What would a new and improved constitution look like? Basically the same but with more restricted speech? I’m genuinely curious - I hear people talk about rebooting the constitution frequently, but no one ever follows up with what specifically they would change.

This is so wrong...

Why the fuck do Azure and Google Collab mess with LD_PRELOAD. Why do Clickhouse crashes when it does? Does it rely on unspecified behavior or are the preload libraries problematic? Is the preloaded library buggy?

It looks like an arms race where stome piece of software forces use of a particular version of library instead of using what's in the system (but not static linking), then someone else use LD_PRELOAD to force back the use of the system library, and then other software ban LD_PRELOAD to counter the counter. I understand that some ugly things are sometimes needed to make software work, but think of the collateral damage.
>How is this data tracking any different from what google, twitter, or Facebook use?

To use an application from one of these providers, you explicitly have to agree to their terms and services: a contract between you and the company is established. How is that equivalent to taking an uber?
Wallets that interact with mixers and then deposit to a central exchange can easily have there withdrawals blocked
> That's not ethical, and probably not even legal.

Sounds illegal indeed, GDPR requests the possibility to refuse the data and you can't just ask in a loop, that wouldn't be informed consent.
And you would trust the IRS software to provide all the savings possible? Their job is literally to collect as much money as possible from people to cover for the that new $520MM Biden pledged to give Ukraine for green energy, lol.

powerpoint is one of those things that most people don’t think about nowadays, but before presentation software, people had to carry printouts, or slide decks for projectors, maybe laminated sheets for overhead projectors. PowerPoint has saved people a huge amount of work.
I'm not so sure. There are certain expectations about how things are used. There's no reasonable expectation that getting into someone else's car implies any consent that the manufacturer of the car can now harvest data about you at will. I reserve judgement on the legality of this until it's actually tested. In any case, it being legal is readily remediable if the law makers care enough.
In EU it's very illegal. You can't tie consent to use personal data which isn't absolutely necessary to provide the service. If it wasn't car companies (pet EU regulators industry) we would be talking about billions in fines already.
Yes and none of this was the end of humanity. Not even remotely close (until countries started piling up nukes, but that happened after WWII).

> Some Japanese soldiers hid in caves and devotedly didn't surrender for decades afterwards.

Yes, and they killed several innocent citizens in Phillipines. It was a tragic. In the meanwhile Japan's economics blossomed and average Japanese people enjoyed much better life quality than pre-WWII under a militarism government.

If you take a look at the history of China's population, you can hardly tell when WWII happened[1]. Hope this put things in perspective.

Right. Now exactly what height do you need to be a "tall person"?

This is the same. I haven't used it so I can't say how optimistic their "drop-in replacement" claim is, but they certainly don't need it to work 100% of the time with 100% of project with 0 changes to make that claim.

A car passenger isn’t party to the contract nor informed of its existence.

You can write anything you want, but no that doesn’t make it a valid contract.

In Germany there are a couple of platforms offering mostly mid to long-term contracts: freelance.de or freelancermap.com for example. freelancermap.com seems to be a little more international.

As a freelancer / contractor myself I wish there were more website for that, but the quality of all these project marketplaces aren't great at all.

Besides, mid/long-term projects pose some risks for the freelancer and often the company, too.
So, some of the findings in relation to the psychology of AI fact-checking they found may be valid and interesting (e.g. how it increases confidence, even in false information when incorrect). But their methodology to me seems quite flawed:

1. They use “ChatGPT” and never mention if it’s 3.5 or 4 (unless I missed it—don’t think so) so I suspect 3.5.

2. They ask ChatGPT to evaluate the truthfulness of new headlines outside its training data cutoff, don’t show it the source of the headline (e.g. a reputable news outlet or not), and don’t allow it to to use an internet search to determine if the news is corroborated.

So their claim that it’s “ineffective” seems like a pretty big overreach. At best you might say “AI fact-checking by relatively weak models not given all available information and asked to evaluate headlines outside their training data cutoff” are ineffective. Duh!

Clearly, if you were to design a good AI fact-checker, you wouldn’t design it like this. You would give it all available information, allow it to corroborate with a news search, and use a stronger model or a model fine-tuned for the task.
PHP was the Visual Basic 6 for web. People without proper training and theoretical knowledge just went and did stuff.
What OP is proposing is how most of the modern world handles tax collection.

> Their job is literally to collect as much money as possible from people

The tax code clearly dictates how much is owed by each individual. Now a private company like TurboTax is literally out to get as much money as possible because that's how private companies work.
>Genetic information is also included, but come on, does a KIA steering wheel suck up your sweat and send it to an hidden PCR machine???

Might be CYA, but I suspect it's more like "If we hit up 23andMe (who definitely sells deidentified genetic data and in all likelihood also sells the same tracking info from using their site as everyone else) maybe we have enough inference to figure out your generic makeup."

Even on an intellectual level, I'm curious if this can be done. So yeah, pretty sure Kia's data science team is more than encouraged to crack that code

Oh, I don't doubt I'm missing the point. That's why I'm asking. My C++ experience is from the 1990s. Otherwise I do Python and C.

I think of constexpr functions as something which occur at compile time, and I thought this linked-to piece was about what can take place inside those functions.

As I understand it, you want to create a constexpr string so it can be passed to a char*. The issue is this requires heap allocation (for large enough strings, based on the compiler implementation).

The C programmer in me wonders why you don't "char[]" allocate the static memory buffer, then pass around a string view, so the constexpr doesn't need heap at all.
I recently lost a few games of Memory (or Concentration/Matching Pairs [0]) to a child.

I wasn’t really trying, but I think she wasn’t either. Someone told me that being a grownup is actually a disadvantage on this game. Children have much better visual/positioning memory than adults. I don’t know if that is true, but it felt very plausible after those games.

Cool finding. I'm more familiar with the primate literature, so I looked over the study and the book summary.

The Herman study was published in 1984, which was already a few years after the collapse of most of the primate language efforts. So, the author tries to compensate for many of the flaws that spelled doom in the primate teaching efforts.

In particular, they do a decent job of focusing on comprehension rather than language generation, and wisely test primarily novel sentences.

On the other hand, they make the same error as the primate researchers in not fully addressing if, and to what extent if so, operant conditioning could also be the method of learning. The response to novel sentences and the 5-word sentences seems suggestive of language, but conditioning can also do a LOT. (E.g., look up rats trained to do Rube Goldberg-style mazes involving dozens of steps to see how complicated behaviors can be achieved by conditioning smaller subpieces and then chaining them.)

The novel sentence tests might still be explainable by conditioning as: the dolphins are rewarded for correct answers, and by combining operant conditioning with object identification, are able to infer the correct answer. E.g., they trained a dolphin to answer yes/no on whether a hoop was in the pool, and then asked the same question for items used in earlier studies. This could still be a generalization of a conditioning response from a smart animal receiving rewards for correct answers, and not a demonstration of syntactical understanding.

Mid/long term contracts are usually not ideal, because it's too close to employment when done full time and that's high risk for the company and the freelancer.

Part time contracts seem to be quite rare "in the wild". However, every contract I have got through my network and personal outreach has been much more flexible and created longer-lasting relationships.

The more you look into mid/long term fulltime projects as a freelancer the less you consider yourself a real business in my opinion.

My straightforward guess is cameras pointed in the car, or collect information from the phones in the car and try to extrapolate using techniques perfected by Meta.

>Should we move to a system where a company can only do things or make things that are in their direct industry? So a car company can only make and sell cars and not sell data?

I would be interested in that just to see what happens to the FANGs. Google can pick between youtube and chromebooks; meta can't have its own VR headset; what even happens to Apple? It would at least get more people thinking about if hyper monopoly/monopsony and vertical integration into every area of life is actually desirable.

Also a very good question!

Im my opinion, all employees in a business should receive about the same amount of money. Either someone is doing a necessary job and thus contributing just the same as everyone else, or that job is not necessary and then there is no need to pay someone to do it. There can some variance in the distribution and that might even be useful in some sense.

That said; I'm a syndicalist. I think that the people working in business should own that business. That way there's no issue of exploitation.

The capitalist model of economic progress allows too much inequality to creep in, something that in the long run is harmful for any society. It also allows of an unreasonable compounding of slight initial differences that then will explode into the madness we see today, where some individuals have more economic power than hundreds of millions of others - now that is unfair.
As far as I can tell the benefit of 5G is that a single tower can provide different service levels, so the telecoms companies can offer cheaper IoT connectivity. But for an IoT manufacturer this is more expensive and more bother than just using wifi. Is anyone aware of IoT using 5G? In consumer products?

I've gotten to see Stop Making Sense at the local arthouse theater a couple times in the last five years and it has people out of their seats, dancing in the aisles 6 songs in. It's an incredible, ecstatic film.

The band and director agreed that they wanted to see the band having fun, not the audience, and not the band being virtuosic. So there's no close ups of a guitar solo (the camera cuts away to other musicians reacting to the guitar solo) and there's almost no shots of the crowd.

The effect is infectious gotta-move can't-stop-it fun. Probably the most unique movie theater experience I've ever had and I'd recommend it even if you don't know the band.
Afterwards he wrote Mostly Harmless, which is a tough read even in the best of conditions. The rebelliousness of youth totally gives way to the grimmer realities of life in that novel

I've often felt that the series lost its free spirit and lightness and became incredibly personal towards the end. Maybe it always was incredibly personal. I don't know if it's true or if it's just Douglas's depression. The time with Fenchurch feels almost like a stolen glimpse of a very private moment.

Some points also to Eoin Colfer who didn't make a total hash of the sequel book, which I imagine is a very difficult thing to approach and would inevitably upset a lot of people.

Sorry but you are getting this wrong.

1. Certain rights cannot be easily waived depending where you live — this requires "informed consent". Informed consent means you laid out what you are collecting and for which purposes clearly and in easy language — and that I consented to that.

2. Implying consent through action ala "by entering these doorsteps you have signed away your firstborn child" doesn't work.

3. At least under the GDPR not consenting shall not lead to a worse service.

If I enter the car of some guy and his cars manual (available only as pdf download) says on page 234 that he automatically consents to this by using the car, the manufacturer did neither gain his, nor my informed consent.

This is illegal under the GDPR — a law that doesn't only apply to cookie banners and the internet, but to any form of data collection.

A good programmer doesn't really care about the langage itself, but rather whether the language is the right tool for the job.

For example, Erlang is painful to adapt to, but in some cases (example: if you build a Messenger app) it will be the best.

It doesn't mean that Erlang is a bad language at all, it is designed for a main purpose in mind.

It's normal to see junior developers and low-quality packages in PHP, JavaScript, Java or Python, it's because these languages are well-documented and rather accessible.

There is no point in making a language needlessly complex.

No, this is stupid. Blame the technicians who know better but intentionally disregard the necessary controls because they want to earn a bonus. Imagine if software developers could be individually sued for writing discriminatory, privacy violating, or insecure software. Then the fraud you speak of would naturally separate away from unintentional defects and software would be less defective overall. Then the C-levels are directly responsible when they tolerate their technicians committing the fraud you speak of.
