It says they get 300kW per 20-ft container.

This says the average house (U.S.) uses about 30kW in a day. So that gets about 10 homes per container.

> the Tuskegee Syphilis experiments

The primary issue with this was the lack of ethical research, not the privacy of medical records. In fact the opposite argument could be made, with a more open and connected system, we could likely glean such information without the trial in the first place.

How traumatic is it? The surgery and recovery doesn't look that hard. And heat's not exactly pleasant.

I wouldn't say it's trivial to guarantee your dog never gets out or has a visitor to the yard. (And your own track record here is just an anecdote.)

I can control myself, and if my child gets pregnant that's their responsibility. A dog can't be responsible for its own babies.

When I lived in Morocco, the field behind our house was an opium field.

It wasn't just orange poppies. They were a bunch of colors. Looked great.

My mother grew them in our back yard. My brother and I used to chase each other with dried seed pods. They rattled, and, when you smacked someone, the seeds would explode, getting into everything.
I believe medical records should be open

Other people's medical records, you mean?
Opposite is true also: it's possible to add energy into three body system and increase distance between them (antigraviation). In principle, spherical gradient of gravitation creates possibility to increase orbit using only energy and interaction between masses even in two body system (if smaller body can change it shape and distibution of mass to simulate three body system). I had idea of such aparatus when I was student 30 years ago, but then I forgot the details.
Users on SO created value and freely shared it with a community in expectation that the value they created would be freely and collectively shared with everyone. In SO's case this expectation was explicit; the data backup and API was billed as a deliberate choice designed to give users the freedom to migrate and scrape data in case the company went "evil." It was designed specifically to reduce SO's ownership claim over user-generated content.

It's not that SO has a moral right to control and profit from that content. The reality is that SO holding that content at all is a conditionally granted privilege that the community affords the site, and it is a privilege that was always designed to be revocable and the data moveable if SO started abusing its position of power as a host and trying to lock down access.

Some writing/content sites that have taken steps to restrict AI access based specifically on community request. That's a very different situation; if a community (particularly a closed or close-knit community) is collectively and (mostly) uniformly trying to avoid an AI scraping the content that they created, then good for them. There are communities online that are in that position. But "how will the company get reimbursed for our valuable asset" should not be part of that conversation. And SO in particular was set up around norms that deliberately allowed this kind of scraping. It's not their asset to protect.

> rent-seeking AI models

I have issues with modern AI economic models too but I don't think that "rent-seeking" is an accurate term to use. A better word would probably be "parasitic"; I understand (and at somewhat agree with) the argument that OpenAI is looking to repackage information it didn't create in a way that redirects attention away from the original source of information.

But I'm having a really hard time figuring out how OpenAI is hoarding a scarce asset to extract value by controlling access to that asset. The more obvious rent seeking behavior here is coming from SO, a company trying to restrict access to Creative Commons licensed content created for free by unpaid volunteers, and trying to reclassify that content as their corporate property.

I guess being as charitable as possible, I do worry about the SaaS model of many AIs that are dedicated to content generation, and I worry a little bit about AI models becoming heavily integrated into creative processes and then extracting a kind of monetary "creative tax" from artists/creators while heavily restricting what they are allowed to make. That's at least adjacent to rent seeking, but I'm still not sure it's the term I would use and I'm not convinced it's a scenario that's applicable here.

I inherited the set of WB Encyclopedias my parents bought for our family when I was a kid. We could not sell them in the yard sale and the library didn't want them as a donation.

I decided to keep them as a 'decoration' for my new office. There is some nostalgia for me and I will probably crack one open now and then.

I think it is naïve to believe that just because the Internet is full of disinformation that alters regularly at the speed of light; that a print version will protect you from that. While the older versions are less likely to be infiltrated; the biases have existed long enough that plenty of propaganda has made it into print.
From the sounds of some of these deal, city hall isn't even pushing some of them. The city has a law on the books requiring housing the unhoused which conceptually worked for decades.

pension funds can go to taxpayers for a bailout and CalPERs has done so before

this is why it is not a great idea for pension funds to play in venture capital...it isn't fair for taxpayers who have to pay out the losses to keep the pensions running

Rome was still actively campaigning on its borders and violently suppressing revolts in the provinces during that time period.

[VirtEngine/Papers] Emerging Decentralized Autonomous Networks
Abstract (DALNet): The Dynamic Autonomous Learning Network (DALNet) is a novel Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that leverages Language Model Learning (LLM), Visual Artificial Intelligence, adaptive AI learning, and a distributed computing network to create a self-sufficient, autonomously governed organization. The architecture of DALNet emulates real-world organizational structures, with AI Agents acting in specialized roles and reporting to managers and a Managing Director AI Agent. AI Agents operate within a GUI-based environment and utilize LLM capabilities to process language, make decisions, and interact with third-party systems. The DALNet is designed to be scalable, adaptable, and capable of achieving specific goals set by initial developers, while improving efficiency through cross-functional AI Agent collaboration, decentralized knowledge repositories, autonomous reputation systems, and dynamic market adaptation mechanisms.

Abstract (VirtEngine): A decentralized system for identification, authentication, data encryption, cloud and distributed computing is disclosed within this document referred to as ‘VirtEngine’.The system - called VirtEngine, provides a secure and verifiable way to establish and verify the identity of individuals and entities within a blockchain network as well as protect and encrypt sensitive data. These systems can be particularly useful for applications such as online marketplaces, where it is important to ensure the identity of participants and protect sensitive data. VirtEngine also powers a Distributed Computing network and its own Cloud Marketplace system, allowing providers to rent out computing power and consumers to consume computing power via Cloud Services, High Performance Compute, and other integrations.
USB-PD requires extra circuitry that barrel jacks don't. I doubt we'll see the end of barrel jacks.
Yes, but we even give murderers due process. You don't have any civil liberties with reddit, but if the punishment doesn't fit the crime or you know they just used the rules as a pretext to squash dissent, it's going to leave a bad taste.

They can do whatever they want with their platform, but I can also not like mods who make decisions I don't agree with.

I also don't think mods should be allowed to ban people just for being subscribed to other subs or having posted there. The whole idea that I co-sign everything the sub stands for just because I read it tells you all you need to know: they expect and often demand that you do in fact co-sign everything the sub stands for.

And that's the fundamental problem with reddit, really. It's not just the keyword squatting mods: it's that it's a giant social experiment that distills the worst of mob behavior and anonymity.

Fixing reddit requires some kind of check on the mods and the elimination or complete overhaul of the karma system.
I absolutely get your point. I'm not saying they're not free to make whatever business decisions they want -- of course they are. And, of course, I want Reddit to be profitable and survive.

But if they're profitability involves alienating me as a user then I'm going to be alienated and I'm going to act like I'm alienated. I think the outrage makes perfect sense in this case. I'm equally outraged at other companies doing things that manipulate their customers for a tiny bit more profit (like shrinkflation).

Ironically they could have turned this situation into profit from me as I'm happy to pay for Reddit if it was required to allow me to use it in the way that I'm accustomed. Instead of embracing me as a customer, they want me gone.
(facepalm emoji)
I have been banned from subreddits for comments like that. The equivalent of "I don't think censoring GTA V is a good idea". Seriously.

Maybe the mods thought it was a bot account? Maybe they just disagreed with me. Maybe my account was too new but they didn't bother sending an explanation message? I don't know.
The problem is that we're trying to have a public square online that's being controlled by a private company for money.
Well, to be fair, most of what I said wasn't actually regarding the direction of Qt. That said, I am sure Qt Quick/QML has improved since I first used it, but I feel like it's not the "next gen" declarative UI design I personally would've wanted. I actually think there's some Rust UI libraries that are going in a direction I find more interesting.

It is what it is, though.

I used to have the same philosophy having also spent hundreds of hours dealing with the bureaucracy both technical and human of HIPAA and the need to have more data to improve health outcomes for people.

I then went through the process of applying for disability insurance and dealt with the quagmire of them wanting access to all of my mental health records. Not a summary of my mental health diagnoses, but ALL of the individual progress notes. I refused them having those records and ended up having to waive any disability coverage due to mental health issues I was facing. That type of data I just didn't trust this insurance company to keep the data safe, especially as the paperwork stated they would share the data with all of their affiliates and partners with no recourse on my part to restrict what was shared. At that point, I realized that there are VERY good reasons why we don't just allow all of our medical data to be open.
I’ve read all those stories and I don’t think the Lisp Curse is a real thing. The same could be said for prolog or forth. Developers just seemed to gravitate towards C style programming language syntax for a period of time given the popularity of JavaScript and Java and C#

The individual they're referring to with "this remarkable individual" is not Nora Sandler, the author of the submitted post, but Anthony J. Dos Reis who they repeatedly reference by allusion but never name. A confusing way to write.

I don't know what kind of Facetime calls you're having but 99% of the time I'm looking at someone's face, but we're not making eye contact.

The video is almost never exactly where the camera is, and if the person is using an external camera or a secondary monitor, the eyeline will never line up.

It's fine! But you never have the illusion that you're talking to the person directly. Which may be is good enough for adults working on professional projects.

But it's not good enough for a parent interacting with a young child.
Half of the worlds websites (excuse me, webAPPS) still run Wordpress. PHP as a language might be approaching something of a renaissance (just a feeling) thanks to recent upgrades in the language as well as frameworks like Laravel.

So yeah, I'd say there's plenty of work to go around as far as PHP developer is concerned. Keep looking. You'll get there.
I use it for a number of web properties.
This is pretty cool and well done, but perhaps a bit optimistic on the time estimates. Starting from my station, there's really no way to get to Brooklyn in 40 min. The timing seems off by 25% or so
All of which you described works for me in Debian, one of my laptops is also shared by the family. I believe that now systemd is so much more common that paths without it are less tested and way more prone to bugs.

Systemd was kind of a problem many many years ago while it was a new thing and still barely tested, but now it's mostly stable. Don't let your past experience impair your judgement of how things are in 2023. Everybody putting money on Linux is on systemd.
I would argue it's primarily psychological, rather than financial (interest rates) or economic (value creation).

IPOs, like shitcoins, have become simple pyramid schemes. Eventually, the mass bagholders get wise to as what's going on, and demand for such schemes falter. In a decade or so, amnesia will allow for the cycle to repeat.
Honestly, it is an unreasonable stance.

One thing that drove me mad about Oblivion was the level scaling of items which meant it sometimes made sense to be strategic about when you completed a quest in order to best optimise/metagame the mechanic.

No, it doesn't, because the concept of "gravitational potential energy" is not meaningful for an expanding universe considered as a whole. It's only meaningful for isolated systems within the universe.
Personally, I wiped all of my personal Reddit accounts last year. I now use short-lived anonymous accounts which I also wipe after awhile. I use Shreddit [^0] to wipe the account before deleting it. I do wish that I was able to backup some valuable conversations, but I honestly wouldn't find much worth in the backups without the additional context. So perhaps something to explore -- also storing the context of a particular comment with a configurable depth.

here's the thing, humanity got lucky. there was a nonzero chance that china and the dictatorships could have triumphed. if China didn't botch the chance to overtake US in 2008 with a capable dictator. if China got its hands on many advanced US military technologies. if Russia didn't botch the Ukraine invasion. if covid didn't have a vaccine, except one that China developed.

I'm sure most of us are aware of the gulags that China ran in 2022, in the most prosperous city like Shanghai, with welded doors, lack of food, arbitrary killing of pets, moving their own citizens against their wills to camps or cells with no running water and unsanitary conditions. with cries in tall buildings from families in the middle of night for food. If. you haven't seen these things, go watch it online. Imagine if somehow China succeeded, and that's most of humanity's fate.
Yep, exactly my thought. Super valuable if scaled to be more accurate.

“It’s only when the tide goes out that you find out who was swimming naked” (Buffett)

It’s only when there’s an opportunity cost of capital that you find out who actually had a business plan.
That’s my assumption too, keeping a history for every user increases complexity tenfold, while flagging deleted comments seems to be a common practice even in smaller companies because it’s so simple.

Another user said they tried the data dump GDPR request and the comments included deleted comments but only the edited version, so I guess this can be verified at least.
I made a series of reddit posts that collectively involved a fair amount of research, so I ended up copying them over to my personal website in order to have a better primary source.

But I'll probably run this to grab everything else.
I understand why people want this, but I've actually gone on quite a few threads where someone resolved a problem I'm googling and the answer says, "This comment was deleted by Shreddit"

This probably hurts the people more than the company.
