well recalled, that is very true and I am glad you raised that, obnoxious, on the other side of the coin, I fondly recall the UK Multiplay series of LAN events, for me these events showed that in person, people are just nicer, perhaps online it's not just the 'safety' of anonymity, it's closer to machismo posturing with a dash of mob rule combined with the tragedy of the masses, in real life, with a ratio of about 999:1 I saw a lot of good respectful behaviour and it was a great to be a part of that, that community had community at the core in a very genuine way, they deserved their success.

"Dither" has been a word for "to move uncertainly" in Scots for several hundred years at least, so I think you might be wrong there.
Car manufacturers have two big problems:

- Most of the EVs currently produced by ICE car manufacturers are either sold at a loss or with very thin margins at best. The reason is that they waited too long with ramping up investments and the market caught up with them. So, they are now playing catch up with manufacturers that are already profitable and producing at scale.

- Meanwhile Manufacturers that have never had any ICE vehicle business are not holding back with producing increasingly better and cheaper vehicles. And quite a few of these are actually profitable. While traditional manufacturers are scrambling to catch up, those new manufacturers are absorbing most of the growth in the market.

If it weren't for manufacturers like Tesla, BYD, NEO, and others taking over the market with very competitively priced products that can sell in large volumes and with very nice margins, they'd be milking their ICE car revenue for years to come and take it much slower. As it is, they are facing a reality of millions of cheap EVs entering the market. Growing to tens of millions world wide in the next few years. That's going to wipe out a lot of ICE car revenue.
You mean, use a cast iron pan at high heat? Yeah that definitely works, it's standard practice in professional kitchens to do it like that.

But at low heat it will not. Or well, eventually your meat will brown, but first your steak will have boiled for a while so you'll never be able to serve your steak rare or medium rare.

Notes from underground.

> Consequently, these laws of nature have only to be discovered, and man will no longer be responsible for his actions, and it will become extremely easy for him to live his life. All human actions, of course, will then have to be worked out by those laws, mathematically, like a table of logarithms, and entered in the almanac; or better still, there will appear orthodox publications, something like our encyclopaedic dictionaries, in which everything will be so accurately calculated and plotted that there will no longer be any individual deeds or adventures left in the world. ‘Then,’ (this is all of you speaking), ‘a new political economy will come into existence, all complete, and also calculated with mathematical accuracy, so that all problems will vanish in the twinkling of an eye, simply because all possible answers to them will have been supplied. Then the Palace of Crystal will arise. Then….’ Well, in short, the golden age will come again. Of course it is quite impossible (here I am speaking myself) to guarantee that it won’t be terribly boring then (because what can one do if everything has been plotted out and tabulated?), but on the other hand be eminently sensible.
How far do you extend this idea? A dollar diverted to a poor person is a dollar that can’t be used to grow humanity’s knowledge and capabilities. Is it immoral to be poor? A dollar spent on beer? Time spent having sex instead of researching the mysteries of the universe? How about low intelligence people reproducing with other low intelligence people to make low intelligence babies (“Three generations of imbeciles is enough.”) that will have to be fed and clothed and sheltered? Should people be allowed to be homeless? Be drug addicts?

In the grand scheme of things social programs have done way more harm to the advancement of knowledge than high textbook prices.
This makes perfect sense for a commercial kitchen- when I worked in one we had separate cutting boards exclusively used for raw meat.
I do something similar to this too- sometimes making 2-4 scenes and pasting some basic form in the arrangement.

From there, I see it the way a sculptor might see a slab of rock, and start “carving out” the song.

Honestly, this is just silly. I'm sure you've got some very interesting thoughts about the way that Google manages it's data centre energy demand. It's not relevant to the paper. In fact if you read the paper you'd know your whole schtick about Google is irrelevant because their models ran on TPUs whose power characteristics aren't public information and therefore aren't in the paper.

You're quite literally making nonsensical complaints.
From what I’ve read and seen, many cookbook authors test their recipes repeatedly in home kitchens. Most have testers or volunteers to ensure they make sense and work. By contrast I have some books that are restaurant recipes they purposely did not modify for home use. They are ridiculously complex and interesting.

> The newcomers to the RTS scene are largely badly made.

Not only that.
Playing a game today is going to a store, get a download code, wait half of hour for the game to install, make an online accout, confirm it, wait another half of hour for the game to update, start the game, shows you unskippable movies, then it starts some role playing and then finally the RTS or FPS starts. Sometimes you need a permanent connection to internet which makes the experience even worse.

With old games it is just: install the game then play.

This reminds me of When my great grandmother became unable to cook and decided to pass her recipes along, it turned out that half of her “traditional southern food” classics had been from some old southern living cookbooks or the back of a Betty Crocker box somewhere.

She made a cookbook of her recipes we all enjoyed for years and years and she included some of the original cutouts and index cards from probably the 50-60s or so. There’s also a lot of steps that you’d expect from a grandmother “cook until done” and “add some spices” to some of them.
You have to spend money to make money.
Surveillance is the tip of the iceberg.

Let's say for example country A invades country B.

Country C sends aid to country B.

Some segment of citizens in Country C are upset by this.

Country A now creates an indirect funding route to people in Country C who are influential on social media. They amplify their voices through shares, likes, retweets and other aspects of social media algorithms. They employ farms of people around the world to ensure that these voices are liked, shared and amplified, to create the illusion that this is the popular view.

Citizens in country C take the approach of "crowd wisdom" and go along with it. This influences elections and influences policy. The funding stops, and the invasion is now successful without the external defense funding.

What mechanisms do countries have to deal with this? One could argue that surveillance may help uncover whether a common thread is linked to internal discord in society, and that thread can be pulled on to reveal a foreign adversary.

Let's say the reverse happens. Country A and country B have a territorial dispute. Country A occupies parts of Country B. Country C is aligned with Country B. The intelligence agencies in Country C do the same kind of social media influence operations to manufacture consent for their policies.

What mechanisms do countries have to deal with the intelligence agencies manufacturing consent in this manner? What if there are counter-intelligence operations run by foreign adversaries who are calling out these manufacturing consent operations on social media. One could see how surveillance will help follow the thread and identify these adversaries, if they exist in this part of the tapestry.

In the 2016 election there was evidence that this type of activity is now routine and commonplace between countries.

We also already know that the US government has conducted operations like Mockingbird, Cointelpro and others through the news media in the past. It is not a stretch to presume they engage in this as well, except now through social media.

There is ample evidence to assume that all the conversations taking place online, and the downstream effects thereof, are simply the manifestations of some other prime movers. How does the citizenry become educated about these phenomenon in a way that somehow at least partially inoculates them against becoming pawns in this bigger chess game?
I was hoping this was going to be about this kind of industrial hammer.

I’m fascinated by the economics of image sharing sites. They fill a fundamental need to share images across other platforms but they seem expensive to run and difficult to monetize.

Have there been successful image hosters that weren’t just spending money to capture users in order to sell out or eventually enshitten (imgur, giphy, imageshack)?

Shutterstock is selling prints so it will be interesting to see what they do with giphy.

I remember when Imgur started and they were really nice and seemed to be a low cost (I think only one employee) so they could host barebones without making the experience bad for users (ads, data mining, etc).
> Hypothesis 1: Human-level intelligence is possible because brains are biological machines.

> Rejecting hypothesis 1 would require either some supernatural ingredient behind our intelligence or rejecting computational functionalism, the hypothesis that our intelligence and even our consciousness can be boiled down to causal relationships and computations that at some level are independent of the hardware substrate, the basic hypothesis behind computer science and its notion of universal Turing machines.

I think I'm going to stop there. I can reject that hypothesis without woo, and without rejecting the entirety of computer science. Maybe the rest of it is a decent read, but that run-on argument is confused/dishonest and makes a poor foundation to build his position on.
Huh interesting. I haven’t really touched it since 2016 so it’s probably different now.
Side note, but how defensible is Shutterstock's business after the generative AI boom?

I understand that Shutterstock's customers need royalty-free, high-res images with clear copyrights. Is the lack of clear copyrights the biggest hurdle to generative AI art adoption, or is the quality of the art itself the bigger hurdle?
Seems like you could just count the number of primary key entries in the index.
Yep, that's how I read your original description and I'd watch the heck out of that if I had time. I was just commenting on the "they want it fast" remark.
I wrote some Vue instead of Elm because I was frustrated. But the more I work with Vue the more I am absolutely terrified of using it for non-internal web apps.

Elm has some super annoying problems, like their disdain for nested structures or components, but I just don't know of anything better...

If people can credibly ask whether something is dead, then the project is dead.

Live projects appear to be alive. There is activity, developers to talk to, support to purchase, release notes to read, even if those release notes are just maintenance notes for mature software.

For me it was the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book. For example, the section on cream soups is a detailed explanation of the process of making any cream soup, with a table of details and variations for each vegetable. I assume they didn't test every variation, but the first part obviously showed enough first hand experience to teach understanding not just rote repetition.
You're not really defending against competent malicious adults which plan everything in advance.

You're defending against angry teens who might decide on doing it because one day something pushed them over an emotional edge. In that case, just knowing there are security measures to overcome might be enough to make them never try in the first place. You're not defending against rational actor, you're defending against emotional actor and security theatre is effective against emotional actors.
> The fastest route to a rogue AI system is if a human with the appropriate technical skills and means intentionally builds it with the objective of destroying humanity or a part of it set explicitly as a goal.

If rogue AI(s) emerges then I suspect it will come out of military r&d, rather than academia or industry. The deep resources already exist. The motivation will be the need to build it before $enemy$ does, rather than to "destroy humanity", but I reckon it creates more momentum than the profit motive when coupled to state power. Its the same pressure that got us nukes and mutal assured destruction. Military secrecy will pretty much guarantee inadequate oversight. Military discipline will ensure that most (but maybe not quite all) of the people working on it will suppress their ethical concerns, or will have none to begin with.

The fact that the AI will necessarily be trained to kill (which will necessitate a lack of hard-wired moral constraint) will help too, I guess.

I suspect there are already things going on in anonymous mil/defence labs that would give many people nightmares.

His take on React as some kind of marketing-driven conspiracy just seems odd to me.

React became popular because it solved problems that everyone in the frontend was having, did so in a way we could understand, and it did this so well that we were willing to put up with shortcomings like being forced into a SPA, CSS-in-JS, etc. We could jump in with just a little corner of our site or go all-in to a robust ecosystem that was continually evolving to meet the needs of the modern Web, and the resulting code was far more likely to be understood by a new employee than the bespoke jQuery soup that we replaced.

And critically, this was all free and open source. No lifetime hammer subscriptions involved. No lock-in, no monetary sunk costs, so why not try it out?

> I was deeply connected into the valley culture, watching what was happening from the Google side when it all started. It wasn’t money Facebook was looking for, it was talent and mindshare (i.e., power and control).

...Okay? But I'm guessing that most people who adopted and use React on a regular basis have zero interaction with Facebook or Google (the companies that is, not the product).

I dunno. Seems like the critique is a hammer looking for a nail.

I get the concerns about using React in places it doesn't need to be used, and I'm glad that the ecosystem has matured and innovated to allow us to keep what's great about React while also getting back SSR (though there's still work to be done here) and figuring out the best ways to work regular CSS into it.
They applied in December but it has not gone through yet and may not resolve in either direction until September.
The Joy of Cooking still takes up the bulk of its pages with recipes. Though pretty much all cookbooks did pre-Web. You got recipes out of big cookbook volumes (as well as newspapers etc.)

I agree with your basic point though. And there are tons of cookbooks today that do spend pages on relevant techniques--though certainly some are celebrity chef memoirs interspersed with recipes and high-quality photoss.
> I'll never understand why we recently pretend that we haven't been poking the bear.

I never understand why people like you think Russia has the right to decide what alliance countries get into, and why Russia has the right to unilaterally abandon and go against international agreements that they sign (like the Budapest memorandum).

In reality Ukraine had zero chance of NATO membership and it still doesn't until far into the future, Russias reasons for invading clearly have nothing to do with Ukraine unless you can show me the tanks rolling towards Finland and Sweden right now.

So please tell me why does Russia get to roll through Ukraine and rape and torture its citizens with impunity?.

I loved Elm as soon as I had a running app that I could refactor and be (reasonably) sure it would work once the compiler was satisfied.

However, I don't like the way the project is run. It's one Benevolent Dictator that has a particular vision for Elm and he's not really sharing with the community. For context, the latest Elm version (0.19.1) was released in October 2019. It kind of feels like a nice tree house left to the elements because the person grew out of interest, but kept a lock on the door.
That doesn't change a thing -- it's not in keeping with the ordinary practices of the US, nobody wants it, and it's almost guaranteed to fail.

It's a valid assessment depending on the context. There's a lot of software scaffolding that exists in places that, usually for good intentions, creates complexity in the hope of simplify the problem at hand. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it works, it's great. When it doesn't work, it adds yet another layer of complexity to deal with whatever problem you're trying to actually tackle.

Ultimately it comes down to trying to do a cost/benefit analysis of the complexity at hand and deciding if the additional layers add enough value and how far your problem deviates from the supporting structures. The issue is, it's often quite difficult to know a priori what is helpful and what just adds complexity because goals are often moving targets and you have to try and assess the range of potential goals with the flexibility of all the middle layers you introduce.
