Experience that it's useful to be clear what you're advocating vs explaining. Not particularly serious consequences but it's irritating when you come back to a post where you say "Holocaust deniers believe X" and find multiple people have read that as "I love Hitler". (Only a slight exaggeration). That's less of an issue here than elsewhere but one develops habits.
You pretty much delineated the “modernism” era and the era we are currently stuck in, “post modernism”. From the construction of the Eiffel Tower to WW2, you get rough markers indicating that era.

A great book regarding art in particular is called “The Shock of the New”. There’s also an 8-part (nearly 8 hours long) TV version of it you can find on YouTube.

Robert Hughes, the art critic who wrote the book agrees with your assessment I believe.

Governments are not good at this type of thing.
It requires careful analysis, planning and actual decisions.

But slap on a regulation and require private companies to do the hard work for you - now we are talking!

For what it's worth, I don't think using Signal or Threema is enough to make you an E2EE enthusiast, and wanting to speak without your speech later used against you is maybe the purest reason for E2EE. I meant more so the type of people who are into Tor or I2P.

ok, and in theory, with new generative algorithms, do you think it's still ok? Suppose apple implements this, suppose someone finds a way to generate meme images that can trigger apple's algorithm(but human can't see anything wrong), suppose that someone wants to harm you and sends you a bunch of memes and you save them. What will happen? Or what does happen if somebody is using generative algorithm to create csam like images by using people's face as base but the rest of the image is generated, should this also trigger csam?

Also, you can not guarantee that apple/google will use only known instances of csam, what if, govt orders them/google to scan for other type of content under the hood, like documents or god knows what else bc govt want's to screw that person (for the sake of example let's suppose the targeted person is some journalist that discovered shady stuff and govt wants to put em in prison), bc you know, you don't have access to either algorithms and csam scan list that they are using, system could be abused and usually could means 'sometime' it will
If Rose West's daughter expressed political views that the bank found objectionable, do you think that would be fair grounds to close her mother's account? Given that she is the primary user, on her mother's behalf.

The gay cake scenario is a bit different to this, isn't it? In that case, the baker was being asked to create an object emblazoned with a message he disagreed with, and his refusal to do so was arguably in line with his freedom of expression. I think the parallel scenario to this one would be if he'd refused to make any cake at all for a customer due to their political views.
+1 (or 100 if I could). Besides all their satellite imagery, Google also knows the average speed on any road while you're navigating, so it can tell if a road is unpaved (or worse, for farm equipment rather than cars). However if it's faster (or equivalent but shorter) it will always recommend an unpaved road over a paved one.

It's crazy, really. I once got routed into a tractor path that was literally a dry creek bed for >2 kms (covered with large, pointy rocks and all). But yeah, it was quicker by 5' than the paved road so it was the top route. Longest 20' of my driving life.

I would seriously pay extra for an option of "ignore unpaved roads" or even better "don't suggest slower roads if the route is shorter than X%"

Trade issues with Japan dominated relationships, especially the threat that American automobile and high tech industries would be overwhelmed. Japan's economic miracle emerged from a systematic program of subsidized investment in strategic industries—steel, machinery, electronics, chemicals, autos, shipbuilding, and aircraft.[118][119] During Reagan's first term Japanese government and private investors held a third of the debt sold by the US Treasury, providing Americans with hard currency used to buy Japanese goods.[120] In March 1985 the Senate voted 92–0 in favor of a Republican resolution that condemned Japan's trade practices as "unfair" and called on President Reagan curb Japanese imports.[121]

I completely forgot about Nostradamus until this reminded me of it. He was having a bit of a moment in the mid '00s for this exact reason. Looking back, I can see that time period as an incubation period for the popular conspiracy mentality we see now. These sorts of ideas were being peddled everywhere, and were benign* enough to latch on to people without much life disruption. I wonder how much of this acted as a cognitive primer for the eruption into the mainstream of much harder conspiracy theories we see today.

* At the time your wonky conspiracy brained coworker would be sitting down saying "Nostradamus said xyz, pretty weird man!". That was about it, these were just descriptive "isn't it crazy that..." conspiracies. More current ones have deeper implications to their believers, and tend to contain a prescriptive aspect as well.
> A more contemporary example might be something like headphones: as far as I know, limits on sound output are software-based, not hardware. Theoretically a hacker could modify these software limits and output extremely loud sounds.

Seems pretty much impossible.

True, my headphones could be modified for it. In fact I once looked into the firmware of a previous model, and apparently there was 16MB RAM, 2 cores, and sqlite in there. The darn thing could run DOOM if there was a display attached.

But an application doesn't get to talk Bluetooth to my headphones, it only gets to submit audio.

Besides that, audio is logarithmic. If the internal amplifier can produce 2X of the software limit, that only adds 3db. Maybe annoying, but nowhere near bad enough to do serious harm.

So far, Apple (Fairplay) is probably in the vanguard. But the obstacles aren't so much technical. It's laws like digital millennium copyright act and lack of a need. Many people are fine paying for access and don't mind that it isn't available on some of their devices. Those that don't want to pay have easier avenues like password sharing, bittorrent.

The fact that it breaks fair use (and probably invades your privacy, or is riddled with bugs and security holes) is only interesting to FOSS hippies like us here.

> I’m not sure I understand apples logic here. Are iCloud Photos in their data centers not scanned? Isn’t everything by default for iCloud users sent there automatically to begin with? Doesn’t the same logic around slippery slope also apply to cloud scans?

I don’t see the problem with this status quo. There is a clear demarcation between my device and their server. Each serving the interests of their owner. If I have a problem with their policy, I can choose not to entrust my data to them. And luckily, the data storage space has heaps of competitive options.
Perhaps this is where we are missing the data.

I struggle to see how a X percentage reduction in meat consumption in North America or Europe would lead to a matched reduction in livestock numbers or deforestation. That surplus would just be absorbed as cheaper beef in other markets with deficit (in Asia for example).

I would be interested in seeing an analytical breakdown of consuming 50% less meat versus bringing your thermostat 3 or 4 Celsius away from your ideal temperature? Or forcing Commercial real estate to bring their thermostats 3 or 4 Celsius away from ideal?
Very cool! Is this open-source? It would be cool to add a few sources to this (like https://hackage.haskell.org).
Not sure you understand what I mean or we might be conflating ideas here. Probably best to back away since I know it’s a powerful topic for you but at least let me explain this part.

Your general thesis has been that immigrants are treated as unequals without rights by the US government. I am not arguing if that is true or not. I am simply stating that those processes are hard to change when there is no shortage of people wanting to come to America. There is not a supply shortage of people wanting to come, so there is no incentive to make the process easier/better. Adding proof with your statement that we annually reject more applications than accept.
Yes, Nimble Commander is wonderful. The developer took a lot of care and created a powerful and very fast tool. As a long time user of Total Commander on Windows I'd be crying sad tears if I had to limit myself to the basics that Finder provides on macOS.
I'm confused by what you mean by "morality" here. The only moral position that I am communicating is that child sexual abuse is a real thing that really happens, and it is bad for both the individual and for society. That's it. There's no subtext. There is explicitly no refutation of the arguments against client-side CSAM scanning which, I will say again, are unambiguously correct.

Is being against child sexual abuse really an unusual opinion in the tech industry? Have we really all gone so far along the Heinlein/Rand road that any mention of a real negative outcome gets immediately dismissed with the empathy-free thought-terminating-cliche "think of the children?"

Architects and product designers saw Bauhaus and thought they could skip the decorations and call it a day, leading to ugly cities and crappy products, but that ain't Bauhaus!

Minimal, aesthetic and functional things remain few and far between; the old iPod was Bauhaus, but most other things? Not so much.
Oh, so sorry to hear that. Good summary of his work- the Cyc project- on the twitter thread. Had missed that last paper- with Gary Marcus- on Cyc and LLM.
I feel many people truly misunderstand what the Bauhaus School was about and the Great Leap Forward it brought.

The problem statement that the Bauhaus school was founded under was along the lines of this.

The machine age is upon us. The guilds of the craftsman is holding back the training of the workers. The machine age is providing easy access to materials that are more dynamic than wood or stone. The Arts and Crafts movement is generally given credit as the step between the old world and the machine age production.

The Bauhaus was founded to train architects and designers to work with machine age production. The early days they had a hard time getting the students to understand that a machine couldn't produce a cherub. There was a deep seated belief that culture was dangerous after the Great War and peace could exist through efficient use of resources. The machine age would bring a world of abundance if resources were used efficiently.

Finally my art history teachers would have a conniption if a student referred to Bauhaus style architecture. The proper term is International Style. This name is relevant becuase it was to have no cultural preconceived notions. This would promote peace through understanding. The goal was that a human could be dropped in the space from anywhere in the world and navigate their surroundings. I see it as a worthy goal.

Not every building is successful and I admit to being indoctrinated in design since birth but I find this place people and the knowledge workers seem to thrive.

When tech creates problems should tech tried to solve it or should tech be limited?

We deceive ourselves honestly by pretending like we have not created new realities which are problematic at scale. We have. They are plentiful. And if people aren’t willing that we walk back tech to reduce the problems and people aren’t willing to accept technical solutions which are invasive then what are we to do? Are we just to accept a new world with all these problems stemming from unintended consequences of tech?
we are all cogs in the machine. maybe decades ago the stance of individuals could have made a difference but nowadays its clear that it no longer does. there is a collectively created monster that can only be tamed by something of equivalent and greater collective power: radical government regulation. The EU is doing its part. The US isnt.

imho nothing was learned from the previous Microsoft monopoly era. Information technology is not just any business sector. It is the canvas on which everything else plays out. It needs to be regulated in a way that people can go with online life, politics, business etc. without this Damocles sword permanently hanging above us.
Number 3 doesn't really make sense. I wouldn't get copyright if I told a human artist "draw a dog". Why would that change just because I'm telling an AI to do it?
Never did, at least not in the literal sense.

I found the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology when I was in college which interested me for quite a few reasons, not least that the Scientologists obsessively documented everything about their operations. At the time I was interested in cults in general and also the “mind control” of everyday life in organizations and thought Scientology could be a model for, say, General Motors (they think they are) but no… they are way out there.

I got to know freezoners through that though.
How many times are you okay with having your own children taken from you while the thought police make sure your latest family beach vacation wasn't actually trafficking?

How many times will actual abusers be allowed to go free while your own family is victimized by the authorities and what ratio do you find acceptable?
We pay it out of pocket or from users' donations.
You'd be surprised. Lots of offenders are very low sophistication. If you read news articles about how a particular offender was caught with illegal material, so so often it's because they uploaded it to a cloud provider. It's not a one-sided tradeoff here.

I remember my grandfather talking about copper-based fertiliser to be used on live trees (iirc), to help growth, and this was in the early 90ies in south Italy, when i was a child.

Dumb question: could it just be that copper rods in the soil are just providing “copper” to the plants in the same field?
They were not fighting. They were gazing lustfully.
Totally agree! I love the simple design. I miss the web when it was like this: a bunch of random pages created by people without the modern junk of responsive layouts, weird scrolling effects, animations, loading animations, overuse of CSS, etc.... I used to LOVE web design but I would never in my life consider modern web design. I still do it for fun though and I usually try and make all my stuff minimal.
There are many beautiful buildings and objects. I hold the ugliness of the world on the people's behavior rather then the objects of the world.

You don't. You're only supposed to cite primary sources and peer-reviewed secondary sources. ChatGPT is a tertiary source, like dictionaries and encylopediae. You use tertiary sources to get a quick overview of a topic before you begin delving into primary and secondary sources, but you never include tertiary material in your paper.
I think we are constantly losing our subsequent rights, that are taken from us in such manner:
1. people are allowed to X

2. other people exist who can do X in a malicious way that is forbidden

3. let's make a law that will prevent every citizen from X

4. only lawful citizens are forbidden to X, criminals are still X-ing

The same is with the fading DVDs/BDs - you are forbidden to make a copy of DVD/BD unless it's a backup copy. Of course there is a DRM that forbids you to make a backup copy. Political representatives say "hey, but the company is obliged to make a copy for you if your copy is broken". However:

a. the company or its representative in your country may cease to exist (e.g. games that were published in magazines)

b. copies may become unavailable

c. price of the copy may be higher than it should be
> This brings back good memories. As, I'm Dutch, the names for these knots in English are a bit challenging for me.

I finally got around to doing my day skipper last year and on the course was a Russian who spoke English perfectly fluently but struggled with the technical terms that the rest of us took for granted. It probably doesn't help that sailing is one of those sports where the difference in terminology between British and American English is sometimes significant, for example I don't think the term 'kicking strap' is used in the US.

The knots I use most often even outside of sailing are the bowline and the round turn and two half hitches.

AI is the innovation. Trying to misapply copyright here would retard the progress of science and useful arts, not promote them, because it would wrongly restrict that innovation.

The answer to big tech corporations centralizing this is to fund it publically and make it available for free to everyone as a shared summation of our culture, not lobotomize ourselves just to profit a few old dinosaurs that are relying on an outdated idea of copyright.
It's more like if I look at thousands of articles and produced a big spreadsheet containing interesting facts about those articles, like word frequencies or what words tend to come after what other words. I never before heard anyone suggest that that kind of analysis would be copyright infringing. The new thing is that someone figured out how to organize dumb facts like that in a clever way and use it to create something sometimes useful, but without actually copying parts of the original articles since those were never saved as part of the data.

I always love seeing native gardening get attention in non-gardening communities.

After reading Tallamy's books last year, my wife and I were surprised at just how much effort is involved in planning a native garden. Although not the point of their post, the authors section about getting started highlights this.

I've been building https://planting.life to try to reduce this friction. It helps discover native plants by US zip code and shade/moisture conditions, along with planning and sharing gardens.

We were not even at a point where that question needs to be asked.

Federal and state police, some of the best funded, equipped and trained police in the world are so inundated with cases that they are forced to limit their investigations to just toddlers and babies. What use is it to add more and more cases to a mountain of uninvestigated crimes? Whats needed is more police clearing the existing caseload.
>Both of these arguments are absolutely, unambiguously, correct.

Oh, please. As if we couldn't just compare the hashes of the pictures people are storing against a CSAM database of hashes that gets regularly updated

When this was proposed people would respond "But they could just mirror the pictures or cut a pixel off!"

Who cares? You got that picture from some place in the dark web, and eventually someone will stumble upon it and add it to the database. Unless the person individually edits the pictures as they store them, that makes it so that you're never sure if your hashes will posthumously start matching against the DB.

People who wank off to CSAM have a user behavior similar to any other porn user, they don't store 1 picture, they store dozens, and just adding that step makes them likely to trip up, or straight up just use another service altogether

"What if there's a collision?" I don't know, go one step further with hashing a specific part of the file and see if it still matches?

This whole thing felt like an overblown fearmongering campaign from "freedom ain't free" individualists. I've never seen anything wrong with content hosters using a simple hash against you like this.
