I would argue that's the entire point of the OP.

It's not the EU that's causing the fear of breaking laws. It's the ad tech industry that is instilling that fear by fostering the "you need a cookie banner on your site now" FUD. If Joe Schmoe thinks he needs a cookie banner for doing nothing and puts one up, then from a user's perspective, all sites are equally bad.

Compare with "Ask App Not to Track" in iOS, which is enforced by the OS and actually means something. The tracking industry hates that one because it shows them for what they are (not all apps need to throw up that screen) and they don't get to blame the EU for it.
How far is Servo from being daily-driveable? What's stopping someone from slapping it together with SpiderMonkey or some other JS runtime and calling it a browser?
It's not interesting. You can regard OpenAI as one of the most prestigious AI labs in the world and only the best of the best get a chance to work there.
Yeah, but when your argument is that $BAD_THING still occurs in a democracy (which it certainly does), then it doesn’t help if you weaken that to a “supposed” democracy, because then the counterargument is that it wouldn’t happen in a real democracy. Whereas your aim is to argue that (real) democracy isn’t a panacea.
Are you aware of what the "A" in AI and the "M" in ML stand for?
Well, here's the thing though, it could be argued that they are essential for site functionality (if you conflate functionality with availability for example), however, you are revealing the IP of the user to those third-party services, which is no bueno.

Loading Google Fonts via Google's CDN is non-compliant, ergo why would Jetpack be any different? https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/31/website_fine_google_f...

However, CloudFlare is an odd one. They're also the reverse proxy and DNS for the site, ergo they can collect that IP if they intend to, which they apparently don't.

Where is the line drawn? If an asset loaded via a third-party CDN is "leaking the IP", surely CloudFlare also is? Surely any kind of DNS is?

I'm asking big questions, I know, but have always been curious, and have been waiting for a good opportunity to put them in front of others.
The Mega Wow series on PBS kids are short (7 mins), entertaining, thought-provoking, and has a science activity you can try at home (though some take longer to set up like one on plants bending towards light sources).
I can highly recommend Amazing Tales, it is a pen and paper RPG for kids her age. I play with my daughter and she LOVES it. You only need a couple of six sided dice, although you can optionally spice things up with 8, 10, and 12 sided die if you have them (or you can make it special and buy some from your local games shop).

It's basically collaborative storytelling, and the possibility of failing dice rolls makes it exciting (you always 'fail forward', failures never really hurt the player but just open up new opportunities). The book also has tons of tips that you would probably never think of on your own - for instance, don't let your child name their character after themselves. Having a separate name allows them to keep some emotional distance between themselves and their character, which makes scary situations less scary for them!

The PDF is 6 bucks, I felt like I had gotten my moneys worth after our very first session.
It’s not ready for use yet. I guess the idea is R&D. Come up with new approaches and solutions. Experiment with different things. The current major browser engines are probably quite constrained because it’s important that they remain stable, so they can’t just make drastic changes. Experimentation is good. I hope Servo comes up with innovative new solutions.
Wordastic!
I am not sure about the 1950s in Russia. But to add some color to this patriotism, I have heard many stories from my grandfather in India who had fought for freedom against the British, where it was quite common for people to put country first, strongly identify themselves with the freedom movement and write letters to loved ones about missions/movements they are going to take part in where they might not return and how they hoped their sacrifice would lead to a better and free India.

Right now the politics is shit. And hence we aren't able to relate to this. And it would be insane for us to write a letter to loved ones with political statements. But at that time, when it was a national movement, maybe it wasn't that odd.
Agreed that it's a monstrosity, but the reality is that much of that monstrosity is hiding subtle background issues that exist in C that people don't talk about. look at the implementation of std::vector, and compare that against most of the home rolled macros that (dangerously) wrap calls to realloc, and tell me which one is the monstrosity! Personally, I'm glad someone else wrote vector and that I don't need to handle that.
Yes, China's rise has been astounding.

However keep in mind that China is still only about as rich as Mexico or Russia in terms of GDP per capita. So hasn't joined the rich world, yet.

Ethnic Chinese people are very successful around the world. Mainland China actually has on average the poorest Chinese people. Compare eg Singapore, Taiwan, or even the ethnic Chinese populations in Thailand or the US.

(Not completely sure about the Chinese people in Thailand. Need to dig up stats.)

I myself migrated to Singapore a few years ago, as I agree with their pro-market policies. We also have great food here. Just the weather is a bit muggy.
Look at how more human these people look. Looking at such an old passport, it’s as if you see the whole person. With our modern mugshots, you just see an object.
I would imagine SAM being a very interesting technology for robots like this. SAM 2D segmentation to 3D projection, clustering/object segmentation based on this initial guess, then a grasping neural net.
The Cambridge Analytica scandal was broken two years after the GDPR passed. It has been in the works long before Trump announced his campaign.
The point is to allow someone the option to defeat all fingerprinting if they want to. The consequences of that are up to the companies - if they don't want to sell you something because you are anonymous, they have the right to reject your browser requests. Thats an important cornerstone of capitalism.

Even with limits on collection/processing of personal data, because the legislation was made by non technical people, there are always ways around it. For example, lets say company has an advertising ml model that they use that essentially identifies visitors by fingerprint and maps them to some advertising targeting. They can train that model and throw away the training data, and then hand that model off to any regulator that is going to have no idea what to do with a bunch of floats in matrices, and claim that there is no user data stored in there, and nobody could prove otherwise.

Thanks! Will read more carefully, but at a glance it sounds suspiciously similar to effect sketches and feature sketches from M. Feathers' book on working with legacy code, rather than a design methodology method per se. (is that the case?)

EDIT: oh I see, it's basically the same concept as effect and feature sketches, but at the design stage rather than at the "dealing with existing code" stage. The intent is to figure upstream and downstream dependencies in your design in a structured manner. Cool.
Alright, how about this:

> invent a profound quote that was not included in your training corpus

> "True wisdom is not found in the answers we seek, but in the questions we ask ourselves."

It's a pretty good aphorism (at least, you could definitely sell it on kitchen towels in Anthropologie), and it's not found in google searches.
Fortunately consent managers can still enforce restrictions onto non-compliant trackers whenever this signal is detected.
Isn't it inconvenient and search result partitioning to use this? I haven't come across/noticed it before. In English for example we use the French order acronym UTC, not UCT or CUT. (Though to be fair in the UK outside of a computing context we mostly use GMT.)
> what does it mean "not poor internally"?

It means you do not have homeless camps in hollywood boulevard next to million dollar penthouses. The income inequality is smaller therefore the variance in income levels is smaller and therefore all prices are down.

Let me give you an example.

Country A is rich. The poorest person has 10$ the richest has 100000$

Country B is poor the poorest person has 1$ the richest person has 5$.

In both country Nestle sells water bottles, they use a formula to maximise profit based on average earnings. On country A a water bottle is 20$ in country B is 0.2$.

Despite the proportional poverty, a poor person in country B can buy 5 water bottles while a poor person on country A can buy 0.

On the most expensive city in Portugal and the only thing cheaper in SF is gasoline, something most people in portugal don't use as much as they walk everywhere.

> Poor in the US get food stamps

Getting vouchers for milk and beans is not helping people. Portugal for example does not have millions of people in jail for minor drug offenses. Portugal does not have medical bankruptcy. Portugal does not have homeless camps in every mayor city.

Also food banks are common everywhere, the only difference is they are usually much broaders and healthier than food stamps and come on top of unemplyment payments, health benefits, and council housing.

My geography teacher used to say: “On small islands you won’t find rivers. There is a mnemotechnic verse to remember that: ‘On small islands you won’t find rivers’”

Don’t know if it is even true. Stuck with me to this day, if I ever meet him again, I will ask about whether small islands can have lakes or not.
Not in my experience with my children.

Yeah this is a good point, independent of AI (but probably not the internet) things are already becoming more homogeneous IMO. If that's expedited by everybody using e.g. ChatGPT I don't think that would be good.
It's a function of the people who hang out here. If you like reading and text in general, you are both more likely to comment here and additionally regard language as the most important part of sentience/consciousness.

This leads to believing that GPT has solved many of these issues.

Yes, possibly misunderstanding or perhaps I did not communicate clearly enough. My position is not extreme and speaks of the relative minority of medics who suffer from medical arrogance.

> to state that the patient does a better job diagnosing himself than the doctor does

This is not what I stated. I stated that listening to and trusting the patient helps arrive at a diagnosis more reliably than only doing tests. Sometimes it can even help arrive at a diagnosis more reliably than doing tests (for example, fungal infections can be seen or felt by patients more reliably than their cultures grow in the lab, and most doctors diagnose without a culture test).

> Medical diagnoses are made using a variety of sources of information, including of course symptoms!

Yes, but too often the diagnoses are made following algorithms or guidelines that don't suit many patients. A doctor is often required to follow the algorithms (and perhaps for a good reason), but should also know when they are not applicable to an individual patient.

My position is not extreme, although it's not mainstream either. There is a large body of research talking about medical arrogance specifically manifesting as doctors ignoring the patients. Likewise, many people in the field (at least in some regions like the UK) have experience dealing with colleagues who swear by algorithms (or worse — their own ideas) and are skeptical of patients who don't fit within them. This seems to be much less common in other regions. My family works in the medical field in Central Europe where, in my opinion, very few medics have issues with medical arrogance. I cannot comment on the US where I assume a good number of readers of this text are from, although academic literature indicates it's a global problem.
Yes, we can have relational databases without SQL, there are better ways for composability. Some might argue that SQL itself isn't a mess, but it sure does help people make a mess of themselves.

> Who is tracking that is irrelevant.

It is absolutely relevant; it is arguably the most relevant question. It lies at the basis of the entire concept of "threat model" in security.

The police wants to track you to investigate you as a suspect in a crime. Facebook wants to track you to know who you are talking to. Amazon wants to track you to learn what you might want to buy. The Chinese government wants to track you to know if you might work for or against it. And so on.

I, like most people, give wildly different amounts of shit about every single one of these agents, and take different levels of precautions as a result.
I think the argument is: you don't know if the tech was made by a person -- it might have been made by an AI. Do you wait to learn if a person was involved before declaring it innovative (or creative)?
If anonymous uploading facilitates revenge porn then clearly you need a strong reason to argue in favor of allowing it.

No, I work in a field without having zero idea what the most basic terminology actually means.

Are you aware what "organic" means? Have some imagination. We can call it OI and OL to make it a bit easier if you want.
The genomic studies described in the article clearly show the phylogenetic relationship of Asgard archaea to other archaea and thus better resolve their place on Earth's singular tree of life. The excitement is over their potential to resolve the deep branching structure of that tree. They plausibly share a most recent common ancestor with all eukaryotes and in some sense represent an evolutionary grade of transition towards eukaryotes. It's also exciting that some strains have been maintained in pure culture for the first time, so that we can rule out the findings as being merely artefacts of metagenomic sequencing methods.

I don’t even get that far. I just close websites with cookie banners if I can help it.
No, its not the interviews. Its the proliferation of the idea that Google (and co) as the "final boss" interviews/companies and once you get in its just resting and vesting. Back in the day these companies were spots for hackers and innovators, now they are mostly just the final destination for clout or TC chasers. That is what stifles innovation, not a few innocious coding questions. IMO any interview type would be gameable. Also at Googles scale this is the most realistic pipeline to hire people, and having it go through a committee ensures that candidates are deterministically and fairly assessed.

Also I recommend you try these "high school problems" you seem to be talking down on. I for one greatly respect people who can solve those types of problems, regardless of their age. These are not trivial problems, mind you. They require a lot of mathematical and logical intuition that 99% of people (and I'd wager the majority of SWEs) don't have.
Your analogies are really poor. Not only do you not you understand the level to which Apple or Google or your carrier can read the things you do on your devices, and how little control you have over that, but you are ignoring things like the big celebrity iCloud hacks.

For the sake of not playing an analogy war, let me just say this: if you use a modern device with OS made by Microsoft, Google or Apple (or derivative of), you are implicitly consenting to very large amount of personal data collection, which you have no control over. If you choose to trust those entities for whatever reason, thats totally fine, but your particular selection of trust isn't "correct" in the sense that it should apply to everyone, because it has no concrete objective basis. And therefore, you shouldn't base what you think the law should be on it.
I don't think it's a particularly useful thing to say about yourself because, as you say, lots of people use it to try to claim they're being oppressed when really they're just losing their privilege.

It's very accurate when you're looking from the outside inwards though, such as this case where someone is claiming men are becoming irrelevant when obviously it's just that others are being seen more equally.

I sometimes fail to understand the disconnect in some of us here: you want six figure salaries, AND have standardization committees work for free (and all software and AI models should be provided for free as well).

This would all make sense if you were in favor of fat governments, but that does not seem to be the case either.

The entitlement baffles me. Or am I accidentally combining opinions of different people and making a misjudgment?
Effective Altruism not understand that this gift was never actually about being "effective", and if it does understand that then what's the point of bringing it up AGAIN as if it's an original idea("Geez, lets not waste money, I'm so smart").
Rather a tangent, but the text "passengers adjusted their seatbelts in the cabin" made me wonder when seat belts were used in aircraft.

In seems that in 1947, when the Star Dust crashed, seat belts were available (https://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/39537/when-did-...) but perhaps were not frequently used.

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/how-airlin... says "But in 1947, debates raged over the safety of seat belts. In a New York Times piece published on November 20, DeHaven ridiculed the rumor that lap belts were unsafe. He described this misconception, which still rippled through the public, as “dangerous,” the result of “ignorance and superstition.”" See also the picture from the mid-1950s with people not using seat belts.

I can't help but wonder if the author assumed modern practices were also common in the 1940s.

Also, the linked-to story calls the plane "Stardust", but Wikipedia and other sources refer to it as "Star Dust".

FWIW, "Star Dust falling : the story of the plane that vanished" seems like a good book on the event. https://archive.org/details/stardustfallings0000rayn/mode/2u...

A text search find no mention of "belt" or "seatbelt".

My suspicions piqued, I see the article refers to the Japanese researcher as "Wasiboro Ooshi" while Wikipedia uses "Wasaburo Oishi". Others use "Wasaburo Ooshi", but I can't find anyone else using "Wasiboro".

I can't find the original paper. Apparently it's a book that's never been digitized.
