I don't like how these sentiments are written as if (C)SAM sharing is only type of crimes to ever be committed, which is devastating and PTSD inducing and life crippling, but say, not a murder. It could be one, or it could be major financial crimes, terrorism conspiracy, et cetera.

Yet, the only justification around for mass surveillance for camera pictures, the important societal matter to rest literally on "the other side of the coin", is "some minority of people could be sharing naked photos of young members of society for highly unethical acts of viewing".

wtf.

I can hardly describe myself as a specialist of any of this domain, but I definitely already heard about this hypothesis.

Now median average citizen might not know about it, but that’s a very different statement.
I will never, ever, buy a bicycle that will stop working if the manufacturer goes under.
Try the trades, especially electrician work. It's tech-adjacent but doesn't require high level math and the training programs are very inexpensive.

I'd also make sure that your current negative feelings RE: the job search aren't being transferred to programming as a whole. The right tech job may make you love programming again.
From TA:

Jerath said the differences aren’t about technical skill,
but about listening to patients and choosing appropriate
care. Previous studies point to differences in the way
that female physicians communicate and engage with
patients.

[...]

Overall, patients experienced complications 9% of the time
when treated by female surgeons and 10.2% of the time when
treated by male surgeons.

If "listening to patients and choosing appropriate care" sometimes translates into simpler/less-ambitious surgeries, that could lead to this small difference in complications and possibly worse long-term outcomes vis-à-vis the actual conditions that prompted surgeries included in this, the first mentioned, study.

And:

Another study published in JAMA Surgery on Wednesday
looked at more than 100,000 patients in Sweden who’d had
surgery to remove their gallbladders. Female surgeons had
longer operation times, but their patients had shorter
hospital stays and less invasive surgeries.

Male surgeons spent a mean of eight minutes less per
operation compared with women, even after matching similar
patients, surgeries and hospitals. Complications including
bleeding, perforations of the intestine or bowel, bile
duct lesions, leakage and abscesses occurred nearly 30%
more often for male surgeons.

What if more challenging gallbladder surgeries or gallbladder removals for people with more comorbidities were more likely to be undertaken by male surgeons or those patients were more likely to be referred to 'senior' surgeons who may be disproportionately male? Or... 100k gallbladder removals in a small country like Sweden is a lot of gallbladder removals. What if, over the years during which the surgeries look at by this 2nd study, two things happened: the share of female surgeons increased and there were also advances in technique that significantly reduced complications for gallbladder removal surgeries in Sweden?
It seems like any amount of snow that would impede biking would be more than enough that you couldn’t push it back to the street with a bike. (We used to run a private plow truck and it would use a surprising amount of fuel in a 10-hour day of plowing.)
How are individuals re-victimized with every share? That makes no sense. Your LinkedIn profile photo could be on a billboard in rural China, what would it be to you?
I sort of have a problem with "post modernism". I'm of the belief that as long as the culture continues to persist we will always be in the modern era.

I see the modern era as directly linked to the machine age.

My thinking is that at this stage design is so democratic and available to anyone that we are in the timeless era. I believe that 'post modernism" was invented by the second generation modernist and critiques as a way to create an artificial distinction.

I think now we have gotten to the point where modern aesthetics are driven by everything the modernists where dealing with the addition of code compliance.

The machine age has become so regulated as to dictate a WAG of 80% the design decisions.

I identify as a modernist.

I will check out the YouTube as I'm hungry for long form design content.
I’d imagine it is appropriated by people like the Jan 6 rioters or the folks who think it is not patriotic enough to fly an American flag so they have to grey it out and turn one stripe blue…. Stuff like that, people who think the symbols of America belong to only some Americans as opposed to all of us.
I'm not using a phone, but my first reaction was to lean closer and see if I had a hair stuck to my monitor.
Indeed, 999 is rather old, and many other European countries had different short codes such as 15, 17 or 110 and often they were different for police, ambulance and fire fighters, and some countries had no central emergency number at all. The coordination on 112 as a common Europe-wide number (including the UK) happened somewhere in the 1990s. Pulse dialing was on its way out by then, although it is the reason why it ends in a 2 and not a 1.

The median age of the whole population is rising, which may be concerning on its own, but makes age defined stats pretty meaningless.
Realistically it would never go this route. Instead what we see in China might become more common with social credit but this is also not necessary. A simpler approach is something that already exists. The denial to the online marketplace or just simply removing the ability for an individual to pay for things they need in their basic lives. As we move increasing towards a digital era who is able to access these resources can change. Movements like this will lead to increasingly worse problems as individuals who become trapped in these systems are forced into a life a crime it's an interesting thing to think about.

It's a terrifying thought when your entire life can come to an end just based on something as simple as your name entering into a registry list similar to a no fly list.
Gothub: Alternative front-end for GitHub written with Go
I need this because the new mobile-first Github design doesn't want to take up more than half the horizontal width on my Macbook's display. I have to zoom to 200%, at which point there is little content vertically, strain my eyes, or use the macOS system zoom to properly read anything.

To exemplify this, here's the same markdown from Gitea's home page on both Github and Gothub at the lowest browser zoom (Firefox) that fills the entire viewport.

Samsung is continuing with Exynos, but they're using ARM Cortex architectures nowadays, as opposed to the in house Mongoose Mx architecture described in this doc (the M6 never made it into a product, and the previous M5, M4, M3 cores were never any better than the contemporaneous ARM competition).

Qualcomm also just uses ARM Cortex nowadays, rather than in-house designs.
camelcamelcamel is a really old service, but it's still around and still works well for product price changes.
If your career can be significantly affected by devs fresh from bootcamp, you probably need to sort out your own issues than to complain here mate.
Yeah, during the period you mention, a lot of old urban area codes were being split up with what would have used to have been streetcar suburbs (and sometimes still literally sort of were around Boston for example) getting a new suburban area code. The result is that some number of people who had always identified as living "in the city" now found themselves with a suburban area code. (And, yes, real people actually did care.)

As you say, I recall there was some Seinfeld episode where someone broke up with someone because they didn't have a 212 area code or something along those lines. Which wasn't a totally outlandish plot point.
“Tech”? What do you mean by “tech?” Do you expect Apple to remove the camera, storage, and networking capabilities of all their devices? That’s the “tech” that enables this.

I'm not sure what to make of your "real world hotel information" statement when your search engine clearly thinks there's just one hotel in all of Paris.
> It's pretty unlikely that any exist though.

I don't see how that follows. You suggested that Pauli/degeneracy pressure is not well understood enough for us to conclude with certainty that gravitational collapse works and leads to black holes.

There is plenty of observational evidence for dark compact objects, though. How do you explain those?

How is it going to screw your system? And just disallow running in background, disallow internet access if you are on mobile. I don't want to fiddle around with my browser when I can install a light-weight app.

Not everyone is a "wow all apps very scary" person
> Is is bad for the individuals who are re-victimised on every share.

Absolutely.

> It is also bad for the fabric of society at large, in the sense that if we don't clearly take a stand against abhorrent behaviour then we are in some sense condoning it.

Much less clear. There's always been the argument: does it provide an outlet with no _new_ (emphasis on "new" so people don't skim that word) victims, or does it encourage people to act out their desires for real?

I don't have any answer to this question; but the answer matters. I do have a guess, which is "both at the same time in different people", because humans don't have one-size-fits-all responses.

Even beyond photographs, this was already a question with drawings; now we also have AI, creating new problems with both deepfakes of real people and ex-nihilo (victimless?) images.

> Does the tech industry have any alternate solutions that could functionally mitigate this abuse?

Yes.

We can build it into the display devices, or use a variation of Van Eck phreaking to the same effect.

We can modify WiFi to act as wall-penetrating radar with the capacity to infer pose, heart rate, and breathing of multiple people nearby even if they're next door, so that if they act out their desires beyond the screen, they'll be caught immediately.

We can put CCTV cameras everywhere, watch remotely what's on the screens, and also through a combination of eye tracking and (infrared or just noticing a change in geometry) who is aroused while looking at a forbidden subject and require such people to be on suppressants.

Note however that I have not said which acts or images: this is because the options are symmetrical under replacement for every other act and image, including (depending on the option) non-sexual ones.

There are places in the world where being gay has the death penalty. And if I remember my internet meme history right, whichever state Mr Hands was in, accidentally decriminalised his sex when the Federal courts decided states couldn't outlaw being gay and because that state had only one word in law for everything they deemed "unnatural".
Probably for far-right reasons; January 6th was called a "1776 Moment" by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, and the Proud Boys once sold merchandise with 1776 on it. So auto-complete on its own probably suggests a bunch of alt-right terms.

Intelligence lacks any legal definition, for starters. And if a law like that will provide an arbitrary line in the sand, it will just disincentivize AI research in general.

Because if it says so on their website (especially if it also says that it's binding), then they have it in writing and you can use that as evidence. Otherwise everyone could just make and sign contracts and go back to them claiming that their lawyers were mistaken in their interpretations of them, no?
There are significantly more people using the other modes, especially in active navigation. For example, it’s well known that Google detects traffic through the movement of active users (there was the wagon of phones traffic jam experiment). Imagine trying to do something similar with the amount of cyclists actively using Google with the necessary privacy settings enabled on any given route. It would be noisy but possible, but then on top of that Google is extremely strict with privacy requirements (the exact opposite of what everyone on HN assumes). And once you add all of Google’s voluntary restrictions like anonymity of inferred data and such, it’s nearly impossible to gather any signal, even in major cities.

Edit: By the way, the massive difference in potential users compared to all other modes is also why it’s so hard to prioritise work on cycling inside Google.
I've never seen anyone bothered by such a definition. It's a good definition that shows that you can construct ordered tuples in set theory without the need for a new primitive notion, and then you can promptly forget it.
It sounds like an entirely unreasonable assumption to me. Advocating for child safety is something that transcends political differences, and generally unifies people across the political spectrum.

I mean, there aren't many people who want paedophiles to be able to amass huge collections of child abuse imagery from other paedophiles online. And pretty much every parent wants their child to be kept safe from predators both online and offline.
I teach at a German University and I have never in a decade perceived even the slightest scintilla of any student creating "social justice pressure" in any of my or the classes of my collegues.

Whenever there was a social justice topic that made the waves, it was typically about some prof who legitimately acted like full blown asshole and thought everybody else has to put up with their ego — if anything disrupted education in that case, it was them, and the student's demands were basically a totally understandable demand to not have that guys ego get into the way of their education.

As I am working at a liberal art school you would think I probably have witnessed the worst already, but I didn't. Concerns about "social justice"-people putting pressure on us always come from people who got no idea and are out of the educational field for a while. As of now I am nearly convinced that this is probably a collective mind virus that is 99% fiction (and the 1% where it is true has so little impact it doesn't even matter).
I will bench Rapier against Kinetics in a few minutes and upload results to GitHub. I'm sure it's much faster though, it uses Rust

As for the speed the engine provides, not much. I just optimized my spatial hashgrid. It used to iterate over every entity, found the cell it was in, and checked the objects in that cell. I replaced it by iterating over each cell, and checking the entities in the cell. Performance went up significantly (iirc 1k squares took around 6-7 mspt, now its 0.4mspt)

The engine actually uses position based dynamics (the penetration depth changes position), as for extended position dynamics, I looked into it but "softness" isn't a field in the entity object, so I decided to not implement it (extended pbd iirc just fixes softness)
'(' is no longer context-free and is inconsistent

i would not see it that way. "(" still starts a group, now it would just be either a tag or an attribute.

you could still parse the whole tree into a native data structure based on the parentheses alone (well, except for the significant spaces between tags, but that's another issue), and later look at the first element in each group to decide if it is a tag or an attribute

the same is true when writing. an attribute name starts with a colon ":foo". if you want to add a value to the attribute, you have to use "()" to group it with its name: "(:foo bar)"

another benefit is that you can write: (:class foo bar baz) instead of :class="foo bar baz"
Remember that all sort of "leaders" supported expeditions to far away places. Suddenly an average in Parisian could see with their own eyes objects from far away lands.

As trade increased there would also be wooden boxes/crates with exotic markings.
Very petty. I’ve been a longtime advocate and evangelist for Hashicorp products, but jeez.

I felt they were ‘one of the good ones’ making great tech just to make great tech. Success and profit followed making great tech.

As someone who uses reddit semi regularly, it seems Reddit Inc won the battle, most of the subredits I frequent have gone back to normal. In the end it would seem their compromise on allowing APIs for moderation tools/bots while not allowing it for regular clients was enough for most people.

Every other aspect of life has been impacted by the computer's ability to process lots of information at speed. To say "no, policing must not use these tools but everyone else can" seems - well, quixotic, maybe?

If illegal data (CP) is being transferred on the net, wiretapping that traffic and bringing hits to the attention of a human seems like a proportional response.

Funnily enough I chose docker compose because it was such an easy abstraction. I tell it i want a bunch of containers and specify their network relationship in a simple flat file. I tell it that I want each of them to expose their debugger port on a different local port, then I can just hook up a normal debugger and go. Couldn't be easier!
As I see it for country to disconnect from AI they'd need to go fully isolationist. Disconnect the internet fully from the rest of the world, block all mail, block all imports, disconnect all financial markets, etc. Otherwise they'd simply become a consumer of the AI output of other nations. For example, if AI can predict stock markets better by efficiently parsing financial documents then eventually foreign investors leveraging AI would dominate. That will work for a while but eventually AI will get cheap and efficient enough to be easily hidden. So now you need the government to police for AI, search people, track everything they do and so on. Criminals using AI will rise to power and prominence until stopped. Essentially prohibition or the war on drugs all over again.

edit: And of course to better understand and deal with the AI threat the government would be given exemptions to the laws. These exemptions would be used more and more widely by the government to exert power while the population is not allowed to even look into what is possible.

Written words are deemed more valid than Spoken words.

So tweets are true, but what someone just spoke to me is not-true.

Better to take stance that all communication is fallible and has noise.

Plato 'wrote' about 'Atlantis'. Written means true?

A lot of Roman Historians, like Livy, etc... Embellished or were Propaganda, or even pumped up travel guides.

Where some Oral Traditions put a great deal of emphasis on memorization and can be just as good at passing information, even if the information is also wrong.

They both have fallibilities.
The Telephone effect exists in Oral.
But in Written, it is wildly miss-interpreted.

But, if across continents, cultures, methods of communication, there are flood myths everywhere. It is ok to wonder if they are based on some common occurrence. Can we put money on an exact date and cause based on some myth? Maybe not, but we can't ignore them either.
This book was published by Regnery in their ISI Books line and if you look at the rest of their catalog (https://www.regnery.com/books/isi-books/) there's a certain theme that's overwhelming. To be slightly more explicit, when so many of their other books are so obviously by and for right wing culture warriors, why would they have published this one if it was not?

(And if you look outside that particular imprint the publisher's politics become even more obvious)
Yeah, the same way people get value out of gambling.
I'm not so sure it's fundamentally different. I've been seeing a lot of violence that, while premeditated, seems to very much trace back to speech causing panic.
