I've read plenty of documents from lawyers I don't pay that were not trying to influence or scare me. It would be really strange to assume their documents were. And when it comes to interpreting legal documents (what is being discussed here), "I'm not a lawyer" is far worse than "I'm not your lawyer".

Ghostguns meant mostly-home-made a few years ago.Typified by 3d printed guns.

Recently (last 3 years) there has been an attempt at redefinition to include 80% guns (80% of work completed before purchase, end user does >60 min of work to complete it) and normal guns with their SN removed.

So now when someone quotes ghostgun numbers, they're mostly talking about normal guns with SN's removed.
Glass-half-full or glass-half-empty, the fact of the matter is that they intentionally disclaim legal rights which would otherwise have automatically been available to the user in many jurisdictions.

It's crazy to me how it is completely normal for engineers in other fields to be held liable for shoddy work, but many software engineers think they're upholding users' rights by giving them software that prohibits users from holding them responsible for their work.

These limitations exist solely out of convenience for the author.

Many are misunderstanding when the panic happens. It does not happen when the user requests the path, it happens when the path is registered. The user will never arrive at that path to be notified. You will be notified that you have a logic error at the application startup. It can be caught by the simplest of tests before you deploy your application.
> Socialism means worker ownership of the means of production

Isn't that trending towards a definition of communism? Socialism could mean a lot of different things; economic protectionism is a market inefficiency designed to champion things like jobs over corporate profits, and was a policy choice made by some socialist governments in the latter 20th century.

LLMs do not have beliefs, so "delusion" is no better than "hallucination". As statistical models of texts, LLMs do not deal in facts, beliefs, logic, etc., so anthropomorphizing them is counter-productive.

An LLM is doing the exact same thing when it generates "correct" text that it's doing when it generates "incorrect" text: repeatedly choosing the most likely next token based on a sequence of input and the weights it learned from training data. The meaning of the tokens is irrelevant to the process. This is why you cannot trust LLM output.
> We believe energy should be in an upward spiral. Energy is the foundational engine of our civilization. The more energy we have, the more people we can have, and the better everyone’s lives can be. We should raise everyone to the energy consumption level we have, then increase our energy 1,000x, then raise everyone else’s energy 1,000x as well.

Let's not do that on Earth please. If you want to build a planet-sized solar concentrator in space for reasons, knock yourself out.

In fact, until we figure out how to not rely on fossil fuels, I think we're better off reducing energy use. We can do that and get more useful work done at the same time by using energy more efficiently. In many respects that will be the natural consequence of electrification of formerly fossil-fuel technology. EVs are far more efficient than ICE vehicles.

> We believe there is no inherent conflict between the techno-capital machine and the natural environment. Per-capita US carbon emissions are lower now than they were 100 years ago, even without nuclear power.

Even if true, about half the CO2 emissions since the industrial revolution happened in the last 30 years or so. The path we're on is one that leads to environmental and economic devastation and misery.

Interestingly I wonder if it's an issue of just a difference between the two designs in terms of scenarios its optimized for (a.k.a. there's a tradeoff).

If the EV's skateboard battery water seal is functioning perfectly then EV will perform well, perhaps better than a traditional design ICE/EV/PHEV platform.

If the EV's skateboard battery water seal has been compromised, then due to its relatively low placement, a lower than normal water levels may cause significant damages.

Yeah, GitHub Projects/Issues have picked up a lot of "features" that only a (Microsoft) PM could love. Many of them don't even light up unless you are in a paid organization (or GitHub Enterprise) (not just a paid account, but a paid organization) so probably a lot of GitHub users probably don't even realize how much GitHub now has feature "parity" with Jira or AzDO. (Nor how quickly that has happened.)

I'm mostly aware of it from GitHub Universe and Microsoft BUILD demonstration videos. Both of which give me a lot of signals that Microsoft internally has moved a lot faster to GitHub than it did from predecessors to TFS/TFS+git. Some of the teams talking about it are huge ones (both in terms of size but also in terms of weight internal/external to the company).

From their own hype videos in the virtual sides of the two conferences, I certainly get the impression they reached "good enough" feature "parity" with AzDO Work Items internally a year or two ago, at least. That doesn't seem like the reason they keep saying AzDO is still alive.

I do realize that AzDO has some big enough Enterprise customers though that not spooking them can be a big reason for the weird messaging despite their overt actions and all the subtle hints that AzDO is dead. But also, my understanding is that many of those customers don't entirely care if a migration needs to happen so long as they are given a migration with a far enough out deadline. [1] I know some companies seem to be acting more spooked that there isn't a deadline yet for AzDO's shutdown. (It was a factor in my last employer migrating to Atlassian's terrible products for everything but repository hosting after years in AzDO [after years in Bitbucket and Atlassian's terrible products and hating them; vicious cycle].)

I obviously don't know what Microsoft is truly waiting for at this point to kill AzDO, which gets back to that feeling that it is something fundamentally weirder such as a superstition.

[1] Case in point: no one seems to be shouting too much about the crazy Azure AD to Entra shenanigans because it has dates and timelines! The timelines don't even make sense: among other things, Azure AD B2B and Azure AD B2C both get marketed as "deprecated" months before their Entra counterparts are expected to leave "Beta" or "Preview" statuses and even more months before automated migration tools are expected to be available. But it is all a planned migration and that makes all the difference.

The original accelerationist manifesto was written by people who did study history. You can find it here: https://criticallegalthinking.com/2013/05/14/accelerate-mani...

#accelerate was a meme (which, mainly referred to a set of aesthetics) on Google circles around 2011

Since then, the meme evolved into a bit of a war between l/acc (the original sense of the term) and r/acc (Nick Land flavored).

e/acc is a play on this—but a decade removed, the original context has been mostly forgotten

To understand the original historical context, you can read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Accelerate-Accelerationist-Reader-Urb..., which traces it back to, among other things, an essay by Marx
Ha! Or Rule 34a, "every sufficiently observed phenomenon, has just become somebody's new fetish".

Although actually, and on a slightly more innocent (but just as edgy!) note, the thing that immediately popped into my head upon reading "4D Gaussian Splatting", was the music from the 1992 Future Crew demo Unreal, and the image of it's inter-scene title screens. ["IYKYK", but basically, that famous old PC demo consists of several short sections, each showcasing a particular coding/graphical technique - each section prefaced by a title screen which named the effect being showcased.]

I don't equate accepting UBI to being a freeloader. If you read the results of various UBI trials, the participants generally used the funds wisely to meet their most immediate and pressing needs, and were then able to take steps to improve their condition, via education or training of some sort. These people didn't need a handout, just a helping hand.

And my main concern isn't about the morality of others, but about my own. What I am concerned about, however, is the state of our society and whether our environment, including our social environment, is improving or deteriorating. That has a direct effect on me. So from my point of view, if my taxes increase to match, say, some Scandinavian country, but my life and my surroundings noticeably improve, that's a worthwhile tradeoff.

I didn't say everything in nytimes is "true" (whatever it means) according to that article, but I'll trust nytimes more than a random person on Twitter any day. Even better, I have subscriptions to multiple newspapers, some of which have opposite political positions, and you'll need to work pretty hard to say you have better sources than what I am reading every day.

I read/watched a lot about the behind-the-scene stories of these media organizations, and I have faith in their methodology in verifying sources and checking all the details. They have hiccups, sometimes really bad ones, sure, but that doesn't mean alternatives sources are better.

> Try to find a HN thread about glyphosate where no one gaslights, deflects, toxifies or baits.

That's an impossible barrier. Not only are those complete subjective traits, that stuff is going to appear in nearly every online discussion, especially one with any sort of controversy attached.

It seems fairly clear to me that the harmfulness of glyphosate (when used as directed) is somewhere between none and inconclusive. Even in cases where it's been grossly misused, any "link" has come significantly short of a causal link since it's usually just a guy who got cancer and also used to work on a farm. Given the prevalence and duration of glyphosate use, compelling evidence should be readily available, just like it was with lead or asbestos. Absence of evidence is very much not evidence of absence but glyphosate has to be the number two most studied chemical behind aspartame, another chemical that's been routinely attacked and routinely proven to be safe.

Given that most of the assertions of glyphosate's harm is coming from the lawyers of people filing lawsuits, I'm not too swayed by their unsupported arguments.
that's a pretty heavy misrepresentation of this post.

Between the times the piece twists itself up in knots of self-contradiction or is just, purely internally, gibberish, plus the amount of it that’s, as you rightly call out, “fortune cookie horseshit” and is best ignored, it’s a challenge to even reach a point of beginning to address and critique its substance.

You’re 100% right. I had 800k points I was sitting on for years because it took weeks or months of advanced (in both senses of temporal and complexity) planning to try to spend them optimally. No one is getting optimal rewards under constraints. Sure, it is possible to get round trip business class SFO to SIN for like 60k points in some edge cases. But the more typical scenario is that only on certain flights at certain times that are scooped up immediately by people who are in the know and religiously checking for exactly these deals.

What really happens is you hope you can do that but then get frustrated and either sit on your points for years or spend 2-3x the “optimal value” amount for something basic. Don’t get me wrong I like points, and it feels good cashing in on international business class tickets, but spending them in any way close to optimal is a stressful mess of transferring between airlines, calling service reps to get hidden seats and deals, gambling on upgrade availability, etc.

Finding great deals is not something accessible to someone who is only willing to spend 1-2 hours looking for a flight. You really do need to make it a hobby. I asked on r/awardtravel a few months back where all the deals were for an international flight I was trying to book 5 months in advance and got downvoted to oblivion because “everyone knows those deals are gone by now, you need to look at least 9 months in advance”.

From the original "[...] Manifesto for an Accelerationist Politics" from 2013[1]:

> 7. We want to accelerate the process of technological evolution. But what we are arguing for is not techno-utopianism. Never believe that technology will be sufficient to save us. Necessary, yes, but never sufficient without socio-political action. Technology and the social are intimately bound up with one another, and changes in either potentiate and reinforce changes in the other. Whereas the techno-utopians argue for acceleration on the basis that it will automatically overcome social conflict, our position is that technology should be accelerated precisely because it is needed in order to win social conflicts.

> Rather, they were against an unequal distribution of that technology because it was destroying their community and livelihood, precisely because that technology concentrated power in the hands of the capital class [1]

I find discussions about the Luddites online to be deeply illustrative not of the Luddites themselves but of a person's political beliefs. The Luddites did indeed fight for their community and livelihood, but theirs came by dismantling another one. For hundreds of years prior the textiles trade was dominated by the Mughal Empire. British colonization in South Asia, fed by a multitude of factors including industrialization, dismantled the subcontinent's dominant position in the market and eventually catapulted British textile production to the world stage. This created the skilled textile jobs that were eventually mechanized and displaced. The Luddites then did not want to turn back the textile market fully back to a world dominated by South Asia but into the middle where they owned the means of production.

Accelerationists view Luddites as obstructionists. Labor sympanthizers view Luddites as a movement for labor protections. The wider view of history paints a more subtle picture.

Spotify has a catalogue that appeals to people that like pop music. Bandcamp provides an outlet for artists that aren't part of the pop music spectrum. I'm deep into electronic music and Bandcamp is the _only_ place that some artists are even listed, and it's become an amazing space for artists that want to release limited press special edition records - pre-ordered by fans to cover the manufacturing price. Prior to this I acquired a few cool records via Kickstarter, but Bandcamp is preferable.

Furthermore, Spotify are well known for paying artists next to nothing. Bandcamp are well known for letting artists take the majority of the purchase price of their music.

Not to mention, listening to mp3s is for chumps!

Bandcamp is the best there is (for now) if you want to financially support the artists you like. I spend a lot of time in record stores (both physical and digital) but they are mostly extinct now. There's a few I still frequent: Juno, Boomkat, Hardwax among them, but the more the world turns to services like Spotify, the less room there is for real music stores.

It's super annoying how the internet kills everything that was good. Bullshit for the masses over quality service for people that care.
I think that's what I don't like about it, also.

It seems like it gives me recommendations too similar to what I'm already listening to.
