> standard liberal response is, [...] So, problem solved, right?

Well, there's the problem. You can't declare something fixed, and you have to have standards to check against. Those people just aren't trying and you can't write every "standard liberal" off because you personally know lazy ones.

But yes, the race-blind answer would be to help people still experiencing those first-order (lack of ownership) and second-order (lack of generational equity) problems by tackling obstacles to low-end ownership and invest in wealth and estate planning classes, assisting with secondary education, etc.

A multitude of strategies and a goal of trying those and other things until the original victims are helped, while trying not the name those victims explicitly. In doing so, helping anyone similarly disadvantaged.

> antiracist lens might be, [...] wealthy white folks [...] you benefitted from it, we're asking you to pay a slightly larger share in fixing it.

The anti-racist lens mentions race a lot. I'm not just saying that to be snarky but because I believe that's harmful. Like the news reporting thoughtlessly about suicides.

But I don't see in that view is any concern for finding the unfair beneficiaries - merely all white people. This is where it goes from looking racist to being racist.

Most damningly, anti-racists don't have any consistent or desirable ideas on what the problems are or how the funds would go to help. It's all about race, categorizing and separating and stigmatizing by race, and confiscating by race, but barely if ever about defining and planning to fix the problems for people of any race, let alone all.

I feel that this class-based analysis is much more useful and less counter-productive.
In that case they almost certainly do have data support.

Keep in mind that power dissipation scales with the square of the current. That means that, as a first order approximation, relative to household 15 amp wiring, a 3 amp cable can be 1/25 of the size. You can get away with really thin wires for that.

The reason why you end up with thick USB C cables is because of either 5 amp support (requiring 2.8x bigger wires) and/or USB 3 support (requiring a bunch of extra higher spec wires). It is quite normal for plain old 3 amp USB 2 USB C cables to be thin.

I don't really have concerns over Musk taking over.

I think Musk is less likely to ban what some people call misinformation than the current Twitter leadership and I think, at least in the current climate, that it is better to allow misinformation then it is to ban it.
I have a childcare provider whose first language is Spanish but also speaks English well. In texts, she’ll frequently use Spanish, and then I can just push a button to translate it. The translations are usually good, but sometimes bad. I think overall, I wouldn’t use machine translation in a scenario where I would use a translator before, but I would be more likely to work with someone who doesn’t speak English perfectly. So, it’s net increasing the demand for translation because the transition costs for small translation work is lower.
Where's your evidence that they had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and/or gave them backdoor access, as opposed to, say, hiring a dev team in China on Upwork because they were cheap, and had a poor understanding of compliant data handling?
Ahh, how silly of me. Here I was thinking that Google kept their models private because they were hoping to monetize them. But now that you say it, it's obvious that this is just Google being morally responsible. Thanks Google!

I'm sorry to be sarcastic. I generally try not to be, but I just can't fathom the level of naivete required to think that mega-corps act out of their moral responsibility rather than their profit-interest.
Zerocal – A Serverless Calendar App in Rust Running on Shuttle.rs
I'm mostly a Python programmer (10 years), and spent a night last week reading the first ~8 chapters of the Rust book, and working slowly through the rest.

I confirm that it's a great book, easy to read, even if reading isn't usually your style of learning. Or you can jump in and look at the Rust by Example book.

I wanted to read through at least the bits that would be totally new and confusing to me in Rust - ownership, variable lifetime, references, etc.

I'm finishing up Chapter 10 and probably getting to the point where I'll need to start actually using the language to learn it, knowing there will be gaps to fill in later. I think Rust is such a broad language that it's probably better to start coding and cementing the basics instead of trying to learn everything all at once.
The media hyping people up for pictures of a scientific data collector that doesn't mean anything to most people is probably the definition of overhyped.

ALL shuttle missions were more expensive than launching 3 separate expendable missions. (on top of the launch costs themselves, the payload had to be 'upgraded' to human safety requirements. So things like deployment squibs had to be made triple redundant (instead of double) and had to be completely disconnected from a power source until released from the shuttle bay. (and of course, that power connection system had to be triple redundant... the complexity fed on itself) and that's before you get to the paperwork and the safety reviews... And you had to staff up three launch teams, instead of two... you needed a full team at Johnson in addition to the Cape and your own site. And the launch teams needed to be onsite for the full shuttle mission and rehearsals, and jerked around by the incessant shuttle schedule slips. The costs just kept piling up. )
I'm sure those companies will escape unharmed. This is America after all.

The numbers they call are not necessarily random. I was torturing one “reduce your credit card fees” guy by giving him 3 wrong credit card numbers in a row. He got mad and started threatening me with terminating all my credit cards - which was hilarious because just the moment before he was asking their numbers. But then to substantiate the threat he disclosed what knows about me. My address, my phone, my car make… the only thing they got wrong was my name - they used my son’s name instead of mine.

And other callers called me my son’s name a couple other times. So there seems to be some database that some of them share.
Haha, well you did say you were a total beginner. Perhaps you are more intermediate.
Why are you calling it "demise"? Having $200M of ARR and selling for $20B - it's a tremendous achievement that should be celebrated.

If all it took to build a figma was to plug in web assembly, I'm pretty sure Adobe would have pocketed the $20B and built it themselves. There's a reason they didn't. They tried and they couldn't do it.
It's not as simple as this. Google Search came without Safe Search & other guards at first because _implementing privacy & age controls is hard_. It's a second-order product after the initial product. Bad capabilities (e.g. cyberstalking) are side-effects of a product that "organizes the world's information and makes it universally accessible and useful," and if anything, over time Google has sought build in more safety.

It's 2022 and we can be more thoughtful. Yes there are tradeoffs between unleashing new capabilities quickly vs being thoughtful and potentially conservative in what is made publicly available. I don't think it's bad that Google makes those tradeoffs.

FWIW Google open sources _tons_ of models that aren't LLMs / diffusion models. It's just that LLMs & powerful generative models have particular ethical considerations that are worth thinking about (hopefully something was learned from the whole Timnit thing).
It seems fairly hard to predict to me. There have been huge improvements in computer art generally, but that seems to have come with rising demand and quality expectations.

If prices for this sort of art does fall, demand will also increase. It's hard to guess how big that increase will be.

I rent a house. Both houses on either side of me have radon vents, mine does not. But I can see they've got basements, mine is on slab (no basement or crawlspace). I asked the landlord if this house was ever tested, he said not to worry since there is no basement. Is there an easy, reliable way for me to test for radon, or am I worrying too much?
This stuff happens all the time.

A few years back a company I was contracting for had one of their end users report a high severity security defect. Apparently he signed into the app and thought he had been hacked because a couple of large 6-figure transactions had been made.

After several hours of inconclusive investigation where even identifying the user proved difficult, this turned out to be him seeing the marketing example screens in the app store and having a panic. The app never even got installed and he never signed up for it.

The marketing screens were quickly updated to show something less impressive and with a sample data only warning...

One of the big differences, however, with modern lenses is active image stabilization. Various "IS" and "VR" things in Nikon and Canon and similar lenses. Very important if shooting handheld and you want to take shots at slightly lower ISOs with less graininess in low light conditions, and for handheld videography with the same lenses.

The active stabilization many modern DSLR and mirrorless market lenses is worth a few f-stops difference.
Either you have not seen solar parks taking up arable land or you do not understand how this type of land use makes the land unavailable to agriculture. This may not be an issue when those solar parks are built in a desert but it does when they're displacing good farm land like they're doing in e.g. the Netherlands. There are experiments with less dense solar parks and those with vertically placed bifacial panels which should allow combined land use but this has not gotten beyond the experimental stage yet.

Of course it is possible to forego on using arable land for solar parks, only using rooftops and similar constructions for this purpose. Roofs - especially large flat ones like used in industry - are natural locations for PV panels and it is hard to see why one would not install them on new constructions, either on top of traditional roof cladding or in place of it. The same goes for large south-facing walls.

Wind turbines can be placed on farm land without unduly reducing land availability to farming, here the problem comes from nearby population complaining about noise pollution (infrasound, [1]) coming from those turbines as well as 'horizon pollution' [2].

AI hasn't really come for programming yet. Copilot, imperfect as it is, is proof that the problem can be approached.

I think junior software engineers could realistically be obsolete in 5 years. Imagine a software architect being able to prompt: "write a rest API that exposes user data from system A to internal system B", and have a complete API dumped out, with tests, ready to be deployed.
Could building up on what AI creates not work?

For each technological advancement we had in the past 200 years had made it easier to do things at a certain level. Which enabled people to do more things and more complex things. Which just pushed up the average level of what we create higher.

Can't AI be used to handle what the artists had to spent more effort to create before, therefore enabling artists to create more complex works of art and therefore push the creative level up?

Except for the fact that we still run a deficit so itd start going back up again.

I suspect that we'll end up with a split similar to amateur and professional photography, with generative models for the latter trained not on plain English but on something much more stringently structured, with ability to unambiguously specify many important but non-trivial parameters in the prompt, including for specific well-defined areas of the output etc. Probably with a GUI on top where you can literally highlight specific objects etc and adjust parameters, and it'll construct the query for the next iteration.

Good luck to them. I hope it works. Even if it fails, maybe we can learn something from it.

From my experience it's a bad idea because it's a slippery slope. Once they start restricting one thing, it opens doors to restricting the next thing. In my city, they closed down a downtown street from cars. But then they banned bicycles. And they shoo away skateboarders. In nearby grassy park/trail they paved a walkway. Then paved even more to segregate bicycles. Now the grassy area has the original road beside it, a walk way and a bike path... less and less grass.

In this neighborhood, they'll probably come up with some rules that you have to park your bike in designated areas. Or don't allow electric bikes... crazy stuff like that.

Queue up Casey Neistat's "bike lanes" video on youtube about stupid rules.

EDIT: in their website (https://culdesac.com/), why do they have a food truck parked in the open area?
