Given what the "top" of society looks like currently, the Luddites were correct to be skeptical of technology, and accusations of "Luddite" at the slightest hint of not being 100% on board with the latest fad technology make this discussion seem in bad faith. Most techies I know do not have a skeptical eye for technology, even though IMO they should. This shit is being used to spy on and manipulate us with the data they gather. At what point is it okay to say "no"? My view of the culture says techies never say no to new shiny.

We need a new era of carefulness in computing, both as programmers and as users. We need to demand better accountability. As long as the leaders we have now are still there tomorrow, I'm afraid this goal will never happen. You need a nation who cares more about its people than its GDP to achieve that, and I posit no nation on Earth has that level of care for its people.
People bring the value that they generate for an economy. Once they can be replaced with AI/Robots then that labour can be reallocated further up the value chain which in turn makes our economies and culture richer and more productive.

Imagine if we were all working 18 hour subsistence farming jobs now just to survive, it's ridiculous to argue that eschewing automation for anything is detrimental, it only serves to enhance society and make it more productive.
I have come to this same conclusion as well.

Too many economic opinions are still predicated on the idea that the free market is still working correctly, and that there are effective controls in place. The reality is that - at least in the US - the controls are broken, and have been for a decade or more.
They meant "good", not "goat", I think.
Framework 13 AMD Shipping
It would be a wildly incorrect analogy. The EU only wants Apple to allow sideloading, not to accept any code in their app store. And I fail to see the relevance that the iPhone "is a lot more". A linux system is also hardware, software, it has WiFi drivers producing radio emissions, it can and does store health records and payments, and performs far more regulated things, like nuclear simulations for energy and medicine [1]. How is this an argument in favor of corporate-locked devices?

It is funny, that small and even sometimes medium business owners go to jail over things like fraud, failure to pay taxes, even labor violations. I remember local instances being reported on in the our (thankfully still around) local paper.

Yet, if you are big enough, the government can barely muster the strength to issue a fine. Rarely to executives at big firms go to jail unless there was something Enron sized egregious happening
Typo. I meant billionaires. You probably figured that out, though.
The word is used to refer to taking something without the right to do so. The key part is the lack of a right to do so, not depriving the owner.

e.g. If you take someone's car while they're away on vacation and bring it back before they get home, it is still stealing, even if you topped up the tank and they never noticed.
Kinda, but most of the anti-scientific bullshit out there is a symptom of precisely this phenomenon. Actual science cannot offer absolute certainly, so people reach for whatever alternate theory offers the feeling of certainty. Blind faith in "the science" kind of works, and even gets pretty decent practical results, but you know what's structurally really hard to disprove and thus amenable to feeling certain? Conspiracy theories!

> Sure, but when you're reporting on a legal development, it makes sense to use the appropriate legal terms.

If you are reporting for a lay audience it makes sense, esepcially in a headline, to use the common English that best conveys the impact. This is true regardless of the subject matter.

> I'd rather see terms of art used throughout

That's a valid aesthetic preference, but failure to align with it doesn't make a headline accurately describing the facts into an inaccurate reference to something that doesn't exist.

But that was the whole premise of Tesla investment in this bot. They don't want to produce 2, the want to produce a lots of them. They already produce the electronics in the millions, and have supply contract for cameras and so on.

Tesla is vertically integrated into producing most of the electronics (including the engine) in the car and in the charging networks. They also design products to be manufactured efficiently.

This suggests that they should be able to mass produce actuators and put those robots together efficiently. Musk looks at mass manufacture as part of the product development. However in the end this relies on enough demand being out-there so that its worth continuing the scale up of manufacturing lines.

It will likely take a many more iteration for this to be more then a tech demo.
Your story is a true tragedy and hearing such stories makes me feel sad.

I believe it’s, mostly, these unfair, monopolistic practices that made those companies giants because they can, technically, crush anyone willing to swim in their red ocean.

It won't introduce riff-raff into their garden. It will give customers options to decide for themselves. Only if they explicitly want to. If they don't, nothing will change.

Right now there are entire categories of apps which which there's nothing wrong except that Apple doesn't want to allow them. Like emulators and pornographic apps. This will allow consumers to decide for themselves.

A lot of people used to live out of hotels. During the gilded age, a lot of rich people would do that, like Tesla (well, he wasn't rich by then, but had a rich benefactor). Short stays in inns probably weren't common until the 20th century.
I don't actually think TSA can shrink by a substantial amount and still carry out even the reduced mission we've discussed here. You still need roughly the same number of people operating X-Ray and Magnetometers that you have operating body scanners and X-Rays now, it would go somewhat faster, but not vastly faster, the flow thru say, PreCheck and Regular TSA is within 15% of each other.

I think there is an assumption here that the 'theatre' component adds lots of people to TSA, and I don't think that's the case, just from my own observations - and having some understanding of how you move volumes of people thru a space.

For efficiency - I'm gonna make the assumption that we're still gonna keep a distinction between the airside and landside, and not put ID check back on the airlines at the gate.

Lets look at the staffing of a single TSA checkpoint -

1) Before the queue, you have a guy filtering precheck vs not - that guy could prolly go away. so -1 here.

2) At the end point of the queue, you have the guy doing ID verification and boarding pass check, that step is probably still needed here. So 0 - no change.

3) Pre Magnetometer Assist - This is the person helping pax put their belongings on the belt for going thru the magnetometer, its not always present, but usually is when they're busy. So 0 - no change.

4) X-Ray Operator, the person operating the X-Ray. So 0, no change.

5) Team of two people operating the magnetometer. I see no way to reduce this, you need someone to do a pat down for those who fail the magnetometer, so it's usually a pair of men and women. Again 0 - no change

6) 1-3 people to perform hand inspections of bags that look questionable on the X-Ray. You maybe could reduce this? it depends on the particulars of the details of the inspection.

7) Supervisor. Even in an ideal world, you still need a supervisor, plus the supervisor probably helps give breaks and fills in missing coverage on the short term when people are late.

Now while I can believe that the people at the checkpoints are just the tip of the proverbial TSA iceberg, This is the part that seems even harder to reduce, in any meaningful way.

The long and the short of this, is I don't think TSA can reduce its size in any meaningful way, airlines used to do all this threat analysis themselves in some level of isolation. Now its all centralized, without a probable meaningful level of change in employment.

Awesome I’m glad it’s resolved. There is still some prompting that goes into it. So in your case you might start off saying something like “when editing a page in dashboard show a google translate button by the save button that when clicked asks me for a language to translate to; use google translate API to translate page contents and then create {{page_name}}-{{language}} page and save it.” But honestly I’d do something like “If somebody adds ?language=language_here to the end of a page use the Google Translate API to translate the page content. Cache the translation until page is updated again.” Toy around a bit and tweak prompt until initial generation fits your needs. It also won’t get super complex things right on the first try. Get an initial version saved and then switch to edit mode and add additional functionality 1 prompt at a time. Even say things like “that’s not exactly what I asked for do this”, “there’s a bug fix it”, “add a settings page to admin dashboard so I can enter Google Translate API key”, “add a translate button to the footer of all pages”, etc. As codebase gets more in line with what you want IntelliPlugin will start working smarter.
The current status seems to be, chrome is also way ahead of firefox with webGPU. They just don't have the manpower anymore, so I would not get my expectations up high and just use chrome for games and co amd be happy if webgpu comes to mobile FF at all. Or petition mozilla into rehiring some engeneers..

And with this concrete project I cannot compare, because on my mobile nothing loads, neither on ff or chrome.
The game maybe rigged but you can rig it to enrich yourself too and for that you need to be smart(er).

That's a really great idea, you can do "data analysis" with newer versions of ChatGPT4 enabling some "labs" feature in the Settings. That might get closer to what you want, maybe you can "create a synopsis" of latest docs and preload conversations with it. If you show it enough examples, and you may not need to show very many at all, it can be a great way to go.

Ukraine’s 50-Year-Old Gepards Are Still the Best Air-Defense Guns in the World
Why is it people like yourself simply cannot fathom that one particular economic system could be harmful to humanity? We've managed to take a critical eye at superstition, religion, propaganda, all sorts of things. But the primary means through which inequality is carried out in society? NOOOO, leave that alone. That's perfectly fine where it is.

People who align with that are profiting from capitalism.
> Today, the word “Luddite” is used as an insult to anyone resistant to technological innovation; it suggests ignoramuses, sticks in the mud, obstacles to progress. But a new book by the journalist and author Brian Merchant, titled “Blood in the Machine,” argues that Luddism stood not against technology per se but for the rights of workers above the inequitable profitability of machines.

Just because Luddites were sympathetic doesn't change the fact that they were wrong. They didn't care for the welfare of workers in general so much as they were looking out for themselves. It did not matter to them that hundreds of thousands of peasants chose to move to find work in the cities because it was better than life in the countryside and by destroying machinery, Luddites were taking away their livelihoods while the factories were shut down.

It's usually at this time that someone will bring up the enclosure of common land as the reason why people were forced out of the countryside, but that doesn't change that factory life was still offered a better alternative for a lot of people. The privatization of fertile land was inevitable with a growing population. Without the new factory jobs, even more people would be stuck as serfs like they were in China or Russia at the time.
SPP Expansion Provides a Blueprint for the Future of the Grid
Take a minute to think of what living in Nazi Germany and Nazi-occupied countries were like.

There's a point in Meip's (person who hid Anne Frank and her family) memoir where she relates a story of Otto Frank discussing a staff member who joined the Nazi party. (Remember, the Franks hid in the building where Otto Frank ran a business.) Otto pointed out that this man probably joined for the social connections, and called the man a "good man." He (Otto Frank) was well aware that people had to adapt to the "new normal" of Nazi rule, and that often meant joining and cooperating with them.

Later in Meip's memoir, she implies that the business where the Franks were hiding were selling foodstuffs to the Nazi army. Everyone had to do what they could to survive Nazi occupation.

Don't forget that Otto Frank ultimately is one of the reasons why we know so much about the Holocaust. He spent a good deal of his post-WWII life raising awareness of it.

> In the future, we plan to add native support for database backups

What does "native support" mean?
It's the first time I saw someone counting it in trillions.

When certain (randomly picked by me) set of accounts for a year talks about "gender something...", "man something else...", "2nd Amendment...", "new use of chat AI..." or just some memes and all together (perceived by me empirically) start to translate "Instead of sending help to Ukraine Biden should send help to deal with Hawaii/SF fentanyl.../South border...", I jump to conclusions. Without mentioning Ukraine all these problems are real and do require some form of government intervention. The moment Ukraine appears in the discourse it makes one wonder how shipping M142 HIMARS or MGM-140 ATACMS to Hawaii would help.
The current hypothesis is that the Mitanni rulers were speakers of Indo-Aryan languages, with the populace being Hurrian.

EasyEdit: An Easy-to-Use Knowledge Editing Framework for Large Language Models
When a dollar store moves into an area, it provides most products for cheaper than an independent grocer possibly can, inevitably putting the local grocer out of business. It's sad for the grocer, but surely it's for the benefit of the community as a whole, right? Everything is cheaper! Except that the dollar store doesn't sell produce, and it just put the store that did out of business.

I see a similar trend with automation: it can do most of the job far cheaper than the specialist can, so short-term rationality says we should embrace it completely. But then the specialist goes away, and we don't have access to them anymore for the things that automation is bad at.

When you call in to customer support you can't talk to a human, because they replaced them with chat bots. When you need a good website designer because Wix won't cut it, they're out of your price range because the only ones left are working for large companies. When you want a new book, you can't find one written by a human, not because the robots have gotten as good as a good author, but because they've gotten good enough to spam the marketplaces so thoroughly that writing a good book isn't profitable anymore.
Designers know what will help them when they see it. They don’t need sold on things that make their job easier, the way good dev tools don’t need to sell/convince developers to use them. They provide an obvious value, and people want them because of the value they can see and use firsthand. If you have to talk someone into using a dev tool or design tool over multiple emails and madmen style nights on the town, you’re trying to convince someone to see value in something with no obvious value. People don’t need marketing or convincing to buy things they see clear benefit from. Designers are a rare type who might not know what they are missing or what exactly they need, but when they see it in front of them, if it helps them, they will instantly want it and not need to be sold on it. If there is no interest from even 5 designers I’d say it’s not going to scale out to a good conversion rate. Designers are a rare type where I would argue it only takes 3-5 to say nope to know you’re not hitting any real pain point. A plugin that automates tedious photoshop workflows sells itself. Immediate value is right in a demo. Nobody has to wine and dine people on that. Just my opinion.

Sometimes the dehumanization is the point. I think that's fair to say of Ballard, certainly in the subset of his work with which I'm familiar.

Sometimes you can't use "recognizably human" characters to make the point you need to make. Peter Watts is a good example of this; not only in Blindsight but throughout his body of work, the most effective characters are typically those least recognizable as human.

Such works are typically labeled as "high-concept", and I concede they can be an acquired taste. But it's not at all true to say every story is either at heart about human relationships or worthless, else this other sort of stories would never have been common enough to need naming what distinguishes them.
> This gets to the why perfectly.

Respectfully disagree. A matrix has basically nothing to do with "living on the surface of a cuboid". It's like saying FOIL is the "why" of binomial multiplication -- the "why" is the distributive and associative properties of the things involved, FOIL is just a useful mnemonic that falls out.
I said exactly that.

> So you see, its nothing like a repository. Now, if EU said, "Hey Linux Repositories, you have to let these other parties include their code in your repository", well, that might be a better analogy.

No it's more akin to allowing the user to add other repositories. Which every Linux distro already allows.
I really appreciate your praise but writing doesn't determine intellect or cognitive capabilities. And either way, LLMs have made writing redundant which means it's not something that is a good sign of human creativity or intelligence.
> CSS inevitably becomes a spaghetti soup of states after a while

I think it happens eventually with most of code, whatever language. If you don't have a clear structure or methodology at the time of writing it, it will become a mess at some point. I don't think it's a particular problem of CSS.

So that unveils me as a "crafter" - well, am a graphic designer doing CSS since 2006 or so; in fact I've thought that way about doing 'raw' CSS, that is the most "artisanal" thing one can do in the world of web dev - and whereas it is true Tailwind can save time in styling a web page or whatever, it takes away from the expresiveness of doing it "by hand". Many people even here wonder from time to time why contemporary websites pretty much look the same: many people are using frameworks to style them.

It's kind of something like doing your own furniture in a pretty artisanal way vs. getting something from Ikea. Or more like growing your own potatoes vs. buying processed potatoes at a mall. You'll end with potatoes in your stomach, but they will taste differently.
Not the whole db. Only data related to the day itself. A duckdb file is cached generated from a restful url (e.g /api/v1/risk/date/scheme) so that resides in a risk-scheme-date-uuid.duckdb) then a query will find the latest risk-scheme-date-*.duckdb and based on certain filters return a subset of the data. It’s more complex than that of course as the db is opened in read only to allow concurrent reads, a set of tmp tables are created on each read request to represent user rights where we filter returned data based on what the user is allowed to see. Each duckdb file is around 50mb and usually a newer file of matching scheme is written every 10 minutes, then the old ones are purged when they’re older than two hours
