The US and other militaries have been trying out autonomous killer robots for a decade or more. Some types of missiles, once launched, are completely autonomous and will choose a target. Do a search on "loyal wingman", these are unmanned drones that fly alongside a jet fighter and can be tasked to do things, in some cases autonomously. Anybody can buy a Boston Dynamics robot and retrofit it with weapons. It's good they are making a statement, but a lot more is needed if we really want to stop autonomous weaponized robots because they are already here.
True. Open source software is waaay bigger than Free software. And free software delivered by the FSF is a drop in the bucket of all software-available-in-source-code-format.

This is not a bad thing, nor a reflection that the FSF is doing it wrong. Indeed it is a sign they are doing it right.

Ultimately all open software exists _because_ of the FSF. They set the marker in the ground, they set the standard the rest if us don't quite live up to. Their role is not to produce all the code, their role is to explain the freedoms well enough so that enough other people believe in some, or all, of those freedoms.

The two main threads of the article are hardware, and emacs.

Depending on how far down the stack you want to go (open microcode in your CPU?) it's generally possible to get hardware open enough for you to do anything you like. Not all hardware is open, sure, but there are enough choices.

Yes there are still closed drivers (ironic given what kicked RMS off in the first place) but careful choices play a role here.

That said, keeping an eye in the hardware, and keeping open hardware in our minds, is an excellent reason for the FSF to exist. Their job is not to win the war, its to make us care about the war at all. We will win it, if we care about it.

Emacs is a very specific example of a program run by a person who has beliefs. He builds that program to conform to those beliefs, not the beliefs of his user base.

In this case he's the printer maker not wanting his printer to work on the new hardware. His goal is not to make "the world's best editor" - his goal us to "make the world's best editor that promotes free software ideals."

Ironically, if you don't like that, you can take his work and built on it however _you_ like. He not only represents the original problem, he presents the ongoing solution.

The Freedoms are explicit. They don't give the user rights over the developer. They give the user rights to add their own work to the equation. Emphasis on work.

The FSF is not fighting the wrong war. They are not fighting at all. They are setting a marker in the ground saying "this is what could be." Our job is to notice, and care.
I think it was so rare that they didn't even have a system to handle it. Nobody was ever rerouted to Australia or charged near $40000, nobody even thought it could happen.

The bug may have been a cosmic bit flip or extreme race condition, which means it would've been near-impossible to find. Though Uber should've had a system in place to prevent a $40000 charge, there are many many "weird" behaviors which could be caused once you allow the possibility of cosmic bit flips, to detect them all.

The cited "evidence" is John Erlichman stating directly that Nixon ratcheted up enforcement of drug laws to target Black people. Why did you scare-quote that?

I'm interested in how ultra-low-dose (or "sparse" regimens) affect things (before you get triggered by homeopathy, I'm not making regard to that here..tho doesn't mean in some cases it can't be effective). For example, ultra low dose minoxidil (a blood pressure drug) reverses hair loss in many people (not if you're totally bald, but in thinning areas) at dosages where it's "on-label" effect (lowering blood pressure) doesn't even occur. I wonder how ultra-low-dose (or sparse, like "1 timer per quarter") metformin affects things.

I can't recall the compound now, but I recall seeing something the other day about: "encounter with compound X just one time permanently strengthens immune system" or something. I think it was also in mice. I'm not even sure it was "immune system".

Also want to note that: our current pharmaceutical industry of (mostly) single molecule therapies is just one slice of the pie. In the future, we will probably have access to therapies that seem really sophisticated: not just "concoctions" (of multiple compounds in one therapy, which currently we are not sophisticated enough to explore sufficiently so the space of possible interactions that are therapeutic remains unknown); but also more "active" therapies, that include some vector (like virus, protein molecular machine, funghi, bacteria) that help to deliver / manufacture the therapy to just the right: time, location, amount our body needs.

And rather than being a specialized minority, they will be the majority. I think the space of molecules that are effective when delivered "systemically" is not as large or contains as many "silver bullet therapies" as the space of therapies that is effective when delivered precisely.

Also (speaking from 1st hand experience) some big companies issue laptops that are extremely locked down - with IT needed to install any software and only after it's been vetted. This gives a bit more liberty without crossing any of the security boundaries.
Why do you need 100% iron-fist control to steer an outcome (which doesn't have to be conscious)? You just need enough influence. A little nudge here, a little nudge there. Especially when you are making millions of nudges. And he's not the only one doing it. Some nation-states and NGOs also hire people to do favorable Wikipedia edits as well.

That's like saying billionaires, corporations, media etc don't have a lot of influence (or control) over elections because everyone can theoretically donate money, outvote them etc. too.

After apple silicon was released, I was wondering if intel and amd would respond with some arm socs down the line due to the seeming "end of road" for x86. But now what if they are intending to hold out on x86 long enough (~5-7 years) to be able to go all in on riscV?
I think 2.5gbe has been standard on all higher end consumer motherboards, gaming boards, and workstation boards for 5 years now. I haven’t seen them on lower end boards but really haven’t been paying attention.
These components are not used inside any Jetbrains IDEs. Those IDEs are, of course, written in Java and cannot use a browser-based UI framework. This is for "our web-based products like YouTrack, Hub, TeamCity, and Upsource" (per the original release blog post for Ring UI). Those products support mobile.
My understanding from that thread is that there basically is a package way. The 'ns-do-applescript' is a c function, though. Providing potential speed benefits over the lisp based implementations.

It sure seems to be a much more difficult problem, because they're working right now to recover from disastrous protocol breaks that allow servers to decrypt messages in groups. I'm not so interested in what novel stuff they're working on; they don't have the table stakes stuff nailed down.

This is secure messaging. It has to work, or it's just LARPing. Can the Matrix team honestly say that their system is ready to handle life-or-death secrets?

No, but I want a more "minimal" one from what I'm seeing. I actually started with Electron and raw HTML+CSS+JS, but at some point I discovered Tauri+React and switched over and now I'm very happy programming there. It does have some major/minor limitations compared to Electron*, but also 10MB (which can apparently be reduced even further) vs 200MB and a pretty nice dev experience makes it worth it for me.

I might semi-open-source it at some point (code-readable and compile your own, or pay $4-10 for the binary) but here is the direction I'm taking so far:

Walmart is garbage for the same reason as Amazon. Unmoderated third-party sellers.
Silicon Valley. My ISP is Sonic. To be fair it’s one of those “up to” situations. But I do consistently get 3+ Gb/s.
Sponsored by Amazon are literal ads, unless you’re referring to “Amazon’s Choice” which is more or less Amazon saying what the “highest rated” item is. Sounds like you clicked an ad.
I've seen people recommend eBay over Amazon lately, because the sellers actually have to manage their reputation.
Yeah that's completely fair. For me, I looked around online for my needs and found that I actually didn't need Amazon as much as I thought. Your mileage may vary.
yea it was easy for me to figure out as well, but I am not the average person. My parent or sibling wouldnt be able to have done it.

I think there's one thing that should be clarified from the article. "Sponsored" does not mean that the product is "sponsored by Amazon" as italicized in the article. It means the seller paid money to be at the top of the search query.

Perhaps it is a healthy dose of old aged jadedness, but I have a habit of trying to avoid Sponsored items.
They also have Meteor Lake in testing.
You are measuring success in terms of specific license use. Or authorship. And by those measures its easy to say the FSF has failed.

If however you look at software as a whole, and compare today to say the early 80's, then you might note that the landscape is very different and wonder how that happened.

Today software exists unler a multitude of licenses, written by innumerable authors. A huge fraction of all software is either open, or built on open.

While Open Source and Free Software are different idealogically, they ultimately, broadly, confer the same freedoms on users.

That any of this exits _at all_ is thanks to the FSF - they won the war a long time ago. They are the very definition of success. A success that so many take for granted that we now wonder if they are useful anymore.

Hint: they are.

While I agree this is a problem - one which I have been the victim of as well - Amazon accepts the return with no questions and/or charges. This, of course, is not a great consolidation, especially for a novice who doesn't understand or encounters it too late. But I strongly disagree with "Amazon runs little to no risk selling the fraudulent products, but still makes money off of them." In the next paragraph the author outlines how they've lost trust in Amazon and will not be buying electronics. Erosion of trust is absolutely a massive risk, and one that eBay is also arguably pretty publicly recovering from. I suspect Amazon would prefer not to have fake drives and the costs associated with returns and erosion of trust for the infinitesimal rounding error that makes up the extra revenue they get from fake $20 thumb drives.
I'm far from an Amazon fanboy, but I think the problem is more complex than Amazon turning a blind eye because they're making $10k extra profit a year from phony thumb drives. As an outsider, it seems like a difficult tradeoff of not creating incredible hurdles to list products, versus counterfeits getting through.

In my case, the phony thumb drive I bought was delisted before I got home from the walk to the mailbox, literally.
To be clear, when you move accounts, your old server will notify the servers of all the people who follow you such that they will silently be updated to following your new account. This is not something you can do yourself at all; you can contact all of those people and tell them about your new account, but then they'd have to take action to follow it.
It's simply what my grandparents had in my home, back when I still cared about school and when Wikipedia was relatively new. I remember being astounded that this ancient crappy thing would be accepted, while wikipedia would not be.

You know in the world of tech they have a similar saying: "No one ever got fired for buying IBM."

This does not mean IBM is either a superior choice, or a wise choice.
Your thinking of SIM swapping attacks. SIM cloning is much harder without breaching the SIM manufacturer (often Gemalto or another giant vendor).

Rerouting traffic with a malicious home location record (like what was done to Merkel for years), or changing the eSPID/NNID for a numbers texting enablement is much easier than doing a SIM swap and you can usually avoid detection too.
> Amazon accepts the return with no questions and/or charges

But remember that Amazon keeps what's basically a social credit score on you that drops every time you return something, and then they permanently ban you (including from non-retail things like AWS and Prime Video) if it ever gets too low.
AWS is one tool but its a lot like the proprietary computing ecosystems that have existed for a long time (remember the Micro$oft days?). It offers convenience in return for lock in and very high margins. Theres no clear answer but its definitely not a clear cut decision where AWS is guaranteed to save money.

There are 2 major costs that are overlooked by the in-house crowd, which are operational maintenance cost (an increasingly rare and expensive skillset), and also the cost of downtime -- how much does it cost you when your team of data scientists are blocked because of a failed OS update etc. That being said, hiring competent people to maintain AWS properly isn't cheap either -- and it is quite easy to start running up very wasteful AWS bills on things you don't need.

As always there's a tradeoff -- the key is to choose a path and to execute it well.
It’s worth pointing out that you are not making a fair comparison when you compare the amount of data that a NN must parse to that of an individual when learning a specific new concept. A human brain is not just trained on their own lived experiences, but also the experiences of all their ancestors via the process of evolution, in addition to years and decades of general training and fine tuning.

You specifically mention Stable Diffusion, but SD has an analogue to the learning of an individual, textual inversion, which can adapt the NN to express new concepts with as few as a handful of examples.
Yes, but you're arguing that up is actually down where Putin is going to launch nukes if he got what he wants which is the exact opposite of what is likely to happen.

This isn't WWII and Putin isn't literally Hitler and you sound like you read something once about WWII in a history textbook and you're desperate to a construct a parallel with appeasement that doesn't exist.

Appeasement is still bad, but it has nothing to do with causing Putin to launch nukes. The nuclear threat is still due to him having his back against the wall and while I don't think we should back down over that, you're trying to construct an alternative reality where its the opposite actions which could result in a nuclear exchange. That is a dangerous denial of reality which doesn't help in clearly thinking about the situation at all.

Your posturing to be more anti-Putin than anyone else may make you feel better about yourself and let you get angry at everyone else that isn't as edgy as you are, but being grounded in actual REALITY is the only way to get out of this crisis without a nuclear exchange (which more or less ties in with the topic of the OP since failure to clearly understand the motives of the other party in the conflict in the cold war nearly led to nuclear annihilation). You aren't helping.

Drawing involves taking a mental image and converting it into a sequence of actions that replicate the image on a physical surface. Imagen does not do that. I think the images it generates are more analogous to the image a person creates in their mind before drawing something.

It’s funny, you think they would have some sort of checking for if a ride is even possible. This implies that in the logic of Uber’s routing and fare calculation they are able to come up with a sum for a trip that is impossible, but their own app doesn’t allow you even book the trip. Why not simply apply that same logic when billing, too? Detect that something is clearly wrong, automatically generate a support ticket, and let a human intervene before charging. Seems like a better way to handle it than just making the charge.

> at least not while airlines are still constantly losing luggage and fighting people on reimbursement.

Hah, if you're in the United States you should be fine. Federal law forces the airlines to reimburse you, even for just delayed baggage [0].

Last year my bag was delayed a few days on a trip to the mountains. My airline paid the cost to replace all of the clothing and other material in my bag. I think it ended up being ~$2100 worth. I bought items comparable to what I had brought, e.g. a lot of high-quality thermal clothing, some board games, chargers, etc, and I got to keep all of it.

Seriously? By far the most likely outcome is that they don't even bother responding.

That's how corporations operate in 2022. If you're a journalist from the Washington Post, you might get a three-line statement from a spokesperson. Everyone else gets a canned reply from a bot, or nothing at all.

I did not know the consequences were so draconian. However, I would imagine returning faulty or fake products will not trigger a score decrease.
Also, it's extra work involved in returning something that shouldn't have been delivered in the first place. Just a waste of time, resources, and what not.
