Words change over time. Plenty of words have changed meaning in my lifetime to become less formal than they once were. And I guarantee I used to be this pedantic about some of them, particularly around the usage of grammar and punctuation, and in some cases am still very stubbornly pedantic even though it’s clear the world has moved on and I’m the only one left on the hill.

The phrase “artificial intelligence” is the same here. You may still die on this hill, but the world has moved on. AI has become overloaded to mean a wide variety of things and not just the “dangerous” generalized terminator robot you’re envisioning.

One strategy to cope is to come up with a new word and define it as you’d like, being careful to not overload it.
Yes. Look at the GMail UI for example, or Google Groups: https://groups.google.com/g/golang-dev (BTW, its UI designer needs to be fired and banned from working on UI design for life).

There are large empty margins around each line. That grow if you try to increase the scale. If these margins were decreased, you could have seen more information on one screen.
The storage in "PV with storage" is most commonly measured in single digit hours of capacity, and is primarily used in locations where the sun is predictable up during the day and has a predictable discharge/charging cycle of 24 hours. One of the biggest upside is that the economics of it is fairly simplistic with 365 cycles each year that produce predictable revenue.

There is a second form of storage that is also fairly common, which is storage that exist to balance the grid when different units goes up and down. Those generally have even less capacity and are not intended to operate under long periods.

For locations where the first form of PV with storage works, they should really replace everything (with imports handling any exceptional weather events). Storage of this form does however become significant more expensive the further away we get from this optimal weather pattern, and there is a multiple reasons why wind heavy nations can not survive on a few hours of storage. Latitude and seasons can also have a very large impact if a nation where to use this as their only strategy.

>Warren Buffett is a brilliant investor, not a domain expert in AI

You don't have to be an AI domain expert to be able to have a good insight on what the AI can be good and bad for, work, economy, or society wise.

Similar how you don't have to be an expert on nuclear physics to be able to understand the impact of the nuclear bomb on the world.

I'd say that the last people who would be able to good unbiased advice on the results of AI use, are the technical experts on AI.
What are the advantages of ATProto over ActivityPub? I don't get it, if you want to make a decentralized social network why not go with the standardized, working, protocol? What does ATProto offer over ActivityPub?
God damn it, Hotdog Stand made Windows more usable and I'll take that with me to the grave.

Seriously, though, I'm starting to be convinced that a modern UI is a must for usability, and that people on Hackernews who favor e.g., a Windows 9x UI (which I was once one of) don't understand how usability actually works. To be user-friendly, a program must bathe its user in comfort, and dated looks and UI paradigms do not do that.
I am under the (maybe wrong?) impression that the former issue is helped a lot by telling the car to accelerate in Chill mode instead of Standard, which causes it to purposefully carefully ramp a derivative or two of acceleration.
Its not artificial though, its just intelligence.
They expect it to turn out differently because they’re building something in the style of how the web was built.
This did use to happen. IN the 20's, companies could just print more shares and sell them, with no notification to anybody that they had diluted them. Until there were laws created to stop it.
Personal finance apps are tarpit ideas.

I love it on Linux, but has anyone else had it perform really poorly on macos? Last time I had a MacBook, it wasnt even close to the instantaneous speed of pass on Linux- more like seconds for every command.
With physical access you can simply install a keylogger, GPS tracker, and maybe something worse (malicious PCI-Express or USB device for example).
Coming of Age in Samoa is controversial but the claim that Mead was actively lying is pretty untenable.

The main point of contention is that some of Mead's subjects, 40 years and a conversion to Christianity later, denied having had casual sex as young women and claimed that they were playing a practical joke on her.

Whether they were telling the truth then and if so to what extent they're representative of Mead's other subjects is a thorny issue, to say the least.
Failing to protect medical records should be a criminal matter, and criminal negligence seems a common enough term I assume that it is real rather than a made up cop drama term.

Also the traditional justification for ludicrous compensation for CEOs etc is how much more risk and responsibility they have, and this seems to be the CEO baring (minimal) responsibility for the company’s actions.
I don't want to sound cynical
but all the things you describe are mostly early stage nimble startups with goos teams. As they grow quality erodes.
There's a vast difference between "public" and "actively surfaced." Indeed, blocking someone on Twitter would not prevent them from finding your public profile in an incognito window and seeing your posts - it would simply prevent your posts from being easily and automatically accessible to them in their feed. In practice, this tends to reduce conflict. My concern with Bluesky is that it makes it very possible for tools to make block information easily and automatically accessible - in fact, it would allow a bad actor to create a service that shows a feed of just content from people who want to block you from seeing it. That's a recipe for disaster.
Elsevier's profit margin is 37% from what I can find.
> They do no work, take all the profit, and obstruct research and the spread of knowledge. Those are some of the worst scums of capitalism.

People like naking comparison to natural selection, hierarchies and food chains.

However they mistakenly believe that Lion is at the top of the food chain. Then they start discussing irrelevant issues, like if lion is being too mean to the herbivores.

Their understanding is fundamentally wrong - the lion is not at the top. The parasites that live in the lion are at the top.

The punlishers are parasites. They are at the top.

How does nature remove parasites, say tapeworms? It doesn't, only extenral intervention like surgery can remove them.
Email started off as something you only got through your ISP. It then turned into something you only got through Google. It’s not really an example of a service where the vast majority of people make an active choice.
Yeah the previous comment is almost completely wrong. But on last point, it didn't get here by hard-coding and the reinforcement learning part at the end i think shows it definitely can "learn". I guess one thing I would still point to is it has a weakened sense of "self" still I think, which goes inline with it distinguishing things learned in training vs in deployment (though maybe this is just intentional idk)
Cost =/= quality on papers, almost all of the "best writings of all time" are public domain, and many of the best papers absolutely free.

And most researchers want their papers to be free, to the point where you can email them and they will give you a free copy, and they post the preprints on arXiv and their personal website to get around publishing requirements.

It's funny to see people advocate for a classist system of nobility hundreds of years later. Please, tell us more about how you'd like to restrict a social network to those who are, as they say, "well bred".
Ironically ChatGPT would have made whatever point the author was trying to make (I’m not really sure what the point was to be honest…) much more succinctly and clearly. Maybe one use of ChatGPT as an anti-bloviating converter.
The responsibility for hiding the hack and failing to correct the problems surely lies on the company management though, right?

This seems like yet another case where a company thinks keeping quiet and pretending nothing happened will be more profitable.
As someone who similarly has Asian parents that have gone through their own trauma in life, this resonates with me. As a younger child, my parents would hit us with clothes hangers, as this was the only method of discipline that they knew at the time. I don't feel like they realize or acknowledge the effects of that.

While interactions nowadays are rarely negative, I've resolved to cut of communication at some point in the future, after I've alleviated my own guilt by "repaying" them monetarily for all they've done in raising me.

I get yelled at most days still, though.

Most of the electronic devices I've owned over the years have been broken by my dad smashing it after getting frustrated over some aspect of schoolwork related to my usage of such devices. Curiously, this seems to happen after he's had a few drinks.
VACnet, not VAC. Server-side ML model analyzing player actions influencing their Trust Factor (or just straight up banning in more egregious cases).
The "Back" button seems to be doing exactly what I was after with the Undo suggestion. Not sure how I missed it!

I must also add that the game is bloody awesome. Been playing it daily, now a part of the daily routine. Thanks for making and sharing it!
>the improvement that while it's federated in theory, right now there's only one server

has the federation even been implemented? Is it an open protocol? Why on earth should anybody trust them not to go back on their word once they've gotten enough critical mass that nobody wants to leave because that's where their friends are (the so-called "network effect")?
Why would MSI have Intel’s private key? How private could it have been if they were handing it out to OEMs?
You can just not click on Bluesky links, no one is forcing you to read articles you aren’t interested in.
i think several decades ago, a lot of people didn't really want kids but had them anyway due to societal/family pressure. my parents were immigrants so the pressure was probably double. mentally both weak, and strong. a paradox.

my dad used to hit me until one day i realized i was heavier than him, and threw him onto the couch and raised my fist to hit him, but didn't. he never tried again.

my relationship with them is fine now (i'm middle aged) but i still don't listen to a god damn thing they say about life advice. quite frankly they don't know their ass from their elbow about how america really works and less than zero about growing up here. most immigrant parents don't, even though they pretend to, for some insane reason.

as for me i'm not having kids, and i don't really do long-term monogamous relationships either (i date plenty). i'm sure my parents are disappointed but quite frankly i don't give a shit.
ah, the old lets play at being a stickler on vocabulary to divert attention from the point. so lets grant the point that we could be using sea shells for currency, and that printed money is a 'theoretical stand in for something like trust, or a promise or other million things that theoreticians can dream up'. It doesn't change any argument at all.

Consider a test page like this: https://web.archive.org/web/20230323033128im_/http://www.lag...

A gamma of 2.2 puts that '15' at 0.2% brightness, and the '20' at 0.4% brightness.

An 8 bit linear representation would make that '20' square the minimum brightness above zero. The next step up would be roughly the '30' square.

So yes, the gamma curve is very necessary. Even 12 bit linear would be a bad idea. So 14 or 16 minimum. And adding HDR is something like 2 bits with gamma and 8 bits without.
Apparently Mastodon's decentralisation works better.
why would download posts be difficult to begin with?

You know in the past, the Internet were designed to be downloadablein the first place, like USENET, FTP, etc.
(At a tech school) I signed up early-on for an Intro to Music course I thought would be interesting--and to be clear it was. But as it turned out the person teaching the class was a pretty well-known choral director (John Oliver as I recall) and pretty much everyone else in the class were well-versed in music and were there because of said well-known choral director so not knowing the difference between major and minor keys wasn't really part of the program.

It was fine. It just wasn't really what I signed up for.
As a counter example, sesame was recently made a major food allergen by the FDA, which caused many food makers to add sesame to their food.

Adding sesame was easier than following the regulations to assert their foods were sesame free, so now food that used to be safe is now dangerous for anyone with a sesame allergy.

> Public transport is already funded through taxes. We already paid for it.

In Germany the local public transport is only partially funded by taxes. Tickets / Taxes is roughly 50 / 50.

The Autobahn is mostly funded by taxes.
This tells me that you don’t actually want what Twitter is (was?) good at.

Mastodon is clearly not a replacement for me. It’s a different type of community/service, one that doesn’t have much value for me. (Not to say it’s bad! I just don’t care for it, it doesn’t do something I want.)

Equally, Twitter wasn’t (and mostly still isn’t) terrible for everyone. Everyone gets to choose what it is! I am particular about who I follow, I unfollow quickly, and I care not for celebrities and people’s “personal brand”.

Twitter is an incredible resource, if you want it to be.

That said, it could clearly be better, and any replacement that prevents a single entity controlling everyone’s algorithmic feed or deciding who can post or what they can say is worth exploring.
The opening of the article explicitly lists “Scotland, Wales, North Ireland and Northumbria” despite leaving Northumbria (which resides mostly in northern England) out of the title.
I use KeePass. I sync with Dropbox. I've not found a solution that competes on simplicity and ease of use.
> I should also note that this applies to all organizations

Yes, including the Nazi party. Like I said, this is the exact defense used in Nuremberg. People don’t get to absolve themselves of guilt just because they weren’t the ones metaphorically or literally pulling the trigger when they were still knowingly a cog in a machine of genocide.
> and if it's not, we can always go back to having governments and corporations

I wouldn't be so sure about that...
I use it intensively on Mac and not had that problem.

Since it interfaces with GPG I would suspect something to do with how your gpg configuration is set up (is it trying to talk to a gpg-agent or possibly a pin-entry program that is timing out or something like that). Intrinsically what it does is completely trivial in terms of compute etc.
Then what is the biggest difference between the two besides the name of the protocol?

Maybe some folks like yourself thought Twitter was terrible before, but plenty of people were happy enough until certain changes by Musk. Mastodon itself had a large growth recently as people left Twitter in response.

I had an automated bot running for a long time on Twitter that I was happy with, until recently when API access was cut off. Now I'm looking for a new platform for my bot to run on as a direct result of recent controversial policy change. Maybe it will be Mastodon or Bluesky, or maybe something else. I think I prefer something more similar to how Twitter was than Mastodon currently is for my needs.
Bitwarden can be self hosted. KeePass* you can sync with a separate service (eg Dropbox).
Kind of the end of history. There's just so much longer periods for consoles. You're stuck with what you ship for a long time, the memories keep enduring, the next thing isn't right over the hill.
Thank you for sharing your memories! That's a cool demo with a great soundtrack.

And I couldn't agree more - that era was such a carefree and imaginative period for many of us, filled with endless possibilities. As I approach 55 this year, I fondly look back on my programming journey that began in the early 80s. And like you, I too have never really grown up – always eager to explore, learn new things, and continue dreaming.

I believe maintaining this youthful mindset and spirit is essential for staying vibrant and engaged in life. Cheers to never growing up!

I'm failing to see the point of this. You pick a "pod provider" and then they host your data for you, right? And that provider is just backing it on some cloud host. why would I do this
If this is sincere then it's a heartbreaking moment of reflection and clarity for Microsoft - albeit with the success of game pass I don't think they're going to be too sad about the relative poor performance of XBone and Series X.

If it's a cynical play to appear vulnerable so that they're in a better position to appeal the UK CMA decision then I think they're going to have to come up with more than the "poor little us" story when they still have $69bn knocking around for the acquisition.

The console wars will be over when Microsoft ditches the XBox and uses the PC as their platform. I don't see that happening for the next generation.
I use Secrets (https://outercorner.com/secrets-mac/) which syncs via iCloud. Definitely not perfect, especially if you're not heavily within the Apple ecosystem, but at least it's native and doesn't require a subscription.
That’s bs, you can’t say console war is over because we lost but still have the most anticipated game (for Bethesda fans at least) exclusive in the console market

If everything were consciousness, chat GTP would be a digital Ouija board. But we've already seen that the computer, like George Washington, can't tell a lie: you can ask the chatbot "how" it would take over the world, but it can't be duplicitous.

Crazy times.
Fwiw, the biggest downside of it is multiple user functionality.

It's doable, but you have to import the public gpg key of everybody who needs to access the secrets. Effectively, every secret ends up encrypted with the public key of every user who needs access - not sure how scalable it would be if you have more than a small team of people accessing it this way.
Fair and thank you I was feeling cynical this afternoon. I’ll agree his Foundation is a win. I was thinking more of companies on the focus (eg. calico) and not of funding organizations like the CF foundation (huge success story) and HHMI (great driver of scientist led science ).
(Saying this as an excited bluesky user and someone who really really hopes all of this succeeds long-term)

I think possibly their biggest challenge ahead will be making parts of it non-public. Private mutes/blocks, having some analogue of Circles for whitelisting post viewers, etc.

Having a truly open and public database - especially once signups no longer require invite codes - is going to mean a cambrian explosion of tools and clients the likes of which we've never seen before in social media (which is already sorta happening even with closed signups). But that might include malicious apps that take advantage of that same openness to stalk, spam, and harass (especially given it's coinciding with a huge leap in AI technology). It might be AT Protocol's biggest test.
You start with the easy case then gradually make the model more robust by increasing the difficulty.

What you’re suggesting is akin to trying to develop a jetliner before building propeller aircraft. Too hard too soon and you don’t really know what the target even is. Much learning happens before you can successfully execute a complex plan like that.

Plus it’s better from a business standpoint because you can achieve probability profitability sooner with your MVP.
great i never tried it on linux but i will try it.
Here I propose a product for simple users who don't understand code or shell scripting, so it is easier and seems like paid websites that buy this service.
Maybe it'd be better to just not have any blocking/muting built into such a system at all.

If User A doesn't want to see posts from User B, that's fine. User A can have his client filter them out locally, prior to when they'd otherwise be displayed. Nobody else has to know this is happening.

I don't think that User A should be permitted to prevent User B from replying to User A's posts, which in turn prevents User C (or all other users) from discovering what User B thinks about whatever User A posted.

User A trying to prevent his otherwise-public posts from being visible to User B seems pointless to me, as User B could log out, or use another account that hasn't been blocked, or ask somebody else who hasn't been blocked to screenshot it, or use some other way around it.
