So, in your opinion plain obvious astroturfing can never be astroturfing?

It's obvious to me because (1) I'm aware of the company, (2) know that there have been issues with their WP entries in the past (and still are, they are essentially marketing copy), and finally (3) because it just so happens that the company is Dutch and I keep an eye on the local eco-system. But it probably wasn't that obvious to you.

Over the years I have and continue to receive emails destined for other people. After years of trying to help people realize the errors of their ways (sometimes you just can't find the destined people).

Some of my favourites are the tax information (and other common business related correspondence) on their Disney songwriting royalties (I make more before my first coffee break than they do all year on streaming revenue, but they've got a fair number of songs), there is also a bank account tied it in Peru (CFO doesn't care but I'm not locking her out - I do have some compassion.. not much but it's there), but OTOH I've permanently locked people out of their brand new iPhones because they all choose to use my email address, or the person on the other end types it in wrong for them. I also think people don't read what their browser saves and later populates for them.

People will also just randomly give out fake addresses (that are real) when signing up to just to get a discount.

It's a single word that was popularized through pop culture years after I created it, and one letter away from being a traditional western name (and also one character toggled from a popular Hispanic one).

Also a very wealthy PTA mom in Mountain View uses my email address all the time. Our children are doing very well.

Sites should always confirm an address by having you authenticate a link before permanently using it in perpetuity. It would stop a lot of bad actions.

The preceding lines in this surah explicitly mention this is addressed to wives of the Prophet who are unlike other women. The answer in your link even explicitly mentions this is their interpretation outside of what is explicitly written.

Islam is no different from the other Abrahamic religions. It is the culture of organized Islam that is uniquely violent, conservative, and extreme in its views today.

> You realise the 'anachronistic monarchy' is just a tourist attraction/diplomatic lever at this point, right?

It's not. It still has power, and it's still costing tax payers a shitton so one family can live above everyone else. More importantly there are plenty of royalists who support it.

Gender segregation is currently practiced in many Islamic countries (Saudi Arabia, Iraq to give some examples)..

It doesn't feel right to justify Sharia law by saying "oh, but under tribal law women are just property". Both are too old fashioned and should be discarded or amended.
There is also the tool of taxation and fines, which while in turn are backed by a threat of violence are not the black and white which you allude to.

I checked with my wife:

Nepal: she had some form of insurance. She doesn't know how much it cost, but presumably not much (she was volunteering for a non-profit) and her out-of-pocket costs were zero for a multi-day stay at a hospital.

There's an interesting (& long!) recent Lex Fridman interview with Doug Lenat here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wMKoSRbGVs

Lenat thought CYC and neural nets could be complementary, with neural nets providing right brain/fast thinking capability, and CYC left brain/slow (analytic/reflective) thinking capability.

It's odd to see Lenat discuss CYC the way he does - as if 40 years on everything was still going well despite it having dropped off the public radar twenty years ago.
I agree in general, but for "signing key material", there should be enough entropy and they have enough control over the format to make it very easy to detect.

Plus, they are the ones who put the security of their system behind this detection, letting developers access the dump they believed to be redacted. Whether they made a massive mistake at the design or implementation phase doesn't really absolve them.

Memorising is so trivial we've been doing it by default since forever, regardless of if that means magnetic core memory, the Jacquard Loom, the Gutenberg press, the ceramic movable type China had for a few centuries before Gutenberg, or using a stick to smudge words into soft clay tablets that were accidentally made permanent by a house fire.

AI like this aren't just memorisation.

The main problem is treating one-thing and many-things the same way. Its not a great PL design choice (and its why we can't have slurp as a filter). If streams (not arrays) were also first-class, we would easily have `smap`, `sselect` etc and the code would look like a functional programming language where | is the pipeline operator.

Otherwise, its fine if you try to keep the thought "everything is a 'filter' or a composition of filters, and a 'filter' is a function that either maps, flatMaps or filters things" in your mind at all times

On one hand, there are a ton of downsides from the government sticking their noses into this - development will become slower, more costly, and in many cases no more secure or higher quality.

On the other hand, as a rando off the street consumer, I appreciate that an FDA exists to help make sure someone selling me bread isn’t mixing sawdust in the flour to help juice those sweet startup bakery numbers. There are plenty of places to criticize the FDA, but we wouldn’t need that regulatory oversight if the public weren’t being harmed by such practices.

> People don't need to disclose who they are when submitting things to HN.

Companies aren't people. That's one of those things I just don't subscribe to. If you are the CEO of a company and you are engaging in what can only be termed as marketing activities, effectively advertising your company I think you should be up front about that. Otherwise you can no longer see the difference between organic interest in a technology and marketing push, which are two entirely different things.
I have many email addresses. I don't necessarily know which email address is associated with my account. Therefore, the user benefits from knowing which email inbox they should check.

It's not just the UK. The Netherlands is like that as well and it's lost it's democracy. They can now hack anyone, not just criminals, without a judge being involved or even any evidence. They can shutdown speech that they don't like and they regularly commit criminal acts against non-criminally involved citizens organised by non-accountable organisations.

It's cool because Erlang's functional design means F() is just as good a "top-level" context as whatever one you were in before. Eg this will smoothly allow existing requests on the old logic but start new requests on the new logic, and eventually allow the old logic to be GC'd.
>they are trying to get the law passed

they did pass the law through the lower house. the upper house can demand amendments and stall things a bit, but it can also just be completely ignored given enough time.

it's not impossible, it's just a horrificly bad idea, and why would being impossible affect if it gets passed or not?

> by saying "we know it's impossible but we would like to have the legal right to do it in case it becomes possible in the future"?

no, they issued a press statement saying they won't implement the thing they passed until it's "practical".

lots of governments pass lots of laws and regulations and are untruthful about what they'll do later.

When I designed Cloudflare's filters, a.k.a. Firewall Rules... we had an API written in Go, and the edge written in Lua. The risk I foresaw was that building rules that act on URLs and perform matching, and testing those, in one language (Go) that were then deployed and executed in another (Lua) would lead to a risk that the difference in the behaviour of the two engines (no matter how much they implemented the same spec) would result in a rule being created that behaved ever so differently elsewhere... for me, that was a huge hole as if it was known it would be leveraged.

The first piece of Rust in Cloudflare was introduced for this reason and for this project. We needed a single piece of code to implement the filters that could be executed from Lua, and that Go could call too. It needed to ensure that only a single piece of code was responsible for things like UPPER(), LOWER(), URL_PARSE() precisely to prevent any differences being leveraged.
They could it would just make them very, very unpopular. This clearly isn't a hill they're prepared to die on.

The fact that they tried this at all signals how weak this government is though, as well as how blithely unaware they are of it.

Thanks for your comment. I have broot installed, but it never sticks in my workflow. I didn't know you could use it as a tree replacement like that, adding file stats & exiting.

It almost works to replace the way I use exa tree, with these caveats:

- I want to not have it elide files ("7 unlisted") at each level. I have my et1, et2, etc. aliases to customize how many levels of detail I get with exa's tree replacement, and then I scroll that with my pager.

- I want it to support LS_COLORS so the files look the same as they do in `ls`

- I want the git status display that exa gives (eg. it shows I if the file is ignored).

- is it possible to customize the order in which the stats are shown? It'd be nice if they match ls more closely. Exa feels like `ls` with extra colors and a tree, broot feels different.
And why? What would motivate someone to rebut the mild claim that its messed up?
[...] determinism doesn’t help me with ethics or morality.

It does. When we look at criminals we nowadays take into account medical and psychological conditions, we are aware that people are not always in full control of what they are doing. This is obviously a weaker form than full blown determinism, but we certainly take into account that people are not completely free in their actions at all times. Similarly the assumption of a deterministic universe will influence ethics and morality, even though it will of course not be the only thing under consideration. [1]

[1] Ignoring the big complication that talking about considerations and things like that in a deterministic universe is itself something that needs a lot of care.

> Is CodeShelter community-owned and driven? Or is it a company?

It's community-owned, there's no company.

The website codebase is licensed under BSD, and the source is linked at the footer of every page:

The website is also in the Code Shelter itself, so any maintainer can commit.

> There's no privacy policy, ToS, and CoC.

I don't know what the first two would be good for, as it doesn't really have personal data to be private about? I guess there's the list of maintainers per project, but it's all public.

This is detailed here (where the "become a maintainer" button on the front page goes):

This sounds clever but is content-free. The "new theory" that chatGPT synthesizes simply restates its assumptions.

Here's what it calls the "fundamental principles" of hard determinism and panpsychism:

* Hard Determinism: This is the belief that every event in the universe is determined by antecedent causes and conditions. There is no genuine free will; everything that occurs is the inevitable result of prior circumstances.

* Panpsychism: The idea that consciousness, or at least some basic form of it, is pervasive throughout the universe. Every entity, no matter how small, has some element of consciousness or experiential quality.

And here's the first two "foundational principles" of its new theory:

* Universality of Experience: The fabric of the universe is interwoven with rudimentary consciousness or experiential quality. This means everything from subatomic particles to galaxies possesses some level of conscious experience. In this view, consciousness isn't just a by-product of complex systems like the human brain but is instead a fundamental property of reality.

* Chain of Determined Consciousness: Every event, interaction, or change that takes place in the universe is pre-determined by prior conditions. Each of these events involves conscious entities (be it elementary particles, cells, animals, or galaxies) experiencing the unfolding of the deterministic chain. Each particle, while following a pre-determined path, experiences its journey in its own unique way.

But these are just the first two points in different language! The only new thing is that chatGPT says the particles are conscious while they pursue their predetermined path.

This is like saying "my new theory of light explains how it can be both a wave and a particle. Principle 1: light is composed of waves. Principle 2: light is simultaneously composed of particles! Where's my Nobel?"
> devs have shown, they do not care about security, at all.

Could add a grain of salt there, but I get your sentiment and would not want to argue their are big problems in the software industry, supply chain being one.

We could be angry about that, but what can be done to improve the situation? Specifically: what should the government do?

Proposed solution of adding a safe harbor framework to shield [companies] from liability is like saying: don't use npm, use our blessed supply chain. Sounds like a bold experiment, but IMO it's not obvious that this will curtail the reckless behaviours of those software devs you refer to.
