Yes, really. Scifi fantasies don’t count as evidence and we’ve learned since the Renaissance and scientific revolution that all this Platonic theorizing is just an intellectual circle jerk.
Tbf he did fail, was prevented from going himself in person, and over a thousand of the people that he got to go have all been arrested as a result now.
In the city, especially downtown its basically not free anywhere. It's always metered. Only free at nights and weekends
What a weird announcement. It says "To install Debian 12 bookworm ... you can choose from a variety of installation media types to Download..." and "If you simply want to try Debian 12 bookworm... you can use one of the available live images" as if it were all available, but in fact the Debian 12 images are not ready.

It feels like the blog post was written before images were created, but they forgot to add a comment saying when it'll be available for download and published anyway.

I understand by the comments that the apt repos were already updated, so you could install bullseye 11.7 and upgrade to 12 in the OS, but seems a convoluted way to do it. I guess I won't be trying out 12 this weekend.
The mood back then was that domestic spying didn’t exist.

As in: Imagine the scale it requires, you’re stupid if you believe, what, that the NSA tapes all of our records?!? Put your tinfoil hat back.
Once you build enough wind and solar, energy itself become cheap and one is then more concerned with how to store and transmit that energy. That's why hydrogen makes sense despite the inherent conversion inefficiencies.
> The scientific way to dismiss that theory would be proving it wrong.

That's completely the opposite of what is supposed to happen: You are supposed to provide evidence that it is right, not assume it is right until proven wrong.

> just that they do similar things in similar ways

Completely baseless. Neural nets can be trained on all kinds of phenomenon, the weather for example. No one says that the weather works like a neural net. For the same reason there is no reason to say (without specific evidence) that the brain works like a neural net despite producing the same output.

> People seem to struggle to articulate what it is that is missing exactly that would prove that theory wrong.

Again there is no evidence that it is right. When there is no evidence that it is right there is no burden to show that it is wrong.
> Military applications are a small subset

Military applications are a tiny subset of evil that can be done with intelligence, artificial or otherwise. So much of the global economy is based on IP, and AI appears to be good at appropriating it and shoveling out near infringements at a breathtaking scale. Ironically, AI can paraphrase a book about patent law in a few minutes... and never really understand a word it wrote. At the moment AI may be an extistential threat to IP based economies... which is certaintly as much of a national security threat as protecting the water supply.

> "If we don't do it, the evil people will do it anyway" is not a good argument.

This is a good argument if the cow was still in the barn. At this moment, we're all passengers trying to figure out where all of this is going. It's change, and it's easy to be afraid of it. I suspect, though, just like all changes in the past AI could just make life better. Maybe.
Check out my https://github.com/dave/rebecca package for a neat way of building readme docs by embedding Go docs and examples.

It generates the big readme for https://github.com/dave/jennifer (see https://github.com/dave/jennifer/blob/master/README.md.tpl).
An increase in gas taxes and road tolls would make people drive less, requiring less road maintenance, traffic policing, etc, and allow buses to move more efficiently, freeing up funding that can then go into improving transit.
It's really unclear to me how Kbin is different from Lemmy other than UI and not being Lemmy — which is fine but unclear. Just another ActivityPub implementation?

Honestly the more I read about Nostr the more it makes sense to me. It would be nice if there were a more forum-like Nostr.
Could you point out some particular examples of what you think shouldn't have been removed?
Horrifying for developers, but such longevity is great for the client
I would say that any solution to solving the American Educational system should start with a dramatic reduction in child care costs.
Also were I trying to solve public education, I would give more weight to people who have actually gone to public schools.
> This is a distinctly Western perspective: that intent matters

I am kind of curious about the perspective here. Is the argument that "eastern" (I assume, as opposed to "western") perspectives do not consider intent in evaluating actions?
If you enter google.com in your browser and login, unless you misspelled the domain and that didn't get flagged by anything, you'll be fine. If a relative that doesn't know much about tech gets a text/email asking them to login to their bank but the site linked is b4nk0f4m3r1c4.com, that phishing site could replay the entered credentials into the real site to login.
A HUGE plus one to the last point - making social connections is usually even harder / not cared for than subject matter onboarding.
I can only imagine how cool it must be to be raised by early adopters of internet technology.

I can somewhat relate to this story in a couple coincidental points. First is that my father being a relatively early adopter of the PC in his professional life as a civil engineer in the early 80s, while an internet connection was about twenty years in the future for him, and the second one is that I learned electron microscopy on a Jeol microscope from 1994 when I was doing my master's in material science.

And this is my first comment in HN. I hope everyone is doing wonderfully well.
This seems intuitive.
What is your legal reasoning for a lesser clearance significantly reducing the severity of the breach?

Petraeus was charged because of the severity of the breach. If the breach wasn't severe, someone like Petraeus would not be charged. The takeaway is how light he got off compared to anyone out-of-favor or politically insignificant.

The wiki only glosses over the classified materials exchange in question with a single sentence.

Here's a better summary:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/mar/03/david-petrae...

"The plea deal establishes that Petraeus shared “black books” with Broadwell with “classified information regarding the identities of covert officers, war strategy, intelligence capabilities and mechanisms, diplomatic discussions, quotes and deliberative discussions from high-level National Security Council meetings, and defendant David Howell Petraeus’s discussions with the President of the United States of America”.

There isn't a grade to oopsies with clearances and classified info. Either it's a breach or it isn't. I've read Petraeus's breach being considered legally worse than Snowden's, given what was disclosed.

To my prior point, prosecutors make prosecution decisions in regard to classified info selectively and politically. In addition to selectively meting punishment.
>Seems relatively fair to me.

It's legal. It's hardly fair. It means the working/middle class masses get to pay the burden of taxes (including sales taxes, and others) disproportionately to their income and wealth - and of course, the money taken from them is orders of magnitude more impactful on their everyday life than if we half of Bezos income (or even half his total wealth) was taxed away.

>and stealing from others is generally regarded as theft.

Only as long as you're not rich. If you're its normalized and has lots of legal avenues available to you to do that, same how unfairness is codified in laws like the above, in which "if you find a way to avoid income, you don't have any income to be taxed", which was made the case precisely because the rich have ample easy means to "avoid income".
MDM tooling and support contracts are widely available for mac, the battery lasts a full day, and the hardware is physically of high quality which is important if you have to lug your computer with you 24/7 during your on call shift.

Linux environments are fungible, unless you're kernel hacking you can develop using a container, VM or cloud hosted environment.

Client code most likely runs on iOS/Android, not desktop.
Yeah, ultimately I think Reddit is structurally much more likely to lend itself to echo chambers because its community-based nature (organized around subreddits) gives it centralized targets of partisan attack: You can effectively disrupt speech not by actioning individual users at the account level but by just banning or heavily censoring subreddits where the disfavored speech is taking place.

This is of course largely what has happened, where subs with substantial right-of-center populations have been either banned (usually under the pretext of not being aggressive enough about policing for ever-evolving standards of "hate speech") or just co-opted by moderators who punish right-of-center speech in various ways (often indirectly, such as simply banning users who upset others by expressing disfavored views for the sake of community harmony.) Twitter cannot be co-opted in this way, really.

That said, it hadn't occurred to me that some people are so hostile to right-of-center perspectives that they would consider this censorship to result in a net reduction in "echo chambers", because presumably these perspectives are all so horrible that surely they can only exist in toxic, tightly-controlled spaces such as a Flat Earther community, etc.
There are a number of largely disjoint issues/questions.

- AI may be literally dangerous technology (i.e. Skynet)

- AI may cause mass unemployment

- AI may not be dangerous but it's a critical technology for national security (We can't afford an AI gap.)

- Generative AI may be violating copyright (which is really just a government policy question)
I agree. I walk, take the train, ride my bike, or ride the bus whenever possible. I've adapted a good portion of my life to that thinking, including buying a more expensive house that I could do those things.

But a lot of folks in this thread came to defend someone who analogs cars to enslavement and championed making them so expensive people can't afford them.
No one who advocate "pausing AI development" see Palantir as much of a threat anyway
Might be "free" but then you also have to endure using AWS LightSail which you'll regret quickly.
Nah Paul Otlet was the first.
I think you’re closest to what I was hoping for. Something like the vanilla software any admin could setup a reddit knock off ala a django forum app https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/forum/
I grew up in a city with insanely high taxes on cars and roads (Singapore). But you could get anywhere easily with the bus or MRT. In a rush? Your Grab taxi can get you there quickly and efficiently. I’m not sure why it’d be better to make everyone’s day worse instead. Does that really make the world a fairer place?
Is it sad? Actually working Linux on real hardware is far more important than purity IMO.
Legally in the US it's a question of whether copyright was violated or not when you copy a tiny bit.

I'm not a lawyer but I feel confident in saying that you can copy a background color without a license, because a background color alone is definitely not copyrightable.

But in the grey area... it's a grey area. There is lots of case law we could look at, but ultimately it depends on what a judge or jury would think if anyone took you to court. And sometimes they do surprising things.

Which is why for well-resourced commercial operations (that have more to lose and more to gain), they don't take the risk. In this case... is anyone going to even notice or get mad if they notice you took 40% of a free HTML template for some random not-million-dollar website? Probabably not? If they do, then saying sorry and adding the attribution will probably suffice?

That's the legal situation. I think it is reasonable to ask an ethical question separated from legality, which is a different question. Sometimes I ask the authors of open-source-licensed things what they would think about my use.
They're pulling a Twitter. Mr Musk also banned links to Mastodon.
Sugar on top of sugar. I don't see the point of this or langchain itself when I can call the underlying model API directly in a way that's convenient for me.
These are moderation actions from the whole Fediverse kbin.pub is aware of (mostly Lemmy) and they are from communities (subreddits) moderators, not from instance admins
People with disabilities thrive in areas with reduced car traffic. Many people with disabilities are unable to drive and as such benefit from prioritized public transportation, and many small electric vehicles that are appropriate for people with disabilities can use bicycle infrastructure. This covers the vast majority of the needs of people with disabilities - the small remainder can be granted exceptions.

No yank-tanks are required to accommodate people with disabilities - quite the opposite, car-oriented infrastructure limits their agency in society.
Sure, but to be fair, how many 9/11’s have happened since the first one?
> employees are doomed to sit on the highway for hours per day

Average round trip commute is less than an hour in the US so this is an extreme exaggeration to make your point more valid.
The point here is that this isn't some example from a textbook or even stack overflow, but licensed pieces of work with all the legal complications that come with that. This is about the potential use of this code in proprietary code (or code otherwise incompatible with the original licenses), and I really don't think anyone would say it is "accepted best practice" to copy out someone else's work you find online, licenses be damned, in a professional setting.
I personally strongly prefer to use Go, and would never use "golang" or "Golang", but I don't mind if other people do and I'd never complain about it. The reason for this is simply that I don't like the sound of the word "golang"; there are some other words I avoid for similar reasons, I think everyone has a few of those.

The thing is that the article title uses Go while the submission here uses Golang. I wouldn't be too happy if someone submitted one of my articles and changed words like that, especially if it's to something I dislike. That's also why I complained about the editorializing in the first place, because I'd be a bit peeved if someone added something like "best-kept secret" in there (but the article title changed, so that's now a moot point).

Conversely, I'd also never change "golang" to "Go" when submitting something.
Isn't HFT just being a middle man lots of times? If that understanding is correct, then I disagree that it serves any purpose. At least ads help enable new economic activity, being a middle-man just skims off the top of things that are already happening. Also, HFT has contributed to a flash crash before, so it's not free of externalities either.
Sure but now could be a pivot point. These third party developers that are closing their apps could band together around a vanilla knock off if one could roll out a knock off like yet another Django app. Thinking of forum apps like https://djangopackages.org/grids/g/forum/

Social wise, I imagine there are controls to steer how the site allows new content. Maybe start with just the subs that naturally tend toward the most use and least controversy. The pet subs, car maintenance, science, benign hobbies, news (tough but worth the clicks), etc.
Responses to common criticisms of Lisp languages?
> They are not even betting one cent in their car safety.

Do you mean strictly in the sense of accepting liability for crashes while AutoPilot is engaged?

Because Tesla makes safety a primary selling point of their vehicles. Objectively Tesla invests hugely in the safety of their vehicles, and scores the absolute highest marks for safety in many government tests.

Tesla makes an L2 system where the driver must remain engaged. And part of their FSD system includes the most sophisticated driver gaze and attention tracking system on the market. This has made their FSD system on predominantly non-highway roads safer than the average human driver without FSD.
> out of a region of 28 million people, just an estimated 16,100 low-income people commute to work via car in Lower Manhattan, according to the MTA
This is a valid approach, but it might lead to a more complicated setup compared to the alternative approach shown in the article (example.com/5678).
Mmm -- my sense is that you're also "arranging scraps" here to get them to line up and support the narrative that you like.

By my reading, Gorbachev's later statement -- "definitely a violation of the spirit of the statements and assurances made to us in 1990" (referring to NATO's decisive steps towards expansion starting in 1993) -- is more holistic, and seals the matter.

Not that there was "conspiracy" to hoodwink the Soviets from the beginning, per your straw-man argument. But still -- against the spirit of the statements and assurances made at the time, 'twas. Shevardnadze's statements might seem to contradict this, but not really -- Shevardnadze is focusing on the details; Gorbachev is talking about the bigger, "moral" picture if you will.
Do you trust your OS, compiler it was compiled with, and then trust all the hardware it's running on (which is probably even more insidious and capable of hiding stuff).

Let's not pretend that just because there's a sandbox at a higher level of the stack and some kind of user ability to accept/deny operations that things are secure.
how can a shape have a copyright
Oh, totally true. But its also possible to build a startup where you get customers contacting you that they love your product daily and its almost impossible to monetize.
No, but I assume a lot of AI bros are
Did Visual Studio finally make the jump?! (you could always just compile it as C++ code though)
A system that needs serious reform in the public's interest.
I don't have any answers just a prediction. I'm probably wrong.

>everyone who has asked to setup a billing situation has been ignored.

Well that's kinda messed up.
If it's a secret, it's only because the godoc format is so strangely obtuse about some things. It's sort of like markdown, but sort of not. You can do lists, kind of. You can do links, kind of. What a pain!
Maybe I can clarify, I felt there was an argument that living in a big city and using shared services (e.g. public transit) had a bigger impact than other alternatives. I was wondering what those alternatives that would be.

I also feel it was implied that this impact was negative - or else it wouldn't be an argument against the post - but that's besides the point.
If you can't install Linux nowadays, you can't install Windows either. And if you can't maintain Linux, you can't maintain Windows either.

I personally don't understand what "maintaining linux" is. I have a dock icon that says "update available", and then I click "update", and it runs the updates. Never had any problems with that (Linux Mint).

On Windows, each application has their own update schemes, and it can all go wrong there. And the updates of Windows, what a pain! All the "don't shut down your system now" kind of things... horrible.

This is not the olden days of Linux anymore you know, it's just all super user friendly. I would say more user friendly than Windows.

Try to do a major Windows upgrade, and compare that to a major version update of Linux.
I mean, freshman taking economics classes and learning "here's a theory and its assumptions here's a theory of why this may be wrong and are some counter examples" is going to be a lot better informed about the limitations of theories than someone that doesn't. It's a bit like if you want to learn the limitations of models predicting weather, you probably want a meteorology course, not a list of climate sceptic blogs written by people who hate climate models more out of political objection to their implications than the detail.

You don't need to take an undergraduate course to understand basics like capitalization (i.e sometimes people value stuff now because they think it will make them more money in future, and people will be willing to sell it for less because they have different expectations, risk tolerance or investment opportunities available to them.. its not exactly one of the more controversial or less practically applied parts of economic theory). But you probably want to read an introductory text, not the guy who pronounces that it's part of the heresy of "economics" and then constructs a straw man version of the theory that actually misses the most important bits.
R has had this since at least 2000. The man pages for each function contain an "examples" block, and these are expected (but don't need) to be executable.

They then took it a step further a couple of years later going down the literate programming path with SWeave, and later Rmd.
You can only claim that you don't notice a problem, not that anyone else doesn't have a problem or what it's cause must or must not be.
I came here to say this and you beat me to it! Love this part of elixir. It's a good way to think about your functions: if you can't write a doc test, you've probably written a function with side effects.
Maybe I'm oblivious to them, but I don't think I've seen meters in Soho/Chinatown/LES and I definitely don't remember them in the East Village. Are they more in the Tribeca/Fidi area?
Compared to other fuels, what are the advantages of hydrogen?
Clearly the reverse is also true :)

They don’t get to ‘pilver around the computers of private citizens’ though. Only those citizens directly affected by an existing hack (I read it as being under control of the hacker).

If I had the choice between just a nefarious hacker, and both the nefarious hacker and the NL security services having access to my PC I’d choose the latter.
I despise whoever wrote this article. It is almost completely devoid of any real information. Trying to gain an understanding of the situation based on the on the information presented here (Total crash and fatality numbers all time and last year, motorcycle numbers too) is impossible.

If you want to talk about this subject, find the following data:
Crash RATES of humans autopilot as well as other driver assistance systems in total and split over various time periods, compared to the number of systems in use in that period, and split over various categories like highway vs rural roads, or type of vehicles involved.

If you can not find this information then you know nothing and don't have anything to say. Just make your article about the fact that these numbers are important and do your best to get an idea. State the absolute number but explain how it is meaningless.

Right now this is just embarrassing.
Doesn’t Rust have something like this? Where you can write code in comments and the code is actually tested?

What this guy said. Point is the Apollo samples could even be classified into what impact site they came from, and the samples remained unchanged since the moment they were created. Life intrinsically must change its environment, and no such changes have ever been detected.
Copilot is to license violations (esp of copyleft licenses) what cryptocurrency mixers are for money laundering.

My employer (IMHO smartly) forbids use of LLMs in company IP and company laptops, etc. Many others I'm sure are doing the same, and many others will follow.
