I didn't assume it must be free of charge. I only mentioned it isn't, to point that this is not a possible reason they chose AGPL.

I did, however, assume the Open Source <=> OSI approved license. How else to define Open Source?

Transparency alone could be achieved with their own Source Available license, so it doesn't seem like a reason for double licensing.
Possible but would be pretty misleading stat if so. It sounded to me like statement meant it was for generative AI needs. I know midjourney uses TPUs but for training but don't really know who the other generative AI unicorns are besides OpenAI.

I'm increasingly getting worried about the stability of the current situation. We have a tremendous collapse of the construction industry (housing starts at a 50 year low, at least here in germany) and many commentators are predicting ever increasing rents.

This in the face of a fertility collapse across the developed world and a rapidly aging population. Most of the youth is waking up to the idea their pensions will be worthless when it comes retirement age. A lot of social services are feeling the strain (and exploding costs).

It really is the biggest issue of our generation.

> When you're absolutely killing it

Aren't they unprofitable? and have fierce competition from everyone?
Among my friends seeking to buy houses, the greater problem is the ability of large companies to buy up whatever is on the market, which they then immediately turn into a rental. It’s nearly impossible to compete with a company who will pay $50k over asking price, in cash, for the house you’re trying to get. Comparatively, immigrants don’t have the purchasing power to compete, so saying they’re the problem is a weird conclusion to draw.

Zoning law in some places makes building new homes very difficult, so I would like to see less/different local regulation there. But other than zoning it seems it would help more if the government would step in to disallow large leasing companies buying up giant swathes of the housing stock just to flip into rentals. Maybe incentivize those companies to increase their ratio of new construction, to help solve this supply issue.
That is a very crude view. I have found training people for certain things much easier in person, for example, as I could see them struggle well before they reach out, i.e., can shorten learning cycles.

I recently found some empty spots on a home screen that I'm sure used to be full. I have no idea what apps or widgets I had there, so I can probably do without, and I'm happy to have more space now for other stuff on that screen.

I guess this is what blissful ignorance feels like.
That's fair, I completely understand where you are coming from. From a growth/money-making perspective it'd be smart to message customers about new features but table stakes would be something like:

> just surrender to it all, believe in all the machine tells you unquestionably, forget the fact checking, it feels good to be ignorant... it will be fine...

It's the same issue with Google Search, any web page, or, heck, any book. Fact checking gets you only so far. You need critical thinking. It's okay to "learn" wrong facts from time to time as long as you are willing to be critical and throw the ideas away if they turn out to be wrong. I think this Popperian view is much more useful than living with the idea that you can only accept information that is provably true. Life is too short to verify every fact. Most things outside programming are not even verifiable anyway. By the time that Steve Jobs would have "verified" that the iPhone was certainly a good idea to pursue, Apple might have been bankrupt. Or in the old days, by the time you have verified that there is a tiger in the bush, it has already eaten you.
But usually people are either at home or at the office at the same time. So if the pipes can handle everyone being at home when they get up in the morning and shower at the same time to make the office at the same time, they could probably handle everyone being at home at noon. It might even be better, since now they can shower at different times. Ditto for electric, since people are more likely to stagger their laundry and whatnot.

The only one that seems to apply is garbage, and possibly the internet pipes.
>> If it goes into official runtime, then backwards compatibility will kill it eventually. You'll have situation where in year 2078 someone will ask why are we still having tokio when everyone is using telepathy lib?

This kind of situation happens and leads to a second, newer official runtime getting adopted and the older, legacy runtime being supported as long as is needed.

This happened with Java's official GUT toolkits which started off with the Abstract Windowing Toolkit (AWT) and then moved to Swing and almost moved to JavaFX.

Having multiple officially supported core components is not necessarily bad--it can be a sign of good backward compatibility balanced against the need to improve core components.

I think it is better than the alternative: multiple unofficial, de facto standard components that are incompatible. Who knows which direction each unofficial components will go and newcomers do not know which one to choose.

Personally, I don't feel like having a higher skill at bullshitting and persuading people that is utterly unrelated to the job should get you paid more for the same work.

> Some portion of the population wants to see house prices continue to increase and they will vote for politicians who will implement policies which will support that agenda.

It all comes down to one simple problem. Housing is both investment AND acquiring housing is basic survival necessity.

As long as both are true, the problem will persist.

Imagine a world where rich individuals and investment bankers would decide they have too much cash and want to use it to buy out all food. They calculated this will drive food prices up and they could sell it with a profit. They bought it all and now they sit on piles of food that are increasing in price while majority of the population is slowly dying of starvation.

What's more, at some point some will start selling it and the food prices will suddenly go down and they will ask the government to somehow make sure the prices stay high. They already got used to the fact the prices of food will be exorbitant. Maybe they bought it when it was already high? Or maybe they took a loan to buy that mountain of food but the loan is contingent on the price of the food being high.

All the while people keep starving.

Ridiculous, and yet this is what is happening to housing.

There are as far as I know only two basic angles to solve this problem:

1) Make so that houses are no longer investments or at least not the best investment out there.

2) Make so that acquiring housing is no longer necessary for survival.

The problem is as you said -- majority of the population who have invested in a property and now think it is more important for them personally to benefit from increasing prices than solve one of the more important problems for the society.
As a German this also reads like a fairly normal sentence. In written form it would have a couple more commas in German, which would make it easier to read, but when delivering a speech verbally this is taken care of by intonation and pauses anyways, turning this into a non-issue for the intended audience even in English.
A viral TikTok account is doxing ordinary and otherwise anonymous people on the internet using off-the-shelf facial recognition technology, creating content and growing a following by taking advantage of a fundamental new truth: privacy is now essentially dead in public spaces.

The TikTok account, conversations with victims, and TikTok’s own lack of action on the account show that access to facial recognition technology, combined with a cultural belief that anything public is fair game to exploit for clout, now means that all it takes is one random person on the internet to target you and lead a crowd in your direction.
You absolutely must be able to create unique and reasonably strong passwords for each of the services you use. This is the absolute most critical first step in account management.

From here, we can have a discussion about broad behavior and individual behavior. We observe that at scale people reuse passwords if they are not using a password manager. End of story. Getting people to use a password manager at scale is the single largest practical improvement in account security for the general population that we have available to us right now. This is even true with the risk of a vault being stolen and unlocked. I've never seen any data that even remotely challenges this point.

Cloud management of passwords is basically non-negotiable for most people. "Oh fuck, my vault was on my computer and I dropped it on the floor and the disk broke" will be a constant occurrence. Getting everybody to properly back up their vaults is not feasible at scale.

You can separately talk about specific people if you want. If you are capable of creating unique and sufficiently strong passwords for all of your accounts, then go ahead and avoid a password manager. This will mitigate a marginal risk for you.
This is the most important news on the internet today.

Google has completely transformed itself into this uber-corp, that is hell bent on absolute dominance.

Wow. I am an avid internet user, very much interested in technology / business / social media, and I was not aware of this. Sure, there is an anti-trust court case here and there, and I almost always seem to see EU has fined FAANG companies some millions of dollars for their breach of trust / security / monopoly etc. But, the way this is going on is amazing.

To ponder, why does the judge have to put the onus on Google, when he admits he doesn't know? Is there no mechanism where the judge says a panel of MBA / senior technocrats / VC's or the like be able to advise him on the matter?

> "but why shouldn't that be the case? [...] so as not to cause anarchy with people killing each other for some food."

I feel like you answered your own question there. It shouldn't be the case because with anarchy everyone loses. You give your sibling some of your birthday cake because if you don't and they throw the cake on the floor in anger, you don't get any of your cake either, and if you do then later on at their birthday they give you their cake. In one case you both lose, in the other case you both gain.

This should not have stopped any of FAANGs from competing (especially Google), and yet they are still far behind OpenAI - more than a year after GPT-4 was trained.
This reporting is malicious. It's designed to disinform to stoke racial turmoil and chaos. Consider how deliberate this wording is, and that it's buried right at the end of the article:

>The construction worker, who was months away from becoming a father when he was shot, died in hospital the following day.

>It later emerged the Audi Mr Kaba was driving, which did not belong to him, had been linked by police to a gun incident the day before.

It almost sounds as if Chris Kaba was a law-abiding family man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having not heard of this case before now, I looked it up, and this man in fact was in the process of conspiring with six others to brutalize and murder another man, was followed and blocked by police, refused to comply with orders, and attempted to flee (putting the officers in harm's way) when an officer fired the fatal shot.

No doubt this disinformation contributed to the false sense of injustice that led to protests by blacks under the impression that they are being targeted by racist, murderous police. No doubt White Brits will be appalled and dumbfounded by the breakdown of law and justice in their indigenous homeland as violent criminals and their kin react with shock and uproar when encountering resistance by law enforcement.

Utterly disgraceful.

Not only "Alexa/Siri/Google Home" but Google Search [ALL] itself. Google was a pioneer in search engines adding a page ranking / graph layers as a meaning but technologies such as ChatGPT could add a real layer of meaning, at least improve current Google Search approach. The future of search seems more conversational and contextual.

BTW, I expect these technologies to be democratized and the training be in the hands of more people, if not everyone.

> But truthfully, as someone who worked on a ISP helpdesk it's much better for society if these people move on to more productive areas.

But is it, though? I started my career in customer support for a server hosting company, and eventually worked my way up to sysadmin-type work. I would not have been qualified for the position I eventually moved to at the start, I learned on the job. Is it really better for society if all these entry level jobs get automated, leaving only those with higher barriers to entry?

> The only reason courthouses are public is so the public can satisfy themselves that the courts are doing their job in a fair way.

Closing the court sessions eliminates that assurance. We have seen multiple times in our history that closed sessions are used to break the laws and conventions of this country in a way that harms our citizens and degrades their rights (see FISA court).

> That is equally satisfied by having the court proceedings sealed for a given time, for example 5 years. By then, the information is nearly worthless to a competitor.

There's an old saying, "justice delayed is justice denied". If in 5 years it turns out this this judge (who has since retired/died) violated all common sense and fair administration of the law, what happens? Nothing. Hell, even if they are still in office, what's the worst that will happen? They resign in shame? Meanwhile 300 million American people spend 5 years suffering the ill effects of the miscarriage of justice. That is not a fair return and it's not justice.

Secrecy is largely incompatible with democracy and justice. Think of why wikileaks was so damaging: because our government did things that were illegal, immoral, and kept them a secret from us. Same thing with the FISA court, which basically eliminated the 4th amendment. And at least those instances relied on the idea that they were special needs due to foreign intelligence requirements and security; Google's only argument is that they might lose money.

While I favor transparency, I don't think this is something that should be legislated / regulated. Mainly because the lack of such details in a job ad is a signal. And imho an important one. It gives insight into the org that's hiring. It also leaves the door open to negotiations.

Employment is nearly all cases is at will. Every interview stage ends with "Any questions?" There is definitely a time and place for government regulation. This is not one of them. It's too Nanny State-y.
