Are you aware how lowlevel hardware often works? Its basically .. write value 0xDEADBEEF to adress 0x00A0. Wait three cycles, while the underlying hardware performs some steps, to switch into a different mode, then continue with operations in said mode.

This seems something that is very unintuitive, even with the given documentation (which one often does not get). Often enough, all that is available is the assembly itself (thus reverse engineer). So how does chat gpt do with just the assembly? Can it write documentation on a given hardware plattform, just given the assembly?

I believe at some point the problem must be solved at the source. Perhaps idealistic, but I believe it can be possible if values adapt as they did in the past.

While his statements certainly are controversial and everyone is very free to disagree, the real problem are those that decry verbal opinions and demand consequences. Often the most judgmental that have most shortcomings themselves and I believe that was fairly transparent with vocal accusers of Stallman.

Disappointing in recent years where companies and institutions that reacted full of panic at any hint of a negative press and just ruthlessly evicted employees to not succumb to a "toxic work atmosphere" (which they have just created by reacting as they did). Having the back of your employees in principle until guilt is proved is a value itself. Something self-evident but what many companies just as evidently lack.

Otherwise we need to adhere to the old rules of PR and that often means that we will be ruled by stupidity or some emotional gratification by randomly formed groups. And the rules of PR will also apply to everyone that has a public persona on the net. They would need some form of PR firm or have a good talent see through emotional needs of listeners.

I don't believe that your career does depend on reputation as much as it did in the past for that matter. Just because there are many more channels today. There still is a mainstream, but it lost relevance in comparison.
Abstractions are useful, this is true, but the exceptions are a reminder that they are not reality, they are just a categorization we overlay on top of reality to help us understand it. Their utility is contextual.

Besides, didn’t Bob Lee himself move to Miami because of the bad security in San Francisco?
The police would prefer the statistics show a rise in violent crime, because that would quickly result in an increase of their funding, which they actively and publicly pursue constantly. So if it's propaganda, it's self-defeating propaganda, making it far more likely that you're experiencing paranoia based on mass hysteria, rather than a police department going massively out of their way to turn down millions of dollars.

Props to the whatsapp team for improving the machinery!

One question I have is how the protocol handles forks, or in other word what prevents the centralized service from sharing different views to different users?

To me the problem screams: you need a consensus protocol. Without a consensus protocol you’re just hopping that users might be able to detect malicious forks by gossiping.

If there’s a non-cryptocurrency usecase for blockchains, this is it.

The visual logic sure seems nice, and the test results seem to speak for themselves (would be interesting to see studies on its impact). But I can't help but feel that if we are going to introduce a new number system with a different base at all, then that base should be 12. It's a highly composite number, it's divisible by 2, 3, 4 and 6, meaning that 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/6 (and their multiples) all have finite-digit representations, which would simplify a lot of everyday calculations. Several pop science articles have been written about the case for base 12:

https://www.scienceabc.com/eyeopeners/why-we-should-already-...
https://gizmodo.com/why-we-should-switch-to-a-base-12-counti...

The clock starts counting upon the completion of the crime. There are exceptions as I explained previously; for example, if your crime involves conspiracy with another person, then all future communications with or actions in consort with that person in furtherance of your crime resets the clock. To give an example, if you collude with someone in accounting to defraud your company and have them sign false financial statements to cover it up, the clock is reset upon each signature they make or each time you ask.

I don't think people like Stallman need to be actively supported. If what they have to say is valuable then that's what counts, especially if he is genuine in his activism.

Whilst Stallman has made a lot of very astute and smart observations and contributions throughout his lifetime, he's increasingly irrelevant in a world that's changed many times over since he was last truly relevant to what's happening for anybody.

He's a great speaker and writer, he's fascinating to listen to, but some arguments of his lack substance and solutions other than "this is bad, so don't use it".

I grant all of your points. But I think there would be some very clear upsides as well, assuming that longevity is available to more than just a few billionaires.

Years spent observing a field or topic with a well-trained eye is incredibly valuable. But by the time you're an expert, you typically have at best 3 decades and often much less to practice before serious decline kicks in. It would be a very different world where the number of experts and veterans rose by an order of magnitude.

Also, as I've come to see with my own advancing years, humans are very good at forgetting history and its lessons. The best way to maintain historical awareness is to simply have people around who lived through it. The current historical moment is an illustration of this - the world is sliding toward large-scale war just as the last of those who saw ww2 with their own eyes are leaving the scene. I don't think that's a coincidence.

I have seen these comments and this excuse (among others) as well. The thing that amuses me, before that amusement turns to some sort of cosmic existential horror dread, is the lack of critical thinking and general reasoning skills on display.

The argument that AI is not replacing anyone yet is a strange one, because it implies that the outcome is inevitable (and at least unfortunate, presumably) but you shouldn't worry about it. You know, because it hasn't happened yet. But it will. So stop talking about it.

I don't know, I just find that strange. (and seeing this pattern all over the place increasingly frequently is deeply concerning but that's a real-talk so I better stop).

I don't think we are smarter than evolution, in this regard.

Evolution is not smart at all. It trends toward reproductive success and that's all. At the most basic level, natural selection is an emergent phenomena of an energy-scarce environment. That is no longer the case for humans. A single human now has access to orders of magnitude more energy than any of our ancestors. It no longer matters if keeping an individual from aging requires ten times the energy input of creating and raising a child. That entire realm of biological innovation is completely invisible to traditional evolution.

Margins are not going to hold for Tesla. They had the privilege of being the only strong EV vehicle on the market. Those days are gone. They had a certain cache as a luxury-ideal brand; that's been deeply eroded by a reputation for iffy finish quality and a certain high-profile personality's choices. And if their falling prices are any indication, Tesla knows that its high margin days are numbered if not outright over, and they're headed towards being just another manufacturer.

Re: RLS:

Pros

- The simplicity+security is hard to beat

- Supabase is built around it. I really want the purity of just one platform.

Cons (in order)

- Our enterprise customers need regular oversight of policy + logs for their compliance (and our ongoing relationship). RLS doesn't expose that afaik.

- RLS can't control access to API end points in places like Edge Functions (again, afaik). Same for any 3rd party systems you might have mixed in.

- In my experience, RLS has quite a few foot guns in it as schemas migrate and evolve (security gaps open up, or recursion bites you).

> What is more dangerous, a random stranger with a gun or a bear?

So far, neither has harmed (major or minor) me or my extended family in any way. And I live within a few miles of places where people regularly hunt; in a deep red state with a long history of hunting and trapping and carrying firearms (open, concealed, and in vehicles).

Which one has come closer to being dangerous to me and mine? A bear. I've been at more risk of being mauled by a bear (driving down a road on an ATV and ending up between a mama and her cub) than being shot (haven't noticed a gun being pointed in my direction, no mass shootings within several hundred miles of my home).

And bears, if you're near their territory, are damned dangerous. They're wild animals who love to come into our places because we have free food (our trash). Bear spray, a long touted alternative, doesn't work on an angry bear. It doesn't even always work on an angry human.

> Can you conceive of a way to live in proximity to these animals without a firearm?

Not without sacrificing lives or property. Wild animals don't respect fences and property lines. And they regularly threaten people, pets, and livestock.

Additionally, IMO, a bullet is kinder than poison (which is what the Bureau of Wildlife Management uses).

> Would our country be better off if the average citizen did not have such easy access to guns & ammunition?

Hunting rifles and revolvers (as I called out in my original message)? I don't believe so. And my position is based on US history, where we've had access to these kinds of firearms for centuries.

Assault rifles and semi-automatic pistols? An unambiguous yes.

>People don't feel safe walking around and you can't just dismiss that. It's their "lived experience". The fact that everyone assumed that Bob Lee was murdered randomly says something about the state of the city.

It definitely says something about the people that made that assumption. But this is just tautologic - it's unsafe because I feel unsafe, and I feel unsafe because it is unsafe. As a NY'er, this seems like a ton of whining by people that never actually encountered any actual threatening, so they make these whiny, dramatic, histrionic arguments about how the city is "beyond" saving, using all sorts of overhyped rhetoric.
> It feels a bit like you're championing a narrative of "See, it's not so bad! You'll just get your stuff stolen and your car vandalized!" I wouldn't feel so smug about that.

Anyone close to the US security establishment recognizes the widespread abuse of the classification system. It becomes the default stance, to slap a “SECRET” designation on something. Just like how, in the old days, “nobody ever got fired for buying IBM,” today we nights say “nobody ever got reprimanded for classifying documents.”

When the classification system balloons like this, inevitably the number of people with access rises as well. And, the seriousness with which they regard classification plummets.
