The situation in Haiti appears to be very troubled. Clearly the government is barely functioning.

However, the journalistic coverage is very minimal. This is partly because of the repeated violent attacks on journalists, and partly because the American public doesn't really care what happens in Haiti.

So what we have are reports that are ideology-based rather than fact-based. Either the whole situation is an excuse for "colonial" forces to re-invade Haiti, or the lack of an elected government is the cause of all problems.

It's simple - capitalism and the desire for major studios to make more money from their customer base than they had been previously. Studios and publishers saw potential for recurring revenue (see major MMORPGs from the 90s and 2000s, for example World of Warcraft or Star Wars Galaxies) and said "yeah we'd like some of that too, it would make our investors happy".

Also doesn't help that because nobody has the ability to say "no" anymore, games end up being half-done when released (because time to polish the game is lost revenue), and a whole bunch of stuff that was supposed to be included (could be characters, maps, levels, teams, etc) just gets put behind a paywall...or not included at all. Gamers are somehow OK with this enough to continually support the practice.
> anyone can rifle a barrel in their closet

That's a bit of a stretch. I think you and a lot of other people underestimate how expensive it is. The people actually doing this are doing it just because they can. Still easier, faster and cheaper to buy a ghost gun in a state with more lax rules.
No we wouldn't so that's a bad idea.

I get where you and others are trying to go with this, but it's just not a good argument and it doesn't translate at all into discussions about public policy. A more appropriate argument would be showing that it wouldn't be worth the cost or potential upside versus awful analogies.

For example, you can talk in abstract about infrastructure resilience for example with decentralized networks or enabling internet services via fast connections. You can't make such an argument about hula hoops. Unfortunately this "I hate everything and everything sucks" mentality is becoming more prevalent.

What you are saying is mostly irrelevant. Access to ammunition is usually easier and cheaper, even illegally. Modern designs for 3D printed guns can be quite powerful and a lot more capable than what you seem to be assuming. Quite a few designs contain a metal barrel which isn't regulated.

There aren't that many "somewhat competent" DIYers with appropriate milling equipment and skills. It's a lot easier to 3D print a design than use manual tools to precisely manufacture something. Making it easier to kill people usually means more people get killed. A basic observation in criminology.

Obviously 3D printed guns are getting produced and are being used in crimes. The article also says that Canada has a bigger problem with guns smuggled from the US.

> she fails to talk about the role of introspection

Someone else in this thread mentioned this, yeah maybe that's what's missing? Kids, being obsessed about having the right labels, are discouraged from attempts to reality-check and risk going up against the narrative of their peers?

It doesn't seem normal to me. Maybe its just a different version of what was always there. I don't remember my youth and peers being this way. We had concerns, strong opinions, and discussions. But not the very public hate and vitriol. These aren't hills to die on at that age.
Example context: a company saying they offer "equity" in a job description, and then later specifying they mean stock options, not stock.
I think it would probably just be ignored.

What might have teeth though, is a modification to copyright law that does two things:

1. Make it mandatory for all AI projects to release their training dataset to interested parties, who may be copyright holders.

2. Change the default rights so that any company that wishes to use copyrighted content to train their AI model has to get an explicit opt-in for this purpose from the copyright holder.

With steep fines issued as penalties.

That should sort it out. Might also decimate the nascent large-scale AI model industry, but maybe that's what it needs before it goes truly out of control?

Windows is no longer Microsoft's main focus, and hasn't been for quite a few years. It's about 12% of their revenue. The main income is now Azure, Office 365, and an assortment of other smaller (comparatively) things like Surface, X-box, GitHub, etc. If Windows revenue would drop off to 0 tomorrow it would be a blow, but Microsoft would survive just fine.

People keep thinking about Microsoft in 2001 terms but it's not the same company. This what Satya Nadella brought to Microsoft (don't think it would have played out like this under Balmer).

Technically the only reason I'm still looking for languages that transpiles to C is an sdcc compiler that supports tons of microcontrolers that can't be programmed with anything else than C or assembly. So I guess, if you were to make an effort to make another target that is not C then LLVM would be probably a better spent time.
Ah, I was worried that might be the case. Guess for now I'll save my 15 bucks on the emulator!

I also wondered if there might be a way to extract a cart from the binary distribution, but that sounds like a side project for another time.

Edit: another thought is that since the RG351 platform runs on Linux, I might be able to use the Linux binary he provides to run it on the console. Not sure how that would work out with the 351's built in gamepad, but I bet it could be worked out. Might have to play around with that idea.

Me too. At best, they would need the previous guys only in one condition: very short time constraint (have to figure it out "today"). Otherwise, it's not hard to figure out at all, even codes from a complete idiot. If he can code the program that worked, the code is very likely be figured out by experienced people very soon.

"Making friends at work or coworking with friends can help support relationships and fun." And one day, it just isn't fun. Who do turn to for support? Will your friends be there when you quit your job? And to the contrary: If your friend, family and co-workers are all the same, how will you cope at work when going through a divorce?

I'd say there's a meta-balance to be had here. If you over-integrate your "buckets", you're removing redundancy from your life.

No, the alternative is having 100s of things that are basically right, with a few that are misleading. I'll take that any day over all cute names, because I only have to remember the exceptions. Not theoretical, I've been in that situation. Also, purpose drift is technical debt. Using meaningless names is just a way of hiding that debt. A service that doesn't match it's name has evolved into a bad place and needs to be refactored. You want to be able to see that.

>> How/why do people end up learning Lisp, what is the usual route to entry?

I started learning CL starting around July/Aug 2022. How I got here is close to 2 years ago I read a blog post (I think) that said learning a niche language can help land a high paying part-time job, or, if applying to a position where said niche language is used you don't have to jump through all the Leet code, typical interview circus. Just knowing the language and having an interest was a huge factor in getting hired. It seemed fairly plausible to me.

Initially I started learning Clojure but kept reading stuff about how awesome CL was/is. The JVM kind of turned me off and I like compiled, stand alone applications which can be had in CL.

So here I am really enjoying learning CL. I am in a job/organization that does not use CL and probably never will. The benefits are awesome so I have no plans on leaving anytime soon. Maybe one day I may try to land a part time job using CL but I'm no where ready for that (both in my lack of CL knowledge and lack of time to commit to a part time job).
> is there a world in which we look back 10 years from now and think that we were overvaluing the impact of AI?

As a natural language model , we are overvaluing it. Yes , it is a better Google index, with fuzzy querying , but it s limited and bland as time goes by, Kinda like my VR goggles. After an initial wave of enthusiasm, its output will become so commonplace and bland that it will lose its value.

As a programming tool, it's probably just the beginning of a new era in which we talk to the computer and it spits out executable files.

I have a TLD that is 4 letters and non-standard to the usual .com, .net, .org, or even .io addresses you see everyday. I regret it so much, because I still found places where 4-letter TLDs are flagged as invalid. Additionlly, sub-domains are often "invalid", and I use addresses like `site@subdomain.domain.weird` to keep track of who sells my information. I had to buy a .com domain to have a backup for those sites that invalidate my normal addresses. Nowdays I have started to use Fastmail's "masked email" feature for a lot of sites (so I just get `random.words1234@fastmail.com`), but that requires more config than just my usual scheme.

That just reminds me of a conversation last night. A friend's parents live in South East Asia and have a live in helper (common). He was describing the helper's bedroom as small and I was like "you just described a common apartment size in Japan".

Meaning, it was small because he's used to American sizes where the average residence size is 210 square meters where as in Japan is 93sqm add it's trivial to find apartments of 15sqm. No one blinks an eye because it's normal where as American often sees that and thinks it's some kind of exploitation.

Some of you might have lived in a space that small for a few years in dorm room in collage. You likely survived and weren't traumatized for being in that space.

This isn't to detract from the idea that many people in NYC might not be making enough money. Only that it's common to think people need more than they do ... And also that not being able to build smaller places means people end up having to pay for more than they could get by with.
Its a bad thing when you do things like block bike lanes people rely on to travel safely. Accessibility is important for a city.
I think there's a pretty clear line in many places in today's western world about the difference between "directly causing death" and "causes fractional death."

So comparing "directly dying from construction" to "commuting in a car" is a big reach.

Diet, stress, physically-taxing-if-not-directly-fatal jobs, cancer-linked chemicals, pollution, etc. Tradeoffs made at both the societal and individual level every day.

Even in cars, consider the difference in attention "death from direct failure of the vehicle or manufacturer" gets compared to the more-random "accident that could've happened to anyone" increased-death-probability cases.

And that ties us neatly back to construction! We have many more things in place for construction safety - from regulations to equipment to practices - but it doesn't prevent there from being any loss of life, still. We just don't want to go backward.
> Domestic or hobbyist 3d printing is not going to produce a particularly strong gun, it's most likely going to only work once or twice before it blows itself apart. There is a good chance the person using it will significantly hurt themselves.

While this is true for 100% printed guns, most fosscad folks will have core components that are metal. Barrels, firing pins, etc will be metal in most designs.

Some folks claim their guns can shoot thousands of rounds with no issue.

> They will have very poor accuracy, it won't be possible to rifle the barrel on a 3d printed gun in a way that will spin the projectile.

Folks literally etch their gun barrels with the same specs as commercially available barrels. Here is one such example from the /r/fosscad community: https://www.reddit.com/gallery/106u7au

While the fear is mostly media driven, the stuff folks are making now is a little alarming. Claymores, grenade launchers, etc. If you are interested in learning about this community, check out /r/fosscad on reddit.
The advantage of multiperson abodes is that some amount of that min 300 sqft can be shared since a single body can occupy a maximum of lets say 2x6=12sqft at any point in time. If one assumes 100 sqft of storage for coverings, foodstock and books and another 100 for wet waste and cleaning activities, then that leaves 300-100-100-12=88sqft of sharable space. If two people can share the wet activity space then they effectively get 50sqft back and another 6 if they use differential shifts for laying down or have a relationship where one may lay on top of the other.

On the whole I think it is important to understand the height dimension of space required for a person. This also would address the amount of various gasses needed in circulation since not all 300sqft can be occupied with books--the human would not be able to breathe in order to continue reading.
> First off, historic Western films are no less vulnerable, because businesses do not want to deal with copyright issues, and citizens are taught from the childhood that sharing is stealing.

This is completely inaccurate. There is big money in storing original film prints. There are a ton of commercial warehouses (mostly in/near Los Angeles) that specializes in such things. The copyright remains with the studio, but the actual print is stored in a warehouse.

The bigger issue is the opposite -- because of real estate prices, the warehouses keep moving, and sometimes they sell off part of their collection to another warehouse. The owners of the films have no idea where their originals are. When I worked at Netflix we would often have the problem where a studio sold us the rights to stream something, so we would ask for the original print to digitize it, and it would take months to track down which warehouse actually had the original print. But once found it was easy to digitize because it was usually in really good shape.

Eastern Europe doesn't have the film economy to support such warehouses.
