I have the same thought, full of jealousy, because I used to waste my time in exactly the same kind of way, and I don't do it so much anymore.

I should probably set aside more of my time to waste on something pleasurable and useless.
ah, so double the amount of people who used Windows Phone!
ASP has both classical negation and negation-as-failure, but that is not quite why I'd say it is "more declarative". Prolog is capable of performing "imperative" tasks (by this I really mean side effects), while ASP solvers exclusively find stable models (answer sets) that may (or may not) exist for a given logic program. In ASP you can only declare a model with your input, and the output is either one or more stable model(s), or the knowledge that the model was unsatisfiable.

You are right about it being more than just a "modeling language to solve combinatorial problems", I agree that description sells it a bit short. As you pointed out, it is well suited for problems involving non-monotonic reasoning and uncertainty. You can encode reasoning that is more reality-hardened, with logical rules to deal with imperfect information.

In my experience chatGPT is more useful than StackOverflow in 9 out of 10 cases because it can generate custom tailor-made code for your exact use case. Sure, it might not be "correct" in the ultra-pedantic StackOverflow definition of "100% generalizably correct", but usually it's 90+% correct for your use-case and only needs slight alteration to be 100% correct for your use-case.

Such generated code is not a "threat" or "misinformation" or whatever author's point is. This is going to be a productivity multiplier for programmers so that programmers can do more faster than ever before!
How would you propose AI be regulated? I think any regulations would have to accurately encode our moral systems to accomplish safety and security without creating worse side effects, and since the law already does a pretty mediocre job of accurately encoding our moral systems, I'm skeptical that regulatory intervention can be fruitful.

I fear that regulations' most likely outcome is increasing the chance of powerful AI being built as an amoral slave to capital rather than a societal good: it will be expensive to comply with regs, so it will kill mom+pop AI shops and only the megacorps will be allowed to play.
Let me know when I can reliably specify my security requirements in plain English to the embedded ChatGPT-like and have it generate and install a secure configuration.

The Internet has been public for over 30 years now, and security is a bigger PITA now then it was even back in the early days. I'd rather have teeth pulled with a fork than configure firewalls and make sure I didn't screw something up. I built the IP network for a Fortune 10 company, so I'm not clueless. It still sucks.

Clearly it's easier to conceive in your 20's for both men and women, but menopause (which tends to happen around age 50) is not necessarily the end of the story for women. Women can often become pregnant after menopause with their own pre-menopausal frozen eggs. If not, they can more often use a surrogate to bring their frozen egg to term. This can cost up to $40k for the procedures and storage, which is expensive but getting cheaper over time. I'd be surprised if girls being born now are ever nearly as anxious about menopause as today's quinquagenarians.
Meditate. www.artofliving.org- their basic part 1 course is a great place to start, or the Sahaj samadhi meditation course.

Let go of the desires- they are at the root of the feeling of despondency. It’s not like fulfilling one’s desires is a path to happiness. Enough successful people are miserable for us to know that that is not the answer to the problem.

Your life is bigger than success and failure.

Stop thinking about yourself- what about me, etc. That’s the formula for depression. Start thinking of how you can make the world a better place. That will give you a renewed vision for your life.

And whatever goals you do set, action the small stuff first. Take a small goal, like, I will wake up by x time tomorrow. And just focus on that one goal. One thing at a time. Baby steps. Don’t overwhelm yourself with big goals and big plans, and then curse yourself for not living upto them. It’s a recipe for frustration. Small goals, and go for consistent accomplishment of said goal for a sustained period of time, like say, 7 days. And then increase gradually. Just do this much for now.

Finally- if you google this, there will be countless examples of successful people who were late bloomers. Some even in their 60/70s! Sometimes, things happen which are outside of our control and we can’t really blame ourselves for the way things turned out. So, don’t be hard on yourself. Be kind to yourself and, let yourself off the hook.
Whether we succeed or fail, one day we are all going to be dead and gone. It doesn’t matter anyway. But first, to get outside of this pattern of self blame and frustration, take up small achievable goals, and be consistent in them for short periods of time. That will gain you some self confidence, and if you start meditating, a fresh bunch of ideas will simply flow into your life. All will be well. Trust and have faith that your problems are getting solved, and there is a power with you that is taking you through all the problems. You are not alone. You are never given something that you cannot handle.
Have faith. Lots of love.

I think "a technology" can be extended to "each wave of technological development". "A technology" does not begin at some point and extend into the future infinitely in the form it was originally defined.

Each new wave runs into the overestimation/underestimation problem.
Somehow I get the idea their customers just might enjoy the retro look.
Um, yeah, you sort of rephrased my question into a statement.
No, that absolutely is the point of `make`. You quoted the "overview of make" page[0] which does say "The make utility automatically determines which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issues commands to recompile them."

However, that same page, about 5 lines down, expands to say:

> Indeed, 'make' is not limited to programs. You can use it to describe any task where some files must be updated automatically from others whenever the others change.

Which is exactly what the original poster is claiming.

Why do we need a law telling private holders of equity how they can or can't distribute that equity as incentives?

If shareholders think the C-suite and/or board are overcompensated, they can vote for a different decision. And if they don't have the majority to get their way they can sell, buying into a company that better reflects their priorities.

I'm not sure I see the case for further regulation of what are, essentially, private decisions and transactions.
So what does a libertarian society do with people who do the following in public: defecate, shoot up, litter, block sidewalks with tents, harass passerbies? Do you arrest them for breaking the law? Allow them to continue doing so? Or would there be no such laws because it’s not harming anyone under a libertarian view?

How does a libertarian deal with the chronically homeless?
> When off her medications

Sure. The problem is that most (probably all) of these drugs give severe withdrawal symptoms when abruptly discontinued by a patient. You'd have to spend a lot of time to slowly wean her off all(!) drugs to know if they're helping or harming. Nobody does that.
I wonder if a large part of what makes social media unhealthy is exposing human nature to mass communication.

I hate Facebook and Twitter as much as the next person, but maybe humans haven't evolved to be able to instantly reach an audience of thousands or millions without any personal or social risk. People have been dangerous and inhuman for many years in the past on a grand scale, but now every human can exist on a grand scale, and maybe the results of that alone are often unsavory.

Speaking of which, what's the status of TrueCrypt btw? Is it still discouraged? I've been using it for years.

And if I wanted to make the effort to move to VeraCrypt, are they compatible? Can VeraCrypt open TrueCrypt files? What about vice-versa?

EDIT: to expand a bit, encryption software is something I'm especially weary of changing. In the ideal world I'd just use forever a version which I know is safe. As far as I'm aware, no audit ever found significant issues with TrueCrypt. Is this still the case?
>Should governments ban all activities which surpass a certain risk threshold?

The purpose of regulating personal activities is to mitigate negative externalities to society, not to eliminate personal risk. Thus, whether and how something should be regulated is a function of both how probable it is to cause said externalities, and the overall absolute impact of them.

The negative externalities of skiing or mountain climbing are that others in society have to pay for healthcare costs associated with injuries sustained from these inherently risky activities. However, on an absolute level, skiing/climbing injuries are rare enough that society has decided to eat this minimal cost.

Smoking, on the other extreme, is much more common and has externalities that extend beyond healthcare costs to the smoker [*], e.g. secondhand smoke and litter from cigarette butts. Thus, on an absolute level, its externalities have been deemed unacceptably large by society. But rather than banning smoking outright, there are other ways to mitigate these externalities (bill smokers directly for smoking-related healthcare costs, restrict smoking to areas that minimize secondhand smoke exposure, have draconian fines for littering, etc.)

This argument can also apply to alcohol (e.g. draconian penalties for drunk driving) or unhealthy food (bill healthcare costs associated with obesity directly to the patient) [*].

[*] Yes, I am aware of studies that claim smoking/obesity causes a net decrease of healthcare costs, since most expensive healthcare occurs in old age, which smokers/obese people are less likely to reach. If indeed these studies are true, that should be factored into the actuarial calculus.

The 18th child of Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Christian Bach—AKA "The English Bach", "The London Bach," or "John Bach"—spent five months tutoring the 8-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in musical composition and very likey was, after Mozart's father, the second biggest personal musical influence on the child.

As a counterpoint to that - the chances that a newly developed feature will work perfectly anywhere other than your own development environment are often pretty low. And when it almost inevitably fails, not having any error-handling logic will use up huge amounts of your time trying to track down the reason for failure.
For a first cut of any new feature, I'd want at a minimum to have some form of detailed error-reporting, even if it's presenting a stack trace to the user. Ideally it's handled by whatever framework you're working in, which typically means all you need to do is not swallow exceptions, but if you do have to write your own error-handling code, don't throw away any details about the error (sometimes the best you can do is just log the full exception details, and personally I'll always ensure that the names/URIs of any resources involved are included in those details).

Applying common-carrier rules to a particular, already highly-regulated, key industry to commerce is not “fundamentally at odds with the framework of US jurisprudence”.

No, it wouldn’t. Just like it didn’t when we did it to telecoms.
Yes, you definitely can, however running your own instance is not an out of the box process currently.
Except the confirm password field is in the same form so hasn't been submitted.

This very well could be the expected behavior to allow for the potential states of form entry and submission and the immense number of issues related to networking.

Whether this could be changed by a preference perhaps is definitely a possible avenue here, but if they want to have it this way so people are less likely to lose their password during sign-up then so be it.

Pick another password manager if you don't like it, but for the common user it's probably the best experience out of the box (even if I don't want it that way either)

That assumes there have been other(s) technological civilizations in our galaxy. Which isn't necessarily the case. We may well (or not) be one of the first space faring (for some values of that term) civilizations in our (part of) the galaxy.

Yea, I am with you on this one.

I started out reading the article wondering 'OMG, what is it that this mom could've possible done that she's banned?' and then when it says "lawyer at adversarial law firm" I immediately switched to "oh yea, makes total sense".

None of the counterarguments here stand up to scrutiny.

"Isn't involved in litigation" and "not a Security threat" - she is totally a security threat: today she's a mother of a girl scout and is not working on the case, and tomorrow she's a loyal employee helping out with the case.

"Part of girl scouts trip" - Does she have a firewall in her brain between personal and professional?

'Conlon said she thought a recent judge’s order in one of those cases made it clear that ticketholders like her “may not be denied entry to any shows.” - You know what the best thing about America is? Our endless appeal system.

This entire article is a non-story (someone denied access to a business), and yet, it's somehow making the rounds. The paranoid cynic part of my brain is interpreting this entire situation as "A law firm that sent in an employee for some snooping, and then got caught, and now is making some noise in the papers." The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
Sorry I don't follow. Can you elaborate a little please?

> It is humane for everyone if the mentally ill are forced to get treatment or confined if they refuse it.

Are there any other situations when we can forcibly act to protect you from yourself, or is mental illness the only situation where this is permitted? Should society be allowed to forcibly restrict you from engaging in other forms of self-damaging behaviour? Smoking, drinking, gambling, being stoned all day erry day, riding an ATV without a helmet..? Not getting vaccinated against a deadly, contagious respiratory disease, because you think the vaccine[1] is a 5g chip created by Bill Gates as part of a secret mass eugenics program? Not allowing a doctor to operate on you or your child, because you believe that a blood transfusion is a sin?

There's a wide, wide spectrum of a gray zone here, and that's why drawing a hard line through it is not the clear-cut easy moral answer that you think it is. It's precisely why society tends to draw soft lines through it, leans towards encouraging and discouraging over compelling, and why it won't intervene in response to most forms of self-harm.

[1] That's a pretty big one. If we're going to forcibly medicate people for their own good, universal vaccination seems to be a much more obvious place to start. Debilitating side effects of vaccines are negligible compared to those of brain pills, and the overall ROI, both personally, and to the people around you is fantastic.
That’s clearly not true, because this issue still exists in societies where women have full autonomy and legal protections. It’s created by biological realities, not social conventions. It’s not simply a trendy sentiment that can be bucked (which is the claim made in the comment I originally replied to).

I’d like to see federated platforms do to Social media companies, what streaming has done to the entertainment industry.

Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter are nothing more than ML driven data collectors at this point.

Obviously content is king, the average user wants their Instagram stars or whatever, they aren’t concerned with politics.

But I’m optimistic to a major schism in ALL these mediocre platforms.

I want to see more corporations hosting their own, Chik Fil A, BestBuy, anything to break the tide.
Its not a thought experiment.
The 30 years war was fought over the printing press at its core. Newspapers are nothing compared to the bible in terms of misinformation risk, harmful cults regularly spring up to this day by astray pastors making their own version of the Bible to proclaim themselves as some prophet.
So naturally, the Catholic church at the time was extremely concerned with people being able to 'translate' the bible (any translations will inevitably deviate from the official latin codex to an extent), that's how the protestant catholic conflict began, as the war to control the source of truth.
And 1/3rd of Germany's population died because of this war.

That being said, its absolutely worth it in the end. The Muslim world chose to not have this conflict, and banned the printing press (So the Quran can't be printed or translated). What ended up happening there is 500 years of utter stagnation with no new technological or social leaps.

Generative AI will definitely cause conflicts that indirectly kill millions. But that's just the price of adaptation, I was shocked at how people didn't seem to care about the COVID deaths after a while, I guess that's a good thing in the end.
In my experience blogspam has been primarily used for commercial purposes (selling stuff and/or ads). Political disinfo at a new scale could pose very interesting new challenges.

In a similar way we saw a paradigm shift when Cambridge Analytica employed political targeting at a new scale. Before that anyone could hire a savvy social media manager to target specific groups, but automating this process proved to be a different beast.

How soon our society will adapt to this, or how we will even react is yet to be seen. I don’t have high hopes for this to be a fast and painless process.
