It’s not a tax, it’s optional. It’s a subscription pretending to be a tax with a fake organization as it’s enforcement arm.

I think you are oversimplifying the current issues with self-driving car and a bit too optimistic on industry's capacity to build reliable software for a self-driving car.
> but the regulation did require popups

Yeah I guess the word "require" has a few interpretations. The regulation didn't explicitly require popups, it required user consent IFF a company wants to collect/process/sell data the company doesn't need, but the intent was that companies would not do this, with consent being the exception, and the mechanism of consent was neither prescribed nor a focus: it certainly wasn't annoying popups per reg.

I think most would agree that more is better than fewer caretakers. This works well when families are located close geographically, but not so much when spread out.

I was new to it though, and an admin picked on me because I was parodying another subreddit (my home city subreddit). You've been modding for a decade, great. That basically backs up my original point that it's a party of tenure and closed-mindedness (cronyism). My situation was different, and it's pointless to argue, but if you trust any company (especially in a changing economic environment), keep your eyes open for poorly motivated incentives.

Regardless, the attitude that they're "god" is a weird way to put it. They randomly IP banned me for calling out an admin's publicity issue during an April fools event. That's cronyism. I've used Reddit for 12 years and engaged in conversations in good faith for years. Paid for subscriptions most of that time. All relationships, business or otherwise should be mutual in some form.

If you buy your own servers, you can mix and match CPUs and storage, and you can get a lot of NVMe storage capacity and bandwidth, and cloud providers don’t seem to have comparable products.

From my experience simple systems perform better on average due to less number of interconnected gears.

Much more complex systems do not perform as consistently as simple ones, and they are exponentially harder to debug, introspect and optimize at the end of the day.
I think you'll be disappointed by the kernel support, especially if you want to run docker containers or anything like that.
Likely because that generation was raised to believe everything they were told, starting from an early age with school, religion, then with television and newspapers, etc.

The younger generation were raised with media that spread obvious untruths such as conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, etc. and they learned to think more critically about what they are reading.
Fusion is not close[1] and it's insane to give up on fission while waiting for it. Fission is safe and inexpensive. With the addition of batteries to spread out the base load, we should be expanding it globally.

If you ask 10 different people why they are depressed, you'll get 10 different answers. This illustrated why I think the scientific method is the wrong way to go about understanding the human mind.

Also, if you ask a depressed person why they are depressed, they may not know exactly why they are depressed. I spent my entire high school years depressed. It wasn't until a few years after I graduated college before I realized the reason why I was depressed: it was because I had abusive parents. If you had asked me in high school why I'm depressed I would have said something like "I'm a bad person but I have no reason why". At the time I thought my parents treated me like I was a bad person was secondary to the actual problem.

If you really want insight on what makes the human mind depressed, then ask people who have overcame their depression. The first step to overcoming depression is to discover what is making you depressed. If someone is still depressed, they probably don't know what is making them depressed, and so their "data" is just noise.

The problem with the psychology field is that it has an obsession with "data". Everything has to be on a pie chart of a line graph or something like that. Every "study" has to be on a grand scale and then averaged together to make a single conclusion.

The problem is that the human mind of not replicatable. You can perform a "study" on a sample of people and get a result, and then replicate that exact same study on the exact same sample of people at a later time, and still get a different result. In order for the scientific method to be applicable, you have to be able to get the exact same result each time you replicate the study. This is not possible in psychology.
When asking ChatGPT about programming questions, it feels pretty similar to asking questions on stack overflow, except you get answers instantly. I assume that Q&A sites must be among the most important training data.
Exactly. So much that often with a tricky problem or discussion, I ask the person to sit down with me and just code the most relevant parts without implementation, just the type signatures.

That is so much more productive because it immediately removes or highlights all the ambiguity which you can sugar coat with English but not in a programming language.
Ah, but Python has always had types. Just not static types. It still does not really have static types. Static type validation is done by external tools like MyPy. Python itself ignores type declarations at runtime. Still objects of Python have types. You just cannot reason about them at compile time using only pure Python.
It's like a societal autoimmune disease - when there's not a real, immediate event to react to, something has to be found to fill the airtime that is compelling enough to keep people watching and reacting, and social media has the added "benefit" of finding that filler algorithmically.

Actually in the part of Germany next to the Dutch border, "lecker" already starts being used that way. For example, someone from Cologne might call a nice girl/woman a "lecker Mäd(s)che" (https://verliebtinkoeln-com.translate.goog/die-bedeutung-von...).
Searching a phone is not fundamentally different to searching a home or searching a diary. The key difference is that encryption makes it impossible for the police to force their way in (as they would with a physical lock). We can then choose to either make it illegal not to let the police in, or give basically anybody a ‘one weird trick’ to prevent their phone or computer being searched.

Oh interesting, yeah at least the dictionary seems to hit all the keywords except friendly, hitting social instead which might or might not be accurate. "Living-together-ness" would be the literal translation, which is a bit weird but if that's how it's used then at least in use it might be a lot closer than companionable.
Just saying, if ChatGPT says it knows something it doesn't necessarily mean it knows something, or that said thing is even real.

It's a crying shame because we are stuck with the primitive expressiveness of 3rd generation, and are unlikely to break free any time soon if ever. We'd rather get some LLM to generate the reams of boiler plate required to do anything significant.

6 months is hyperbole.

My coworker fell in Costa Rica, hurt her knee and came back and had an MRI the same week. I saw my doctor in mid-March and she ordered an MRI on my neck, it's scheduled for next week. Do some people wait 6 months... yes, those that can wait 6 months are asked to wait 6 months. Those that need it quickly, get it quickly. It's the triage method.

I also had the option to book a private MRI and get it next day. It would have been $650CAD or $483USD. I happen to be in LA when my issue came up and I looked at private MRI. It was way more expensive than the Canadian alternative (however, it could have been LA/Hollywood pricing).

I am building a new database (I was one of the creators of CouchDB / PouchDB) and wanted an example app that more fun than just database crud operations. Fireproof is designed to be the easiest way to add dynamic data to any app or page. It uses IPFS multiformat blocks for content addressing (and high-performance traditional infra like Cloudflare and WebRTC). What sets it apart from other browser-based database is that all the operations are cryptographically verifiable as Merkle proofs.

I'm saying that social media didn't cause the fears, but that social media ended the millenia of social pressure to just accept everything the way it is.

Cities once did the same, by increasing the population density you could hang out with people that had the same thoughts you did. But many countries successfully ended that through suburbanisation, isolating people once again.
Climate change has to be technologically solved! (Or it won’t)

- The coming massive Electrification of Industries needs technological solutions, from batteries to hydrogen infrastructure and new industrial processes
- We need carbon capture, because not every CO2 is done by burning fossil fuels. For example concrete is a massive CO2 emitter which is not talked enough about it (aside from Bill Gates)
- Public transport surely can help and should be fixed in the US, but it won’t save us. That is like a wishful thinking antisolution. Because billions of people in Africa, in India and Asia want mobility and will use an individual vehicle for that. Technology has to provide that.

We shouldn’t bank on “silver bullets” like Fusion, but we do have silver bullets like Solar and Battery tech and Electrification.

The intersection of people who can host it themselves vs those who host chats, video conferences, etc events is very very small. Once they start trying to figure out the SSH host keys and TLS firewalls, they will become very quickly overwhelmed and out of their depth. They would likely turn to an expert at this point, but it has become far cheaper and easier to just turn to a third-party service to handle this. The very service you ask them to dismiss for the troubles of hosting themselves.

On the other end of the spectrum, I have dedicated systems to hosting my own chats, emails, source code, and more. My user count is super low. Seems that not everyone wants to come to my copy-cat Gitea server when "all the cool kids" are on GitHub

> “So why isn’t it engineering? Well, is asking a question “engineering”? Excuse me for being pedantic but from what I’ve learned it’s part of the field of “philosophy”. There is no engineering involved. And even if there is “skill” required to formulate a well-structured question for the LLM, that is not an engineering pursuit.”

Not a convincing argument when we’re talking about software.

Is designing a data structure engineering or philosophy? Go back 200 years and ask scholars whether determining the abstract properties of a non-physical object is engineering. They’d say “no” and point you towards Kant. Yet today that kind of thought process underlies engineered things that we call names like “infrastructure” and “products” even though they don’t fit the definition those words had as recently as 60 years ago.

All appointments are triaged. Some people get them 2 minutes after seeing a doctor, some people wait 6 months. It all depends on need. Source - work in a hospital, have an MRI scheduled next week.

FTA:

> Unfortunately, some of the open technologies for building more local-first, p2p applications just aren’t there yet. Like Peter’s point on webRTC.

I guffawed at this. I mean, seriously. In the days before the internet was widespread, like mid-90s, there were actually multi-player games that worked over LANs, both IP and IPX. Somehow, people were able to configure multiple computers to talk to each other with this funny numbers called "addresses" or something. DNS existed of course, but you could also add to /etc/hosts, Novell had a thing, everyone had a thing.

The problem is that somewhere around the mid 2000s or early 2010s we forgot that anything networking-related could be based around non-web protocols and stacks. What a disservice we've done ourselves.

Not that I'm advocating people type in IP addresses or have to set up their own DNS servers or admin their own LANs, but wow, it's like part of our collective brains is just missing.
Fun fact: the building's architect was Kurt Vonnegut, Sr., the father of the famous author. Indiana Bell wanted the building demolished to make room for a larger HQ building, but Vonnegut's idea was to move the building out of the way instead [0].

"Between Oct. 12 and Nov. 14 1930 the eight-story 11,000-ton Indiana Bell building was shifted 52 feet south along Meridian St. and rotated 90 degrees to face New York St. Workmen used a concrete mat cushioned by Oregon fir timbers 75-ton, hydraulic jacks and rollers, as the mass moved off one roller workers placed another ahead of it. Every six strokes of the jacks would shift the building three-eights of an inch - moving it 15 inches per hour."

"Gas, electric heat, water and sewage were were maintained to the building all during the move. The 600 workers entered and left the traveling structure using a sheltered passageway that moved with the building. The employees never felt the building move and telephone service went on without interruption. And yes, the move took less than 30 days. It remains one of the largest buildings ever moved. The building was demolished in 1963."

As a group, programmers do seem quite attached to monospaced fonts. For my IDE I have actually gone (I think) even further than you: I use a proportional (serif even!) font for all my programming, not just prose writing. It took a bit of getting used to, but now I've come to much prefer it over monospaced fonts.
Customizability is Emacs' selling point. A higher level of extensibility necessary means a higher learning curve. I'd call it a learning curve rather than "barrier": it's certainly not difficult to make Emacs look good. Most people don't care how Emacs behaves OOTB because they want to customize every aspect of it. You might say it should look or behave better by default, but I'd rather the base stay consistent and simple (it fits the use case better). There are plenty of starter kits/distros that look good OOTB for people who want a better default experience.
