It was interesting to read the article after reading the top comments, which seem more based on a headline rather than tfa read. The nut graph is at the end:

If you’re taking AI or drop shipping startup ideas from online videos with hundreds of thousands of views, you’ve already lost. This is a truth of media literacy, not business or science, and it’s a lot more difficult to learn than watching a YouTube video that basically amounts to “eight easy ways to lose your life savings.”
I've currently got two issues with my sleep: I'm a chronic couch sleeper and I am incapable of sleeping in. The first problem is most nights, about half my night, from 11-3am usually, I sleep on the couch before getting up and going to bed, I don't feel tired the morning after but I know there's an impact. The second issue is that I just can't sleep in, if I go to bed at 11pm, I wake up at 7am, if I'm out late with friends and stay up till 3am, I'm still up at 7am. For me it's like at 7am my brain just starts working, I was laying in my bed at 6:50am this morning and my brain is already going "alright we gotta work on that new database, oh how should I design it, yada, yada, yada", after a while of staring at the ceiling I always just go "fuck it might as well get to work".

Confidently Wrong: How the Dunning-Kruger Effect Impacts Your Money
I really wanted there to be controllable habits listed in this article, but instead it was about sleep characteristics.

Telling me that "having trouble falling asleep," or "having trouble staying asleep," or "not feeling alert upon waking" are working against me is useless to me. These aren't "habits." I'm not choosing to do them until they become routine. They just happen to me.

Tell me how to FIX those things. Tell me what habits would help me fall asleep, stay asleep, and feel rested.

As-is, this isn't actionable. It's just, "Hey, people who don't sleep well don't live as long."
I was wondering the same. Is this part 2 of a series or something?

To be honest, he also has an article arguing the opposite. Probably he wanted to present both sides of the coin, but i find this particular article to be very wrong.
Perhaps that’s deliberate for plausible deniability both for the seller and buyers.
KDE telemetry is strictly opt in. Some distro like openSUSE even disable it completely. We don't nage you into enabling them. KDE is a non profit, we won't sell any data and only wn handful of developer have access to the data. We have a clear process about how to introduce telemetry in an application.

We have a clear privacy policy https://kde.org/privacypolicy-apps/ and privacy is something we really care about. See for example initiative to develop kde itinerary to be able to track your travel in a privacy councious way or all the work on gpg/autocrypt in kmail wnd kleopatra.

It's a firm spring mattress with a relatively thick and soft mattress topper.

But it's a bit of a compromise. My girlfriend hates foam mattresses even though I thought they felt great. This set-up lets me get a somewhat similar feel of sinking into the bed while being well supported.

She's also much lighter than I am and wants a soft mattress, so her side of the bed is softer.

You estimate how many people use computers and how many people use computers you make. When you subtract the two, you get how many people use computers that your competitors make.

Not every “internal metric” is something you can measure directly.
Whether it’s easy or not in your particular space isn’t the problem. The problem is that it breaks period.

Some applications might be easy to upgrade. Others will not. You are forced to do work, because for some minority it feels nicer when they get to use that new feature. And it has to look a certain way, no matter the cost! Some of the stuff that’s comming will be even worse.

The even bigger issue is that your underlying tool breaks, which has an impact on dependecies as well. Foo needs version N now, but you also depend on Bar which only works with N-1.

It’s not fun, and it’s expensive.
> I would absolutely love to see a policy that forbids the sharing of photos of children, and any identifying details of children, to a public audience. If people want to share those things with their direct network, then sure.

And even that is difficult. I mean, let's say Facebook could be required to forbid people from sharing intimate stuff about children with the world at large, but only let them be visible to family and friends. “Wow, easy, problem solved!”, right? But then there are lots of people who have many hundreds, even thousands, of “friends”. How “direct” a network is that?!? So no, not easy at all.
I agree.

I don’t understand why they took this risk. The internet archive is a great resource, why did they pick this digital lending hill to die / risk all that on?

It seems irresponsible.
What symptoms did you have, if one may ask?
So if this is what we would consider "hallucinations" then sure I experienced all this and more. One of the more interesting experiences for me is when I try to cook food on acid. On day to day basis I am quite good cook and I can reliably judge how well done something is but on LSD all those abilities simply disappear. I can't tell if the meat on the pan is done or not without thermometer.
But I think reducing hallucinations to distortions doesn't fully capture what is going on. LSD affects the mechanism of active perception as well as the passive perception. I think when we talk of hallucination then this is the area people have in mind and what is important hallucination is one of the least interesting ways acid affect active perception. What I mean by active perception as contrasted with passive one is that all things you mentioned are passive perceptions. But our mind does not only recognises objects in the world but it is also participating in constructing new categories which establish new objects. For further reference the key-word is "The myth of the given" but what I want to point here is that this ability of the mind to put sense data under categories is affected with LSD in a incredibly interesting way. This is why hallucinations as perception of things which completely don't exist are so difficult to have and you either need to have a "special type of soul" or take such a large dose that you no longer operate on external sense data since they are so distorted.

Most of the software doesn't make it on one platform, let alone on many.
Yeah it used to be quite buggy aout two years ago. But nowadays. I have no issues at all. Well almost none. yeah sure some little hiccup comes up sometimes but overall just runs smoothly. Most probably the improvement also has something to do with my switch to openSUSE Tumbleweed, they really pay a lot of attention to KDE software integration, and it shows.
I feel the same.

What I'm constantly wondering is why macOS is so popular, especially with tech people, like developers.

It's the most terrible platform, imho. It's more buggy than Windows, it has the same malware problem as Windows, it's spy- & adware as Windows, it's inflexible, it's completely dumbed down, and it's incompatible to anything (even it former self).

The usability of macOS is even worse than Windows, imho. Still it's very popular.

Why is the brainwashing by Apple's marketing so effective? I don't get it.
Oh that takes me back to trying to explain to some Gentoo users back in the day that that yea you can optimise stuff better for your slow ass computer. But you now have to spend most of your time compiling code on your slow ass computer.

I always found Arch to be a much more reasonable system for this use case because compiling everything from scratch was just pointless, at least back then. But it still maoes it easy to rebuild packages with custom patches etc.
Not a fan of the analogy, I like to think that would be her own decision, not her partner's.

Anyway, companies are capitalist entities, so all that ultimately matters for them is to make more money. The majority of decisions happen along the axis of short term revenue vs long term revenue (e.g. not ruining your brand, not getting fined etc).

In an environment of insecurity and fear, I've seen companies focus more on the short term, since it's less speculative. But it sure doesn't look very good from the outside.
There's some innovation - YES but a lot of "catching up" with other languages.

Oh yeah, I forgot: Rich people do.
The difference is that Google has come under enough historical privacy flak that they now aggressively privacy red-team new functionality like this and do things like make it opt-in.
Can’t they though? Presumably there would be a form that validates inputs that they can use. Part of the problem that OP described is that they were writing directly to the “database” (and OP had to validate input afterwards).

> Base UX is excellent, lots of settings and they’re easy to find. Vertical tab bar, profiles, and it all Just Works. I flat out love its “turn this website into a desktop app” feature.

IMO this is one of the great tragedies with MS Edge. The UX is so much better than standard chromium but because of all the other crap that MS puts into it, I just can't use it. If MS open sourced Edge and someone created an "UnMicrosofted Edge", I would use that in a heartbeat.

Currently the only place I use it is on my work laptop where I don't have any personal info and just generally don't give a crap about privacy since I'm inside my company intranet, bitbucket or jira all day. It's honestly really great for that sort of thing because the vertical tabs let you have 50+ tabs open and still read what they are, but there's just no way I would use it for anything personal or outside of work.
You’re probably probing at something that taking a full hit of LSD would help—

Primarily because people don’t know what they are and are afraid to question it.

John Carmack on AI affecting coding jobs
Ha. So I searched with the first phrases, and there are multiple results that are identical. But then there's this :"In theory, as its density is 19.1g/cm3, which is approximately 70% denser than lead, uranium could be used as material of making fake coin. However, it is weakly radioactive and not as dense as gold, so it does not appear to be a practical method. Then people have discovered that tungsten is environmental-friendly, durable and hardness, the most important is that its density of 19.25g/cm3 is just about the same density as gold (19.3g/cm3), which bears the similar specific gravity."
So I guess someone copy pasted a mistake that someone did when shortening the original version.

It absolutely works and is the best thing since sliced bread within package managers — many UNIX tools are just simply broken on Mac (not always on the packaging side), and in case of more niche tools it is simply not a priority.
Almost every default setting from companies like Microsoft and google with have tons of telemetry enabled to ‘serve’ you better.

I believe Ooshutup like tools can help up to a certain extent.
Lying about it comes across badly. As though they think their best chance of success is to pretend it’s about something else. I support the IA mission generally but this came across as exceedingly dumb when they did it.

Maybe they are right and this existential gamble will work and it’ll clarify an area of ambiguity that means it was legal - I’d love to be wrong. But I’m not placing any bets on that.

In these discussions it's good to quantify what you mean by "many connections".

Eg web is full of people posting Java OutOfMemory stack traces when they haven't increased the OS resource limits from the default and are imagining that the limit is 10k threads instead of 1M threads on their hw, falsely concluding that Java uses uses a lot of physical memory per thread stack.

I think it's worth noting that you would never forage/collect seaweed that's been washed up on the shore, since
1. you don't know how far along it is in terms of decomposing
2. The water quality of where it grew

So I am not sure this is a valid argument unless you were trying to imply that clearly seaweed is still growing. But one point in time says nothing about a possible trend
> Assuming the utility is breaking that down more or less honestly

That's a bit of an odd one, as the amount of electricity you consume has little direct effect on maintenance costs. Now, it might be in some sense "fair" to charge heavier consumers more, and there's a second order effect whereby if total demand exceeds some threshold, the grid must be upgraded to cope, but if that "delivery fee" scales with your consumption then you're definitely looking at some "creative" accounting.
Maybe all that quantum nonsense we can't explain is due to some type of time travel we don't comprehend.

I think this is a dosage thing. The first time I took acid, after about 3 hours whenever I stared at the back of my hands, I could see the skin flying off like particles of sand exposing the muscles underneath with vines growing out from between the muscles. The harder/longer you stared the more detail you'd see.
Is there an actual example of what these "enhanced" spell-checkers provide over basic ones that run locally? To me it seems like spell checking is a problem that Word from over a decade ago solved well enough (and ran fine on that era's hardware).
I think there is quite a bit difference between archiving stuff. And making it publicly available. The first one make lot of sense, even if technically the content does not follow copyright laws. But there is important cultural history with it that should be considered. But on other side, maybe access should be limited in someways.
That's probably not the point. His goal is likely auditability, not getting outside contributions.

However:

> I don’t think Elon understands open source

Absolutely. Like most popular tech-wannabes he uses the term to mean something like "freely licensed". I fact he called his opening up of Tesla's patents "open sourcing" them.

As somebody who knows what "open source" actually means, I cringe at this over-use. On the other hand I appreciate that the term and the concept are gaining popularity.

The difference is that Apple, at least until Catalina/Big Sur/Ventura, had good taste.

Whatever good taste Microsoft had, it evaporated shortly after the release of Windows 7.

But Reagent supports functional components as well, with hooks and all. I don't see why I'd have to change an entire library because class components are being retired. I also very much like Hiccup, and so do many of us, because code is data and data is code, and Helix has decided not to support that.

90%? Why not 100% created by humans?
Perhaps that's because you haven't asked a single good question?

What do matrix multiplication and optimisation have to do with the way the human mind, or the human brain work? That they have anything to do at all, is your assumption, that you seem absolutely convinced about- and then you go asking people why can't it be true? You say why it is true. It's your assumption.

Matrix multiplication and optimization are human mathematical techniques. They have about as good a chance of being something that exists in nature independently of humans as Magic: the Gathering and Call of Duty. They might be useful models to help us understand how things work, but to assume they are how things work is a huge leap of faith.

Ask the right questions and then an answer may even suggest itself. Ask questions that follow from your preconceived answers and you're in a world of fantasy.

I literally came out of retirement to rejoin EFF and fight DRM at the W3C. I managed to get the W3C membership to reject DRM twice, only to be overruled by the executive (the W3C's constitution allows for the director to treat votes as advisory). It was the only time in W3C history that anything remotely like this happened. In the end, EFF publicly resigned from the W3C over it:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/09/open-letter-w3c-direct...

Obviously, I failed. But I did nothing else for four years but fight DRM at the W3C. I wrote op-eds. I personally telephoned every single W3C member's rep to talk to them about this - many times. I published hundreds of articles. I did radio interviews. Podcasts. We organized an in-person protest and picketed a W3C event.

There was never a "day when EFF, Cory Doctorow...kept mum while DRM was being added to the HTML5 spec."

That is an obvious typo. The intention must have been to write "uranium" everywhere in that paragraph, instead of "tungsten".

Uranium and tungsten are the 2 metals which have about the same density as gold, so they can be used to fake gold. The only alternative would be to use alloys of rhenium, osmium, iridium or platinum (or also neptunium, but that is too expensive and too radioactive), but that would be pointless because such alloys would be too expensive.

Nevertheless, when I have read the paragraph for the first time, I have not spotted the error, because it is also true that tungsten is weakly radioactive.

The majority of the chemical elements heavier than the rare-earth elements, with a few exceptions (lead, gold, mercury and iridium) are weakly radioactive, but their radioactivity is several orders of magnitude lower than that of thorium and uranium.
I have literally been part of them doing similar things in the past.
