The new Dune does what villeneuve does in all his films. Like go watch Arrival or Bladerunner 2049, they all have this big sweeping shots, every frame is a painting. Villeneuve sees films as a way to capture the visual feeling of something being bigger then you. All his films do this. In Bladerunner 2049 Villeneuve literally has the hologram girl as a giant hologram that Ryan Gosling's character encounters when he is deciding whether he exists as a person or not. She stands there demonstrating that the world has digitized and moved away from humanity so far that whatever humanness is left is whatever you decide for yourself. The best part of this movie I thought was that then this relationship between Ryan Gosling and the hologram girl becomes the most human relationship in the film. Because they chose it to be that way. Even though neither one is actually human.
I'd rather move someplace slightly better like... Queens

The word "literally" literally means "literally" but figuratively it means "figuratively".
Everytime topics like this are mentionned, with the totalitarian regimes in North Korea, Iran or elsewhere, it's funny to see how free access to resources, VPNs, open internet, etc... is treated differently. Good when it comes to dictatorships, but evil when in the west.
See also: game piracy. People who install cracked games are mostly kids, or people who can't afford the game. GabeN was right, piracy is a service problem. Any additional piracy after you solved the service problem was never going to be sales anyway, and now you're just spending money to prevent people from playing your game.

Sadly Dinorwig is closed with no sign of reopening soon. It sounds incredible to visit!
For me, the only metric is: can people leave from there? People cannot leave North Korea, ergo it sucks.

You and I almost fit the definition of VN probes if you allow for mutation. Stephen Baxter's writing covers that notion on his book Evolution as a minor point.
How will websites like reddit, facebook and co be able to convince advertisers that they are not paying to show ads to bots? Maybe they will come up with countermeasures. Because how is that not threatening their hundreds of billion dollar business models?
TBF, it's exactly the title of the article, and going by my experience with titles of scientific papers, limited as it may be, papers proposing some method of doing something often omit the "Proposal for..." from the title.

“allowed”? Who exactly did we ask permission? The government should live in fear of the governed.
Of interest:
"The male voice, tinged with a Southern-sounding accent, stopped him cold: I’m going to slit your throat."

What would you think if Vice had written:

"The male voice, tinged with a Black-sounding accent...."

"The male voice, tinged with an Asian-sounding accent...."

"The male voice, tinged with an Italian-sounding accent...."

Why of course you'd think "That publication is hate mongering! They're trying to subtly guide the reader to bad thoughts about their target!"

Which is exactly true.
I thought this sounded familiar, and sure enough[1].

Edit: To make it explicit, which Palladium notably fails to do: this person is a reactionary and has a history of encouraging young girls to commit suicide.

... and then the author points to a screenshot of a tweet (the "drop out of college, default on your student loans" etc (of which the most controversial part is about not getting the covid vaccine) that would seem totally quaint under lots of pretty tame contexts (from 60s counter-culture and 70s punk fanzines all the way to modern leftists), as if the average Joe is the standard after which anything becomes scary...

How Big Tech’s ‘toxic’ business model is fuelling the climate crisis
Totally agree. I would not even begin to compare our societies with North Korea but one does not need equality of situation to make a comparison.

The tendency in the West is clearly to suppress content, decide arbitrarily what is good and what is evil, what you should watch and not watch.
Click bait tries to induce a reflexive response, typically by trying to induce fear.

IMO the problem is that complex systems is not a field that is taken seriously yet. It got off to a bad start years back with that shitty James Gleick Chaos book.

We just don't have enough people thinking about this as a SIR model on a social graph to spark the conversation. We literally lack the critical mass of people understanding the language. Without the language the thoughts don't exist.

I don't know which timeline you're commenting from, but as someone that works with both Lenovo and Apple laptops, there is simply no comparison. The Lenovo's trackpad borders on unusable. In fact it is unusable when booting/waking from 'sleep'. It literally has to warm up! I use an MX Master 3S with both, and it works fantastically well connected via Bluetooth on both platforms - surprising so for the Lenovo.
Creative works are not scientific expressions, in the main.

There have been successful copyright cases, where someone creates something new, but it contains something that has been created before. A character, like Mickey Mouse, or some other player. The entire work is new, undeniably, and it is still a violation of the rights of the copyright owner.

Fan Fiction is fine, but only within some very strong restrictions. You can't turn around and create a new product out of it, without undertaking some very careful changes first. Fan Fiction isn't copying any sentences. No pixels. But it can still be stealing, if you step a foot wrong.

If you allow your AI to be trained on non-free data - the copyright question of whether it is now safe to use as a product, is not yet fully determined.
I mean, there's a threat model here. Some people are worried about Telegram knowing who they are, others are worried about Telegram's users knowing who they are. I can see some people being satisfied by a "pay-for-identifier" scheme. Wouldn't bother myself due to the blockchain obfuscation when it could have just been a username login.
There are currently people in Russia with near-unlimited access to internet (and until quite recently with near-unlimited access to travel) who sincerely believe that the West is hell on Earth.

Recommended summertime itinerary:

Fly into New York City. Visit museums there for several days. See a Broadway show. See the Intrepid.

Take the train down to Washington DC. Several days at the Smithsonian there, including a trip out to the Udvar-Hazy Center. Take a day trip by train to Baltimore to see the National Aquarium and the Maryland Science Center.

Rent a car, drive to a beach town in Virginia for a weekend; drive back and take the train back to NYC. Or, drive up to a Delaware beach instead and return the car in NYC.

See the other museums in NYC that you missed the first time. Fly home.
>a call to arms against all those

wrt interventionism and avoiding past mistakes: Keep in mind a big part of what has kept the north korean regime so stable is the memory of plentiful massacres that occurred during the war. Villages that were killed due to suspicion of collaboration and a south Korean dictatorship till 88 or so.

As others pointed out by others as well: Much of what ends up reported about NK ends up being fake. I have no doubt that NK is a brutal authoritarian regime but after all the fake stories i kind of tune out to news like this.

I use two filters:

1. I only buy (and read) a book that is at least 10 years old. For me, 10 years is enough for other people to figure out if a book is worth to read. 95% of all books that are today's bestsellers turn out not to age well. Because none of the books are new, I can usually buy them used.

2. I'm only buying it if I'm pretty sure I'm going to read it. I always read the digital preview and sometimes (if available) I download the digital version which I read for a while. I want to know if I'm going to read the book before buying it.
I hate Lenovo keyboards. Too spongy, and key presses often don't register.
Emotions have a purpose - disgust to keep us away, love to keep us together, lust to procreate, fear to chase us from danger. Without a purpose for an emotion, it's hard to see why these would happen. And maybe their emotions would be baffling to us because their world is so alien.
The US has yet to murder its war criminals, as they keep drone bombing and invading. Is it the fault of the people of the US?
Yep. I've passed on this generation of fully electric vehicles because none of them offer physical buttons to operate the climate control.

Automatic climate controls don't cut it--change directions such that the sun starts beating down on me and I'm going to need to turn up the fans beyond what automated systems would choose. Test driving the Tesla Model S, on two separate occasions while attempting to set the climate controls I almost got into a wreck--it not only is only on the touchscreen, but also buried under something like 5 menus. WTF? Volvo XC-40 and Mustang also have no climate control buttons. In my area, all the other electric cars have a waiting list longer than a year. I want to buy electric, but safety is paramount--driving a car is far and away the most dangerous thing I do on a daily basis and I'd like it to be as safe as possible. I ended up with a Subaru this time.

Hopefully someone will make an electric car with physical buttons for the climate controls.

Depends on how low your battery was. Here's a quote from their november update:

"CPU frequency scaling, device runtime PM (for select devices), hardware auto-PM… even prior to this release, users could already get 10+ hours of idle runtime. With DCP and proper display DPMS, that now goes as high as 30+ hours (powered on, screen off)!"

[...]

"While s2idle does work, it’s in its infancy and we haven’t debugged all driver issues yet. Here’s what works:

NVMe is shutdown
WiFi goes into S3 mode
Display (DCP) goes into DPMS (backlight & screen fully off)
DARTs power gate & restore state on resume
CPUs stay in shallow idle
Some misc devices (i2c/spi/etc) power off
Wakeup via power button or lid open

"

So they report 30 hours of battery life with display off (not sure if it was in s2idle or just normal screen off operation). So if you close the lid overnight, it should eat <30% of the battery.
It depends on the domain. Most scientific software, on the other hand, works out of the box on Linux and Mac, and if you want to get it to build and run on Windows, well, you're most likely going to be the first one so good luck if there are any issues as the authors won't bother with non-unixy compatibility.
I haven't kept up, but my understanding was flights keep shrinking. Planes were flying near-empty, or even completely empty to maintain hangar contracts on either end. Making them bigger also increases the minimum fuel needed. Smaller planes can be used to respond to changes in demand and popularity of destinations in a way huge planes can't.

"re-purposing idle office space" was a good thing last year, no? When "work from home" was gonna be permanent and we all needed to host a bit of our employers workspace in our homes at our expense?

Surely no other offices in the area have similar affordances for the employees, right? So there's no need for a more general enforcement of these rules, just to make sure it doesn't appear as if a city is taking action for nothing but political theater.
Yeah, I feel like cryptocurrencies only have a chance of providing value to some users if it's not actually very succesfull.

- If it's successful in providing anonymous transactions to everyone: Regulated to death due to laws aimed at combating money laundering and organized crimes. Even cryptocurrencies that aren't perfectly anonymous will probably eventually be regulated to death for not providing good enough guarantees about the identity of the wallet holders.
- If it threatens the Eurodollar as a world reserve currency: regulated to death at least in USA and probably Europe.

In what scenario can cryptocurrencies actually achieve its goals without risking being regulated to death?

And yes, I know you can't effectively ban all trade of cryptocurrencies. But trade will always be a niche if most people can't use it in the real world.

> ELisp is a terrible programming language.

Why do you think so? My main gripe is the lack of namespaces and proper modules, but there are many languages in Top 10 on TIOBE that share this problem. The only other problem is a clunky, decades old standard library. Lack of consensus around async processing is less important, but also irritating.

Other than that, Elisp improved tremendously in the last 5 years, and it keeps improving with every release. The stdlib is getting some long overdue cleanups and sensible convenience modules are added regularly. The language features of other languages are being readily incorporated in the form of macros. The live environment along with "self documenting" code makes for a rapid dev feedback, and tools like built-in Edebug and 3rd party packages like Paredit and EROS make editing Elisp code more pleasant than most other languages.

Obviously, Elisp has many problems, it's not ideal, but it's nowhere near "terrible" in my opinion. At least not anymore.
When you get struck by a watering hole attack and drag malware inside the corporate network that proceeds to start encrypting everything not only for your own system, but your coworkers around you and an entire team of developers is sitting around twiddling their thumbs while all the systems are restored, that's when we realize playing fast and loose with stuff off the internet can have far reaching effects.
