No one discusses the elephant in the room: who elected these elites to decide what was and wasn't ethical and responsible? Nobody.

So who ends up making the ethical decisions? A group of highly privileged SV types insulated from the very real problems, concerns, and perspectives of the ordinary person.

This is just more of what humans have been doing over millennia: taking power then telling everyone else it was too dangerous for them to wield.

I think the scariest part is not even the content but the connection that people can develop with these bot personalities.

A demagogue who knows your intimate desires and fears and talks just to you, seems to care about you, is available 24/7. Your very own Personal Jesus (or Personal Hitler).

Every communications revolution seems to lead to a genocide. Radio and TV in the 20th century (Germany, Rwanda etc.) Social media in the past decade (Myanmar). The upcoming AI-instigated genocide is a terrifying thought. The Rwandans didn’t think they’d start killing their neighbors even as rhetoric on the radio got harder. Chatbot-dependent Americans may not see it coming either.

> Can we (the world) come to an agreement? From there, can we change laws to make this work the way it should?

I doubt there is any consensus for this. Or even a consensus on this being a problem to begin with. The easiest thing for legislators is to do nothing. Predicting that they will do exactly that is almost a foregone conclusion. After all that is what historically happens any time somebody has some issue with the way copyright works. In light of that, all judges can do is rule consistently with previous rulings. And there are a lot of those. Disregarding those is not something they can do. There's going to be lots of haggling on the details but in the end, they can't just wipe out centuries of previous cases and change e.g. the very loosely defined notion of fair use just because it is convenient for some subset of copyright holders.

Replace the word AI with "child" in the your comment and you kind of have the legal situation in a nutshell. If you stop thinking about AIs as special in any way and just focus on the outcome: a brain like thing producing content that may or may not infringe on some copyrighted work when it is distributed by someone. The distributing part is going to be done by people typically and it's what creates the infringement.

The simplest thing for a judge is to simply look at the content, disregard the way in which it was produced, and compare it to the original work. Either that's going to be a clear infringement under pre-existing notions of that or it isn't. The way in which that copy was created exactly is not really material to the case. There's no need to make any exceptions for there being an AI involved in some way or not. Either the content is an infringement or it is not.

Of course that would require judges and lawyers to be rational and logical, which is not an assumption I'd make lightly. But usually these things have a way of coming to some kind of conclusion that big stakeholders in society can live with.

>If you are still with me, this is about the point where things start to get incomprehensible. Just close your eyes and keep copying/pasting yaml.

Excellent writeup. This line seems to track with what other people have told me about maintaining Kubernetes deployments. Almost no-one really understands the YAML (beyond the basics), so you end up with services defined via tens of thousands of lines of unmaintainable copy pasta YAML. This problem probably isn't going to surface so quickly (if ever) for a smaller project.
Desktop Environments are OK, but they do not give me anything I cannot already do with fvwm (or other window managers).

I am not looking forward to the day Wayland is forced upon us by various Linux Distros. Seems Red Hat type distros are marching full speed ahead to Wayland. Thus no fvwm for me (at least on Linux).
I've been using macOS for quite some time and I have the same feeling. I think it is a great system in general for your "average Joe" but for development and power user stuff it is inferior to Linux.

Don't even get me started on Docker and how it works on it.

> No, what they want is for all workers _of the same job_ to earn a fair wage, at the very least. Not a single time has a union prevented people from having a higher wage than their colleagues.

And who decides what is a fair wage? And even considering this is what they want, then why should then the ranges be public and tight for a specific job? There are a lot of people here saying it is not in the spirit of the law to say a position pays between 100k and 900k.

> Are a human being with a life, feelings and a family or a fucking object to be tossed away when you're drained dry ? Once again, unions don't prevent companies from firing people. They ask that it be done properly and respectfully. In most of the world, you get indemnities for being fired.

You are basically a cog in a machine. Yes, its callous, but it is what it is. This is why you have unemployment benefits in care you're fired. And do you mean fired properly and respectfully? A red carpet when you leave the premises?

> So you can reach the glass ceiling because you're just yet another drone to your higher ups, that will do everything in their power to keep you as just that, a salaried man while they reap the fruits of _your_ labor ?

This is laughable, it's the kind of socialist speech that has no basis in reality. This is why you are paid in the first place, to do some work that someone else designed for you. If you want to reap the fruits of your labor, start a company and sell your product(s).

> You won't be. You won't be because you're not part of them already. You won't get into YC because you're not a part of the cool kids club. You won't be because they make damn sure of it. And sure, you can make a bit of money. But you'll still be a prole to them, and to the world. But now you get to spit on those poorer than you, and think you're in any way superior to them while they laugh.

I don't know if you know, but there are a lot of stories about people quitting their jobs to start successful companies. And some of them joined YC and so on. Just because most people don't do it its because they prefer the perceived confort of a job to the stress of being an entrepreneur.

> "Hard work gets rewarded" is the poisonous thought put into place by men who haven't worked a day in their lives. Your trash collector works harder than you ever will, and it's not unions holding him back.

I worked hard and got rewarded. And it works. Regading your comment: It is simply the perceived value of the physical work that is put in. That's why you have a lot of low paying jobs: their perceived value to other people.
Do you still use browser bookmarks?

Yes. The shell function to start my browser backs up my bookmarks, runs bleachbit, then runs a vacuum on my bookmarks, purges last visit_date from anything older than a month then spawns Firefox inside Firejail. I depend on bookmarks enough to back them up every time I start the browser.

> In January 2016, the Foundation announced the creation of an endowment to safeguard its future. The Wikimedia Endowment was established as a donor-advised fund at the Tides Foundation, with a stated goal to raise US$100 million in the next 10 years.

> The Foundation itself has provided annual grants of $5 million to its Endowment since 2016. These amounts have been recorded as part of the Foundation's "awards and grants" expenses. In September 2021, the Foundation announced that the Wikimedia Endowment had reached its initial $100 million fundraising goal in June 2021, five years ahead of its initial target.

That's 2.7% of the money donated to the Foundation, right?

I think the bug was that your first sheet came from a small set and the people entering bad data would refresh instead of doing the actually random next sheet, so entries for most of the sheets came only from people who had long sessions who were apparently more likely to enter good data.
Brave is based on Chromium. Google has a significant hand in Chromium developments. If Manifest V2 is deprecated on Chrome, other Chromium forks have to work harder and harder to maintain it as time goes on. Firefox is slightly less vulnerable since it's a different engine.

> Amiga OS does use the second core even if the software does not, just like every modern system. Do you think it just piles every single process onto a single core?

It's much worse than that. Only the first core is even "running". The Amiga OS isn't intended to handle true concurrency, which is why the 68k era operating system provides Forbid/Permit and Disable/Enable, which respectively forbid the OS from task switching and disable all interrupts. This made writing a 1980s home video game for the Amiga hardware much easier, but most application software took advantage of this too.

The PowerPC port of the system from the turn of the century actually doubles down on this nonsense, presumably because it made it easier to implement. As a result even "new" Amiga software, such as it is, still relies on these Forbid/Permit and Disable/Enable semantics, ensuring it can't be made to run efficiently on multi-core hardware. If there was widespread new application development you could imagine first shipping new SDKs which avoid these semantics, and latterly getting rid of the programs which use them but obviously for Amiga that's not practical at all and probably hasn't been for many years.

Over the 20+ years since I'm afraid things got a lot more complicated than "Hyperion took over the OS" although since Hyperion are one of several entities engaged in pointless legal wrangling about this topic perhaps if you believe their version of events that's what you'd get out of it. Trevor Dickinson ends up funding a lot of the remaining software development. sometimes via the A-EON Technology Ltd vehicle, other times personally.

There are a long parade of "culprits" if you want to use that term, whether Amiga Inc, Hyperion Entertainment, Eyetech Ltd, or specific individuals like the Friedens, Bill McEwen, Steven Solie, Ben Hermans, Alan Redhouse, Trevor, there are always people who'd like to exchange your money for their promises. Do they know the promises are bogus? I don't care, and if you ensure you don't give them money then nor should you.
When you say text indexing and serving http are library functions, what do you mean? Also, is the language here go or what? Since you said python is too slow and then necessitates all the infra to manage it.

The main issue is the ecosystem imho.

Bare vanilla k8s or k3s is nice but it doesn't do much outside of your homelab. Once you want k8s on production in the cloud you have to start about thinking of:
- loadbalancing and ingress controller
- storage
- network
- iam and roles
- security groups
- centralized logging
- registry management
- vulnerability scanning
- ci/cd
- gitops

And all this is no less complex with k8s than with nomad, bare docker or whatever they chose. And definitely no less complex because it is on a major cloud provider.

What's an example of a good "dictator"? I can think of are individuals who willingly gave up power or set up a democratic system after they left, i.e., George Washington, Ataturk, etc. I can't think of a single historical example where someone actually improved the people's situation in their country, but that could be my bias when I think of someone who is good or my ignorance.
Is it exploitation to pay someone above the average salary in their country?

I would posit that it is more akin to exploitation to keep rich nations rich and poor nations poor.
Yes, LTT is popular enough to have contacts with YouTube who will help them recover. It's still scary to see a huge channel briefly blink out of existence, and people running less well-connected channels are probably looking at this situation with some anxiety.

You're right, i'll redact/edit. Hm, this doc page is exceptionally confusing.

Edit:

So it's kind of interesting, this test (and the functionality behind it) exists specifically to make sure you can't rely on it having a stable identity -- and therefore have to omit it from the dependency array. But it otherwise behaves the same as the popular user-land implementation involving refs (which you still have to include in the dependency array, because it works by providing a stable identity).

So there's some internal trickery in React to make sure that even though the effect event is recreated and has a new identity on every render, any time it's invoked you're accessing the latest inner callback.
Can you please specify what it is that concerns you about the foundation?

Your own failures do not define a model.
Staking is a pooling of assets. A coin is a commodity, a stake in a currency is a security. An iPhone is a commodity, a stake in Apple (shares of their stock, corporate bonds, etc.) is a security.
I think the argument is more that they only work from past inputs, they interpret the world the way they are told to. It is not that 'AI' can do things humans can't (otherwise the argument fails for many technical things, like a car at speed).

If your bet is on the former, how does it create an entirely new, irrational thought?
> and you will need to repair it and you won't be able do it easily because your setup is not containerized which would allow to return to the clean state quite easily with no effort.

Automated deployment including server bringup is orthogonal to using containers or hot failover. For example at $WORK we're deploying Unreal applications to bare metal windows machines without using containers because windows containers aren't as frictionless as linux ones and the required GPU access complicates things further.
I think these kind of shenanigans are byproducts of how regulation in financial services is delivered from the regulating bodies to builders in the space. As opposed to e.g. health where clear guidelines are often the norm, fintech is basically a shit show where regulators expect you to have internal processes to combat fraud, know your customers, do not finance terrorism, money laundering et al. — all without laying out actual precise guidelines of what they really expect want to see from an implementation standpoint, keeping you on your toes all the time. This leads to self-inflicted wounds from financial services providers, anticipating that regulators might not like e.g. stoner stocks and preemptive actions to minimize risk of being shut down.
I love my 14" M2, I considered the 16" but price is definitely a consideration as well as portability. I find the screen to be perfectly adequate for code and multitasking on the go as well as media consumptio, routine tasks etc. The 14" has some heft as well and can only imagin that the 16" would be heaver for when you are on the move. At home I use an external monitor, I also find myself with it in my lap. Personal preference and use case will always be a decision you have to make. Hope this helps.
The EU commission is made up of unelected members who think about themselves that they're gods and they hold the absolute truth.

K8s has some cognitive overhead.
For simple deploy a docker client-server with docker-compose is a winner, see misterio[1] which basically leverage docker-compose +ssh

But when you need to guarantee system will auto-restart, and healthchecks and so on, K8s is the de-facto standard.

Helm template language (based on Go) is not ideal, but it difficult to replace K8s nowadays with simpler systems.

Wikipedia also has something to gain by AI not falling under Fair Use.

Wikipedia is most likely a substantial source of ChatGPT's training data. Considering Wikipedia primarily falls under the CC-BY-SA license, if it isn't fair use it could potentially make parts of ChatGPT - and potentially even its output - fall under CC-BY-SA too.
>Mozilla.ai’s initial focus? Tools that make generative AI safer and more transparent. And, people-centric recommendation systems that don’t misinform or undermine our well-being.

Honestly, I don't see the selling point here. At least for me, I don't want it to be safer. I want the people using it to be safe, sure, but making the AI safe just means building in censorship based on the values of somebody with a lot of money that think they can tell others what to do and think.

I would be much happier if they developed powerful models, made them truly open to usage by all, and then worked on education for people using them or potentially used by them.
Too little too late, and even the wrong focus topic to survive as a company. Google is done. No one cares anymore what google does, its either inferior to alternatives and/or on the graveyard soon anyways. Time to move on.

As a Chinese individual, I own two smartphones - an iPhone, which predominantly features Chinese apps, and an Android phone without any such applications. I primarily use the Android device, but rely on the iPhone for paying bills or getting rides.

For those residing in urban China, it is nearly impossible to avoid owning a smartphone equipped with Chinese apps. This is particularly true during the COVID era, when a green QR pass from these apps is necessary for going anywhere. Mobile technology has become deeply ingrained in Chinese society.

Don't be patronising. Black people are not stupid - I should know because my wife is one.

If a black person says they disagree with the statement "it's OK to be white", you can believe they know what they're saying.

So what is the solution to this?
