Ethical theory is an interesting subject in its own right. Even if studying it doesn't make you a better person, that doesn't make it useless, any more than studying abstract areas of math or physics is useless.

That being said, some work in practical ethics has had a huge impact. Peter Singer's work on animal ethics started the modern animal rights movement, and his essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality" has inspired many people to donate a lot more to charity than they otherwise would.
I have no expectation that everyone will fall for it, but I've seen my own elderly father get confused and drawn into scam ads. My irritation is that what little accountability in advertising that existed in the past is now gone, and that "platforms" are failing the general public by allowing these things to propagate.

Put a button in the corner of the ad that says "report this", and get a human to check if the ad passes a smell test. If a platform can cancel accounts of random people for violating policies at random, they can put a small amount of effort into enforcing policies on advertisers.
Please expand on this?
This idea is utterly and completely terrifying. I don't see how anything but bad can come of it.

Okay fine, but replace "companies" with "people" and remove "mission critical" from my comment and the question still stands. Setting up and managing a Git repository on a Raspberry Pi in your own home is at least an order of magnitude more effort than creating a repository on GitHub or a similar service, and you miss out on all the non-Git-related benefits of using such a service.
Wait, does Hans Zimmer use this for his percussion lines?
I think they're essentially using "hashtags", so they could have many for one note.
There are social network UIs written for Matrix the same way ActivityPub is used for Lemmy and Mastodon and Flickr-clones. I expect these to multiply as the protocol gains more features too. Recent Matrix enhancements are about modeling content relationships, seemingly to this end.

And yes, the entire foundation structure of the platform and protocol are quite different, that's kinda the point. ActivityPub and Matrix protocol are similar in this regard. And yes the AP impls are seeing huge explosions in growth in the last 3 weeks.

Riku, I can't reply to you because this site is a joke, but I don't think I want to anyway, you don't seem to get the point, across the board. Not everything is about profit for bleep's sake.

Takes their shoes off in the "entrance" (or mud room maybe, though I've never known anyone who calls it that) of the house, which is generally a small tiled area immediately inside any doors that lead to the outside. Shoes are left on the tile (or a mat / plastic shoe thing) and then folks walk without shoes from the entrance area into the rest of the house.
In such a situation, a (possibly poor) mitigation would be to ask your child to go through practice standardized tests (e.g. 10th grade PSAT, SAT, ACT) earlier to see which areas they might need help with.

At least you’d have a (little) bit more visibility into possible areas to work on with your child in the future instead of the black box that you are both currently facing.
That's a sign your flip flops are either poorly made, or don't fit your feet well. Personally, all my former water polo buddies swear by Rainbows, but I've been told Reef makes some good ones, too. The important thing is that your feet need to be able to sink into the sandals a bit (Rainbows have a pretty brutal break-in period until the leather compresses to match your feet), and the strap that goes between your toes needs to be soft enough to be comfortable, but wide enough that it snuggles into the slightly flared base of the gap between your toes.

Self-licensing strikes again

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-licensing
I find this part very compelling

vi basic grammar is verb followed by object; it’s nice because it matches well with the order we use in English, "delete word". On the other hand, it does not match well with the nature of what we express: There is only a handful of verbs in text editing (delete, yank, paste, insert… ), and they don’t compose, contrarily to objects which can be arbitrarily complex, and difficult to express. That means that errors are not handled well. If you express your object wrongly with a delete verb, the wrong text will get deleted, you will need to undo, and try again.

Kakoune’s grammar is object followed by verb, combined with instantaneous feedback, that means you always see the current object (In Kakoune we call that the selection) before you apply your change, which allows you to correct errors on the go.

Unfortunately, I'd rather see this as an alternative input mode in vim/vscode/nvim than separate editor, so I won't need to throw away all knowledge/plugins/dotfiles accumulated over time, than switching to completely new editor. Baggage is hard.
Of course 5% is insignificant when talking about the experiences of a cohort overall.
I was a student at the time, and harpsichord tuning was a side job (~10 hours/week). My big "competitive advantage" over piano tuners was that I was very much into playing baroque music and knew a lot about unequal temperaments and harpsichord technology. I could also do pianos (tuning only, no maintenance), and did a few when needed, but harpsichords need tuning once a week plus an extra tune before every concert. For comparison, most pianos tend to get tuned on a several-monthly cadence, so you need a lot more clients to fill up a schedule.

Essentially, instead of a fee for service (like piano tuning) product, harpsichord tuning is a subscription product. However, I think there were <10 other people who tuned harpsichords in the same major metro area, so the market is pretty tiny.
I love toe socks but it's hard to find good quality ones that I can wear in non-sport scenarios.

For instance injinji does great toe socks but they are overly branded, is there anything that doesn't stand so much out?

Stuff the ballot box! Seems like it would be relatively cheap for a corporation(s) to register countless entities "including but not limited to corporations, partnerships, trusts, and limited liability companies", which already register there for legal arbitrage, and then really create their own set of rules.

I'm a very high level programmer, turned Data Scientist, turned founder (I successfully exited my prev startup). I still read this paper (a few years ago). I guess if you're "born" a programmer, all these nerdy/curious things are entertaining. One of my "developer" passions is multithreading and concurrency. Even now running my second startup, I, from time to time, sit to write some concurrent puzzle programs.

I also like to follow Tobi Lütke. The guy is the founder/CEO of Shopify (with all which that might entail), and he still tweets amazingly interesting low level coder stuff.
Absolutely. There are regular darkroom classes you can sign up for. It's kind of hard to get a spot because the classes are small but my teacher said people also have learned how on YouTube and then come in to practice.
This is totally wrong.

Google has over and over and over again collected as much information as possible about users, and then guarded it zealously against others (while profiting by exploiting it).

This is unequivocally different from collecting information and then giving it to others, which is what will happen as part of this sale.

I can't say with confidence that this is the first time that Google has sold personal information to a third party, but I'm not aware of any other cases, and certainly doing so has not been their traditional modus operandi.

My experience at Google (not recently) was that Google is/was so zealous about properly siloing and guarding PII that it was at times an obstacle to preventing criminals from defrauding Google for large sums of money. Never mind selling it to third parties, but in some instances teams would require high-level (director-level?) sign-off to let other teams (e.g. anti-fraud) see the information they'd collected. I cannot say if this is typical, but I saw it happen more than once. That is a pretty privacy-focused company.

Google is also zealous, though law-abiding, about pushing back on the government demanding information about users. That doesn't mean that the government never wins (so think twice about giving Google information that will get you in trouble with the government), but it's in stark contrast with the "welcome to Room 641A, yeah sure wiretap all our users" attitude of the telcos. Everybody talks like PRISM was the fault of "the tech companies", but that's literally backwards.

So, is this sale-of-personal-information an absolute first? As far as I know yes, but maybe not. But it's definitely not business-as-usual for Google.

I'm on a federal dev team that is mandated to use Teams, unfortunately, but this looks great.

I think a big barrier to getting anyone to transition from Slack or anything else to Noor would be trust & security. I'd lean more into what you're doing to that end, up front and center. I could only find a blurb at the bottom of the FAQ, after the mention that the avg age of your team is 23.

Good luck! Congrats on launch.

There were compiler optimizations for clearing by iterating. I haven’t looked at the code, but I suspect this won’t be much more efficient than iterating was with the optimizations.

A fictional variant of this story also shows up in Peter Watts' novel Starfish.

In that version, the neural net is trained to manage the ventilation system of an underground train station, based on data about passenger movements. Unfortunately, it ends up simply paying attention to the display of a clock that happens to be visible through one of its cameras. And when the clock breaks, a bunch of people asphyxiate. A bit implausible, but memorable.

Apple _really_ holds grudges.

My friend once asked me to help him with an autonomous RC car race, where we’d go to a warehouse and train the car around the track.

After a few weekends of iterating and improving the model/training set, we were convinced we’d win the next race… only to lose almost immediately by crossing the lines on the track.

We did some inverse model explanation work which quickly showed that our car was paying attention to the overhead skylights more than the actual tracks. Unlike the other weekends, it was a foggy day!

A quick hack to cut out the top 50% of each training image brought our car back to its prior reliability.
> No, they wouldn't, because payroll taxes exist, and are paid by both the employer and employee.

Here that is not the case. The employer pays half of an employee's contribution into a retirement and insurance fund, but that is not a tax. That is additional compensation provided to the employee.

What's the logic behind taxing payroll?

> I was taking issue with your misuse of “human” for what ia properly “labor”

Labour is the productive output of a human. Capital gains is a property of the exchange of capital. The closest analog to capital gains with respect to labour is in the sale of humans (i.e. slave trade).

You haven't taken issue with anything, you've only repeated that it is silly to try and talk about capital gains and labour together. They are not meaningfully compared or contrasted.
> it's the culture of the area to be passive aggressive versus direct.

Absolutely nailed it. This is exactly what it is.

It definitely does feel a lot more common on the west coast than the east coast (I'm in the west). I love a lot of people on the west coast, but it can be refreshing sometimes working with east coast people :-)
> "When I finally got to the checkout page, I had to manually change the shipping for each item from $5.99 standard shipping to free shipping (because I hit the $25 threshold)."

Exactly this: https://imgur.com/a/Xi4ZO3i.

Notice how I am being told that I'm "saving $5.99 if I enroll in Prime", and the default selection is the $5.99 delivery option, however I qualify for free shipping. Further, this free shipping option changes location between purchases, making it even more confusing for customers to not be unnecessarily overcharged.
Yes, that was my assumption as well. I was frustrated to see it reach a high of rank 33 and not make the front page.

I later submitted a news article which got flagged despite having additional information. The same issue was met by the third link in this post .

There is a distinction between understanding and practicing ethics. It's like taking a course on leadership vs being a good leader - some people might have a legitimate desire to be a good leader, but not know the best techniques; taking a course allows them to understand how to be a good leader so that they might become one. As another example, an atheist could study theology not to better practice religion but merely to better understand it.

Someone can likewise have every intention of being ethical, but just be bad at it. Conversely, someone could know ethics well and simply choose to disregard them and do unethical things anyways. An ethicist isn't necessarily someone who practices ethics particularly well, it's someone who understands the concepts of ethics well.
Funnily enough I'm not very familiar with languages I don't like, probably because I elect not to use them.
One of the lead designers on my team called Figma "production tool" when I rolled it out to the org a few years ago (and replaced Sketch)

She eventually came around, but these latest features may push her over the edge. I kind of feel bad. :-S

It would've been nice if they'd incorporated more design focused features:

> Improved and more intuitive drawing tool. Bezier experience in Figma is horrendous

"a controversy surrounding an invitation to prominent vaccine scientist Peter Hotez to debate anti-vax charlatan and spoiler presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr"

Quite the unbiased opening... a close relative of a beloved President, son of a former Attorney General and also candidate for President, is dismissed as a 'spoiler'?

And what would his political stances matter in a question of science?

This is not good journalism...
But they can stress your servers with tons of requests. The point of requiring registration is usually to prevent DoS, not to prevent the models from being used for certain purposes.
And my general experience with anti vaxers is that they generally look into more resources and research and put much more thoughts into their decisions than a regular person. Which I generally view as a positive quality. I put much more value on the process by which a person reached his decisions than whether they were correct in one particular instance.

Whether I agree with their final conclusion is irrelevant, I can't with straight face call a person who spent his time carefully considering his decisions less intelligent than a person who didn't spend a single moment to think about it. Even if they reached the wrong conclusion.

It's actually hilarious that you call them mob mentality. Going with the herd automatically is the most mob mentality possible.

Have you tried talking to Trump supporters before you assumed they are "cult" and "mob"?

You're exactly the kind of person I directed my post at. You've been successfully fooled into thinking other people are stupid without even trying to understand them.

And for the record, I think flat earthers are more intelligent than people who never even asked themselves how do we know that the earth is spherical. They are not intelligent because they couldn't understand the answer, but they are more intelligent than a person who never even asked the question.

The people I consider more intelligent than flat earthers tried asking this question, looked for the solution and could understand basic geometry enough to understand why it is true. Anyone else isn't more intelligent, just more conformal and knowledgeable. In the case of knowing the earth is flat, it's such well known fact it's just pure conformity never asking why, and I don't value that at all. It's not an intelligent trait.

> I should probably give KSP a try again. I guess there's an initial threshold I got to power through first, as I got a bit exhausted after the first mission hehe.

What made all the difference for me was a mod (Kerbal Engineering ...something?) that calculated ∆v for each stage as you were building your rocket. Coupled with a ∆v "subway map" of the game's solar system, this solved the problem of running out of fuel half-way through the mission. I eventually learned how to do the math on my own, but I would've given up long before that happened, if not for this mod. It's been some time since I last played KSP, but I hear that this functionality is now built into the stock game.

Good luck with your game! Give me a shout if and when you need someone to play-test it :).
That's mostly a fair assessment.

Though I think it useful to add:

If the solution could be entirely automated it should be a self-service website somewhere. I'm all for automating away call centers as much as possible, but I think we also need to stop thinking of call centers themselves as bottom of the barrel "miserable and/or meaningless jobs". It should be the case in 2023 that if I'm resorting to calling a call center I need expertise or creative problem solving that I can't get from a self-service website. Depending on how you define Expertise some of it is sort of automatable, but Creative Problem Solving is unlikely to ever be easily/cheaply automatable, there will likely "always" be a need for call centers with real humans for these reasons, and shouldn't be considered minimum wage skills and maybe should be treated as something far better than "miserable jobs".

I don't expect today's owners of call centers to realize how much expertise and creative problem solving is invested in their labor and to adequately reflect that in their pay statements and other ways that account for how miserable or meaningless that they make those jobs feel. But it should be something to appreciate: if there's still a human doing the job, there's probably a good reason, and it would be great if we respected those people for what they are actually doing (including very human skills such as expertise and creative problem solving).

I suspect, that the main problem is inconsistency in the underlying mental model, because there’s multiple individuals doing that and/or over longer periods of time.
