> But what if the memes and FUD are right? Should we really censor the paranoid conspiracy theorist, that said that you need a mask, when fauci was saying that washing hands is enough?

I'll answer this two different ways:

1. For ad supported platforms: Regardless of anyone's moral objections, ad supported platforms have neither the expertise nor desire to do anything otherwise. They are not scientific experts, they aren't any good at moderating nuanced speech, and they barely have the capability to moderate even the most obvious of situations on their platform.

2. In regards to Wikipedia, while they at least attempt to operate in a way that prioritizes information over profit incentives, it has always been a battleground of agendas by people of varying qualification hiding behind keyboards. Truth is just an inherently hard thing to determine, especially when it is a contemporary topic with a lot of change that requires expertise to understand. If it is hard for the world's best experts to come to an answer, it will be even harder others to do the same. Then the question is more about balance of quality -- do you want your platform to contain more information, even if some is wrong? Or do you want to maintain a higher standard, even if you kick out some people who might have been right? What if the wrong information could be dangerous to people's health? Do you bear some responsibility to ensure it is correct? I don't think there's a correct answer for every situation here, but there are absolutely good arguments for why you might not want to let people cry fire in a crowded theatre if the other attendees disagree.

> The general consensus was, that masks don't help a lot, that's why you don't need them. It wasn't "you really need a mask, and we'll mandate it soon, but we don't have enough for now".

What "general consensus" are you referring to? What the CDC said in March 2020 was that masks were recommended to be prioritized for healthcare workers who needed them the most. This was reasonable at the time, and still reasonable in hindsight.

I've considered that one as well, especially once I upgrade to 64GB of RAM. Aside from hardware-accelerated needs like streaming, gaming, browsing, etc, I could do most of my software experimentation inside VMs and keep my system clean(ish).

How has your experience been with Qubes?
I generally use it for boilerplate tasks like “here’s some code, write unit tests” or “here’s a JSON object, write a model class and parser function”.

Claude is significantly faster, so even if it requires a couple more prompt iterations than GPT4, I still get the result I need earlier than with GPT4.

GPT4 also recently developed this annoying tendency to only give you one or two examples of what you asked for, then say “you can write the rest on your own based on this template”. I can’t overstate how annoying this was.

Yep, git is essentially a blockchain. NFTs but also all cryptocurrency transactions are essentially git commits containing a digital signature from the owner (to prove ownership), what the owner is transacting, and the public key of the receiver. Sometimes it is a bit more complicated, there may be some instructions others than "I am A, send the X to B", but that's the idea.

The big difference between git and a blockchain like Bitcoin and Ethereum is how you do "pull requests". On git, usually, there is a designated central repository that is controlled by project maintainers, and when you submit a pull request, they check it, merge it to central, and others get it back from here.

With blockchains, there is no designated central repository, to merge a pull request, you have to win a sort of lottery, commonly by reversing a crypto hash (mining). The more invested you are into the system, the higher the odds. If you win, you show it to the the world, do the merge, and everyone pulls from you. By randomly selecting who does the pull among the most invested limits the chance of one bad actor ruining the system for everyone. In case of a conflict, the branch with the most commits wins, because that's the one with the most "lottery winners" and therefore the most likely to be the right one. To encourage others to merge that pull request, there is usually a reward for those who do (transaction fees).

Technically, it is very sound, just like git is, in a sense. The "proof-of-work" lottery is wasteful in electricity though, and of course, what you do with it is another matter. Just like git can be used for good (ex: linux) or for bad (ex: developing malware).

Lol. Fanboi.
That's not at all what I was referring to. It's not merely having channels as function arguments. Channels broadly have footguns around how closed and nil channels are treated and you can run into work contention/starvation issues accidentally, since they do have their own throughput limits. And wrapping them in your own handle types that's specific to the library's use case allows you to deal with those issues and swap out the implementation of the cross-goroutine bits without breaking the downstream API.
DP and HDMI cables are mostly passive with no identifying chip, so the only way to determine their bandwidth electronically is to try to bring up the link at that speed.
Autonomous car devs seem to lack a mindset of "things that never happened before happen all the time"

No matter how many miles your car drives and how much data it collects, it will encounter a novel situation on the road. Unless it has higher levels of context / overriding safeguards / etc, a data driven only ML approach is going to fail dangerously.

One favorite example is the year old video of Tesla FSD attempting to unprotected left turn thru an oncoming trolley car while the center display 3D rendered the trolley car in motion. Clearly there is no overriding safety guardrail model above the path finding model. If the car can 3d render the object it is aware it exists.

And so we go on being perpetually "five years away" from self driving.
The title makes it sound like the car wasn't detecting children as opposed to misclassifying children as adult humans.
It also makes it harder to roam between 6/5/2.4 networks.
What if the universe is anisotopic? Could the expansion of high density energy during the big bang had some non-uniformity resulting in "chunks" that eventually become matter resulting in possibly more rapid creation of this variety of SMBH? Or maybe such non-uniformity doesn't require anisotropy?

It is reasonable to be concerned about what Google may do in the future. They have too much power. All the tech giants do.

However, I can only comment on what Google is actually proposing. In the future, Google could do anything, regardless of whether or not this Android API exists.
It's funny, because a similar story played out between britain and the US with machine tool technology.

The british were the first to go through the industrial revolution and had the best, most precise machine tool technology. They banned export of this technology to the USA. Well, turns out you can bootstrap precision, moving from less precise to more precise machine tools if you're careful manage your errors well.

Soon enough, the USA had caught up and then pulled ahead in machine tool technology.

I'd think the benefit of using glass, especially in the context of food and drink, would be lessening the amount of nano plastic your body digests.

Besides it's not hard to tip the carbon emission in favor of glass if the externalities of plastic (and fuel) were appropriately priced and not massively subsidized.

Quote from Silicon Valley sitcom. Probably intended as a response to a different post, not as a top-level post.
Not all universities around the world do that. Not all destinations are anywhere close to a university.

Hotels that offer a full kitchen, and not just a kitchenette are rare and severely limit your options. I visited Surprise, Arizona, earlier this year. There is a single option with a full kitchen: a Residence Inn. But the only options are a studio or a 1-bedroom. Hope you're not traveling with kids. It does come with a fold-out couch. Yay? The next closest option is another Residence Inn 12 kilometers away...but that one doesn't even have a fold-out couch so for more than 2 people you need to rent 2 rooms. I can't even find an extended stay place in the greater Phoenix area that offers two bedrooms.

Not to mention Residence Inn has 0 hotels in Asia. I live in Asia and apartment-style lodging from large hotel chains is not common. I don't think your experience in America generalises to the rest of the world very well.
>WPA3 uses HMAC-SHA256 for key derivation, whereas WPA2 uses HMAC-SHA1. NIST and other cryptography agencies have recommended against the use of SHA1 in cryptographic systems due to known weaknesses.

AFAIK SHA1 is only broken with respect to preimage/collision attacks. For generating random bits it's still perfectly fine. In other words, sha1 is broken, but not in ways that matter for its use in WPA2.
> Ah yes, CLAs are not a real open source, which is why they're required by uhh FSF.

The last time I saw a FSF CLA, it was part of a larger agreement that also imposed obligations on the FSF.

In the long run, there may be risks to the FSF holding so many copyrights. But I don't think it clarifies matters to treat the FSF's CLAs the same as ones used by a "open core" VC funded startup.

I said "until a few years ago", and AFAIK this was not done by the RPi folks themselves, but by the community. And that's perfectly okay, it's not their market, which is my whole point.

Recording music.

I have recently started recording Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto no. 2 using some DAW and orchestral instruments from my digital piano. It is not easy to make sound good, and a major undertaking since even the first part is 10 minutes long. But it is a fascinating process to me. I hope it turns out ok.
> The "but people are statistically worse" argument is a horrible, thoughtless "gotcha"

It's also laughably unproven, unless it was to be scaled up, exposed to the full range of driving conditions, and measured for a long time.
> At the registrar level: the .tk registrar was (in)famous for injecting both ads and random JS into websites that were hosted on domains registered against it.

I did a google search for domain hijacking, ad injection, javascript and while it does look like .tk domains had/have this issue it doesn't necessarily point to the registrar. After all they are offering free domain registration which is going to get abused. Its also not surprising when their own website doesn't use HTTPS, however their mission statement isn't about security on the Internet.

> The goal is always more (and more precise) data points. Being able to run JS on the same origin as the request is more valuable than just the rough GeoIP data the ISP already has.

But isn't this what Google, Bing, Amazon, Alibaba, already do when they fingerprint your device? They can't use just an IP addresses due to NAT so they collect unique characteristics to your specific device. My question was more so if advertisers can already get down to the device level when you visit their site, what is the ISP's motivation if their data won't be as unique or specific? or maybe a better question is what organizations would be buying the "less" specific data that an ISP could get from your session data?
A lot of Bird Guides are done by artists (not photographs). Roger Torry Peterson/ Sibley.

I like them, as there is a fair amount of "variation" in birds (age/season) so the guides with photos sometimes are too exact, and they can't highlight all variations. David Sibley's are what I keep in my bag. (He has a birding basics guide thats pretty good too)

I see. Could it work in protected mode? The OSDev wiki page I linked uses that approach to write to video memory.

> Assuming that you are in protected mode and not using the BIOS to write text to screen, you will have write directly to "video" memory.

I have pretty superficial knowledge about OS development so I should probably refrain from speculating further.
You probably can't get sued for deadnaming either, but it'll piss people off so why try it?
I think even in a free speech, as an owner of the platform, you have to draw the line somewhere. I think the good line is: nothing illegal or incitement of violence. I think that's petty much where Elon stands. Now, X's CEO clearly has other ideas, so we will see a bifurcation periodically. I personally think that it's best to police "the tone", but leave the topics completely open.

SpaceX Eyes $15 Billion in Sales Next Year on Starlink Strength

By Edward Ludlow and Gillian Tan November 6, 2023 at 10:39 PM GMT+1

SpaceX is on track to book revenues of about $9 billion this year across its rocket launch and Starlink businesses, according to people familiar with the matter, with sales projected to rise to around $15 billion in 2024.

Sales for Starlink, in particular, are expected to outpace and exceed the launch business next year as the product becomes available in more regions around the world, according to the people, who asked not to be identified as the information is private. Starlink will then represent the majority of SpaceX revenue, the people said.

The figures represent a rare look into the finances of the Elon Musk-led company, which sells commercial space on its reusable rockets as well as internet beamed down from a constellation of satellites. It also has deals with NASA to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station and run resupply missions. A tender offer at SpaceX earlier this year valued the company at about $150 billion, Bloomberg previously reported.

SpaceX is on track to register earnings, excluding some items, of more than $3 billion, some of the people said. The Information previously reported on the projected operating profits.

Representatives for the company, formally Space Exploration Technologies Corp., did not respond to requests for comment.

Starlink offers high speed internet connection for a monthly fee and a one-time charge for the ground receiver hardware needed to connect to its satellite constellation. Musk previously said that spinning off Starlink in a public listing could be possible as its cash flows become more predictable. The company’s pledged billions of dollars to build out the constellation.

Musk has said there will be a cap to how much money the launch business will make, while Starlink could eventually reach revenues of $30 billion a year.
While financial details have been sparse for the closely held company, Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX’s president and chief operating officer, said earlier this year that it had already achieved a cash flow positive quarter and would make money this year. Last week, Musk posted on the X social media platform that Starlink had reached cash flow breakeven.

Looks almost exclusively male to me.
I, for one, am glad that licenses exist that aren't written in English exclusively.

Most of the world aren't native English speakers and most native English speakers live in a particularly British-derived system of law. Most open source licenses are full of assumptions that the legal system they're implied in are either modeled after the American system or derived from Common Law. Translations exist, but they're not more than that.

The EUPL was explicitly designed to comply with EU trademark and copyright law, which differs from American copyright law in various ways. It also fixed the "you can read the license in your own language but if you want to use those freedoms you'd better learn English because that's the version that counts" problem.

One big limitation to the EUPL is that it only covers European languages (as it was designed for the EU).

I can't say I feel too bad about needing to pick the English license from an alphabetically sorted list. There aren't any officially valid translations of AGPL, nor for Apache, nor for MIT. I don't think many programmers will run into problems using English, as programming is often very English oriented, but for the common people, that's different. A rural farmer with little to no access to higher education should know that he has the right to change the software on the embedded equipment he bought, even if he doesn't speak a word of English. He won't be altering the software, but perhaps he knows someone who could, and knowledge about possibilities can be the start of change.

After all, what freedoms does free software provide if it's only free to the minority of English readers?
The Hyprland guy argues like a free speech absolutist while Drew wants him to join the neo-religious cult of perpetual rage and victim-hood.

Genocide is a tactic. Like nuking, flooding, fire bombing cities. Or beheading people. Or setting them afire. Or punishing entire tribes/clans for the crimes of one individual.

Universal morality does not exist. Whether something is "right" or "wrong" depends on the context in which it is used.
In the context of making a statement to the general public, or publishing a journal article? Audience matters, because literacy and messaging makes a difference in how people interpret messages and take action.

Statements that are actually factual are some of the strongest supporting evidence for false conspiracy theories, when given to audiences that don't fully understand the context of the situation. As a basic example, many people misinterpreted things like "you can still get COVID if you wear a mask or vaccinate" as being equivalent to "masks and vaccines don't work", because they're not intimately familiar with how viruses spread and/or how disease impact may vary in outcome. Most people unfamiliar with a topic will have a more general, black-and-white approximate understanding of something, and this is no different for public health topics.

Whether or not a statement should be frowned upon or not really depends not just on the factuality, but also a lot on the context and what it might suggest to the audience.

If someone sees someone else smoking a cigarette in a crowded theater, yells "fire!", and then people die in a stampede to the exits, the statement should be frowned upon, regardless of the fact that it was factual. "Being right" is not always enough.
