Where is the contradiction?

Regarding your new argument, which doesn't seem to be pointing out a perceived contradiction in any interpretation I can make of it, your job created the requirement because society said it didn't want age discrimination in employment. If your employer forced only older employees to get the vaccine in order to keep its insurance costs low, there would have been lawsuits. Forcing all employees to get vaccinated has well-established legal precedent and has the benefit of reducing insurance costs slightly more.
Nerfing the world will only nerf it for the powerless. The power elites will always have full power devices, flying cars, all of that.

There is no alternative to freedom.
I'm as much against slavery and mutilation as you, but I think that in reaching for this easy explanation, conveniently placing ourselves at the pinnacle of civilisation and ethics, we risk overlooking some important things.

You name child labour as an evil thing. That's a great example of something that could potentially be made even worse if you just tell people to stop doing that evil thing without doing anything about the reason people do the evil thing.

It's true that behaviours can reinforce themselves. "Machismo" could easily be a thing where you are forced to play that game because so many others play that game, and that we could all be better off if we managed to coordinate a break with those practices. I said customs can be sticky.

When I said make sure the tigers are gone, I meant just that. Maybe the tigers ARE gone, and this is just our process of unsticking our bad customs. I just don't want us to take the easy way of assuming we are inherently better than earlier generations/other cultures.
> Monsanto hasn't existed for years.

Monsanto was bought by Bayer in 2018. Its brand disappeared, but its products continue.

Although I'm not sure it's great branding when the maker of Roundup is bought by the maker of Zyklon B.
A Guide to Nutrition
Probably the best info on nutrition I have come across.
Right I totally forgot about JQuery. That too
+1 for Tarkov, its what CoD's new DMZ mode is a watered down imitation of.

I highly recommend single player mods/server emulators for EFT like Altered Escape, its a nice break from going up against meta geared super competitive players.
Maybe it can also answer the question "Why do we have to be such doomers"? Can't we appreciate what an incredible opportunity these systems can be?

1) We are forever in 'cold war', nuclear weapons can destroy the eart multiple times over since 70 years ago. Not sure how a less potent weapon supercedes this fact

2) Those models are successful with computer code because programmers have been very pro-open source and open-data since forever. We 'll have open source versions of those things soon -- we ll still need to find the hardware but i think this can be done too. Much easier to do than a nuclear bomb so i expect these systems to become ubiquitous

I wish biology and medicine have had a similar attitude to open data and open science. Imagine if you could run similar queries in genome databases or neuroscience images.

3. First we get excited, then some people will turn that fun tech to billions as before

I really don't remember people being such doomers when the internet came about. What happened?
Funny, I just realized that until today reading was an essentially social human thing.

Any sufficiently long piece of writing that made some sense had been written by another human, perhaps dead but still it was a form of connection to another life.

Now, well it’s a maybe. Odd
I mean if you like the software, and dev is still updating it, pay the man.
I'm not talking about a professional team (which would anyway absolutely kick a player out if they were repeatedly griefing their own team - a power which is usually not given to players in online team games).

I am thinking of an amateur tournament - I am quite certain a player who was blatantly acting against their own team would be kicked out by the organizers, even if they weren't explicitly breaking the rules of the game.
They would also have explosive costs and expenses.
Great, let's ban the cars doing the running over. Head injuries solved.
Cloud Native Diary #1
The start of a new blog series. Every week, I'll share my journey working with application development, platform engineering, and cloud native.
That's my take too. The proprietary software licence I could agree with is a perpetual licence combined with limited updates.

I can accept that mIRC made a mistake when they offered free updates to all future versions, and needed to walk that part back. The problem with not accepting this is that mIRC could just be forced to rerelease as mmIRC, which is bad for everybody (users lose updates unless they switch, author loses branding).

However, as you say, it should have just been the right to updates that was walked back, not the perpetual licence for the existing software.
The point this piece misses:
The data being put on the internet is often the hand-selected highest quality outputs of the image/text generator, or even human-edited to improve quality further. This puts it back in the realm of good training material.
I have zero love for YouTube, Google or Alphabet. But I feel like saying "YouTube is blatantly breaking the law" needs to be better researched to be taken serious than "yeah probably".
I've never had anyone say to me that 7 < 7.

Sometimes you can indeed trick some people with an obfuscated reasoning that has a cleverly hidden division by zero, but when they arrive at the conclusion that x < x, or x != x, they stop and accept that they got it wrong somewhere somehow. They don't insist that they're right and that the statement is perfectly reasonable and logical.
> I think you sorely underestimate how much emphasis large trucking firms put into route optimization.

I know software and I know Tesla's involvement in it. Based on your comment, I'm going to assume, they put maximum emphasis on route optimization, more than any other industry (which is probably false anyway). With that assumption, Tesla is in as good a position as a software company could ever be to hire the expertise (or outright purchase existing companies) and make the best software for fleet management IF that means they'll sell to significantly larger customer base.
Ask HN: "Made by Human” as a Merchandise Mark?
Whenever I show non-tech people the latest progress in the AI field, aversion for AI generated art is a recurring theme. They feel betrayed when I tell them that the artwork I showed them was generated by a program. It suddenly feels less meaningful to them, much like the contrast between artisanal and industrial goods.

This made me realize that the Federal Trade Commission (or equivalent organization) might soon step in and draft a "Made by Human" labeling rule to distinguish all works of literature and art made by a "human mind" as opposed to something mostly generated by an AI algorithm.

We might be a decade away from fully generated movies but you can already make beautiful paintings, short stories and rpg settings out of tools like AI dungeon. I'm pretty sure ChatGPT can write convincing (at least for outsiders) non-fiction books. If it's not already happened, generated literature will soon FLOOD marketplaces. Amazon is already struggling with tons of low-quality books whose only purpose is to to fill this-or-that marketing niche.

However, drawing the line might be more difficult than it seems. What if you're a graphic designer and you write a combinatorial program to generate abstract posters you plan to sell? In my mind, that would still count as "Made by Human". Maybe I'm stuck under the old paradigm. What does Artisanal/"Made by Human" even mean in the 21st century?
I'm not sure what's more surprising to me: that people still use mIRC, or that people were willing to pay for it in the past.
I had no idea, and for me it was another wake up call not to believe everything I read, especially on the internet. I thought it was very well written, made perfect sense, and what motive would there be to lie or misattribute? So I believed and thought I had learned something.

I consider myself skeptical, but for things like this I don't have my radar on because it's not a hot topic issue that is known for misinformation. Now I feel like I have to be concerned and have my radar on (guard up) all the time, even if it's not about something controversial. I don't feel good about that.
But it's not a support contract. It's a licence to use the software, isn't it? You can't reasonably revoke a lifetime licence-to-use; there's no cost to letting people go on using it.

There's also no marginal cost in allowing lifetime licensees to download updates.
There are no exponentials in real life, only S-curves. A given exponential may not flatten anytime soon, or it may flatten tomorrow. I'm generally a techno-optimist, but looking at high-level numbers and trends and then drawing fantastical conclusions as if those trends are infinite is just... juvenile.

Take his first example of Boston Dynamic's progress in robotics (showing the various robot dances/acrobatics) and then talking about how some time this decade we'll have humanoid sci-fi robot assistants (he specifically cites Rosie from the Jetsons). Yeah, Boston Dynamics has done some amazing work and has some great marketing, let me know when a big dog variant can go down all the flights of stairs in my house (some are carpeted, some are smooth), open my top-loading washing machine, sort through a pile of wet, clumped-together clothing for my wife's bras because those need to be hang-dried (additionally they're in a white mesh bag, so the robot needs to undo the zipper, unfold the drying rack, pull them out of the bag individually and hang them up), put the remainder in the dryer, clean the lint filter, manipulate the dryer controls to their proper settings based on visual observation/deduction of what was just washed, and start the dryer. Never mind other household chores.

Oh, the issue is we need to make washers and dryers more robot-accessible you say? Cool, who's going to buy me a new high-end washer/dryer? My landlord? I still don't own a home and my kids' college funds need filling, and I have a washer/dryer that works. So I'm not getting new appliances until something breaks beyond repair, and then I'll be taking the most reliable option at the lowest price, which won't be any shiny new tech. Maybe rich people can afford the robot-friendly appliances of the next ten years, if this guy is to be believed. The rest of us will do laundry more-or-less like it's 1949.

Nobody likes being the bucket of cold water, but blind optimism is just denial. I imagine this guy is just assuming "AI" is going to fix the problems I mentioned above. Yeah we can't even get self-driving cars to be reliable on government-regulated roads without insane amounts of effort. I'll believe it when it's more than a power-point slide
> but it's still a net reduction in injuries.

Citation needed. If they are now traveling via automobile, I doubt there is a net reduction when taking into account: vehicle injuries and fatalities, air pollution, and of course, in the long term, anthropogenic climate change.

This is a classic example of a system with perverse incentives. Everyone feels safer in their big SUV. In reality it's just an arms race, and we're all losing.
I finally went ahead and tried ChatGPT this morning (along with everyone else seemingly - it is now heavily rate-limited!) and I am truly blown away. I ask questions about various things (in my case, embedded systems development on the PineNote) and it gives the same quality of answers I would expect from a median coworker. Sure they're maybe not 100% correct, but most coworker answers aren't 100% correct either. They're at least in the right ballpark, and very rarely do we achieve detailed of knowledge of something from a single source - it's all about taking in info from various places and integrating them (conflicts and all) to derive a more-and-more-detailed grasp of the things we're learning about. The ability to ask questions about a specific thing (example: What are waveform files for e-ink screens? Followup: Is it possible to damage e-ink screens by modifying wave form files?) very quickly without having to sift through mountains of blogs and random Q/A websites and documentation and textbooks for the answer is incredibly useful.

How often do you sprint over uneven terrain? Or do you just ride your bike very slowly?

Bike speeds > 20km/h are normal and easily achievable for the untrained on flat ground. Downhill, you'll quickly go past 30km/h. This isn't something that you're doing while running for longer periods of time while you're still half-asleep.

Helmets annoy me too, but "the fastest runners can peak at speeds higher than what I reach every other day on my bike and they don't wear helmets" is a weird argument.
Keep Calm and Carry On – The Compromise Behind the Slogan (2014)
That sounds like a weak counter argument to me, 1) crdt is focusing on the conflict resolution part, access control is not in scope so you need to implement on top. 2) if you are already implementing access control, then filtering out what people don't have access to doesn't seem much more complexity. If you go the full client-side way, you can also add a cryptographic layer to whatever needs hiding 3) one thing I don't see in your solution is the offline aspect to it. With a central authority in the middle and online connectivity, conflicts become unlikely and much smaller, but with offline support, documents et can evolve in drastic ways where having a formalized strategy like what crdt offers makes sense
m1/m2 performance is only great while you live within it's limits. It's all special optimization tricks in hardware to match up with certain common software operations. Great if your usage pattern matches.

It's almost like when hardware has special bits that make benchmarks scream because they know exactly what the benchmark software does, yet normal work is the same or worse than anyone else. It's not exactly that bad. M1/M2 does perform a lot of real work a lot better. But it's "a bit like that"

It's just that it only works if your usage matches what Apple targeted as what most people will ever need to do.

> The Netherlands did a study on bike helmets

This was a British study

> and found that cars tend to be more dangerous with cyclists if the cyclists are wearing a helmet

Re-analysis showed that there actually was no significant effect. Source: https://swov.nl/en/fact-sheet/bicycle-helmets (under: "Do bicycle helmets also have adverse effects?")

> which is why there are no mandatory bicycle helmet laws in the Netherlands

We (the Netherlands) don't have helmet laws because we hate helmets, not because we did research and concluded they'd have significant adverse effects.
Exactly this, and I think this is granted with Hetzner.
It certainly would be interesting, I would certainly enjoy reading about something like that. But as this is extremely unlikely as Platos own students believe he invented the myth as a vehicle to teach philosophy. And the specific Atlantis myth that Graham subscribes to is racist, as its derived from the works of the authors in my previous post, which previous generations of psuedo archeologists have been using since then, with more or less in your face racism.

His works may be a nice story, but is fiction that is rooted in racism. Why not call it out for what it is?

I liked the article - I'm reading a management book that uses system diagrams to describe business processes and it separates resources from rates and qualities. The article muddies that with its diagrams but still gets the point across.

An example from the book are the resources of recurring customers and staff. If you add marketing, you'll gain customers, and those customers will feedback and bring in more customers by word of mouth if your service is high quality (positive feedback), but you'll also lose customers with poor qualify service and that can be negative feedback. These feedbacks aren't always flowing in only one way. If marketing leads to a surge in customers, and you don't hire more staff
quality will sink, and staff might leave due to being
overworked . This feeds back into having less staff. The book grabs hold of the causality, you have to understand how your actions will affect the entire system and plan for it.

In terms of determining causality, it’s true that major events aren’t ever simply driven by a single cause, but philosophy has studied this to deep depths and that’s where I think the article leaves the discussion too early. The arrow of time is not discussed and neither are necessary sufficient or contributory causes. LSD and Harvard Admissions may be contributory to the events of the 1960s, but not sufficient or necessary to explain assassinations.

Here’s a solution:

Go ask ChatGPT your question about python.

It’s spew is probably better than the SEO spew.

I feel like species traitor taking the side of the AI, but I think this is probably a decent way of answering a lot of questions based on a factual and rational basis that have been answered multiple times. A lot of hoopla is made over the fact you can trick it with a false premise into giving a false answer (I’d note the false premise makes all answers true), but if it can simulate a Linux box reasonably well, it can answer your questions in python module imports better than sifting through page rank collections of SEO crap.

Edit: I also think this doesn’t undermine the value of stack overflow. Bots answering there probably does. But stack overflow has always struggled with simple redundant questions and trying to curate them away in favor of new and interesting questions, and promoting novel and well explained answers. ChatGPT probably won’t do that for you. But it can load shed the redundant stuff highly effectively. And, over time, it’ll get more nuanced as more nuanced questions and answers are incorporated. But the “I need human help” button is still there and thank goodness. Maybe the load shedding will enhance the experience on SO for everyone?

I've always had a hard time visualizing the relative order and distance between months using a standard columnar calendar.

Turns out when you look up that term 'shadow banning' for one example - https://andrewlee.ventures/blog/instagram-shadowban-what-it-... it would seem to amount to a spectrum of some /probably/ justifiable cases/terms for purposes of keeping a community 'wholesome' but also to restricting anything that might be seen as competing services.

In my experience it's surprisingly fast. Egui doesn't need to redraw when it's idling, only when you're interacting with it (mouse move) or it's animating something so IMO it's not a big deal.

The motivation of using a special device to untether from the app as being ‘to reduce screen time’ seems tenuous at best. Is using an app to program in a block language to control real trains in a customizable city really ‘screen time’? And even if it is, is it automatically bad?
