Don't you have to be sufficiently active or prominent on the social media to be attacked?

(Yes, I remember the example of some hapless lady who tweeted "hope I won't get aids" before departing to Africa. I don't know how active she had been on twitter, or how typical the subsequent annihilation of her is.)

> That's like saying there's nothing wrong with giving thalidomide to pregnant women, because pregnant women have always taken herbal supplements.

Your analogy is better than you think, because in fact there isn't anything wrong with giving pregnant women thalidomide at all!

You just have to not do it within a very carefully defined range of time within pregnancy, but before and after that it's as safe as milk.

Turns out, the same process that makes thalidomide horribly teratogenic also makes it an absolutely first-rate cancer drug with few side-effects even in pregnancy.
> is determining the details of what should be allowed

As far as I understand all Haidt calls for is to remove the boundaries that have been established over the past couple of decades, or what selectivity are you hinting at here that are part of that supposed plan to shape society?
Mandarin has a word for that as well, I've forgotten it.
Defence in depth helps make the situation less catastrophic. Right now, with just an iPhone passcode, you can take complete control of the Apple ID [including wiping the user’s other devices], any apps protected by Face ID (even those with 2FA if it’s SMS-based), private photos, notes, passwords, the works.

Those consequences are design choices - convenience over security. There could be features (tighter Face ID, multiple passcodes, etc) that reduce the blast radius of a leaked iPhone passcode. But Apple hasn’t implemented them. It hasn’t given users the tools to protect themselves, if they value that more than convenience.
When you put this in context with the increased usage of coal power plants and even something like the E-Fuels Germany is pushing on Europe, Germany really does seem like a very peculiar country in multiple aspects.
A street mugger don't have the same motivation and means as a government agency. He just want to make some quick and easy buck. He can hit me with the wrench as much as he want, if I don't have the recovery code memorized because it's stored safely in my computer at home, he won't get it. He can point a gun at me and demand that we go home to get the code, but that's a different crime, harder and riskier. Most criminals aren't willing to go to that route. The only thing he can get is the 6 digit code that I have memorized because I use it everyday to unlock the phone. That's why this code should have limited capabilities.
> (often) ads

This is a much bigger problem than people realize. Instead of working on improving user experience, we've got people explicitly working against user experience by injecting ads into it, for the simple reason that they have your attention and can then sell it. It's the attention economy, and it sucks. Fuck ads.
I grew up in the 1980s. Everyone sat and read a newspaper or a book on the bus or the train back then.
I’d frankly be happy with more apps just being offline tolerant.

Surely google maps knows I live in NYC by now but if I’m between stations on the subway the odds of me being able to pan around at various zoom levels is surprisingly low. Surely basic semi-static highway and geographic information could be locally stored (this basic information used to fit in a spiral bound book we’d keep in the back seats of our cars).

iMessage just gives up if a message can’t go out rather than queuing it.

Heck most weather apps won’t even show me the previously downloaded forecast if there’s no network, they just show “-“ or a sad cloud image.
i had that experience last night too. I figured it was just me. Apparently it was very widespread?
But why not keep a perfectly good source of energy active until fission and green make up the difference? Makes no sense.
Yes. You might need a dhcpd on a laptop though, if your city's IP management is outside the said city (Cable/DSL modems needs their own IPs, unless they are static).

...and possibly a small DNS server (or a hosts file somewhere easy to get).

That's all you need.

If you want to navigate via IPs only, you can do with a DHCPd.
You have put your finger on the crucial question: whether AI research has killed everyone in the past. How overcareful would a person have to be to worry about its happening in the future if it's never happened in the past?

And in order to compete with the other channels, news started becoming more and more sensationalist. Those channels contributed to the moral panics behind "Stranger Danger" and "Satanic Ritual Abuse", which resulted in parents becoming overprotective towards their children, stunting their development. When these children grew up into adults, they carried this "safetyist" worldview with them, where freedom is traded for security. And we know from history where that path leads to in the end, if it's not stopped somehow.
Diagrams are just visible enough that I can tell that they're present but I cannot otherwise see them. I suppose that's because I'm using a dark theme on Firefox.

Not that it matters. There's enough text to figure out what's going on in the first place and it would not help me much in any case.

I have a file server running of an ancient server motherboard from another age. (Supermicro X8SIL w/X3460 and 16GB ECC RAM) It uses just about 95W idle and bumps to about 150W when the drives (5 HDDs) are being scrubbed. I tried suspending the server and power dropped to about 75W - not a huge saving.

Another concern is drive longevity. Starting and stopping repeatedly during the day is a lot harder on them than running continuously and could lead to premature drive failure. I could explore this if my server were SSD based but it is not.
Sure. And I think it's based on a bunch of factors coming together, voice being one of them. I don't know how it works if you have sight left, but I can't imagine that attraction is the same for everyone there as well. It's probably a lot more nuanced than that.
> I enjoy using Android Auto in my '22 Civic, but I also know that the only reason Honda supports it is because they just haven't built out their replacement tech yet. They will (or license what GM is building).

If GM will even let Honda buy it, at any price. I am sure they live in hope.

Every Japanese carmaker just enviously dreams of getting a piece of that hot, hot technology that floods constantly out of Detroit nowadays. If a Japanese carmaker wants its products to be seen by customers as worthwhile it will get as involved with GM as it possibly can and make sure everybody knows it, and this is a line of reason that doesn't seem like something cooked up by someone who recently suffered a head injury...
Thank you again. I will give that a try!
French publisher's arrest in London on terrorism charge sparks concern
With Llava which was posted here like yesterday, I took screenshots of video games, which I like to play. The descriptions weren't perfect, but they were really nice to have! I had a picture in my camera roll of my sister and I in the park, having our picture taken by my mother. I remember that day. And that's kinda what pictures are for! I guess. I've been blind since birth so I've not been able to really have this kind of thing before. Apple built something basic into VoiceOver a few years ago, but it's nothing like this. VoiceOver's recognition is like "Two people at a park posing for a photo." Llava is like "In the image, a man and a woman pose together for a picture outside. The woman stands to the left of the man as they both strike a pose. They appear to be in a field with plants behind them. The man is wearing a black shirt, and both of them seem to be enjoying the moment.". That's about on the level of a demo Facebook did a good 5 years ago of their stupid image description thing. I mean even if it's not perfect, it's better than what we've had before. MiniGPT said it was two people in a barn. This gets even closer. GPT4's image descriptions will probably be even better! I can't wait to try those!
They also pay taxes for schools etc. - we're talking about society-wide outcomes. Personally I have no intention of reproducing and even think that a managed but very significant reduction in population would alleviate a lot of issues, but this doesn't mean that I want existing children to be mistreated.

Thank you for your comment. tftarget is a simple wrapper for the terraform command. It parses the output of the terraform plan and displays it as options. After that, it simply generates the terraform target command.
>Also, actually doing something about it takes effort/investment from everyone, not just government and corporations.

This is pretty much the standard line corporations throw out to try and shirk responsibility. This is why they've always been so keen on recycling relative to other, more effective methods, for instance.

The implicit message is that rather than the company being forced to change by fiat, "people" just need to take more personal responsibility.

The latter is a pipe dream and the former (e.g. carbon taxes) is the only way of dealing with climate change but they don't care, of course - their profits are at stake.

Hence they always prescribe more personal responsibility.
There's Bravia Core for Sony titles (on Sony TV sets). That's very high bit rate, not far off UHD Blu-ray.
As a sociologist by education I find such sweeping theories useless. Human and social history is incredibly complex with hundreds of factors and a good deal of pure randomness involved. Grand theories aiming to reduce this complexity to a single factor are either plain wrong or so vague that they can’t be proven wrong, which limits their usefulness as tools of thought. You’ll have the same issue with historical Marxism as well as with pop science like your man Harari.
Answering as a severly sight impaired but not fully blind person. But yes - of course! I'd throw it back at you - do you experience sexual attraction purely by looks alone? I seriously doubt it (and would be concerned if you did!). How a person sounds, smells, feels, behaves etc. all come into it. If your partner playfully blindfolds you, you wouldn't suddenly stop enjoying the experience.
Yep, can't wait to try that!
> Disable IPv6: this approach relies on ARP, which IPv6 doesn't use

I wish more people would care about IPv6.
I wonder how many sleep/wake cycles would it take a day to outweigh the TCO decrease of the power bill with the TCO increase of the increased stress/amortization of the hardware, especially HDDs.
Not a native German speaker, but for me the word "gemutlich" came to mind as their equivalent, at least from what I understood from the article.
Philosophy is not a bucket where "soft" or "unskilled" knowledge work goes either. The author is doing themselves a serious disservice in not really explaining what about prompt engineering makes it not "engineering" and what about philosophy matches it better-- and I say this as someone who is on the caboose of the AI hype train.
This is my experience too. I've been using Classic Shell and then Open-Shell on Win10 at work for years. I was using Classic Shell on Windows 7 before that.

It seems to just work for me. I've had no problems.

I have a little nuc-style Windows 11 box for my TV, and I'd say we're in the typical "wait to update" period with Windows 11.

Microsoft always introduces unwanted changes (Vista bling and lag, the entire Windows 8 desktop, the dumbed-down Windows 11 start menu), and then reworks the system to produce a compromise that institutions, businesses and conservative users can tolerate. Just the other day, I noticed the return of task manager access from the taskbar.

By the time I adopt Windows 11 for work, I suspect that the worst design changes should be fixed and the third-party add-ons should work perfectly. That's been my experience in the past.
Hobbyist licence is limited to 6 cores BUT it will see them all just fine. I assigned 16GB of ECC RAM and 8 cores. Fun times watching it fly.

I don't think that contradicts my understanding of "take off".
Never say never. Just because we have to put more effort into life support doesn't mean we have to forego our fleshy meatbags entirely to thrive.
Cognate Linkage
As another data point: meal/flour is "Mehl" in German. Mehl/meal is milled in a Mühle/mill.
Minikanren allows you to program in relations. That is, not only unidirectional functions, X->Y, but you can leave out the X and give the Y, getting all X, which would result in that Y. I always found that talk at RacketCon impressive [1].

I mean, of course, minikanren is also implemented somehow, using lambda, but usually one would not want to rebuild the things minikanren offers.

I have not yet tried to use minikanren inside an otherwise "normal" program, but I suspect it will just work.

> If someone has your iPhone AND you are stupid enough to set a guessable password,

Ever hear of telephoto lenses? Ever hear of coercion (and, yes, it IS possible to guard against coercion, for example by introducing delays or requiring a third party to be involved in some actions)? Ever hear of good old fashioned sneakiness? ANY password that's used on a regular basis is relatively easy to compromise.

Furthermore, a phone is a convenience device. It NEEDS to be simple to unlock your phone, or it is useless. A "strong unlock password" is a bad fit for actual use of the phone. Therefore, it's stupid to design a system that makes the mere ability to unlock your phone into something that can take over other devices or cloud services.

A phone should NOT be a "trusted device" in the sense that it can do anything major to anything other than itself. It also should not put especially high-stakes assets, on or off of the phone itself, at risk based on a mere unlock. Any system architecture that violates either of those is a shitty, lazy system architecture.

> then that's YOUR problem, not Apple's.

Yes, by being stupid enough to use an Apple device, and thereby subjecting myself to Apple's brain-dead design, I would indeed create a problem for myself. Good thing I have the luxury of not doing that. I mean, I'm also not dumb enough to store my only copies of anything important in any cloud service. But that doesn't make it not Apple's problem if Apple's own cloud service is insecure.

> The point is that with the Secure Enclave, Apple are able to rely on the iPhone being a "Trusted Device" to enable you to reset the Recovery Key. It is up to YOU to respect the "Trusted Device" status and (a) secure the device accordingly and (b) remove said device from your Apple account as soon as it is no longer in your possession.

If a device is to be "trusted", then it needs to be TRUSTWORTHY, which means that it needs to not cause havoc without reasonable authentication. By locking you out of your cloud account without anything more than a screen unlock PIN, the phone is abusing the trust placed in it.

It is also stupid to put unlimited trust in anything anyway, especially complicated, bug-prone things like "Secure Enclaves" and phone operating systems.
> I ask again: why not simply host it ourselves?

Cost, ongoing maintenance, convenience, existing apps are good enough, existing infrastructure is good enough, I could probably go on for a while.
Self hosting is hard.

Self hosting with channels, voice chats and permissions is harder. Discord also had one unified account to join different channels, private message, etc.
It would be extremely hard to implement templates with dynamic dispatch while maintaining the correct semantics.
I'm not using any dark theme addons or similar, just the standard prefers-color-scheme, and I have the same problem. So they just didn't account for their website's dark mode when writing the article.
Chess and solution pool with linear programming (2018)
There are many interpretations of said "fragments" that exist. Even in the article you link, there are plenty of interpretations extending the logos to the idea of both a personal unconscious (freud) and collective unconscious (jung).

I don't care to argue. I believe everyone is right in their own interpretations. It isn't unheard of for something that predated an idea to then be interpreted as an extension of said contemporary idea.
And... you've got a large list of customer, contact and historical info to allow access to. Sending that down to people so they have it locally becomes at least a bit of a privacy/security concern.

Keypressing is a hurdle for me. I know that comes with experience. Very little if any software is truly novel and it all looks and feels very similar. Everything I see is patterns and boilerplate. I do not see the insurmountable complexity anymore.

Scientists are the ones coming up with novelty. We hook up databases to UIs and manage infrastructure. Sure there is complexity but it is of a very superficial kind. Like a ball of Christmas lights.
PhD Dissertation: Monograph or Sandwich Dissertation?

Not really. It increased some types of slavery as before steam power those parts you name were not economical. However slaves were a major way to grow food prior to the industrial revolution. Industry created machine that needed only a few trained crew to operate. That you only needed a few meant that the slave master could do all the work without having to watch the slaves (who did tend to rebel or not work hard if you didn't watch them closely). You couldn't have a lone slave run a machine in general because the slave not being watched would find it easy to run away - possibly with the machine.

The US south ended slavery with the civil war, but most places in the world had a peaceful end. It wouldn't have been peaceful if it was economical as the rich would have fought to keep it.

Apple is notoriously stingy with bug bounties.¹ They also like to say “going to the press doesn’t help” when time and again it’s been shown they only react to bad press.

If the issue you found is “expected behaviour”, then there’s no harm in sharing it. Do it publicly while mentioning your timeline and their response. Let everyone else decide if it’s truly an issue or not. If they end up changing it, it becomes proof you found a legitimate problem. That doesn’t guarantee they’ll pay up, but they’ll get even more bad press if they don’t.

Apple has already indicated they don’t intend to pay you. By keeping the problem a secret you have no recourse and will continue not being paid. Unless you know someone at Apple which could make it happen, anything other than sharing the bug is a waste of your time and presumably harmful for users who won’t know of the problem and thus can’t protect against it.

> There's no middle ground between wanting to kill someone and wanting to let them live in peace. If a person thinks someone is a born child molester (a "groomer" in the modern Newspeak) and that person thinks the punishment for child molestation is death (as is fashionable in Florida of late) there's no way they can meet that person in the middle.

You can start by pulling back from the obvious rhetorical flourishes. We can acknowledge that social liberals aren’t literally child molesters. At the same time, can you acknowledge that parents in Florida don’t want to put anyone to death, but simply don’t trust what liberal teachers will tell their kids about sexuality?

Like is it possible for you to acknowledge that folks in Florida don’t want to kill sexual minorities, but are also wary of a resurgent sexual revolution that could change the behaviors of kids who aren’t born gay or trans? Like can you seriously deny that there is an emerging trend of sexual identity becoming a form of self expression? https://www.cnn.com/2022/02/19/health/pronouns-guide-for-par...

It’s instructive to note that society did reach a broadly acceptable middle ground when it came to same-sex marriage. In the 1970s and 1980s, when the science was not well established, radicals wanted to use same sex relationships as a vehicle to deconstruct social norms around gender and marriage more broadly. The shift in the 1990s to refocus on same sex marriage was a deliberate, and in liberal circles controversial change: https://www.salon.com/1998/11/30/cov_30int. And of course that’s the view that won. Obergefell is a paean to traditional marriage that bears little resemblance to how radical academics conceived of sexual orientation either then or now.
It appears to me that fears over catastrophic climate change are yet another moral panic. Amplified by social media this time.

As with other moral panics (e.g. child abductions, pedophilia), the problem exists, but is blown way out of proportion by the media.

In reality, I believe there of course will be changes in the weather patterns due to a relatively small increase in temperature, but it's not going to be the end of the world and there certainly won't be any mass drought or famine from the change.

I kind of intuitively know this, and mostly disregard the opinions of those saying that there is impending doom. As I have likely seen this type of hysteria play out before in my life many times already.

It will be interesting to see if I'm right about it or not, over the coming decades...
> note that _everyone_ is reading a newspaper or magazine

There is one popular picture where everyone is reading newspapers in a bus. And just like now it is not true that everyone is reading on phone on public transport. It was even less so before, because not everybody carried magazines with them all the time.
