Why do we fail to live up to our own personal standards? Is it a surprise that a large group of people fails to do what even the best person fails to do? You get all kinds of people in a religious group: the legalists, the people who think they believe but actually have a higher priority, the immature people, and the mature self-givers. Legalism has inherent contradictions that can easily end up treating people poorly. The people who have a higher priority that than the values of the group are likely to act outside the values of the group, which is especially noticeable if they are in leadership. The immature people want to do the right thing, but fear, emotional issues, etc. exert a stronger pull.

I don't think the purpose of religion is to "align yourself to the highest aspirations", though, but rather to make sense of our place in the world and how to rightly live within it. They have rather different views of this, of course. Traditional Christianity says our place in the world is as children of God who are intended to be the image of God in the world and shepherd it with God's self-giving love. (Getting saved to go to heaven is a relatively new simplification.) Buddhism, in contrast, observes that all composed things are impermanent, so nothing is actually real and forming attachments to things causes pain. The ethics flow out of the views of our relationship within/to the world.
International police facial recognition system
"The Prüm II proposal also raises concerns over the opportunities it may offer for the expansion of facial recognition deployments in public spaces. While the proposal does not mandate the deployment of facial recognition technology in public, interconnecting police databases of facial images lays the foundations for future abilities to feed live CCTV into those databases, creating the possibility of pervasive, pan-European biometric surveillance on a mass scale. Given this, we do not believe that the system as proposed, nor the possibilities that it lays the groundwork for, are necessary, proportionate or desirable in a democratic society."

I'd staunchly disagree. Merges make sense when you develop with the patchset git style. i.e.

1. Write a bunch of code and just scratch it out, stashing in your `FEATURE` branch until the feature is done.

2. Rebase that `FEATURE` branch into sane commits that each accomplish an atomic substep in the implementation of your feature. Each discrete commit/change should build and pass tests.

3. Open your code for review, either via a PR or by submitting the patchset to a mailing list.

4. Implement requested changes as a `FEATURE-v2` (or `FEATURE-vX`) branch.

5. Rebase your `FEATURE-v2`/`FEATURE-vX` branch to clean up your changes and get them to roughly line up with your "final" commits from your previous `FEATURE` branch.

6. Submit your new patchset revision to the mailing list in reply to your last patchset revision. Or if you are using pull requests, change the merging branch from `FEATURE` to `FEATURE-v2`.

Then cycle back to step 4-6, rinse repeat until everyone is happy. Then you merge in the final `FEATURE-vX` branch.

This leaves you with a history where each individual commit is a useful, descriptive, and fully functional change to the codebase but also with a merge for the full feature at the top. That's important because git tooling actually can iterate over all commits or over only top level commits without traversing into merges.

Then it's way easier to identify which feature introduced the issue in question and you can easily peek into the feature's individual commits to understand each discrete change and exactly what the intent was.
I think you’re ignoring things like tracking through share buttons and tracking pixels on third-party sites, which make it impossible for people to block FB’s spying except through extraordinary technical means, and also that Meta has had automatic face and identity detection for photos for a long time.

Agreed: generally speaking, diving into any discussion anecdote-first is unhelpful and should be avoided.

It's a pity that some people will take a collection of anecdotes as data and treat a lack of countering anecdotes as conclusive proof.
I started by reading Michael LaFargue version, and it is pretty good delivering a basic understanding of the text. I can understand acient Chinese text pretty well, and the original, somehow still feels different from all these translations, but I guess this does not matter that much to a taoist.
It's odd that you describe Catholicism as liberal, when so many of its characteristics are heavily rooted in tradition.

It's really only Pope Francis from this past decade who stopped shunning homosexuality and describing it as an illness (even if he upholds the church's teachings that same-sex marriage is an abomination), expressed openness to ordaining married men as priests, and suggested forgiveness for divorcees who have since remarried, but even he has his limits.

He still views gender transition as a sin, upholds the Catholic Church's longstanding opposition to birth control (the pill, condoms) in favor of abstinence, and opposes abortion.

And there are many Catholics in the US who do not view him as their pope, preferring Benedict XVI and especially John Paul II. There are cardinals in the US who have advocated for denying the current US president communion due to his support for abortion (he claims that he does not personally support abortion due to his faith, but would not impose his belief system on others).

Yes, Catholicism might not be as unyielding as Christian evangelism or fundamentalism. But it's by no means the most accepting of faiths.

Journalists aren't sent abroad as much anymore.

After 2008, most news bureaus shut down their foreign offices [0], and whoever is left tends to stay within a bubble around the main bureau in that country, while sourcing news from freelancers.

In addition, when you can't see or understand social media in another language and on an entirely different ecosystem of platforms, you end up getting a warped view of the world.

Every school that can afford it basically has to, by law. They are there for all the kids on “Individual Education Plans”, or IEPs. The bar to expel a kid from regular classes in school was raised super high, so the schools now have to spend a lot of resources on developing and administering IEPs for kids that are unable to function well in a regular classroom.

Branching and contextual surveying is a little different than linear questions in a form even though both might be presented in a form.

The plumbing of a survey engine could provide some pieces for presenting and maybe storing questions and answers but the order of presentation might be the layer to build.

Dynamic questions can be expressed in many ways, whether it’s literally specified, or more generally specified. If they’re more generally specified, relevancy can be an issue.

What would a chat interface be different in your mind? A chat interface face alone might be able to connect to the api of a paid surveying tool that could handle your dynamic question queueing needs.

Being neutral could also mean striving to make decisions based on independent standards, as opposed to a bias toward one side. For example, a judge who bases decisions on evidence and the law is typically considered neutral -- even when they rule guilty.

Well first if tracking and selling data on non-registered users really is that trivial then the issue isn't Facebook it's every website that could be doing this.

Second more importantly privacy seems to be a watchword for tech people. Maybe people claim to care about the sort of privacy you are talking about when asked but their actions speak different. People use Facebook, google maps, leave location data on on their phones. Obviously people don't value privacy as much as they do having access to certain tech. Sad but that's the world, privacy seems to be a thing of the past.

We can all opt out by not using these services. To the extent that we don't there must be some extent to which we accept and consent to this tracking.

I care because I'm afraid of my government and want to keep myself secure from them. I also realize that's not the average person. My preference for privacy means not using Facebook it doesn't mean I get to control how Facebook does business or how people choose to use it.

My view is that ultimately people have to be responsible for the tech that they use and how they use it. We can't just pass along that responsibility to government or business.
If a copy of someone's work is used to create a product (in this case, to train the GenAI), then it makes sense for the creator to receive some form of credit.

Your car/horse example makes no sense in this context because the existence of cars is not predicated on the existence of horses. On the other hand, GenAI is not possible without the art that forms the training data.
The European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO) operates facilities in Chile because it offers good weather, good seeing, and it is in the Southern Hemisphere.

None of the ESO’s instruments are in Europe. They’re all in Chile. It would make no sense to place an instrument for Southern Hemisphere observation in Europe.

However, administration is out of Germany, and the captured data is processed by researchers mostly in Europe.

There are also many amateur remote hosting facilities for telescopes in Chile. It really has great atmospheric conditions. If my telescope is in one of these facilities, is it no longer my telescope?

Yeah, that port 7000 service is AirPlay protocol and they are sending photos and videos to an ATV with it.

It would be nice if an LLM could port pyatv to C# for me as I don't really know python at all.

Having those instances 10-15x slower would make it so she literally can't do her job.

The hotspot worked just fine in thunderstorms and was significantly faster. I even had our router set up to automatically bump over to the hotspot for the rare occasions the Starlink went down.

> As someone who was raised in religious communities, that "higher aspirations" is only the position "in principle" in reality working with people in the religious community was just scams and moral self justification of despicable behavior hidden behind soft language and terrible behavior. So much contention, so much gossip, so much backbiting behavior and hidden evils against children so that communities wouldn't "lose face". The worst behaviors, the least faith, the most fear, all hidden by duplicity and a weekly practice of virtue signaling. This is not isolated, my parents were involved in the church in many states and internationally, it was everywhere.

Hmm. That's not inaccurate, though it's too pessimistic to be constructive.

Certain Americans are convinced that living in a dense urban environment is a necessary way to live, and they're quite vocal about increasing population density. As it happens, many people who live in those cities, particularly the locals, disagree. But see, that's the thing: the locals are content with the current state. In my own experience, the main energy for change in the majority of non-US cities comes from transplants.

Everyone thinks they're the protagonist in their story. A simple solution for more space is to move to a small town, fill a niche, and build community, yet many people aren't willing to make that sacrifice, particularly if your family has deep roots in a certain region.
That would violate the conservation of energy. Put simply: The energy that is released from those CH3 complexes has to be put back into them to make them be CH3 complexes again. Otherwise you could, for example, heat your house by burning the same bit of fuel over and over again (using some of the energy released by the combustion to recapture the carbon and rebind it to the hydrogen molecules and leaving the rest as heat to enjoy all through the winter). Alternately, you could generate a tremendous amount of electricity by the same method.

Sadly, thermodynamics says, "No."

I am using this, it's working well for me. Here are a few notes after using it for a while (I had a couple of surprises / nits):

1. The operator will request letsencrypt certificates and store them in a secret. In my specific case I was redeploying the underlying host a lot using CI and hit letsencrypt rate limits. Before looking into it, I guess I'd expected tailscale to manage the certs on their end. On reflection how it actually works is better (they don't get private key) but it caught me out.

2. Doesn't seem to pick up ingress changes very cleanly, tend to have to kick the tailscale pod spawned by the operator to get things working after a change. Only really a problem during the "fiddling" phase of setting stuff up.

3. It's not quite a "production" thing, pod images are like tailscale:unstable, it would be nice if there was a helm chart and proper versioning etc (totally fair, it's marked as beta).

4. Sometimes I want tailscale on an underlying host _and_ the operator, if you are the kind of person who gives an instance the same name as the service it is a little annoying. For example, suppose you have a host called rancher.my.fqdn it will come up in tailscale as rancher.foo-bar.ts.net and your ingress has to be rancher-1.foo-bar.ts.net. I guess I just have to not do that (e.g. give the host a different name).
I've been working on a similar project but several layers of abstraction higher. Instead of using microcontroller level DSP I'm using Linux running a real-time kernel on a nuc type device and using the DAW, reaper, as the primary mixer component. IO is done via USB soundcards; right now I'm using a tascam 2x2 interface but plan to expand to a 16x8 interface soon. I'm eventually targeting around 2 milliseconds of latency, but for now I'd be happy with around 10 (need to tinker more with real-time priorities and pipewire configs).

I'm mostly using it as a bass rig for now, feeding either my headphones or speakers with an SVT sim with IR cabinet sims or straight out of the SVT sim out to a QSC power amp and a 2x10 cab. When I get my studio space finished I'll hopefully use it as a mixer/ recorder for band practice.

Yeah actually.

It reads very tongue in cheek to me because I have gone on those types of rants in the past. And I've known a number of other people who hold similar stances and they also do the same thing.

Like I've literally gone on a "if you do X you are doing it wrong" rant about git verbatim when trying to explain patchset etiquette in the past. It's not trying to say "you are always wrong for doing it this way", it's just way too long winded and difficult to explain your point about should be versus shouldn't be done in your view while being nuanced and pointing out that they are sometimes okay. You just say "if you are doing X you are wrong" and hope the reader picks up on the subtext that you are just making a point and not trying to be authoritative. It's a lot easier to do in person but alas.

I’ve considered whether the human concept of religion is possibly rooted in debates as to whether other things are out there. Because once you’ve had that conscious thought I think it’s a short hop to making up stories about who/what it is that could be living out there. Time passes and it becomes indoctrination for many, and on the mind for most at times of their life even if just out of curiosity.

Definitely not on a hill over this but it’s just been a thought I’ve wrestled with at some point. I’m sure it’s not even original at all.
> I also blame a lack of English and Mandarin fluency in China and US respectively for causing this issue. The average Chinese or American doesn't get a chance to see life on the other side, so people end up building orientalized images.

I doubt the lack of English and Mandarin fluency is a big factor here. The CCP made a deliberate choice to isolate China from the outside world as much as possible.
