Yup, it's not unique to the Soviet union, the Soviet union is just a particularly salient example. I wouldn't have anything like Trotsky being edited out at hand for the us.

How will we verify photos and videos without dissolving in to endless speculation? I’m genuinely asking as this is something I’ve been worried about for a while.

The only thing I can think of is storing a hash or “phash” with a trusted third party that can then be used to later verify which image is the original. For video, store the hash/phash of the frames with timestamps. But would that even work? How do you back-verify that something was captured at a specific time when the device was offline during capture?
Maybe some Arduino/Raspberry Pi hardware would also be a good platform?
Well bummer.

I'll be applying for a refund.
You can file as 'Married, filing separately', at least in the US. We considered it last year, but jointly ended up saving us a bit of money in our situation (I was surprised, I assumed based on something in our circumstance I don't remember offhand that it would be the other way around).
This caught my attention:

"If you are reading this article, you are probably considered an extremist by the US National Security Agency, as happened to the readers of Linux Journal."

While I doubt the validity of the claim, at least nowadays they have plenty of real extremists to watch out for.
Imagine satellite aiming is off and we have death ray zapping people.
Some people are moody, i.e. emotionally unstable, so it's just a coin toss as to what kind of interaction you're going to have with them. Dealing with them successfully involves a tedious routine of 'taking their temperature'. It's really more pleasant to deal with a consistently grouchy person than a bipolar type, as you always know what to expect.

The truly manipulative sociopathic type is rarer but they're the ones who behave that way deliberately in an effort to control others, keep them off balance, influence their behavior and so on. A classic example is the 'secret-gatherer' whose friendly outreaches are designed to gather compromising information which can be leaked at some opportune moment, aka 'the blackmailer'. Thankfully most people aren't like this, but identifying the ones who are and avoiding them like the plague is a valuable life skill.
I corrected the means by which the president is chosen (it’s a vote by the electoral college so it wasn’t completely incorrect to say vote though). Thanks for mentioning that.

I don’t think I agree with your other points. But I do hope your optimism pans out because right now things feel bleak.
>I mean rsa 2048 can be currently broken in 104 days

With what hardware? I've been CONSTANTLY trying to break Hermes2 ransomware (which uses RSA2048) for almost a solid decade.
It will probably do both of those things through autonomous weapons systems and through disinformation.

Some doors were maybe better left unopened, we opened this one. Let's see how it goes.
I use EasyEffects constantly (and have since it was called PulseEffects) to compress and limit the dynamic range of what comes out my speakers.

So much content is made with low voices and incredibly loud effects, and if I turn it up to where I can understand the speech, everything else just blasts me. But with a compressor and limiter in the chain, I can turn it up as much as I need, and the loud moments are simply not that loud.

Lack of this capability on my phone is the main reason I don't consume videos or streams there -- the audio engineering is just beyond terrible. For the moment, desktop is the only place I have the tools to fix it, so desktop is where I listen.
None of those things actually enhance the website. The only time people "use" them is by accident.
I'm just finishing interventional radiology training and I moonlight as a diagnostic radiologist (not to mention having an undergrad/master's in computer science).

Almost 90% of the diagnostic studies I read could be pre-drafted by AI. That's where the money is and where AI-in-radiology companies should focus. The money is not in detecting hemorrhage or pulmonary embolism. It's a classic fallacy to think that life-saving means money-saving. Rather, the money in radiology is reads per day.

Here's a user story: A private practice radiologist reads 20 abdomen and pelvis CT scans with contrast per day. In each of these studies, he must write a short description of each organ. For example, "Gall bladder: Unremarkable" or "Gallbladder: Cholecystitis without evidence of cholecystitis" or "Gallbladder: Dependent sludge." There are around 15 such organs (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, kidneys, etc.). The AI should auto-populate the radiologist report with an appropriate description of each organ system.

The job of the radiologist is to confirm what the AI says in each section, and to go into further detail as needed. It's essentially just customizing the existing template to each patient. This type of pre-drafting is exactly what radiology residents do and what companies like vRad do.
I'm 99% sure this was written by some flavour of GPT.
It's highlighted in this article briefly, particularly the section about integration: One cannot win the AI product arms race without a core solution to a real problem. This is why most "winners" currently, are either the ones with dominant control over access to AI (those who rent out hardware to use expensive AI, access to easy to use AI - basically google and microsoft for both categories lol). The next winners are those who control access to integral data needed for AI to be useful in that niche.

Everyone else is running around with a hammer, desperately looking for a 2x4. Applying it anywhere and everywhere hoping it does something, but I reckon for most of them if they were to do a cost analysis in the next ~5 years they'll have noticed how costly it was and how little it changed for their core solution.

The heavy hitters and potential big winners (outside of the above noted gatekeepers) are still yet to come thankfully.
Not the author of the above post, but happy to answer:

- Essential functionality shoved into some sub-hamburger-menu because it "didn't fit the design".

- Low information density

- Pointless cruft like animated menus and hero images + resource intensive pseudo-minimalism, where the app/page/whatever, despite the low information density, somehow still manages to load ungodly amounts of data, or eats tons of resources, or both.

- The latter point contributing to the situation where we have apps that run worse on 2022 hardware, than apps in the early 90s did on a Pentium I. I know that design isn't solely to blame for this, but it certainly played a part.

- Circumventing OS or browser default functionality. Example: Webpages that hijack the onscroll event. I use my mousewheel to scroll, not to advance through whatever the designer thought was a must-see presentation about their companies "values".

- Smooth UX breaking down the instant the user leaves the happy path. Trying to setup an account? Easy. Trying to change the auth method to MFA? A hellride.

- Modals. Modals everywhere

- Everything trying to look like a smartphone app, no matter the viewing device. I have a high resolution screen and a high precision pointing device in front of me. Why are half the webpages and many apps presenting buttons the size of texas?

- Super smart designs causing the page layout to change after it's loaded. Nothing more fun than to accidentially click the wrong thing and then having to reload the previous page because the layout changed under my thumb.

- Next to zero configurability.

Apps are tools. Webpages are tools. I am not starting a program to look at it's amazing design, same as I don't pick up a hammer to marvel at the color choice of the handle. I pick up a hammer to hammer at nails. If I get the impression that the process of picking the handle-color was getting more attention than the process of making a good, sturdy, serviceable and reliable hammer, then I will not use that hammer.
You can make a distinction between empirical truths and things (often claims) that are right and wrong. The former has no 'history'; while the latter is contextual and tied up in the practice and expression of reasons, which is to say, it is essentially historical and cultural.

That's really all that postmodern thought says really. Naturally, for a government to be right or wrong, requires that citizens be critical of it, almost actively antagonistic in their demands for reasons, evidence (be it empirical or otherwise) and clarification. Postmodern thought is a critical tool. So that's not that different than what we have right now (most of HN for instance is hyper-critical of nearly all government truth claims), only the demands on citizens are likely outpacing their resources and abilities.
It could just as well be an improvement that makes people smarter, because they will learn not to just believe what they see/hear/read.

Instead, they will have to learn to identify good explanations and rule out bad explanations.
I agree that it looks bad close-up, but then if you think about the gameplay in that area, you are mostly just walking around and talking to other inmates and not doing much sneaking there, so you aren't up close with the edges at ground level, because you are mostly upright. I remember that area feeling very sandy while I was playing it so I guess the goal was achieved.

This seems like a signal that it’s the beginning of the end. We all knew popularity would be their demise.

Hopefully a competitor will start up and attract less attention for a while until we have to do it all over again.
Yeah this seems to make sense. You should have a CTO and CPO is also logical. If your startup is growing fast you should be changing the structure regularly and be ready to adapt to the change.

Thanks for sharing your experiences! It's a bittersweet feeling for me to look back at how I refused a traditional education having known only a fraction of what you do.

My observation is that the base M.O. of academic-corporate apparatus is for any given transaction to be at least a low-level scam. Unless a business is a family mom-and-pop store making fresh pastries at a reasonable price, just expect anything being sold to you to involve some amount of shenanigans. The system leaks and misallocates currency so badly that ripoffs are the only way to get ahead. To have more subscribers, simply make canceling subscriptions confusing and time consuming. If the CEO wants a third home on Martha's Vineyard, he has the cooks use the same amount of pizza dough for the large as for the medium. You want that car at a reasonable price? Be prepared to have features that have been basic to vehicles for decades crumble apart after 80k miles. Don't forget that you can't put a price on education, so use that "good debt" to buy a bunch of paper weights you'll only read 10% of, and expect to be a "self learner" because important people like professors and corporate vice presidents don't have time to do their jobs. If they let you subvert the system, it's just because they know you need to "hit the ground running." Don't ask, don't tell!

If dishonesty and swindling were somehow eliminated from the economy, the entire system would collapse. People must fail for others to win, and the system can only grow and replicate if it can create more failures, but not so much failure that the losers have nothing left to lose.

> Imagine what people who have no experience and no college have to deal with.

Hell, even with experience, employers by default assume that you are the one misleading them, despite many if not most job ads containing overt dishonesty. It works out for them if they can convince candidates that they are all at least somewhat inferior compared to it, and many fall for that. Someone will take that low paying dev job, especially given how few opportunities that seem to be for junior devs now in contrast to when I got started.
White collar workers, the ones who went to college and studied, will be the first to be unemployed. I'm guessing that these people are more employable than the rest of the population since they dedicated themselves to studying in college versus the ones who mess around in life.
Most Indians were never secular. Before, they hadn’t got a voice or representation. BJP came into power by tapping into the latent sentiment in majority of Indians.

It's much like how Trump was elected.

If you think that majority of Indians were ever secular, I think that you never left the bubble of upper middle class, city based society.

Hindus are, generally much more advanced than Muslim in terms of education, finances, etc. and couldn’t be bothered to cause communal violence because they have much more to lose. And the ones that are left behind, didn't have a uniting force. BJP/RSS has accomplished that.

The people lynching Muslim for eating beef are very rural, very uneducated Hindus with much less to lose. And the rest of them openly support them.

I will say, 80-95% of Hindus were never ever secular. BJP is creating new zealots now, but they didn't need to do so to come to power.

CSS has come a long way, I would expect that these things would be ease to achieve with just CSS and HTML, for instance: media viewer -> dialog (I remember this being a HTML thing), collapsing sections -> details/summary (?)

I can't bother with ideas to productize this generation of AIs. But holly molly, imagine what anybody could do with an army of tireless, cheap, highly competent intellectual workers. It will be the end of the world as we know it.
Because no one is talking about that. So I'm assuming nothing, I'm simply using the information that I have. It is weird to not mention that.
> If you don’t think it’s appropriate just don’t let your own children get their hands on it.

Society doesn't allow it. Porn operators get into legal trouble for allowing access to kids. Movie theatre operations get into serious trouble for allowing kids in to see movies they are not supposed to.

Your argument of "let the kids have everything and make the parents perform the restrictions" is so stupid it's literally never been tried.

> I’m actually not that invested in ideology or whatever.

I find that hard to believe, considering

a) you reacting to an "age-appropriate material" argument being no different from a reaction to "no sex ed" argument.

and

b) what you are proposing, in general, has literally never been successful before. ALL societies places restrictions on kids whether their parents like it or not. Some are more restrictive and some are less, but they all have restrictions exclusively for children.
Yes, although the important question here is how much of this can be attributed to UXR and not the roles it works alongside? It's one the article struggles with answering, and I expect why most businesses are trimming UXR teams as much as they can.
Would be great if they just came out and said it, instead of this passive aggressive nonsense.
Alternatively, it could be our fault for creating a world in which that fast growth in knowledge is required. We didn't have to pursue technologies that make the centralization of power and control easier and easier.
So this may be useful to someone - I lost that genetic lottery and had lots of issues / most teeth patched up / painful cleans. Until recently, when I moved to a new dentist who said "oh, you've got lots of calcium buildup, you should be taking vit D+K2". This sorted out most of my issues almost immediately. I wish someone told me that 30 years ago...

So apparently there's a few things that trivially impact your dental health besides usual cleaning and few people seem to know about them.
You lost me at haggling.

This will catch almost TOS updates… I think
In no specific order: the new Proton UI, Pocket, overemphasizing Mozilla's VPN, innocuously-sounding by sometimes privacy-invasive 'studies', automatic updates, the archane method of disabling automatic updates despite having a built-in configuration UI, having to restart the browser in the middle of my workflow due to automatic updates I did not want in the first place. In general, I get the feeling that Mozilla has adopted Reddit's business model of trashing their product by contuously fixing what isn't broken.
I don't find the example right now, but you can give AIs just some pixels they would classify as dog or whatever. A human would only classify something that has the attributes of a dog as a dog. That's a difference from corner cases and unclear dress examples

"If you want to compare fairly, you'd have to do so with a human that's never spoken to anyone, never seen anything but 2D pictures on a screen in front of them and hasn't been told or shown anything about the world they live in since they were born"

And this is not what is happening with AIs. They get fed with data that sums up more than a single human lifespan.

", but still even more elaborate tests like ones for say, math or physics that have you write the entire procedure don't really test if you understand the underlying principles"

And this is not true, except for high school tests. You certainly can test for understanding, by not giving generic problems, but where you have to apply your knowlege. And sure those were the most hated tests, as they required actual understanding and you could nvot weasel through. But they also created more work for teachers, so mosts tests were just the generic have you learned the algorithm tests. And if testing in person, you can go deep.
It was an anti-signal before.
> The textbook view of the American economy is that it's free market competition. Companies are fighting it out. Different toothpaste companies are trying to sell you different toothpaste and it's a largely competitive market. Every once in a while there's an externality that requires government intervention and then you get these weird things like the "too big to fail" banks, but those are exceptions.

> I can tell you my experience, having been now in startups for 30 years, is that the opposite is true. James Burnham was right. We passed from the original model of capitalism, which he called bourgeois capitalism, into a different model, which he called managerial capitalism, some decades back. And the actual correct model of how the U.S. economy works is basically big companies forming oligopolies, cartels, and monopolies and doing all the things that you expect oligopolies, cartels, and monopolies to do. And then they jointly corrupt and capture the regulatory and government process. They end up controlling their regulators.

Made me think of Thiels “competition is for losers”
I take an authentic image with a camera, crop out the part of it that it's not aligned with my goals, put a reference to the authentic image. How do you get the authentic image to compare it with my edit?

And how do you solve the problem of a powerful entity telling you that the cropped image is authentic, or there will be consequences? People know what's going on, they bend for fear of breaking. No technology is changing that.
"Lets optimize for mobile" with the implications that come with it, e.g. extra snooping and dark patterns, while simultaneously leading to a shit desktop experience.

Once the gold rush has hit the newspapers, don't go digging for gold. Sell shovels instead.
It definitely looks worse and unnatural, because in real life we don't see rocks or trees gradually morph into the ground on a gradient (unless we're on drugs). Where it looks better is in motion, when the harsh rigid angles would otherwise show off their jagged pixels. This blend technique is used where your eyes are hopefully not focused. If only seen in your periphory, the effect is quite nicely done.
I like a green checkmark next to a photo better than giving more power to whoever you think should be the one determining and enforcing those consequences.
> to the extent that our user agents aren’t meeting our needs, improve them rather than work around them.

Most of us are in no position to improve our user agents only large organizations like Google or Mozilla can do that. In fact calling them user agents is extremely misleading in most cases.

If they were genuinely user agents they would obey the user not the server. They would assist the user to a much greater degree than they do now; for instance there is no native way of saving the rendered page in either Firefox or Chrome so sharing a page is exceptionally difficult if the URL points at a resource that require logging in and also risks that the resource changes before the recipient can read it. One has to install an add on to do that and hope that the author doesn't get bored of maintaining it or piss off the Chrome Store or whatever it is called.
Ok, this is not entirely true.

- India is the fastest growing large economy in the world

- inflation is under control

- The infrastructure spend is the largest ever. There's construction everywhere.

- life expectancy is significantly up

Of course there are issues, but it's a mixed bag. Not all religion.

Playing whack-a-mole with technologies that have fundamental risks baked into the system itself seems like a losing game. We're inventing new technologies simply because we can, ignoring and papering over the social impact, then chasing even more complex solutions to the new problems created.
I played them the other way round (well Cyberpunk, then Human Revolution and then Mankind) and had the same feeling. Cyberpunk is enormous but relatively hollow in comparison to both in my opinion.
Physics will stay the same no matter how hard we wish.

Mining the asteroids is an activity where payback periods are measured in decades, plural. Space is big. Rockets are slow, and so are orbits.
Metaprogramming can do the opposite: make obscure, complicated and lengthy code much more readable and easier to maintain. It’s clear when it does this.

Agree that “clever code” is silly but also important to remember that people need to entertain themselves and “grow professionally.” People get paid more if they write the 15 line pipe and it’s job security. Maybe gpt will help since it’s a lot better to have gpt write easy to debug for loops, but then programming will be less fun. People need to entertain themselves.
Why would diversity necessarily be associated with leftism?
1) First of all, state shouldn't involve in any type of religious activities let alone giving priority to one particular religion. It's written in the Constitution and it's the base for any modern society(Especially US's First Amendment). You should foresee the consequences of this. What if a muslim PM get elected in the long future and he invites all Islamic priests?

2) Yes, you have mentioned some of the things that India did on secular grounds. But that doesn't refute the present context. Still wrong doings are happening. Instead of focusing on those, should we remember all the past events and be silent?

3) Islam invades Hindus, then let's Hindus mob-lynch Muslims. Always stuck in who slaughters who. No progress towards right secular habits.
