools all over the country named after Andrew Carnegie? Because that ruthless capitalist mercenary, after crushing every one of his competitors to dust, invested a large chunk of his fortune on infrastructure for national wealth that would propel another three generations.

I was kind of with you, but then I remembered that as a kid I was fairly skilled at riding the bike without hands on handlebars, including gentle but initiated and controlled turns. I agree that lean is key but experimentally, hands on handlebar is not a prerequisite.
The point of bringing up Schenck is that reasonable ideas can be and have been used to justify great wrongs, and thus that we shouldn’t rush into action whenever we see a problem, even if there’s a principle that rings true.

“We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.”

What killed the yellow journalism of the past? Was it added restrictions on speech? Or was it something else that we could consider before taking the drastic step of reducing freedom of speech?

>Typically, your eID provides the highest authentication level, in terms of security, when dealing with EU or national (country) level services.

Not really, at least in here (Poland). "Qualified electronic signature" which you can buy from several approved suppliers, provides highest authentication, you can use access all government services with it and is legally equivalent to paper signature. Meanwhile "personal signature" you get on government issued electronic ID is not eIDAS-compliant, isn't equivalent to paper signature, and some government services are not available (like these VAT tax forms using Adobe Reader plugins, ugh).
Little known fact but mass-agriculture varieties of fruits and vegetables often have far less nutrition than heirloom varieties.

Yes, it’s a concern. But that doesn’t mean unfair advantages and cheating doesn’t occur in other esports.

Anyway, I don’t think we’re disagreeing on chess cheating. For me, the small chance someone is cheating doesn’t ruin the esport for me - For you it does, which is a perfectly reasonable response to it.

Secondary thought in the engine idea you had - chess fraud detection, I imagine, goes well beyond just the engine and move likeliness. It will also human-like interaction (Can’t confirm this, but the PM in me has me consumed with thinking about solutions to this problem)

When people play a chess game online, they are frequently evaluating positions. This results in cursor/mouse behavior that’s sporadic. If a user is considering moving the queen, they’ll move their cursor over to it. A user relying on an engine for every move would interact with the board in a very precise manner.

A player with a perfect engine to mimic humans will still get caught as their interaction with the board would differ greatly because only one position is considered for each move.

So you are saying "normal" people don't hire accountants to ensure they pay the minimal amount of tax while wealthy people do? Normal people don't hire accountants for the simple fact that it isn't economically viable for them. The taxes they could save is much lower then the pay for the accountant. This balance is of course completely different for a billionaire. I'm willing to bet that if the cost of hiring an accountant would be 500$ and a normal person would pay 5000$ less in tax because of that then almost everyone would have an accountant at the ready. In fact you would be financially irresponsible not doing that.

The thing you talk about in your post is that billionaires have more power and use that power to their advantage. Not unlike what anyone really does. Except that billionaires have much more weight to throw around.

I was a fairly serious baseball player as a kid, and later got into golf, and what you describe is pervasive in those activities too. Coaches for generations have repeated things like "keep your elbow up" or "push off the rubber" that (accomplished) players don't actually do, and it's quite apparent if you watch any slow-motion video.

I also struggled with swimming until I was in college and realized that floating is more about filling my lungs with air than anything people told me to do with my arms and legs. My epiphany was that people could float on their backs without moving their arms and legs at all. Now my kids are in a great swimming lesson program, and they start everything with taking a big breath and puffing out their cheeks. I wish someone had just told me that as a kid.

Exploration is a different sort of problem, so neither PoG nor EfficientZero immediately gives you a solution for that. (They probably can do it well because their model-based nature gives them ways to quantify uncertainty for exploration. But they haven't yet.)
I had a brain tumor removed 2 years ago, and I have very similar symptoms still, although everything seems to be improving. I don't know how comparable these situations are medically, but I do know it is very difficult to find doctors who will listen or even group for people who have had brain injuries, except for random online message boards etc. It is extremely frustrating to not know if this is normal, or psychosomatic, if it will last forever, or what.
Probably depends on where you shop and live. My parents live a few states over. Their local grocery will sometimes devote 2-3 whole rows (back/front) to different apple varieties (like 6+ varieties, I think). Local to me, we get green/red and sometimes other varieties in specialty grocery stores.

Often the treatment includes visual therapy, but it can also include special glasses, eye patches, therapy for balance, psychotherapy, exercise programs, inflammation management, sleep quality, and a lot more.

It really depend on the exact issues and symptoms involved. Maybe the visual system is damaged, or the vestibular (balance) or other areas. Thankfully, the brain is incredibly fault tolerant, so it can still find workarounds and co-op other systems to make up some of the difference.

But the workarounds are less efficient and this creates a tremendous load on attention and working memory. In hardware terms, imagine you're playing some graphics-heavy game and your GPU gets fried. The CPU can still run it, but it'll be really laggy and overheated. Luckily the brain can (sometimes) heal and rebuild broken systems. But it takes work.

Somewhere around 90% of concussion suffers have visual problems. Poor tracking, double vision, light sensitivity, difficulty focusing. Their brain compensates so well they might not even notice, but that sort of thing interferes with memory and wears out the brain really quickly. Therapy involving eye tracking, smooth pursuits, focusing practice and the like can get your brain to repair or rebuild those skills. That frees up all that processing power and gets you feeling more normal.

Sorry, but what's the hard part to understand? Open source maintainers end up in this position because they are nice, helpful people who like using computers to solve problems for others. People who spend years on a project and then see a bigger problem arise don't suddenly turn that off. With the bigger problem, they'll want to work harder, not just hoist a middle finger and go binge Netflix without a care in the world.

But I totally agree with you on the CTOs, etc. I don't expect random programmers who like working on logging to also be good at solving complicated sociotechological problems around paying for global infrastructure. But it boggles my mind that none of these richly rewarded, supposedly brilliant experts at organizing engineers has gotten out in front of this. If not out of community spirit or social responsibility, then out of pure self interest.
It was more the state / polity / Manor issue - during the "fall" states fragmented into smaller parts that essentially could not afford large standing armies that would have the labour / coordination ability to mount a large siege.

But if that's the fall, you would assume an equal and opposite situation on the way up. As, for example, Rome grew in power there would be a series of manoral lords who had their own castles and Rome would have to assimilate them. But from my sketchy Republic history Rome was one of many city states competing - the city state was the unit size not the manor / castle.

It's almost like during the fall we fell further - sort of below zero whereas starting from zero we never went up through the castle stage.

I don't know much about this year's recipients but, per article, they seem to think that the tech companies can engage in more censorship in order to fight misinformation, and somehow this fights authoritarianism. Truly incredible stuff. If it's a true and complete representation of their views, it amplifies the need for more mockery. Who are these folks? Have they ever worked on any kind of complex system?

We spent a long time on the choice. But it was really important in this setting to avoid the word "type", and sort is a technically correct term too — e.g., as used in many-sorted logics [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many-sorted_logic]. Given the precedent from mathematics, it seemed like a pretty good choice (and to me, still does).

> Log4j maintainers have been working sleeplessly on mitigation measures; fixes, docs, CVE, replies to inquiries, etc. Yet nothing is stopping people to bash us, for work we aren't paid for, for a feature we all dislike yet needed to keep due to backward compatibility concerns.

Why don't they 'resolve' the security issue by removing the feature and then set up a bug bounty for backporting fixes to the shitty feature? Then the companies that depend on it will actually be on the hook for once.

Too much collateral damage for downstream F/OSS? Too unseemly a move, in a moment of ‘crisis’?
And yet oddly, the entire Twitter thread that agrees with Gaea Opines, and presumably their politics, hasn't been banned. Gaea Opines, themselves, hasn't been banned.

One removed comment does not an all-encompassing, democracy threatening conspiracy against a specific political side make.
> Nobody is holding them to anything

I don't get this argument. Part of sharing your work is making sure what you put out is actually helpful to people. If they remove features people really like, then the library won't be as helpful - so it's perfectly fine for the OG devs to maintain this feature. The same thing with "scrambling" to fix - that could be because a sword is hanging over your head, or because you care about the people who use your work. Thinking this way, I can perfectly see them working hard to fixing this bug.

Or just use the honor system in combination with a liability standpoint.

They might loose out on smaller companies that abuse it, but teams and people in larger companies that use it will pay.

If I want to use something, I can pay for it and submit it to get reimbursed or if it's a bigger purchase, I use a company card. I don't have to worry about putting the company in liability and that's something that's understood by many.

> To cut costs companies typically make teabags out of polypropylene plastic instead of paper or alternatives.

That's funny - I think plastic teabags are the premium option. Cheaper (and the majority of) tea bags are paper. They are sealed with a plastic glue - but they're trying to move away from that. A fully plastic tea bag is definitely an unusual product and almost certainly some kind of premium design.

I have a friendlier reading.

Social media algorithms amplify whatever is most profitable to amplify. Unfortunately, amplifying sht flinging turns out to be the most profitable. Social media companies have encoded this preference into their algorithms from the very beginning and optimised - a/b tested- for profitability along the way.

Social media are deliberately hiding gems under piles of - pardon my french- sht. How do we call this? Censorship, a specific subset of censorship, or something not quite censorship but very similar? We need to know, because fighting an enemy with no name is difficult! Are there any existing words? What about "deluging"? Any other suggestions?

How do we help people survive the drowning-in-sht effect of this social media deluge? That is the key question! Agency for the social media consumer will be a key part of the answer. In human-speak: "no sht in my feed!".

I taught my kid how to ride using training wheels 4 years ago. She rode 4 times in 4 weeks using 2 training wheels. 1 hour on 1 wheel the next week. The next weekend within 20 minutes of no wheel she was fine and cycled perfectly since. Truth be told I didn’t teach her any more than encourage her.

I was sceptical of the balance bike method. She didn’t need it. I remain highly skeptical that it offers any advantage whatsoever.

If, hypothetically, there were 1/3 people who are legitimately easy to manipulate online, then in that hypothetical scenario, what would be a good response that didn’t involve censorship?

What comes to my mind is that it’s largely the algorithms fault. They hyper optimize for strong emotional reactions and not at all for truth or value. It’s the social media companies that are forcing this insane content down peoples throats, it’s not like you can hide the YouTube recommendations panel.
