Two wrongs don’t make a right. I object to non-consensual collection of newborn DNA as well.

And it’s not bringing murderers to justice per se. It’s the implications to others. I don’t want MegaCorp extrapolating my medical history via my cousin’s DNA.
> The US is now on the verge of the second great breakthrough of mass automation of that data, intelligence and action. I am honestly shocked that this third stage of American Dominance has not be countered by any other nation save China, and even they're only defensively.

As someone who has similar thoughts, I'm not so sure. The EU has been trying for a while. Russia also puts quite a bit of effort into having an Internet that can operate separately from the US.

edit: That still doesn't explain to me why China and Russia don't have stronger pro-Linux (or something) initiatives. Even the middle powers could at least try to have some control over their technological infrastructure.

In this case the machine also has negative and yet unknown side effects. We don't give nuclear power to everyone.
Do you want to leave to the next generation a virgin planet, with not even a mud hut for shelter?

I don't. They inherit the labor of many centuries, they can continue it.
I get what you're saying, but nutrition is probably not a great example because we know nearly nothing about it. It's not ok to lock someone in a room and force-feed them for years to get data.

Anyways, that aside, what's insane to me is that there is a nearly-simultaneous story of the Opioid epidemic and people aren't losing their minds over this.
> Large organisations are so woefully inefficient that I'm surprised they're able to compete at all

It's easy to understand: large orgs are competing against other large orgs that are similarly inefficient, because efficiency in a large org is a really, really, really hard human problem that we simply haven't solved.

And remember they're still providing a valuable service/product. For all their inefficiency, they're still more efficient than not existing at all. This is why they would exist if there weren't competition.

And you might ask, what about competition from small orgs? Well, a small org has less efficiencies of scale, but if they are efficient otherwise, they can sometimes compete effectively with the large org. But then they grow into a large org and will wind up with all of the large org inefficiencies.

It's just how things are. It's not that nobody cares -- to the contrary, company owners care hugely. It's that literally nobody has any idea how to solve it.
How is you getting $100k for 2 years, putting it into a 5% APY high yield savings account, then returning it in 2 years and pocketing $10k, "stuck in servitude."

>people with money problems

yes yes, a bunch of you "not salesmen by trade" engineers here, who came over from the teenage antiwork subreddit, are on this thread making up fake facts about this case, and calling a guy with a $3mil house "people with money problems." As someone who spent half of my career as a presales engineer designing and rolling out data storage networks, I fully understand your point, and your reasoning. You want to be angry at someone instead of yourself, so you'll make up victims and double-down on your stance till it kills you.

They owe money back, because they were given an interest free loan. They got laid off, because when the market shrinks, it's not the responsibility of a company to keep paying you for doing nothing. I have mentioned "these facts" fifty times already in this thread. But I would not expect you to change the way you look at them no matter what anyone says. It's similar to a guy I saw while working at a hospital a while ago, the summer when everyone I know got a vaccine. He was cough-screaming that covid was a big pharma hoax as they put him on the ventilator. He never woke up, but he did die thinking he was right. Reality didn't care what he thought, reality just is.
The one that weirds me out is San Pedro, CA vs San Pedro Square in San Jose, CA.

The first one is pronounced peedrow, nearly always. The second one is pronounced paydrow (as it would be in Spanish, or for a person), most of the time. San is optional for San Pedro, but not for San Pedro Square.

> Intel 8088 : 8/16-bit microprocessor — 8-bit registers with a 16-bit data bus.

> Uhh...8088 is 16-bit CPU

The 8086 / 8088 have eight registers, four general ones (AX, BX, CX, DX) which are made up of two 8 bit registers (AL, AH, BL, BH, CL, CH, DL, DH), so it's both not completely incorrect about 8 bit registers (although I'd agree that it's misleading to say that) but definitely incorrect about the 16 bit data bus.
One I've noticed growing a gap in recent years is "attribute" which when I used to know as having different pronunciations for the verb and the noun. The links given for different English dialects demonstrate a conflicted range, in line with growth of differing use I've seen generally propagating through, primarily Youtube. Language always changes, so perhaps it doesn't matter, but it seems like things like this might contribute as much as they solve.
I used to tease the sudden change of Apple's stance on Intel CPUs at the time of the transition. Before the transition, Apple mocked x86 and insisted that PowerPC was indeed much faster than x86. There were even proponents of Apple who said the same thing. All of a sudden, Apple changed its mind and praised x86 as a superior one.

Yes but those 'social constructs' did not develop arbitrarily or randomly.

In fact there is so much amateur speculation into the likely causes behind their development, the beneficiaries, etc., that such writings occupy thousands of corners spread across the internet.

It's difficult to imagine any 18 year old with internet access in the last decade or two could even have avoided encountering any mention of it.
Granted, it's not much, but I did this under an assumed name and declined to allow them to keep the sample. I think it's good that the DNA is being used for science, I just hope I can keep some privacy from it.
My guess is the people most likely to pay would be the most valuable to advertise to. This is why I’m doubtful a hybrid model will work out.

As a reference, $245,573 in 1995 is like $495,962 in 2023.
The drivers are the smaller problem IMHO. Companies use 20 years old software which is a) difficult to port to a different arch b) is no longer developed c) the source code is lost.
Completely concur with the notion that if something is "perfectly legal" then there is no basis for judging the bad actor poorly. There absolutely is of course as judgement in this context is a moral choice, not a legal one.

The other one I wish would die is: "It is not illegal if you don't get caught."
Ok, but we also have to accept that "empathy" is often misplaced, that's part of the issue I think.
Honestly, that sounds slightly questionable. AIUI it's an absence or deficiency of theory of mind. It's something you haven't - it's a lack, like deafness. As to whether it's an illness or not, I suppose it's not but I've worked with an autistic/Asperger's person and was truly horrified when I started to understand the extent of how it affected him, and negatively, in his working relationships with us. From that POV it's a terrible debilitation.
Web Scraping: Data for Everyone
Ah yes, a hyperobject, a system so big for your head that you should take our word for it, but not so big as to preclude us from asking you to do so. Do these people have superhuman brains or something?

Everything is a hyperobject. The sun, the atmosphere of Jupiter, the asteroid belt, the human brain even. We don't just shut up and stop trying, we grasp what we can. And we are pretty good at it. A man references the hyperobject as the reason it's hopeless to try, and then continues to use the interplay between climate, economics, human behavior, the biome, the water cycle, and predicts concrete predictions. He must be one of those big brains that we should just shut up and listen to.
I'm fairly uneducated in this area, can you explains in what ways our own DNAs will be used to our detriment by theses drug companies? (if will leave 23andMe and the likes out of the question)
If the person who is trying to get you shut down targets the DNS provider, and they decide "Yup, let's shut them down," if they also happen to be your registrar, you could end up with your domain name confiscated or locked up.

Did you intend to give your DNA to GSK PLC too? The company that bought the DNA data from 23andme is GSK PLC, the tenth largest pharmaceutical company and #294 on the 2022 Fortune Global 500.

In 2012, GSK pleaded guilty to promotion of drugs for unapproved uses, failure to report safety data and kickbacks to physicians in the United States and agreed to pay a US$3 billion (£1.9bn) settlement. It was the largest health-care fraud case to date in the US and the largest settlement by a drug company.

The great thing about Annoy is that you can write the index to disk and thus do big data work on tiny workers at the edge. I've never really seen anything else do the same.
Right, and most tools that can be used for harm are regulated. Cars, knives, and guns included.
That's a minefield (so to speak), since the word grenade immediately derives from the word pomegranate (in French). And it seems that in most European languages that use it for either, the same word refers to both:

Portuguese is apparently the exception here in using it only for the weapon and not for the fruit. (My Portuguese is better than my Spanish, but I would have guessed, wrongly, that the fruit was "granada" in Portuguese, as it is in Spanish.)
I'll check PACER and read the actual ruling when I'm at work tomorrow, but yeah I'm interpreting "dismissed entirely" as "dismissed with prejudice".

> PPC offered tremendous promise in the early 1990s at the same time Motorola's evolution of M68k was lackluster at best

Apple entered into a trio with IBM & Motorola to develop the PowerPC in early 90's.

But at that time, there already was MIPS around.

Anyone know why this PowerPC project was started despite that? Especially if -per the article- the main goal was to move from CISC to RISC?

Even if MIPS cpus around at the time had performance/W issues (I've no idea yes or no), then improving technology for existing ISA would be easier than inventing entire new architecture, no? (+ all the software tools)

And there was also SPARC then.

So why invent new wheel, vs. improve MIPS (or SPARC) & use that? Not-invented-here syndrome? Licensing issues?

Getty has a much stronger case, given that warped versions of the Getty logo have shown up in a number of SD-generated images, so it's obvious that there was impermissible copying.

I'm not sure Stability will agree to a licensing fee, since part of the rationale for the last version of SD was to remove the infringing images from their training sets going forward.
We have taken the wrong path. The Internet we got was not the Internet we wanted. Today we have the Internet through a fog of advertising. It’s been turned into some hellish mix of Tee-Vee advertising and junk-mail pamphlets and of course the DM bots which are just the Internet’s version of robocallers selling insurance, replacement windows, and “government free money, apply now!”.

I think they mostly are -- they're all about reminders for upcoming appointments and vehicle checks (the dealership), confirmation of bill payment and notices of rate rises and holiday hours (the gym), and confirmations of tee time reservations or payments or something or other with the golf course.
Ok, let's say your dog is well behaved. I think we can agree that lots of other people who think that their dog is well behaved actually have a dog that is potentially dangerous. How am I supposed to know by looking at you and your dog which it is? So now I get to feel in danger so that you can feel slightly more at home.

How does that make sense?

This is an excellent example of 'ridiculous government overreach' that actually makes perfect sense and some people just don't like.

To inherit a small fortune and just not lose it is admirable. Yet this person is mocking Bezos for turning a quite small fortune into one of the largest on the planet. As if it doesn't count if he didn't start from scratch. Privilege does not erase accomplishment.

This seems to be an incremental improvement on old technologies that still burn CO2. They mention the solar concentrators, but that's sort of a nonstarter in the US for various (mainly economical) reasons. I mean 10% efficiency improvement is a useful thing, but this is hardly a "clean" form of power generation.
Now if Google/Gmail could do something about all the email spam between Gmail accounts.
They choose to do this, because they understand this relative openness and dedication to backwards compatibility is their major selling point for many well paying (institutional) customers.

Yes, they could choose to go the Apple way, but ... they would likely lose the customers mentioned above, and would likely still not be as good as Apple in Apple's game.
So we shouldn't research nutrition until we know more about it?

I’m fine with it. I gave them my DNA. I want diseases to be cured. They have a great repository of genetic material with which to save lives.
It's a great question. When I thought of my "ideal" future I always imagined a family in it. I didn't really know how or if would happen for me, but I was always open to the possibility and tried to nudge my life down paths that could make it happen.

I really had no idea how difficult it would be for me as an introvert / spectrum adjacent. I was never particularly reflective or insightful about my own needs for space, time and agency because these things had never been in short supply in my life before. I thought I had an idea of what it would be like - but I was a long way off. Partly I think this is because expectations of fathers today are very different to what I grew up with and what was modelled by my dad & stepdad.

On a day-to-day basis the "responsibility" side feels a lot like running a small business with your partner that provides childcare, education, housing, cleaning services, meals, entertainment etc. Your time is not your own, any commitment you make tends to be binding on your partner as well (because you are committing them to keeping "the business" running during that time) and vice-versa.

My partner is the kind of person who lives by what is filled in in the calendar, to her the "blank spaces" are waste, she will try to fill every day with appointments and commitments. For me, the "filled in" slots in my calendar are only for things I can't avoid and my life happens in the "blank spaces". That's been the biggest source of conflict in our relationship and it's required a lot of negotiation and adjustment for both of us. It surprised both of us how incompatible we were in this aspect because our time never came under such pressure before kids.

Why did we keep having more? There's a weird amnesia that can happen a couple of years after you have a baby, where if things are going ok, you sort of mentally blank out the difficulties...

I think some degree of struggle is part of the whole thing for almost everyone, for me there was just a lot of psychological adjustment that needed to happen to be a functional parent. Now I find it hard to even imagine "me without kids at this age" anymore. My life isn't what I expected it would be - it's more complicated - but I regret nothing. I feel really grateful the kids are part of my life.
difficulty that autistic people have with understanding social roles and social boundaries

In many cases those are understood just fine, but with the caveat that they're not optimal for every situation. There are times when it's appropriate to ignore those criteria (eg to prevent an injury or mitigate some immediate risk), and the people wringing their hands about what to do are unhelpful or even in the way.

More than once I've seen bystanders weirded out by an unpleasant situation stand there repeating 'someone should call 911' over and over without being able to complete the thought and do it themselves. I have enormous respect for the people who are sufficiently present to evaluate and situation and act in the moment, even if their actions are not always perfect; I have negative respect for the people who revert to infantile paralysis or try to dissuade others from acting int he absence of a recognizable authority figure.

The authentication stuff is all standard practice so no big change IMO. However the hard spam limit with Gmail in particular will get interesting. I predict this is going to create some insane headaches for indie Saas startups.

Gmail is the only inbox provider that doesn’t offer a real feedback loop (you don’t actually know if a given email address marked you as spam when sending to gmail users). The FBL in Google postmaster tools is anonymized and unreliable at best.

So essentially, you never know if a Gmail user marked you as spam so you can stop sending to them. Gmail will just by default mark your emails as spam for that user going forward, without telling you. This means your spam complaint level will inevitably rise over time without you knowing why and what email addresses are causing the issue.

Unless Gmail actually starts providing a real FBL like other inbox providers, the hard spam limit is going to snowball into a nightmare for even the most conservative and legitimate senders.
Wait till you discover Google Maps.
When I see comments like these, it's clear that the commenter is probably an individual contributor that has never seen how upper management or politics actually works. Regulatory capture is probably one of the biggest wealth generating techniques out there. It's very real.

If some rando anonymous posters could think it up, it doesn't require a CEO to play 5D chess to think it up. And many of us have witnessed these techniques being used by companies directly. Microsoft was famous for doing this sort of thing, and in a much more roundabout fashion, for instance with the SCO debacle.

It's standard business practice, not conspiracy 5D chess or whatever moniker you want to give it to be dismissive.

To be fair, Individual Retirement Accounts (aka IRAs) are available outside of your employer's purview, the thing that 401Ks have over IRAs occur when the employer matches some part of your contribution.

I continued to roll over my 401k's from various employers into an IRA when I changed jobs and now just have the IRA.

The investment choices are often sub-par, and while I can prove nothing, it sometimes "felt" like investment banks would shift losses from their clients into their funds to "spread them out across the retail investors."
