It doesn't even make sense in this context, unless you are implying people shouldn't be free to read what they want (since federation is mostly about the reading).

And even if it wasn't, then yes I do believe that freedom of choice is more important than freedom of speech.

We had a depression 14 years ago.

They just called it The Great Recession.

What do you think my argument is? For me it is not hard to imagine things ever happening when they already happened.
I mean, I don't think there is one. There's no magic number that's the goal (or well, I suppose in the broadest possible view there's the theoretical maximum efficiency, but that's a long, long way off). In general, better efficiency is better than worse efficiency.

> in other forms of progress the goal post is pretty clear

I'm not sure that's true. Incremental progress is fairly common. A 7nm feature size microchip is generally better than a 10nm one (from the same manufacturer, at least; annoyingly, people are increasingly fudging the numbers there), which in turn was better than a 13nm one and so on, as an example.

> The language will be enforced onto professors as they routinely crawl and scan their own domains [1].

You don't seem to understand how academic departments are organized. I can't see any content on the link you provided (it just has a header that reads "News"), but faculty are not subject to the style guidelines of the IT department, especially if they are tenured. Faculty hire/fire decisions are made by the Chair and Dean of the respective departments, and they aren't bound by these kinds of lists either.

Feel free to criticize and ridicule as much as you want, using whatever words you want. No one will stop you, especially Stanford. But the fear you articulate here regarding faculty freedom of thought is baseless.

Not literally but effectively.

There is not enough housing available that is affordable to people whose only income is whatever the minimums the government can provide.

Accordingly they're homeless. There's also not enough temporary shelters for people who are homeless, so the only option is to sleep in a tent outdoors.

Sleeping in a tent outdoors is against the law.

So in effect there is no real alternative for these persons but to break the law.

Supreme Courts in Canada (unsure on the USA) have noted this fact, that people have literally no choice but to break the law, and have accordingly ruled that cities are not legally able to stop people from setting up tents in public land (parks) if there is no other housing options available. (Cities are however able to put time limits on tenting in parks)
What's not to like about getting immortality for free? Of course, I would happily accept it.
I wonder if they used BSTR. Which was made for COM and OLE. Iirc vb and vbscript basically spoke COM.

Each BSTR is on the COM heap, and they have just one length field, no notion of "capacity". So you don't get amortized constant time appends.

The NT kernel had UNICODE_STRING which had a capacity. So many string types...

> The so-called Russian Firehose of Propaganda model, described in a 2016 Rand report, is about creating a fog of misinformation; it focuses on volume, and on creating uncertainty. It doesn't matter if the "large language models" are inconsistent, if they can greatly escalate volume. And it's clear that that is exactly what large language models make possible. They are aiming to create a world in which we are unable to know what we can trust; with these new tools, they might succeed.

I would encourage anyone who wants to look into this more to see the part of the 2016 documentary/film project "Hypernormalisation" about Vladislav Surkov:

// But the fact remains that things are objectively, numerically harder for us

So I never dug into this before but I found this interesting chart from the US government [1]

It does seem like a relatively smaller percentage of young people own homes today vs 40 years ago - but not as shocking as you'd imply:

Percentage of people <35 who own a home:
1982: 41%
2021: 38.5%

Percentage of 35-40 who own a home:
1982: 70%
2021: 62%

So while the trend is down - it still seems like over a third of people under 35 own a home, and over 60% of those 35-40 do.

That sounds very far from impossible.

well, for some values of “very likely”. ;) I base it on extremophiles. Life exists in volcanic vents and freezing waters. So it seems possible that at least microbial life exists somewhere else in the universe. Either way, “is/has there been at least microbial life on Venus, Mars, or Jovian moons” seems like a solvable question in the next 100 years or so. The conditions for intelligent life seem much more narrow.
Gchat is an absurd story of not realizing what was in front of it.
The issue isn’t that you can’t use CCs for that. It’s that no two sample libraries agree on what they should be, or even what they are.

Any biochemists here who want to speculate about potential mechanisms? I can't help thinking about the connection between potassium and insulin -- insulin pushes potassium into cells, to the extent that insulin is the standard treatment for hyperkalemia -- but I can't see how that would result in changes in appetite (which I assume is responsible for the weight loss here).
There are a few such plants still in operation, and others recently decommissioned. It wouldn’t have been hard to make a replica.
I do agree that artists are going to create no matter what. I do suspect we'd have less works if nobody could make a living doing it though. Especially things like film and animation which historically required crazy amounts of money up front. People were willing to fund those efforts because they could expect a likely return on their investment which without copyright protections wouldn't be possible.

We've gone way overboard, but I do think some level of protection for creators is for the best even now when it's easier and less expensive than ever to create.
They should really do this for Keith Jarrett. As bad as Gould's vocalisations are on his recordings, they're absolutely nothing compared to Jarrett's. I literally cannot listen to Jarrett's piano recordings because the noises he makes just infuriate me.

> This "$10K is too expensive" line doesn't fly.

I didn’t say it was too expensive, I said it was a niche product - resources are tight at Apple, and it looks like we’re heading into a recession so they are concentrating on the products that sell in the millions rather than others
I suspect another part is just that people only have so much time to read and consider such stories and all they really need to do is make it seem like the situation is more complicated than it seems (which sometimes is actually the case). I tried a quick search for any studies on what people actually think about these company statements but couldn't find anything; another possibility is that people do easily recognize them as BS but that so few people ever see any particular news article that it doesn't really make any difference.

I think printing BS company (and politician, etc.) statements as is, often at the end of an article, is a major issue affecting the reputation of journalism. I don't know the full history but it is related to defamation issues that need to be taken into consideration in some way. I think the situation is something like: printing the company's response makes it much harder for the reporter/publication to be sued for defamation and so the easiest thing to do is to just attach the response as-is without further consideration. They could (and IMO should, and occasionally do) ask questions like "how does this statement relate to the question we asked you" but companies mostly will just ignore such questions (they can print that and I think usually do if they actually ask the question). There can potentially be unexpected complications that arise if they press the company that make the story more difficult to write and/or defend legally. I don't know how much of it is legal considerations if there is a lawsuit vs a kind of unwritten agreement not to push to hard to avoid lawsuits. It partly relates to these quick stories that publications don't want to put much effort into, but even long expensive articles don't seem to have a good record IMO. They do seem to just hope that people will recognize it as BS but even when that is the case printing BS affects their reputation as well.

The Forbes article that voidmain0001 mentioned linked to this routers article:

LoRa seems like a super power for hobbyists. I naively tried to use WiFi to network some MCUs around my place (in different buildings, some close to the mesh but a couple fairly far) and it went terribly. I wound up writing a lot of code to keep the connections alive, but after some data logging I discovered the two furthest boards were offline around 60% of the time. That’s in range to seem pretty broken to me.

After a bit of research I discovered LoRa and I’m in the process of swapping out the WiFi network. While the bandwidth isn’t great, I really don’t need it. So far I’ve found a couple test boards can communicate virtually uninterrupted over the same distance that the WiFi boards typically fail. They also consume way less energy doing so! The code footprint is smaller, the boards will survive on battery power much longer, and expanding the network will be way less hassle.

If you need high bandwidth then I guess it’s not a viable solution, but if you don’t it seems incredible to me. I’m still in mild disbelief that something so cool and useful is so cheap and easy to use.

I believe social media apps are much like markets, in that the structure of the app determines the incentives and the interactions that happen there. I think most would agree that the 140 character limit had a profound impact on Twitter, for better and for worse. This is why HN remains stripped down, without Reddit features like message alerts and visible karma for posts, and why the lists were stashed away; these features don't work towards curious conversation. The things you're citing about group chats are structural, as well.

We aren't doomed to terrible social media. But tech companies, with their particular incentives to drive engagement writ large rather than healthy engagement, may be structurally unable to deliver a good social media app.

It's relevant to the conversation in that 1) having a home is a basic necessary building block on the path to some sort of stability and management of mental illness and 2) being homeless is bad for mental health.

Politicians seem to be going "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" shrug and leaping to "lets institutionalize everyone" before they've done any basic things that would improve the mental health and wellbeing of people. It's very depressing to see.

Maybe they replaced the music? That's what they did in order to be able to release the series Daria on DVD. Included in the package was an apology letter explaining why they had to replace all the music.

They might have also secured some of the rights and just dropped the episodes containing songs where they couldn't. That's what Disney did when they put The Muppet Show on Disney+. A few episodes are missing because even with Disney's money they couldn't get the rights to all the songs.

That is… really sad dude. None of those things are relevant. No. You are not a woman if you like cleaning. People do not need to engage in traditional gender roles to maintain their normative gender.

Company brand-only parking is typically a thing in the American automotive plants as well, and is also negotiated as part of the union package.

I wonder - if copyright expiration had been enshrined in something harder to extend like a US Constitution amendment, would we be better off? Or would the powerful media/entertainment forces try to convince the electorate that early expirations were problematic? Would we have a flourishing public domain or would HUAC have flipped on its head - looking instead for the enemies of the entertainment industry? Commies who don't want Mickey Mouse to make money.
“Healthy social media” is a hilarious contradiction in terms. The entire internet became wholly unhealthy once people stopped fragmenting into little silos like chatrooms and interest-specific forums.

“Social media” is just a concept for aspiring ad companies to figure out how to drive engagement.

Everyone that attempts it eventually figures out the same thing: To drive traffic you’ll need culture wars, porn, shock images, and hate speech. People love interacting with all of that and there is no un-ringing that bell.
I miss programmers from the list. For some reason we tend to think we'll be among the last ones to be automated away, while programming is probably the best documented job on the internet, the job with the largest training set. We also see that the machine is coming for us, we just keep telling that nonsense story that it only does the boring/low level stuff and imply that it will be like this for a long-long time which in my interpretation would be several decades at least. (Otherwise I don't get the dismissive tone/remarks.)

OTOH recognizing songs can still make you look cool. Like being good at chess, poker or being able to lift heavy weights are still cool even though machines are better than people (or just most people, in case of poker). The only downside is that now you can be caught being wrong ;)
This has definitely been on my mind. A Master’s might help you stand out a little more when everyone is fighting for roles in the downturn.
To put US copyright duration [1] in perspective:
