That makes sense to me. There is an '80s punk band called Big Black (guitarist produced records by Nirvana and Pixies), and as you can imagine, typing the band's name into google or youtube will immediately turn autocomplete off.
Is it the property seizure laws that are bad? I'm sure some of them are. But isn't the greater problem that law enforcement and prosecution is immunized against liability for misapplying those laws?

I understand that most information on how the state fights organised crime will be classfied, but if there is any publicly available evidence for this claim that you can share, I would be interested in reading it (and I hope others on this thread would be too). I'm not saying I doubt you - you give the impression you know what you're talking about - please take this in the spirit it's intended, as one of my former supervisors once said "In academia, asking for citations/references is an expression of interest, not of doubt".
> You're not allowed to advertise to children in the EU

Maybe in some EU countries, I guess. In Spain, toy ads are common. Recently, the government prohibited toy ads that are segmented by sex (e.g. marketing dolls or toy kitchens specifically for girls) but otherwise there are no limits as far as I know.

I don't think it's necessary to jump right to data collection, the routing algorithms and incomplete maps are the issue. Of course, you'd need additional data about bike lanes, etc (which could come from crowdsourced data? Maybe that's what you are alluding to?).

As it is, offline routers such as Brouter and OSMAnd do a much better job, and it's pretty easy to convince other cyclists to use them.

Traffic jams are almost never an issue when biking - heavy car or bike traffic can slow you down, but by that point you have at least the same density as car traffic jams for data collection...
It looks cool.

Right now my session is expiring while stepping through the "brief" introduction and seeing a lot of waiting spinners.

For this audience and Reddit, it might make more sense to do this as a blog post, showing a playthrough and some of the best images that were generated.

I don't think an AI trained on competitive code would be usable for anything other than code competitions.
If I'm not mistaken, Amazon Drive is not part of AWS's services. Certainly Amazon's consumer cloud services have had some big changes over time.
It's taking an L in the sense that the government doesn't want Facebook to ban news, they want Facebook to pay for linking news. Forcing people to leave their shitty echo chambers is good, but it's the opposite of what the government wants in this case.
Again, somebody can train an algorithm to create false positives or real csam like pictures, like close enough to trigger the check. Afaik csam is not about exact match but rather close enough match based on a clever hashing algorithm, and in this case, algorithm can be induced into false positives(and by my limitet knowledge, hashing can have collisions) or even true positives but that are fully generated(and afaik generated images is not illegal, but i guess it depends on country).

Outsourcing work for this(afaik) isn't possible since it's private data, not public and only specific organisations can have full access to potential triggers

But in the end it also doesn't matter because there are other problems too, like how to make the final list easily checkable so that we are sure governments/ companies do not alter the list to target specific ppl/groups for their own interest. Or how algorithm isn't modified under the hood to check not just images but also text/files
While futile from a personal and business aspect, it’s certainly valuable and useful otherwise. Maybe that’s implied here as you’re listing contributions, but I wanted to emphasize that it wasn’t a waste outside of that narrow band of futility.

Children 10 and 7. We are very anti screentime as it always seemed to send ours kids crazy and create behavioural issues.

We started loosening it for the 10 year old, but within 6 months of that we had a few incidences of early online bullying so we are pushing back again.

I personally hate to see kids and young people zombified looking at phones and want to delay, delay, delay.
> Is your desire to hurt Google so strong that you are not willing to help potentially thousands of people?

Not the same person: my time is limited, so I volunteer to fix data only when it is released on open license allowing me and others to use it.

Otherwise I expect to be paid.

In general, I need more than "it will help others" to spend time on something, I am already spending too much time on things like this.
> It sounds like you're assuming a "smart" AI model would project its experiences onto others, as a human would.

Do we have any way to generate an AI model other than via training it directly on human experiences?
I live in Finland, and have a child who will soon turn seven. Finnish children start school "proper" around this age, and this is the first time they're able to make their own way to/from school.

(Some children walk, some cycle, and others take the regular busses and trams, depending on the distance involved. In our case the child has to walk a few hundred meters, and not cross any roads at all, so it's an easy walk for him.)

Because school finishes around 2pm we've just recently given him a phone so he can say "I'm going to play outside", "I'm coming [to the empty] home", or "I'm going to friend XXX for a couple of hours". It isn't a proper smartphone, but it does allow more than an old-school Nokia.

We've generally allowed 30 minutes of "screen time" a day, sometimes that has been watching selected youtube videos, sometimes playing Super Mario Bros on the nintendo, and sometimes it has been watching TV. I expect the dynamic will change a little more now, but not hugely.

Parental controls will be setup to allow more access between 1pm and 6pm, but I expect that we'll not allow access in the mornings or "late" at night, just to ensure there's not too much obsessive use.

When/If the child can route around the parental controls I think we'll "reward" that creativity with more access. Need to encourage the hacker-mindset :)
Ride with GPS | Experienced Linux Systems Engineer | Within 2 hours of Portland OR | Full Time | https://ridewithgps.com/about

We are the world's largest library of bike routes, and we enable cyclists to go on better rides, more often. We have a website and mobile apps that allow people to discover the best riding in their area, and get turn by turn navigation using either our mobile apps or the bike computer of their choosing. Come join us in taking Ride with GPS to the next level! We have one opening right now:

- Linux Systems Engineer: https://ridewithgps.com/careers/systems_engineer - Work the full deployment stack, from hardware to containers. We are looking for an experienced engineer practiced in the deployment of Linux based machines and services on top of them. We run on a rack of machines that we own, co-located in the Pittock, and we deploy services both directly on Linux as well as via containers. This is part SRE, part DevOps, part classic SysAdmin, with the occasional networking issue. We need someone who is within driving distance of our rack in Portland and who has experience working in a datacenter, but the majority of the job is in the deployment of services on those machines, not the machines themselves. Are you a jack of all trades, comfortable occasionally working with hardware, while being highly proficient in Linux and container based deployments? Maybe you are light on modern container orchestration but are highly capable and interested in learning? We'd love to talk to you!

Send resume + cover letter to careers@ridewithgps.com with an optional brief paragraph about your relationship to cycling or the outdoors. Riding bikes is not required, but we do find it helps!

I had looked at nostr before, and I had some criticisms of it:

1. The serialization and canonization of JSON. Fortunately the conversion to arrays without floating point numbers avoids the problem with digitally signing the canonized JSON, but this is still messy. There are other problems with using JSON too, including inefficient binary data, restriction of which character sets you can use, lack of proper 64-bit integers, and others. I preferred a efficient binary format instead.

2. Servers cannot send messages to each other. I would allow it as an optional capability, in addition to clients sending messages to multiple servers.

3. It should not need WebSockets; plain TCP (with optional TLS; it should not be mandatory) would do. Other optional protocols can also be possible to do, e.g. HTTP POST requests, or even HTTP GET (or Gemini) to merely receive a single message by its ID. (WebSockets in binary mode could also still work.)

4. Character encoding. Unicode is too messy as well as other problems. My proposal is you can specify what code page to use, including an extended TRON code (including ISO-IR-169, Cangjie, and others). A few control codes might be used, e.g. line break, furigana, and text direction; for simplicity you might not need much more than that I suppose.

5. Lost messages. Blockchaining (i.e. each message contains the hash of the previous message) might help a bit, but still sometimes you will have lost one, or an entire account is lost without anyone else referencing them. Making this mandatory comes with many problems, but being optional also has different problems, so it is unclear.

6. Some other stuff, too (I do not remember all of them at this time).

I had tried to design a better one, but I did not know what to call it so I just reversed "nostr" to make "rtson", but that doesn't seems like very good either. (Although, maybe is not needed; NNTP is good enough anyways.)
Maybe I’m not the target audience, but what does this solve that powerpoint doesn’t?
You need to go out and meet more people then. Upwards of 50% of an average news website's referrals come from Google. Add in Meta products (FB, Instagram, Whatsapp) and that can easily cross 70%-80%. All that traffic is about to drop down to 0 in the coming weeks.

The GFW is mostly a protectionist racket. By degrading the services of Western companies, the GFW gave their Chinese counterparts an opportunity to catch up to them, despite starting later (e.g. Google leaves China, creates opportunity for Baidu, etc.).

It's also an important censorship apparatus, but that just needs to be "good enough," and is more dependent on domestic companies (the same who benefited from the degradation of Western services) following regulations to remove content on their websites.

Be careful where you move to get free healthcare. Lots of countries have free healthcare. However, since you're worried about getting cancer when you are old, you also need to consider that, in a lot of countries that offer free healthcare by rationing it, you may have to wait several months to get the cancer treatment you need to survive. You could wind up dying while waiting for your scheduled "free" surgery. As you might imagine, cancer can spread very quickly if left untreated. The links below cover cancer waiting times in Canada and the UK. It's sad to read some of the comments mentioning a four month wait to get treated for cancer.

Since most people would prefer critical services to be free and promptly rendered, it wouldn't surprise me if people wanted to dispute the above links.
Since I would also love to live in a perfect world, it would be great if someone could provide data on countries that offer free (and timely!) cancer treatment or if they could find data to refute the above links.

I can get weather from satellites, traffic from platforms, local crime from social media, regulatory changes from professionals and blogs, and markets from market data. So long as we can get news from outside the country, news within Canada doesn't matter because it's all state narrative anyway. For an increasing number of people, mainstream news outlets offer nothing of value.

Just today I ran into a random hiker in the woods and the conversation turned immediately to political corruption and how the media won't touch it. The govt in Canada likely wants the internet and news restrained, as they need to pull some things and probably don't want the news to foment popular cross border support again. Sure, link tax, whatever, there is no expectation the media or government are anything but hollow facades for some minority interests that have captured them. The popular mood talking to people in the street is very dark.
Almost as if democracy doesn't necessarily lead to a government that represent people very well.

> PAW Patrol is a Canadian computer-animated children's television series

> In 2016, the season two episode "Pups Save a Mer-Pup" was nominated for Best Animated Television/Broadcast Production for Preschool Children in the 43rd Annie Awards. As of 2023, PAW Patrol has received twenty five Canadian Screen Award nominations with twenty wins.
The nature of a link tax makes no sense anyway. Can I charge someone for citing an article? Can I charge someone for mentioning an article even if they don't use MLA style? Can I charge someone for obliquely referencing the existence of an article?

Despite chasing links (heh) for a while, I have been unable to find a description of what the Canadian act actually does, only page after page of "Whereas…" intent/caveat.
> When they're all done they'll be providing power cheaper than your home solar setup, even with their additional requirements

Really? Could you cite a source with some numbers? On my PG&E bill, the cost of power generation is about 44%, the remaining extra requirements (transmission/distribution, billing, legal compliance, etc.) are the other 56%. Based on that I extrapolated to thinking that the long term future of electricity is to remove the grid because the cost of moving power around exceeds the cost of generating it, but that extrapolation makes for a big assumption. I'd love to see an analysis if you know of one?
> It is the creation of the tool that is covered by fair use.

Copyright doesn’t restrict creation of something, it restricts (mainly) commercial distribution. Research, education and journalism etc are largely unaffected, and would still be.

That said, I believe that selling access to the tool to the public already violates the copyright of the rights holders, even if it doesn’t produce similar works of art. The copyrighted works increased the value of the product (otherwise why would they use it?).

> The later is something that can be tested because we have processes to compare works of art for it.

This is the most expensive, least practical and most arbitrary part of existing copyright. It would be a huge mistake, imo, to expand this dramatically. This problem mostly goes away if the supply chain is sanely regulated.

All you’d need is give access to the training set upon audit, and bureaucrats could check for copyrighted works. There are already automated tools for this.
I didn't mean any offence when I called the change simple, though I do now see how it can be interpreted that way. When I call it simple it's because I am ignorant about programming language design changes, because, well, I don't really care. I'm not a PL designer. The change is simple to me because it: (a) seems arbitrary and easily changed, (b) solves a class of problem that I've never run into in other languages nor can ever really envision happening in a realistic scenario, and (c) if there are complex sets of tradeoffs involved in enabling this feature then they haven't been communicated well to the end-user at all. Especially with how bad the current state of affairs is, my calling the change simple should be a sign to the Rust team that if this really is the best possible decision for the language, they should put a clear statement in the compiler saying why. Because as it stands, from my end-user perspective, I still haven't seen a great reason why this shouldn't be implemented.
