No, he's an art school dropout his musics almost exclusively about his relationships, self confidence, mental heath, creative struggles, faith/god, fame, his own god complex, politics, his mothers death and business struggles. There's no drugs (apart from references to alcoholism and depression medication), gang violence etc which are normally staples of the genre.

Yeah, but that's no different than a human that can be instructed to violate previous instructions with careful wording in a social engineering attack, which I think is the point that the parent commenter was trying to get at. Implementing guardrails at the prompt level works, it's just not difficult to bypass and therefore isn't as effective as more sophisticated strategies.
I mean bikes are soo much better than one-wheels and boards... the way you can "just" use tha brakes more or less freely on a bike without worrying about getting your CoG right before you do.. priceless.

But yes, of course people get hurt on bikes, too. But I believe you can be an order of magnitude safer at least.
And if you use IP address literals instead of paying for a domain, you get a free SPF:

If the "From:"/"Reply-To:" fields contains only the email address with the IP address literal, you get your "SPF" and it gets a much better score in order to avoid grey listing for the first transaction. And if there are no URLs in the content, even better.

But that is common sense.
Corrupt government officials get a commission on big contracts. It happens all the time. Why do you think people spend so much campaigning for low paying political offices? They can be quite lucrative investments. There are NDAs and other threats to shutdown whistleblowers.
Anything smaller than a phone implies even more cloud bound. It might be "ambient", it might be "contextual", but it sure won't be "personal". As in my device, my data, my decisions. "Personalized", sure, but that's merely a distraction from the fact that you are operating a thin client with zero control. A browser allows you to scroll through offerings, a voice interface will send you right to the highest bidder.
The problem I see is that tables and views are a poor general purpose interface: if you don't know what the indexes are, you can't guarantee reasonable performance.
I’ve never known anyone to justify an argument explicitly using anecdata unironically. Amazing, no notes.
Yes and no. Reconstruction filters are part of the problem (and part of the solution) but it's not all about them.
Yes, but generally for completely legitimate reasons.

One example is a tool for flashing code to a embedded device. It's aimed at beginners, so not requiring an install is valuable. It means even kids with locked down Chromebooks can try it out.

But the Firefox teams doesn't like the vibes of a web USB API, so it'll be cheome-only indefinitely.
> If you can make some other interface that helps me ask for GPS directions or check my emails, sure. But if you're lumping in all this other crap, I know you're just selling vaporware.

Not that I want to defend this particular startup, but if I described the functions of a modern-day smartphone to you back in the 1980s, you'd probably have the same reaction, right? A lot of random, unrelated crap lumped together!

Most of the time, it goes nowhere. But just because somebody is trying to combine a bunch of hitherto-unrelated use cases doesn't mean that the idea is dumb.
>That doesn't work.

Manipulation isn't binary. It's not "works" vs "doesn't work". It's "works better"

There are vectors in place to hinder social engineering for humans in high security situations and workplaces. Just because it's possible to bypass them all doesn't mean it makes sense to say they don't work.

Why was this person downvoted? High-fat diets absolutely increase fatty acid oxidation; it's literally one of their (deceptive) selling points.
>Like if you see a Facebook post you just have to mindlessly do whatever it says?

A big part of this story is that it was many Burmese people's literal first time on the internet. They had built no mental defenses. They literally did not realize that things said on the internet could be fake.

Facebook dropped this tool out of the sky then neglected it. It'd be like if a weapons manufacturer dropped a massive load of guns with the rebel groups. Sure they didn't pull the trigger, but they certainly played an enabling role.

Even in the US the 2016 presidential election was a major wake up call for how social media can be used...
I wish what you were saying were true, but it just isn't. I'm a fairly serious runner -- 40-60 miles per week typically. The amount of nonsense I experienced during that year might surprise you. Dozens of different times I was yelled at on trails, in the street, etc. because I was "too close". I was threatened with violence multiple times. This was all in the context of trying as hard as I could in all cases to stay as far from people as possible -- 10 feet minimum -- and to pass them as expeditiously as I could. I avoided narrow trails in parks completely, etc. People went insane, and it was absolutely due to this policy.
Well said, thank you. Sincerely!

I’d like to reiterate my analogy of the shorts :)

Not least due to the subtle knock-on effects: surgical masks cast a fog on public awareness of face-fitting masks, which are superior in all respects (including comfort, which – case in point – came as a surprise when I tried one).

—

The effectiveness of face-fitting masks is so much greater that I honestly regard the use of surgical masks as morally indefensible.
don't get seduced - this is nothing more than a (dead) core generator implemented in chisel. it was written back when people thought chisel was gonna take the HDL world by storm (spoilter alert: it did not). there have been successor projects but imho they're all worthless - no RTL designer worth their salt uses these kinds of tools and instead prefers to write verilog/vhdl.
No, the EU version of that would be requiring OSs to ask before using a disk, and certain proprietary OSs deciding to spam the user with requests on every boot until they consent - at which point suddenly the OS can magically remember that preference - and then pretending that the law forced them to do that even though it said no such thing.

> > Do you expect these people to fly commercial like you and me?

No but back in the old days people with money had the justified fear and paranoia to keep quiet in order to avoid drawing attention to themselves and not be expropriated and/or executed.

They now not only don't hide but go out of their way to broadcast whatever opinion they have through the airwaves and especially on climate change the juxtaposition of talking about climate change while pumping into the atmosphere 1000 tons of CO2 per year is symptomatic of a sense of entitlement and not fearing any punishment or repercussion for their actions.
Cars are selling, despite their high economic price, because they're incredibly useful.

Make competing modes of transit at least one of more useful at no more cost or no less utility but at a lower cost and people will switch incredibly quickly. That's a tall order, because the modern automobile is a wonder of transport speed, comfort, and convenience.
I agree that irrigation needs are urgent. However, we also need incentives towards an eventual transition.

A basic example: contours to mitigate how fast water moves in elevated terrain. Cheap and effective. Then water collected at dug basins in the bottom.

If you have cheap, constant access to water, you irrigate industrially. It’s only when droughts, lack of groundwater, climate effects, etc. kick in that the alternatives become important. But by then, you didn’t put them in place early enough.

So I think farming deserves both short- and long-term thinking. Business as usual won’t work as climate conditions get worse.
I'd rather they force them to release documentation instead, documentation which they certainly already have, and which hardware manufacturers used to freely provide.

If they're worried about IP, that's what the patent system is for.
The technofuedalists get to stay in power because people so happened to put their data in these data bases / technokeeps, and all the law is focused on anti-circumvention, on adding legal might to the high walls and big moats these folks eventually roll out (enshittification).

For a while humanity had some property rights to the things they bought, to what happened in their home. But the big shift is that every device now has it's own terms of use, that these services get to write whatever contract they want to dictate to the world how it can use it's devices and it's data.

Shout-out to this post highlighting "Web scraping for me but not for thee" highlighting Mark Lemley making this point (the shift from pro-humanity property rights to pro corporation contract law) 20 years ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37264970 https://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2023/08/web-scraping-f...

My personal opinion here, IP and anti-circumvention laws should be gutted & are a scourge against the human spirit. We should be encouraging mashup culture & rising off the shoulders of giants, not being crushed under their heels.
People talk about dynamic range compression all the time.
> What often happens on Linux is vendors will then move their HAL and drivers into userspace, interfacing with the kernel via a shim instead. This has the side effect of no longer needing to open-source the driver code at all, since it's not linked into the kernel. Look how that works out!

It doesn't stop anyone else from writing better drivers (i.e. the thing they already do) but decouples things so that people can at least update their kernel while keeping their drivers. So, win-win.
That's the point, natural rubber tires are slightly more expensive. I think the parent said it was like 5% more somewhere above? Tire companies will go the cheapest route every time, so it's up to the government to make it more expensive to create synthetic rubber tires. Maybe start charging them for ocean cleanup.

Wars don't just appear out of thin air. There were a lot of incentives for countries to engage in war. Cloning doesn't really benefit anyone and doing cloning requires a ton of funding and grants and ethics boards reviews. If you're interested in the history of human cloning (and where that field of research is trending towards), I'd recommend watching this video [1]. Full human cloning is somewhat pointless however the research has lead to innovations in stem cell research which does have real benefits for things like organ transplants.

It’s not a coincidence that autocratic leaders underperform, it’s baked into the cake. If you can’t replace a leader who performs poorly, then you're going to perform badly across various measures. A few autocrats can buck this trend in the short term but very few can maintain it for the long term, even if leaders are replaced with younger leaders cut from the same cloth. The fact that most first-world nations are liberal democracies might be a wild coincidence, but it’s much more likely that the system works better than the alternative.

In some sense that’s comforting, since autocracy is self-correcting. In the other hand, the USSR maintained power for over seven decades. Self-correction can be too slow to help most people.

Also I don't think scam callers put any great deal of thinking or art into the craft (compared to LLM jailbreaking). And the fact they do it for money at the expense of other people proves the difference.

You're not incorrect in your sentiment or definition but fairness is often misused in order to downplay an individual's responsibility or to justify their actions.

An illustrative example where the use of the phrase "to be fair" would be justified:

Person A: "Brian has been very rude to me lately!"

Person B: "To be fair, he's been in a lot of pain since the surgery."

However, in this case originally, GP's request for fairness read to me as a pre-emptive dismissal of concerns regarding the ceo's performance, given that the examples did not address any criticism.

When I say I have no interest in being fair to the ceo of Mozilla, it's not to say that I believe they should be treated unjustly. Rather, it's that I believe their behaviour to be inexcusable given the context. Admittedly, this does veer a little from the dictionary definition.
I mean Montreal is the exception in Quebec too, but I get your point. I think north america in general is just not very walkable. Even cities like Quebec City (very walkable old city) only have a very small area that I would consider walkable. Another example here in Quebec would be Laval, which is very close and well connected to Montreal yet still almost always requires a car to get by outside of rush hour.
I would think having a vehicle be entirely electric must allow more options in terms of car body shape and even tyre shape/material that could possible reduce noise (and particulate) pollution even further. And certainly if we could reduce the vehicle weight (I gather the current generation of EVs typically weigh 25%+ more than their ICE equivalents - and cars have generally been getting heavier over the last couple of decades anyway, which is a trend that we desperately need to reverse, and won't happen without legislation).
Having said that, as a cyclist the idea of not being able to hear cars around me is somewhat disconcerting.

> A lot of people (not me) did believe there was going to be a return to normal post-covid, and the increasingly obvious impossibility of this is causing people to have tremendous mental health problems

What is not normal in your opinion at this point? Covid still exists as another illness that goes around, but from my point of view everything else has been back to normal for quite a while.
Nope.

> 3. If we can force companies to support Linux, why not force all websites to support Firefox? Why not force all desktop programs like Adobe to support Linux? Etc…

How would this work? I’m pragmatic about the division of public/private responsibilities, so I’m not opposed to the idea, but accommodations are highly specific to the impairment and how it affects the person.

I’m not sure how the government would manage that in a fair manner; if SSDI is any indication, not very well. The SSA has a lot of outdated bias in its guidelines for providing aid.
It doesn't matter who presses the button. It's still getting done.
Honeybees aren't declining because they're managed. Other bees are. The evidence is that honeybees are doing okay- nothing about other bees. You should still ask yourself "is this a propaganda shop", because facts are only impartial devoid of context.

> The outbreak in northern China started in May 1977

Coincidence? Do they have a climate conducive to these sorts of viruses combined with a large enough population to make it likely they get infected first or is this my selection bias in noticing when it says "started in China" versus any other country?
“the universe is the extension of the self” is precisely the idea we are talking about.

IMHO it is the only thing worth discussing.

And yes you can derive new “physics” with this idea alone.
Occam's razor here is that your interest in masks is a mental illness, and not because someone in your family is so immunocompromised or whatever that the mask is standing between that person and certain death. Is it possible that the latter is the case? Maybe. But in my view almost all cases of people stubbornly wearing masks are just psychiatric in nature.

I know my comment will just make you angry, because "you're different". But, maybe someone else will see it and consider their psychological state on this topic.
But it is often both. Just because it is essential for proper operation and therefore an implementation detail, doesn't mean it cannot be updated.

Even a device as trivial as a keyboard, mouse, or SSD drive has firmware which can be updated. Shipping them without firmware would be completely ludicrous, and you'd basically buy a fancy brick. Hell, you need to flash firmware onto it in the factory to make future updates by the user possible!
Can you elaborate on this? I am always ridiculed because I don't want to put on sunscreen for health reasons but I don't remember what the evidence was.

Unfortunately for Varoufakis who is a self-proclaimed Trekkie and Liberal Marxist, the technology isn't there yet to backup his dream of a more equable, StarTrek-like world, and while we may grow enough food to feed to world; energy and water are still treated as zero-sum games with the inevitable conflict.

Still, I greatly admired him for his stand against Scholz and the bullies from the EU, IMF and World Bank; who did everything to ignore and silence him over the Greek austerity measures in 2015. In a way his sacking which allowed Greece to capitulate, made him a celebrity and elevated his cause.

"If you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

Still waiting for his grand theory comparing between Star Wars (Feudalism/Roman Empire) and StarTrek (Liberal Commmunism) as SciFi greatly influences how he considers the world, including writing his own dystopian/utopian fiction.
The problem with an unregulated free market is that eventually one or two companies get so dominant that it is virtually impossible to challenge them as a competition, especially in fields that require immense amounts of money to break into. One might even argue that the end game of capitalism is to acquire a monopoly, which one can then use to extract rents as one feels free to do, or just keep milking locked-in customers (like IBM and Oracle are).

It took Apple, flush with cash from iPhones and iPods, a decade worth of work to create a SoC able to throw punches at eye level with Intel and AMD, which themselves grew to the unholy duopoly over decades. Chipmakers have it even worse: TSMC has all the cards, Samsung and Intel have completely fallen behind with no chance in sight that they'll match TSMC any time soon. All the other competition has gone bankrupt or stopped at lesser nodes because they couldn't keep up the pace.

There's no disrupting that, not even if you are an actual nation state.

That is a decline in those specific religions, not in religiosity.

The technology that came after Iphone 1 made it look uncapable, but at the time when it came out it was better than everything else - and it made you feel like you "live in the future".

In my opinion some sort of this technology would be very useful. If not this, then something else. Being able to see the map on the car window, or a map when you walk, or information about products (something similar to Google lens but no hands).

I can easily imagine warehouse workers using this to tell them which box of little chips to pick-up. Of course everyone talks about building completely automated warehouses, but still there are lots of non automatic ones.
There appears to have been a very serious plan to stop the counting by removing VP Pence from the scene. This would have left the election uncertified, and then various alternative panels of “fake electors” would have emerged to challenge the count. There was even a plan hatched within the political DoD leadership to declare marshal law and put the military on the streets to violently crush the ensuing protests. This has all been reported on and a few Google searches will turn up all the citations you apparently missed.
It makes me happy that it's possible that future humans might live again on an earth 12,000 years in the future which has cooled again after our civilisation has boiled the planet.
