It is actually fairly normal for foundations to go off the rails unless there is tight control.

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy always applies:

----

Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people":

First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration.

Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc.

The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization.

I've seen a few stories of murders where the "smart" criminal turned their phone off during the exact window the crime took place. That and being seen at the scene of the crime was used as evidence.

So the intent part is definitely a thing if they simply turn off their phone.

I definitely did forget to link the study. I'd try to find it again if it was a point of contention but it doesn't sound like it is.

I think peer group and culture have a large impact. I'm not aware of any studies showing you can train self-control in any meaningful sense (if we could we wouldn't need to put so many people on adderall). And I'd be surprised if we can't train self-control when we try to train it, but are very successful at training it at school where we aren't specifically trying to train it.

Also just from personal experience I've seen a few poor->rich and rich->poor transitions and it didn't seem to meaningfully affect their personality. But if you have studies or anecdotes that tell a different story, I'd love to hear them.
Yes, Doctorow's article talks in the end about the exceptional nature of universal computing which means that competition is always an option.

I feel the exact opposite. I've recently been experimenting with ipv6 only via NAT64/DNS64 and run into the same problem (with steam trying to connect out to hard-coded ipv4 addresses).

I started to look into CLAT and really didn't want to have to go through the hassle of a whole new virtual interface with routes etc, when one single app can't just pass a couple different args to connect().

I actually had thought about trying to write something exactly like this myself.

I'm glad to learn it already exists.

> Doesn't that sound like stratifying society a bit

Do you see being able to afford a different mobile/Internet plan or own a different car as unnecessarily stratifying society? Would you rather everyone had the same government-mandated thing?

It doesn’t mean everyone will choose something for their income bracket, either. Maybe you can afford Meta’s $10/mo, but still go for the $1 sub because you don’t think the extra fluff is worth $9.

> I don't have a lot of faith in interopability mixing well with profit incentives

Network effects only work when you have a free product, and free product means being sponsored by another side of the double-sided market (e.g., advertisers) or by the government. When you don’t have a free product, network effects are out of the equation and there’s no “all my friends are there so I will be too”. You have services competing for users. To retain users, you would have to implement features they want. Users will obviously demand interoperability, on their terms, or leave to the next competitor who will offer it.

> A lot of socializing has moved to giant private group chats, I don't particularly want to segregate by income more.

Exactly. Facebook, Discord group chats. Now if we follow the money, they have an incentive to lock users & data in precisely because of the above. Free products, sponsored by something external (advertisers, investor money), that created a habit and entitlement in people that they don’t need to pay for a service. Someone always pays, and if it’s not you then you should probably be concerned who pays for you and why.

(There is a separate problem, in that interesting conversations might happen in more exclusive groups due to commercial LLMs crawling the web and ignoring copyright robbing people of the usual incentives for open information exchange—street cred, fame—but that’s a different conversation.)

> Vc funding eating the entire market before being left to wonder how to sustain itself is a seperate problem from the ad-driven model itself imo.

It’s an adjacent problem. The reason free products were possible in the first place is investors letting them burn money to attract users with a free offer, and then bait-and-switch them into becoming a product. This is subverting how the market is supposed to work. A paid service is, ideally, the opposite of that.
Because the sad truth is that a lot of people really aren't very nice, and the anonymity of platforms like Reddit makes them feel empowered to act in ways that they would never consider doing in real life.

It would be a privacy nightmare, but if everyone was forced to sign up under there real name with robust identity verification you'd get a much less toxic community.

Since first reading it, I’ve come to disagree with this post. For personal projects, my main language is Haskell, which Hague counts as a ‘puzzle language’. But that doesn’t match my experience: if I know the problem domain, I can write a solution very fluently in Haskell. (If I don’t know the problem domain, of course, it’s difficult in any language.) I find Haskell as easy to write programs in as Python, if not more so.

On the other hand, there are some other languages I find baffling. For instance, C++. Whenever I have to use C++, I find it horribly confusing. It takes me considerable effort to figure out how to structure my program in such a way that the compiler won’t, for instance, insert a destructor call before I’ve used an object. Or that I won’t run into any one of the considerable number of footguns C++ contains. This is a language I find truly puzzling.

For this reason, I suspect that what is a ‘puzzle language’ is mostly to do with what you’re familiar with and the way you think. For me, C++ is a puzzle language. For Hague, Haskell is a puzzle language. For both of us, J is a puzzle language — but I can easily imagine someone who can write programs easily in J.

Yeah. I'm working on that. This isn't really a pitch and you probably wouldn't want my cyberdeck. It's my dev workstation and yeah, no one wants that. I mostly mentioned it just because I'm getting to a phase where I am interested to get eyes on the weirder parts. Honestly, the concept itself is kind of a filter. If you look at it and get why you would want it, then we should probably talk, you're likely doing some weird stuff yourself!

The real pitch is working towards seamless natural user interface for streaming composite spatial data. The easiest thing to explain that people will get is architectural pre-visualization. You've got plans and lot lines, input plans, it generates a structure, that's a known solution, easy peasy. That is layered over GIS data from whatever source. Construction is underway, I can do drone surveying and flightpath automation to do photogrammatry or NeRF or whatever to build and overlay the model from the scan. Simulations are easy for erosion, or looking at the light at different times of year. I can drop ship you a 3D printed architectural model or some sort of widget. If you point your phone at that widget, you can interact directly with the information. Standard AR fare, you can go onsite and see the AR stuff. Builders can take scans of things in production and combine them. Yadda yadda. I have a company that is selling basically that. But to get to there, what I'm after is real time streaming composites with effortless and inexpensive mcguffens.

Composing things for a real time stream to be delivered for people to look at needs to have sort of LOD fallback. Streaming compressed point clouds that can be altered in real time, cameras that can be controlled or tabbed through, pulling video from multiple sources and muxing all of that into a cohesive digital product attached to a physical / inexpensive medium that a person can interact with. To build these things I've also had a focus on audio reactivity. Composition based on the sounds produced in the real world and in the digital world. Say 20 people have the same mcguffin, they can all fiddle with parts in place on their desktop as an AR or VR experience, or they can just open up a browser and mess with the world like a traditional video game. Or there can be a stream of 4k to Youtube or Twitch or whatever and that can be synced up to augment.

This is a long term study on what I don't like about modern computing and what I want to see. The stuff that makes money is high throughput distributed GPU compute and GIS mapping. These days people also want LLMs in everything so I've got the stack to produce that and it pays the bills.

The parts are really starting to fall into place though and I expect I'll have my "killer demo" by the end of the year. The problem is with this really is that I can't point to something and say "it's like that" because it doesn't exist and no one else is trying to do anything similar as far as I can tell.

Anyway, thanks for looking!

Cruel or unusual punishment is a standard that only applies to convicted prisoners, and not those in county jails, which come under due process.

Generally though, yes, you are right it becomes a constitutional violation, rather than a statutory violation if you don't feed the prisoners. Often though the statues give rights above and beyond the constitution. For instance, in Illinois it requires jails to give prisoners 1800 calories a day. But it is not enforceable. So they can give a lot less as long as they don't kill you. And IIRC the statute also demands "The menu shall be diversified so as to avoid the monotony of a standardized diet." which again is not enforceable. So they can basically just feed you Nutriloaf once a day and call it job done.

https://ilga.gov/commission/jcar/admincode/020/0200070100011...

It's funny because the first line includes a bug in it. It says a minimum of "1800 to 2000 calories." Well, which is it?

(also, just a thought, but there are generally no punishments for violating a person's constitutional rights -- you can sue for your injuries, but prisoners specifically are severely restricted by Congress on bringing suits against their captors because there were too many, and those suits can only allege physical harm, not any kind of mental
or emotional suffering)
When I travel I bring a spare battery. Then I don't have to keep charging the phone all the time, and sometimes it might not be possible. With a spare that's one thing less to worry about.

The second thing is battery degradation. After a while the amount of charge will drop, and replacing it with a new and fresh battery feels like giving the phone new life.

I have a server, a small project of mine, and i installed nextcloud. Now my whole family and close friends use it to backup our photos. The official app for it is exceptional for syncing (you can set it to ONLY do the sync when charging or other parameters). There are other benefits of nextcloud (contact backup/Calendar/Messaging etc) and you can set it up on a raspberrypi with an external hard drive, throw it near your router (preferably both on a UPS for an "always on" solution) and forget about it. All the management can be done though the web interface (updates, new apps which you could find something helpful to you, etc ) and the installation is pretty easy.

If you decide to go with it, i recommend that you get a domain and set it up as a DDNS through cloudflare.
For plenty of banks that's not the case. For ex Wells Fargo charges $10/month if your balance is less than $500[1]. That's a big deal for some people.

Many ordinary people who try to get an ordinary bank account at an ordinary bank they take the bus and the walk to end up paying fees.

This. Masks are a lot more acceptable in public than they were 5 years ago. Given the mass surveillance going around, I'm surprised more people aren't in favour of regular mask wearing in public.
> Well, this comments explains a lot. Why are you even having this discussion if your engineering literacy is at this level?

No it doesn't. I think you're missing what I mean. You need enough panels to generate ~82TWh/day. That roughly equates to 45 million panels of around 2m^2 so you'd roughly need around 136km^2. So they'd fit on Hawaii.

That's for the worlds entire consumption though, so even though you could fit the 45 million panels in one spot, in the middle of the pacific (so your previous point is moot) - you'd spread them around the world.

So despite no one apparently being interested in this crazy "whole-earth storage-free solar" We've already installed 1.75 billion panels globally to date. So the numbers are not a crazy engineering challenge. It's actually just a distribution problem.

But sure, stick to attacking me rather than prosecuting the idea. I'm sure that's how all innovation happens right?
Yeah it’s really bizarre. It reminds me of times when I’ve gone to a charities website and things start getting weird and eventually I realize it’s run by some religious cult. Sucks though, seems like at a certain point you should just be honest that you are more interested in social issues so that people who want to support the actual development of processing know your foundation isn’t the way to do so.
I don't know anything about it, however the power consumption is non trivial: 5.25 W (net 4.25 W) Maximum noise inside device at 50 cm 21 dBA. Maximum power consumption 1 W. A laptop fan is around 2.25W or so for the whole operation and it can definitely dissipate more than 10W produced. A laptop will need 5 or so, more if it has any discreet GPU.

Funny note of the site - everything is metric (even pressure is Pascals, distances for the noise is cm - 50), but the airflow is in cfm (cubic feet per minute)

It's showing me a lot of luxury handbag influencers that obviously target a very different demographic. I'm absolutely sure I never looked for anything like that (I follow mostly science/scientist accounts and comics and I'm male). I also keep getting ads for commercial pilot insurance and I'm definitely not in that demographic either. Instagram's recommendation model seems to work well if you fit a common categorization well (women interested in luxury handbags perhaps), and utterly break down when you don't. I'm a software engineer, I don't need specialty carts to move Boeing aircraft engines.
I think it could much more fairly be read as "...out of alternate sources for real-time short-form communication, BBC has given up on Threads, but is sticking with Mastodon".

Twitter/X is the 'default' and the assumption that media will be on it...while Threads and Mastodon are the _alternatives_. This article, to me, is just suggesting that BBC has dropped _one of the alternatives_.
