The Southern Poverty Law Center is ideologically committed to certain positions. If you read a poll sponsored by Breitbart, would you inclined to believe it? How about Media Matters?

Stick to organizations that do polling for a living.
I tried it - it’s okay, but a bit flaky - especially disconnect/re-connect. While it does _improve_ font rendering on sub-Retina displays, it’s still nowhere near as nice as font rendered on a display recognised as Retina-capable by MacOS - which any 4K display is. It’s particularly noticeable in the setup described above, as your eyes are constantly moving between the in-built Retina display and your external display.

It might be a good solution if you already have an, eg, 1440p display and want better font rendering, but if you’re putting together a setup from scratch, MacOS just works hassle-free with 4K displays. You’ve got to stare at these things for hours every day, so.
There's an order to show cause in Connecticut court, where he'll have to make a case for the court not sanctioning him for having the medical records from the CT case (to which he is not a party). So that drama is ongoing.

He claimed loudly and often for years; "at one point" makes it sound like an off-hand remark he made once or twice, but that's not really the case.

He started backpeddling the minute people filled suit, as any true man of principle fighting the bad guys would do.

For years he made factual claims about specific people that are demonstrably and provably untrue (i.e. that they're "crisis actors" who faked the lot), which does not fall under Free Speech, and did cause damages because several of Jones' followers did harass various survivors and family members with their bullshit.

> To faithfully reproduce such orchestra [...]

It has never been clear to me what the goal of home playback is supposed to be.

Let's simplify from a full orchestra to just a solo piano. Is the goal

1. to sound like it would if that piano was being played in my living room, or

2. to sound like what I'd have heard if I was there in the concert hall sitting in a good seat when the recording was made, or

3. to sound like what it would sound like if a replica of my living room was built inside the concert hall but with walls that do not transmit sound, with my speakers replaced by speaker-sized holes in the wall behind where the speakers normally sit, and I was sitting in that replica living room during the concert?
>There's no twist or turn of the law I can possibly imagine

If you're not a lawyer, this has 0 value. If you're not a highly paid team of several top lawyers, this has less than 0 value. Their entire profession is to spin circles around common sense or naive reasoning, so just wait and see. Law is harder than you think. Don't Dunning-Kruger your way into a highly complex domain, it never works.

>What kind of "surprise legal twist" do you think will happen over the next 2 months

By my own admission, I'm not a lawyer. So I don't understand why you think you or me can answer or predict this question better than those studying for decades and highly paid for months to think about it.
Per the NYT [1], "his and Free Speech Systems’ combined net worth likely fell between $135 million and $270 million."

So depending on what that split is, and how the court considers Free Speech Systems's worth in relation to him, that cap wouldn't necessarily apply.

C++ seems to have made some progress in the last few decades. Python improves on BASIC in some ways. Java, JavaScript, Swift, and Rust have memory safety like Lisp, PL/I and Ada did.

But I tend to agree - the biggest advances seem to be in hardware: now you can run Unix on an internet-connected watch, voice recognition/translation/automatic transcription on a mobile phone, and real-time ray tracing on a game console.
they shouldn’t have allowed it to be released to the public. there’s videos of people just driving terribly and impeding the flow of traffic in the name of ‘testing fsd’. This stuff has very real impact on the public and drivers around it. I don’t give a shit if tesla drivers want to push the limits of ai, but don’t do it on public roads. slow and erratic driving make things unpredictable and much more dangerous for everyone on the road, even if FSD isn’t actively causing accidents.
I think the difference between university and college in the US is very clear, it is just not widely known. A college can get you a bachelors degree, a university can confer a doctorate (I always assume masters degrees come along with university, but that is an assumption).
I'm working on a project that involves a customized version of some unclassified, non-intelligence software for a defense customer at my job (not my ideal choice of market, but it wasn't weapons so okay with it). Some of the people on the project come from the deeper end of that industry, with several TS/SCI contract and IC jobs on their resumes.

We were looking over some errors on the sshd log and it was saying it couldn't find the id_ed25519 server cert. I remarked that that line must have stayed even though the system was put in FIPS mode which probably only allowed the NIST-approved ECC curve and related this story, how everyone else has moved over to ed25519 and the government is the only one left using their broken algorithm.

One of the IC background guys (who is a very nice person, nothing against them) basically said, yeah the NSA used to do all sorts of stuff that was a bad idea, mentioning the Clipper chip, etc. What blew my mind is that they seemed to totally have reasonable beliefs about government surveillance and powers, but then when it comes to someone like Snowden, thinks their are a traitor and should have used the internal channels instead of leaking. I just don't understand how they think those same people who run NSA would have cared one bit, or didn't know about it already. I always assumed the people that worked in the IC would just think all this stuff was OK to begin with I guess.

I don't know what the takeaway is from that, it just seems like a huge cognitive dissonance.
There was also a cryptography startup later on called Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow (working on peer-to-peer stuff that I think is slightly akin to Filecoin).

The Fed is not printing money. The Fed is incapable of printing money. The Fed creates Bank Reserves. Bank Reserves are not legal tender, and cannot be spent in the economy directly. Reserves are used to create loans, which creates money.

Thanks for the clarification! The equivalent rule in the Texas RCP is 215.2(b)(5), "If a party or an officer, director, or managing agent of a party...fails to comply with proper discovery requests...the court in which the action is pending may, after notice and hearing...[render] a judgment by default against the disobedient party".
I had to use the warranty on my phone and they sent it in a small, no nonsense box that I also used to send the old one back. All it had was a little plastic slip and some cardboard to keep the phone from moving too much. Companies could absolutely design things with reusable packaging.
We need to fix the systems that allowed and made this decision in the first place or another stupid one will follow.

to be fair, whilst it's true the distinction is hugely important to US concepts of free speech, it's also true it's not necessarily as material as it might seem. The state is composed of people, who have the right to sue their critics for alleged slander/libel (quite a lot of political speech involves making adversarial claims about people or corporate entities which could theoretically be ruled as malicious and factually untrue). Politicians suing other politicians or critics is unusual rather than not permitted in the US, but in other places like Singapore tort law is used consistently against prominent critics. It's possible for civil courts to be consistently biased in favour of politically-connected individuals and companies and for the consequences for criticism of them to be financially ruinous, and possible for actual criminal speech offences in other jurisdictions to have [lower] purely financial penalties, stronger presumptions in favour of the defendant and more scrupulously independent judicial processes.

That is extremely frustrating. I use a "privacy" card (issued by privacy.com) to containerize my monthly subscription spend, as I don't feel comfortable with any company having the ability to charge my actual card (which is a legit card). I'm using one with YouTube TV. I'll be pissed if they suspend my account because of this. There has to be a better way.
I dabble in audio production in my free time outside of work, and I typically will use iZotope RX 9 or Neural Mix Pro for isolating vocals or stems. However, these are paid products, and it's encouraging to see more open source projects being built around this space.

Huge mess is an understatement.

Note that this box did not go to the moon, I don't think it would have been in the signal path(if I understand correctly it is a ground unit used to run unit tests on the radio transmission gear). Now as to whether similar loosely specified flipflops were in flight hardware, I have no idea.

I also will note that even the much vaunted Apollo guidance computer was a case of worse is better. The Saturn 5, now that had a proper flight computer(the LVDC), designed by IBM, redundant everything, A computer that could not fail. The AGC in contrast not only had no internal redundancy, it was designed to fail (in case of error the system could very quickly reboot and resume running it's program where it left off). However the trade off was that the AGC was half the weight and twice the speed as the LVDC and they could carry two of the things to get the reliability they wanted.

He claimed on the witness stand during the trial that the FBI was involved in the murders- and then later yelled at the mother that she was being manipulated by deep state agents.

Any suggestion that he's "admitted it was 100% true" are BS. He seems to be allowing (for now) that people really died and at least some of the families were not actors, which is an improvement, but he's not really caught up to reality yet.

A lot of the trial was spent trying to convince the jury that there was some ulterior motive behind the lawsuit, and he's been airing stuff suggesting that the judge and the plaintiff's lawyers are shadowy government agents.
> more complex than the analytical tools available in that society are capable of modeling

One would need to include non-public analytical tools, which are unfortunately not available for inspection.

There are different economic incentives for public and private tools of analysis and thought.

One modern equivalent would be export-controlled tools and technology, but there are many more onion layers.
Just curious: why is it that not one, but two people have responded in this thread as if it has anything to do with the title?
This is just the first of three trials, and he's already been found guilty in one of the other two (By failing to comply with discovery.)
Right came here to make the same point. The first lawsuit alluded to in the blog post title resulted in an important holding that source code can be protected free expression.
He said that the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax, it was fake, it didn't happen. They play portions of it in an interview with him here:

A quick way to stay in the economic loop
I believe that there's a market for large organizations to setup their own online schools that will teach what their employees need to know with out them having to have a college degree. That's how many companies used to function. They expected all their employees to have a high school diploma. Once they were hired the companies would do in house training and would finance some to get their college education as part of their benefits so they could fill spots that really need a specialized college degree. The FBI would fit well into this framework.

I think that by a large degree most software developers don't need a college degree to get their job done.

Why would he buy the company after the stock crashed? He could buy the company for way cheaper publicly. Who cares what the contract says, theres different rules for billionaires than there are for the contracts I sign. No sane person would go through with it after the stock crashed, its not a financially smart move. A lot of geniuses in this thread but lack basic social and common aptitude as usual. Life is not a fantasy, its corrupt and rich people can do what they want.
What is it about this trial that stands out to you? I can tell you it's a very unusual example of a civil trial in the US so I'm not sure how it is supposed to compare with a criminal trial in Russia.

Is there any backpressure in the system to make the employee(s) responsible for responding/signing off on the disclosure actually care about how expensive it is to fight a case? I would've thought they would think, "Well, the litigation cost doesn't affect me, I just approve/deny requests based on their merits."
Streisand effect is about information someone is trying to keep hidden. This kind of Twitter moderation fits neither half of that.

I don't want to fuss about what counts as "censorship" or not. That's not productive.
I don’t know if that’s easily quantifiable, but I had a cryptography professor (fairly well-known nowadays) several years ago tell us that she only trusted 7 people (or some other absurdly low number), one of them being djb, to be able to evaluate the security of cryptographic schemes.

Perhaps thousands of people in the world can show you proofs of security, but very few of them may be able to take into account all practical considerations like side channels and the like.
You're performing some kind of weird Russell's teapot applied to legal arguments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%27s_teapot

* "There's a good argument for Elon Musk's side of the case out there, floating between Earth and Venus if only you'd look at it".

* "Oh, I'm not an astronomer, you shouldn't expect me to point out this teapot to you or tell you where it is".

Okaaaaaaaay. But that's not how discussions work in practice. I put forth the best arguments I'm aware of, and you put for the best arguments you've thought of, then we both evaluate the evidence for ourselves. That's... normally how discussions work.

If you're not interested in the legal minutia, then you don't have to discuss them with me? I'm not saying I'm a perfectly good lawyer myself (indeed, I'm an engineer). But there's value in the struggle to understand these things, even things outside of my field.

----------

The legal arguments for this case so far, are actually really simple. You don't need to be a lawyer to understand:

1. That the Court of Delaware has been chosen.

2. That the judge (Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick) has been chosen. She has set the date on October 2022. Her history of cases is public and well known.

3. The contract in question is public, well known, and well discussed.

All of these items are publicly available to you and me. Maybe I'll get some facts wrong, as I struggle to understand the case, but we're not exactly in rocket-science level or PH.D levels of legal theory here yet.

You're seemingly trying to make some kind of weird... meta-Argument like this is too complicated to understand? But its actually really simple so far.
I've had a great experience with Autopilot. It does what's advertised - maintain speed, follow the car in front of me, stay in the lane and stop if necessary. It can even do more than that, like change lanes and follow exits. It's always healthy to question the safety record and Tesla needs to be more open about incidents with Autopilot enabled. But when operated properly (keep your hands on the wheel and pay attention) it's great and I certainly don't feel deceived.

I understand that many people are confused by the name. I get the argument that aircraft autopilot has a lot of the same constraints, but there are plenty of people who hear "Autopilot" and don't understand the disambiguation between a hands-on assist system, vague rumors that "Teslas drive themselves", and "Full Self Driving". An appropriate remedy is to change the name or put heavy disclaimers on. But it doesn't feel intentionally deceptive like Full Self Driving.

Full Self Driving is a huge mess and there should absolutely be more regulatory action or class action. I paid $10k for the language in the article - get in your car and it drives you where you want to go. Every 8-10 months it's only another year away. I'm not 100% convinced that what Musk claims is even possible with the hardware on my car at this point.

The FSD beta is fun but terrifying and not useful. It drives like a 15 year old and I've never had a single drive where I haven't taken over, either for safety or because the car was holding up traffic. It's also important not to confuse safety (it rarely tries to drive me into a solid object!) with actual usability (it consistently gets confused and blocks other cars in traffic). It's not a few updates away, it's fundamentally not even close to full autonomy. It's not what I bought and it's absolutely false advertising to take $7-12k and just push out the deadline indefinitely.
Normally, it’s “2”. Music is mastered to transfer you to the place where it’s recorded. Mastering is just tuning the sound to fit into your music system limits, while keeping the atmosphere as much as possible.

ABBA’s sound is mastered to fit into AM radio and jukeboxes for example. To make the music broadly listenable, for example.

Today everything is so blurry, because there’s no studio per se. It’s just sequenced, vocal is added, mastered, compressed and released (today’s pop). Rock and other stuff is still track recorded, tho.
