> -- shooting the messenger, casting doubts on his motivations -- and most people were rightly appalled by the spying going on on Americans.

Yes, shooting the messenger and casting doubts on his motivations were (and are) tactics used when a message reflects poorly on someone or some thing.

For what it is worth, in my comments around here, I'm not using these tactics as a way to deflect criticism away from institutions that Snowden criticizes. There was a huge breach of public trust in the NSA.

At the same time, it is interesting and important to understand Snowden's motivations.
I have been to Korea. I'm not Asian and was born & raised in the US. I'll just say: I think this is an odd take. I don't agree w/most of his conclusions.

In the very first line, he says "Seoul is not a pretty town." I live in San Francisco, conventionally thought of as a pretty place, and I would say: I think Seoul was pretty. It wouldn't have occurred to me to say it wasn't.

Go back and look at the article again. The first few photos, showing commercial and chintzy/cheap shop districts - that's as ugly as Seoul gets. That's what passes for 'urban blight' there. Now go to your city, and take a few photos of urban blight, the ugliest city areas you can find. I'll bet you, easily, that in terms of beauty, Seoul wins that competition hands down.

As an American, what really strikes you about Seoul is how clean and well-run it is. Related, you also notice how polite and pleasant it is: no one screaming, either randomly at nothing, or at you, to get in line or do things a certain way or whatever (something I noticed when I flew from Seoul airport back to USA airport, and immediately some worker was yelling at us to get in the baggage line). There's no piles of trash that have been forgotten for weeks, there's no neglected areas that are just falling into worse and worse disrepair.

The overall feeling is this. Have you ever thought, "Why can't everyone just be reasonable and nice?" Seoul is a place where it feels like that came true; if you want to know what that would be like, go there. So it's 'pretty' (without question, to me) in the way that a building or an office is pretty, that people work to keep clean and crisp and well-organized. That's a form of beauty which Seoul has in spades.

Also: the thing about "but there's no religion" is a cheap shot, and apparently untrue, as someone else has pointed out (Seoul has the largest churches in the world by attendance). There are more cute things, but that's neither here nor there; I totally disagree that Hello Kitty has replaced Jesus, if that's the implication. People like Hello Kitty type images & toys there, but it's an overstretch to pretend like Hello Kitty is their God, or something equally ridiculous.

I think either end of the spectrum is fine: highly skilled / can do your job if needed, or not technically skilled at all / honest about it / tracks schedule / delegates all technical authority. The messy middle is where the problems happen.

I wonder if you could ever make an ML model that could give you a reasonable estimate of the risk of taking an action would be.

"If I'm in a low-crime neighborhood on a normal temperature day, what is the risk that leaving my children in a car for 10 minutes with a window cracked and the doors locked will lead to my children being injured, kidnapped, or killed?"

The risk isn't nonzero (kids left in cars do, at some frequency, get injured, kidnapped, or killed) but it's probably far smaller than other risks people accept (such as driving the car around with the kids in it, or walking tired kids through the parking lot while also pushing a cart).

It would be great if we had such things, because it seems like people don't actually have good judgement for risks (understatement). My guess is huge parts of our day involve taking actions we think make us safer, but in fact do not.

I didn't edit my comment, at least not from what I remember. May have been a typo fix in the first few seconds though, which I do a bit too often.

Not sure if my comment was clear, but I was referring to "hard problems with trick solutions were called Jewish Problems", which sounds like it's referring to the Final Solution.

Reminds me of a funny anecdote, I was staying with a friend of mine in Berlin and asked her what the second most common religion was in Germany. She casually said "used to be Jewish, but not sure now..." She was of course referring to the influx of refugees from Africa, but for a very brief moment it looked like her life flashed in front of her eyes.

Where did the 8GB number come from? The discussion was about 16GB.
My M1 isn't even full of cat hair like my x86 MBP, because it never needs to run its fan.

The x86 MBP was stuck in a vicious cycle of getting overheated, running the fan all the time at high speed, sucking up enormous amounts of cat hair, and jamming up the motherboard and cooling vents: the hotter it got, the faster the fans ran, the more cat hair it sucked up, the worse the cooling and more snuggly warm the insides got, the more attractive it was for the cat to sleep next to.
Why are you so negative about this? It works pretty well as an authentication mechanism. Unlike passwords, it can't be leaked or phished.

The first step of any Rust project is to decide if you really need to use Rust.

If you control the hardware, then you need to compare the dollar cost of using a GC language and just throwing more hardware at the problem, vs the dollar cost of using Rust and throwing more developer time at the problem.
Because it's a lot cheaper to bury it in bedrock, and it's just as safe. The scenarios in which underground storage lead to contamination are borderline hyperbolic: some sort of collapse leads society to lose all records of waste storage locations, some future society miraculously decide to dig right where the waste was buries, and lastly said future society is too dumb to realize the waste is poisonous (yet advanced enough to dig through a kilometer of bedrock).

Google tells me the Timurids were Mongol descendents of Genghis Khan, so not really. 100% of that relevant data set is one extended family.

>What is it with that area and producing psychopathic tribes, not to mention being the origin point of several plagues.

The Mongols were little more "psychopathic" than many societies at the time, only distinctive in terms of their relative success, not their cruelty. Alexander the Great tortured and slaughtered people by the thousands, and Westerners don't consider him a barbarian or psychopath so much as a tactical genius and founder of the civilized world.

In my experience, you are correct. In the wrong organization, you are eventually given so many "other" responsibilities, that you barely get to do any hands-on development work. You'll be doing code reviews, support, and documentation all day.
Yes, the military-industrial complex's gravy train benefits both parties.
Of course, just the phrasing made me think the "trick solution" was eugenics, not a university admission trick. Unfortunately, historically "Jewish question" or "Jewish problem" has referred to these concerns [0]. Of course, following your first link it seems like the native phrase for it is in no way better, but that seems predictable as it's stemming from a racist premise in the first place.

Can I ask? Did you read those three papers carefully before linking them?

I'm asking because a scientific paper's purpose is to make one or more claims (but usually one central claim), that are supported in the paper by theoretical and empirical results. It is hard to know whether any particular claim is true, even when reading the paper carefully and scrutinising, or even attempting to replicate, its results - let alone otherwise.
The "kludges" joke he shows in the index of a lisp book is excellent.
There is currently no efficient process for going from the oxide to the metal. The only processes used at scale involve reducing titanium chloride with more reactive metals (sodium or magnesium). They are batch processes and there are significant waste issues and inefficiencies having to consume a more reactive metal to make the metallic titanium.

Reducing aluminum chloride with sodium is how aluminum was produced before direct electrolysis, and it too was a much more expensive process: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_aluminium#Early_ind...

A company named Metalysis has been working on an electrolytic process starting with oxide for a long time: https://www.enterprise.cam.ac.uk/news/metalysis-successfully...

The articles are dead or just impossible to find now, but at the time I recall reading about a vicious intellectual property fight between the Metalysis founders and some of the other researchers who had worked on it at Cambridge. My take was that Metalysis won the IP fight but the people who lost had better hands-on knowledge of how to make the process work, so everyone lost in the end. Metalysis took forever to actually offer titanium powder as a product even though it was "almost ready" for a decade.

The other issue affecting Metalysis product, which might have persisted even if not for the IP fight, is that it has more trace oxygen in it than titanium made in the traditional batch processes. This is important because titanium loses ductility at even low levels of oxygen incorporation.

CdTe panels (popular in US for mainly political reasons -- consider importing Si panels from Tblisi instead!) are likewise very recyclable: the 8 g/m^2 of cadmium are bonded to glass and overlaid with tellurium, both valuable and much more easily separated industrially than from native ore.

There would of course be no public interest in "holding" used-up wind turbine blades because they are not a public health hazard. If you were obliged to hold them anyhow, it would be super-cheap for that same reason, so would not add any to the cost of turbines.

By contrast, in addition to the expense of handling nuke waste, we are all subsidizing every nuke via indemnifying it against every conceivable disaster. We are obliged to do this because buying disaster insurance would push the price of nuke operations far, far outside even traditional marketable-cost envelopes.

Meanwhile, renewables + storage now cut way, way under traditional costs, such that nothing else is even conceivably competitive anymore, most places. In places where solar and wind are not locally practical, it is becoming similarly impossible to compete, in predictable near-future scenarios, with importing synthetic fuel from more favorable sites e.g. in the tropics.

(There are of course exceptions, such as where geothermal is already in place, but even there expanding geo is a hard sell. Steam turbines always require expensive periodic maintenance.)

No, the SEC agreement directly addresses this. Section 5.11 ("Parent" and "Acquisition Sub" is Musk, "Company" is Twitter):

> Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub has conducted, to its satisfaction, its own independent investigation, review and analysis of the business, results of operations, prospects, condition (financial or otherwise) or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. In making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, each of Parent and Acquisition Sub has relied solely on the results of its own independent review and analysis and the covenants, representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement

So, in essence:

1) Musk has been afforded the opportunity to address any concerns he has with Twitter

2) Any concerns of Musks have been satisfactorily resolved by Twitter

3) In determining said satisfaction, Musk is relying on his own judgement and analysis, and is not relying on any analysis by Twitter.

There is absolutely 0 ground to his complaints today and claiming he "isnt being given the information hes been asking for" or that "I was going off your numbers but I want to run my own".

Made a four page list of the really weird symptoms I had. Visited 3 dozen doctors. One Neuro-ophthalmologist read the list and asked if I had dry eyes.

I said no. He did a tear test that I failed. My eyes had been dry so long I stopped noticing.

Declared I had Sjogrens. Later testing by a rheumatologist confirmed it. Treatments showed immediate improvement.

20 years from my initial compliant. 3 years intense appointments and doctors dismissing me as a hypochondriac.
Normal diagnosis time for Sjogrens is 7 years. Though that is improving

I haven't downvoted you, and won't, but I might gently offer the observation that you are perhaps just a wee bit strident. By which I mean that after a half-dozen of your comments on this thread, I am now basically translating them all as "the web is super duper amazing and full of rainbows and everything is wonderful on it except for some poopyheads who don't do everything that the great Google demands and also you tired jerky jerky relics who think there's a place for native apps which haven't advanced since 1970 OMG I bet you people are all using black-and-white CRTs get with the program."

Yes, and it doesn't have to be that dramatic either. Even relatively small shifts in public opinion can matter when it comes to specific areas and/or legislation and/or funding.

It seems probable at this point we're going to have ML that can pass every test at fooling humans without ever addressing the meaty issues people like to grapple with. That is, we can build statistical models that are indistinguishable from reality up to some detailed level of inspection. But as far as anybody can tell, they have none of the properties that we normally associate with humans, such as free will, consciousness, or agency (btw, I don't think humans have any of those things to the extent that they are physically definable).

Once we get to that point we can start asking more interesting questions, such as "why are we so biased by our mental models of how our mental models work when thinking about intelligence?"
I see they are trying to push a narrative here, but they picked a weak example. Wu Zetian started in a harem of some Chinese emperor, but climbed to the top, captured the throne and ruled for 15 years officially (and who knows how many years before that unofficially). She wasn't shy of killing her own newborn for a timely political move, and obviously wasn't constrained by morals in her climbing after that.

And Genghis Khan was just a powerful savage who wiped out entire chinese cities who dared to defend themselves. His take on chinese civilization was that it was occupying land that could be used to grow grass for his horses.
It has a processor, ram, storage, video output, Bluetooth and network connectivity. I'd say it's already fully functioning computer designed to do any computing task. Of course, manufacturer wants it to be a locked down appliance, but its predatory behaviour is not a reason to sheepishly accept the status quo.

And what you say about 'consciously designed ...' amounts to nothing meaningful. Have you seen what hardware people have been running Doom on?
> Paywalls offend me. The Internet exists to share knowledge with everyone across the world. You shouldn’t need a subscription, all you should need is an internet connection to access the world’s knowledge.

Then who the hell is going to pay for the people that write articles all day for you? What makes you entitled for free information? How will the writers pay their bills and raise their families? Either we can complain about advertisements or we can shut up and pay for things.

Now that's off my chest, I think there should be a pooled version of news sites. One subscription to rule them all. No, not Apple news or Google news+ or whatever. Something that is sort of like Patreon but for news sites. I am totally happy to pay up to $20/month for them all.

But I fundamentally and morally disagree with the author of this site. If they framed it as "No, we cannot have $120/month for 12 different news subscriptions, until that is resolved, we built a paywall solution". But, instead they feel entitled to access premium content that requires funding and financing to produce, for free.
