I agree, but I think they should lose legal protection for the content on their platform, because they've demonstrated the ability to moderate it. They should be legally liable for the spread of hate speech, financial scams, etc.

Lost money on a bitcoin scam on twitter? They exercised their free speech to display that scam, and should be liable for it.

Anti semitism or other hate speech? Guess who chose to publish it - Twitter.

Problem solved. Be a publisher or be platform. Be both, eat liability nobody else has special exceptions for.

but either way that's all a distraction from the original point, which is that the line between misinformation and being mistaken, or misinformation or truth, is arbitrary nonsense from politically active groups working to push their agendas, not anything related to truth.

This sounds like a great opportunity to move onto an open source platform to host this very popular open source tool.

> But the one thing we cannot do is take it back.

True. We cannot take it back in it's entirety, nor would we want
to. But for some people that quickly becomes the argument for a kind
of technological irreversibility principle, that we cannot take back
any mis-step or feature no matter how immediately awful and obvious
its effects. Left unchallenged that entitlement becomes an argument
for bullheaded intransigence and the labelling of whatever suits us
as 'progress'.

In reality many "genies" are strategically limited; poisons, invasive
species, bio-agents, nuclear materials, knowledge hazards, weapons,
bad poetry...

Sure, I am really glad we won the crypto wars and that "code wants to
be free" etcetera, but on the other hand that seems to have set off a
kind of megalomania in tech, which legitimises turning the entire
digital world into our own personal laboratory for experimenting on
everyone, sans ethics oversight committee.

> The general public needs their nuggets of endorfine.

Here we go again "saying what people need" for them. I meet a lot of
people desperate to get off the digital morphine drip.

> There is a lot of rosy retrospection when it comes to the old web

It seems like that. I've made a more elaborate argument in other
threads. You're right that it's "rosy", like all nostalgia. Of course
the past was crap in its own ways. But melancholia is a symptom of
crisis, retro is a sign of interregnum and loss of common sense
(literally our common sense of things). What does it mean? It means
that our "progress" isn't serving us fully, and in some cases causing
people to recoil from it. Not acknowledging that would be an error.

> Web 1.0 simply did not provide the same level of accessibility.

Of course not. But there are many qualities/metrics by which we might
judge things if we are to avoid what I'd call the "democratic
fallacy"; external cost, stability, longevity, coherence, security,
safety, interoperability, accuracy and truth content, environmental
cost.... Technology is multi-dimensional. Accessibility is all lovely
and cool, but it should not be put ahead of more important human
concerns. OTC opioids are more accessible than street drugs ever were,
that doesn't make it an unqualified "good thing". So we can still
enumerate the ways in which Web 2.0 is worse than Web 1.0 without
invoking nostalgia for a "smaller cosy digital world".
> I'll bet the list of side-effects that are important to some people would be pointlessly long.

There's many good ways to design this that wouldn't result in pointlessly long lists (which is another problem). You don't need to expose everything that will happen when you do an action, just the "most important".

With unlimited budget, you could compare a bunch of metrics to a baseline to figure out what might be important. Have a lot of stars, way more than the average? That would be nice to highlight. Only have a normal number of forks? Probably less important to highlight that. At the end of the day, Github repos aren't extremely unique. Sure there's probably extremely rare edge cases, but for most repos, comparing against a relatively small number of metrics should get enough to paint a picture of what might get broken. Everything else can be hidden behind a "... and X more" if people are curious.

This both highlights the most important things that might happen, and also provide people with an action to do before confirming, hopefully helping to break the autopilot at the same time.
Maybe before you throw shade on the KGB (well-deserved in general, imho) you should examine the provenance of the official story. It does not depend solely on KGB / FSB [1]. In fact, it doesn't depend on them at all.

Rather, Hugh Trevor-Roper interviewed many, many people, without them knowing what the other people said. He carefully cross-checked their testimony, and since then no serious person has disputed what he established.

Unfortunately in the 1970s he damaged his credibility by "authenticating" the Hitler diaries, which were fake. That doesn't change what he did in 1945-46.

You are correct in some immediate sense but this war is a bit different because it is actually revealing what using nukes or threatening to use nukes means in the context of war of conquest/genocide in 21st century. If the US completely abandoned Ukraine day one, then Russia would attack a NATO country next cause they would feel the nuclear threat is too much for the US to handle.

ROC looks pretty good.
I have a older logitech "speakerphone" microphone that I normally use for video calls and the like as people have commented that it sounds better than the mic that is built into the webcam. One of the nice things about it is that you can touch a "mute" function and the LEDs around the edge of the speaker that usually will light up for a volume dial indicator will turn "red" when it is "muted". And I have found that it does track whether or not the session is muted or not.

Whether or not an application is correctly using the functionality or they try to do something sneaky like using a mute function on app to trigger a "cut audio" function on the server side of the video conference is one of the reasons why I use the speakermicrophone. That visual indicator is usually linked to the Audio Subsystem and with the speakermicrophone being a 1st tier HID device for audio purposes, makes it more likely that things are working as they should.

When it doesn't light up and I'm intentional on the mute is when I would worry.
In general, I'm a fan of little happening. In the same way as if I don't vacuum or make my bed, nothing happens, but it's what I'm expected to do. There's some social stigma, and little more.

With classes, I guess I don't advance in my career as much.

Critically, society would be structured with room for this, and a place I'm expected to be without distraction.
Point taken.

I, speaking for myself, will keep this in mind next time I set myself to gushing about Julia.
Regarding laptop speakers (in general) Dave2D recently uploaded an interesting video [0] where he compared MacBook speakers to best Windows laptop's ones that he had in the studio.

1. Interesting question, and I haven't seen an answer that refutes your point, except in disputing that the supply of ETH will keep shrinking.

2. I'd like to distinguish an increase of the money supply from inflation. They're not the same. You're talking about a decrease in the supply of ETH, here, not deflation.

3. Related: While the supply of BTC is currently growing around 1.7% p.a., I wonder how much is lost to lost keys. Has that been estimated somewhere?
So what you’re saying is you have no evidence for the claims of the post I responded to and so you want to pivot to some other narratives.
Saying insane a lot, pretty confident, and cherry picking some text to 'literally' dismiss the entire blog post with a single sentence that just serves to validate your flimsy reasoning doesn't make a good argument.

Well I'm from Portugal, where renewable power generation percent swings between the low 60's and the high 80's depending on the month and where we don't have any need for gas heating whatsoever. I also personally own and tend to 70 hectares of forest so I'm pretty willing to bet my carbon footprint is way way better than yours. According to your nonsense standard I should be a credible person to make this comment:

How will Germany solve base load generation for power and heating without nuclear or fossil fuels in a country with weather as shit as Germany? Some of your points are reasonable but they are mostly silly, especially without any discussion of the elephant in the room. Anything else is greenwashing garbage.

(lived in Frankfurt for a spell and will never go back. Nuclear-neutral, I dig it but whatever's cheapest is ok for me. Techno-positive on climate change. If you want to be ecological move somewhere tropical, live simple and never leave)
I've had the exact same experience when trying to connect my Airpods to my iPhone SE 2nd Gen. When I still used a Samsung S8 the phone would instantly connect to my Airpods. Same experience with Bluetooth headphones.
If anyone from Star Labs is here, I’d encourage a bit of a QA review of your site!
Let's assume that the stars don't go away when the repo is made private. There are a couple of options:

- The users can still see all their stars and find the private repo, which makes it not private.

- The users can't see all their stars, they can only see their stars for the public repos. There's no way to find or unstar a private repo that you starred while it was public. This would lead to the situation that if you unstar everything and make sure you have zero stars, you could wake up the next week with 1 starred repos, and then with 3 starred repos, because some repos went public again.

- The users can see all their stars, but the private ones lead to a 404, which would be perplexing for a greater number of people than the current behavior.

- All private repos that have been public at least once lead to a "this repo is now private" message, that would in practice allow anyone to make an index of all the private repos that were public at least once. And it would also allow anyone to know when a private repo that was private at least once is deleted.

I think the current behaviour is better than all of these options.
> Like maybe I'd rather Github figure out how to not have outages so frequently and how to not accidentally give people million+ dollar bills and such.

I doubt the engineers working on the stability issues or billing have anything to do with UX and vice versa. It's not like there's a singular focus that everyone at the company must prioritize above all else. Multiple people can work on multiple projects and not impact one another at all.
Would you consider submitting a patch?
As much as I dislike the general tone of the blogpost (as well as specifics like expecting special treatment (ie restoring a backup) in exchange for money when 1) Github doesn't offer that as a standalone service and 2) that wasn't already in their contract), I don't see how the example UI is anything but a straight improvement.
I can't tell you how much I've appreciated this interaction, especially on the Internet. Two people earnestly discussing a sensitive topic and nobody yelled or cussed or went H.A.M. Thank you!!!

eh, github kinda sucks.

they should fix this, or at least pull username lists for stars/follows and give them to the user for followup.

if the user self hosted, they'd pull from their own backups. instead they trusted a third party and helped contribute to that third party's success. now it's that very success that the user contributed to that stands in the way of help resolving the user's problem.

shrugging and saying sorry is kinda pathetic.

Gas and nuclear have one very important difference: Gas is among the technologies that allow adjusting generation the fastest, nuclear is the slowest.

To mix it with renewables, you need at least some reasonably fast capacity. How much of the gas generation capacity is baseload capacity that could be replaced with nuclear?
Perhaps NASA is backing this because they think there’s a good chance that at some point the launch facility will experience a RUD and they really want to be there to watch.
Interesting idea but what PII is stored with stars?
The 1930s were a horrible time, but had plenty of beautiful utopian visions of the future.

That's when communism and fascism were sparring with democracy in Europe, China had the Kuomintang and CCP visions, the Soviet system was new, and so on. There was a lot of interesting political thought.

If light rail were put up on it, the value of the adjoining real estate would suddenly go way up and the density would appear.

Yes, it's on the "wrong" side of 405 from the downtown area. About a 10 minute walk (I've done it). Oh, the agony :-) But it's on the "right" side if you want to go to the hospital, or Whole Foods, or any of the other businesses there.

> There's also the problem that the old rail is just one set of tracks, and so another set would be needed anyhow.

Not necessarily. With modern technology, one set can service both directions safely. I'm also sure adding a track will cost <<< less than adding a new right of way and a new road bed and two tracks.

> Of source the original set would need to be replaced due to age.

I'm sure that replacing a set of tracks is far less costly than blasting a new right of way, making a road bed, and putting new tracks on it.

> And there's the Wilburton trestle, which would have to be ditched and replaced for pretty much the same reasons.

Or it could be - maintained.

Another person said it couldn't be done because a station would have to be added here and there at incredible cost. Of course, the only thing a station actually needs is a slab of raised concrete. I tend to be amazed at the monumental structures Seattle Transit likes to build as stations.
I used an older Chromebox as my desktop. If you get the decent ones, it's an Intel laptop cpu with decent (but not heroic) cooling and performs as you would expect from that. I don't think you get any controls for ram timings or voltage control, and generally the storage slots are very short, so you have limited options. It's great as a low cost, no bs, small form factor platform, but if you want performance and can go bigger, desktop chips will run laps around it.

For network routing, I don't think I've seen a chromebox with two nics, so you need to be OK with USB networking or single nic routing (which can still be useful depending on the details).

Video conferencing isn't that hard these days, the iGPU handles video encode/decode and you're done.
I agree with you regarding POW but my understanding is that POS has nontrivial security issues. But, again, I agree there's this disconcerting disconnect between efforts toward crypto bandwagoning and efforts to implement something better.
Yes, it's (a little bit) stateful.

The GPT-3 mode constructs a prompt with some hardcoded QAs + your latest QA + your current Q. So it's as if you're talking with a bot that "remembers" your previous QA, but not further than that.

There's also other stateful aspects, for example avoiding repetition within a session. In scripted mode the spirit has a "rage" attribute that is affected by your inputs. Something happens if you make it really angry.
>Media started glossing over Nazi imagery on the very pictures of soldiers they spread, not even mentioning it.

I think they genuinely didn't know what it was. Even on r/ukraine, they were promoting those picture at the beginning. It doesn't look like any of the more common nazi symbols and and it doesn't have any text on it that you can google.

It was quite interesting to see journalists using those pictures in their articles talking about how there was no nazi problem in Ukraine.

It's a logical argument with one premise - that fewer people used the

further proof.

Cameco could easily restart Rabbit Lake and McArthur River. Supply is no issue. Claiming that mining uranium is an "ecological disaster" is disingenuous. It's not excessively dangerous relative to other mining operations.

Your argument seems to be that there are other solutions that aren't blockchain, which I can't deny. That's true of any solution to most problems, and it neither invalidates the original proposed solution nor lessens its usefulness.

Blockchains create a completely transparent, decentralized ledger. If you don't see any novelty or potential value in that, then that's fine. As far as life is concerned, one's opinion on blockchains should probably fall pretty low on the priority list. I suspect we at least agree on that.

I'm not going to get involved in a slanging match, but I refer you to one of the sentences in the "Definitions" part of the "Liberal International Order" given by you as a reference to the 'rules-based order': They note that the LIO is not synonymous with a "rule-based international order", ...

Hence my original comment still stands. Whose rules? Where are they written? Where can I (or anybody else) get to read these rules? Or are they made up on the fly, according to the whims of the moment or the wave of a hand?

Laws are made for a reason. They are put down in black and white for a reason.

There is a very old saying: "If there are no Rules of the Game, then people will make up their own rules."

But there are Rules of the Game, it's called the UN Charter as laid down in the 1940s. The trouble is that some people think that they can comply with the UN Charter only when it suits their own purposes. And do their own thing whenever the UN Charter interferes with their desires.
>Right, but censorship can only happen at the state level.

False. Censorship can and does happen at the twitter/facebook/youtube/reddit/wikipedia level all the time. It's the main reason there are alternatives to all of them. They tend to call it "content moderation" but that's just newspeak for censorship. Real content moderation would be limited to spam removal and child porn. What all the big tech companies do is censorship.
Or we can possibly be wrong for any number of reasons. It's not like we haven't before taught millions of people complete nonsense on the basis of some dug up teeth.
