I wouldn't hold up GrapheneOS as a good example of more freedom compared to Apple or Google tbh.

Their device depreciation policy is literally just Google, they refuse to support anything that isn't a Pixel (because of the security chip, although as I understand it, there's other manufacturers who could probably work as well - Pixel is simply chosen because Google promised to open up the microcode on the security chip, which hasn't happened yet) and their stance on user privacy is so extreme that it gets in the way of user freedom - they literally offer their own SafetyNet implementation and are aggressively against rooting whilst refusing to understand why people root to begin with (the most common reasons is by far hosts based adblocking and their recommendation, VPN based adblocking, gets in the way of a normal day-to-day VPN or something like Tailscale).

(Relatedly - the toxicity problems of their community against criticism of GOS or even being interested in non-GrapheneOS privacy projects are well known at this point and with a smaller community, you're bound to run into something that isn't answered on the general internet at some point. This makes that component somewhat unavoidable. I've never seen a non-corporate, non-FSF run community be such extreme NIH types.)

For freedom, I'd moreso point towards projects like LineageOS.
Strong agree; I wish companies worked harder to support and develop managers. They're crucial to team success--and I would even argue to the individual development of the people they manage.

The probability of humanity continuing to exist forever may be 0. But I hope we last more than a few more decades or centuries. And when we are gone, it would be great if could make sure that our descendants carry forth the stuff we (when it happens) consider the most valuable aspects of humanity.

Whether that's the ability to create and appreciate art, beauty or the ability to experience emotions such as love and purpose, or maybe some abstraction, generalization or expansion of these that we may not comprehend.
Nah that wouldn't be fair, the code I serve my users initially has comments too and the arguments that people bring to criticize minification is that it adds complexity if you want to read the code in the browser. The comments should stay

I don't want YouTube, I want the content. YouTube has the content it has because it's public.

Netflix et al are simple models: they pay upstream providers like Hollywood studios for works and they charge viewers to access them. It is a private space; it's like showing a film in a cinema. They get to charge access, but they also have to pay for the films.

YouTube doesn't pay upstream providers anything, nor do they produce anything (of worth) themselves. They get their content for free because they are a public space. It's like a town square: they get performances for free, but they don't get to charge access.

Except they do want to charge access. In other words, they want to have their cake and eat it too.

I'm not a compulsive viewer. It's simply not worth it to me to pay a subscription fee for something I use sporadically. That's why I don't pay for Netflix etc. or any other subscription I don't get value from.

A pay by usage model I would be more likely to get behind. In fact, I already do pay some uploaders via Patreon. But I would also expect to be able to download the videos and play them on repeat without incurring extra costs (after all, it's a waste of bandwidth to watch stuff on repeat and I have my own storage space). This way I could also be sure my payment is going towards worthwhile contributions and not the brain rotting garbage they seem to want me to watch.

"We really are using a 1970s era operating system well past its sell-by date. We get a lot done, and we have fun, but let's face it, the fundamental design of Unix is older than many of the readers of Slashdot, while lots of different, great ideas about computing and networks have been developed in the last 30 years. Using Unix is the computing equivalent of listening only to music by David Cassidy."

I can't disagree with you on charities, since their business is literally begging for money. They're never going to have a "customer" recommending them to friends and family.

Travel and Fintech are products that are for everyone, so there will always be people interested in your stuff and then recommend to their friends if your product is good. Especially for travel, people are always seeking out new "products".

I think it's interesting that you brought up cars. In the past 20 years I've only seen two types of car ads: One is the stylish young woman going on a date, the second type is with young urban adults doing street dance and then the car flashes quickly in the end of the ad. Because advertising is only directed at certain groups. To normal people, these car ads communicate "We hate you" from the car company to the consumer, and would be a net negative for the brand. But since normal people are going to compare price, gas economy and features when buying a car anyway, this brand negativity doesn't mean much.
Not your original objector, but ... I was willing to accept that early humans are dumb, but your explanation relies on evolution and not social interaction.

You're still going to need traditional enforcement. The people doing those sorts of speeds modify their cars will just push a new tune to remove it (remember, most cars today are limited by the factory well before that to match tire speed ratings). So there's already evidence that limits set today do nothing to prevent this sort of abuse.
If it's an emergency and you're far enough that this is an issue, waiting for the emergency vehicle is probably faster (they also have access to meds that will slow down contractions or make them less painful).

(edit: I don't have a strong opinion on the original subject, but I think you're right. I just don't like your example, hence my comment)
If you are going this route a much simpler and more effective rule would be to limit the speed of a car to the max allowed on the road/country.
Only if that perfect knowledge includes knowledge of future events such as a tree falling on your car or it being struck by lightning etc.
> for every fairly executed person we can have up to one wrongly executed person, and that's totally fine?

you are confusing two ratios. the number of fairly executed people and the number of guilty people who are acquitted are obviously totally different.
I think - and it's only a think - that the author has ignored that a large part of what used to be called technical work is now commodified.

I remember when a mail merge literally meant printing out lots of address labels and then manually sticking them onto a letter & envelope. Word 2.0 (?) solved that problem for the 1990s and MailChimp has commodified it for the 21st century.

Double-entry book-keeping was technical work and was usually run by highly trained individuals. Nowadays every shop keeper just scans a barcode and has the customer tap-to-pay.

There's not yet a drag-and-drop like interface for anything more complex than Scratch (wither Visual Basic!) but the hard part isn't the technical work of stringing together libraries; it's requirements gathering.

Speaking of which, it has never been easier to drop in a high-quality cryptographic library, or import an interactive map on a website, or WYSIWYG edit a website.

So, the author is right that you can't stick a bored 18 year old in front of an IDE and have them create you an ERP. But a lot of the "grunt work" of IT is now firmly a commodity.

Stepping back a bit I wonder how much inconvenience do these people inflict upon us. Think about it. You rolled out a mobile app for a business/device/whatever. Best way to boost installs and impress your manager? Artificially gate features behind it.
Indeed. My first thought when I read this article's description of the law was "where's the _switch_?". Not literally a switch of course, but there's not even a figurative switch IMO. It's a something else.
It's misleading/wrong as an "and" from the article headline was replaced with a comma and it now states that "Google's phone thwart competition", which is certainly not what was said

My key takeaway from this article is that we cannot trust the closed-door fact-checkers of Snopes, Politifact, AP and others.

They're evidently not acting in the public interest, either by incompetence, or worse: by collaborating with the authoritarians who are rising in Western government.

It's clear from the truckers protest in Canada (with participants having their bank accounts frozen on order of Prime Minister Trudeau) that Western governments are willing to take draconian measures. And on the basis of this example, it's obvious to see how kill switches in vehicles could be misused by a government that desperately wants its own way.

Yeah I'm not totally convinced humans don't have a tremendous amount of training data - interacting with the world for years with constant input from all our senses and parental corrections. I bet if you add up that data it's a lot.

But once we are partially trained, training more requires a lot less.

> Especially with this update, prominent colors are given only to streets, which may make sense if you use Google Maps in your car. But as a pedestrian or cyclist, all the other information about my surroundings is much more important to me.

I wrote an entire thesis about how much google maps sucks, particularly for non-drivers, and it still manages to shock me when I (very rarely) open it.
In the UK, when looking at google drive maps I can already see the speed limit correctly in 99% of situations. This is occasionally incorrect due to recent changes or roadworks, but not very often. It also warns of upcoming fixed and mobile speed cameras. This is ironic as such trackers used to be illegal in Europe but are now built into European cars/mapping apps.
Spoiler: They're not English or Welsh.
Drunk driving already has very harsh penalties. Excessive speeds tend to have very harsh penalties too depending on the state. There's absolutely no point to a limiting system (in these contexts) that has a user override. The people doing these things have already made the conscious choice to do them.
Valid point but the solution is right in your own post: Just call it Hubble 2.0 and preserve its symbolic value. Spend a little telescope time to repeat a few of its most iconic shots (Ultra Deep Field for example), post them side to side, people will love it and it'll still be Hubble.

At that point, people would revolt to the extent money loses its meaning.
Huh. I hadn't seen those observations. They're both obviously correct.

Yes, absolutely, AI will reach superhuman persuasion before it reaches AGI. Yes, that's an extraordinary threat. The reason it's a threat is that it's a weapon without self-guidance or direction: a paperclip maximizer, as it were. A gray-goo problem.

I still think Sam has access to exactly this, and panic about it is what caused his firing. Whether his use of his persuasion-weapon has played a role in what ensued is not as clear.

I get that huge swathes of OpenAI appear to have been persuaded, but I don't think this weapon applies as much to them, nor do I think it is unique and different in nature from what already exists. It's a way of short-cutting the process of persuasion and coming out with the answer right away. Everything superhuman persuasion can offer, has already been deployed by trial-and-error using tools like Google Analytics and whatever metrics Facebook offered, in recent (and not-so-recent) years.

Just because you can now push a button and get the killer argument to sway a demographic doesn't mean people haven't got to that argument more slowly in previous years, whether it's watching the results of persuasion campaigns in click-through feedback… or issuing radio broadcasts and observing the results.

Back in the day there was a man named George Wallace who spoke of the things he'd done in public service, and nobody cared, and then he began talking of something else 'and they stomped the floor'. AI persuasion is nothing more than a short-cut for getting to 'and they stomped the floor', and there's more than one way to elicit that.

I assume any particle like that can only be detected by a single sensor in one location. How do you verify that this isn't some sort of noise artifact in your system?
In my backward state, police won't arrest someone coming out of a bar, no matter how drunk they are, unless someone calls to alert them. (bartenders are suppose to cut them off if they seem drunk, yeah right!)

However, the police will set up a "sobriety check" road stop, after warning you in the local newspaper where the checks will be! These road stops are usually off highway exit ramps far from any bars. So, yeah, too many cops drink and drive, I'm guessing.
I think the consensus is that it’s part of the process, but not the whole picture, but I’m no expert.
It's not black and white, but primarily:

- Libraries are suitable for providing building blocks and common functionality, that you'll build your system on top of, that systems will depend more heavily and execute more frequently.

- Services are a strong choice when there's a need to abstract high level operations and architectural complexity. Your system can then focus on making high-level calls without the burden of operating and managing all components and dependencies involved.
This reminds me of a paper I read a few months ago about someone training a neural network to add modulo a prime number--with the catch that there was an L1 regularization term based on Euclidean distance between neurons and the weights were permuted after every iteration to minimize the total Euclidean distance. The point was that you could make very interpretable neural networks by doing this. Does anyone else know about that paper and remember its name?
Titanium also doesn't have the resistance to abrasion that other metals have. There's stories of titanium bike frames being ruined because the rear tire was mounted incorrectly and ended up rubbing on the frame during a ride.
Dad died in 2021 at age 78 he was sick for a long time and at lest he had the option of MAID (Medical assistance in dying). He went to palliative care and I think really that is what happened. He never said, the staff never said but they were constantly injecting him and he died in his sleep unaware.

My Mom is 79 and often says she doesn't know anyone when she goes out. Her eyesight and hearing are both poor but not to the point of not seeing or hearing at all. But she said in stores, church, anywhere she goes there is nobody she recognizes even older people. So if you make it to old age and are in good health not stuck in a home and are mobile and can converse with people it can be very lonely if you are not good at making friends at that stage of life.
Agreed. People of the past lived happier, more in peace and more fulfilling years of life than modern people despite worse material conditions, violence, diseases and child mortality. Technology has been only harmful to humanity, and this is by principle, it’s not a side effect. Human body and mind is literally designed to live in a no-organization-dependent[1]-technology world, whether you believe in creation or evolution. We are literally not designed to live in a world of convenience.

If a bunch of AIs started discussing with each other, and learning from each other, without validation, things can go wrong very easily.

I bet a lot of people thought that strapping a pair of feahterry wing was all that's needed to fly. This "knowledge" could've passed from one person to another through discussion. But it only took one (or more) person to actually try it in the real world to learn that, no, that doesn't work like that.

AI communities (as in communities of AIs talking to each other) might be one filled with the most outrageous "conspiracy theories", that may sound plausible but have no substance.

As the modelling gets better, are we ultimately heading for a future where the only people who are able to get insurance are people who don't need it, because they aren't going to make a claim? If insurers get too good at predicting the future then it breaks their entire business model.
They change a lot in the US, too, and different companies have different methods of spreading risk across geographical areas, which can lead to shockingly different prices from different insurers depending on your location.

I guess the point may be that after 30-40 years of this, the low hanging fruit of commodification may be gone. Further, the more we commodify, the higher order our problems become and the specialist engineers you hire move further and further up the stack.

Also, not sure if it's always been the case.. but the latest vintage of SaaSified startups have a high % of products that don't actually do any of the things you want them to do yet. They want you to pay them for their service, so they can capture your use cases for implementation and then commodify them for other customers. So you end up with long lead times and IP leakage. Neat!

I think the example of templating SQL is always this misunderstood target for management. I dunno, the language in particular has survived an incredible length of time in our industry... it actually does a pretty good job. 99% of wrappers/DSLs/etc put on top of it make it far worse and still require you to dip into SQL for anything remotely non-vanilla. Further, instead of hiring SQL experts (there's many) you need to train up SaaSified DSL SQL wrapper X experts (none exist).

From the AP’s article on the subject [1]:

> Robert Strassburger, president and CEO of the Automotive Coalition for Traffic Safety, is involved in a public-private partnership with NHTSA to develop an alcohol detection system for vehicles. He said the partnership agreement includes a requirement to build security measures that would prevent third parties from accessing any data collected by the technology.

A requirement to prevent third-party access to collected data heavily implies 1) data collection 2) by parties to the partnership agreement, namely the manufacturer’s interest group and the government.
