I don't know - chatGPT is the first time that I've consistently used an AI product in my workflow, to the point that when the site was rate limited today, I felt a little paralyzed. Googling for answers on Stackoverflow or looking up documentation felt distinctively primitive.

> So if the website doesn't collect any data at all, except for what is needed for running the website and preventing malicious users (so, collecting ips for a week in the logs to use fail2ban), do they need a "privacy" section?

I dont think they do. There are such sites indeed and I havent seen any prompts in them.

> so, collecting ips for a week in the logs to use fail2ban

IP by solely itself wouldnt constitute 'Personally identifiable information' as far as I know. But Im not sure.

> I ask because a privacy section requires a lawyer

Not really. Website privacy legal templates already exist and they are pretty standard at this point.
> This is what I fear about AI making our jobs superfluous; it will also make our hobbies or anything we enjoy doing superfluous.

This is just silly on 2 levels. First is that programming is fun due to the artistic/creative nature of it. It's not what I program that matters, it's how I program it. No way an AI will replace the fun of thinking about code and then materializing that vision.

Second is that once an AI is good enough to write software better than us, IE. rewrite itself better, then we have reached a form of the singularity and all bets are off.
Those two sentences are equivalent, not contradictory. We commonly say that condoms prevent pregnancy and STD's, but they're not perfect either.

If the vaccine prevents one case of spread while not preventing another, it has still prevented COVID spread.

Should be worth noting that NetBSD is its own thing; FreeBSD and OpenBSD haven't had problems getting the newest GNOME versions for the entire lifetime of 3.0 and higher.

Unlike Linux, the BSDs aren't distributions of some "upstream BSD"; instead they are developed independently with different feature sets and different goals. Unique challenges for NetBSD don't reflect on how other BSD derivations behave.
Yes, it’s never either or. For one good example of the complexity, see this video [1] where Paul Offit notes the problems with the current bivalve that vaccines.

Probably the biggest environmental win would be to make arcologies: ecologically integrated cities.

> Arcology, a portmanteau of "architecture" and "ecology",[2] is a field of creating architectural design principles for very densely populated and ecologically low-impact human habitats.

> The term was coined in 1969 by architect Paolo Soleri, who believed that a completed arcology would provide space for a variety of residential, commercial, and agricultural facilities while minimizing individual human environmental impact. These structures have been largely hypothetical, as no arcology, even one envisioned by Soleri himself, has yet been built.

All the devices were Z-Wave+, it was the one thing I was buying for. Not all of them supported the new encryption standard which started rolling out after I deployed most of my switches.

This was in a ~1400 sq ft house, with a little over 200 devices (motion sensors/lights/switches/smart plugs/humidity sensors/weather sensors). The network had a few repeaters the longest hop was 2 hops from the controller to the end device.
Computer programmers have a general aversion to copyright, for a few reasons:

1. Proprietary software is harmful and immoral in ways that proprietary books or movies are not.

2. The creative industry has historically used copyright as a tool to tell computer programmers to stop having fun.

So the lack of empathy is actually pretty predictable. Artists - or at least, the people who claim to represent their economic interests - have consistently used copyright as a cudgel to smack programmers about. If you've been marinading in Free Software culture and Cory Doctorow-grade ressentiment for half a century, you're going to be more interested in taking revenge against the people who have been telling you "No, shut up, that's communism" than mere first-order self-preservation[1].

This isn't just "programmers don't have fucks to give", though. In fact, your actual statements about computer programmers are wrong, because there's already an active lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft over GitHub Copilot and it's use of FOSS code.

You see, AI actually breaks the copyright and ethical norms of programmers, too. Most public code happens to be licensed under terms that permit reuse (we hate copyright), but only if derivatives and modifications are also shared in the same manner (because we really hate copyright). Artists are worried about being paid, but programmers are worried about keeping the commons open. The former is easy: OpenAI can offer a rev share for people whose images were in the training set. The latter is far harder, because OpenAI's business model is charging people for access to the AI. We don't want to be paid, we want OpenAI to not be paid.

Also, the assumption that "art is more difficult than computer programming" is also hilariously devoid of empathy. For every junior programmer crudly duck-taping code together you have a person drawing MS Paint fanart on their DeviantART page. The two fields test different skills and you cannot just say one is harder than the other. Furthermore, the consequences are different here. If art is bad, it's bad[0] and people potentially lose money; but if code is bad it gets hacked or kills people.

[0] I am intentionally not going to mention the concerns Stability AI has with people generating CSAM with AI art generators. That's an entirely different can of worms.

[1] Revenge can itself be thought of as a second-order self-preservation strategy (i.e. you hurt me, so I'd better hurt you so that you can't hurt me twice).
While there are certainly many factors contributing to the growth of inequality, it is fairly well established that automation has contributed heavily. There has been a ton written about this so I won’t bother citing here, but googling “automation and inequality” is a start

It uses a customized model, so no matter what you type you will get quality anime & manga renders.

Its pretty enforceable. It is enforced for large corporations promptly, and you would be surprised, but if someone reports a small website from an individual or small corporation, they also get the law applied to them. Eu's enforcement website has a lot of local businesses and individuals who had collected people's emails without their permission (buying them from warez sites etc), sending out spam emails then got fined for violating GDPR for collecting data without the knowledge and consent of those people.
> Remember, COVID hasn't been shown to be particularly dangerous to young people...

I have friends in their early 30s who still haven't recovered their sense of smell. Knoew a 25-year-old who spent 4 weeks with terrible symptoms. I'm a marathon runner and lift and in my early 30s and this disease kicked the shit out of me and had 4 with reduced physical function.

It is very obviously worse than the worst flus almost everyone had and the flu is sufficiently dangerous that it has a nontrivial effect in human quality of life.
> there are non-cryptographic hashes and checksums that are extraordinarily fast.

Is it still true that CRC32 is only about twice as fast as SHA1?

Yeah I know the XX hashes are like 30 times faster than SHA1.

A lot depends on instruction set and processor choice.

Maybe another way to put it is I've always been impressed that on small systems SHA1 is enormously longer but only twice as slow as CRC32.

For a lot of interoperable-maxing non-security non-crypto tasks, CRC32 is not a bad choice, if its good enough for Ethernet, zmodem, and mpeg streams its good enough for my telemetry packets LOL. (IIRC iSCSI uses some variant different formulae)
An unsourced tweet from a Ukrainian propaganda account that someone under the age of 18 was detained for 90 days is not the same as actual UN confirmation that Ukrainians have castrated and cut the fingers off of Russian POWs, as well as executed POWs, or that they regularly run torture and death squads seeking out those who speak Russian in Ukraine, or that Ukrainian snipers have been targeting the killing of children in Donbas, or that thermite was regularly dropped on civilian population centers in Donbas, or that dozens of Russians were burned alive in the Trade Union building in Odessa in 2014. Oh, and today, massive shelling in Donetsk again, which has been happening on a daily basis since the ultra-nationalists took over in 2014.

Curious, anyone working on automation in the mining space? I'm interested in jamming out with people about doing work in the industry. Or using airships in places like africa to transport minerals from mines to regional hubs (e.g. to avoid the huge delays on roadways currently happening between DRC and Zambia).
On the scale that micromorts work, that isn't something that it measures well. Micromorts work best for the acute risk "do X and this is your chance of dying." Adding in things that are chronic risks doesn't factor into micromorts well.

Consider "traveling 230 miles by car is 1 micromort"... but that doesn't account for impaired driving or any of the other factors known to influence likelihood or survival of a car crash.

The numbers would likely change if you further specified them, but they are useful for the broad comparisons and risk analysis.

If you've got someone going skydiving every weekend, what does that do to their life insurance rates? Well, skydiving is 8 micromorts per jump. So that's 400 micromorts per year. And that goes into some insurance premium cost calculations.

From Wikipedia:

> Micromorts for future activities can only be rough assessments, as specific circumstances will always have an impact. However, past historical rates of events can be used to provide a ball park, average figure.

Another part of this is a study about risk acceptance.

> An application of micromorts is measuring the value that humans place on risk. For example, a person can consider the amount of money they would be willing to pay to avoid a one-in-a-million chance of death (or conversely, the amount of money they would receive to accept a one-in-a-million chance of death). When offered this situation, people claim a high number. However, when looking at their day-to-day actions (e.g., how much they are willing to pay for safety features on cars), a typical value for a micromort is around $50 (in 2009). This is not to say the $50 valuation should be taken to mean that a human life (1 million micromorts) is valued at $50,000,000. Rather, people are less inclined to spend money after a certain point to increase their safety. This means that analyzing risk using the micromort is more useful when using small risks, not necessarily large ones.

That last sentence is an important one when looking at this.

Would you be willing to be paid $150 to get vaccinated?
60% of the population over a 5 month period had detectable levels of antibodies in their blood, so it's at least 60%.
IIRC they are only detectable for a few months (but that maybe also depend on the way of testing I don't know) which would means it's closer to 100% than to 60%.

The risk comparison is indeed not trivial, but I think it's a safe bet that you're going to get covid.
That's less devices over a larger area than I had.

Really, the big win is going to be "efficient air conditioning for poor countries" and "using materials other than concrete to build."

Everyone loves AC. The more money you have the more you use it.

And everyone in poor countries uses concrete to build.

The bad thing is that these two things combine: the concrete box that is your building heats up like a brick oven, making AC work more. Doh!

Sure but if you take a student loan in the U.K. starting pay in the civil service wouldn’t even put you above the repayment threshold.

Fair enough but this doesn't mean that the research is finished, just the reporting on it is getting harder. People who actually work with these things instead of pushing their agenda are not really influenced by the politics because what they find is not political.

Yes of course, I meant to say 1 kW·h = 1 kg; but I'm not certain if I remember correctly now; I could be off by a factor of 10 I guess. It was either 1 kg battery weight = 1 kW·h, or perhaps he said 10 kW·h had to be contained in a 1 kg battery to allow all types of air travel.

I think the 100 kW·h Tesla batteries found in the Model S/X weigh around 750 kg; so I guess electric air travel is still difficult unless a battery breakthrough happens; at least in terms of weight.

Just as petrol, cookies have energy density of zero until mixed with oxygen. Just like TNT, or more like black powder, batteries have all components required to yield energy in one enclosure, which is why there are battery explosion videos and no cookie explosion videos.
"Not perfect" and "has a small impact" aren't the same. If condoms had the same failure rate in preventing STDs/pregnancy as the COVID vaccines do for preventing infection, we wouldn't use them. Luckily, preventing infection isn't the only goal of vaccines, so it's still worth getting for the protection from severe illness and death.

I'm 100% confident I could build a "facebook" with a better UX than facebook. Heck, facebook used to have better UX back in the days before they started focusing on monetization.

That's not the problem. The problem is how do you get that critical mass of 10s of millions of users to make it viable. I keep wondering if there's an opening for niche social networks - but I've seen a lot of such small groups (e.g., python developers located in a specific city) set up shop on Slack and it seems to work well enough.

I'm a little confused here. I'm not trying to convince you of the anti-vaxxer side.

You said:

To which I posted a link of a guy who is acting as if this is some kind of research supporting the anti-vaxxer claims. The comments were trying to head off the exact thing that happened. Because those users know the pattern. They know why this was posted. It was posted specifically as "vindication" for anti-vaxxers. Those comments to point out that this study does not in any way vindicate anti-vaxxers are needed and the people who made them were right to make those comments.

Look, I like the paradise you created. You only forgot about who we are.

> There’d be very little need to work for almost every human on earth.

When mankind made a pact with the devil, the burden we got was that we had to earn our bread though sweat and hard labor. This story has survived millennia, there is something to it.

Why is the bottom layer in society not automated by robots? No need to if they are cheaper than robots. If you don't care about humans, you can get quite some labor for a little bit of sugar. If you can work one job to pay your rent, you can possibly do two or three even.
If you don't have those social hobbies like universal healthcare and public education, people will be competitive for a very long time with robots. If people are less valuable, they will be treated as such.

Hell is nearer than paradise.

hey thanks so much for the explanation. so my question about cljscript and thymeleaf vs htmx was because they all do the same thing.
im totally sold on the server side aspect of the whole thing...and especially the "full stack developers" aspect.

what im not sold on is HTMX specifically. im kind of wondering things like "hey what if we just used alpine.js with JSP or thymeleaf and skip htmx entirely", etc

what im getting incrementally with htmx is a bit unclear...while staying in the server side rendering of things.

> GDPR is the only example in your list that is factual and that's because Europe requirements for market agreements

That is a big factor in proliferation of such agreements, however thats not the normal mechanic. Japan has no need for copying EUVAT to trade with the Eu for example. But they are doing it. Also, various US states implemented similar schemes without any such need.

> Talking about culture perspective you seem to admire the EU regulatory frame

I explicitly do. What you are seeing with the emergence of recent regulations like GDPR, digital gatekeepers is due to the ascent of pro-people, pro open web parties that grew from pirate party roots coming to power in the Eu parliament.

> A quality assurance institution named INMETRO exists since the 70s

Eu started as a coal cooperation organization in mid 1950s and by 70s most of its institutions and practices were in place - especially in the direction of consumer, product and manufacturing regulations. It was the example even by then.
