Definitely. "Live free or die" means more than anything, that if no one will sacrifice themselves in the fight for justice, then you will be oppressed, your family will be oppressed, and your children will be oppressed as will your friends and their families.

If everyone believes in the idea of "live free or die" then there is a chance to not live and die a slave to a dictator.

I prefer living to life.

I was extremely moved by the Hong Kong protestors who were living the morals of my forefathers, while my peers here in America were busy bootlicking while talking about how awesome their freedom to lick boots is.

This quote is the parent quote of "live free or die":

> "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

It captures the idea clearly.

Nobody under like 40 uses email for personal communication.

Yeah it's a legacy medium for stuff like your bank, maybe it's the least terrible option for B2B communication, but email has largely been replaced already.
I disagree, in my opinion censorship is when an authority, like the government, punishes speech.

If I uses the nword on twitter and get banned would that be censorship? It's listed with deadnaming in the TOS
Yes, but space is shared. You can't just put anything you want in space. You preclear all the space launches, else the other nuclear powers might take your launch for an ICBM launch.

If you put a giant laser fryer in orbit, you can expect China to be very unhappy. For example, they could see that any ship they plan to send to invade Taiwan could be fried.

Who cares what China thinks, you say? Well, they can put nuclear weapons in orbit, what are you going to do about that?

Superpowers don't like to gratuitously start the escalation game, if they can help it.

I've updated my post to address this. While some of that is in the user's control lots of this happens behind the scenes ie: AWS banning users of SES who send out spam emails, GMail banning the spam accounts, hosting providers removing domains or infra that host malware/C2 infra, etc. This is all happening constantly behind the scenes to stop what is very literally "speech", what might even be legally protected speech (certainly you can put the source code for malware online, you can even write and deploy malware - people do it all the time for pentesting).

> This would be great for Rally racing games, since it's all about reacting to unknown terrain.

Indeed, eventually you know the tracks by heart, so much so that you don't need the pacing notes anymore. I'm surprised nobody thought of using procedural generation here.

It's not exactly true that you react to unknown terrain, though, because IRL there's reckons in order to make pace notes, and I suspect that rally races tend to happen more-or-less on the same roads.

PS: actually someone did think about using procgen for rally games: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/procedurally-genera...
I wrote my first web app to track my rebates :). Even had some sign ups. Vbscript with an Access database. Worked pretty well.
I think the internet is in a bit of a risky place right now. People don't know what to trust online, and scammers and manipulators are taking advantage of it. People are believing wild conspiracy theories and finding ample "evidence" to support them online. And contradictory information is either paywalled or has been labelled untrustworthy by the scammers or has become itself untrustworthy in trying to optimize for clicks/ad revenue. A quote I heard recently: "the truth is paywalled, but the lies are free."

This causes issues. "Democracy needs an educated populace to survive", and right now the populace is drowning in misinformation and just plain noise.

Workers in tech are definitely less susceptible to it because we see the tendencies much earlier. But I think there is some value in trying to add some friction. Because the majority of people _aren't_ tech workers. And they aren't prepared yet.

And to be clear, I have no doubt that this technology will become fully available in the near future. I do think until then, the friction / slower roll out is a good thing.
Honestly it's amazing how fresh these elements have stayed over the years. The rag dolls are so exaggerated it's really funny. It was like an early version of Goat Simulator.

in fact, they actually do do this, don't they? Quite a lot of COVID-19 deniers demanded proof of "isolation" i.e. they demanded someone to show them a vial of pure COVID-19 virus and then somehow prove that's really what's in the vial. And they demanded proof of "Koch's postulates" i.e. that injecting people with the stuff in the vial gives them COVID-19, etc etc.

e.g. this FOIA request: https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/fre...
JITs do PGO all the time. It’s their bread and butter.
That's not the case. There are a lot of hosting providers and reverse proxies that will gladly host malware and their upstream ISPs (which this thread is about, not hosting) will not block them. But what happens instead is they (either domains or IPs) get added to lists of phishing or malware enabled by default on most clients (browsers). Google has Safe Browsing and SpamHaus is probably the most popular spam list.

In contrast, nobody accidentally visits KiwiFarms. And there is nothing done to you (malware to download or your information being stolen) if you accidentally do.
Peak tech.

This feels rather behind the curve, like the author is just figuring
out what we've been saying here for many years now. But the difference
is that it's now okay for an MIT professor of AI Ethics to say it.

That's the crucial change. People are saying it. At the school. At the
hospital. Out in public amongst friends one used to "keep up
appearances" for. I can discuss it with my boss. Even my aged but
highly intelligent mother pesters me about it....

"Digital technology creeps me the fuck out and I just don't want it in
my life any more".

The emotional, spiritual even social disadvantages now outweigh the
purported advantages. For me, that's "peak-tech", which is not
necessarily about demand or economics. It's the cultural turning point
we're at.

We built this stuff. So we better start thinking about how we're going
to fix it.

Similar 'cashback' deals exist even now... You rarely get 100% back. Often there isn't too much fine print either, and the payout rate is ~90% in my experience.

Sometimes they insist in paying in amazon vouchers or some other 'almost cash' currency.

They are very common on subscriptions.

And yet despite your incredulous, fake outrage, the stats simply show that test prep helps people significantly.

If you really want more reasons, read the other response that DiogenesKynikos gave to you in the post.

My problem is with you make false statements here. Be as mad as you want about the fake that test prep helps a lot of people, significantly, but do not make false claims, and ignore the fact that the stats show that it works.
I kind of did. Tldr: gather some allies, create a secret council, push changes from the inside.

It is an ongoing thing, but I found friends with the same values and we are trying to change the environment that cause the burnouts. At the same time I have to convince myself that coding and managing is not the actual root cause of the burnout.

Having friends who share the same sentiments helps. But the most important thing was to identify what exactly is the root cause and bash it.

Talking about it to your manager will help alot if your manager cares. In my case, my manager talked and get the head of department hire a veteran that becomes my mentor and take over some of my workload.

Hiring properly actually helps! It lets good people in. Once onboarded, they alleviate your burdens so you could think of strategies that to change the environment so it's better for everybody. This changed my mind about hiring people, since I previously had a bad experience with hiring when my company was in a hypergrowth phase.

In my case the cause was the classic pm-does-not-know-technical-stuffs-yet-plan-everything-ahead-behind-closed-door-and-say-the-final-decision. Fixed deadline, immature product desig that doesnt account for technical limitations. So often either we had to: 1.) Propose a fix now and add more to our plate so we crunch, or 2.) Not propose a fix and risk ourselves getting woken up in the future.

We kind of had to learn a bit of PM-ing so we "understand their language" and have the ability to persuade them into understanding what happens on the other side and making changes that beneficial for the whole team.

Things are changing slowly. Processes changes within the orgs for the better. Some external influences still could reverse the progress. But a celebration for small steps is in order! Party with the people you care and cares about you.
Humans are potentially dangerous, right? And so we have a large number of laws that we must follow or risk our freedom or even our destruction.

But all of a sudden we create an AI that is capable of being potentially dangerous and the idea of putting restrictions on that is a conspiracy....

I do wonder about my fellow humans at times.

> I would say it's fairly easily enforceable if the government simply passes a law that requires a "licensed AI Engineer" to approve a design before it gets used commercially.

Would this include any type of AI because a simple linear regression is technically "AI".

This seems to me to be a problem specifically because the issue people have with models like dalle is that they could be used for harm (e.g., generated deep fake porn, cp, etc.), but that is left up to the consumer. The same could be said about any product. This seems to be akin to trying to "ban math" like then the US tried to ban the export of crypto. It necessarily fails in the end because no regulation can actually stop it, and once it exists it exists.

Plus, one could just set up a foreign hosted VPN and sell their "regulated" product from outside the US anyway.
The courts still can decide it. Joshua Conner Moon can sue his ISP and demand they reinstate his website.
> The logic of weighing cost and benefits is sound

I disagree, though that's obviously been a central question in philosophy since Aristotle.

Is the logic of weighing costs and benefits sound if they had been experimenting on human babies instead of monkeys? I think most people would argue not. So if it's that you're arguing that because they're monkeys that's different, and that might be OK, but the whole reason they've chosen monkeys here is precisely because they believe their brain and neurological systems are close enough to our own that they would react similarly, for example, to having a child stolen from its mother.

Honestly, I think trying to defend this in a morally consistent framework requires some mental gymnastics I'm not capable of.
The thing is that at a certain level, things just become essential infrastructure to function.

Moon has its own server, its own network (AS), a colocation that is willing to host his server as long as he does not violate US law or ignores incoming complaints.

But now it's the peering companies just refusing to route to them, based on some complaints that might not even be fact checked. For many that could be considered essential infrastructure, since you cannot simply start your own peering company.

For reference, his .is domain was taken down since people complained about CSAM hosted on his site. But in fact the links provided were not CSAM. But who is willing to check with that and potentially having to deal with law enforcement as a consequence for this? Likely no one, thus they drop him to stay on the safe and easy side then to protect a costumer that's could be trouble, even if some accusations are wrong.

It's a bit similar as with roads or with the post. Many people dislike Joe Rogan I guess. But imagine now disallowing him to drive on certain roads, UPS/DHL refusing to send packages to his address, AT&T disconnecting his lines because they disagree with him.

Surely at some point you cannot just build everything on your own.

And that's all for services that are (still) considered to be legal, but for which companies just are not willing to take up the heat.

It depends on what kind of embedded reports you need. Most BI tools offer iFrame-based integration as simplest way to embed visuals into any kind of front-end.

Our BI tool (https://www.seektable.com) is often used as embedded BI with a very good value-for-money (about $250/mo for on-premise installation with white labeling). It is possible to embed individual reports, dashboards (that can contain custom visuals, your devs will like the approach) and even 'app view' (where users can make ad-hoc queries in a self-service manner).
> Why not just learn the material instead? It's a much more useful skill. And you can be proud that you did it without gaming the test

Because gaming the test works, as the stats prove. And these tests are very important for college admissions.

There is no reason to handicap one's self, just because someone from the peanut gallery is yelling in incredulous outrage.
It’d be interesting to know how much radiation this was, and what would have happened if someone just walked out there and grabbed it. Or put some double sided tape on the end of a stick.

Think of it in terms of CAP (consistency (eventually), availability, and partitions). CAP applies to any data in your system.

Most people think of CAP with distributed data stores, where you have to worry about when you write to the datastore when will that be available everywhere and how long will be out of sync and what network conditions will break that.

But it really applies to anything. With Redux, the state is stored in the browser. Is it consistent? Well, it's the only place the data is stored, so yes. Is it available? From the user's perspective, yes. It's always available to them as long as their device is available to them. What happens when there is a partition? Well, they can't get to your app at all, so the state won't change. But that's fine because they aren't worrying about that if they can't get to your app.

So for redux, it is consistent and available but is not partition resistant, which is just fine for that use case.

For the database that the app is based on, it's a different calculus. Having a single data store would be bad because while it would be consistent and partition resistant, it wouldn't be available at all times. Chances are your use case would prefer available as the most important aspect for a web app, and then you have to trade off consistent or partition resistant depending on the use case.
What I dislike is that email addresses have become the primary key of online identity. Many services don't even have usernames anymore. I still think that government should furnish something like an online postal address. Protected with gov issued hardware keys (U2F?), white listing for recipients maybe. To be used only for gov business, banking, gas, water, etc. If those things are essential to life, and in turn depend heavily on email (here they do for sure), they should not be handled by fickle Big Tech.

Are you trying to say that China is perfectly fine with creating dangerous AI? Well at least until starts spitting out millions of transmogrified Winnie the Xi images.
“Linear” is in practice the official name. The only additional specificity you can have is to give the scalar conversion factor from your linear colors into physical units like lumens or candela or watts per solid angle or surface area. What linear means is that you’re working in a scaled set of physical units. The scale factor is the only thing missing.

You might not ever need the physical scale factor, it doesn’t generally matter. You probably didn’t set your light or color intensities in three.js using physical units in the first place, and even if you did you might be simply scaling the values until things look right. We usually scale the inputs and outputs manually anyway, so the absolute scale of the intermediate linear color space in CG is frequently irrelevant.

HDR is mostly referring to whether your values are conceptually [0..1] or [0..infinity]. Sometimes people are also referring to how many bits get used per color channel. (But note that the R is HDR is referring to ‘range’ and not to ‘resolution’.) 8 bit color values that represent [0..1] are unambiguously LDR, while 32 bits per channel color values that represent [0..inf] are unambiguously HDR. If you use 16 bit colors and your range is [0..3] to allow for headroom and glare effects, it’s not really considered HDR, but it’s not exactly LDR either. It mostly only makes sense to work with HDR values in a linear color space, but it’s not strictly or by definition necessary.

“Linear sRGB” gets used sometimes, and what it means is that a color was converted from sRGB into linear. So the space is actually just linear. It’s useful to know if a color came from sRGB sometimes, because there’s less worry about going back into sRGB if you know it came from sRGB originally, and it helps you understand something about the scale and brightness of your linear values. If you have linear values and don’t know where they came from, you have no point of reference, and no idea if a value of 0.1 means invisible black, blinding white, or just middle gray. But unless I scale the linear colors, I do know a linear sRGB value of 0.1 is a dark gray that’s visible, because I know that the range of color is approximately [0..1] because it came from sRGB.
I first heard of kiwifarms in relation to swatting one of the US congressmembers ( which frankly is likely the reason we are seeing this domino falling into place ). I have no sympathy for swatters, but there are laws in place to handle those.

To me it is sad, because the trend is unmistakable. The 90s internet has been dying for a while, but it will just not be there ( or likely partially move to tor-land ) for my kids.

For all those, who are cheering this on. You are effectively stamping your approval on the concept 'forbidden knowledge' and that 'some people need to be silenced for the greater good'. I am not being hyperbolic.
I've built a small cli utility to search the database: https://sr.ht/~rakoo/magneticos/. It also asks the DHT and known trackers for the liveness of the swarms, so I can sort by seeders. It's simpler and more useful than running a full webserver with ports and all when I only need an ssh access. It has served me well and will be more than enough for a long time
You wouldn't be able to, I don't really post anything on HN that would really tie back to my uneventful and unremarkable real life. I don't see what this has to do with the fact that if you Google someone you can find public records of them, and that you should be able to reproduce and share factual information.
Assuming this does happen, and that there are no more LTS kernels released before it does, it will still end up being almost 38 years of support for it (i486 launched in April 1989, Linux 5.10 EOL in December 2026). I wish we had mobile devices with official software support for even half that long.
No, the levels are not useless, far from it. Even if you just print to stdout, prefixing each line with a (maybe colored?) level info is very useful. Also, if later you decide to use xyz format, it is trivial to implement this. Changing all logging calls? Not so much.

I don't think you should generalize people who support censoring hate speech as defending sex offenders. There may be a small group of people who happen to do both, but most of us who have better morals would generally give the benefit of doubt to victims when there's no credible refutal of the claims. I haven't been following this specific case though so I can't say any more than that.

As for diyhrt.wiki, they added a prompt asking you to confirm you're over 18 a while ago. Of course people can just lie, but even if you do that, the site does warn of possible risks and recommends having a blood test taken once every 3 months for the first year. Also, while it's good to be cautious, the risk is still not that big. If we were talking about surgeries that would be riskier, though you can't exactly DIY that.
