That's interesting. I have also been waiting for the resurgence and takeover of free software over non-free software for many years, so that we can inspect, modify and run the software freely without restrictions on our computers.

How did the point of "open-source" get hijacked so quickly by the tech bros who have also helped the surveillance capitalists agenda and exploit more of these free-software developers to the point where they end up working for the likes of surveillance capitalist big tech companies using open-source projects (and privately modifying it) for free to accelerate and speed up pushing their closed-source spyware?

I think maybe both of these concepts that many technologists have envisioned have become quite frankly hopelessly utopian and instead has helped pave another road to a dystopian hell.

> But the people in the soup kitchen see me serving the food. Anyone walking by might see me in the window.

The nuance here is that there's a difference being observed doing a kind act versus purposefully making it a public spectacle. I don't view people I observe doing something altruistic as self-seeking unless they try to "cash in" on it.

I would see someone helping a person in need and think "how kind of them!" But then later, if I see an Instagram post from that person saying "There was this person in need of help and I went over there and did something about it", then it can be seen as self-seeking.

Quick question, how did you setup the comment system that picks up comments from other platforms like Twitter and mastodon?

Me neither. I am not on it enough to care and increasingly I am seeing less and less value from Twitter, especially after learning that less than 10% of it is actually active and most of the noise is coming from a cluster of individuals who will build narratives that ultimately benefit them.
The issue is that it is the trumpet-sounding which enables the giving to the needy. Can’t have one without the other in this scenario.

"Passwordless" is a huge group.

Honestly, I personally like passwords. When using a password manager they are very secure and very convenient. Plus they are understandable, I know how to back them up, enter them in a different device and more. Everyone knows how they work and what to expect.

Magic links can solve problems for users that don't have a password manager set up, but can be less convenient for those who do. Assuming you allow password resets via email anyway it is more secure.

U2F/WebAuthn is much more secure but hard for users to manage right now. This is getting better with Apple, Google and Microsoft coming up with systems to sync the keys across browsers (as long as you stay within their ecosystem).

Client certs are the most secure but lack infrastructure to make it convenient. It has basically been obsoleted by WebAuthn.
In my neck of the woods these were very hard to come buy.

During the 80s, people mostly had 8-bit micros at home. And Windows 3.1 only appeared in the 90s.

why do you believe wealth or value is limited by natural resources? That hasn't been the case for a very long time.
I'd say the limiting factor on wealth is smart, productive people's time (given we are in the information age, and the bottleneck for value creation is specialized humans, not raw resources).
Web 3.0 was Also a name given to something that had already happened. It was the semantic web, with technologies like rdf, graph databases and such.

I’m sure the origin of “web3” as something related to crypto scams was entirely SEO. You could pitch your new scam-coin as “the new web tech” everyone is talking about and then link to a tach about Web 3.0 by Tim Berneses-Lee as if they had any anything at all to do with each other. Unfortunately the semantic web never truly matured to the point of widespread adoption, but crypto scams did.
Attack of the 50 Foot Blockchain by David Gerard is an excellent summary of the crypto landscape. The author takes the view (which I agree with) that crypto is a scam in its entirety, so there is a lot of ground to cover.

The book's only flaw is that it was published in 2017 so it misses all of the recent drama.

As someone who makes very weird and experimental stuff, DALL-E is like a Segway and CLIP is like a horse (especially with those edge cases that tend to self-engorge/get worse if you aren't clever). It's a shame compute costs aren't much different between the two (correct me if I'm wrong) - I don't think there is much of a purely artistic process with DALL-E, although I do like to use DALL-E Mini thumbnails as start images or upscale testers.

There was one difference between Amiga and Mac/Windows that was noticeable on the slow machines of the day: It was more responsive.

Not only did Amiga have preemptive multitasking. The window system ("Intuition") ran behaviour and redraw of apps' widgets in its own task, making them responsive even if the apps owning them were lagging.
Compare that to Windows 3.11 of the day, where the entire GUI would hang while waiting for an app to redraw anything in one of its windows.
“ That’s 33 consecutive weeks of more stocks making new lows than making new highs.

We have already been living through it.”.

This is a classic mistake people make when predicting the future: using historical prices.

Actually, the NeXTStep style was adopted by Windows 3.1 and that made it look subtly different from 3.0. Given the timing, I think the actual direct influence on Windows 3.1 was Motif, which in turn was inspired by NeXTStep.

When the NeXT was announced I thought it had been influenced by Randy Smith's (Xerox Parc) ARK (Alternate Reality Kit):

Everything in the Bible, including what Christians are supposed to be like, should be viewed through the lens of Jesus on the cross. The idea is that you are supposed to imitate Christ in your life for salvation which is reaching Heaven i.e glorifying God, the Father forever via achieving the Beatific vision.

So the "reward" in this case is you becoming one with Christ and thus closer to God. It's not a "currency" to be accumulated to attain Heaven. This is why you can't "fake" your way through it by for example donating money to the poor or the Church and thinking that will impress God.

I think what Christians say before receiving the Eucharist at Mass really summarizes this nicely: "Lord I am not worthy to receive you".

Wild guesses off of the top of my head:

* Time. A lot can happen in 40 years, new techniques are discovered and popularized, etc.

* Better tooling all around. Better languages, better IDEs, better libraries, etc. Anyone working today on a platform that has been hacked on for 40+ years is the beneficiary of all that work.

* More and better contributors. The number of people who had both the interest and the means to purchase an Atari computer in 1979 was necessarily limited. Since then, we've added another 3.7B people to the planet and a hell of a lot of them now have access to something resembling a computer. Most of them have grown up with the notion of a "programming language" being present in their world, something which wasn't necessarily commonplace 40 years back.

> it can be seen

I still maintain that it’s unfair to project the value judgement of the observer onto the observed, as if the observer is impartial in all of this. It can be seen that way, yes, but it doesn’t have to be. That is the observer’s choice.
The power grid is a very complex thing, and I strongly believe that demand management is an important component for stability. There are ways we could better organize our HVAC fleets to provide near-equivalent levels of comfort. The current proposals really suck though.

Storage is a big deal that seems to be the focal point of most of the renewable/non-renewable debate, but there are other concerns that are discussed less frequently.

Having sufficient inertia in the grid is important as well. It's like a low-pass filter for the desired grid frequency. The less equivalent spinning mass you have, the easier it is for these spikes to cause serious problems - Even if you have a gigantic reservoir of water ready to spin up some turbines, you still need to be able to handle all of the instantaneous events up to that point, during, and following.

The Harry Potter game was a little bit more complicated, I think PoGo was probably the simplest, at least at launch, I'm not sure what its like now, and other than being a super well-known IP is partially why it was successful IMO. I guess you could probably point to that also being one reason why the HP game wasn't as successful despite also being a popular IP. I haven't tried Pikmin Bloom.
Virtue signaling in the common parlance specifically refers to exposition for personal benefit. Ie, they don't act virtuously when the cameras are off

I think demonstration of virtue would be a better term without this connotation. EG being a role model.

The large amount of virtue signaling has poisoned the Well for people that simply want to promote good deeds and behavior.
True, we’re trying to produce bots that reliably do things (make people laugh) that humans can’t even do reliably. People who can feel out a room and use the right joke, or the right reassurance or whatever, are not even very common.

I interpret the Mike Tyson quote differently than you. What he was saying that under high pressure you _will_ throw stuff out of the window, namely all the stuff that doesn't work under pressure, in difficult situations. This is why plans need to be simple. You need to be able to keep them in your head when shit hits the fan so you don't start flailing around like a headless chicken.
Charlotte Uptown: Natural gas smell in town
Receiving the flowers is one thing. Then having a video shared about it is another thing. And even beyond that, the second can also affect the perception on the first: maybe you thought it was something random at first, but then you realize it wasn't.

It's not like something changed magically for no reason because humans are weird.
Virtue signalling is a term made up by a hard right libertarian propagandist writing for the spectator as a means of silencing progressive voices online. It’s a bullshit term for which we already had a perfectly good word: hypocrisy
Tech phrases that lost all their meaning
Yes, I have. Many times. Homes, office buildings, religious buildings, and other structures, including the SC Johnson campus in Wisconsin. They look great. They feel great. They work terribly.

The Johnson labs, for example, was designed to allow in lots of natural light through glass and glass block walls. Great for reading. Terrible if the people inside work with substances that react to light.

Again, great concept. Visually wonderful. But not well thought out.
It's operating on a boolean still though, here's an example - https://www.onlinegdb.com/tfHPZ_FOfY
The act itself is also shallow, flowers are meant more of a symbolic gift; I give my wife flowers maybe to express love but if I just gave some random person flowers on the street without any further explanation then I have simply given that person a dead plant. If the guy gave the lady something of actual value or that served a need, or even just made statement as to the meaning of the flowers it could have changed the dynamic. Further it is customary to ask someone (especially someone you do not know well) to accept a gift and to explain why the gift was given; there is a very good reason for this.
While I agree that this type of online content is questionable for the reasons said in this thread, the 'dehumanized' moniker is clearly sensational. No-one in that video has been dehumanized. This is rhetoric and nothing more. A person received an unsolicited gift and was filmed. If it was in a location where there is need of consent to be filmed by another party she can file a lawsuit. If it was in a location that doesn't require consent then them is the breaks and viewers of the video can make the conclusions of motives and ENDS for themselves.
It isn’t. A primary tenet of Christianity is to identify with Christ, mainly through suffering. Much the way a workout can be rewarding in and of itself (e.g. the runner’s high), the suffering of sacrifice can be its own reward if given in the correct mindset. What makes this possible for the Christian believer is the faith/knowledge that one’s sins have already _been_ absolved, so Heaven has already effectively been attained. So (now having a mindset of gratitude) the Christian believer is free to be charitable without the need for personal gain, for what more could the believer gain? Or what could he/she lose that would stain the gift already received?
It's also not their job to know what I'm using to view their website. If my browser misrenders the page, that's on me. There are zero reasons to put such checks in place and lock people out for sending a "wrong" user-agent string.

> If the Supreme Court does not hear a case, it is tacitly saying it agrees with the lower court's decision.

No, it's not, which is why denials of cert. do not elevate the lower court’s decisions to the precedential effect of a Supreme Court decision.

The Supreme Court takes a very limited share of the cases offered to it in its discretionary jurisdiction each term, and the factors involved in those decisions typically include whether or not there is a split between the Courts of Appeals on the question raised and the degree to which Court perceives the case to be one of national importance among other factors, the decision is not centrally about the merits of the case.

Also, Roe v. Wade was not the first abortion-law case to come before the Supreme Court, just the first to raise and be decided on the question of whether abortion itself was protected. Other challenges were on different grounds, e.g. U.S. v. Vuitch (1971) unsuccessfully challenging Washington, D.C.’s abortion law (which had maternal health exceptions) for unconstitutional vagueness. Most lawyers prefer to argue things which are established in law rather than novel theories (because trial courts aren't prone to accept novel theories, because clients get a lot better result being cleared by a trial court than exhausting appeals through the State and then appealing to the appropriate federal courts, and for other reasons.)
Totally. Note I don't think "all ideas are bad", it's just that the actual execution is often more important, even for good ideas.
