> It is literally in the culture to use plastic, for everything and to just dump/burn it everywhere.

I think this allocation of blame is unfair. I moved from a developing country - the plastic culture originated from the west. The difference is that developing world does not have the massive taxpayer funded garbage collection that is present in the west.
And does not have the rigorous fines for fly tipping. And cannot pay other developing countries, like Philippines, to illegally take our trash.

Westerns norms are to offload the trash problem onto the taxpayer - we just don't realise we are subsidizing PepsiCo. The problem is hidden. And in India/Vietnam/etc. the taxpayer can't afford this subsidy, so the problem is plain to see. But both societies suffer.

Once western industry adopts single use plastic everywhere, it is really difficult for a small developing country to avoid it. Firstly, half the products consumed in developing countries are produced by western companies, or designed by western companies and produced locally/in China, say Coke bottles.

Even if you consider local manufacturing, imagine you are starting local production of cheese or whatever. You are going to import western industrial machinery, that is setup to package things into plastic. You are going to hire western consultant to help you configure the production line. You will import western best practices. You might even have to import packaging materials.

This hasn't been the case for years.

Stack Overflow lost that claim when diamond mods refused to act upon not-an-answer flags that clearly didn't answer the question in any reading of the title or body of the question and the community of 10k users weren't able to delete it without accusations of targeted voting on an old positive scored question.

It's a nice ideal... but the uncurated, unverified, and clearly incorrect portion of Stack Overflow answer far outnumber the posts provided by people endeavoring to give correct answers.

It is necessary to moderate content as content and behavior as behavior. Trying to claim moderation of behavior based on content or content based on behavior gets to inconsistencies that are showing up with how both the moderations and the company are attempting to handle GPT content.

If content is correct and is assisted by an AI tool (GPT? Grammerly? something else? Does it matter?) removing it based on the content sends the wrong message.

Likewise, leaving content from someone who is not providing good answers because they are human sends the wrong message (anything is ok). https://stackoverflow.com/a/76402243 (it was edited to make the keys look neat rather than down voted where it doesn't even refer to the right programming tool... and yet, it is an attempt to answer and will likely remain because it was written by a human).
These are good observations on how to deal with managers and acquaintances. It’s more rewarding to invest your energy in close friends and family, although this doesn’t always come easily if you’ve recently moved to a new place.
IPFS isn't blockchain based. It's slowness is mostly because it is badly implemented.
> My bosses would disagree.

If they believe you are not doing real work, what it tells you about the fact they still supervise you? They are admitting that they are useless at their position and that trained pigeon would outperform them.
I mean sure, the situation isn't ideal, but so is being invaded by Russia.

The thing is, this exactly the logic that moved so many people in so many European countries (including, very close to the front of the pack, Ukraine itself) to seek either full or partial alliance with the German occupiers in the first place, back during that other conflict (which supposedly never really ended, according to what Putin is desperately trying to tell the world).

That, and again, the shitty optics and (unfortunately quite) tangible propaganda benefit for the other side.
This is honestly hilarious and amazingly well done. Really entertaining
There's the GBD proposal, and then there's the actual media tours by the GBD proponents, particularly on Fox, where COVID-19 was downplayed. Some of them famously wrote columns how there'd be maybe 10,000 fatalities and it was like the flu. Is it surprising that downplaying the virus also worked against spending huge amounts of money to protect the elderly? Like govt renting hotels to isolate elderly living with families? Or providing deliveries so they could stay at home?
> Histological classifications become less and less relevant

What do you mean by "histological classification" because every interpretation I can think of is very incorrect.
Really cool place. Wasn't expecting the love for the Fallout franchise.
This has been observed in dictionaries, atlases, street maps, and a few other mediums.
This is trivial for an AI to detect because if something appears just in one source, they won’t include it, but it appears in just as few as two, there is plausible deniability. Computers are very good at repetitive tasks such as a many-to-many search and will be able to identify the fictitious entry fairly trivially.

A point I've always found interesting is how the advent of the printing press was initially a massive boon to writers in the absence of copyright as books didn't keep their value for long so publishers need quite a large supply of new books to make a profit (some details listed in [1], ignore the NFT crap). I suppose this may no longer hold in a world where illegal copies can now spread in a matter of hours, if not minutes, but it's worth thinking about how copyright helps the publisher more than the creator of a work.

Well seeing as the Republican platform is "any election that we don't win is ipso facto fraudulent", I suppose that they had to make this change in order to avoid losing out on those sweet Republican ad dollars.
But there is no link to the book or the author. That's why I was confused.
I support violating copyright by any technical means necessary. I’d like to imagine a future where copyright may exist on the books but is not treated with any respect in civil society.
> I see no justification for copyright. I am effectively a writer: I write lecture notes, research articles and blog posts. I get paid without relying on copyright.

From the article. It seems like the author's position is that because his job as a professor means he gets paid independent of the distribution of the things he produces, copyright is irrelevant. Not so much that exclusive right to sell a work doesn't have monetary value, but that this guy makes money without having to take advantage of that value, so obviously nobody needs it.

I'm generally a believer in copyright reform and against bashing academics as out-of-touch, but people like this person make holding either position a real challenge sometimes.
These are all great examples of where it is debatable whether copyright is useful. But I think there are fairly clearly some much more difficult cases to dismiss so easily.

The biggest, strongest example is pharmaceuticals. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars to develop a new drug and get it through the approvals process. It costs almost nothing to copy the drug once its developed. Without the protection of copyright, nobody in their right mind would invest the money it takes to develop new pharmaceuticals.

There are lots of important debates to be had about how pharmaceutical companies game that system in practice, and whether or not we should tweak the rules to make that harder. However, it seems undeniable to me that pharmaceutical innovation would completely grind to a halt if copyright were abolished.
>I’m not a tenured professor with the ability to have this as my primary priority.

Can you see now why it's bad to assume things and engage in bad faith ad hominem?

>I’m a person who has kids and wants to know if they’re going to have a world to live in

They will. It will be different and might be worse. They won't have the same food, weather might harm them.

If you haven't written me off for my last comment, I rent a cottage on a small farm. On the land stands a sole american chestnut in a region where there was once billions. We have planted seedlings started from this tree. For what? The world didn't go away for this survivor, but the stress of the blight afflicts it and it will almost certainly take its young when they mature. Science has made it possible to bring the closest version of this tree back through genetic modification, but should it be done? I am of the mindset that yes, we should do that. Many will disagree. Should we keep trying to hybridize it with foreign species, or should we let it fade into the fossil record? There's no consensus so national policy hasn't changed.

I bring this up because I do notice, I see the changes in the world around me but I as an individual only have the power to struggle on my own to adapt to them. Do you understand that it's not a lack of my caring, but a fatigue of hearing the same 'worse this year' reporting that there's not much point in discussing?
Thanks, I know this article was not for everybody, so I appreciate knowing that some people liked it!
To be clear, it's a good article as far as it goes and I appreciate you sharing it, but it's incredibly frustrating to me when people in our field come right up to the edge of criticizing capitalism and then just back off.

Enshittification isn't limited to tech; it happens to just about everything in a capitalist society, because it benefits capital.

We have to move past this economic model.
> do accept (some concept of) copyright

No, they observe that there are laws called copyright laws, and people will hit you with sticks and drag you to a locked room and leave you there for years if you ignore those laws.

Copyleft is a way of using copyright to force people to copy things that they don't even want to copy.
For context, I was 13 walking door to door asking neighbors if I could rake their yards. Fall was money. Same thing in winter with shoveling snow.
A handful of Russian right wingers larping as Nazis is not equivalent to the threat of Nazi Germany. Besides, the Russian occupation forces are doing a far more realistic and faithful impression of the SD / Waffen SS themselves with all the mass graves, torture and forced disappearances. They even have the deportation thing down as well.
I find this a super interesting topic: My prediction is that we will eventually see a huge backlash against this copyright whitewashing. I think the current status quo is unacceptable but I fear the upcoming legislation will throw out the baby with the bathwater.
What I actually _want_ is a range extended EV: that is

1. Capable of driving ~100km on a charge, with a fully electric drive train

2. A small (~20hp) internal combustion engine + generator able to charge the batteries while driving.

This would allow me to do 95%+ of my trips in full EV mode while keeping the battery quite small, and when I want to go long distance I still can.

Most plug in hybrids are designed with the internal combustion engine as an integral part of the drivetrain which isn't really what I'm after as it means even if you only use the car for short trips you will still sometimes start the engine.

EDIT: I should add to this, the Volt is definitely the closest to what I'm after but it's not available in my country (Australia) and probably never will be.

It's actually interesting how they do it. The new and old Reddit seems surprisingly similar in how they handle at least the initial page loads.

> And once you login, scraping will earn a ban. Reddit is also very over zealous with IP bans.

Argh, that would suck. Not as bad as losing my Twitter but still. That said, they explicitly say in their API docs "We're happy to have API clients, crawlers, scrapers, and browser extensions". So at one point in time they were happy to allow scrapers.
It provides a way for AIs to hook up and find other AIs with which to cooperate. That's going to be interesting.
> That’s an interesting point you made.

> If in the US we tie flexibility of labor laws to nationalizing healthcare, can we actually get some real traction on the latter while giving an actual safety net yo the former?

Based on past performance it will be the most likely that only "flexibility of labor laws" part will pass through Congress, while healthcare part will be dead on arrival.
Homeownership only has value because it's effectively (buy-in) rent control. Without rent being too expensive, there's no real need for homeownership. It's actually a negative when you consider reduced mobility and the cost of selling.

I strongly recommend that you revise your post - the 'original' arguments in favour of free speech date back to the 5th century BC.

"Freedom of speech and expression has a long history that predates modern international human rights instruments.[6] It is thought that the ancient Athenian democratic principle of free speech may have emerged in the late 6th or early 5th century BC.[7]

Freedom of speech was vindicated by Erasmus and Milton.[6] Edward Coke claimed freedom of speech as "an ancient custom of Parliament" in the 1590s, and it was affirmed in the Protestation of 1621.[8] England's Bill of Rights 1689 legally established the constitutional right of freedom of speech in Parliament which is still in effect, so-called parliamentary privilege.[9][10]"

My first thought as soon as I saw the title. It is the name of a Dreamcast emulator, however; as far as I know it is mainly free and offers some sort of cheap upgrade for certain features.

> See comma that still hasn't produced anything.

What are you talking about? They actually shipped a product that has over 90 million miles driven, blowing past all competitors apart from Tesla. You can buy the product today, hook it up to your care and get a better lane assist than pretty much every other car company ships. Plus they're profitable. Compare that to dozens of self-driving startups that are basically vaporware or outright frauds.

You can dislike the guy but you're delusional if you brush off comma.ai as not having produced anything.
this kind of thing propagates through media too, star trek and the last of us come to mind as recent shows with “mycelium networks” and they of course don’t need to be accurate but it doesn’t
> "This is something the international community can and should help with."

I agree. As it's an issue that affects all of humanity, every human everywhere who can contribute to solutions of all kinds in some positive way should be willing to do so, and those who can't contribute in a positive way should just get the hell outta the way and stop interfering with those who can and will. I never understood how any human could bring themselves to fight back against changes that benefit literally everyone (including themselves), yet that's exactly what we've had ever since "climate change" became a political issue more than an existential issue for most people.

It's also something the fossil fuels companies who are the primary source of the problem should be forced to help with, since they've profited so greatly from their lies and actions, and since they've made it crystal clear they won't willingly do anything to even start to clean up the mess they've made. They should be required to invest some (rather large) percentage of their ill-gotten profits directly into sustainable energy technology transition. I'd even be entirely fine with them earning some share of profit back off those new sustainable technologies if the investments they made were large enough to really move things along hella quicker'n they're currently going.
> For some reason non-native speakers

Here's where it gets even better as a slavic person – when I say "This is okay, but have you thought about flaws A, B, and C?" it means that your idea is so good that it's worthy of critique. To an American it sounds like I just started a scorched earth campaign against their ego.
> Many platforms also have secrets scanning to ensure you don't accidentally do this too.

The reason secrets scanning even became a thing is because of how often secrets get committed to git. Some of them even lead to intrusions.

Uber (2016) – Attackers gained unrestricted access to Uber’s private Github repositories, found exposed secrets in the source code, and used them to access millions of records in Amazon S3 buckets.

Scotiabank (2019) – Login credentials and access keys were left exposed in a public GitHub repo.

Amazon (2020) – Credentials including AWS private keys were accidentally posted to a public GitHub repository by an AWS engineer.

Symantec – Looking at hardcoded AWS keys in mobile apps, discovered they had a much wider permissions scope and led to a significant data leakage.

GitHub – Over 100K public repositories on GitHub were found to contain access tokens.

I've worked at companies with developers who didn't know that once committed, the secret remains in the history even if a subsequent commit removes it. It's not trivial, and involves rewriting the history[1]. There's also no way to fix clones of the repo, and there are a handful of other ways secrets can still leak.

The most secure way to deal with secrets accidentally committed to git is to rotate the secret.

At my community college, the third semester of a three semester general physics course needed a new textbook, even though it covered substantially the same material. The prof explained why: his friends wrote this book. He was the only professor who taught the third course. That really prepared me for the experience once I transferred to a university.

A handful of Russian right wingers larping as Nazis is not equivalent to the threat of Nazi Germany.

Look, it's objectively stupid and inflammatory, in any conflict, to not just send people over the border to do whatever business you want them to do -- but to send people with either (1) highly questionable ties (2) doing stupid provocative shit, and (3) at the same time when you're attempting to claim plausible deniability - using the wrong weapons.

Examples abound in recent and less-recent history. And it doesn't matter how small they are in terms of headcount. The bottom line is that it (at best) works against your stated goals, and at worst - can counteract these goals entirely.

Besides, the Russian occupation forces are doing a far more realistic and faithful impression of the SD / Waffen SS themselves with all the mass graves, torture and forced disappearances.

Damn right they are. But rather then do something to stop that - these tactics simply enable them to brainwash their own public further, and convince them of the "regrettable necessity" of the special operation which they ... keep insisting they were forced to undertake.
> you can send abuse requests to people's ISPs

In practice it's very rare for me to see a direct ipfs protocol link, almost all the traffic goes through HTTP gateways (which frequently cache the content as well). Hard to imagine that they don't become a target for "hosting" pirated content if / when IPFS becomes more than a negligible platform for piracy. (A significant amount of Library Genesis traffic is already using IPFS via these same gateways.)

As you mention, there's a DMCA process for some of the gateways, but that might not be enough to ward off attention.
If I had the opportunity to stop working and keep being paid half or third of my salary, that would be an interesting consideration, where I'd probably work but work less, and I know people who'd do differently in both directions; the doctors would still keep their patients, but some struggling people would stop working for pay and work on their dependents (both kids and elderly/sick parents).

The whole point of UBI is that it keeps incentives for working, as most people - especially the most valuable employees - do want much more than a basic income, - and also supports partial employment (as opposed to things like means-tested welfare). What it would change the most is the situation regarding "shit jobs" which are both poorly paid and undesirable; and if the desperate workers get some alternatives, then these jobs would have to pay more, improve conditions, or not get done if they aren't that needed; and that seems a good effect to me.
> One example she gives is math class: In France, students are taught to calculate pi as a class before using it in a formula.

As a French, I don't think I ever calculated pi, we were just handed the formulas and told to use it and I don't think I saw an exercise on how to calculate pi for a few years (or maybe I didn't saw it at school...)
This seems similar to a lot of "automation" concern - it helps consumers but you're still cutting a lot of jobs. I think we need a better social safety net before we can truly see the benefits of improving production chains. Otherwise you're mainly going to see people justifying existing jobs (as has historically been the case)
It doesn't explain why GPUs that are integrated into a CPU (like AMD's ones) and use the same memory, cannot use it all.

If they could use all memory, you could cheaply run neural networks with 64Gb of RAM without buying a professional GPU. No wonder manufacturers don't want you to be able to do that.
You can’t quit when you’re in an experiment that will end. Unless payments are for life, the experiments of UBI are invalid.
