The due process necessary to put someone in prison is generally far more rigorous and affords the accused more rights than the due process necessary to institutionalize someone.

It's possible to construct a system that respects the rights of the mental health patient, but we have historically not been able to do so.

Before the 80s, we'd just throw people into madhouses and toss away the key. That system, and its myriad of abuses was torn down due to public backlash, and was replaced with... Nothing.
In my personal experience rebase made ISO9000/AS9000 gatekeepers twitchy. Even to the extent that they'd tell the Overlords "Do everything in Perforce, or else".

And then the Overlords shut down all the VCSs because "this isn't a software company". Then everyone sneaks around using weird homebrew portable tracking widgets, or, more often, just gives up.

Is rebase handy? Oh yeah.

These fact checks and warning labels are semantically different enough that arguments from equivalence only work to a point. We know that people can be influenced by what they read on social media, and social media platforms aren't (currently) legally liable for misinformation spread by their users.
My memory of my childhood is terrible. I just have little 'flashbulb' memories, and they mostly seem to be of the worst moments. I've read that recalling memories will change them, and for some reason those just happen to be the memories that come to me late at night when I'm trying to sleep. I often wonder how those memories have changed in my mind as a result of me getting stuck on them. I don't recall ruminating over those events in childhood, so maybe they weren't as bad as I remember and my negativity is slowly twisting them into something worse than they actually were.

I feel like I'm a little ungrateful because I have so few good memories of that time and my parents couldn't have really been that bad.
Perhaps in the US we could make healthcare affordable to just the "non-dangerously" mentally ill first before vilifying mental illness in general. Or perhaps, we could take a hard look at gun control laws that enable the danger instead of using mentally ill people as a scapegoat, which is what conservatives prefer to do any time there's a mass shooting.
Our penetration testers suggested we add password rotation, and I had to quote them the latest NIST guidelines which state "Verifiers SHOULD NOT require memorized secrets to be changed arbitrarily (e.g., periodically)."

If they don't know better, it's not surprising other companies don't either.
What would happen is multiple private companies would be trying to install their proprietary street tech aids all over the place.

Much like how the NYC subway now has different gauge tracks after all the competing companies were merged. Or the multiple cell networks we have now.
This article itself highlights the absolute discomfort I have with this proposal, and why I think it's ultimately unethical.

They completely switch from presenting a case about the "dangerously mentally ill with a propensity for murder" casually to just the "mentally ill."

Even drawing a line between the two in the first place can be fraught with ethical difficulties, and all the "advocates" in this process are not duty-bound to the person who's mental health status is about to be "determined" by the state; and it's highly likely everyone else involved in the process will have some financial incentive to start as much treatment as is possible.

It's easy to see the imputed process here making more errors than it prevents, since it seems to be a process that can be applied before any guilt is established.
That's reductive. My parents were white liberal hippies who didn't push me at all. I got C's in school and a perfect math SAT and SAT 2.

To be fair, I did spend a lot of time thinking about math because I liked it.
> I doubt I will ever again consider their VR products

I made this mistake and ordered an Oculus earlier this year. While I waited for it to arrive, I setup a facebook/meta account since that is a requirement. Before the headset arrived, Meta had flagged my account as fake, and the process to prove that I was in fact a real person would not accept my cell phone number. There was nothing else I could do to prove I was real. So, fake me returned the headset when it arrived, and then fake me felt a sense of relief in the giant bullet I had just dodged.

> Now they hate Russia and every single one I asked has vowed to learn Ukrainian and erase any parts of Russian culture from their lives.

I know a few Ukrainian refugees. They speak Russian as their native language, and I've often seen them hanging out and chatting with Russians. I've talked to one of them quite a bit about his political beliefs. He obviously doesn't support the Russian invasion of his country, but he's also very unhappy with the Ukrainian government (particularly since what happened in 2014), and he doesn't like Ukrainian nationalists (partly because of the way they try to restrict minority languages in the country, including Russian and Hungarian).
"and has been working tirelessly day in and day out"

Sorry, that is garden variety PR verbiage.

"regular-course transfers between his accounts and involved corresponding deposits"

So is it accounting, or fraud? Answer: Yes to both.

If that statement had any credibility, there would be "independent auditor" and the named auditor in it.
Cloud desktops were fine a few years ago in Windows 7 times when the desktop was 2D and was remoted as GDI instructions.

Windows 10 made everything 3D, so now not having a GPU assigned to a virtual machine means everything is first rendered into a bitmap and then sent over wire as a movie. This causes additional delay, JPEG-like artifacts and instability.
If someone wants to give me 1PB of old hard drives that will lose sectors I’ll be happy to set up a super high redundancy system (100-200GB usable) for my homelab which constantly bans bad sectors.
I found The Politics Industry by Katherine Gehl super enlightening and well-researched on this very idea (https://www.amazon.com/Politics-Industry-Political-Innovatio...). The basic premise is that the current "market dynamics" of Politics (when viewed like any other industry) actively disincentivizes results. Painting with a somewhat broad brush, it doesn't making sense for a politician to make progress on immigration reform because that lessens its saliency for raising money and turning out the base.

The solution proposed is a combination of "Final-Five" open primaries with ranked-choice voting in the general election. This is what just happened in Alaska and is on the ballot in Nevada in November.

Which reminds me...if you're a Nevada voter, vote YES on ballot question 3!

There’s no escaping, but when you put something visual in front of someone your brain wants to believe it.

Basically all these models are informational nuclear weapons being created, blueprints and all, and with distributed implementations mean anyone can and will use them.
That's very true
Just a heads up for others trying to read this, I think the < and > are backwards.
In your experience, why do mentally ill people not seek treatment?
No it's not.

First you have to further pacify the policing and government systems of the US, which are far too often hyper violent and cruel. That process has only just barely begun as it is (starting with reducing sentencing, sane drug laws, reducing police brutality, etc).

If you mandate X for the dangerously mentally ill (which ones are supposedly dangerously mentally ill?), what you'll get is terrifying abuse of the mentally ill broadly, in many different ways.

The US is not Finland. The US is not Norway. The US is not Estonia. We're not some soft, cuddly European-style welfare state. The US has a very, very, very violent government, a superpower government that likes to abuse its power, one that often does not respect the rights of its citizens.

Before you give the governments in the US (federal, state or local) such powers of treatment (which would include forced detainment against their will, instantly walking to the thin line of human rights violations) you better pacify it first, or you will not like the results. Then we'll be here 20 years from now and it'll be an avalanche of laments about all the horrific human rights violations that happened under the Treating Mentally Ill People With Respect Act. Who could have seen it coming?!? We didn't expect them to do such horrible things with those powers! And so on.

Yes, but who then gets forcibly medicated?

People who present a risk? That could be a lot of people... who picks what meds they are forced to take? How can you possibly ever get out of such a system?
Yes, Coherence supports multiple services as part of one app, which all have to live in one repo. You're also able to integrate across multiple Coherence apps (in one or more repos) by treating them as an external dependency of each other. They can all deploy into the same cloud project, of course. We don't currently support automatically doing things like service discovery across apps, but in general better support for micro services and more complex features along these lines are definitely on our roadmap. We'd love to talk about your use case and learn more about how we could support it.

Appreciate the feedback and question! And please do check us out and let us know how we can make it work for you...
At the same time, you can imagine that SimulaVR wants to assert "we are not proof META isn't a monopoly". Further, they probably don't want to provide key market information that could aid an aggressive monopolist from leveraging their way into SimulaVR's space.
> There’s loads of work that ad agencies will just hire an AI prompt guy to generate for ads.

I am really skeptical of the idea that soon, working with image AI will involve purely prompt writing. I bet it will involve some prompt writing but still plenty of original art creation, and even more photoshop combining, as now.

Think about how much more time a modern employed artist spends fucking around with photoshop tools, as opposed to literally having their pen on their wacom tablet. It's just a continuing trend in that direction -- or at least that's my educated guess which could be wrong.
To comment on getting out of a bad place in a trip... We've found that just talking about the feeling is extremely helpful in moving on. Instead of stewing and digging deeper, somehow that seems to bring us out.
The idea that prompting images will pay the same as taking 2-3 days to produce an image through a skillset that takes half a decade to a decade to build up… seems pretty much incredible to me.

There is an upper limit to how many images in still or moving form the world needs. We’re operating at that limit already - entry level jobs in the arts are often not paid or extremely poorly paid, signifying that demand for the jobs outstrips supply.

Basically there are always more aspiring film directors in the world than there are actual film directors - meaning the field is ultra competitive. Same with YouTube creators and other artists. The idea that making it easier to produce images will somehow make more work - it won’t since we already exist in an visual content oversaturated environment (there is now more content than anyone will ever watch). What it will do is collapse the incomes of artists.
Those companies don't have GPU acceleration in Windows 10.
90% of the terms and definitions in urban dictionary read like something a snickering teenager thought up on the spot, not real slang that is/was actually circulating prior to (or after) being added to the site.

It's fine because nobody should be taking urban dictionary seriously in the first place; it's just an online amusement. Real dictionaries, even crowdsourced ones like Wiktionary, don't use voting systems like urban dictionary's.
Many people want treatment but cannot find it because it's stigmatized, too expensive and/or the waiting lists are too long. This seems like a bad but easy solution to a serious problem

Well, I mean NY has a general inclination towards being overly restrictive based on psychological tests. So I guess it makes sense to start it there.

I believe a big story a few years ago was how they stripped a retired cop of his gun license over his admission that he was "sometimes blue" even though there was no indication that he would be dangerous to himself or others.

If you want to get into prevention, that's fine. But since most crime is committed by people without mental illnesses, you need to start by forcibly medicating the general population. Sound good?
Contribution quality. When Stephen made me a maintainer, he did it because I kept sending him PRs he liked, and he was losing energy for jq. When I asked Stephen to make Will and David maintainers, it was because their contributions were of very good quality. Problem is I've fallen way behind on keeping up with issues and PRs, so right now I don't know who would be a good candidate. The other problem is, as I mentioned elsewhere, that I cannot make someone a maintainer -- only Stephen can. If Stephen agrees to a `jqlang` org, then it will be possible for him to delegate authority to add new maintainers.
They have to keep growing revenue / profits in order to keep the shareprice up and satisfy shareholders. It's not enough to have flat, or even slightly declining revenue (only dropped 1%).
The ambiguity makes sense here. It sounds like you're asking if people should be forbidden from training text models on the Linux kernel; I think this line is already drawn in the sand with GPL. If someone trains an AI model on the Linux kernel and use it to generate commercial code, that's a potential license violation.

The lack of clear signalling around this topic leaves it ripe for OSS devs and enthusiasts to explore, but extremely scary for commercial entities to navigate. In other words, it's working exactly as GPL should.
Who exactly is doing the mandating though? And then it’s just a matter of time until the political party in power starts having their opposition committed for being “dangerously mentally ill”.
I went through a similar process with them, thinking it didn't work for a reason, then finding out the "reason" was the product of my own misunderstanding.
So what if they don't have the funds? What if they have only so much for this but then have to close the business down because of it? It's a small startup.
The market will take care of this. The reason we use bitumen now is not because it's the best for the job. We use it because it is cheap. There are other options that are better like cement that last longer. Will the material cost of building roads go up? Probably. Will we be unable to build roads at all? Probably not.

There are also plant based alternatives being researched like Lignin and crystalized salt.
I've been using this in one form or another for a very long time. Starting when we had Windows desktops with bad Linux support, and back then you couldn't run both OS's on the same machine at the same time.

So I stuck a workstation with Linux on it in a closet. Fired up VNC and I could hit it from home, my cubicle, the road, wherever. It's evolved over the years as things became faster and more secure. It became a co-located server, then a VPS, and now it's a shared setup on a beefy server.

It maintains it's state no matter where I go. I can open up two ore more sessions for two ore more monitors. But it's more useful to just surf the web or open PDF's or whatever on the local machine. Copy and paste is pretty seamless these days. And wherever it's located, has a much better network connection than I do.

You still have a latency problem with large files (CD .iso in the old days, a 10GB package these days). I don't play games so I don't really know how that goes. But for development it works great, as well as just a general workstation.
It is high time, we only allow one type of person to exist on this planet. I am comfortable that this type of person will not be me or anyone I personally care about so it is ok. Anyone who does not fit the mold must be identified, broken into malleable pieces and then, ideally, reset, but failing that removed from polite society.

It is a hard read, but that is this article is arguing for.

edit: Hell, I get freedom is scary. There are times I see and hear of people who use it in ways I would never think of considering thinking of dreaming about, but blanket convenient labeling, followed by drugging to ensure they can rendered docile is one of the more horrifying things a civilization can do to a person all the while proponent of the policy managing to feel warm and fuzzy about it. It certainly does not help ( and likely colors my thoughts ) that I regularly attend conferences where some well-meaning soul asks a seemingly benign question along the lines of 'We are already have data X; why are we not using it to do Y.'
And a stab at auto-summary using tools4noobs:

https://pastebin.com/VY6M489T
Not a FB story, but I once had an innocuous profile image on a Google side-account get flagged and automatically restricted from public view. I requested human review and it was manually approved. The next week it got flagged again; same process, reapproved. This kept happening every week until 5 times total; I kept going just to see how long would it take them to stop, as I didn't really care about the image or even the account.

Long time after I'd last used that account, I logged-in again and, you guessed it, the image was flagged. Requested yet another review, approved. Was it really that hard for them to trigger human reviews before restricting content that had already been reviewed?
Ranked choice absolutely conveys more information than approval. It's not as much as score voting, but it's mathematically false to say it's the same amount as approval. Among five candidates, approval would be 2^5-2=30 possibilities (almost 5 bits of information, assuming you can't approve/disapprove all because that's the same as not voting), while ranked choice would be 5!=120 possibilities (almost 7 bits of information, assuming ties aren't permitted). It's only with 3 candidates that they have equal information in terms of possibilities (2^3-2=6=3!).

And individuals don't have intransitive preferences, only populations can. (Assuming mental competence.)

Yes score voting would be ideal if it were easy to convert preferences strength into numbers, but one person's 7 can be another person's 3. There's no objective way to do it. The same as approval voting isn't objective, because there's no objective threshold. Whereas ranked voting is purely objective, a person can always express an ordered preference in a consistent, repeatable way.
GET OFF THE INTERNET AND HIRE A LAWYER TO HANDLE THIS

You guys want to run a business, well, start acting like businessmen. Your company will occasionally get subpoenaed or - heaven forbid! - be sued. You got a third-party subpoena for documents in a litigation. Guess what, this will happen from time to time. Your attorney should be negotiating with Meta to figure out what documents/testimony your company will provide.

Honestly, your behavior makes me question your maturity. Treat this as a learning experience about the reality of the American business/legal world. Get a lawyer to handle it and shut up about the case.
Fiat works until it doesn't. Whether that's inflation, corrupt government, or the long term debt cycle which we nearing the end of.
