Indeed, that(*) is what I was implying. Therefore, my initial question was, "what is it that you mean by 'intelligence' when you say that there is no such thing as 'artificial intelligence'?”

I had thought the fact that this is what I meant, would have been clear in my initial reply. I didn’t expect this conversation to go in the direction of clarifying that.

As a millennial, I'm pretty sure I've only seen those problems get worse; I wonder if it feels like there is no hope because there is in fact no hope.
While transformer-based AI is very powerful, and its potential uses in the business world nearly limitless, the issue of hallucination is holding back adoption. Here, Simon Hughes of Vectara introduces an open-source model, HEM, that can automatically detect hallucinations with fairly low latency.

> ensuring corporate users of matrix contribute back upstream

My understanding is that they are doing the opposite: by making contributors sign a CLA, they are free to sell corporate users their own private licenses, so those corporations can each keep a proprietary fork of Element's AGPL source.
Blinded by the Light DOM
He approves of developers selling GPL exceptions. He doesn't approve of buying GPL exceptions*. It's a subtle point.

(The natural corollary to this is that if the Element/Matrix folks—or anyone—were to ask you for a CLA excepting them from the project's own open source license, then you could/should feel comfortable kindly requiring them to pay you for it—a response which should be the default in the open source world, although it unfortunately is not.)

Both Chez and Racket allow you to compile new code at runtime.
I'm not sure I understand this. Wouldn't developers who need code-level assistance (i.e. have more than simple "feedback") submit a Technical Support Incident (https://developer.apple.com/support/technical/)?
In the future post-fossil fuel, solar powered age, that was going to happen anyway.

This is a long term problem Europe faces: with solar projected to dominate world energy supply (if historical experience rates continue), Europe will be an energy ghetto. Energy intensive industry will move elsewhere. Going nuclear cannot save them, since their nuclear will be competing against world best case solar in sunnier places.
>Young people have been robbed of public space

What do you mean "robbed of public space"? What public space was taken away? The only public space which seems inaccessible to me that used to be is: parks and sidewalks, both of which have become open air drug markets/tent cities. The city where I live has no parks I am comfortable taking my children to, and we actively avoid walking on the sidewalks because it's dangerous.
Right so weapons of war, air raids and bombs, the threat of death is not a big deal but if the US moved nukes to taiwan then China will go into hysteria?

If there was a Chinese carrier off the coast of california (but no nuclear weapons) you're saying that's not a big deal?

Of course it's a big deal. It's provocative either way. You're argument is like saying threatening someone with a knife to their throat is not as big of a deal as threatening someone with a gun to their throat.

Btw, for the cuban missile crisis, the US already had weapons pointing at Russia from adjacent countries long before Russia made a move.
Bingo! You will not get fired unless you literally are adding negative value. If you're doing work that adds value you'll be around until the next rif at least
I am in no way qualified to read/interpret this study, however the thought of knowing one's natural lifespan is quite scary, but also quite advantageous.

You could plan exactly what you need for retirement. You could make risky bets knowing you may never face those consequences, and your spouse/children/charity could reap any benefits. You could effectively remove yourself from societal norms at a certain point.
I can dig deeper behind my face. It was a Volvo 850. After the incident the brake lights kept on. I had to repair the car twice. The first responding mechanic had a single sensor that sort of fitted. A few days later I had my regular mechanic replace it with the stock double sensor. IIRC this model has one sensor for the brake lights and one for the cruise control.

> I think full braking should be part of driver training

I thought it was. I distinctly remember my Dad telling me to slam on the brakes while teaching me to drive. I pushed them hard, but nothing crazy. He said to get up to speed and kick the pedal through the floor and hold it there.

Older car, full lockup and skid for a good distance. We did that more than once.

Ok, you first. And don't be shocked when people (especially the lower classes) get upset when your efforts to ban plastics lead to meat and produce spoiling much faster and/or costing much more, or lead to shipping costs on common goods increasing significantly, etc.

I solved that problem by getting a 10 hour per week job at a remote batch submittal station. It was in a quiet corner of campus, so I mostly had a card reader and line printer to myself :)

Have you tried searching for Stripe in here (box at the bottom of the page).
> Kinda? Historically there were indeed concerns about reimplementation and copyright.

Free software projects should welcome multiple implementations and interoperability, because these are the mother's milk of free software. It's frankly incoherent, given values of free software, that a reimplementation of, for example, Unix coreutils (GNU) would find fault with a reimplementation of itself (uutils).

Notwithstanding how philosophically incoherent it is, a desire, now that Linux and free software have some market power, to be a bully back, to grasp for monopoly power, to play AT&T, is really distasteful. What's exciting about free software is not the artifact, Linux or coreutils or sudo, but that anyone can create new and interesting alternatives. That users get to make choices about which implementation to use. The existence of FreeBSD does not make Linux worse. It makes it better! The "solution" to an MIT licensed coreutils is a GNU licensed fork which is 10x better. Instead, we get complaints which amount to a kind of free software entitlement, an endless pissing and moaning about how other people won't do new things your way.

This is a major problem in the way that most normies view the GNU and the GPL. In the past, I may not have chosen the GPL for my own projects, but I'd be pleased to contribute to a GPL project. Now, I'd have a hard contributing to a GPL project, because of just how toxic this attitude (no other license matters but ours) is.
By replacing it with something else, duh.

Linux kernel isn't the first nor the last UNIX clone.
Pretty sure Macrodroid or Tasker can do this. In Macrodroid, I can set brightness to an integer 0-100 for brightness percentage.

Plus, on Pixels at least, there is a setting for Extra Dim (in accessibility settings) which can also probably be set via Macrodroid/Tasker. May need the ADB hack to allow system setting changes though.
Never understood why you wouldn't want it clean. There's no benefit whatsoever to it being messy and it's a liability for a lot of reasons, whereas the clean version is free and easy and makes everything you do that interacts with git history simpler.

> This makes it clear that they intent to ship under some alternative license, for a fee

They already did, as the Apache License allows them to.
There was a previous post explaining the problem. Tldr: buy stolen card credentials, cash out into goods with resell value (eg electrics), ship those to countries with low enforcement and resell.

Now the shipping part is problematic, as it can be automatically flagged, is traceable. So goods are first shipped to residential addresses that don’t raise fraud alarm, then reshipped to destination country

I really like the DE0-CV in particular for having the 7 segment displays and accessible buttons and switches. When I was first getting started in FPGA stuff, I spent a lot of time just getting basic circuits to work, and you need some physical IO to get any feedback that your stuff works. It gives you a lot of things to learn on before you start worrying about VGA output or whatever (but does have a lot of interesting stuff on board for when you do want to mess around with that stuff!)
I agree with you that car dependency is not the only problem that young people are facing. But it definitely exacerbates the other problems they’re facing.

Financial insecurity, and needing to spend 30 mins and 2 gallons of gas just to see a friend, means that it is prohibitively expensive and hard to see people.

Community has become fractured in many ways, like what’s specifically referenced in the article, but the requirement to drive just to meet up with anyone just compounds the issue further.

I had this same problem when I lived in the US as a young millennial. You could never just accidentally run into your friends, you all had to plan and commit to a whole drive just to see each other.

I moved to Europe, and now I can just ride my bike over to a friends place in 10 mins, or take an approximately free tram/bus. I think this would greatly help those in the US as well
> However, the only way that Element can retain the right to provide alternative licenses to proprietary forks is if it has the right to do so, which means requiring a CLA

You wouldn't need a CLA if you didn't want to reserve the exclusive right to move from an open source model to an open core model. You wouldn't need a CLA if you didn't want the privilege to switch away from an open source licence at will.

Yes, a CLA is the only solution to retaining the right to un-open-source the project. The problem is that you'd want to retain this right in the first place.

>Car dependent cities.

This doesn't make sense to me.

Generations previous were equally car dependent but got by. The current generations are choosing to not go anywhere because they believe they can get the experience by phone. I think the assumption that "if they could get there, they would" is incorrect; they don't want to.
I've long wondered why we haven't had a federal level (or even some state level) bans on social media for minors at this point? It seems like the effects are well established, more widespread than any drug has ever been and probably more severe.

My kids aren't allowed to use social media and we are "the mean parents" now because of it since "everybody else's parents let them." Some of these kids were on Instagram in 4th grade. It took years of explaining what we were protecting them from before they started to really get it, seeing their friends at school who's entire life is on a 4 inch screen.

They understand now, but the pressure is very real.

Housing was a lot denser in cities back then. Lots of low rise appartenant buildings, tall skinny houses built right next to each other, and trams running on the major boulevards. Appently modern fire codes killed those building designs though? And lobbyists killed the trams.

>The Millennials were largely spared from the carnage because all but the last few years of them were beyond puberty when the phone-based childhood swept in.

Every generation thinks its suffering is unique and worse than those before it. Read Douglas Coupland's early 90s novels (Generation X and Microserfs) to see how Gen X fared in contrast to their parents. Watch Eden of the East to see how middle-Millenials struggled with the rising concept of the NEET (in Japan, the US, and western Europe alike) as our Gen X and Baby Boomer parents couldn't understand the difference in economic and life circumstances between being 23 in 1980 and being 23 in 2008.

Smartphones and social media are accelerating the decline, but there's evidence collected over the past ~60 years that points to a trend of diminishing quality of life. A great non-fiction economics-oriented book on the US version of this is The Rise and Fall of American Growth: The U.S. Standard of Living since the Civil War by Robert Gordon.

Can you give some examples of this pre 1950s los angeles that you wish you lived in?

I'm trying to find photos or accounts, but most of them seem to be people talking about or showing off how happy they are about having their own cars.

Los Angeles has busses that go absolutely everywhere, and even has a subway system, and yet people happily pay tens of thousands of dollars to own their own car so that they can go wherever they want.

I've never heard of somebody intentionally selling their car to take public transportation instead, certainly not in an American city. People take public transportation because they can't afford a car.

This is a case where I personally disagree with RMS. Exceptions effectively nullify copyleft.

Even so, I appreciate what his position adds to this discussion.
I think this is akin to asking "why study computer science when you can just think it up yourself". The answer being you won't even have anywhere to start and you certainly will write bad software if someone did give you a computer to type away on. The field of computer science is much younger and smaller than philosophy.

Startup idea: API to verify media (real vs. AI-generated)
With the surge of AI-generated content we are currently witnessing, and recent misuses of this technology to influence people and spread misinformation, I think it would be interesting to build an API-based solution to verify if online media (pictures, videos) is real or AI-generated. This would ideally become the reference in terms of trustworthiness, and every media company would double-check the content before using it online. Anyone building this / any thoughts?
As the person who has probably influenced Homebrew's policy on this the most: I'm very pleased to read this, thanks for saying it!

I was also reading this link today to think more about how Homebrew can handle this stuff better.

To me the main differentiation is "is the package for an application or a library?". If it's a library: it's a trickier balance. If it's an application: vendoring the e.g. NPM/RubyGems modules is most likely to create the best, most useful experience for the user, upstream creator and Homebrew maintainers.
Anyone who uses 3D printers would need to know what PET is, not to mention half a dozen other plastics. ;-)

PLA is usually the go-to; it's ideal in nearly every respect except cost, especially its modern formulations. But PETG is still often used for its heat resistance, Polycarbonate is great for physical strength, ASA is lovely for outdoors work, ABS is still the cheapest option... and some people are crazy enough to print Nylon.
I actually hate squash merge because of all the noise it adds. Sure, the commit graph looks nicer, but it come with a terrible loss of information when doing git blame.

I'm a big proponent of rebase and squash if it helps to make a commit more coherent, but we use squash merges by default in the current project I'm working on, and I die a little bit each time I try to understand what changes were related to a line when tracking down a bug.
Amusingly, a loadcell is in fact a very precise measurement of how far something has travelled in response to a load. More specifically, a resistor changes value very slightly as it is compressed or expanded. If you laminate a resistor to a strip of metal, you can use that change in resistance to measure the deflection, and then derive the force that drove that deflection. In principal you can get the same information with a lever attached to the same strip connected to a potentiometer; indeed, lever scales based on amplifying the deflection like that used to be universally used.

Source: I was a loadcell technician in a previous life.
The silly/unfortunate part is that most people can’t threshold brake in emergency situations.

It’s like saying “Doing the perfect thing every time is best”. Which is true but not useful.

And they teach you about progressive braking in the first hour of learning to ride. Then they keep repeating it all the time. Every rider on the road knows that they should do this. It’s the execution that is hard.
It's for humans. You can more easily cycle to a specific point. I find linear history easier to comprehend. But it's not like a game ender. People will do whatever they will.

I find it easier to run git binary search with it like this too.
The base monomers and polymers of PET may not themselves be toxic, but there are plasticizer chemicals added to them to adjust the characteristics that can have biological impacts. Additionally, once the PET starts to break into microplastics, it can attract and accumulate other chemicals that are actually toxic.

Other plastics can be directly toxic, such as styrenes.
Jon Haidt is a conservative now?? good lord, if that is what you think you must be so far left that anybody to the right of Stalin is a Republican. Jon Haidt is about as even-tempered and desiring of reconciliation as anybody out there. We could all stand to be a little more like him.

Please, talk to the people in your lives about politics, or the polarization will only continue to intensify. Common ground is found through dialog, not through cutting everyone in your life out because they fall to one side or another of an arbitrary ideological goalpost that you've decided is the critical opinion everyone needs to agree with in order to be blessed with your presence.

I say this because Jon Haidt started this website, among other things:

I would think that more intelligent packet scheduling (like fair queuing) is also playing a significant role these days, with routers on the path being empowered to drop packets from one flow in order to service another.
