I don't think you are living in the real world. Is Microsoft corporate? React is a first class choice in their frameworks.

React is like nearly any other tool, use it well, and it's great. Well optimized React is lightweight to the client and a joy to test and debug. That said, Web Components are even better, but I'm guessing that's science fiction to you.
> There's zero reward in punishing someone for past behaviour

A similar argument regarding Roko's Basilisk is that it is effectively a prisoner's dilemma, where the Basilisk torturing us and us not helping it is the Defect-Defect scenario. It makes no sense for either party to defect.

It really seems like a very contrived version of Pascal's mugging.

"Researchers are trying to determine what’s behind the shift. Among the questions: Is there something biologically different about these early onset tumors? Is something in our diet, like processed meats and sugary drinks, to blame? Could this be linked to the rise in obesity?"

I wonder whether some researcher would even dare investigating whether this is related to increase in anal sex incidence in younger people.
Which is amazing considering that Germany has 2.8x the GDP per capita of Poland. As I said, I do not agree with phasing out nuclear before renewables.

Short of that transforming the electricity sector of Germany from all fossil and some nuclear to 50% renewables in 15 years is nothing short of incredible.

Add the current exponential growth in renewables to that, now when the cost side does not require subsidies anymore, and we have an incredible future ahead of us.

Or as wiki puts it, they choose after Fukushima to not use nuclear as a bridging technology.

> The key policy document outlining the Energiewende was published by the German government in September 2010, some six months before the Fukushima nuclear accident.[1] Legislative support was passed in September 2010. On 6 June 2011, following Fukushima, the government removed the use of nuclear power as a bridging technology as part of their policy.

Art, in terms of creating a beautiful rendition of some part of the real world or even a fantastical but recognizable scene has not been a big part of the mainstream capital-A Art market for over a hundred years. Nobody cares if you can paint really well or whatever. Art schools churn out thousands of people a year who can do that.

Artworks since at least Duchamp have been more about some abstract concept rather than a nice painting.

Now if ChatGPT can churn out convincing BS about why taping a banana to a wall or something is a piece of revolutionary art, then artists will really be in trouble.

Corporations having too much power is different from technology encroaching on previously uniquely human faculties.

Of course both are phenomena that ought to be addressed by society. At which point we see that it's a political problem, and of course politics is broken.

> I'll think differently about that comparison if it is possible for random people to legally train models & create images from Disney's intellectual property on affordable hardware.

... that's a very strange set of criteria. that said, last year one of my designer friends tried Midjourney, one of the pictures was so and so in Star Wars style.

Of course generating pictures is different from using them, let's say in ads.
It is not a Figma alternative. Figma is a tool for designers to design. Microsoft Designer seems to be a tool for non-designers to attempt design, with the help of AI. Very different audiences, and trying out the tool, everything about the UI/UX makes that very clear, Microsoft Designer is more like a wizard for creating a initial design, while Figma is a proper tool.

I learned in my high school English lessons that evidently is kind of a false friend and that I should use 'obviously' rather than something that mean 'according to evidence'. It was Oxford's English though, so the meaning in real life might have changed now.
Not at all, your "local" network is the link-local address space, which legacy IP has no analog of. The link-local space cannot be routed either intentionally or accidentally.

RFC1918 address space IS routable, it just doesn't have a global route. There is nothing to stop devices adjacent to your wan interface (ie other customers) from manually adding a route to your RFC1918 address space via your firewall. Will that traffic be allowed? that depends on the device and its configuration, have you ever tested this scenario? probably not.

NAT is a hack to get around a shortage of address space, nothing more. Once the shortage is gone there's no more need for NAT. That's why although NAT with IPv6 is possible, it's very rarely used because you no longer have any valid reason to use it.
If you are think there are any other reasons to use NAT then you need to brush up on your network knowledge because a lot of smarter people than you or I are saying to avoid NAT and designing systems (eg IPv6) to fix the problems it causes.

US government advice is to avoid the use of NAT because of the extra complexity it introduces, which actually reduces security:

It was pretty obvious I was talking about the misleading headline at the OP. How did you come up that my comment was targeted at you I have no idea…
Yes, but the majority of current activists want purity tests and circular firing squads. I've seen more cypher punks in board rooms of billion dollar companies in the past 5 years than I have on reddit or hn.

The opinion that no number should be illegal gets thrown out the window when you talk about an image. This used to be as common as AOL email addresses 20 years ago.
I wrote a Fall Detector app for Android, ten years ago.

When a fall was detected the sample played: "A fall has been detected"
When the caretaker was alerted: "The caretaker has been alerted"
When the caretaker acknowledged: "The caretaker is on their way"
..

I dunno why its so hard. Talk to the user, re-assure them that the app is doing its job.
I'm not opposed to this idea after all here are also people driving gas instead of normal fuel.

And you're seriously oversimplifying the situation, lacking in depth knowledge on the topic. Following the news, given the often precarious state of journalism, is not enough to have a "contrarian" (actually mainstream) opinion.
Well, technically C and C++ do not have mistery-signed byte types ... because they don't have byte types but char types which may be larger than a single byte.

If someone designed a language this way today they would be called a master troll. At least you can require CHAR_BITS == 8 in practice for everything except weird embedded systems - both POSIX and Windows do just that.

I don't think you are living in the real world.

Most React applications do not end up like that in the real world. They turn into poorly architected over complicated nightmares, particularly on sprawling apps which is the reality in the corporate space. Not everyone is building hyper-focused single function tools which can be crammed in an SPA type framework. And the users suffer for this.

One of the finest turds I've seen recently is my electricity company's meter reading facility which is an over-engineered react interface for a single web form with two fields and a confirmation box. The whole thing pulls 590k down to do that and takes 5 seconds for the initial page load on an M1 MacBook Pro. That's the real end game for most people. The only reason it's like that is because the people who built it don't know how to do it any other way.

And lets be honest about Microsoft: they do everything from a front end or user interface perspective and randomly discontinue bad ideas about 5 years down the line. Like Silverlight, most of WPF, bits of ATL and MFC, an entire mobile phone platform that got rewritten. And their competing framework WinUI 3 doesn't even work properly. Their own O365 web platform is a fine example of where this turns into a buggy mess. I bet react is dead to them within 2 years on one of their schizophrenic switcharoos. The only reason they're into it now is to capture some market from Electron.
I agree with his points about treating it like commercial software (in terms of having a website/screenshots/etc) but paradoxically the more professional an open source site looks, the more I assume there's going to be a catch. When you find a utility which has a site that looks like Richard Stallman's website you breathe easily because it's unlikely there's going to be any time-limited trial version, subscription models, ads-in-application, etc.
I did get the email too, but didn't have the issue.

As a guy born in the Netherlands, you have incredibly poor understanding of the European security and geopolitics. Let me answer point to point:

> I don’t want this war to continue.

Nobody wants, but it's Russia who started it. Russia started a genocidal war of conquest against another peaceful and sovereign country. If Russia stops fighting it, then the war will end. If Ukraine will stop fighting it, then Ukraine will cease to exist as an independent nation.

> And I do feel Russia has had a very valid argument regarding the NATO threat and USA has been aware of this for a long time, still they decided to poke the bear.

Why do you disregard the threat from Russia to Poland, Baltics and Finland, and other eastern flank countries? These countries joined NATO for a reason. They were not asked to join, they were not compelled to join. They joined because they are much smaller and live next to a heavily armed and unstable Russian dictatorship. It is incredible how Russian propaganda tries to paint a nuclear-armed and heavily militarized country as a victim.

> USA sabotaged the Russian-German pipeline

Conspiracy theory with no evidence.

> Germany has proven to be a lap dog of US interests

Huh?

> It’s a shame the Western world and Ukraine deceived Russia with the Minsk accords

It is a shame there are a lot apologetics of the Russian fascism. Unfortunately, there were a lot of callers for peace with the "we don't want war" slogans when Nazis were taking over Europe during the World War II. Some even greeted them with flowers, despite all the artocities, including in your country. Well.. history doesn't repeat itself but it certainly rhymes.
That was probably Outlook Express.
> There should be a compulsory fee option offered by every copyright registration office for them to provide a license (and possibly reproduce a copy of the work).

So should a AAA title that costs millions to produced be forced to license their game for the same amount as my tic tac toe game?

> Reasonable coverage: At least in the US copyright is intended to promote the progress of science and 'useful arts' (skilled 'trades'/work). The scope should be extremely narrow, and maybe even eliminated since _publishing_ is now vastly cheaper than ever before.

Publishing has been a relatively small part of the cost of media for awhile. It’s actually producing the content that’s expensive.
I recoil from svelte and such because when I see someone trying to invent an ad hoc language inside html attributes I get flashbacks to "transcluding" "directives" of Angular 2.

I remember my Apple II "felt" quicker than the first 4.77 MHz IBMs I used. A lot of that was due to BIOS character output on CGA needing to coordinate when to write to VRAM with the 6845 to avoid causing "snow" on the screen.

Anyone trying to justify the usage of React is just suffering from Stockholm Syndrome at this point.
No, both points are perfectly fine. It is just your addition of "same level" that is unreasonable and completely nullifies your post.
React just went for JS naming of the attributes instead of html naming of the attributes. Reasonable, if annoying, choice.
Climate change is unlikely to kill everyone on earth. Other risks, such as an engineered pandemic, asteroid impact, or an AI apocalypse have the possibility of killing ~everyone. This is not saying that climate change is not a real issue.

Real vs Fake DS18B20 (2021)
My point is that there is a plethora of alternatives which would be more concise in conveying whatever the authors had in mind. "Evidently" is a weasel word in this case, and it's just leaving us readers to speculate and argue.
That's not what I see and hear though. People complain often about how complex things become with React and simple things take a long time to set up or develop, compared to rendering a simple template on the server side.

Usually people are not FB and people often do not have the same kind of strict development rules or enforced discipline, nor are they as many people as FB. Maybe the FB tool is not right for them.
This makes for a quite compelling case relating to the Casey Muratori video around clean code that made the tech community rounds recently. The developer of SumatraPDF has rolled his own implementations for a lot of things in order to reduce bloat and it shows! The app is lightning fast and does its job perfectly. Wish we had more native projects like that!

What are the competing services in this space?
Extreme quantitative differences results in qualitative difference.

Anyway, just realized that you side-tracked the whole conversation by moving it into comparing them to each other. That discussion isn't relevant here.

We are talking about a truth model directly, not whether it resembles a truth model in some ways. A spellchecker and a truth checker are both evaluators, but that doesn't mean that a spellchecker is a truth checker or vice versa. Therefore it is wrong to say that ChatGPT has a truth model, since it doesn't evaluate what we call truth, it evaluates the structure of the text not the truth of the text. Evaluators returns a boolean or some number, but that "true" or "false" are just programmatic terms, that isn't want humans normally consider trueness of falseness. Otherwise you would call any evaluator a "truth checker", since they check if the result is a true boolean. You could do that, but that doesn't make sense for this discussion, since we care about truth and false in the world, not in programmatic terms.

Edit: As for why this is relevant for ChatGPT smartness. It is because we know how to evaluate text structure now, that is the new thing with ChatGPT. But we still don't know how to evaluate the truth of a text, ChatGPT can evaluate the structure but we have no way of turning a structure evaluator into a truth evaluator. We need another kind of model to start evaluating the truth of statements, and until then AI's like ChatGPT will continue to make up facts, since they have no idea what a fact is.
> Important implication: It’s common but not necessarily always useful to say the language model “knows”

What does the author think knowing actually is if not a convergence of probability distributions?

I'd like for all these "let me explain to you how things work" type write ups to first define what their understanding of the key preexisting concepts are (like what it is to know something). So when they try to explain the new concepts I don't waste my time learning concepts formed on a flawed understanding of their foundational counterparts.

I honestly can't tell if you're trolling or you said 'AWS' and 'Microsoft 360' and meant cloud and managed email.

> What kind of alternatives do you use for your email, browser, centralised data storage, etc. ?

There are plenty of browser alternatives (firefox, safari, vivaldi, even chromium).

There are dozens if not hundreds of email providers, and you can even provide your own.

You can 'centralize data storage' on disks on hardware you own, on premises or colocated. You could even use one of the dozens to hundreds of managed service and cloud providers.
> Microsoft has not explained the reason, but it likely has to do with hundreds of vulnerable bootloaders that remain in use today. If those signed binaries are revoked, millions of devices will no longer work.

I still don't use secure boot. I don't see the maid problem as a serious threat. Not the only way to get an UEFI or bios rootkit, but still.

I do think a third party putting my OS on a revocation list is a threat though.
I wrote a Fall Detector app once.

When the user is wearing the device (dedicated Android phone), a 'chain' of protection is rendered (3D) which indicates the state of the Fall Detection algorithm. When the algorithm detects a fall, the chain is broken.

During the fall, the app indicates whats happening with audio prompts - caretaker alerted, acknolwedged, etc. - and then in order for the app to be changed from "Alert all caretaker" state back to 'ring of safety' mode, the user has to swipe the alert icon. The purpose for this is to ensure that in the case of fall, the app persists until the caretaker acks the app, physically.

This proved to be quite workable and fit with multiple users - the 3D "chains" were easy for the frail user to see, while wearing the device - then in case of falls, audio and vibration was used to let the user know help is on its way - and then, to acknowledge, the alert caretaker gets a separate UI that makes accidental de-activation (during an actual fall) impossible.
Yes, but we'll quickly spiral into infinity if we take it too far. For our intents and purposes, currency is a placeholder for value. If you have that value (whether actually material or represented by currency), you'll have a much better chance to find someone who will exchange it for services. Their incentive is getting something from you in exchange.

On the other hand, in the current system as it's used in France, Germany etc, their incentive is that hopefully someone else will do it for them in 40 years. But from what I gather, very few members of GenZ believe that our pension system will survive in its current form until it's their turn to benefit from it. They expect it to collapse, so everything they'd now put in would be wasted, much like if you invest in something after it has signaled that it will default soon.

Thankfully, modern C and C++ compilers have -Wconversion or equivalent flags so you can require explicit conversions.
That’s highly dependent on the type of product / customers you have. If you’re running an online shop selling ice cream, going from 100ms to 2ms list sorting speed isn’t gonna get you more sales. I’d argue most online products are ice cream shops to some degree.

This is the key answer here, i switched from a HP to a brother everything just works now, and i dont have to download 1gb "driver packages".
