Yes. I think this is an important distinction, freedom to do something is still important even if the majority don’t do it.

Opposition to abortion by the american evangelical protestant polity was a deliberate political choice, and it’s younger than the happy meal.

from a 1979 issue of Christianity Today on contraception and abortion — in Billy Graham’s magazine for editor Harold “the battle for the bible” Lindsell:

God does not regard the fetus as a soul, no matter how far gestation has progressed. The Law plainly exacts: “If a man kills any human life he will be put to death” (Lev. 24:17). But according to Exodus 21:22-24, the destruction of the fetus is not a capital offense. … Clearly, then, in contrast to the mother, the fetus is not reckoned as a soul.

10 years later, everyone acted like it was never said.

Inerrancy and plain meaning for me, but not for thee, indeed.
Yeah, but then I'd need to create and maintain a lot of org accounts.
> What does this mean?

so the particular use-case was for a sampler. we had a bunch of different samples that had their own domain parameters, which needed to be automatable. hell, even multi-sample sample selection (the process of choosing which samples of a multisampled sample-set to use) was automatable. it was hell.. aha.

that said, i envisenged a few other scenarios although they mostly revolve around variable IO (e.g. variable numbers of sidechained inputs, etc.)

> I'm way more dubious about genuinely dynamic parameters.

you're right to be. the approach i came up with was a conceptually a mess - although i guess it worked - the dynamic portions of automation could be mapped basically the same way that one routes audio in the daw. you have, say, 10 automatable gain parameters visible to the host, then in the plugin you'd route that to your chosen parameter.

no joke, there was the question of making the parameter mapping itself automatable. i told them it was impossible and i would die on that hill, which is technically not a lie.

Hasn't this become true to some extent, though? We have a nontrivial amount of people making a living off their YouTube channel, or their Twitch streams, or their Patreon patrons, or Kickstarter, that didn't have access to a global audience 10 or 20 years ago.

Even I had moderate success developing videogames in the early 2000s that were definitely part of the long tail; my CG book and my multiplayer articles have found a global if very niche audience. Some of my other projects, like the novel or the movie, haven't, but it's more about their quality and my marketing skills than about not having access.
Well, washing eggs nor refrigerating pre-purchase cannot be standard, because it's pretty much forbidden:

"4.3. Washing of eggs

The practice of washing eggs of class A for human consumption is forbidden by the European Union legislation."

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:52...

Class A eggs are basically the only type you'd buy for consumption. I, for one, have not once found Class B eggs in a store. AFIK Class B are used in food manufacturing only.
It would look about the same:

https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets#more-plant-based-d...

The article that I linked above looks at how much cropland we'd need to feed the entire world population if we gave up on farming animals completely. It turns out that we would end up with about the same amount of cropland, but that's only to match the current production in calories (and nothing else). Assuming the human population continued to grow, we'd have to use even more land to grow crops.

There is of course a lot of pasture that could be turned back to forest, or left to turn back to forest, on its own. But not all pasture is ancient forests. I have no idea how much forest we would regain by ceasing to feed animals on pature.
Ehh, I think that’s not correct at all?? Plenty of teenagers drink visibly in public here all the time. Normal bars, shops and restaurants never check IDs and drunk teenagers on the train are a common sight.

And as other comments have said, almost any train late at night will have drunk adults as a pretty significant percentage of the passengers.
Instead of resorting to abuse and name-calling, let's hear your proposal for the kind of data-protection legislation you favour. Surely you're not advocating the ideas of the terminally-dim Nadine Dorries?

The simple fact is that if you allow unrestricted export of personal data from Europe to the USA, then European law can no longer control what use is made of that data, because the US courts won't enforce European restrictions. Are you advocating for Europeans to submit to the wild-west regime in the USA?

By the way, if you don't care to read my posts, you can always just not read them; they are all tagged with my handle at the top.
No, but it could make the difference between a poor attack and a very effective attack. The point being that subways are particularly vulnerable points.

Do you think that all maps and other forms of architectural or engineering schemas should be widely publicised, without individual regard to their potential for exploit?
The article completely fails to mention that religious people tend to believe that humans have a "soul" and animals don't, which seems to me to be a massive oversight. Of course Dawkins doesn't believe in the soul, but it's hard to see how his arguments are going to move anyone who does believe.

The other problem with the argument is that, on the other side, many vegans believe that killing animals for food is wrong.

I strongly agree with one of Dawkins’s most important points, the effectiveness of the reductio ad absurdum as a rhetorical strategy.

If you want to persuade people, then you need to meet them where they are and adopt their way of thinking. Accept their premises and worldview, and show that it leads to bizarre, false consequnces.
I wonder how many seconds it will take on a certain Youtube channel..
Plugging such an "advanced 6502" into a traditional home computer design would break pretty much all games and scene demos, because those depend on "hard realtime" behaviour of the whole system down to single clock cycles (this is also why cycle-correct emulators are slower than emulators with less strict timing requirements - a cycle correct emulator can only take shortcuts for behaviour that doesn't "leak" into the rest of the system).

Yes, but this law comes from the "ideal" of having many children (who then become soldiers) not some unidological administrative process.
I’m playing with it. After giving it my name, it correctly stated that I moved to Poland in Summer ‘08, but then described how I became some kind of techno musician. I run it again and it says wildly different stuff.

I have to say playing with GPT3 has been a mind blowing experience this week and you should all try it.

The most striking point was discovering that if I give it texts from my own chats, or copy paste in RFPs, and ask it to write lines for me, it’s better at sounding like a normal person than I am.
I'm contrasting between your example, which uses a fully grown human, against pregnancy which is significantly different. The law already views minors and 18+ as distinctly different due to developed cognitive abilities so I'm making a similar point here for those reading the comment thread.
> even some of the aggregators (e.g. Netflix) have their own struggles.

Netflix’s stock price is still pretty high considering their product.

Disney market cap is $180B, Comcast is $180B, Netflix is $85B, Warner Bros Discovery is $35B. Fox/Viacom/Paramount are in the $15B to $20B range. Everyone else is much smaller.

Disney and Comcast have other businesses than selling media, and Disney has particularly strong brands. Netflix’s content does not seem much more compelling than HBO’s (Warner Bros Discovery), but it does have global presence.
I don't think this lends credence to the claims he was murdered at all — As the article states: the body hasn't been released because of the ongoing / unresolved legal case.

Because of this, releasing the body — so it can be buried or cremated — would be tantamount to destroying evidence.

So what choice do the Spanish authorities have given such a situation? The ball seems firmly in the court of McAfee's widow's legal team, AFAICT.
If you don't know, or can't prove, when personhood establishes, then there's at least some chance you are, in fact, killing a person. In my estimation the abortionist doesn't care about the possibility of killing a person because there are no consequences for it.
My major problem with Julia is that writing performant code is a bit like writing Haskell.

You need deep understanding of the compiler to know what constructs will mess up performance. Especially how typeinfo is propagated.

GitLab is sure not a replacement for GitHub, it has way more limits even for public repositories, and you have to go through a complex application process for Open source projects so you can get full features.

So its either small community hosting like Codeberg.org or independent hosting, which both hurt a projects discoverability and ease to contribute.
When I tested for this type of thing last year, I found GPT-3 produced real-looking phone numbers, but nothing correct. But it would certainly produce factual information sometimes.

Well it's not the first, or last time Crypto has crashed. It seems that a lot of companies have already invested in some form of crypto related metaverse, one company even changed their name, Meta.

If there is money to be made, and clearly there is, it will live on in some form - just needs to shake some of that bad reputation and sliminess along the way - or at least superficially present it as more legitimate.
Nobody thinks abortions are contraception. Women and other people who can get pregnant are smarter than that.
Thanks, yeah, did a big search for DT stuff this morning and found this one. The S/Z is the zero/successor. I need to study it. Perhaps closer to what I originally saw was this https://gist.github.com/bradphelan/26c0e84197092620359a (edit: it's not closer. Still worth a peruse though)

I need to sit and read and butt heads with these if I can find the time.

It's so odd there are so few examples of C# DT. The one good one I found a year ago seems to have disappeared. Maybe a conspiracy?

Looking forward to Idrisizing or Agdicating some time!
There is a long tail and consumers get a lot of value from that long tail. But I don't wholly disagree that--in addition to the creators in the long tail not making much--the aggregators can make relatively little from it either compared to the blockbusters on the left hand side of the curve.

So I think the observation that a long tail exists was absolutely correct but the claim of financial value from it is a mixed bag. (Anderson was also largely incorrect in his claims about the end of theory. https://www.wired.com/2008/06/pb-theory/ )
I might not be interpreting this correctly; can you unpack your argument for why this wouldn't cover the HangPrinter? Is it because the motion-control base stations disposed below the aerial hoist can control linear translation of the end-effector not only in the x-y plane defined by the x-axis and the y-axis, but also in the z-axis? Do patent claims work like that?

I don't see how you could build a cable-suspended 3-D printer without including all of these elements.
I got the email on Friday telling me I'm one of the fortunate few to get $550 and cynically thought that it was some sort of GitHub credit; needless to say that I was pleasantly surprised that it was actual cash!

I've been solo maintaining my project since 2008 and average about ~425,000 downloads/week per NPM. My sum total of donations prior to GitHub's was maybe $5. Making money on a JavaScript library was certainly never my goal but I sincerely appreciate the acknowledgement that my project has worth that someone is willing to pay for.
The map is not the territory, you should contrast ideas with realities to see how that is playing out in smaller scales, to have a hint on how it could end in the biggest one.

One of the most urgent planetary problems right now is climate change, and the closest we have to world government are US and EU, the first denying and boicotting global measures against it since the 90s, the second taking back their pledges as they is some struggle in their gas and oil inputs.

Unless you have a god, aliens or a perfect AI (the usual saviors/unifiers in fiction, and we might be as far from the third than from the first one) as government, humans will still go for their own good, in their own scale, with big players pursuing their own benefit influencing whatever is in the global government.
Dawkins says that we "need to persuade" them.

But he's wrong. We're the majority. They managed to change the law, even though they are a minority. This cannot stand.

If they want to change the law, then THEY need to persuade US. That's supposed to be how it works.
For others who might not have seen it, here's what the Lockpicking Lawyer had to say about that.

He picked a lock with the same concept by swighton (Stuff Made Here), but exploited a flaw that had nothing to do with the mechanism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ecy1FBdCRbQ

I think one problem here is that the more complicated you make a locking mechanism, the more you suffer by increasing the attack surface with other potential flaws or just the lock being physically weaker (i.e. smashable).

Kinda like how the most advanced cryptography is usually broken because someone made an error in the complexity of implementing it.
This particular one doesn't do WiFi, just ZigBee...they have a separate bridge box for that.

It is a fairly pricey choice for what it's doing...$5-6 per piece for single unit purchases.
I did my first internship at 42 Paris where they manage the whole 42 network.

On my first day, a colleague showed me a room filled with desk chairs that were from the Fremont campus and said I could bring one at home if I wanted to (which I didn’t).

Also, a lot of cameras and computers were allegedly stolen by students or returned to Paris unusable when the campus closed.
I never thought I had trauma, but this has been my exact experience with labeling, and I’ve recently begun working with an IFS therapist as well.
It meant the client was expected to then make a request to refresh their session token.

Because of the middle layer sending a 403 instead of the API, clients would request refresh tokens in an infinite loop.
I think this article is skirting around the edge of the issue. Yes, we need to make people more willing to enter adulthood. Yes, adulthood has more responsibilities which should be more privileges. The problem is that we're granting privileges in society without the associated responsibility.

Only a fool would assume responsibility when there's no benefit or requirement to do so. This is the society we've created for people. They're only just using it to their advantage, and I can't blame them.

Instead of drinking, driving, voting, etc... Being conveyed at an age perhaps there's some other meaningful metric that could be used in combination with a minimum age.

One idea I've considered, but not fully, is the idea of being able to vote only if you pay taxes. The adage was "no taxation without representation" but what we've constructed is "representation without taxation" in a large portion of the population.

Despite all the uproar over anything federal in the US, governance is still primarily at the state and local levels. Since nearly everyone pays some sort of state or local tax (income, sales, property, etc...) Voting would remain intact for nearly everyone at the level that really matters. The federal level it would not be as the number of tax payers is a lot less because it's primarily income based.

Obviously this isn't a fully fleshed out idea, but putting an incentive to monetarily participate in society needs to be strong one. With no skin in the game, so to speak, you have no incentive to consider both the collective good with your own good.
I don't know the statistics, but I've never encountered bone splinters in any meat I've ever eaten in the US.

As for the universities, it's not like I made this up. I'm well aware of the broad differences in quality of education (and futhermore, healthcare) here, but my comment wasn't about me and this is not an invention of mine, it is a widely held belief: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAGerman/comments/ay5nrs/which_un...

I also didn't say "there are no choices", so I don't know who you're quoting here. What I was trying to explain is the European worldview being applied to the US, where there is much vaster inequality between universities, products, income, etc. I didn't attempt to make a value judgement about it, I was trying to show a common pitfall of Europeans arriving in the US: it's important that you know where you're shopping, it's important that you know where you're going to school, and it's important that you know what neighborhood you're in. In Germany, you don't need to know what neighborhood you're in: they are all roughly the same in terms of crime.
> lack of individual identifiers beyond usernames, like avatars and signatures from a typical internet forum of the day.

I wonder if this is done on purpose, to nudge people into thinking of individual users not as people but as voices of a "hivemind".

Even today, usernames are de-emphasized in the UI in contrast to names of threads or subreddits. That's most prominent on the front-page ("r/all") where posts don't show the usernames at all, only the names of subreddits - producing the odd impression that the subreddits are authoring the posts and not individual users within the subreddit.

HN's UI is sort of similar on the first half: Users are de-emphasized here as well, but there are no subreddits to emphasize instead. Though I think it would be interesting if someone made an alternative frontend for HN that presented threads in the style of an old web forum, with user identities shown prominently

I think it works frightenly well sometimes. Ask yourself:

- How many engaging conversations have you had on HN in the last year?

- How many people do you know on HN?
You can patent anything (https://patents.google.com/patent/US6368227B1/en) and the barrier to having it granted is incredibly low. The patent office works on the premise of granting the patent and letting the lawyers figure it out afterwards. Enormous volumes of nonsense patents are granted every year, "inventors" who then go forth and try to remora off actually innovators.
I am now eager to see it running on neuralink
Good interview. He seems like a level-headed guy. One of his questions is why does Google keep terminating their AI ethics experts?
My only issue with the staunch anti-abortion stance is that there have been women who have died because the doctors couldn't decide quickly enough whether an abortion was medically necessary, or outright refused anyway. There have been politicians who have espoused the opinion that ectopic pregnancies also have a "right to life" even though it is physically impossible for them to be viable, and cannot be implanted into the uterus to the best of my knowledge. It also opens the possibility that women who have a legitimate miscarriage may be scrutinized as if they were criminals, adding to their trauma.

There is no easy answer there. I will say this - in no other situation is it even tenable to force a person to use a part of their body to keep another person alive. Even corpses have autonomy - if the person decides when they're alive that they don't want to be an organ donor, we cannot in good conscience then take their organs anyway. Should pregnant women have less autonomy than a dead body?
Holy fucking ignorance. As if you walk into a clinic, they wave a wand across you and you're done. It's mentally and physically traumatizing.
That's going to be a huge problem going forward. The whole parler thing from last year has me afraid because it showed how corporate america can collude together to remove you from society if you piss them off. In this specific case it happened to a bunch of assholes who probably deserved it, but in general this is extremely dangerous because of how much power is vested in private entities that have no public accountability.

I'm personally of the opinion that, with respect to net neutrality, "service provider" should be interpreted as liberally as possible so that CDNs, hosts and SaaS platforms are subject to it instead of just companies that provide layer-3 internet access. And maybe the law should even be expanded so that it applies to financial institutions.

A person unwilling to learn how to use their tools won't be able to use them with optimal efficiency. Does this have anything to do with Julia, specifically?
Evidence, no, that's why I wrote "potentially". This idea is extrapolated from something that already happens though - if people know plan B is easily accessible, they're not as regular with taking a daily pill as they'd be otherwise. Even though in practice that means higher risks. This I heard directly - don't know if there's any study.

The whole idea is not about making a conscious, calculated choice. It's about how comfortable you become with certain risk. It's on the same level as: if we start advertising how safe airbags are, would we see the average speed get a tiny increase nationally.
And how precisely did you arrive at your little "estimation"?

How many so-called "abortionists" did you interview? How did you gather your data on what they "care" about?

GDPR is the "digital TSA", a huge overbearing law that gives people the illusion of security without actually delivering on such a promise. In classic EU/world government fashion, it's a neat-sounding concept but is totally impractical to enforce. People think "oh I can just click this button to delete my data" but your data is likely not being deleted, it's just anonymized. Technically, someone can still trace all of that data back to you if they felt like it.
Well hell awaits for the killers. So there's that
Fantastic! That means they at least have made _some_ ethical editorial decisions, and didn't conform to some naïve conception that all information should be widely publicized regardless of the potential for adverse effects.
But in religions that believe in original sin and potentially heaven with life choices as well as conception being the moment of a soul's existence? Because that's the one we're actually dealing with.
