I think you misunderstand my issue or the argument here.

You are arguing what? That spreading bacteria, even one that was believed to be benign, is a violation of personal rights? Well I agree with you 100%, and if that’s surprising, then the point has been missed.

The issue I have is an article that serves only the purpose of inflaming without informing. We can all claim moral outrage, and then point “look.. horrible things.. horrible people”. What purpose does that serve? It has become the standard of communication on social media. How does it serve this discussion to point out all the way the US government and the courts have failed us? Your list is tiny compared to the true scope. Ask any Native American.

Does that prove in this case a person was killed by the actions of spreading bacteria by light bulbs? Clearly it cannot. So then what’s the goal of the argument? Slippery slope fallacy? Appeals to emotion?

Instead give me an article with substance and facts, and nuanced discussion. Why were those choices made in the past. Did those people believe they were doing good, and not doing harm? What lead to that occurring? How to we prevent it from occurring again? How do we educate ourselves so we don’t make equally well intentioned but harmful decisions.

If an article claims a bacteria is pathogenic, and harmed people by its use, then I require it prove it to me. Otherwise it’s conjecture. If so, treat it as such, and say “let’s all look into this further”. If an article won’t, then it’s immediately suspect, and its conclusions can’t be trusted.

Moral outrage is no path towards truth, fairness, and equality. Those things require more from us. More from our discussions. Arguments appealing to emotion (even ones that are well researched linking to wikipedia) don’t help. The comparison to Covid discussion is apt, since many people linked to Wikipedia or other sources, citing all sorts of things, in order to bolster their logically incomplete, or entirely emotional arguments.

Imagine instead an article that said “possible benign bacteria used to study germ contamination”. Then went on to discuss the facts, facts such as opportunistic infections, or even questions about the case you brought up and wether that was a fair trial and if not, what evidence supports it not being (other than “US court bad corrupt”) and then, it asked my questions above.

The problem is that media today needs ad money to operate, and “pathogenic bacteria released on citizens” gets a LOT more clicks. And then the moral outrage that follows make everyone feel good, but doesn’t make the world a better more educated place.

If we don’t do better in our journalism, and in our discussions, then your list above is doomed to get longer and longer as time goes on.

It’s so unlikely. But the idea of RIF and Apollo joining forces to create something new is kinda captivating.
Come on. We're dealing with qualified professionals here. The buck stops with them.

A professional civil engineer blaming a new untested simulation software after a bridge fails and causes injury - does it matter what the software claimed to do? It could claim itself to be god, but it's still up to the professionals to evaluate and select the tools they choose to use.

It's not like they were using an industry-standard tool they've been using for many years and it suddenly did something unexpected.

This is clearly carelessness. A basic out-of-bound check on the cases it hallucinated would be part of basic due-diligence. Digitized case indices are available within minutes.

What's even more egregious is that they went to the same tool to confirm its own reliability after they got some indication that it was unreliable. It doesn't take a professional to have commonsense.

> you can't do that for the universe as a whole.

Yes correct, that's why that energy doesn't 'exist' because it's outside of the universe.
I think they use the language “opportunity cost” which would imply to me its a lost ad revenue figure instead of an infra figure. Its fuzzy math at best.
I have read all of your comments and not one of them actually says anything concrete. It's the exact same vague objection repeated over and over again.

Please explain exactly why you think calculating the total gravitational potential energy of the entire universe or a well-defined sub-volume of it is intractable. Feel free to use arbitrarily technical mathematical or physics language, just please stop being vague.
He argues that because technology transfer was difficult in the Americas, the ancient Mexican wheel never found it's way to the Andes where it may have been combined with suitable pack animals. That much is fairly plausible. But he goes further than this: he also argues that because ancient Mexican wheels weren't combined with pack animals, wheels could offer no practical utility to ancient Mexicans and this explains why the wheel wasn't put to practical use in the Americas. This is too far, he's forcing the data to fit his model.

The relevant passage:

> While wheels are very useful in modern industrial societies, that has not been so in some other societies. Ancient Native Mexicans invented wheeled vehicles with axles for use as toys, but not for transport. That seems incredible to us, until we reflect that ancient Mexicans lacked domestic animals to hitch to their wheeled vehicles, which therefore offered no advantage over human porters.

It has nothing to do with pack animals. Pack animals are not and never were a prerequisite for putting wheels to practical use. Across all of humanity, perhaps as few as two individual people ever had the idea to invent the wheel; at least once in China and at least once again in Mexico; all other uses of the wheel plausibly descent from these two instances of invention. So obviously the wheel wasn't an obvious invention, and neither were practical applications for the wheel obvious, except seemingly so in retrospect. Chariots appeared about 4000 years ago, but wheel barrows only appeared about 2000 years ago. You can't explain that gap with environmental circumstances. The gap is explained when you realize these aren't obvious inventions. Searching for environmental reasons for the invention or non-invention of such things is folly, because the greatest hurdle to clear is simply having the incredible luck of somebody on your continent having such an idea in the first place.

To me, this was the canary. Just another psychopath megacorp.
Not really.

Or more precisely, it was great when the internet was small and people were mostly well behaved. And as forums and then platforms with easier access and better moderation tools took over, it became nothing but spam, only leaving alt.binaries, so much that many people saw USENET as just a network for piracy, like The Pirate Bay or Megaupload.
Who indeed! Is that that that the question!
No, they were overrun after taking a shot, which compromised their position.

The incident you're talking about happened much earlier, in Iraq. I believe this article is referencing it: https://www.dvidshub.net/news/6921/former-magnificent-bastar...

It doesn't say they fell asleep, because of course there's no way to know that. It's an assumption that has been repeated as fact, though it does seem likely.
I loved to go to the Hansen planetarium in Salt Lake City as a kid to learn about the night sky. I remember when they swapped out the star projector with the first digital projector made by Evans & Sutherland in the early '80s. The stars weren't as sharp as the old system, but getting to virtually travel to other stars in our galaxy and see the constellations change shape from those new vantage points was a real trip.

Militaries for centuries have found that 10 people is the maximum effective size one leader can control (a squad). Given that, and when avoiding middle managers, that makes the max effective size of a company as about 100 people. Guess meta has a whole lot more people to whack.

1. Advertiser revenue dropped like a cliff in 2008 era. Facebook advertisements were far more valuable than AdSense whatever from your smaller forums. Today, you will never have the revenues of the 90s or 00s era, and likely never again as long as Facebook and Youtube have eaten up the bulk of advertising eyeballs and dollars.

2. Moderation back then was far harder. There was far more spam to deal with those forum-sites back then and moderators had to work harder than today. Yes, we got trolls and other such moderation issues. But 90s / 00s were just filled with penis-enlargement spam and other crap that no one wanted. If you didn't see this, it was because your moderators were excellent (and likely overworked).

For this "moderation" issue alone, I'm convinced we need shared-identity systems like Reddit or Twitter, where an admin-level ban can quickly clean up spam. We have "higher-level" moderation problems now, but at least we've evolved past the manual-labor level of spam cleanup.

> Lastly, I could get all the relevant updates from the sites I was interested in with a nice orderly rss feed customized to my liking.

3. Twitter beats RSS feeds in terms of advertising revenue. If you're aiming at an advertisement scheme, you ain't beating the "new web".

Without advertising revenue, you ain't rebuilding the 90s or 00s. And you won't get advertising revenue, because today's 2020+ era of websites are far better at drawing eyeballs than any no-name forum or phpbb instance.

Open Source projects can host a Discourse or other instance due to community donations. I'm not sure if typical groups on the internet today are large enough to self-fund (heck, even popular open source projects have issues self-funding their discussion sites or email lists).
That sounds a bit like Alexis Ohanian. Reddit really thrived under his leadership. Alexis approached reddit with curiosity and understanding. He was not a perfect leader, but he understood what reddit is.

Everything implemented after Huffman took over has been for the worse with exception for /r/place.
Labour isn't necessarily influence, that is where things break down.

Reddit knows that if all the malcontents (From their point of view) leave they will be replaced by newer content creators/community participants who either don't know the story or don't care.

The problem with the Digg comparision is that the internet is a vastly different place today both from a legislative and a payment processing point of view. I would venture a guess that the legal and financial barriers to entry are and will continue to prevent anyone from making the next Reddit; or the next Twitter, for that matter.

It's easy to level a charge of reductionist when the book is presenting a model for why things happened a certain way, instead of just describing what sort of things happened. GG&S is all about the why, and is therefore inherently reductionist.

My foodservice experience was highly unorthodox as it was always either an underage/under-the-table or supplementary part-time arrangement in one of my family's establishments. The last time I was yelled at for something that wasn't my fault I decided to quit and got a better-paying day job a week later.

On an unrelated note, that final restaurant job was as a bartender at a cocktail bar frequented by white-collar workers. On a slow day I was asked to wait on a table which I'd never done before. They ordered a red Bordeaux blend; I messed up the bottle service by failing to pour a sample to which the eldest gentlemen in the party retorted "Well I hope I like it!" (despite the initial pour being to check for quality, not preference, but I digress). I made it up to him by providing a few minutes of free IT consulting to the chagrin of the rest of the table and ended up with a beefy tip :o). All's well that ends well, I suppose...
Which in itself is a massive selling feature. Deploying a simple app on AWS is about as straight forward as deploying Active Directory in the early 2000s. It is so bad Amazon even launched the Lightsail product line to address the problem.

AWS now is basically "you don't know how to run a database, or a KV store, or a network, etc. so here it all is as an API with a markup." Some companies still have talent that knows how to run things efficiently and just need CPU, RAM, and storage.

Almost EVERY question went unanswered. He spent approximately 35 minutes replying to 14 questions, essentially all of which were from Reddit "PowerMods" (that cadre of 6 moderators that control >118 of the Top 50 subreddits), and most of those answers were single paragraph rehashes of the same point: "We'll keep talking to developers", and multiple of those questions appear to have scripted, as noted when he answered a question: "A: blah blah blah", then rapidly edited out the "A:".

Wheels are also more advanced than they might appear to us nowadays. They are kind of a quantum leap because only a good wheel is useful, and a good wheel has multiple components that have to be fashioned and integrated in just the right way. Even if the idea of a wheelbarrow exists, it might not seem worth the investment when there isn't an established wheel industry and the wheel will need lots of tinkering and adjustment. But a wheeled cart driven by animals is a BIG improvement over saddlebags that would be worth it for travelers and soldiers to figure out.

U.S. Congress to consider two new bills on artificial intelligence
I've been a reddit user for 15 years. I paid for a subscription to support what I thought was the front page of the internet, but I've cancelled it after this debacle. It's clear that Huffman doesn't care (does he even want to be CEO anymore?)... even if he gets replaced, the damage has been done.
That could be, although I would expect a typical "Call us for a quote" thing if that was the goal.
Regardless of whether it has harmful effects or not, the fact is that homogenization is a wholly cosmetic operation; it's done because urban middle-class consumers were supposedly grossed out by solids floating in their milk and having to deal with the separate elements; it's done more or less in denial of the nature of milk in its natural state. There's no benefit, other than looks and feels, that homogenization offers, so why go through that process, expense, and bother if it's pointless, and may in fact be harmful? Just put the milk on the shelves. I feel that the cream is lovely and I'm thankful that it's separate so it can be handled appropriately.
I think you've got hold of the wrong end of your analogy.

If you just hold it the right way you will be illuminated and we will all agree how relevant it is.

If someone announces to the public, they have a revolutionary new motor that is going to transform personal transportation and solve climate change...

...but it is presented with a chat interface - the motor itself is directed through typing text and it demonstrates its motion/power through text messages in response - rather being connected to a vehicle or generator, rather than a transmission, then it's BS beyond a reasonable doubt.

Even though there is no logical or technical reason preventing such a setup, it's just not how professionals do things. If the motor were so damn useful, then people who like to use motors would use it for the things that they do use motors for!

There is no logical or legal requirement in science to use LaTeX Computer Modern fonts...but as a layperson if I can't tell if someone is a crank or doing advanced physics, I'm going to be exponentially more skeptical if they are using Times or Palatino.
> The Europeans did it by requiring companies to abide by their new law or pay out fines(basically a quasitax)

This works only because EU is a relatively big and wealthy economy. If, say, Chile or Botswana tried to do the same, US companies would be like “lol, bye”. If, or when the Europe becomes just as poor as these relative to US, the incentive for US companies to stay in Europe and pay these ridiculous fines, will simply not be there, and so they will leave.

Thus, if Europe’s strategy is to impose more and more strict regulations and taxes on US companies, it must return to growing in wealth in power. Otherwise, this strategy will backfire: not only Europe will stay poor, but also the highly productive companies will exit it.
I also suspect their tech stack is a huge ball of bloated inefficiencies that costs them much much much more than the bare metal and the bandwidth would.

You’re asking why do CEOs speak out? Do q&as? Fireside chats? Of course they all speak corporate speak

Most of the top questions were childish and useless, asking to get rid of the ads, go back to the original spirit of Reddit. Comparing the pressure and decision making process of a CEO who raised 1.3 BILLION dollars to some basement dweller who’s shutting down their app out of spite (pretty sure they could sell the app for $5M today no questions asked)

After so many rounds of raising, I’m being generous if I guess that spez owns 5% of Reddit stock. Reddit is being run right now by the biggest investment firms in SV. Rigjtfully looking for ROI. It would literally make them more money to shut down Reddit than to do what everyone in the AMA is asking them to do

In terms of accessibility, I understand they have a roadmap. I don’t understand how they don’t have 400 ADA lawsuits on court right now. Every corporation I worked for had been flooded by copy paste ADA lawsuits, and an app or 3rd party apps aren’t enough, the website has to be fully accessible
Should be noted that this wasn’t an LLM, but rather a traditional “expert system” with canned messages and deterministic rules.

Those of you who have low paying service jobs in Europe, is it more dignified than the US?
If you fix a sub-volume of the universe where the boundaries of the volume are subject to the expansion of space, you can calculate the energy in the volume. The question upthread is clearly "does the energy in this volume increase due to expansion?". I'm not sure why you're so focused on integrating over the entire universe; that wasn't an important part of the question upthread. You are being very vague. If you have a coherent mathematical objection that you are trying to explain indirectly, please just say the mathematical objection.
