>I genuinely wonder what the Mozilla leadership think when they see threads like this. Do they just not see them and float above the real world in some bubble

I would have spotted a literal bubble when I was an intern in the SF office, but they definitely didn't mix with us.

I interned in ~2013. I had a boss who took everyone but me out to lunch, forever aggreived I'd gotten an offer prior to Eich being forced out. Despite designing my own research project on short notice that got a lot of good feedback, I was neither hired on nor pointed somewhere in the valley to work...

Meanwhile, I got the impression that my advice to the engineers to abandon "VR" (which danah boyd had pointed out can't even be used by everyone) and the weird firefox os crap to focus on getting ram usage down and browsershare up to build up a war chest, to partner with other search engines than google and to ban said googlers from our events since they kept poaching people...

But I was not heeded, and Firefox instead introduced pocket and did a bunch of other stupid stuff...

Nevertheless, I keep using it, because I love the extension system and the community around it but that summer broke the heart of the abused pre-teen who discovered the web and themselves via it.

The old Firefox, a lean extensible open source browser... is alive if you throw some switches and are selective in your extensions... but they messed up very badly that summer after Snowden and never recovered.

California has been extreme cost since the early 2000s and it's been on a non-stop boom (almost 50% higher GDP growth than the US average - keep in mind that's with CA's outsized weight lifting up the rest of the nation - https://united-states.reaproject.org/analysis/comparative-tr...)

Yes, the middle class is being hollowed out - but is it really significantly more so than anywhere else in the US?
As far as I'm aware, that's true. In relation to the previous comments, the water will be classified as a byproduct, not an emission.
I can program in notepad. I just don't want to. Neither I'm going to my CEO to make us do that.

Say what you will of the robber barons of old, but if you tour the cities of the midwest you will see testaments all over of how they at least tried to improve the livability during their time. They built affordable housing, libraries, bus depots, schools, etc out of their or their company's profits just so they could attract people to, like, Bloomington Illinois.

That's because certain types of CEO feel a need to feel relevant by getting media exposure. They are not the majority. They are a small minority. But these certain types, whenever they feel just a little bit irrelevant, they run to a microphone and start blabbering the most inflammatory statements that they can think of. And then they get the attention they crave.

Even if this CEO's opinion was precisely the one that he expressed, it makes no sense at all to express it. Why would he potentially damage his company's standing by making unnecessarily inflammatory statements? What is the benefit for OpenAI from this?

You have to define free will first, and that is essentially impossible. What is happening in that "processing" though? That is not free will, your will is being determined by the state and context your brain is in. In fact any thing that is not a purely random choice is not a free will, and a purely random choice is not a will at all. The very concept of free will as most people understand it is absurd.

The only definitions of free will that work are deterministic ones.

To elaborate on your TV signal analogy, the TV does not get to "choose" what it shows next no matter the technical reason for the awareness of the choice coming later or not. These are physical deterministic processes.
Realistically, you're talking about a fantasy world.

Less harshly, if we want to have that kind of world, we're not going to get there by abandoning creatives by removing intellectual property protections as the first step. Within the current society, intellectual property law does more good than harm.

But besides that, I don't think a universal patreon-like support system is even ideal. I don't want to provide ongoing support for any creation/creator I appreciate. I like being able to just buy a book.
Depends on the level of government. For cities and states, taxes generate revenue, but for the federal government, taxes serve a different purpose because the US federal government is sovereign and controls it's currency.

This following is an excellent short video from the late David Graeber explaining why money is debt and what taxes do. While it's context is the UK, it applies to US or any sovereign government.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxJW7hl8oqM

For California it's absolutely about revenue. But a dual purpose is to provide incentives/disincentives for certain behaviors. Even states that require taxes for revenue give tax breaks for incentivizing certain things to companies and other groups.

At the federal level taxes serve to mainly provide a demand for the currency, control the levels of money in the broader economy, and incentivize/disincentivize behavior. Unlike cities and states, the federal government must necessarily be in a perpetual state of deficit for the private sector to have a surplus.

To further back up Gaeber's claims, here is a reference from the Bank of England explaining how money is created.

One wonders if you also rail at the authoritarian nature of stoplights.

At that on one particular 4-way with that one particular car with that one particular driver, they successfully ran a red light without causing an accident, therefore, we should all just ignore stop lights because they're an authoritarian construct designed to cow us into submission.

Or perhaps it's those authoritarian posters telling young people to use condoms. Because in that one particular bed in that one particular house with that one particular young couple they had unprotected sex without transmitting any STDs or getting pregnant, therefore we can conclude that signage telling people to use condoms is purely a social construct with no long term real world consequences.

But by all means Don Quixote, you keep fighting the good fight.

Saying that it sounds like something you could have said opens the floodgates to why you could have said it. In this case, "Yeah, I could have admitted to a crime" is a quick way to go to jail.

So is saying you don't recall. Which is why people don't take the stand in their own defense. But scammers like SBF make their living off of being in front of people in hopeless situations, and finding a way to convince them. So of course they want to roll the dice. Which he did.

Unfortunately for scammers like SBF, courtrooms and lawyers are well-equipped to handle most of the tricks that scammers use. So the result of their testifying is like a street tough entering a BJJ gym and learning the hard way that chokeholds actually work.

The correct answer to the "tabs vs spaces" debate is tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment. This allows people to use any tab width they want and it will always look good.

However, in the real world, attempting this won't work because there will be a minimum of 1 person in the team that configures their editor to convert tabs to spaces.

Ideally, that person should have their PRs rejected and be scolded into fixing their editor. But the real result ends up just forcing everyone to use spaces.
Using AuNPs and AI for Detecting Molecular Signatures
And I want to add how quickly things have changed in this space. In 2005, only 2% of Americans had cellphones. By 2010 that was still under 30%. But by 2016, more than 80%. Not to mention that these phones' qualities have drastically changed as well. In 2010 you could walk around in public and would be very surprised if you found yourself in the background of someone's video posted online. Now I don't think anyone would be shocked, especially living in a big city (definitely would in a rural town). Let alone that video be high enough quality to recognize you. We can probably say the same about the number of CCTV cameras as well. Or even how much data was being gathered on the web.

I don't think enough people are internalizing how radically the world has shifted in the last 10-20 years. 10 years ago generative image models couldn't generate a black and white 32x32 image of a face. Now I can trivially transform a photo of my friend into a dog and make him bark. For most people this technology came out of nowhere because of the lag. The same goes true for other things like the internet, cellphones, social media, etc. Is it really that much of a wonder why there's so much craziness going on right now when so much has changed so fast?

And fwiw, speaking of satellites, there are now multiple companies (not governments. Companies) who's goal is to get a daily snapshot of the entire surface of the earth. They already have cameras where you can see clearly the color of cars from space. There are some where you can see people (albeit hard to see, but you only need to identify a dot to track it). We now should expect that resolution to increase, not only in number of pixels, but frequency. This technology can do a lot of good, just like ML, but at the same time it can be used for a log of destruction and oppression, just like ML. The question is if these technologies are going to go the way of atomics or the way of the internet. But even simply saying this, I, a dumb human who's barely more advanced than our chimp cousins and barely capable of communicating, have a hard time internalizing what this future world will be like, despite being only 10 or so years away.
The phone itself looks like a pretty insignificant portion of the total equipment cost. Why would you use an iPhone instead of an full camera at that point?

> Still, he hadn’t made any of those statements under legal oath, had he? Well… that remained true until we reached his Congressional testimony. Bankman-Fried read aloud testimony he’d submitted to Congress: that trading platforms’ obligations included maintaining sufficient liquid assets that customers could withdraw on request. That platforms should ensure appropriate bookkeeping to prevent misuse of customer assets. Ensuring appropriate management of risks. Avoiding conflicts of interest.

Only for the purpose of tracking how much time each vehicle was parked so you can charge them for that time. Absolutely nothing else. You should also be legally required to delete that information immediately after the transaction is done.
It could be seen that way, although I disagree with that viewpoint. For the same reason I don’t think it’s privileged perspective to ban organ sales because someone would need to sell a kidney to eat.

I’m going to keep ensuring that this possibly-only-good-for-the-privileged world is realized and I think modern privacy regulation like the GDPR helps, which is why I’m supportive of it.
Things could be a lot more simplified than they are now if there wasn't such a deep maze of profiteering and control in web tech.

The influx of tons of copycat frameworks and over-nuanced languages was never meant to evolve from HTML into what it is now.

I've developed sites in PHP for many years even though it too is complicated, but I'm thankful I havent had to waste years off of my life waiting for code to compile to be honest.

I really wish all the code warriors would stop trying to dominate everything with obscure methods of making simple app pages render and focus on functionality that meets the mission of app users. Even on open source tools like WordPress, there is an overcomplicated ecosystem of people seeking profit for their modules, so much that they often put out flawed and hobbled version of their modules to encourage upselling... I am not against profit making, but Open Source was not meant to be based on profit making, and simply put, it gets corrupted by profit making practices.

Cloud Hosting, Containers, Ai, Zero Trust... all of these principles have worked to further complicate the development process, and they serve to drive overall time spent and operational costs up, but what's more important is that adding all of these new elements to the process make things even more complex and time consuming than they used to be, while usually breaking down and being circumvented over time by developers anyway to meet project deadlines.

I've used Drupal for many years now, it's been pretty reliable and now that I know it well, I can implement it quickly and efficiently. It too has gotten more and more complex over time, but it is one of the most consistent frameworks I've ever leveraged in terms of being functional and not requiring the purchase of additional tools and software to operate well.

Most importantly, I can run and develop Drupal sites locally, even without an Internet connection in most cases, well before needing to deploy it to an expensive cloud host... It has self contained authentication, permissions, and many other features that I don't need to recreate from scratch every time I build a site for a client.

That being said, another time saving option you can use is to hack/fork a traditional open source bulletin board tool to create a more dynamic, but still easy to update web site... WordPress is not the only option out there. :]
They really buried the "duh" in the article, after random people like me, who know nothing about astronomy, were entertaining ideas more like a Dyson sphere.
Making fun of dominant religions, that are in no danger of being wiped out because people find them ridiculous, is fine.

Making fun of marginalized religions, which are already frequently ridiculed because they're different from what the dominant culture does, and which are under threat, either overall or within a given area, is a very different matter.

The problem with cultural appropriation is specifically that it exacerbates marginalization and discrimination against already-marginalized groups.
Yes! I recently watched Hello Tomorrow during the day and had to turn up the brightness on my TV to make out some of the scenes. Day or night shots in the show didn't matter, it was all too dark and pale looking.

Watching the same episode at night for me was a much nicer experience.

Me too, I was on Formentera, which is an island off the east coast of Spain, just below Ibiza.

It's a small Island, only accessible by boat. One summer evening I went for a walk along the beach with my partner and we stood there in the clear night - with no light pollution, with the whole milky way above us. There were thousands and thousands of stars I had never seen before in a giant array that stretched across the whole sky. Subtle colours and brightness differences gave the milky way a structure and randomness at the same time, it was an incredibly beautiful and humbling experience, and changed my perspective of the universe too.

That's some of it but not all of it. If you uncheck those and proxy FF when it's starting you'll see the chatter. I have the doc page I'm talking about somewhere but I have no idea where it is. Fully disabling it is a long complex process involving about:config.

Well, the misleading thing is that Apple's implication is "you too can make videos that look like this with just the phone in your pocket" (emphasis mine).

> the pros were able to slot this in and do their normal workflows

Because you can't do it with "just the phone in your pocket". You can do it with the $50-100K of equipment you see on that page, just using the phone as the camera, one small part of the process. (Not to denigrate the camera's role - I am a photographer, though not a videographer, so I appreciate the importance).
I've worked with a "big brain type system shaman" before. If anything, this is a very kind and charitable analysis. People who are obsessed with type hierarchies are _insufferable_ to work with, and their justifications often live in the land of "well what if"'s and "but that's not _sound_"'s. A lot of the enshittification that's induced by type systems comes from folks who believe that simply with enough types they will be able to completely prevent bugs, and that's just not true.

How do you know that, on top of whatever SBF, etc., ran off with, embezzled, misdirected, and stole, someone else didn't?

AFAIK, there is clear accounting of misuse of some amount of the funds, but it there's no complete balanced accounting overall, and the whole structure of the FTX network of conpanies was designed to make that impossible.

I completely agree. But, it's very rarely a full moon.

When there's no moon at all, which is literally half the time, you might be surprised at how pitch black it is at night. Or just, you know, when there's heavy clouds.
No, you're writing something that happens to resemble a small subset of the functionality of a filesystem.

Most importantly, you're not duplicating the effort for every filesystem that you want to support encryption for, and the code can largely remain fixed once mature.
Again, unless you have data, seems like hot air.

Edit: Just to address the implication head on... The claim you are making is that it's so obvious everyone but shills will admit it.

But this is itself not true. It's a divisive topic among every demographic who harbors an opinion on the matter.

The jury is definitely still out and the story in the end is unlikely to be monolithic, but different along several dimensions.
