I'm skeptical we're there yet.

But the worse thing is that it's never rational for economic actors (e.g., employers) to pay out a "social dividend" by cutting everyone's hours but paying them the same.

30 workers got replaced by 1 worker at a computer? Cool, but are you gonna pay that 1 worker 30 times the wages of a laid off worker? No; otherwise, why lay the 30 off to begin with? Conversely, are you gonna NOT lay off the 30, pay them the same, but have them work 1/30th of their regular 8 hours because their base productivity just got achievable in 1/30th of the time by computerization? Economically, that's absurd.

The only thing that can force those economic absurdities is the government. (Not having slavery is also economically absurd. Voluntarily refuse to have literal, self-replicating, AGI automata working for you? That's crazy! But it's enforced by the government and international norms, so the absurdity is now normal.) The scary thing about that is how hard it would mess with the economy, having the government tell you how many people you can fire and how much to pay them based on some measure of productivity or just business profits.

In a future of "AI, math PhDs, and serfs", though, we really need to figure it out. If we're headed toward that, it's going to be insanely asymmetric cyber-feudalism where 9.9/10 people are GrubHub peasants OR The Culture's post-scarcity luxury space communism. The latter seems way better. On the plus side, I think we'd only be GrubHub peasants for like 15 years, max, before that kind of AI ignites the Singularity, at which point who knows what happens? GrubHub would probably be gone though.

I’m willing to bet that majority people just approve all the permissions an app asks for.

Yes, web page can request your GPS as well, that is true. But a webpage won’t be doing it while the user is not actively using the page.

Also remember when Apple introduced origination about reading users’ clipboard and TikTok was one of the first ones that got caught red handed? I’m not iOS developer but I would not be surprised if there was more the app can gain from users devices.

Twitch Mention Notifier – A browser extension to notify chat mentions on Twitch
Hello everyone, I would like to introduce the browser extension I developed specifically for Twitch platform users: Twitch Mention Notifier!

With this extension, you will never miss a mention in the chat, even when browsing in other tabs. The Twitch Mention Notifier will send instant notifications every time someone mentions your name in the specified chat, displaying the time of the mention, the username, and the message sent.

The setup is simple, and it's incredibly easy to use. All the necessary instructions, including the extension download, are available in the repository's README.

I appreciate any feedback you may have!
That's because American suburbs are culture and commerce deserts, designed to sell cars (and to promote racism! but that's not the current topic). If you own a house in a livable neighborhood, with stores down the street, it isn't that weird for people to hang out in any particular spot. There are perfectly non-nefarious things/people they could be waiting for.

This is what I meant in the second half of my previous comment.
This is the air quality page for Tokyo on accuweather.com

https://www.accuweather.com/en/jp/tokyo/226396/air-quality-i...

Clicking on the Learn more from Plume Labs takes you to the air quality data source.

https://air.plumelabs.com/air-quality-in-Tokyo-7Lj5

You can see graphs with the tabs named Live, Week, Month, Year. We can check past data there. The weekly graph shows 72 AQI on May 18th. The yearly graph shows the annual average of 39 AQI.

Can you confirm that you see the same data?
I think this comes down to you being Norwegian (ie getting good quality govt services in exchange for your taxes). Now imagine being Greek. If folks realised they're paying 22.5% to the govt on top of everything they purchase... they wouldn't be very happy.
On the election stealing it was both trump and Hillary so that’s kind of a pattern now
Direct carbon capture, electric vehicles, electric building heat, electric industrial process heat, and desalination are all massive new sectors that need to be powered that are barely on the radar of the existing electric grid.

And we need more power to let emerging economies rise out of poverty, where having electric pumps and washing are truely life-changing from a quality of life perspective.

So we need about 5x more total energy while also shifting from 80% fossil to 0% fossil.

This is why I advocate for nuclear while most people advocate for wind and solar. We need advocates for all clean energy. Nuclear can actually use its own direct low-carbon heat to help with buildings (district heat) and industry, and that heat can also help in desal in some cases, though RO is the preference these days and doesn't really need that much heat input.
Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad you're excited about the app and its potential. I understand the concerns regarding adding sources, and I'm actively working on intuitive features to address them. Your support means a lot to me as I strive to improve the app and make it more user-friendly
> Either the ideas are sound, or they’re not.

That's a pre-punk attitude, there. Ideas on their own do nothing, it's actions that produce change. Klein talks a good game but then publishes with the biggest conglomerates, does the promotion tours, etc etc; effectively, she sells out like everyone else. Does this make her work less meaningful? Yes, it weakens it significantly; claiming things like "capitalism is incompatible with controlling climate change" and "brands are bad for society" and then happily partaking in that same capitalism and branding, is incoherent to say the least. And sure enough, it does little except justifying her profile in the system.
Why is it not an issue when the leak is on Google?

Heya, maker here.

I understand your frustration and and sorry for the lack of clarity. Let me provide you with a brief explanation of what this is all about.

NodePad is really a simple experiment. The purpose of is to tackle the issue of inconsistent responses in Language Models (LLMs) and explore potential solutions through the user interface (UI).(hence the video, I understand though that it wasn't exactly helpful :) )

The tool itself is quite straightforward. It allows you to express your thoughts rapidly by typing them into the input field at the top. Once you've entered your thoughts, you can then further develop or question them individually using the brainstorming feature. You may connect them visually or just download the cancas as a markdown file.

I'm not telling you to be silent because I disagree with you. I'm not sure how that couldn't be more clear. It's because you have no idea what you are talking about and you are doing any reader a disservice.
That's really cool. Takes care of one of my points.

I wonder if I can get the 16" laptop without a mainboard? Might as well just get the Framework 16 with AMD mainboard in that case.
I think Google is like that. Imagine going from such a lofty initial mission to running an advertising spot market.

Is there a TL;DR about the current state of the Oil Shell. I'm aware of Oil Shell and hope it succeeds, but have not been following over the last few years.
I'm bottom tier management so I work with middle management directly a bit. All of this is just the organisations Ive been in, I'm sure there are every possible kind.

Top level management is often driven by short term incentives, they want dramatic big bang 'transformative change', while middle management is largely in it for their career. So they're pressurised for short term goals, but their actual career stability and advancement depends on middle to long term success.

What's really important is making sure the signal from the ground level gets to middle management. A lot of reporting process and bullshit is because middle management want to understand what the heck is going on and that's the only reliable way they have to get information. So politely and as constructively as possible go to them and tell them what you think they need to know. I'm not guaranteeing they will listen to you, but if you don't try then all they will have is reporting spreadsheets.
A lot of people are just misinformed.
These are worth reading because the Court's decision here was very specific and narrow.

The plaintiffs sued because ISIS killed their family members and they were specifically trying to prove collusion between Twiiter and ISIS (and YouTube and ISIS). The facts they declared they would present did not, SCOTUS ruled, meet the definition of collusion as per the law. In short, even if Twitter (and YouTube) did make money off of ads run next to ISIS recruitment information, that's not material support of terrorism. It'd be a bit like someone trying to sue CNN for supporting the invasion of Ukraine because they screwed up and ran that Applebee's ad against footage of Kyiv under siege.

So the case doesn't particularly test 230 very thoroughly because the underlying civil claim ("Twitter is liable for my loved one's death because at some point they made money off an ad run next to ISIS recruitment material") has no legal merit.
It's CNN, I'm pretty sure the article is aimed at americans. The anti-gun-ownership sentiment in the article is quite plain. So any number that can be passed off as large will be.

Safari itself didn’t support webp until a year or two ago.
Personally, I'm a firm believer that most "web app" use cases are better served by many small databases (e.g. per-user or per-document) rather than a single monolithic databases. This is especially true when serving users all around the world -- per-user databases can be located near each user (both for speed and to comply with data locality laws).

What I'd like to enable here is a progression where you start out prototyping your app with a single D1 database, which is easy to use and reasonably fast. Then as you grow we provide tools to let you transition to many D1 databases sharded in a way that makes sense (e.g. per-user). Apps that want even more control can move to using full-on Durable Objects (which will soon support a SQLite database per-object).

That said, there are certainly many use cases out there where simple monoliths make sense, especially non-interactive data crunching. I'm not sure yet if D1 will ever be the right choice for those, but the Workers platform aims to provide many options.

This is interesting; the display can show the whole stack (my daily driver, a 35s has only 2 lines, and the 32SII only has one). Keyboard looks fairly similar to a 32SII in layout; no arrow-keys like the 35s.

Given that it takes only a single battery, I suppose it stores programs in non-volatile memory rather than SRAM (my 35s has two batteries and you need to change them one-at-a-time to not erase the memory).
So a few milliseconds in total. Big whoop. OpenBSD's ahci(4) driver stalls 5-6 seconds for each SATA device on the bus, just to make sure the device really is there and that the link speed is correct...or something. My two OpenBSD machines, which incidentally have 3 SATA drives each, spend almost 20 seconds on that one segment alone during kernel startup.
If the terrorists and child sexual abusers move to Telegram or some other more underground app, the Online Safety Bill will have partly achieved its purpose: to make social media safer for normal people using mainstream social networks. Currently we rely on the content policy and moderation staff of big tech companies to censor the surprising amount of illegal content that is constantly posted on social media [1]. The UK government wants to assume more control over this process with new powers that are legally restricted to what is "necessary and proportionate." They don't expect this to inconvenience the rest of the electorate, they expect it to reduce crime and other online harms.

> it’s not that different in this regard from an average coworker.

100% agree. Its like having a coworker who you can constantly pester with technical questions. I really love how you can ask ChatGPT follow ups to earlier questions and it understand the context.

At some point, I expect companies to put their internal Wikis/documentation into LLMs so you can learn and onboard staff faster. You'd probably need a large amount of data to learn on, but I guess some of the large companies have that.
That's not a refutation; it's a claim that new data is not necessary.
No it wasn't decided there. There is no analysis as to whether the image is infringing or not and it's not even a debate, because the warhol foundation admitted the pictures were substantially similar.
Well there is ML in the speech recognition and my guess is they use some NLP algos, but yeah it's not a fine-tuned language model.
Yeast is really the main flavor producing element in beer/ale that is lightly hopped and with relatively lightly roasted malt. You can get drastically different flavors with the exact same grain and hop bill just by changing the yeast, and then furthermore changing the yeast pitch rate, temperature of fermentation, etc.

Most of what we perceive as flavor in beer, floral notes, spicy notes, even banana flavor or “horse blanket” which is a real funk flavor for some English beers comes from the microbes. Even in the heavily hopped modern IPAs, the yeast do incredible things to what goes into the fermenter. If you’ve ever sampled “wort” (beer before fermentation) you’ll know what I mean. It’s foul. Hop water tastes like bong water. Yeast turn this into bright mango, pineapple, papaya flavors.

Isnt it ironic that the main thing they teach to the general public is benefits of competition in free markets. But the first thing they teahc to MBA types is to avoid competition by any means possible.
White flight swelled the population of suburbs but they were already substantial. I think it would be a misleading picture if you just choose one point in a continuous process and start from there.

The American far right is mostly too illiterate to understand, much less formulate a coherent fascist outlook. So we get social engineering hobbyists manipulating Christian White Nationalists to blindly, if incoherently, support fascism in return for support on taking the bodily autonomy of women, for example. This is an issue of very limited value to fascists except by way of coalition building.
There's a third category that's even more important. Any level of DIY tech almost invariably becomes a process rather than a project. A project has a start and end time, or discrete phases, and things that happen between checkpoints don't matter. It's a black box made of time rather than API boundaries or physical walls.

A series of projects is not a process. Process and project are also kind of ways of life, some people fill their lives with projects and some people live continually, always doing something, rarely planning, making every moment count, while a project is all about making everything up to "Deploy" not count.

But when you set up your own server, there's a high chance you'll need to think about it again at some point.

People will accept projects to some extent. If setting up your profile was more like a scrapbook project, people would like it. They liked Myspace.

But I am not interesting in maintaining my own email, one of the most critical bits of infrastructure for modern life, when I could have a team of probably literally thousands making sure it never breaks.
Now if only it didn’t cost so damn much every month even under insurance =(

Let's be 100% clear on this - nobody is forcing the merchants into accepting credit cards. In fact, many don't. They do fine as cash-only businesses.

The hard economic reality is that accepting credit cards increases your sales, presumably enough to make the interchange fees worth it.

At last, Afterpay, Affirm etc. charge 600 bps (6%) interchange for their 4 split payments offer. Again, no one forces merchants to accept these payment methods, but the ones that do clearly see the benefit to the top line resulting from higher conversions.
I'll note my point is that it is not just the gas that makes you want this. The amount of grease you will be putting on everything in the house is... hard to really appreciate.
Sorry you experienced that. FWIW this announcement from Wednesday should help address the problems you ran into:

That's heartening to hear, I'm a firm believer that the best way to eliminate these undesirable behaviors is to remove the financial incentive to do so. That said, as far as I can tell, this solution doesn't seem to get to what (in my completely layman understanding) is the heart of the problem, which is number spoofing. Even if every number is registered to an owner who has vetted their campaign with the carriers, if someone can "pretend" to be someone else's number, it seems to circumvent that whole system.

Really stressing that I have absolutely no knowledge of telephony networking, I think of this like IP spoofing. If this new system don't include some authentication credentials attached to each campaign, it doesn't seem to ensure that the entity sending a message/call from a given phone number is indeed the "owner" of that phone number.
This paper is not about grabbing most of the market etc and eventually making a profit. As the abstract quoted above says, it's about creating an illusion that this can be done so as to sell stock to a greater fool. Uber was quite successful at this, as were many others.

Really, from the pov of Travis Kalanick and the original funders, Uber is a fabulously successful business.

The original founders and the venture predators made their money. The professional execs at the top running the business now are also making lots of money. It doesn't matter to any of them what happens to competitors, employees and current shareholders.
QoS is sort of a last resort, since it works by basically breaking TCP intermittently (dropping ACK segments). Any time you can throttle further up the stack is ideal.
> Of course, that costs and fortune and hampers the sales of newer chipsets so it’s not in the SoC vendor’s interest to do so.

On the other hand, it would be in a lot of vendors' cost-saving interests to massively lobby for a (much more) stable in-kernel driver interface in the Linux kernel so that the vendors only rarely have to change their Linux drivers when a new kernel version gets released.
Better roads and drainage would solve that problem.
Most people don't seem to mind inequality (the difference between the lowest-earning and the highest-earning cohort) as long the average (or more likely the median) person is able to prosper and even grow wealthier over time.
Software development will be the last of the last jobs to be automated.

Take Shopify which makes it so you don't have to hire devs for your ecommerce store. A lot of custom work for ecommerce stores dried up, but then developers moved on to things that could not be automated. Let's say AI gets so good it can handle ALL types of web development tasks. The tools for AI would have to be extremely advanced, so much so that a normal web developer now has super-powers.

You might not think a web developer has the ability to automate a construction workers job... but in a future where AI is so good that web development is obsolete? Robotics frameworks would be as easy to use as React by then.

Of course there are many edge cases in automating the real world, and that's why you'll need hoards of developers to iterate, debug and customize robots coded using AI. The job won't involve typing code in an IDE anymore, so maybe you can question whether it is actual "development." But the only jobs left in the future will technical people who understand how software and AI works.
Cameras don't "generate" an image, if they didn't they'd have the same copyrightability issue that AI generators have. You should read Mannion.
