Generally, if you are doing something adversarial on a massive scale, plausible deniability is next to meaningless. You aren't going to win in a system that you are trying to fight against.

If you are doing something smaller personal means that just happens to be against the law, if you have to resort to plausible deniability, you already fucked up in a lot of ways. The sad truth is that many of the "hackers" are like a few steps away from being script kiddies, without basic understanding of opsec. The actual good people all realized that its much easier to go white hat and get paid reliable salary and live a comfortable life rather than fight an ideological war that doesn't matter in the end.
Great take. It is really a mix of several factors, each one leveraging the other, and your arguments are great.
> According to CEO Steve Huffman, who hosted an Ask Me Anything (AMA) this afternoon, the company has never been profitable.

Why would anyone invest in this IPO they are trying so hard to make happen? I can’t think of anything left for them to do after this length of time to become profitable. The only things left are the things they are doing that alienate the user base. It seems Reddit is Uber and WeWork with a different hat on.

Nobody said the AI needs to be sentient to enslave us all. Highly supervised AI systems mess up all the time and we often have no idea why. It "enslaving" us or whatever the overly extreme paperclip analogy is that is the current hot thought-experiment of the week is usually just talking about a mismatch between what we want and what the AI does. This is already a huge problem and will simply become a bigger problem as AI gets more powerful and complex.

Imagine you asked GPT-7 to execute your business plan. What it does is so complex you can't know whether its plan will violate any laws. Let's say you're not an evil corporation and want to do good, but that it is impossible to compete without also using AI.

At some point these systems may well become so complex we have no idea what they're actually doing. But empirically they seem to do what we want most of the time so we don't care and use them anyway.

The problem is not only people using this new tool for evil. The problem is also the tool itself. Because it might be defective.

I don't see anything wrong with using OBS for screen recording.

I use it for streaming as well, but having it installed, I also use it for recording when I need it. Also for video capture from the webcam.

OBS can do no wrong to me.
I think most people who run sub-reddits don't make meaningful income from the platform. Yes, one could advertise certain things, but it is rarer in larger communities.
To an extent. Although the stock price includes the performance of Instagram, doesn't it?

But I count as one of those, and the only time I tap an ad is by accident.

The ads are literally every 3rd slot (for me at least).

What do the advertisers get out of this?
If the reply is correct, the only issue there is that they're compiling in C89 mode. If you pass `-pedantic -std=c89` to GCC, it too will warn on C99+ features. If you pass `/std:c11` or `/std:c17` to MSVC, C99+ features should work.

It's not an excuse, but at some point there is little else to be done. The benefit of society as a whole must be considered.

Take as an example pedophiles. There is a movement in the netherlands which tries to implore them to speak up about their "dark" desires and seek help. In which case they should be helped. But once they have acted on their inner demons I don't see how we should just say well they weren't themselves.
I feel like some of my groceries are decently competitive markets. But brand momentum and just information insensitivity keeps me (and others) from buying a different product just because their price went up less. And if the price increase is inevitable, then by delaying your price increase compared to competitors only gives you a limited window for gaining customers based on the better price.

In such a world, if your competitors are doing greed-flation, it might prove that you are leaving money on the table unless you also join.

Sadly this logic effectively yields collective action between competitors without any illegal agreements.
I mean, humans are a social species, and tribal societies that live off the land have a chain of countless generations passing down wisdom and customs to train their people on how to effectively survive in their respective environments, and still they rely on their community to effectively do so.

To take a single (or even a couple) of fully formed adults without any of that lifelong education and training, who are accustomed to a wholly different environment and way of life, and to drop them into a survival situation without that surrounding community to rely on, seems like an obvious recipe for failure.

Not that I’m arguing that tribal life is actually desirable over a modern western lifestyle.

That's exactly what people with indefensible politics say during political discussions, when somebody raises a point they don't like and can't counter.

If your politics are too vile to discuss and defend, then don't participate in political discussions. And stop trying to inject your own politics while telling others not to mention their, like you've been hypocritically doing repeatedly.
San Antonio barely has a functional downtown, there's a grim shell of tourist oriented restaurants and hotels immediately around the river walk but really struggles to be a center of business. There are few condo buildings downtown. Unlike Dallas and Austin San Antonio hasn't really seen a resurgence of it's downtown region.

Furthermore the river walk was built in the 1930s as a way to improve property values, and remodeled a handful of times over the decades, that's not a recent innovation
> In Greek αιτιολογώ and δικαιολογώ exist, where the former identifies causality and uses that to reason on the events and the latter is the same as justifying. To my knowledge the former doesn’t have a translation in English.

I've thought about this same idea before, but especially as it relates to film/television, and writing.

Think of your favourite TV show.

If when you first watched that show, you were told no one else had ever watched it, or ever would watch it, would your engagement with it be the same?

Part of our enjoyment of art is the shared cultural context. Maybe saying "art" here isn't the salient thing. Maybe it's our engagement with ideas.

I personally haven't even considered this concept as much in relation to music, because while I do love to deeply engage with music and the shared narrative behind it, both real and imagined, I also just like to put on music that sits in the background as a tool to drown out noise while I'm working, walking, etc.
A $3000 drive sounds surprisingly tempting if it gives me access to 1 TB for only $3 afterwards, assuming that the drives have a decent amount of life to them.
Lots of users that are not you nor I click on ads. I should know, I used to run Instagram and Facebook ads for my product and my user acquisition cost on that was far lower than my average revenue per user. People absolutely click on ads and buy stuff.
Let's adopt a legal realist point of view. RIAA/etc. have money, lots of lawyers with large briefcases, and lobbyists so as to basically write the law. The ordinary YouTuber doesn't have tohe resources to defend, and there aren't any commercial interests on the other side here.

So even if the output is technically made entirely by LLM, they'd find a way to slightly tweak the process or even the law so it applies. Someone will do a trivial low-pass filter and then claim copyright. At worst they'd find a flunky to say they 'wrote' the music.

The ship hasn't sailed at all, very few things in life are really set in stone (for example fossils).

Doesn't mean a transition is easy or cheap. Nor will it be quick. After spending years and years both in the US and Western Europe, I wish for a healthy mix of cars and public transport. As it stands, this means significantly and heavily reducing cars in high density settlements where public transport is already sufficient or generally viable in the future.

I absolutely love cars and driving but I despise them in city centers. So much property could be regained to improve the daily lives of millions of people in various ways. There is a multitude of projects which have shown how successful this approach is.

One such project is the ban of cars from the Jungfernstieg area in Hamburg. 5 years ago you would walk along Jungernstieg and hundreds of cars would pass by, especially young men showing off their shitty, loud, tuned Mercedes CLAs to everyone. Then the city reduced access for cars there upon popular request and repurposed some lanes for plants and bicycles.

It took a while until people understood [1] but eventually they did. All sources in German.

I'd avoid loaded terms like "smoking gun" in this discussion. My point is that if the pandemic was caused by a leak, then that would be a prior that could aid in future decision-making.

I don't understand your position that we should not seek the truth. Somehow knowing the truth about a past event can have no bearing on the future?

As far as I know you can't change your gender without going through an administrative process at the government, which at least means changing your identity card.

Hay guys.
There are many similar ones, but I like this one from The British Museum the most, because of the teacher:

"Irving Finkel teaches how to write cuneiform I Curator's Corner Season 4 Episode 8 #CuratorsCorner"

Who is he:

> Irving Leonard Finkel is a British philologist and Assyriologist. He is the Assistant Keeper of Ancient Mesopotamian script, languages and cultures in the Department of the Middle East in the British Museum, where he specialises in cuneiform inscriptions on tablets of clay from ancient Mesopotamia.

It's short enough for an introduction, funny and entertaining, and broad enough, with some sprinkling of information that gives an idea of the complexities of the language too, not just the cuneiform itself. An Assyrian name like "Ashurbanipal" is really complex, apparently, with three parts, one part written in Sumerian but not using their word and pronunciation and ignoring that one could have written it using syllables from Assyrian... it's quite messy. That can be ignored for the purpose behind the submitted website, but I think anyone who wants to know a bit more about cuneiform probably wants it to be in the context of when and how that writing system was used, together with the language.

>It's a shame we're losing the biggest internet forum

I'm looking forward to that. back in the day it was "normal" to have topic related forums/communities. walled-garden-groups on social media and centralized solutions like reddit killed those, because they were easier to set up and manage. but the community was no longer really owned by someone from that community.
I think this is https://www.researchgate.net/publication/363589756_Capitalis...

> This paper assesses claims that, prior to the 19th century, around 90% of the human population lived in extreme poverty (defined as the inability to access essential goods), and that global human welfare only began to improve with the rise of capitalism. These claims rely on national accounts and PPP exchange rates that do not adequately capture changes in people’s access to essential goods. We assess this narrative against extant data on three empirical indicators of human welfare: real wages (with respect to a subsistence basket), human height, and mortality. We ask whether these indicators improved or deteriorated with the rise of capitalism in five world regions - Europe, Latin America, sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and China – using the chronology put forward by world-systems theorists. The evidence we review here points to three conclusions. (1) It is unlikely that 90% of the human population lived in extreme poverty prior to the 19th century. Historically, unskilled urban labourers in all regions tended to have wages high enough to support a family of four above the poverty line by working 250 days or 12 months a year, except during periods of severe social dislocation, such as famines, wars, and institutionalized dispossession – particularly under colonialism. (2) The rise of capitalism caused a dramatic deterioration of human welfare. In all regions studied here, incorporation into the capitalist world-system was associated with a decline in wages to below subsistence, a deterioration in human stature, and an upturn in premature mortality. In parts of South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America, key welfare metrics have still not recovered. (3) Where progress has occurred, significant improvements in human welfare began several centuries after the rise of capitalism.
The latter is roughly what we do on the project I work on:

English string directly in the source, plus a human-readable identifier that helps translators understand the context of the string they’re translating. One script to extract all strings, and another to load all translations.

Works fine really.
Yep. Its incredible that for decades we havent developed a decentralized internet of "apps" that is more aligned with how the economy works.

In some cases the current platform design is totally absurd: like linkedin (or github or azure) thus microsoft having insider knowledge about anything that happens in the digital space.

This is basically down to society being largely tech illiterate and various people taking enormous advantage of that.
"But yes, it is also a war for independence of a small nation against an evil empire. "

It's pretty obvious when you have this. Semi-popular video game journalist Tim Rogers has it, and you wouldn't mistake anyone else's work for his as a result.

(There was a time maybe 10 years ago when people tried to do something called "new games journalism" basically imitating him, and it was mostly just embarrassing for everyone involved, because normal people can't construct a review of something entirely out of personal anecdotes.)
This sounds neat and all but I can “create” much faster with my fingers.

I think it boils down to it being a “programming language”

What we need for AR / VR is “programming gestures”

This way there is no syntax but visual mediums you manipulate via gestures. And this would get compiled to a binary which can be executed.
But we already let learner drivers try things out on the road, and their supervisors can’t even take control. Human drivers crash and make mistakes too… where is the uproar for allowing them to drive?

Where as Tesla only allows fully licensed drivers and until recently only pretty good ones at that.

I think you’re just regurgitating the standard anti-Tesla talking points… and avoided the questions on the fact Mercedes hasn’t tested this in actual streets and has just rolled it out and while it’s admitting liability isn’t that just as bad as what Tesla is doing? Worse in fact as there no bar for getting this feature, and it doesn’t get shut off for misuse (which FSD beta does).

Given all the approaches (with a hope of working) are using AI - how do you get the data to train the AI? This isn’t a Tesla problem, this is an AI training problem. Tesla already makes heavy use of synthetic data, and using real world human drivers to collect training material. How would you do it?
I don't think it is ultimately knowable in a way that is helpful. We need to act as if any of the possibilities happened because any of them could.

I guess I also don't see why articles like this are needed to work on pandemic prevention.

As a person who used to have total recall, count yourself blessed. Aside from ruining intimate, family, professional, and casual relationships by trivially quoting and correcting hypocrisy verbatim, and having an encyclopedia of cringe that keeps me from sleeping in peace and being a wreck when I get to address a crowd or do anything else that can make me the center of attention, I have to say that the most intense way in which you have a sense of loss and mortality comes from the realization that you are losing your gift and your mind is always filling in the memory gaps and you have a lifetime of knowing that you will find the perfect answer to the question of how you remember the past and instead of the answers you seek being unknown to you, you have invented a particular piece of history that never happened. It hurts and you have to be careful not to make a mistake and writing down important things is something that I started doing in my 40s. For all of my education, I remembered everything and never relied on notes. I finished a bachelor's degree and I never had a notebook. Just a calender. Fun fact: calendars are like an table of contents that point me to information. Another fun fact: I don't make a clear distinction between me and other people speaking, and have an easy time extracting and storing meaning from conversation or lecture or videos with info.
