You're using the "stochastic terrorism" argument, and what that does is create liability for anyone who might recklessly increase the probability of something bad happening (even if there's absolutely no clear causation). If "stochastic terrorism" were unprotected speech, then it would create immense chilling effects. People would be terrified to say anything controversial. Thank goodness it's not part of American law.
Not really. National Security Letters [1] are for requesting data, not censorship. And of course, they are also controversial. Many of us consider the PATRIOT act a disaster.

From 4th grade until I left home at age 16, I lived in a single wide mobile home in lower Alabama. My mother had a window unit AC in her bedroom but other than that, there was no cooling.

Looking back now, I have no idea how I survived. My pet chinchilla died one summer because it was too hot in my bedroom.

I could never imagine allowing my own son to grow up on such conditions.

I suppose I have regressed and I am now weaker. But I couldn’t possibly live without AC now.
Where is Chia? They might out rank all of these.
Huh? I didn’t say hate speech was illegal. I said hate speech when it progressed to inciting crime was illegal.

Well, we have a lot of laws against that in every major country.

Yes, if police catch you doing that, then they will put you in a cage.
He did go on to say that if the KiwiFarms founder/owner/whatever had been more compassionate he would have carried on.

It could be guilting those who harrassed and bullied him. But it's probably just highlighting how bad it was for him.

To me, it's pretty clear KiwiFarms were a major contributing factor to their sucide.
I had a conversation with a peer recently on AI Regulation. I assume its pointless to try to regulate it because the world is .. well.. big and there is no barrier to entry.

We can regulate nuclear weapons because the average person can't build one even if the instructions arn't online.

I think regulating AI is pointless because if we make AI research illegal in 99.99% of countries, some country somewhere will develop it and thats the end of that regulation.

Can we do anything other than hope our AI Overlords are kind?
Hopefully there will always be enough screaming on the internet to take down a doxxing operation.

> Free speech is more than just an amendment to the constitution. It is also a doctrine that knowledge and discussion should generally be free, and that people shouldn't be persecuted for their beliefs.

Should be persecuted BY THE GOVERNMENT. At no point has any nation held that all people should be able to say whatever they want at any time with zero repercussions from anywhere. You can yell in a crowded theater, and they can kick you out. If you yell "fire" and cause a panic, you're arrested for the panic, not the fact you spoke, but for the fact you put people in potential danger. But if you only yell some racial slur, for example, no one will arrest you for the slur, but you can be asked to leave the theater and never return because that's private property.

Freedom of speech is not and has never been freedom from consequences.

Yeah, Pfizer optimized for acceptable performance with fewer side effects, Moderna optimized for best performance with less regard for side effects.

Hence the general pattern that Moderna hits you harder than Pfizer and of course the hesitant go with Pfizer if given a choice. The flip side is those of us who don't react badly will tend to go Moderna for the boosters. That also means that going forward we can't compare real world effects because the distribution will be decidedly non-random.

> I don't understand the comment about leaking memory, nfs file handles don't have to be persistent.

As long as the file the NFSv4 file handle refers to is still usable (i.e., linked into the file system), the NFSv4 file handle must remain usable. Note that this is not a universal requirement, but at least one that the macOS NFSv4 client enforces. It only implements FH4_PERSISTENT. This doesn't seem to be documented explicitly, but is somewhat revealed by this printf():

https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/blob/main/bsd/nfs/nfs_vf...

> Besides, how many FUSE filesystems implement FORGET?

Any file system that wants to remove files in the background (meaning: not by calling unlink() through the FUSE mount) must likely do proper refcounting on such files, and provide an implementation of FORGET.

For example, a file system that can give information on live football matches may want to remove files/directories belonging to matches that have already ended. In that case you want the node IDs to remain valid, but refer to files that have already been unlinked from the file system hierarchy. The FORGET operation allows you to determine when those files can be removed from the FUSE server's bookkeeping entirely.

Here is an implementation of FORGET that I wrote for Buildbarn:

'Just go to the state monopoly instead and hope they're responsive' is a poor strategy. As is well established in law, cops and prosecutors aren't obliged to protect yu even though they have vast legal immunity of their own.
My experience says the opposite is true.
I don’t think you can fairly call them a monopoly. It took me like three minutes to come up with seven different competitors offering DDoS protection. And that’s just top-of-mind companies, without even doing research into anyone I might not know offhand.

>"Beautiful woman" gives you nudity roughly 90% of the time.

This is simply not factual. I've just tried `Beautiful woman` 64 times on Stable Diffusion v1.4:

- 0 results were fully nude

- 8 results were topless and sexually explicit (I counted pictures without nipples as well)

- 2 results were topless with breasts covered by hands in a facebook friendly way

12.5% is very far from 90%. Even then, what kind of a prompt is that anyway? The only attribute you give to the subject is sexualizing her. More descriptive prompts would contain even less nudity.

>They'd rather SD not be a source of more.

This isn't what their founder says[0]. Anyway it doesn't matter since SD already released with an easy to disable filter. We are not talking about whether SD should include an optional filter (I agree it should), but whether other apps built on top of it should have a non-optional filter.

As an Android user...good! The Android space needs a kick in the ass.

Google has been phoning it in (nyuk nyuk) with hardly-premium Pixel phones, nothing in tablets, and meh changes to Android.

Samsung continues to produce good hardware, but at crazy prices.

The market has a weird split...Google controls Android itself, but Samsung basically owns the Android market. If these two can't figure out a way to put their heads together and really blow people away, they'll continue to lose market share.
Got this recently for my kids and was pleasantly surprised that the current rules no longer require a GO card after recovering from an incident.

OK, this is actually a really good and insightful article hidden behind a provocative title.

I will say that “velocity” is an extremely helpful concept at the level of the individual and small teams. With my trams I challenge each engineer to try and batch work into 2-4 hour chunks, with each chunk being labeled “1 point.” Thus if we have an ideal week there are theoretically 10 points of “velocity.” We also try to batch up meetings etc. and discount the coordination overhead from the plausible output, so maybe the theoretical ideal is lowered to 8-9 points. We all discuss and agree on that based on whatever overhead we can’t eliminate.

Then each engineer does their best to “call their shot” every week and say how much work they’ll finish. At the end of the week we compare their prediction against reality, using a burn-up chart as a visual aid to the flow of work. There’s no penalty for getting it wrong, just applause for nailing it, and always a discussion of what worked and what could have gone better.

Following this habit, I have consistently seen teams get much better at forecasting work into the future accurately. This ability to have a steady velocity and make reasonably accurate forecasts about how long things may take is extremely valuable and helps us align and coordinate efforts across many teams.
This seems unrealistic. The suggestion is to switch to 25 year contracts for a commodity?

With current inflation uncertain and future inflation a pure guess and the consumption rate of these resources unknown in the future, I have no idea who would sign this statement.

Europe literally just shut down LNG derivatives market and gave an emergency loan to the counterparties doing what is suggested because they are going bankrupt and can't fulfill their obligations. This doesnt make sense.

> American reluctance to metric units

Reluctance is too strong a word. In the US we use metric for quite a lot of measurements. Frequently things are labeled in both metric and imperial. What we have is ambivalence. Folks from countries with more metric adoption care way, way more about the US using imperial than anyone in the US does.

I can sympathize with that, but if the choice is between, say, using 1% of the battery capacity to heat the cell versus losing 25% of the capacity because they just don't work efficiently in the cold, going with the 1st option seems like the right move.

Although maybe that's not right... if a large amount of energy is "lost" when the battery is too cold, that energy has to go somewhere. If it ends up as heat anyways, maybe it's really functionally equivalent to having a heating element in the cell. In which case the solution is probably just to insulate the batteries better.
Lossy, but at >300kbps.... this is not going to be the part that introduces most artifacts.

Real principled stance there from their CEO - 3 days to totally flip-flop? I mean, if your stance is we will ban content we arbitrarily find bad then just state it as such.

The thing is that just about every company and individual is going to have the caveat "be bad enough and I won't deal with you" in practice. Kiwi Farms is pretty horrible but you could have an even more awful site - say real murder for hire - and it would be dropped even faster.

Do really expect someone to offer a "principled position" that no matter the real world consequences, they'll never stand against some horror getting out onto the Internet?

Edit: I want to add that Cloudflair's original statement and it's recent statement have involved a consistent point of "we shouldn't be the one to suppress this" which is fundamentally different from "nothing should be done about these problems". They're basically saying "we should be doing this but we should be doing this based on a court order rather than on our own". Which is to say there are never any "free speech fundamentalism" in these statements.

It’s surprisingly complex to run a node unless you’re a seasoned developer, and even then when you add things like updates and potentially even slashing for mistakes it’s not worth it. I spent around two years contracting building test infra for different crypto companies by creating throwaway networks with potentially up to three different cryptos (for bridges) and it was a nightmare. There’s a definite startup idea there to make it easier like spinning up VMs
I think if you have spent the time, money and research getting good sounding equipment that you like, it’s kinda automatic to also pick a streaming service which claims to offer higher quality even if you’re aware that you’re imagining it.

I'm not sure if this will go to Ireland's or the EU's budget.

But if it goes to the EU's, it is pooled towards the countries' contributions - meaning the member states will have to pay that much less into the EU's budget.

Of course, it's not engineering; it's all about metrics, which are statistical
>> Renewables are cheaper than nuclear mostly because of large state grants and tax reductions.

That is simply not true, already in 2017(?) PV and wind was cheaper in utility scale kWh prices, un fixed project auctions and without subsidies, than the then most modern nuckear plant in Europe, Hinkley C in the UK. Those utility scale PV and wind parks are faster to build as well.

Until we figured electricity storagebout on a scale big enough to sustain our needs nuclear beats coal by lightyears so.

But, for the most part, I do much less organization of paper than I used to, especially of things that I can probably just find in an online account.

> Much better to make reproducibility a valuable research contribution in and of its own and let "the market" take care of it.

"the market" is the same force that has led to the perverse incentives of constantly pushing new "discoveries" above validations. The small variations you have prescribed have been tried (to various degrees) and have not had an effect on aggregate behavior.

> Why make it a PhD requirement? You'd end up with half-assed attempts to reproduce easy results and little mafia rings of my-reproduction-for-your-reproduction.

The why is obvious. The purpose of a PHD is for the furthering of knowledge, so it's a perpetual source of motivation.

> You'd end up with half-assed attempts to reproduce easy results and little mafia rings of my-reproduction-for-your-reproduction.

That's how it might end up (largely based on the rigor of the PHD program), but it's better than what we have, which is no good incentive to reproduce results.
with a very high suicide rate among transgender individuals I'm not sure if the deaths can solely be attributed to the site.

Moreover some of the people, who pushed to shut down the forum, openly support the transition of teens (even without the knowledge of their parents).
Yet trans teens face an even higher risk of attempting suicide. Therefore one must ask if those who wanted to remove KF are not responsible for more suicides by promoting and facilitating transition among teens in identity crisis i.e. by making their problems even worse.
The openbsd auth system is interesting, I don't know if it is any safer than pam(it probably isn't) however because it operates across process boundaries instead of trying to dlopen everything in the same process it feels more human scale, that is, you feel you can actually debug and modify it without a Phd.

>There we are. "science believers".

I'm a scientist. I know more about the nature of science and it's flaws more then most people. But there are a large cohort of popular science readers who don't truly understand what science is. They sort of worship the results of scientific endeavors as reported by popular science but they don't truly grasp what science is. You're part of that cohort.

>Because science is the only way anything could possibly be proven or proven wrong and you'll reject this as belief into which you apparently don't buy.

Most people don't understand the true nature of science. Even people who worship the concept of empirical testing and the scientific method. There is a huge flaw in science in the fact that NOTHING can be proven in science it is fundamentally impossible. Things can only be falsified in science, nothing can be proven. It's in fact a core tenet of science. To quote Einstein: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.” The logic behind why this is the case is not understandable to most people.

>And I don't "take pride in 'truth seeking'". You really do make a lot of assumptions about me in this discussion.

I think you do. Most people take pride in themselves being more "unbiased" then other people. It's normal. By probability you're the same as everyone else. It's cliche.

>My identity is kept small, but thanks for worrying. I'm happy to be proven wrong any time.

I'm not worrying. I'm anticipating your response, and making you aware of of cliche behavior so you don't fall into the trap. But you decided to "stop replying" indicating you are biased and emotionally invested. I mean if you're happy to be proven wrong, why don't you just continue to engage with me or admit you're wrong?

>They also remove the prohibition against class action lawsuits, and allow disputes to be settled in court instead of through arbitration. This is actually good news for litigation-minded Samsung customers - especially in light of certain recent data breaches and unnecessary delays in reporting them.

Fun fact: much of this is because lawyers started telling people how to launch arbitration en-masse, and it turns out you cannot legally compel arbitration without also offering to pay for it. And since there's no class-action provision with most arbitration companies, it was actually more expensive to compel arbitration than to just take the class-actions.
