Have you read his book? His means to getting it published were reprehensible and justifiably landed him in prison but his analysis and critique of industrial society and it's future is chilling in its prescience.
Great to see that most of this site is celebrating a mass murderer.

He would have killed any of you by choice.

did the CIA put crack in the hood?
Definitely agree. I would summarize it a bit differently, but when people talk about AI dangers they are usually talking about 1 of 4 different things:

1. AI eventually takes control and destroys humans (i.e. the Skynet concern).

2. AI further ingrains already existing societal biases (sexism, racism, etc.) to the detriment of things like fair employment, fair judicial proceedings, etc.

3. AI makes large swaths of humanity unemployable, and we've never been able to design an economic system that can handle that.

4. AI supercharges already widely deployed psyops campaigns for disinformation, inciting division and violence, etc.

The thing I find so aggravating is I see lots of media and self-professed AI experts focused on #1, I see lots of "Ethical AI" people solely focused on #2, but I see comparatively little focus on #3 and #4, which as you say are both happening right now. IMO #3 and #4 are far more likely to result in societal collapse than the first two issues.
You have a fair point, guess people just feel really strongly about Kinesis? i like how the Kinesis keyboard can toggle between QWERTY and Dvorak on the click of a button. I’m not opposed to a different layout but have a feeling that dev/vim keystrokes wouldn’t change a whole lot. Command/control/tab/backspace for example

I don’t think my hand pain is rsi nor is a common one. The pinky tendons on my palms are enflamed and developed a hard lump. Recently saw a doctor and they didn’t have an easy diagnosis and said to only worry about it if I am inhibited - so figured a new keyboard was a small price to pay for hand health. And there’s a 60 day return policy.
It's not really about intellectual honesty or validity, but about morality.

The only reason any of us are discussing Kaczynski now is because he sent those bombs; he would almost certainly be an unknown if he had not. This gives us an moral quandary, because do we really want to make murderers famous, even when they have something interesting to say? Won't this incentivise future acts of murder and terrorism?

And for what it's worth, I read his book and I thought it raised interesting points, but I am somewhat troubled by this, and I can 100% understand if someone would choose different, even more so if they personally know one of his victims.
> only cheap because we build solar panels and wind turbines using fossil and nuclear fuel.

This is not logical. We are building solar panels and wind turbines with fossil fuels becuase that's the energy source we have now, now becuase they are cheap.

Once we have enough energy from solar and wind, that energy will be cheaper than fossil fuels, and that input to their production will be cheaper, reducing the cost of wind turbines and solar panels further.

Fossil fuels have been made obsolete for most use cases, and we are building the industrial capacity to replace them as fast as we possibly can.

If you don't believe me, check out what the world is deploying for new electricity production. Especially in profit driven markets like Texas' ERCOT. Outside of ERCOT, most of the grid decisions are smoky-room deals with lots of corruption, and there fossil fuels tend to have a huge leg up, since more expensive electricity means a higher profit level for the utility.

It's not necessarily worse, since there is a person driving the car who can prevent the car from behaving badly. What's the safety difference between this and a regular cruise control, which will happily plow you into a wall or car if you don't intervene?

And, empirically, there's no evidence that these cars are less safe when driving this way. Tesla claims people driving with FSD enabled have 4x fewer accidents than those driving without it, and nobody has presented any data that disputes that.
Both are murderers, that doesn't mean they have the same ideas or ideals.

Breivik is a right-wing fascist obsessed with racial and religious purity, Kaczynski's manifesto is critique of the Industrial Age not very distant from any 19th century anarchist essay. I'm not sure if he got more politicised in his later work, I'm only talking about that document.

The point I'm trying to make is that people are more nuanced than your observation is trying to imply.
> Funny I never gave digg or reddit any payment information

And you never saw any ads because you used a third aprty app and ablock? This is why reddit doesn't give a shit if you leave. You were never anything but a cost center to them. They're more worried about making money than replacing moderators.
I haven't used ShareX so I may be missing something here, but the website seems to indicate it's a screen capture utility. Does it do more?

I think you're misremembering here; as far as I know (and as far as I can tell from searching just now) MS has never sued ReactOS. There was a claim made back in 2006 on the mailing list that a portion of syscall.S was copied, and this caused ReactOS to do their own audit:

Trump is not above the law. At least some of the documents (nuclear secrets) are not ones that the president has the legal right to declassify – the statute specifically limits that process – so his only option would have been to pardon himself, but he didn’t even want to admit having done this at the time and likes to pretend that he’s innocent, so he didn’t.
What about Lemmy[0]?

/r/conservative is an odd example because I'm pretty sure everyone knows that the subreddit would be completely overrun by left-wing voices if they didn't enforce guardrails on this. At some point when tribal hatred becomes become sufficiently hot and lopsided in power, then the minority has no choice but to either leave or establish echo chambers. That describes the /r/conservative case imo.

In any case, I'm fully open to the idea that there are still right-wing echo chambers on Reddit. But the whataboutism is a weak distraction. The number of neutral spaces where people are allowed to effectively and openly disagree on hot-button policy issues has declined precipitously since the mid-2010s. Prominent powermods openly dictate what sort of opinions are "allowed" on various issues, and of course these boundaries are far to the left of the actual Overton Window of the populations whose democratic processes actually create policies.

why do these elm hit pieces keep getting dug up and reposted? It's almost always in response to some other elm post (there was one yesterday). People use elm in production at quite a few companies without worrying too much about the concerns laid out in the article, but it feels like people seem almost fervent in their need to justify their reason for leaving elm and why other people shouldn't use elm.
This isn’t about specialness, it’s about the foundations of civil society. People are meat and guts humans.

We’re autonomous entities capable of higher reasoning, limited in time, attention and talent and eventually die allowing new people time to flourish.

We also pay taxes and make silly arguments about software and humans being no different from each other because it justifies our ability to play with cool toys without considering the impact on other people. Corporations aren’t people though because they aren’t cool like AI.

Yeah I fully agree doing this is super hard in practice. If you want it, for sure that can be a great place to start!

Also, although “make something people want” is pretty simple, still people forget it all the time (Including me btw). So it’s as much a self reminder as anything!
There does not seem to be any evidence that corroborates this. The most I can find are claims that some records were destroyed, so we won't know. That doesn't automatically mean there is a connection, though.
The program continued under a different classified name. Spears gave testimony of abuse by various doctors during her trial. You’ll have to decide for yourself if you think this is related to mk-ultra or not, but many do.

Slightly more than "half a dozen bytes", and copyright rather than license but see the "rangeCheck" allegation from Oracle back in their trial against Google: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_LLC_v._Oracle_America,_...

> The copyright phase started on April 16, 2012, and consisted of several distinct claims of infringement: a nine-line rangeCheck function, several test files, the structure, sequence and organization (SSO) of the Java (API), and the API documentation
> ...
> Alsup did agree with the jury that the rangeCheck function and eight security files were a copyright infringement, but the only relief available was statutory damages up to a maximum of US$150,000

The damages were small (and included some other files beyond just the 9-line function), but from my(obligatorily disclaimed as non-lawyer) understanding, there is legal precedent that copying a nine-line function.

(I had a little trouble digging up the exact line lines of code since I don't know offhand where to find the Java standard library sources, but if anyone is curious, I did find them in this blogpost: https://majadhondt.wordpress.com/2012/05/16/googles-9-lines/)
Because we like music for the fun of making it, and the shared emotional connection felt with the artist (whether it's real or not, knowing a human wrote and performed a piece allows you to imagine this connection).

I don't know what the point of machine generated music is. Just destroying one of the few remaining ways for people to make a living doing something creative, I guess.

The promise of automation was to have machines do the things we don't want to do, so humans could have more time to do things we enjoy.

Instead, we are automating the things humans enjoy, and still leaving humans to figure out how to feed, house and clothe ourselves through the sweat of our brow.

> What would you say the basis of all knowledge you know is? You are a collection of everything you have consumed and the stuff you create is all influenced by that.

FWIW, humans certainly can infringe other peoples' copyrights and can do so even if they aren't actively intending to do so. There is some boundary across which you are no longer just learning something and you are now copying, and it isn't clear at all that these generative AI techniques are actively considering the latter the way a human is required to.

But, sure: if you are against the idea of copyright entirely then it is hard to consider the idea inconsistent, though I would think a world without copyright would be a particularly hard one for an artist to make money at all...
It depends a bit on when and where. But, yeah, all the choke points in and out and then finding/paying for parking are at least among the biggest pain points. I almost never drive to Manhattan from Massachusetts even though it would be faster from my house and that's driven in no small part by the pain of driving into Manhattan from the north.
In the case of Nature, it functions as a statement of values that scientists publishing with Nature will be happy to comply with to the best of their abilities.

I doubt that the editors are under some illusion that the nominal ban will create a hard line in reality. I'd be surprised to learn that that is their idea of success with this measure.
I use ShareX and I use OBS - there doesn't seem to be a huge overlap in functionality?

ShareX - screen capture and screen recording.

OBS - streaming (and lots of related functionality).

I'm guessing you were using OBS for screen recording - but that's not really close to it's core feature set.
Yes, every ML grad student should write autodiff lib (ideally using dual numbers). But nobody should ever write backward pass for whole net. Researchers did that in 80s and 90s. Once we had autodiff, it became obvious that deriving backward pass by hand is no-go.
I had never heard of Minisim, looks really interesting. Thanks for that.
This doesn't mean the system is actually better. It just means that Mercedes thinks that the cost of covering the liability won't exceed the boost in sales that come from this decision. It reminds me of what an automotive innovator once said[1]:

>Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to feel all warm and toasty inside... Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.

Not that I'm implying Autopilot is necessarily a "quality product" in comparison. It is just that a guarantee or liability coverage is nothing but a marketing expense for the company issuing it. It doesn't actually mean the product is higher quality.

Ted's claim is that these people must die because they are propagating suffering via technology.

I don't see how "but proponents of technology died" is an argument against his claim that stopping technology will stop suffering caused by technology.
Hell, I currently don't even have gigibit fiber and self-host a Mastodon instance at home. Currently hosting Plex (meaning content-sharing with friends and family), Mastodon, Matrix, Airsonic, Wireguard, PiHole, and more. Everything runs off an HP EliteDesk with QNAP hosting all the media. The SFF PC is quiet and uses relatively little power.

I am glad I have no data limit though - I apparently went through >3 terabytes (split 30/60 between up and down) last month alone, mostly due to Plex and Wireguard.

As asinine as it sounds, I agree with them. In this specific case, there’s no reason to believe that a completed bomb is the same as an intent to bomb anybody. I’d be surprised if any 20-year veteran bomb builder didn’t have a couple fully-working prototypes, the same reason I’d be surprised a 20-year veteran coder had no fully functional prototypes.

Crafting is crafting, whether you’re doing woodworking or killing. Is it impossible to believe that someone like Ted might find bomb building every bit as gratifying as we find programming?

He was unhinged. But it’s hard to argue he wasn’t a master craftsman. Few lone-wolf bomb makers survive 20 years without accidents, let alone evade authorities till their family turned them in.

I know very little about Ted, and almost nothing about his philosophies or any of the subject matter. But it seems entirely consistent and reasonable that there would be deployable bombs that were sitting around for unknown amounts of time when he was captured.

Dude’s a murderer. I’m glad he was stopped, and it’s sad he wasn’t caught on day one.
The tough part with Kinesis is not being able to demo the products in person. Ironically I live in seattle which is where they are located but their sales team didn’t really help me out in this regard.

Price was one factor but I actually decided For a USB model since I switch between work stations somewhat often and pairing Bluetooth between different computers can sometimes be a pain. just figured the advantage2 was “the simplest thing that works”.

The appealing thing to me about the 360 is the vertical/tent adjustments it seems to have.

No, I think you're trying to dismiss critics of Diamond without ever engaging with the actual criticism by blanket-accusing them of living in "an echo chamber" (and missing the irony of doing so on HN), without providing a shred of evidence.

It's a wonderful mental trick to convince yourself you're right without fact-checking yourself, not to mention dismiss any field of expertise that you disagree with, but it doesn't actually prove anything.
I see. This car is good enough for a morning commute in Bay Area traffic. The question is the disengagement mode. 40 mph on the highway means it only makes sense in traffic, but when the conditions are no longer met how does it decide to hand over control?

If it can reliably wake me up or pull over at the off ramp then it's good enough.

There are an estimated 3 billion people in the world who still rely on solid fuel (wood, coal, peat moss) to cook food and generate heat [1]. We are extremely far away from being able to use 100% electricity to meet two basic needs for the whole population. From that perspective power-plant-scale computing is an incredible luxury.

I married someone from an IIT/IIM background and I think the public should really meet them and reduce this hype. My wife, while relatively smart and working at a FAANG - is not that smart (I'm trying to use my words respectfully). I've met many of her friends from a similar background from IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, and IIM-A. Infact the IIT-JEET exam is not even "that" competitive, I think a lot of people get caught up in their own smoke and believe millions of indians take it every year - the fact is that less people take the IIT-JEET (a couple of hundred thousand), than some of our exams here - like for law school and medical school. Overall, while I think my wife is a wonderful person, I would peg her and many of her classmates at the equilance of a UC Davis graduate - (Cal/Stanford alum myself, but going off reference points off my high school cohort).

Wow, this is great news, but also induces some nostalgia: just imagine the excitement of a high schooler in Serbia when a big corporation like Intel would freely ship architecture and instruction set books numbering thousands of pages across 4 tomes to them!

There are still 32 bit x86 architectures deployed in the embedded space, like Vortex86DX3.
I wasnt a G5 owner, waited for the Intel switch, but I gather the G5 water cooling had a very high failure rate and this was at least a large part of why Jobs dropped IBM/MOT/PPC int he end. They promised him a high clock, air cooled G5 but couldn't deliver.
I'm very surprised he didn't die earlier. Take his mental state at sentencing, then consider he was in ADX Florence Supermax from 1998 to December of 2021...23 years. The regimen there is 23 hours a day by yourself in your cell. There's one hour a day outside in a sunken concrete area, each prisoner is placed in an individual 12x18 foot wire-mesh cage, and can speak to other nearby caged prisoners under the watch of guards. There's a thin slit window in the cell that shows only the sky, no landscape visible. All meals eaten in the cell, passed through a hole. They did transfer him to a medical prison in December of 2021.

Why don't I hear about these incidents with AWS? Is it just less common or different business takes on quotas and rate limits?
You've buried an assumption in there: that there is only one possible future. That we can only choose between that one future and the past. Since at least the original Luddites, the real tension has been between multiple futures enabled by technology. Kaczynski was in this tradition. It was an argument against inevitability, against the same glorification of one future that you condemn when it's about the one past. I suggest that you consider the possibility of one or more different futures, where technology still exists but is applied in ways that enhance our humanity instead of suppressing it.
They certainly are. Being able to pay for the extra power doesn’t mean you like fan noise, not to mention the people who are doing things like video production in a trailer where overheating is a concern.
