This reminds me of an occurrence when I was around ten to twelve years old and in the shopping mall with my grandmother.

There was a person with a clip board hanging around in the concourse area who asked something to the effect of "I was wondering if you'd like to answer a survey about your genes?"

I excitedly agreed and we were led to a small interview room with a table.

Their questions started out with "What is the brand of pants that you have on?"

I was confused about this bizarre and seemingly orthogonal question as to why we had agreed to be interviewed, and asked my grandmother to look at the tag for me.

It took a few more questions like this before I realized the homophone confusion I had made in understanding the initial solicitation.
I bought two Springer books from Amazon that turned out to be print-on-demand. The font size and weight made them uncomfortable to read so I returned them.

I bought another self-published book that was also print-on-demand. The larger font size made it readable although the font weight makes the footnotes look quite bad.

I wish Amazon would show on the product listing that it's a print-on-demand book since they're inferior to traditionally printed books with the equipment currently being used.

> You are using the word "proper" twice as to indicate that it's well established what that means in terms of CSS.

To say "proper classes" doesn't imply anything about CSS. Classes are a markup concept. The class attribute predates CSS; CSS's selector language lets you target "classified" content, but it's not like classes were invented for CSS.

No it is not. It is the easiest way for a country to block as MiTM is not only possible, it is the expected way of how DNS operate. I think it is not very common in US (as of now) that the government censors using DNS, but it is very popular in countries like India.

And if you take 1000s of judges of different ideologies who could do it, I would rather put my trust in Google that they won't mistakenly ban my account.
You may be confusing purchasing hardware and cloud subscription from the vendor producing the e ink display (Visionect) with the Project E ink device itself, which merely sources it's hardware from Visionect. The linked page is about the Project E ink device (https://projecteink.com/products/e-ink-newspaper-art-display...).

The only place that page mentions a subscription is in reference to news paper subscriptions.
I agree

It's weird the chemistry that such a 'high-opinionated' individual can have in a team (and I see Musk's companies "managing him" in the same way) - you get the smartest and most opinionated technical people balancing the act because they want to pull the product in different directions, at the same time the other parts pulling against the sharpest edges and bringing the product to a sane equilibrium and at the same time you know you need to look good to the "Product master" (and not make him look bad)

Take that and you get Design Karen with the disposable keyboard
Not GP but I share similar experiences as you. Started coding as a teenager, but after I got my first job I did similar things as you for a very long time on and off until only a few years ago.

In part, it's good that you're trying out new things. That part should always be something we do. But the issue is when you don't have developed taste and principles to discriminate between things that just sound interesting and things you actually want to explore.

For me the solution has been to develop a small set of important values by asking fundamental questions. Why do I program? What does emotionally satisfy me (fun/pride/learning)? What is valuable for my users? What are computers for? What makes a good program?

Ask questions like that and you get a list of important things that you focus on.

Whenever I see something new, it first has to get through my value filter.

My reading, learning and tinkering list is still growing slightly faster than it shrinks. But I'm much more content and happy with what I actually end up doing or reading.
There are a bunch of labs that are making progress in reading the full nervous system (so to speak) realtime in live worms. I like especially the outputs from Andrew Leifer lab in Princeton. I anticipate some very interesting results to come from these labs in the next decade.

I briefly considered doing a postdoc in one of these labs, because I love working worms and agree with your proposition that next logical step in neuroscience is modeling and fully understanding an entire organism. The late Sydney Brenner asked for the same in 2011 [1].

But most academic labs doing well won’t even consider a postdoc application from a student who didn’t work in the exact same field. Solidified my decision to never be part of the Ponzi scheme that is academic research.

The beauty of C. Elegans is that you actually need very little to start working with them. All the strains are available for 10 bucks a pop, you can do most work at room temperature. I only need to invest on a very custom (but not necessarily outrageously expensive) microscope to start working on this topic in my garage. Which I absolutely plan to start in the next few years. I’ve done the math and it’ll cost me less than owning a cheap boat lol. If anyone wants to fund me I’ll be open to it too :)

What happens to the outputs in this case? I found the outputs to be both the most useful parts of notebooks, but also the most troublesome for diffing and versioning.
Personally, I feel very differently between collection of static information (like the CPU model, how much memory I have, or whether I'm still using a slow rotating HDD), and collection of dynamic information (which tabs of the settings app I use the most, whether I actually use Gnome Software at all, etc). The former mostly tells only how much money I have to spend on cool toys, and not much more than that; the later feels as if there's someone constantly looking over my shoulder, which makes me uncomfortable.

even though the cars aren't very smart, i feel like this is a good demonstration for why humans will always have something of value that an AI does not: silliness, when properly applied it can defeat anything
>Yeah, I don't buy that. Let me be quite specific: do you think someone would answer the following question differently "what is the likelihood that you will be on camera if you walk to the library and back?"

They'd probably answer that differently, same as if you asked them about someone filming them on their cell phone or any other technological change. That doesn't have much to do with your earlier question, though.

> There's a spectrum of private-public and it is not clean cut.

Sure, there is a spectrum, based on community norms. There is a degree of privacy you expect in a bathroom, and it is greater than the degree you expect at your table in a restaurant. I wouldn't describe being in a bathroom as being 'in public' though.

>Obviously not. Reread.

I think you should read the last paragraph you wrote on the comment I replied to. It was completely unclear. You were replying to a statement that even in Ben Franklin's time there was no expectation of privacy in public. You did not refute this, essentially saying 'times have changed, you're not considering how things have changed.' Logically, that means that there is now an expectation of privacy in public.
> Dont put effort just for the sake of grades, they are worthless.

I have this archetype which I constructed over the years, that I named "34-year-old Patrice".

By just looking at him, you wouldn't be able to tell that 34yo Patrice dropped out of high school, took some odd jobs in his youth which eventually got him into trouble, so he did time. At age 26 he got out and started turning his life around and despite all this hardship is currently a functional member of society and in some regards even more successful than his peers.

Point being, life is more complex than just taking and passing tests. I feel like more teenagers should be told this as early as possible.
Thats cool and all, but give me my invite already. Been on the waitlist since they first announced last year and still waiting for it till this day.

I've tried the selfhostable pds and its definitely looking good, the ability to selfhost our data ourselves. Plus like the article promoted, the ability to link username to our own domain name.
Still, most of these commands will also have bugs. Even if they didn't have convenient built-in ways to escape a restricted shell, I would not expect that these command-line programs, which weren't built to be run in an adversarial environment, weren't vulnerable to buffer overflows or logic errors.

The lesson appears to be that if you want to put users in a restricted environment, don't rely on unaudited unix command-line programs to enforce it. Instead do something at a level below that, such as using a kernel-enforced mechanism.

This is also the problem with sudo of course.
It’s unfortunate because Amazon PoD books have been big quality - sometimes. But the person setting them up has to opt for some of the higher price features, and check fonts/print samples.

(One of the advantages with PoD from Amazon is you can order boxes of your own books at cost.)
> Instead, the reason people go to customer service is because of a question that’s so specific, or complicated, or gnarly in some respect, that there’s no way the app will have the answer: you need a human

Frankly, such situations are pretty crap even with a human. Support systems are not set up to handle the high effort corner cases and usually you have to go through a couple rounds of escalation.

Good.
Yeah, monitoring which tabs a user clicks on in an application is creepy.
Bash is seriously underrated as a programming language these days.

About 80% of the code I now write is in bash, because usually the problem ones trying to solve has a trivial solution if you just use existing tooling in creative ways.
> We believe an open source community can ethically collect limited aggregate data on how its software is used

For me the big question is why? Proprietary software needs telemetry because the user is not in control and features are only added by the owner of the software, thus the centralized owner needs to know what features to add.

Open source is different. It is decentralized. Anybody can tweak the system to make it better for themselves. In addition, as opposed to proprietary software which sells licenses, the most common open source monetary model seems to be selling support in which case the people buying support can ask for the feature without telemetry.

To put it another way, you need telemetry for a cathedral since decisions are made centrally. A bazaar doesn’t need telemetry, since decisions are decentralized.
Indeed. And I think a good term here is "moral failure", which is exactly what the traditional meaning of "sin" is, i.e., doing something you shouldn't, that you know, to some degree, that you shouldn't (culpability is determined by the degree to which you understand you are doing something wrong, since understanding is a prerequisite for consent). And small sins are gateways to still greater sins. Indulge them enough, rationalize your indulgence, and you will slowly habituate indulgence and corrupt yourself and shift your moral Overton window. You become what you repeatedly do.

Sinning, in fact, corrupts the intellect and so it quite literally dulls your mind to reality over time. Why? Because in order to choose against what you know is the good decision, you have to turn your mind away from reality, from the truth. Do this often enough and it becomes a habit of blinding the mind to enable doing what you shouldn't. A blinded mind is degraded, worse at grasping reality, and this makes it even easier to commit still greater evil as it has become worse at determining what is objectively good. A downward spiral.

This is why a habit of self-discipline is important. What we call "self-denial" is really the practice of depriving yourself of what you desire that you know you should not desire inappropriately. The obvious example here is food, but it applies generally. Food, as such, is good. However, if I know that I've eaten enough, but an unruly desire for food surfaces, perhaps for food I know is bad for me, denying or repressing that desire is good. One of the purposes of fasting is actually the disciplining of the appetite for food. Consistent practice of self-denial has the effect of regulating the appetite and strengthening the dominion of reason over it, which develops one's integrity. Over time, that unruly desire, ruled over and purified by reasoned discipline, will better conform to the rational order, i.e., what is objectively good. Note how people who indulge their hunger against their own good only become more voracious eaters. They may even become disordered eaters (e.g., bulimia). Rewarding an inordinate (or disordered) desire only reinforces it.

Now consider how vicious, destructive, and irrational our consumerist culture is. It thrives on mindless and degrading indulgence of any and all desires. This is not the way.

There should be no debate that the items I mentioned are allowed under the GDPR because one or more of the lawful bases for processing applies. My point is that on many sites you're still going to be collecting and processing personal data for many legitimate reasons and therefore you still need to have all the policies and provisions in place for that data to be compliant with the data protection regulations. "Just don't collect the data in the first place" is mostly not a very useful argument for how easy it is to comply with the GDPR.

On numerous occasions in GDPR-related discussions I have seen people seriously questioning whether you can keep a basic server log with IP addresses in it of the kind that every web server has generated by default for decades. Often there are suggestions that such logs must be automatically deleted after a short period or the IP addresses masked in order to be compliant. And yet having records of which addresses were doing what on your site can be useful information for security and fraud prevention purposes months or even years after the records were originally created. So who is right? GDPR doesn't actually say and as far as I'm aware neither have any of the relevant data protection authorities yet so if you're running a site with these security concerns but also making an honest attempt to be compliant then you literally have no way to know how far you're allowed to go without crossing a line and upsetting a regulator.

That's just one everyday example that would probably apply to millions of different websites and that has been discussed many times but still with no clear answer. There are many more areas of ambiguity that even a well-intentioned organisation can easily run into. Backups and archives. Soft deletes when a user asks to delete something but you know for a fact that many users subsequently contact your support staff saying they've made a mistake and asking to restore the data. It's a long list with few clear answers.

Threads will also automatically, silently, and without your consent doxx and/or deadname you[1] by digging up your legal name from its massive social network and access to personal information and changing your display name to your legal name. This is horrible for everyone, but it also makes it incredibly dangerous for marginalized people who are often targeted for harassment, doxxing, as well as IRL harassment and stalking by people like GaysAgainstGroomers and LibsOfTikTok, which are, incidentally, being allowed free reign on the platform.

I believe the django app would use a python version of the internal ent ORM. You can get a sense for the style of ent/node from this external fork that was written while the author had access to the original ent https://entgo.io/docs/getting-started
And in general it's easier to have the snacks simply not be there, than to try to resist eating them. The habit of having random food and snacks lying around the house for 'just in case' is not a good one if you care about your health or weight. Unless of course you are actually required to eat frequently due to medical conditions.
Getting money that way isn't impressive, though. But surely there's some value to someone who's, presumably, intrinsically motivated to attend for some reason. That thing everyone born on the treadmill fakes being.
Why would you commit the outputs into git? That would be like committing compiled binary objects or pdfs. Of course the outputs are useful, but you just want to commit the sources.

The .ipynb stores inputs and outputs together in an unholy way. It is much cleaner to separate them. The inputs are python (or markdown) files that you can edit with a text editor and version control with git. The outputs are html, pdf, or whatever you want to nbconvert to and share.

The .ipynb file would only be useful if you want to share a stateful notebook, whose state cannot be easily reproduced by the people who you share it with. But that would be really bizarre and definitely in bad taste. Sharing the .ipynb is akin to sharing your .pyc files.

I love working with notebooks, but as a measure of hygiene I avoid .ipynb files altogether.
You can’t post ass, Threads is doomed
Some forms were replaced with bots. For me is the "Request invoice from vendor". I used to have a canned email I would copy paste into their contact form but now I have to answer a few questions the bot does so it is three or four copy/pastes instead of one. Just an annoyance but still, not progress.
Most countries and most people don’t need usd to conduct daily transactions. Why should crypto be any different?
Yeah, Facebook removed their CS. So when my FB account was compromised and they blocked the trusted contacts recovery method (I was told I was trying too often, the first time I tried it and so it went for months. Guess they had a bot to basically dos the trusted contacts system for stolen accounts), there was nobody who could help me.

There just wasn't anyone I could contact. I searched for days. I filled out and submitted multiple large support forms, none of which I ever received an answer to. Eventually I contacted a local Norwegian organization named Slett Meg (Delete me) and asked them to either get my account back or have it deleted. They had it back to me in like two days.
I feel the same. For me the learning is the enjoyable part, and building a 1000th TODO app or a mediocre blog does not appeal to me. Although I'd like to have a blog and it would be great if I had some examples of the frameworks I've learnt, it's not something that I'll spend my time on.
I don’t actually think temperance and logic like this moves the needle significantly for obese people. When you’re obese you need to lose 50, 70, 100+ lbs, not 10. You’re looking at fundamentally changing relationship with food at multiple levels to the point where it’s unrecognizable. I don’t think small changes in habit like this are in the same ballpark as what obese people need to become a normal weight, in the same way that I don’t think taking the stairs instead of the elevator is in the same ballpark as someone who wants to become a professional athlete.
Ralph's main work was on neural impulses in the visual cortex, and on measurements of various potentials in the living brain. He published a memoir called "Another Day in the Monkey's Brain". I believe he had potential medical applications in mind, but I don't think anything that was close by. Unfortunately, he died of an illness in 2011.

Owning a social media site is not like being the public square. It is like being a cafe or a bar on the public square. If you fire The bouncer and your bar fills up with Nazis and Klansmen, congratulations! You now own a Nazi Klan bar. It's not about unapproved thoughts. It's about the fact that normal people don't like being around unpleasant people.

If those unpleasant people are something you don't mind being around, there are places for that.

>Dont put effort just for the sake of grades, they are worthless.

They aren't worthless.

Grades make it easier and cheaper for you to go to college. Good grades in college make it far, far easier to get jobs and can get you in the door to significantly better and higher paying jobs or grad school.

So not worthless, just not the be all and end all.

Noam Chomsky says there are two kinds of AI.

1. The first kind of AI research is more like engineering for example creating self driving cars, language translation & object recognition.

2. The second kind of AI research is trying to replicate the intelligence of living organisms (humans, worms) with models that are consistent with what cognitive scientist have.

An example for such a system is one that would pick up any human language with very little supervision. Like children for example.

Open worm seems like no. 2. Any one have any interesting resources for no. 2 type AI? I would love to explore it some more.
