Go to pretty much any advice or relationship sub in reddit and you'll find comments giving advice in that vein. Progressive/woke types in tumblr and tiktok are like that too. Generally speaking, online culture is very anti-family, normalizes labeling your family members as toxic etc for minor reasons, normalizes cutting contact, and generally have lower morals compared to people in real life. Hell, the biggest influence in internet zoomer lingo is fucking 4chan. Huge mistake to let kids be exposed to this sort of culture.
I have two problems with this narrative, roughly summed up as:

1. No, culture is _gone_. When you transform people into individual economic entities each responding to the market conditions in what approximates the most efficient manner possible and when your societies denigrate, minimize and underfund institutions meant for collective good, then there really isn't any material reason for people to form a "culture," if you understand culture to be a mutually supporting social fabric meant to improve some idea of public good. Margaret Thatcher literally loved to say "There is no society!" and this is basically the idea that the modern anglosphere has built the last 3-4 decades on.

2. There is a ton of cultural innovation out there. Untold richness. What is missing is the funnel which used to select out elements of cultural innovation and elevate them to "mass culture." In our current world, where you can search out exactly what you want, the power of "global tastemakers" like record company scouts and media critics and movie producers and so on is, in most respects, muted. The market forces these institutions and players to play to the absolute lowest common denominator to maximize market reach. In the past the music market, for instance, was pretty inefficient, and what was cool was at least strongly modulated "top down." But all that is done. If you want cultural novelty, its everywhere you could choose to look. But don't expect much of it to become truly popular. The economics of media has shifted away from that model.

The author is entirely incorrect that you won’t be able to differentiate fashion from today and 2007.

He’s just not very discerning of clothes. And he doesn’t have the benefit of looking at only archival photos that capture the purest expression of cultural moments.
The acceleration macOS has for boring old mice with boring old scroll wheels is atrocious. The first movement of the wheel barely scrolls things, and makes precise scrolling harder. I prefer the Windows behaviour of constant but usually larger (and configurable) distances.
Multiple States have already passed laws requiring everyone to upload their government papers (drivers license or passport, etc) to use social media. Things seem to be changing, that's for sure -- and fast.
I think this misses this biggest cultural revolution to happen in decades, which is AI assisted art and creativity.

It’s been ages since I saw a new paradigm in art that really caught my attention. It seems like elite artists have not had much to say for a few decades aside from navel gazing. Suddenly we have these machines that can produce high quality finished pieces out of our vague whims. With it has come an outpouring of the bizarre and humorous, a total democratization where ideas are no longer limited by execution.

Culture is only stuck if you look at the most globalized corporate universal customer version of it. Underneath that we have the revolution of the individual and the niche where anyone can access an audience.

It's interesting to see this in play at different companies. Some of it is "real"...that is those requirements really do apply. In many places, though, it's just inertia. Like, back when the companies had SunOS or HPUX, they made internal standards about regulations, or support contracts, etc, to match. Then when Linux came around, RedHat fit their view of the world well.

It's also interesting to see what happens there in some places over time. The older group that manages on-prem is able to hold the "RedHat only" line. But, other groups decide what goes on it, so everything running there is running in non-Redhat containers or nested VMs. It turns into a bulky, extra hypervisor-like layer.

That could be how culture breaks out of the corporate monocultures where Disney+, ClearChannel, etc own everything. See the AI’s could generate new “Beatles” songs which sound authentic but aren’t. This could lead to an era of high grade “fan fiction “ essentially.

However I’d guess the corporations would push really hard to own anything that “sounds like” the Beatles to prevent that.
> Does deleting stuff from the memory count as destroying evidence?

Maybe? The line is more blurry here, but there are probably cases where it's more or less easy to make the distinction.

If data is recorded on a permanent medium, it can be arbitrarily retrieved, an explicit delete operation is needed to get rid of it, and this deletion can be scheduled to happen at an arbitrary time - that might easily be understood as "destroying evidence".

If you want asynchronous communication, you will need to produce records of some kind, which can be evidence. That's nothing new.

Maybe if you have a system where the information must be exchanged live and falls off a cliff immediately no matter if it was observed or not, say, like a video conferencing tool - I wonder how the courts see that. It gets much closer to an interesting edge case than something with a 24-hour retention policy.
You can also find the exercises in Github looking for 42 piscine, lots of students upload them in different formats etc.
Hahahaha oh well, the never ending cycle. But love the fact that it's a physical and not software product.
You should be a bit wary of reading oral arguments as definitive, because the judges have a history of applying the more aggressive questioning to the side they ultimately agree with, just to make sure it's solid.
Maybe you’re in a more remote area? The eggs I buy usually have at least 3 weeks before their BB date. Sometimes they’re only 2-3 days old if I’m lucky. I usually try to buy the freshest eggs I can find as they poach better.

Not really. It doesn't kerosene isn't taxed like other fuels in many places. The pollution isn't cleaned up. Ticket prices are ridiculously low and have been widely advertised to encourage people to fly more.
I would note to aborsy comment 'VPN server on a cloud instance, versus running a DERP/relay' that if the overlay is architected 'correctly' then it uses mTLS connections between each hope while having E2E encryption between source and destination for the overlay. Net result is you do not have to trust the node as its never decrypting data while the edge runs in your own environment. Further, you cannot just impersonate a node.

You do have to trust the control/coordination server, though you could also run this in confidential compute.

"Cluster density, cluster location, eagerness to connect, distribution of cell types, etc. are all coded in DNA and contribute to creating "initial weights""

I feel like you are answering your own question though... while a VPN hub and spoke can be faster than standard internet (by having peering relationships which are better than the users local telco - i.e., effectively circumvent and improve their standard BGP), you can do this on steroids with a mesh VPN by being able to deploy the relays into many diverse locations so that any user anywhere gets these benefits, even if they change location and access different resources.

Pathetic, not a single mention of how this premature phasing out of nuclear power has increased use of coal power in Germany, resulting in higher carbon emissions.

Greenpeace is a disgrace. It's well known that Russia has supported various anti-nuclear environmental movements in Europe to keep countries dependent on their gas supply.

with generous payments for their families before being rendered down and recombined with other
chemicals into a range of substitutes for common foodstuffs, including hash browns (Grandmash™),
bananas (Nanas™) and butter (Fauxghee™).

So one meaning is Faux Ghee (faux as in fake, Ghee as in a type of clarified butter, originating from South Asia) which follows the naming conventions of real substitute foods like Faux Turkey.

And the second meaning is "Fogey" as in an old person.
Or more likely, spy on its citizens and find a loop hole to get privacy for themselves.
This is one of those examples of modern madness at a grand scale. We are in a general energy crisis and we can see in the graph that the regulators are still committed to making nuclear unaffordable.

I'm just going to preempt the argument because it is very normal. Nuclear isn't getting more expensive [0] because we've discovered the first technology that gets harder to work with as time goes one. That is all regulation. The LCOE is working to double in a decade and that is an external influence on the nuclear industry.

The author’s culture may be stuck, but that’s a them problem, not an algorithm or consolidation problem. You can get to more culture than ever, but if you’re content with previous cultural content, they will happily keep selling it to you.

Algorithmic discovery requires you to do a little more work since there isn’t a single 18-64 demographic that’s the primary marketing demographic. Now it’s 24-27 year old woman with adhd and loves a list of 20 different things that gets targeting for advertising. The algorithms will give you what you ask for, so ask for different stuff.
Bodily autonomy is a contradiction to abortion rights. Control over one's body logically implies not allowing a second body formation. The autonomy of the child overrides access to abortion since now in pregnancy, there are 2 bodies.

Similarly, access to expensive and elective medical services is a privilege, not a right.

If anyone expresses "harsh, negative opinions among people you don't know", the dumbness does not lie on whether they swear or not while conveying these opinions.

On the subject of Ukraine and Russia this hasn't happened yet. Yandex, their Open Source and Clickhouse so far have relatively little of this issue. ( Not saying there aren't, but mostly below a 5% threshold )

Not the same could be said on other subject matters though, especially those that involves American politics and Culture War. Political sensitivity on HN went through the root in the past 6-7 years. Although things has die down a lot in the past 6 - 8 months. But I am not surprised OP decided to play it safe.
This parody is a brilliant take-down of the so-called FAT framework for making sure algorithms, including those powered by AI, are ethical. ("FAT" stands for making algorithms Fair, Accountable, and Transparent.) The authors show how FAT and other similar frameworks would fail to prevent the proposed launch of a new automated service for manufacturing different varieties of high-nutrient slurries:

Aside from the Cowboy Bebop nostalgia hit, this site is a great example of how clear, creative, and fun sites were in the late 1990s. While I struggle to identify the many reasons why I think sites looked better back then, I think being simple and content focused are two of them.
Significant obstacles like:

- Batteries don't work at the scale of a grid. There are a few 'natural' batteries, like the water level of a hydro dam, but none for renewables.

- Sometimes it's cloudy

- Sometimes there's no wind

- The renewable grid isn't, you know, BUILT yet.

So, despite handwaving these issues away, the "baseload" capacity remains a problem which has to be addressed by something with storable energy - eg. nuclear, hydro or coal.
Are you serious? I really can't tell.
A beautiful site. It looks itself like a comic/anime.
Whats the difference between the current “AI” hype and a religion?
The culture is here, it's just not evenly distributed.

My own view as a writer and artist, is that there's a relatively consistent amount of creative innovation being done at any given time. It's access to it and promotion of it that varies.

Whats happened since the 90s is that rents have consistently risen - meaning physical scenes are enormously less likely to emerge, and (as the author rightly points out) algorithmic recommendations have both isolate people in their own bubbles of past preference and privileged big content. Big content has been selling the transmedia vision of wholly owned and diversified 'media properties' pretty consistently since then.

However - artists gonna art. Brilliant writing is out there, unpublished by the narrow coterie of MFA grad, politically unipolar editors running grant funded publications. Brilliant filmmaking is out there - and actually experiencing a renaissance thanks to cheap tools; but getting a mid budget opportunity, the pathway from zero / microbudget to mainstream director is now close to impossible. Incredible new music is out there, but spotify doesn't pay, and a social media audience is by definition drawn to repetitious, unchallenging, immediately accessible soothing or shocking material.

It's not the culture thats stuck, it's the media.

Also enormously relevant to all this is the spaces artists can display their work, and engage with one another. In Dublin in the early 2010s this played out rapidly. After the financial crisis there was a period of about four years where rents dropped precipitously. The explosion of art shows, participatory art spaces and public creativity was extraordinary. A city of 500k people had more than 40 open active public art spaces. It's all since disappeared - but the artists, performers and organisers who made it happen were alive before and lived on after. They just don't have the affordances necessary to create / promote that kind of work. Namely physical public facing spaces located in the city.

I have a few smart TVs. I use them as monitors and do not give them access to my networks. Aside from some “magic” SSID that provokes an automatic covert connection by my device from a wardriving van/drone, I don’t understand what the other security risks could be?

It sucks that you can’t just turn that connectivity off with a physical switch, but it’s hard to see this as a deal breaker. If I get really paranoid I’ll just solder a 50 ohm resistor from the wifi antenna lead (on the motherboard)to ground.

Is there some reason that people are compelled to connect their smart tvs to their networks?

I wholeheartedly agree. This blend of criticism consists of blanket dismissals of all things staded and even the acknowledging that the person is worthy of consideration or engagement, regardless of what they say or do.

The accuser feels the need to demean others, and for lack of any reason this is what they grab hold onto.
