It’s simply an example, though a somewhat extreme one, of the problem with the GP’s generalization.

I think it actually relates to the original article. There’s a difference between mere interpretation and what actually happened.

“You should forgive your parents, because one day you’ll be older and see their perspective” collapses “interpretations develop and mature” with “some events are a problem”.

Both can be forgiven and it’s probably a good idea to do so. I think it’s not helpful to generalize in that way.

Also abuse happens a lot. It may not be the majority but it is NOT rare.

I stand by my objection in this case

Being born in a country with a weak passport can hamper your travel experience in ways I never imagined before. I was born in one such country and travelling was always a pain. I needed a visa for pretty much every country worth visiting, was given the side eye during check in, and in some countries subjected to secondary checks. Switched to a European passport a few years ago and I’ve never had a better travel experience. Somehow, i felt I was treated with greater respect than before.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choice-supportive_bias

the tendency to retroactively ascribe positive attributes to an option one has selected and/or to demote the forgone options. It is part of cognitive science, and is a distinct cognitive bias that occurs once a decision is made. For example, if a person chooses option A instead of option B, they are likely to ignore or downplay the faults of option A while amplifying or ascribing new negative faults to option B. Conversely, they are also likely to notice and amplify the advantages of option A and not notice or de-emphasize those of option B

Actions like this is why I used to trust Google. Fighting government overreach should have been a critical part of technology and data.

But it seems Google was more political in its relationships than idealistic. And now the entire sector is compromised.

Apple will be one day compromised too. In some crevice of some unknown government office is a person working on a ten-year initiative to get access to inaccessible information in the tech sector. AT&T was compromised this way. Microsoft was compromised this way. Google was compromised.

What is to say Apple won't be compromised??
I know I’m from a different culture - but I don’t understand how the UK still has the House of Lords in 2023.

OpenBSD is exactly my point. It's deeply knowledgeable people giving their hard work away for free. There is nothing sexy about that.

Honorable, idealistic, yeah. I deeply value the people that work on OpenBSD. I wish they had fewer struggles in life. They should start by valuing their time and effort more, like lawyers, who charge 10s of thousands of dollars to read PDFs.

> Without these features Anytype is in a much smaller market (PKM) with less distribution than Notion/Coda/Dropbox Paper/Quip/Confluence/…

I can tell you that e.g. the whole education market in the EU is waiting for something like AnyType, as soon as they have implemented collaboration, which is very high on their roadmap. As a teacher I just can‘t use Notion or any other US-service based on US cloud services. All claims concerning GDPR are nonsense due to Privacy Shield. I am not allowed to use such services.

Therefore I hope AnyType copies as many good Notion features so that I can leave Notion and its abysmal performance and lack of offline mode for private stuff as well.

That means it's zero-cost and source available, not open source. As it's your software that's your choice, but please don't abuse the term "open source" to describe it. It's no more "open source" than, say, DaVinci Resolve is.
Are there sources other then the police, who failed to act and have a vested interest in finding excuses?

I agree with that. If we hand-wave away all cases, then we never tamp them down. Corruption would continue to grow.

So, we should call out all cases. Even if there are so many cases to cause one to become tired of the fight.

Maybe I was just reacting that in todays world the lines have blurred enough that it is sometimes hard to tell if you are fighting corruption, or if you have become the corruption.

From different points of view both these are correct:

"The US experienced a Coup attempt by a president that then did not suffer any consequences for his un-constitutional actions"

or

"The President, fighting for the American Way against the corrupt deep state government attempted to bypass a fake election to continue his quest to root out evil? "

> I’d love to hear somebody try to explain how this won’t negatively impact the labor market for journalists.

According to the OP: "[t]he tool...can take in information — details of current events, for example — and generate news content." IMHO, that's not really journalism at all, which I would define as gathering that information and deciding what bits are worthy of being reported (e.g. what's new and interesting vs what's already well-known and understood).

Honestly, this tool seems like another example of techies redefining the problem to what their program can do, instead of writing a tool to solve the problem. I would imagine that the "writing" part of a news article happens nearly automatically as a side effect of all the other activities a journalist has to do. Sort of like how the "writing a program" part of developing software will nearly automatically fall out of the task of writing a sufficiently precise specification. A tool that can translate such a specification into code is a nothingburger (despite its maker's inevitable hype about rendering software engineers obsolete), because that's not where the work is.

> I’d love to hear people saying hey maybe let’s not do this in order to maintain a human system run by humans for the benefit of humans and that includes paying humans for labor (when you could actually get equivalent labor from a machine) because it’s important to keep humans alive and creating communities and supporting each other.

I totally agree on this.

I might be fruitful to develop an AI tasked with hunting down and exterminating software engineers and tech executives who seek develop AI to replace human labor. /s

I don’t know if it will help, but if going to a doctor is something he resists, an alternative depending on where you are might be to go to Costco and get a hearing test, and buy a hearing aid from them.

Hearing aids are also available over the counter in the US and I haven’t tried them. My understanding is that you need to do the hearing test yourself and they guide you through it.

I can’t tell from your description if it’s anything wrong with the hearing aids or it’s about getting them adjusted properly. Feedback will happen even with pricey hearing aids, but a decent pair will automatically cut out before it gets too bad, and it should go away if you have them in your ears far enough.

> As opposed to tech people working in adtech?

No, not at all, I think we can say the same about those people. Or even more broadly, tech in general, we are only paid these absurd sums of money because our work can scale very easily/cheaply to our employers, as an individual I produce millions of US$ worth/month to my employer but as value to society I don't know why I'm being paid multiples of what nurses, and teachers earn. At least I'm not in adtech or finance, lessens the disgust a little.

I think a lot of us are very aware of that fact.
Lack of skilled labor seems unlikely. Perhaps they believe that the US would be more willing to defend Taiwan if there was no alternative foundry in Arizona...
The term load bearing always bring to my mind the breakdown of how the towers failed during 911 - especially how the plane cutting a lot of vertical steel beams redistributed the weight of the building onto other beams that were not rated to hold most of the buildings weight (while being heated) - they buckle and fail.

Guess I'm thinking of being very aware of how the structure reacts to failure, and not necessarily the strenght of all individual parts.
I also can’t use ligatures. In my head it’s two symbols and to see it as only one just complicates it. But I also feel like if you had a language and it just supported a Unicode symbol then I’d be fine with it. I think it has to do with the fact that I know / sense the facade and it causes me to always resolve it to its two character canonical form.
Hmm, might want to reconsider that [1]

Your goals sound laudable, but they do not alter the fact that your use of the term “open source” is, deliberately or otherwise, misleading.

> Our philosophy surrounding open-source is uncomplicated and clear.

It does not appear to be the case that your philosophy surrounding open-source is clear. You state very clearly, without caveats, that the product is open-source, which strongly implies that the product is, well, open-source without caveats – and this is not the case. That feels rather disingenuous, if not deliberately dishonest.

It is not unlike printer manufactures loudly proclaiming a page-per-minute value without any note about that rate is only attainable feeding entirely blank A6 sheets out of the device.
Cavalier here - bite your tongue! ;)

I loved my 4 years in Charlottesville, but don't think I could live there. The COL drop from DC isn't enough to be worth the move. And the horse country "I got mine, so f--- you" vibe rustles my jimmies (we get the same thing in the western DC suburbs).

Your police experience is "normal" for Florida plates, and applies to the state troopers and suburban police too. "FL tag, must be a drug mule." Infuriating, but at least you can take solace in knowing you weren't singled out any more than another other FL resident driving through.

We lose this when everything is recorded forever.

Stated more eloquently: https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1681340407857422336...:

“I need to say this, even if it does not make sense until decades ahead:

Human intelligence and a foundation of consciousness is just as much the ability to forget somethings as it is to remember.

We will have to face eternal memories with AI technologies and this will be hard.”

I’d replace AI with just IT in general. Relatedly, I used to believe in digital rot but now I’m not sure. I can for example search all the photos on my phone instantly to return images with a given text string. So the technology is improving to comprehend any data format and effectively retain its data.
To be honest, I must admit to believe that whoever else did this same tool with JavaScript, no doubt would have used a package.json that needed to download at least a couple hundreds of dependencies.
Pretty sure there was metadata in there already. Stablediffusion has been saving data into there for awhile now. It's not evil in intent. Just strip it out.

Signing into your personal accounts on a work machine is a terrible idea, as it opens up your personal accounts to search if there is a lawsuit (against you or against the company). That's assuming it's not already strictly forbidden by the company rules to prevent you from sending yourself confidential data.

Also outside of programmers, IT, and designers, you rarely get a choice in the company issued laptop. It never makes sense for a company to issue more expensive Apple computers instead of ThinkPads or Dell computers.
>Remember that this is the age wherein people are getting arrested for destroying LGBT, BLM, etc signs and art.

Do you mean vandalizing and/or destroying other people's property or pulling a sign away from someone else and destroying it, or do you mean being charged with assault for destroying their own LGBT sign? Because those are night and day different things. I would love to see a source if it is the latter, since you can legally burn the American flag, but you can't burn someone else's American flag.

>25 feet isn't very far. In the other states mentioned I believe it's 10 feet, which is reasonable

The 25 ft buffer means that while people aren't prevented from recording an arrest, they are prevented from making a recording that would actually show anything. Like the article says "They create a visual and auditory buffer likely to produce reasonable doubt in the courtroom. Is the officer’s knee on the suspect’s shoulder, or on his windpipe? Is the suspect fighting, or flailing? From 25 feet, with officers blocking visibility, phone cameras can’t capture crucial details. From 25 feet, they can’t capture choking sounds or someone crying “I can’t breathe.”"
To be clear, I'm in favour of privacy.

However your examples don't demonstrate how the many advances in western society depend upon privacy nor do they prove that it would not have advanced without privacy.

Alan Turing, for example, was open about his sexuality (an issue that bit him when a robbery took place long after his work at Bletchley).

Even had he been somehow taken out of the picture pre WWII it remains true that Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Różycki and Henryk Zygalski would still have cracked the Enigma cipher, built the prototype Bombe's and passed that knowledge to the likes of Tommy Flowers and William Thomas Tutte.

Turing proved a result applicable to the third part of Hilbert's second problem, the Entscheidungsproblem.

He was very nearly beaten to that as a first by Kurt Gödel who provided an answer to the first two parts of Hilbert's second while indicating an approach to the third part.

Turing was beaten to the goal by Alonzo Church who demonstrated the halting problem for lambda calculus is not effectively calculable.

Later, in 1939 J. Barkley Rosser highlighted the essential equivalence of "effective method" defined by Gödel, Church, and Turing.

So, uhh, yes - it would be nice to see some notion of proof come to in to play here.
