This is an absurd attitude. Most human activities have externalities, from farming to driving to playing music to hiking to having the lights on.

Things with externalities should ideally have the beneficiaries be made to pay for those externalities, or if that's not practical, have them measured as best we can and a sin tax imposed.
I hated mine and eventually quit working for life because of a stupid CEO and inexperienced coworkers. Copy and paste what everyone was good at over there.

Luckily i could afford to retire early. I feel sorry for those who got stuck in jobs

Why wouldn't they? Blocking it just leads to more abuse of Discord and its users.
I wonder if GNUstep is going to follow in Apple's backwards compatibility breakage or they'll try and keep existing programs working.

Free Pascal and Lazarus devs also implement a language and API originally defined by some big company in the past and in general try to implement the new stuff Delphi adds, but they also try to avoid breaking existing code. In Free Pascal this is done by using compiler directives in the source code to opt-in for the Delphi stuff whereas in Lazarus they only implement things that do not break existing code - either way you can have code that works with both Delphi and FPC since they're 90% compatible but you need to use IFDEFs for that that last 10%.

Even though i'm using Window Maker and thus GNUstep apps would feel right at home (for the most part), i haven't actually bothered to look into it because Apple has a bad history with breaking existing applications (i got an iMac in 2009 and pretty much every single Mac OS X / macOS update broke some application that previously worked fine - until macOS itself stopped supporting my iMac) and GNUstep's "we're not implementing NextStep anymore, now we're doing Cocoa" stance gives me an impression of "we're going to break your apps just like Apple does".

(of course that is one reason, another is that when i tried some programs made with it years ago there were major glitches and bugs like the text editor widget locking up the entire program - admittedly that was years ago and it probably has been fixed but it did give me a bad impression since the project was already more than a decade old by then and already in a state where barely any developers worked with/on it)

Basically, what i wonder is, if i make a Linux binary today that links only against glibc and the GNUstep libraries (including the ObjC runtime), will it work in 10 years[0] even if it uses some API that in the meanwhile Apple decided to change or it'll break? Ignoring of course breakage forced on the project from outside forces they could do nothing about (e.g. for some unfathomable reason the C ABI itself changing or everyone switching to RISC-V with all x86 CPUs blowing up at the same time and every x86 emulator out there suddenly losing both its source code and any existing binaries).

I get the impression with ObjC having a very "dynamic" nature it should be possible to do that.

[0] obviously if it works in 10 years it'll also work in 20 years since in 20 years a binary made 10 years from now will still rely on the libraries being backwards compatible - the 10 years was an example to give a sense of scale
Moore is no more. :(
I do think this a reasonable rebuttal, but there must be some middle ground here. Generally speaking, I can block TikTok sure, but because it’s so ubiquitous, my kids are ostracized because all their friends have access to it, they still pass around the content like drugs, alcohol and tobacco. It almost becomes one of those things that because they’re not allowed to have access to it, it does just as much damage, socially.

There are three general categories of parents on this, and to be clear, I don’t think any of these are bad parents:
1. Those who are extremely weary and tech savvy, like myself
2. Those who are weary but have no earthly idea how to set up these controls effectively.
3. Those who don’t give a f*all about it at all.

I tend to believe it’s just as bad but it’s about as misunderstood as tobacco used to be. The industry KNOWS it’s bad for kids, it’s been proven bad for kids but it’s peddled to them anyway.

All that aside, let’s just say hypothetically I wanted to manage this all myself and wanted the government out of it, sounds good in theory. The tooling around limiting inappropriate content is mind-blowingly inadequate. At the very least this should be mandatory and more concretely standardized. I’m not flatly against giving kids some access to it but it’s reached a point where my kids can’t even do their homework at all without full access to all of Youtube which by itself has loads of content not remotely appropriate for elementary school kids. Youtube kids is a joke.

It’s pretty frustrating as a parent to manage content restrictions for the 3-4 major browsers, search engines, youtube, messenging apps, iphones, macbook, windows app store, and so on. This could be a full time job. Then, the kids bring home a school provided chromebook or login to chrome with a school account which has no content restrictions at all and I have zero control over anyway. Honestly, parental controls in the current state is largely a waste of time.
Matbe bill gates was one of those
My kids never paid anything on roblox. Also, the bullying you describe sounds like issue with real world bullies in group ofnkids your kids know personally. That sux and is hard to fix, but blaming roblox is weird. I would blame those kids parents.
Modern Compiler Implementation in Java is not really comparable to Crafting Interpreters, is it? I've read the former cover to cover (the ML version) and I've looked through Crafting Interpreters, and I don't feel there is much overlap between the two.
If one of them, presumably the buffalo sentence, indeed has more letters, then could you give us a invertible scheme that maps to each letter of the police sentence, a letter in the buffalo sentence, that covers all the letters in the police sentence, but has letters in the buffalo sentence still left over.
Jensen Huang is awesome and in lots of ways underrated compared to a lot of his contemporaries. Per Wikipedia, he founded the company on his 30th birthday in February, 1993. That means he's spent more of his life running Nvidia than not. What a stellar run.

The two Acquired episodes about Nvidia are fantastic and worth listening to:

Nvidia: The GPU Company (1993-2006): https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/nvidia-the-gpu-company-1993...

Geneva, CH, recommends that you arrive less than 2 hours before your flight departs.

If you are flying within Europe, without checking a bag, and have the QR code from your boarding pass, it always takes less than 30 minutes to get to the gate. Allowing an hour is more than safe.
I think with the advanced level of weaponry we (will) have, the is no thing like a truly gated community no matter the bots.

And given the amount of time needed to actually build this against the current pace of AI progress, the angry mob should materialize itself much earlier. French Nobles didn’t see the Guillotine coming either, even like a day before the revolution
I don't think criminalizing is the right approach. I think taxing them for usage that exceeds a reasonable amount of time might be a reasonable policy. I think it would be ok to 100% tax any advertising profit gained after 1 hour of use. I suppose that creates a conflict of interest because then the government directly benefits from over-use which is its own hazard. I think the most American approach would be to codify that Facebook (or other social media) is directly liable for medical treatment related to social media use creating a feedback mechanism that disincentivizes bad behavior.

I don't know what to do, but I do think social media is becoming a cancer, and I do think we need treatment. I don't now what the treatment is.

I think you're saying the treatment can be worse than the disease, and I agree.

> I'm talking about the problems of using the State to enforce whatever given values or ideals.

I think we probably agree on a lot politically, but this is where I think I take a hard turn.

Somewhere bad faith behavior must be discouraged. Education is one place that happens, the legal system is another place. Education is only a first line defense against bad faith.

In the game theory of daily life, defectors and defection cannot be a winning strategy otherwise society will turn from a high trust society into a low trust society. Consensus will be abandoned in favor of dominance. To be honest, I think we are already to that point.

Human rights are an example of an ideal that the state must enforce. Contractual obligations are an ideal a state must enforce. Rule of law is an ideal that a state must enforce. Property rights are an ideal states must enforce.

Where it becomes less clear is the Fox News case you stated because Fox News is actively trying to destroy the idea of rule of law.

I don't know how to deal with that.

Do you think that's a problem? Should nothing be done?
The level of cope from C64 owners in this thread is particularly high.
This evaluation is hardly unbiased, it's promoting the conclusion that Google's Open Location Code is the way to go (as you might have guessed from the fact that it is in the google/open-location-code repo). Some of the points about others are incorrect or outdated.
On that note, a pet peeve: “comprise” is nearly the same as “consist of” (source Strunk & White). That should be:

Street 14, Kharkiv. I remember battles in that area. I remember when some of the houses there got hit. One night specifically, I was on a base a ways away, and I heard one of the loudest explosions I’d heard during the war. The curtains in our room even lifted, halfway to the ceiling.

My personal experience is that Consul and vault are too complicated to fiddle it. I can spin a kubernetes cluster in minutes but I gave up on trying a Consul+Vault+Nomad lab around all the setup steps for replication, RBAC and whatnot.

> A.I. art is not art.

It isn't human-generated art. It would also be difficult to really label the generating process as a process that generates "art". I'd rather only label the end result as "art" for people that think it qualifies. It's the same as not considering photography as art. How many photographers actively contribute to camera technology? Or how many people that have worked on camera tech can profess to be actual photographers? Very, very few for either case. It's similar for prompting for an image. It's a "skill", the same way photography is a "skill". You'd be hard-pressed 20 years ago to take pictures of a quality consistent with a high-end DSLR today. Yet are people today "better" photographers just because they own better cameras? Or is an "AI Artist" a "better" AI artist because image generation got better, and / or he got a much better model (seeing how the quality of diffusion-based image generation wholly depends upon the model being used, and not so much upon prompt tuning)?

> I will give you a simple example: Who will be the creator of the famous David sculpture? Michelangelo or the rich patron who gave the description of the task? According to the definition of A.I. "art" the patron is the artist.

Yes, and I hope that changes, but it won't as long as there is monetary incentive for companies to shell out models. Genuine human contribution to the models will also decrease exponentially, because everything that could be mined has already been. They can make small gains with labelling but the rest is a hard ceiling.

Attribution is very finicky right now because there's some effort involved in generating those images. If it was completely effortless (with a UI that labeled it as such) and gave sources / similar images, you could stop calling it "art", and instead just plain old machine-based image generation.
>ait is more expensive to build out bandwidth than to give everyone compute

I'm not sure about that. Storing all data on all devices (not just user data but also the pretrained models) means higher data transfer volumes.

On the other hand, syncing data doesn't require low latency and a lot of the data can be transferred over cheaper landline connections rather than mobile towers.

Right now though the default appears to be to upload everything to the cloud right away, regardless of where the data is processed.

And there's also communication and media streaming, which consumes the vast majority of network resources.

Net net I'm not sure whether on-device vs cloud processing will make a big difference for networking costs one way or another.

>Also average car is unused 95/% of the time, so by this principle everyone should take a bus

Yes, and it is hugely inefficient. People who own a car (I don't) are doing it for the benefits it has, not because it's efficient.
I've been trying to get my driving licence since last October. Bureaucracy is way beyond nightmare here. In order to get a driving licence you need to pass a theory test which you can only answer incorrectly 3 of 30 questions (which is plagued of tricky questions). But let's say that is ok, are the rules to be "idoneous" at driving.

In order to actually sit down for this test (which it only takes 20 minutes in front of the computer) you need to first make an appointment, then go to the motor vehicle department and THEN there make the real appointment for the test. For the first appointment there can be 1 or 2 months wait. To sit down in the computer 2 or 3 months.

No one ever will answer the telephone, as a matter of fact all the contacts in the official website are incorrect (the mail address does not exist and the phone number is actually missing a digit). If you show up at the department, no one would actually talk to you if you do not have an appointment, even if the office is empty. If you actually manage to talk to someone they will say that they can't do anything, that everything is with appointment from the website and refuse to help you, they might even treat you rudely as if you were the cause of the problem.

To make any appointment, you need to log in in a crappy site and manually click each day in the calendar until you get lucky and find a day that is free for selection. So if from today two months in time there is an empty slot, you need to click 60 times the calendar.

If you have read "The Trial" by Kafka, this is 100 times worst.

One last thing that goes beyond comprehension. If you come from Argentina (like I do) and you have a valid driver's licence you can get the Italian one by some paperwork only before you get residency but not AFTER. If you want the licence after getting residency, you need to go through this hell.
I used that when building a database of Japanese names, but found that even wikidata is inconsistent in the format/structure of its data, as it's contributed by a variety of automated and human sources!

I get that SM can have lot of bad effects on people

But being controlled and micro-managed by your parents when you're at a stage to naturally seek independence and autonomy.... yeah, can't imagine how that would badly impact anyone of these kids. Like, at all.

How about instead empowering kids to learn about the science of tech addiction, or addiction in general, and the science of how SM effects people...and also teaching them the science of how to free ones self from addiction

Allen Carr's "Smart Phone Dumb Phone" might be a good option for instance

But micromanaging teens is the worst thing for them. We all learn from knowledge and understanding, not being controlled

Wittgenstein's Tractatus is about "playing" philosophy, using its rule, until we prove that what has been said since the beginning is pure non-sense.
Interesting idea of the open mind map. I was wondering if information bubble, while accessible, is the right term. But it suffices in terms of explanation.

Isn’t Wikipedia already the mind map of humanity in a way? Or is your project more from an individual standpoint?

By the by, Obsidian recently added a canvas to mind map notes and nodes. Maybe the code can be helpful for your project.
If the US was half a competent at city planning as Europe it would be a no brainier for me. Unfortunately the US cities that are remotely walkable are also the most expensive. Phoenix / LA / Texas car dependency? HELL NO
I think the reason that what3words has taken off while (almost objectively) better systems are mostly unused is that it’s just more fun, which makes it innately viral. Looking up your house and finding it’s called crazy.wooden.marmot is something you’re likely to share and remember. Plus codes don’t have the same appeal.

Also, the vast majority of people really don’t care that it’s proprietary, sadly.

Question is: would a 2x or 3x developer paired with an AI be more productive than a 2x or 3x developer paired with a team of several 1x and 0.5x developers? Cutting out coordination costs while still getting the grunt work done by someone else seems like it would lead to much higher and more coherent output.
To understand modern LLMs we all should study more Wittgenstein.

I have been contemplating the use theory of meaning recently, and it’s direct implications for generative language models.

This is yet another instance of "Think of the children":

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_of_the_children
"At a think-tank forum in Taipei in 2021, Chang shrugged off competition from Intel, declaring, "No one in the United States is as dedicated to their work as in Taiwan."

No doubt, cultural differences are the reason why the East is forging ahead in technology. For the US to catch up it would have to return to the ways of research and manufacturing methods it adopted during WWII as well as adopting the attitudes it held back then that enabled that remarkable level of development and manufacturing output.

Much of the East works as if it's on a war footing, the US hasn't done so since 1945. One poignant illustration of that is the cultural clash of US engineers with their Taiwanese counterparts when they visited Taiwan as mentioned in the article.

"Careful attention to education over the last 30 years has begun to pay dividends,” Wang said of Taiwan in 1982."

There's a lesson here too for the US and the West. In recent decades many Western universities have allowed themselves to be torn apart by politics, education has suffered thus.
Absolutely this.

Compilers was the first (and, perhaps, only) course where having playid a lot worth computers before didn't matter. At. All.

At the same time, you learned some theory you didn't know (couldn't even have predicted) - that actually had direct practical application!

It was amazing and a microcosmos of CS - in that you first get a general understanding of the problem and desires outcome, learn theory that you couldn't have predicted but is amazingly apt for this, and end up making stuff work thanks to all of this.

It's an amazing experience that everyone with an interest in CS deserves to have.
Curious - on a scale out of 10, how much of that was written by ChatGPT?

I think waiting can be used effectively for actions that are not common and you want the user to take a little time to consider the choice. I think it’s used badly more often that well, but it sometimes is used well. In games for example, a destructive action like refunding a point that’s earned and the refund costs earning time. Something you do sometimes, costs a little effort, but doesn’t warrant a confirmation button.

You completely missed my point, the problem isn’t that the rich and the super rich are flying private jets. The problem is they are actively controlling the narrative and obstructing progress.

Climate change is beyond individual choices. The infrastructure of suburban homes and roads doesn’t go away when someone moves into a city.

The actual solution is to discourage and then eliminate mining coal and other fossil fuels. Rather than simply rearranging deck chairs on the titanic.
