>Some people actually like uniforms.

I'm one of them, but perhaps not for the reason you'd expect.
People tend to forget that uniforms offer a form of protection.

When I was in the military, my commanding officer was an extremely competent man, the likes of which I had never seen before and only rarely seen since. One day, I saw him leaving the base in his civilian clothes, and did a double-take. Here was a man in his early 40's dressed like an overgrown teenager: bleach-faded jeans, an oversized branded tee, flat brimmed hat (labels & holographic stickers still attached), etc. To put it bluntly, he looked like a punk. Had he shown up to work in that attire, and given me orders, it would have been an uphill battle for him to earn my respect.

I exercise a lot of caution when judging people's appearance, and I've long understood that each of us also harbors a degree of unconscious judgement. But this episode forced me to come to terms with the sheer magnitude of that unconscious influence, and with the fantasy that we can rid ourselves of it without sacrificing some amount of individuality. I've come to the conclusion that some degree of uniformity--perhaps just a dress code--can serve to facilitate the upward mobility of the disadvantaged. It's not perfect, but I think it's a whole lot better than today's "anything goes" standards.

All I can say is that IF there ever is an irrefutable visitation from an alien civilization in the future, it will be shit-show that will never end.

I have zero confidence that any government or their populace will be able to handle that realization without going completely bonkers. We simply can't handle it as a civilization. For every sane person who is curious and wants to interact positively with the artifact/being there will be a dozen different types of maniacs out to destroy whatever it is.

And if you believe that governments reflect the neurosis of their people, it fundamentally impossible for any government to deal with something like this rationally.
Unsure why folks are hating on you. I have had hereditary high BP since I was 13. I was underweight at that point. I was never overweight until COVID. COVID launched me from a normal weight into 'obese' territory pretty fast, but I am now a 'normal' BMI with 9.5% body fat.
Then again.. Siri is all on device. I don’t want to send my voice anywhere
Perhaps people simply aren't prepared to accept the implications of the government lying about this - as well as successfully covering it up - for so long. It's a big impact to a persons world view.
As if the skyrocketing rate of anxiety, depression and self-harm that started with the release of the iPhone and Facebook weren't bad enough, now we're going to mediate human relationships even more immersively through silicon and megacorps. Mass alienation is rat poison for civilization.

You're using "cognitive mimicry" to deride AI, but isn't that the best way to augment our intelligence - by mimicking it?

More to your point: profound doesn't really just mean "deep" in this context, but even if it does, I don't see how LLMs in their current state (with some better UX) don't do that. Sure you can't ask it to guess your deepest inner beliefs, but engaging with an LLM in a dialogue can greatly speed up deep, focused knowledge work, such as brainstorming ideas, structuring writing, investigating hypothesis, etc.

In short, I think it's more than a bit misguided to say AI only has shallow benefits because it's not yet capable of extremely deep thoughts on its own.

>All of this stuff reeks of some kind of psyop.

Ugh, I was 100% with you until this point. This is speculative, fantastical, and I think serves to discredit the sober and calm pushback of the type exhibited in the first half of your comment. And that is desperately needed in a moment like this.

Probably the Spanish-Indian interactions were quite like the interactions of the Romans with the Germanic tribes across the Rhine. In both cases the occupying force didn't press further, due to unfavourable geography, but the tribesmen were well aware that the occupiers weren't going to go away, so arrangements had to be made.

It's no wonder that the Native Americans of the Southwest adopted the horse, seeing how useful it is, and then it spread quickly throughout the continent.
While the autopilot doesn't understand out of fuel it does understand angle of attack and shouldn't depart controlled flight in an effort to maintain altitude. Or perhaps the autopilot doesn't know what to do and turns off.

> I don't consider well north of $100billion and climbing to be a pittance.

You may not but the west does, the US is spending less then 10% of its yearly military budget and is mostly giving Ukraine stuff that was going go be replaced soon anyway.

> a negotiated peace. Tricky given all of the times the US has betrayed Russian trust over the last ten years. The only plausible route feels like a massive neutral DMZ (probably everything east of the Dnipro) administered by a BRICS led UN peace keeping force.

Why should Ukraine trust a negotiated peace with a country who already has multiple international agreements to not invade them?.

Ukraine already has a negotiated peace agreement with Russia it’s called the Budapest memorandum it didn’t stop them invading in 2014 or 2022.

All a negotiated peace does is allow Russia to rearm itself and try and grab more land.

We have tried appeasing Putin in the past when the west did nothing about what happened in Georgia, Chechnya and in Ukraine in 2014.

Appeasement doesn’t work, the only thing Russia understands is force so the only way this works out well for the rest of world is if they suffer a huge defeat.

I don’t see this working unless the DMZ starts on Russias side of the pre 2014 border.

> Hugely embarrassing for the West and NATO, but would end the killing and devastation and allow us to concentrate on the real threat of climate change.

If you want to really end these threats then get Russia to leave Ukraine. But I have a feeling you don’t want that to happen.
Same. Working around the issues with SVG sometimes takes as long as rewriting parts of SVG from scratch.

It’s not an SVG problem so much as Canvas and SVG are not reconciled into one bigger rendering system, so when you hit an edge case that requires breaking outside out of SVG, you have no path.
A) no one (sane) is recommending that we don't have teachers. I suppose you didn't grow up around those with wealth, who give their children massive advantages with focused, targeted, extensive 1:1 tutoring.

B) Who trains the human teachers? I don't think I need to cite any sources for the claim that many, many people in our society are already concerned about excessive uniformity and political brainwashing in our schools. I mean, just look to the nature of religious education in most of U.S. as a perfect example of completely AI-free objective brainwashing.

But your case isn't a null, but rather horribly poor accuracy.
Yes, but when you go and search your garage you don’t find anything.

You walk through your garage with a camera and when you play back the video, there’s a strange orb on the video!

Must be dragons!

It’s stupid. When you look very hard for something and you dont find it, sure, it’s not evidence it doesn’t exist.

…but it does increase the probability that it doesn’t exist. It eliminates a category of possible “it existing” cases.

Everyone on the planet has a high resolution camera in their pocket, and can share photos and videos instantly online.

Yet, miraculously, paranormal phenomena is somehow covered up by the government…

50 years ago, the possibility of an alien crash coverup seems plausible.

Today, it beggars belief it could happen and not be noticed and commented on.

That is not proof nothing “weird” exists; but if you think it doesn’t eliminate a broad category of things from existing, you’re delusional.

Humans are good at believing in things that don’t exist.

What we see isn’t “reality”, its just our interpretation of the input from our senses. We see things that don’t exist.

That doesn’t make them exist.
The things you've described do not require react.

"There is no running away from reddit, facebook, twitter."

Maybe speak for yourself?

I rather see the problem with money. It costs a lot to develope a stable communication plattform and run it. Decentralizing is even harder to do right.

But people expect things to be free on the internet and just working. Those who donate and put in effort are a small minority.

So this is why reddit will only be replaced by the next reddit financed by ad tech, that will act exactly the same in a few years. Unless people will start to take the base of their communication and information flow serious. Maybe this is a good start, but lemmy really does not seem to be an adequate technical alternative in its current shape.

Congrats from Recursion Venture Capital. Excited to be part of this journey!
I agree. Unfortunately, the body is ultimately the vessel of ideas, and can be crushed. But we currently have enough democratic institutions in influential nations that populations can use new knowledge tools for themselves, and their decisions will directly influence policymaking through elections.

The mechanisms are in place. Despotism (arguably) doesn't currently have the upper hand in the world, let's keep it that way.

That's not a bad approximation but consider that we did have computers being used in anger (to kill people, even) very shortly after, where are the quantum computers today?

for the first time, all essential components of the much later steam engine were assembled by one technological culture

Though comments here indicate they lacked sufficient metallurgy.

It makes me think of the wolf riders books. A series about "elves" that are basically descendants from a crashed alien ship and there are two groups of them, forming a mini civilization.

Humans seem endlessly fascinated with the question of what is the minimum viable product to make civilization as we know it? or something along those lines. That seems to be a basic impetus behind a lot of dystopian/post-disaster stories. It seems to be a means to strip away a lot of current social stuff and imagine a world with fewer people where someone -- or a few people -- with the right knowledge can create a more civilized microcosm by keeping some of our achievements while largely eliminating the hell is other people parts.

On the flip side is Kyle in Terminator saying "I didn't build the fucking thing!" in exasperation, a scene with seemingly broad appeal, like it hits a nerve for a lot of people.

And maybe we should be wondering in more practical, real world terms about the technological MVP for civilization. Like if you were a bit of a luddite, how would you arrange a comfortable existence where you could understand a lot of the essential tech required to sustain the lifestyle to which you've become accustomed.
So I will be able to copy-paste some string from my password manager to my browser in order to complete the passkey handshake? Or does this mean that my password manager must support my browser of choice on my platform of choice with some opaque plugin that cannot be disabled (eg, 1pw on macos today)?
Apple is doing exactly that. They’ve already shipped stuff written that way. I think the Secure Enclave code is now Swift.

I’m pretty sure they have extra stuff on top at the moment to help them write ultra-strong/safe code that the released language doesn’t support directly yet.

But they are moving in that direction. Just because most people use Swift as a language where they don’t have to worry about memory allocation and with the large standard library doesn’t mean that’s all it can do.
That setup is freakin' awesome! I love the "get it done" energy behind going out and getting more than a dozen smart locks to test your work. None of these smart lock vendors would be motivated to build an API + test against their competitors' products.

Why does it need to be a mental illness? Could just be gullible.
declarations are promises to the compiler. You're saying you've off-loaded all the heavy type checking and done a better job of it yourself, and your results should be used. So whether things are sound depends on your personal type system, and the sanitization of inputs to the whole thing so that your assumptions are met.
No it's really not fantastical. We have no physical evidence of extraterrestrials but we do have physical evidence that the CIA engages in sometimes ridiculous operations to psychologically manipulate people. I mean if you told someone the CIA did mind control experiments in the 60s they'd think your nuts. But we know today with certainty they did, often with tragic consequence.

So, the bayesian priors, given that in the course of humanity or even prehistorically there is no certain evidence of aliens, and plenty of evidence of weirdo government manipulation and innumerable examples of propaganda, should be skewed in the favor of any new fantastical governmental claim to be yet another silly operation by some three letter agency.

Until someone procures a body or craft of certain non human origin, this is the only reasonable course of action.
That's a harder argument to make at a moment when Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, with its explosion of ethnic diversity, is so well received by comparison.
> When intelligent beings can simply be replicated at zero cost and have no expiration, what are children even learning for?

This is probably the most depressing thing I've read all year. And it's been a rough year. I hope you just had a "brain-fart" as the kids say, but if not: I implore you to think of the purpose of your life, and what it would be without the need to work 40h/week to survive.
>If you belive that they can experience pain any of these is terrible.

Sure, I believe they experience pain. I don't see these as major issues, however.

- who cares if it's the butcher or the home cook who kills the crab? I imagine the kinds of cooks buying live seafood care about that freshness (I have never bought live seafood). If they torture the food afterwards, that's on the cook, not the vendor.

- I don't have strong feelings about how the metaphoical sausage is made out back. I am aware that I am eating a once living being. As long as it's dead and properly cooked to not make me sick, what a chef in the backrooms does what they need to do.

- Same as above. They are being killed, they probably do need to take out the face before serving. I'd rather do it quick and painlessly, but I'm not on that side of the industry.

So yea, not strongly convinced here.
Yeah, he has a retreat or something I think, billed as more expansive (and expensive) than a tour through the desert.

I don't see how you expect 3rd party apps to stay below 60 r/m, that is abysmally low for anyone but a single user (even still, it'd be faster to scrape the website at that point). Third party apps have all requests made by every user use their one API key, not one key per user. Even so, third party apps aren't non-commercial, the devs want to get paid at some point.

If it were a complete overreaction, all it would take is a single reddit admin going "he misunderstood, actually it's going to be x".
Under SEC logic, this action is meant to protect the users of Binance US who. According to SEC logic, those users the victims of malfeasance by Binance US and it's decuitful, fraudulent actions.

This is a typical sort of projection I see from crypto-owners. They can't seem to contemplate the fact that there are people that think crypto is a bad idea _regardless_ of how much profit they might or might not have made by buying or selling at various points in history.

I think for some people, it won't be a problem. Much the same way some people have no issues spending hours using VR goggles without nausea. There are many people with accessibility issues who manage it, for example, and geeks who just like the idea of living in the future. In my experience, your eyes just get tired, even after you get used to it.

I think unless Apple has really added some sort of magic, it will be an issue for most people to use Vision Pro for anything but passive activities, or with a physical trackpad.

> Yeah, and by representing the differences this way, Rust allows you to easily decide whether an object is used directly or is wrapped in a rc box when its used, instead of when it's defined, often not by you, and when you change your mind you don't need to change all methods or functions than mutates it and all their call sites

Changing a value type into a reference type is a pretty fundamental transformation because your local mutations now become non-local. Its not clear the Rust approach makes this any easier either, since you’d still have to update all call sites that perform mutation if suddenly one of your value types was now always wrapped in a box.

> Whatever this is called you seem to agree that the syntax is hacked and it can get hard to understand what something means

Result builders are just a way to build data types from the results of top-level expressions (hence their name). It’s not just a SwiftUI thing, they’re also used for regular expressions for example: https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/main/proposals...
