Perhaps a more optimistic way of looking at it: When mass production became available to art, the idea of an "artwork" had to be abstracted from a unique piece (Walter Benjamin gives the example of a statue of Venus, which has value in its uniqueness) to the idea of art as the output of some process. Each piece has no claim to authenticity, and the very idea of an "original" would be antithetical to its production.

I think art will survive, just like photography didn't kill the painting, the idea of art might simply begin to encompass this new mean of production, which no longer requires the steady hand, but still requires a discerning eye. Sure, we might say that the "artist" is simply a curator, picking which algorithmic output is most worthy of display, but these distinctions have historically been fluid, and challenging ideas of art has long been one of art's function as well
What kind of excuse is that?

The standard Silicon Valley Ethos excuse.

Which is what a lot of these "self-made men" have and built their careers and fortunes on.
To be clear, first-to-file just means that in the event that the patent is granted, it's awarded to the person who filed first instead of the "actual" inventor. However, the patent can still be invalidated for prior art. The net effect of this is that AMD lost their ability to patent their invention by not filing first.
This is the main reason, and you can't blame engineers. The only way to raise your salary is to job hop, so the only point of having a job is to train for your next job.

Also, as a company trying to hire people you need to use the latest fads to attract new employees. It is a vicious cycle for sure.

There is no room in this dysfunctional industry to use simple proven technology that is appropriate to your size.

Hindsight is 20-20, I know, but Russia was the worst choice there was as supplier.

It was not nearly as obvious 15 years ago, as it is today, but all the signs were there. We (I include myself here) were just not listening closely enough to the countries that knew Russia the best: Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine.

The decision is also amplified by the meaningless end to the German nuclear program.

Implementing and refining game tech is not easy, but it's fun, is mostly a science, and gives you rewarding feelings regularly. Game design/production is a mystical dark art (or at least can feel like one) that can be incredibly discouraging, so people avoid it, and avoid the point at which the end is in sight and the game will be judged as a game, by gamers. Modern games leave such a potent impression on our psyche that trying to design one of your own without excessive imitation or feelings of inferiority asks a lot of us. There's also the phenomenon of "devlogs," whose quantity is proportional to development time, and which are useful to show backers that you're making progress (in good faith or otherwise.) And in many cases, somehow they are always long enough to maximize ad placement!!
In my view, the problem with that argument is that large actors, such as governments or large corporations, can train their own models without such restrictions. The knowledge to train them is public. So rather than prevent bad outcomes, these restrictions just restrict them to an oligopoly.

Personally, I fear more what corporations or some governments can do with such models than what a random person can do generating Biden images. And without restriction, at least academics could better study these models (including their risks) and we could be better prepared to deal with them.

It's completely irrelevant that a promise was or wasn't made. NATO is a defensive alliance whose members join voluntarily, we don't go around planting flags with the Safari icon by right of conquest.

Hinting at a moral equivalence -- because let's be honest, that's what's happening here -- between Russian expansion and NATO "expansion" is at the very least intellectually dishonest.

On the other hand, USB hubs/docks in my experience are much more likely to be flaky, presumably due to less adherence to specs, and this can be exacerbated by connecting the hub/dock with third party USB cables (which also often don’t adhere to the spec).

Personally speaking I’ve had terrible luck with USB hubs ever since USB 3 appeared, long before any of the newer Type C higher capability stuff came about. Almost invariably USB 3 hubs are a pain in the the butt.
>And yet doesn't history also show us that it gets sorted out eventually?

That's called "whig history" and it's mostly an idea of religious origin: the idea that the world progresses to some moral or enlightened end.

Technology and scientific knowledge do accumulate over time. Actually, even those can be lost (tons of techniques were lost for centuries, and some are still unknown, when empires like Rome fell), but generally they accumulate, based on their technical and informational nature.

But society, morality, government enlightenment etc. don't accumulate. They can revert to totally worse than previous times at any point, and often have. That's based on human character (not so malleable outside of evolutionary time spans), interests (national, folk, and private), resource availability and contest for resources, who is in power, and trends, ideology and moral ideas prevalent at each era.

(E.g. post golden-era Athens compared to before, post-Roman empire medieval times, the Renessaince (the quentessential era of slaughter and war in Europe, and also when the Inquisition was founded and operated), WWI and WWII compared to the "belle epoque".

And those regressions was in regular, non existential danger times. What can happen under lack of resources like water (in most of the planet), climate change catastrophes, or even nuclear war, is even worse.
OK, we've got hundreds of scientists from 65 countries who spent years compiling a rigorous 2900 page report on one side, and on the other, a podcast.

It's ~50% efficient as compared to ~80% for pumped storage.

Synthetic kerosene for making jet fuel or using syngas to make green fertilizer might make sense as a decarbonization strategy but as a means of "storing" electricity it's kind of pointless.

You can infer what they think based on their words and actions. You’re pedantry here about not knowing what someone is thinking without “mind reading” is A: incorrect unless you believe inferring things is impossible and B: a pointless interrupt to the conversation
What parts did you find difficult?

When I first started, I found the keybindings odd, but now I love them since the core set of shortcuts—C-a, C-e, C-f, etc.—work "everywhere" from the terminal, to GNU readline-based programs, to even native macOS text boxes. If you don't like the default keybindings, you can change them or use the Evil package [0] for Vim bindings.

If you want to get up and running quickly, I'd check out Doom Emacs [1] which is easier to configure and takes care of a lot of configuration for you. I personally use a reasonably-minimal config I wrote myself [2]. If you like to tinker, I'd recommend writing your own config, as it will also teach you a lot about Emacs.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out—contact info in my profile.

> I personally don't see what benefit he can bring to Twitter other than shaking up the culture. Who knows, he may even come in, take over, and claim to be a founder of Twitter, just like he did with Tesla.

He didn't "come in", in as much as he "made the company". The company was "two guys and some incorporation papers" before Musk's involvement. The company, for all intents and purposes, did not exist before Musk's involvement.

Whether that made him a founder is irrelevant, but it's important to not imply that he just "bought" a company that already had a product. There was no product.

> Americans adore the idea that just because it wasnt written down, it somehow holds no value to the parties involved

This is actually a point of friction between settlers and North American Indigenous communities.

As predominantly oral communities, your word holds as much weight as a written contract. They got burned by written contracts in the past wrt land usage too.

Woe betide a naive bureaucrat who makes empty promises to a First Nations / American Indian community. Speak carefully, because people will remember.
For instance, the Microsoft SMTP server in the cloud is picky about SSL/TLS protocols and ciphers.
Well, if what you're saying is that a reader who is already biassed towards agreeing with the post will be motivated to upvote a post that complains about "cancel culture" because "culture wars," so use this one weird trick to get more upvotes even though it isn't going to persuade anyone who has yet to make uup their mind, you may be right.

(hard winkie, you definitely did not say anything about cancel culture or culture wars.)

But while you may be right about upvotes, I still feel correct about the fact that the tactic undermines the quality of the communication with respect to meaningful discussion amongst people seeking understanding. Furthermore, my fear is that such tactics increase polarization and knee-jerk reactions in comments, further devaluing good-faith debate.

If I'm roughly correct, the "disclaimer" feels like click-bait titles and other tactics that amount to "defecting" in game theory: They produce a very narrow advantage (worthless upvotes) for the poster, at the expense of the value of discussion to the forum overall.

The existence of tactics that undermine the quality of social discourse is a very hard problem, as we all know.
Many people have good intentions, but then in their emotional tantrums cause by their zeal, they will forget that law and order exists and will inevitably do more harm than good. So anyone that has ideas of going their own path, should temper it lawfully.

Any intelligent capitalist sees the climate and other systemic issues as strategic risks/opportunities. Don't look at (late coal baron) Robert Murray and think that is all capitalism is just because he is part of it.
This thinking you're Google is the opposite of technical debt, avoiding doing something and then paying a recurring price for the expediency. This is paying a price up front by doing something which is then never used.
I would actually go farther and say the comment you are responding to supports the article's thesis.

They talk about remediating issues with email alerts. That is exactly the kind of approach you can take when you are nowhere near Google's scale, instead of building a complex system to ensure all of these remediations can happen automatically without any human intervention. Sounds like they took exactly the right approach of not over-engineering a solution prematurely.

There is no chance 1.2B people will migrate to Europe.

The problem is that, right now, EU countries are forced to accept poor immigrants and integration is not easy.

Integration is not easy for a number of economical reasons and not due to xenophobia. EU economies, especially in the south, are not doing well. There are not a lot of jobs, life got progressively worse in the last 20 years, crisis after crisis.
So naturally, migrants will end up working for 2€ per hour picking up tomatoes or selling drugs and stealing bikes.

Eventually, it will become politically unsustainable and local populations will vote to quit the EU and stop the immigrants flow.
The nordic countries have a rape problem linked to immigration. My grandma is afraid of walking in her own city. I'd say we're about 50% there.

We already saw it happen in the UK. The only thing keeping the other countries in is that their economy are too weak to survive on their own and they came to rely on the single market.
One major category of such processes is calcination, both for cement (CaCO3 >> CaO) and alumina (Al(OH)3 >> Al2O3). This can be done with concentrated solar heating:

https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2017/gc/c7gc0058...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0038092X1...

But building enough plants to actually do this at scale could take a while. Supposedly there was an anode developed for electrolytic iron reduction:

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12134

but there have been problems with scaling it:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30349905

Between calcination, smelting and heating, you've addressed a pretty big chunk of fuel-burning processes. The question is whether we can get these kinds of technologies online in time without Manhattan-Project levels of government support, since that does not seem to be forthcoming.
Only thing I'm missing from Emacs is the ability to completely freeze all packages and configs.

As soon as I feel like everything is stable and great, it decides to update 180 packages while I'm trying to edit a file and destroys something in my setup.

If anyone knows a way to prevent all updates and "freeze" a version that would be excellent.
> This explicitly programmed behavior can NOT be a bug

Um, I know you said you work in software, and the rules say not to doubt you. So I'll press Y and move on.

There are so many levels of bugs that almost nothing would surprise me, and this falls very easily within the range of bugs I've witnessed personally. Let's try this:

Hahahaha. It takes a single off-by-one errors to accidentally increment prices. It would take a lot of effort to deliberate design a feature that deliberately adds to quoted prices on every refresh, for the purpose of... um... well, that part is unclear. This bug can NOT be explicitly programmed behavior, it's too obvious incorrect behavior to be something someone took time to implement.

Yeah, that was easy. Except mine makes sense.
Have you tried contacting a “Handelskammer”? I had quite good experiences in the past with hk24.de for example, even asking questions in English.

The majority of this coastline spreads across the Arctics, so only Icebreakers can navigate there, the rest of its access to the ocean crosses other countries' territorial waters (Turkey and Japan for example) and can easily be blocked. Which is why Russia has never been a naval power.
The specific numbers also match, but I agree that the diagrams are fairly generic.
Precisely. Everyone adores a caring and benevolent dictator. The problem is that the sort of personality traits that inspire someone to pursue a position of power make it overwhelmingly likely that your dictator will be malevolent rather than benevolent. There's a reason that examples of effective BDFLs arise from cases where the dictator was in place before the project became popular.

The other problem is the continuity of leadership. Despite its flaws, one of the strengths of democracy is that the code paths for the transition of power are explicit and regularly exercised. The only reason that anybody has any faith in any potential replacement for Torvalds is that, presumably, Torvalds will hand-pick his inevitable successor. But the successor's inevitable successor will have none of the same legitimacy, and by that time (be it decades from now) I expect the project to transition away from a BDFL model out of necessity.
i think your experience is not a common one. Lots of things have to click in place for that to happen. A satisfying job, supportive spouse and a solid relationship with stakeholders like the in-laws ect.

Most parents are just beat down managing two jobs, taking kids to all the classes, doing chores in the house, worrying about career ect.
Directly, USAGM controls VoA, RFE/RL, RFA, etc. Wikipedia allows these as "reliable sources". Twitter doesn't tag them.

The current CEO of NPR is a former USAGM exec. PBS FRONTLINE has unprecedented access to interviewing top DoD/State officials for stories that advance their agendas. Interesting.

Indirectly, all the establishment media has close ties to national security. NYT admitted that potentially sensitive stories need to get screened by the government before publishing. That's state control over media where it counts.

>> Personally I don't think the anxiety and mental breaks I've seen in my millenial and gen-z peers from the whole "11 years left to do something" is really worth it

This is what gets me. Children having “climate anxiety” is messed up. There is nothing they can do to fix it and they shouldn’t have to worry about it. The constant repeating news cycle of climate fear is clearly targeted at them.
Sounds like they were operating as a kind of central bank using a gold standard and somebody ran away with part of the gold? If so then I at least vaguely understand what happened.

But it has to be crypto-woo that makes people think this is somehow a better thing to invest time and money in that just regular in-game money because as a way of investing money it makes 0 sense.

Guess it'll be a fun wakeup call for people that securities backed by goods are very different from the actual goods.
It's amazing what people make up to discredit Musk.
Additional anecdata, my landlord will replace the old oil-based boiler with a gas-powered one in ~ two months. Gas is sadly not dead, even in "new" installs. :D

(And jacks the rent up 30 euros per month because of it, while the "official" estimated monthly savings on the heating bill are 0.1 cent (yes, cent, not euros) per month per m², probably negative now, amazing ^^')
I used Emacs almost exclusively for half a decade and got pretty good at it. But I feel like VS Code is the natural evolution of all the great ideas of Emacs. So I use VS Code almost exclusively now.
Chomsky is absolutely right. We are sleepwalking into disaster and all I see is a deterioration of public discourse, where we fail to acknowledge how big the threat of extinction currently is.
These fitted ones are flush with my ear (actually slightly further in even), so not had that issue. Sometimes putting the helmet on knocked the plug and meant the seal wasn't quite right, but easily solved by putting it back in!

Screen and helmet definitely make a big difference to buffeting though; funnily enough not always a bigger screen, just a different shape I found.

> the UK is out of the EU

Wouldn't NATO be more relevant in terms of defence?
And yet, nearly 2 years later, at the end of '91, Yeltsin said the long-term goal of Russia was to join NATO[1]. And they were slowly moving in that direction through the aughts.

If your goal is to prevent NATO expansion, the Ukraine invasion makes no sense. In its wake it has caused multiple neutral countries to explore membership (Finland, Sweden) and has caused an otherwise austere Germany to increase defense spending. It has also laid-bare problems in the Russian military on the global stage. Massive unforced error.

The counterfactual where Russia never invaded Ukraine in 2022 or 2014, we'd still be talking about leaving NATO - something Trump was floating in 2016. There were rumblings about dissolving it prior to these actions. If Putin had simply waited, further entangled Europe into its fossil fuel industry, and continued overtures to western right-wing parties, he could have probably eliminated NATO as a "threat" to Russia within a decade. Without a single shot fired, without a soldier stepping foot on foreign soil.

This feels unnecessarily hostile. I've felt a similar tinge of disappointment upon reading that paragraph, despite the fact that I somehow knew it was "their service, their call" without you being there to spell it out for me. It's also incredibly shortsighted of you to assume that people are interested in exploring this tool only as a means of generating art that they cannot themselves do. Eg. I myself am a software engineer with a fine art background, and exciting new AI art tools being released in such a hamstrung state feels like an insult to centuries of art that humans have created and enjoyed, much of which depicted scenes with nudity or bloody combat.

I feel like we, as a species, will struggle for a while with how to treat adults like adults online. As happy as I am to advocate for safe spaces on the internet, perhaps we need to start having a serious discussion about how we can do so without resorting to putting safety mats everywhere and calling it a job well done.
