>Yes, you do owe them some basic respect and dignity if you want them to cooperate with you.

You only owe people the respect they give you, I guess is the take away from that. Members of the Gnome project have a long history of being disrespectful to their users and to other open source projects.

Basic respect and dignity, for sure, but that doesn't extend to not criticizing Gnome. Respect can mean treating someone like a person or treating someone like an authority, or a competent subject matter expert.

Honestly? I think we're past the point where Gnome is going to really cooperate, and on to the point where if Gnome gets sufficient market share they're going to make their own custom extensions and extinguish the competition, or at least make a bunch of extra work for everyone. I don't want a future where Gnome is dominant, I believe that they'll abuse that position. Once again that's subjective, but I don't think it's unreasonable from looking at their past behavior.

>If it wasn't that, they'd find something else to be mad and blame GNOME about. Like, my friend, you're doing it now.

It can be hard to dig yourself out of a reputational hole, but I do think it's largely a Gnome attitude problem. Or maybe just a Gnome communication problem. It's sad, but it's still Gnome's problem to fix.

>Again, this is required by the core Wayland protocol.

I think better developers than me explained why, while technically correct, that stance is harmful to the open source community as a whole. (they do get some points for libdecor) I can't do a better job of explaining it than those developers, and if you don't see the problem there than I don't think we're going to be able to reach any sort of common ground.

To be clear, there are a number of points where I am hopeful about Gnome. Libdecor was an acceptable compromise, and honestly I hope that libadwaita makes GTK more useful for non-gnome apps, but I'm reserving judgement until I see how it plays out.

I'm not a zealot, I can see a handful of things that has caused my respect for the Gnome project to go up. Where as you seem to need to find a reason to dismiss every single Gnome criticism there is, I don't think you've admitted to any Gnome flaws throughout all of this. Makes it every hard to find any common ground. I think we both want open source to succeed, and we should both be on the same side, but that's hard under the circumstances.
Taxing businesses on gross revenues (what “no deductions” means) is a huge bias in favor of vertical integration and large conglomerates.

If I’m a small company and participate in a chain of 8 companies providing a good or service, there is a large multiple of tax paid on that good as compared to a competitor who manages to do all 8 things in a single company. (This is why VAT taxation works better and is more common than a gross receipts tax.)

It isn't logical. Some people are mentally ill in such a way that they are compelled to single mindedly seek power. Once they actually attain what they originally thought they wanted, nothing changes, because it's the process of gaining power that drives them. I think these people are more widespread than we would like to think, but in normal context they are merely considered "successful."

It really depends where. England ended serfdom in the 14th century, and in much of western europe (Italy notably, but also Scotland and Spain) serfdom never really developed. In central and eastern europe, peasants were ensurfed into the 19th century, though in most places this was an imposition in the 16th - 17th century.
It's also important to remember that peasants weren't a homogenous group. There were rich peasants and poor peasants, often in the same village, and they lived different lives.

As someone who does Indian direct and indirect taxes as my day job, I can comfortably say it is "fucked up".

The problem starts small. They introduced a new indirect tax act in 2017 (gst) and it was fine for a couple of weeks but suddenly every business user was supposed to get registered at a centralized portal. Cool but there was penalty for delay and penalty for filing returns late. Cool. So they got an amendment. Fine. Next day a notification. Next day a circular.

In the last 5-6 years, they have changed the act in like 1200-1300 times by way of various amendments, rules, notifications, orders, not to talk about court judgments.

You are NEVER sure if you know something to be a fact when in fact 2 years ago a particular notification amended the act to be read in a certain way. Then another amended it further. Then again.

All the while the govt accepts the fact that all taxpayers are not paying govt their dues so they treat them as such, Financial criminals so there is jail provisions even.

Direct tax is no different. You annual " income tax return" is to be prepared in 1 our of 7 forms. Cool. Then you have to see various schedules and time limits and audits and compliances and other stuff. A lot of stuff DOES MAKE SENSE but you have to have practiced for 5-12 years before saying that. Then it kinda makes sense on an overall level. For everyone else, go fuck yourself.

> Computer architecture and computer security researchers have worked with closed licensing ISAs for years and it hasn't stopped them finding issues.

I think this is kind of backwards. You want people to have access and find issues, so that you can correct them. Opening the ISA solves one half of this problem: access and finding.

This reminds me of an old joke: "Yes, it works in practice, but does it work in theory?"

It seems wise to occasionally remind ourselves that if the model widely diverges from reality, then it is the model that is deficient.

> Otherwise you'd have to explicitly code a loop where you would much rather use recursion.

I find it much easier to reason about loops than to reason about recursion. Likewise I find it much easier to write loops than to write recursive functions.

It probably comes down to experience mainly. I spent some time with functional languages, but I have spent far far far more time writing imperative procedural code.

This neglects that many scams were perpetuated on these tight communities because it was easy to exploit that existing trust system. This is especially true when the scam was being done by the leadership because then the community had to follow based on authority. See every cult that ever existed.

In fact I think that these communities are in fact the REASON more scams seem to exist today because with the internet all types of communities are possible because you can connect with like-minded people from all over to form one, rather than having to rely on those in your specific geographic area. These communities form trust relationships which are then exploited by scammers (either internally or externally). Crypto bros are a great example.
Inflation isn't the problem, it's investors. As others have noted, inflation is a wash for most cases. Investors expect regular returns and they sit on your board and they are NEVER satisfied.

I really don't like pandering to the religious beliefs of a minority, especially when said group was given tons of precautions from the professor. The student in question still made the choice to show up to class, made the choice to complain, and made the choice to cry in front of other students saying that she felt deeply offended. The girl was given every chance to avoid this altogether, but instead chose to put herself in the situation so she could be the victim.

I feel absolutely terrible for the professor, they did absolutely nothing wrong. I took an religious art history class in college too...and yeah, we had Muslims in the class. One of them just didn't show up that day, and others just continued on as if it was just another piece of art. No complains, no grandstanding. Just mature people with the mindset of "I'm not in any position to complain, I'm not special, the professor isn't targeting me, nor anyone else. My religious beliefs are not and will never be part of the law system here and I don't expect them to be." That's it.

We are a secular country. We have separation of religious institutions from our government (in theory). If someone of any faith wants to whine about being offended because of a picture they saw at school, they need to grow the fuck up.
> Hard but you are not creating the tool, just configuring it. It's more of a dev ops /sys admin thing and, though I agree it's very hard, it's a very left field comparison IMO.

They specifically are talking about creating the tool.
> The function of management exists for a reason, but the question is who should do it. Many knowledge workers are self-managing and the "oversight" provided by the managerial class is superfluous at best.

I know it feels like you can be self-managing, but you can't (outside of a tiny startup). For a long time I felt that way. After all, I know the product code inside out better than anyone. I can see what needs to be done both short and long term. I can lay out the road to get there and execute on it very well. What else is needed?

What's needed is alignment with all the other parts of the company. Marketing, sales, infosec, project management, executive wishes, etc. Who is doing that? Oh, I can do it. And I can. But by the time I'm done, I'm left with like 30 minutes a week to write code. So I can't actually do both full-time.
It's true that ChatGPT is just a program, a machine, and that we are "starting to anthropomorphize" it. But that's what it wants! (Or, what its makers want.)

> Do you expect google to tell that when it outputs the results?

Well, Google doesn't tell me anything, it quotes things it has found on the web.

The huge, huge difference between Google and ChatGPT is that Google never, ever says "I", while ChatGPT does. The other difference is that Google produces references that are actual links to actual web pages it has not authored, while ChatGPT speaks in its own name and when asked to produce references, simply makes them up (lots of examples about this).

If you can't see how ChatGPT is totally different from a regular search engine in its positioning and proposed usage, you're not alone, and I'm afraid I can't help you. But -- IMHO -- you are very very wrong.
> Also, non phonetic writing systems will push you towards not hearing while reading. For example, when I read chinese there are plenty of characters (hanzi) whose pronunciation I don't know (was it hai? Pai?), but I remember the meaning just fine.

Makes sense. I also tried an earlier suggestion to (effectively speed) read and that seems to send constant interrupts to the speech center -- which is how I am beginning to imagine how it works -- and it struggles to keep up and very soon becomes silent. atm still prefer my apparently pedestrian reading mode as it has a strong 'pleasure of reading' aspect that as of now I do not get when attempting whole word parsing.

How do you experience the pleasure of reading? For me, the reconstructed voice of the author and in general the (for the lack of a better word) musical aesthetics of the 'text' are significant.

> Add support for multiple threads, concurrency, ..

technically, already have that via lisp's take on decorators/generators. [1]

What lisp doesn't have, per pre-dating just about everything in CS, is way to associate the lisp take on threads/concurrency with underlying os/hardware (without modifying/recompliling language).

what would be nice is an alternate REPL namespace that can be 'reloaded to garbage collect, independent of standard REPL' where things that are split between OS/REPL/card reader operator can be placed. aka device drivers, thread/cpu/gpu specs. aka erlang/elixir extention

> I am not at all racist, my best friend has dark skin, but I also can't help but notice that on social networks there's always that black* group/tag/community never do you see white,red, yellow, only ever black. I do find that quite racist and exclusive.

That is not remotely true, if I log into Reddit I can find subreddits with white, black, Spanish, German, Japanese, Indian, French, Jamaican, etc. topics as well several subcategories such as Valencian etc. I am not sure what or where you are looking.

Can we not just finally have a normal, boring, standard eink laptop?

Again, in a very limited setting, under a limited set of rules. And even in that setting: Have we achieved a 100% completely autonomous car yet, that can drive a vehicle safely, no matter the conditions, without ever requiring any human intervention?

My point isnt't that the systems we can build today aren't impressive. They are, beyond belief sometimes.

But they are not AGIs, nor are they close to, and making systems of limited scope better at their limited tasks, doesn't equate to getting closer to a generally intelligent system.

One thing that would make an AGI an actually general intelligence, is the ability to apply knowledge of one task to an arbitrary number of tasks. For example, in terms of drawing the beautiful volcano-landscapes that my GPU tower running stable diffusion is currently making, even the best self-driving AI is useless. Likewise, as impressive as stable diffusion is, I doubt it could even get my car out of the driveway.

I forgot about this, but the point stands, we still don't use energy that we collect to achieving the outcome he states:

If we generalise that meeting a minimal bar on the Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, then we're still pretty poor on that front.

Thanks for the link, having read this, it's a valid counterpoint against generally increasing GDP as we currently think of it.

However a lot of discussions at present don't hold to limiting growth to Earth.

What this means however is up for grabs, it could take a very long time to figure out how to practically go further than Earth.

It is however probably worth more consideration than modern economics would give it.
Game prototype using AI assisted graphics
Well take arm and x86, plenty of research papers done on these (e.g. the original speculative execution attacks) but they are closed licensing.

Were the ISA specifications also fully closed (i.e. no reading without an NDA, strict restrictions on any published research even if you did get access etc), then yes that would be an impediment, but practically that's not what we see.

And Yes, some people are offended by it, but when you explain both the building and the symbol predate Nazism, they usually calm down.

It's different from playing with legos though, isn't it? What makes social media so intense is the social aspect. You get validated by collecting likes, you can humiliate your opponents, you can bond with your tribe, you can fight the just war for whatever you believe in.

Sure, Facebook and friends will engineer it to make it streamlined, but I'd see it more like modern engineered food than tobacco. It's something (like eating) we do naturally and probably cannot live without (for the majority of people), they're just iterating over what we like best, but it's not artificially induced (like nicotine addiction). People play social games, and now they do it online, and you can play with millions of people instead of being limited to those who are in shouting distance.
To be clear when I wrote my post I had in mind classroom instruction. The first two links are about comments made outside of the classroom, by tenured professors nonetheless. Hard to fire them for almost anything, but it does happen from time to time. The Drexel professor was later placed on administrative leave and then resigned.

The Yale link was about a lecture given by someone not affiliated with the University.

> you’ll be fired and disowned by the college in under 48 hours:

Yes, much easier to do with adjuncts compared to tenured professors.
I was just thinking while reading this that with a country with a small population like the Faroe Islands, it is a bit harder to do regulatory capture. The impact is far greater and the established legacy is one towards simplicity than complexity. Changes are just felt more.

In my case, I think my taxes in Norway are easier to deal with as compared to filing US taxes just because there isn't much incentive to take advantage of the bureaucracy and procedures around it like in the US. It's a little complex in Norway, but I can and have guessed correctly what my tax burden would be outside what was directly reported to Skattetaten. I imagine it is even easier for tiny countries (or semi-autonomous regions) like what the Faroese have.

We can avoid violence by _not responding violently_ to feeling offended. Being offended is not the same as being physically harmed. Those people who respond with violence to the non-violent acts of others should be censured. Their ideologies deserve ridicule and suppression to the extent that they condone such violence.

It's interesting to look at feudal tax rates. It varied between countries but the concept of "thirteenth" seems to be common, based on what I see it used to be between 2% and 10% of "revenue".

The bill in Florida was perfectly reasonable.
Classroom instruction by school personnel or third
parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur
in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age-
appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students according to state standards.

3rd grade classrooms are not places of intellectual freedom. They are places of indoctrination. A third grader does not have academic freedom, there is no countervailing point in the classroom. It is completely different than a university setting. According to the t xt of the bill, I can't think of any good reason for a teacher to want to violate the law unless they want to push their own agenda onto the children. And that should not happen in a public school.

> I mean, what did the author expect?

Presumably for it to reply with its standard "I'm a LLM from OpenAI and don't have access to the internet" instead of "Just use this thing that doesn't exist", followed with "Here's more info on this thing I've totally not made up" and finishes up with "Here's the references that I've just made up to explain the other thing I've just made up". Before finally saying "You got me, I made that stuff up".

I thought it was infamously overworked and underpaid - because so many (many more than there are jobs) are game fans and will put up with it for the thrill of work being games too.

I think GP must mean indie game development, i.e. yes you get 100% of game sales (minus costs and partners' share if applicable of course), which isn't really worth distinguishing from advice for start-ups? That's just a start-up that makes games isn't it?
