In reference to the first video: did the definition of 'misogyny' change while I wasn't looking? These guys don't seem to exhibit 'dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women'. They simply want to have sex.

Also, one of the main features of the show seems to be to point out the fact that, with respect to women: That's Not How To Do It. So, to claim that the show's writers are "doing it wrong" seems to be missing the point. It'd be like criticizing the writers of All in the Family for imbuing Archie Bunker with working-class conservative values. The whole point of the show was to illustrate how wrong he was.

What was the strongest possible interpretation of the comment, which aired a desire to shut down discussion before it happened? FWIW, my response applies to every interpretation.

Thanks for not flagging the entire thread, at the very least.
Wait, how do you use this?
For me at least, firewalls are worthwhile for "defence in depth". I may have closed off all services I'm not using, but a firewall will still help if I forget one or if I later accidentally start something that listens on a port.

I also use blackholing (with fail2ban) and non standard ports (for ssh) - but just as a way to quiet down log files rather than ascribing much ion the way of security benefits to them.
This sets off my alarm bells big time:

>High-Friction Modal

>A decision is required to dismiss them: A decision whether to save state, whether to confirm (by tapping Done) or to destroy (by tapping Cancel) the data you’ve entered on a form.

>Low-Friction Modal

>They are easy to dismiss: “Low friction” means not having to think about how to get back.

'CANCEL' ON A PROMPT IS NEVER, EVER DESTRUCTIVE. This is a huge red flag for the author's understanding of UI conventions. "Cancel" must always be safe. "Cancel" is the low-friction no-thinking way to dismiss a prompt. It should dismiss the prompt, and do nothing else.

Corollary to this is that you should avoid putting a "Cancel" button on a full-blown input interface that will throw away user data if dismissed (regardless of whether you have decided to embed said interface in a modal). If you do, you at least need a "are you sure" prompt with a cancel button (hence why you avoid using the word 'cancel' redundantly on the original form).

I'm not supporting the parent comment. But don't you think we as humans have a penchant for conflating the reel and the real and ending up reinforcing the stereotypes present in the world?
If anything, we need less stereotypes. A caricature is fine, But after a certain point it just feels tiresomely pigeonholing into an idea.

If your web app has a complex build environment, which will happen with Typescript and React as the author proposes, you already did it wrong. Have fun with that.

Do what works for you, then learn to distinguish between your own opinions, preferences, and limited experience on the one hand and universal rules and so-called best practices on the other. Typescript and React amount to a blip on the landscape of web applications, most of which got written in Java, C#, and PHP before those supposedly better tools came along.

I feel a little bad for the generation of web developers who started with TS and React and now have to wedge everything into those buckets and disregard everything else, either out of ignorance or ideological stubbornness.
I have the Microsoft Authenticator installed on my iPhone but it doesn't require device management for remote wiping like traditional Exchange/O365 email on the phone does. It's possible that can be set at the organization level but I'm not sure -- so while it would be annoying to have to install that single work app on your phone I don't believe it would cause any kind of remote administration capability.
I thought the live action One Piece was amazing!

My 14 year old boy loves One Piece anime, so we watched it together so I could see what it was all about.

It’s a surprising substantial TV show in its own right, and for once a fantasy TV is just good fun without trying to hard to be serious drama.
I think it's a fair bet to say that either Apple's lawyers are better.. or Apple's employees are better (acting within the law) or both.
But that misses the point, via the same old argument "Does a submarine swim"? Or the now less loaded "Does a plane fly".

Neither generalizes very well w.r.t. how a fish or a bird does it. Nothing really generalizes between the natural version and the mechanical one.

But it's also clear that it's irrelevant. Trying to define useful behavior by categorizing implementation, will only give you categories of implementation. It's clear by behavior that what a submarine does and what a bird does are both for all intents and purposes meeting the definition of what we'd want something to do in order to fly or swim, even though they is no commonality between them and the version in nature.

So by your definition finding it ridiculous to ask "is a transformer conscious" is about as ridiculous as asking the very specific "does a plan flap it's wings"? The point is not to define it by it's implementation, but by what behaviors it exhibits.

If in the future there is no way for me the exterior to distinguish a next gen LLM from a human, animal or other conscious being it becomes irrelevant if it's implemented with transformers. However, while I won't go down that path here, the argument goes even deeper as technically we would expect differences so even if it's not identical to a human it still can be conscious. Just like a dog is conscious but behaves differently than a person does.
> CarPlay will be eliminated in electric vehicles under the Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC brands. Combustion vehicles from GM will continue to support CarPlay until they are phased out in favor of an all-electric lineup in 2035.

It strikes me as odd that they would maintain to likely divergent paths. And given that they claim that this is for safety then it is even stranger that they could and would maintain two separate paths – by their claim one safer than the other.

It's almost like this isn't about safety at all :thinking-face:

The inability to reach a human is in part a result of his cost-cutting measures. But it's also an example of what will happen to all businesses when tough times come. The humans will be fired, the machines will keep churning.

> Neither has peace (Oslo).

The peace was immediately undermined by groups who did not want to stop fighting. Look, the wikipedia article on the 1996 palestinian general election following the accords literally says, quote:

The Islamist Hamas, Fatah's main rival, refused to participate in the election; they felt that doing so would lend legitimacy to the PNA, which was created out of *what they called unacceptable negotiations and compromises with Israel.* [0]

> ["Those guys are giving away stuff to Israel! We'll get your stuff back!" is] A typical racist characterisation.

This is well documented history, see above for one such example. I know there are people out there who think we actually have an obligation to alter historical facts to avoid coming to uncomfortable conclusions, but I am not interested in debating that view here, if an honest accounting of the facts makes me racist in your eyes, so be it.

> You make it sound like Palestinians want war in perpetuity. Such a hateful rhetoric.

Of course not, they want their stuff back. I'm pointing out that they have consistently chosen a way of going about it that is actually preventing them from getting what they want.

Again, this is based purely on the actual history of the past 60 years where every Palestinian government has reverted to allowing anti-Israel violence because the public will not allow criticism of the fight to get their stuff back. As an example, the PA of today had to walk back its criticism of Hamas' Oct 7 attack after public backlash [1]

I dont know why Im being "condescending" by attempting to analyze the claim here that: "Israel cannot be called a colonizer"

> But calling Israeli Jews settlers -- especially within the UN Green Line! -- is terribly inflammatory, and not particularly accurate.

You brought this point back, even though I was willing to forgo it. I explicitly mentioned settlers illegally in the West Bank.
I'm personally least worried about short-term unemployment resulting from AI progress. Such structural unemployment and poverty resulting from it happens when a region loses the industry that is close to the single employer there and people affected don't have the means to move elsewhere or change careers.

AI is going to replace jobs that can be done remotely from anywhere in the world. The people affected will (for the first time in history!) not mostly be the poorest and disenfranchised parts of society.

Therefore, as long as countries can maintain political power in their populations, the labor market transition will mostly be fine. The part where we "maintain political power in populations" is what worries me personally. AI enables mass surveillance and personalized propaganda. Let's see how we deal with those appearing, which will be sudden by history's standards... The printing press (30 years war, witch-hunts) and radio (Hitler, Rwandan genocide) might be slow and small innovations compared at what might be to come.

I just got back from a week in Paris where I frequently had limited cell service indoors on a major provider. Even with antennas all over there’s just a lot of masonry for signals to get through.

I’ve been really happy on many occasions to have Wifi calling, both where I live in NYC (where service sometimes behaves similarly to Paris) and the rural places I visit frequently (where having the cellular modem off while at home saves tons of battery vs constantly having no service).

Not 100% sure about cancel vs. stop.

Say I'm creating a new calendar entry. I type a lot of information, then I get to save or cancel. Technically, cancel is safe because I'm not messing up my existing calendar. But all the typing I did (especially on mobile) would be lost. So is cancel really safe? But Stop wouldn't the right choice either...

What do you suggest?
I always found it weird that patents are a flat 20y but somehow copyright is life + X years. For me it should be a similar 20-30y period. How does life even work for a corporation?
I think that’s supposed to be intentional though. It didn’t click with me either even though in retrospect characters in the future are reflecting on their pasts that were shown in the very same episode.

I would say that criminalization is "an" issue - when the drugs go through black markets quality suffers, it's harder to drive out bad suppliers, keep markets open, etc. This decreases the quality of the product overall, but also lowers the availability somewhat.

On the other hand, look at cigarettes - everyone agrees they are very bad for you, the packages say it, and you pay an extremely high premium for them over their costs. But no one dies from fentanyl (or whatever) in them because they're a regulated industry. We used to know less about it and let people smoke as much as they want. Now that we have good data on that we raise the social and financial cost of cigarettes to keep them as unpopular as possible.

I'd encourage you to think about this less like eggs and more like the weather. On some level, drugs exist "out there" and people will use them "sometimes." We can't change that. What we can change are the systems that make the already difficult problem of addiction worse by introducing lethal surprises.
This is already the case in at least some large, boring businesses. Think like bank IT departments. There’s a whole generation of CTOs out there whose mentors got fucked over when Oracle pulled almost the exact move that Broadcom is pulling with VMware. Some of those people have billion dollar budgets and serious religion about OSS.

I kinda don’t think it’d be possible to build a business like VMware’s today tbh. Certainly not after Broadcom is done with them.

I think the thing to watch here is Tanzu. In theory most of the software under that brand has an off ramp onto some other vendor. It’d be painful (ripping OpsManager out of a TAS installation is no joke) but basically straightforward technically for the right person at the right price.
> offices, go grocery shoping, see a dentist

Those are not the big gotchas you think they are. They are luxuries that only have value in the context of our western society, but don't intrinsically.

Think about it.

1. Office -- if you live in a nice climate, a climate controlled building is not much of a draw, in fact hanging out outside most of the time is more fun
2. Grocery store -- not much of a need for this if you can get all your food from the nature around your home
3. Dentist -- this is mostly to solve problems of civilization. Eating lots of grains, especially refined ones and refined sugars, leads to cavities. The causes of cavities mostly got introduced to our diet when grain was adopted 10000 years ago, and again in the mid 20th century with the advent of ultra processed food.

What else are you going to list? A car that you don't need in a walkable village?

Then there's healthcare. Most healthcare in the west today deals with lifestyle diseases caused by modern processed food, obesity, etc.

Then there's infectious diseases-- again mostly an urban problem, really starts taking off when agriculture and sedentism began 10000 years ago. Lot of living packed together in close proximity with plenty of animals.

Admittedly advanced healthcare for accidents and other freak health conditions other than modern obesity or infectious diseases, would be an undeniable luxury. But it really represents a small percentage of health care services, both these days and in the past.
If you have an account in X, by all means maintain it, and utilize it but if you're starting out, odds are it'll be a wasted effort.

First, it's almost impossible for new accounts to get visibility due to algorithm changes. Maybe it's better if you pay for a golden badge, but you'll be paying $12k/year for what exactly?

There's a good chance X is headed to becoming the next MySpace. As such, investing in it going forward is likely unwise. Mine what you can and redirect your users to all your other locations so you have a plan B as/when X fades into obscurity. I think most people feel like this as well.

Except fairly doesn't mean the same deals with different customers? It's perfectly fair to charge lower fees to someone already proven, while charging higher for someone who is just starting out. It's perfectly fair to have the same asking price for something, but sell it for less to someone who actually negotiated for it.
Lamenting the future of humanity is a time honored pastime.
> Technically, cancel is safe

No, it's not safe in that scenario. "Destructive" means throwing away anything, even one word the user typed. Do not use the word "cancel" for that operation - use the word "Discard" or an X button, with an are-you-sure prompt that has a cancel button that safely brings you back to the editing interface.

Edit: OK, maybe "one word" is an exaggeration. Certainly for the case of a form of input fields a no-prompt cancel button is inappropriate. However, if you have a simple OK/Cancel dialogue that contains a single one-line input field, it is usually acceptable to have a Cancel button that throws away your input without prompting.
My extremely limited experience with Java is similar, it seems to do much worse than C at compatability over time. Of course you are right that it is a fair example of early Unix code, I just didn't read the comment you were actually replying to carefully enough :(. Pre-standard C has more issues, so I don't think that is fair vs Windows but that is not what you were replying to. Source availability gives some additional options that you don't have with only binaries but I think you are right that without it being open source the use is limited (and potentially negative, like how the BSDs were limited by the USL lawsuit in the early 90s). Useful open source software is likely to be maintained at least to the point of compiling, though it may take a while to break enough for someone to bother (sox is in this middle stage right now with package systems applying a few security patches but no central updated repository that I know of).

I wonder what else humanity would have done with those 100 billion hours if it were not for Netflix.
I actually suspect the 'Thomas' addition was an archetypical figure modeled around the theme of twinning present in the aforementioned proto-Gnostic first century tradition, initially added to John (which was arguing against this group) and then later added to the Synoptics which might be why an apostle allegedly nicknamed 'twin' doesn't appear much in the events and only in lists of the 12 apostles which don't agree with each other.

In the Gospel of Thomas (the text I'm discussing above), there's only two associations with 'Thomas' as a person, both which emphasize a secret character to the teachings, internally inconsistent with saying 33 and which I suspect are a second century addition.

So I suspect there was initially the ideas around a first and second Adam, first physical and second spiritual, plus the over-realized eschatology around the transition having already happened, which are concepts found in the Epistles.

If you want more, there's three key documents:

First is the Gospel of Thomas, second is book 5 of Pseudo-Hippolytus's Refutations of all Heresies on the Naassenes (the only group explicitly recorded following the Gospel of Thomas), and Lucretius's Nature of Things which is the glue that helps contextualize ideas like Thomas's "the cosmos is a corpse" or the Naassenes interpreting seed parables as referring to indivisible parts of matter making up all things and being the originating cause of the universe.

The scholarship is pretty shitty given the 50 years of erroneously thinking the text was Gnostic, followed by general disinterest by most scholars, and to date no scholarship yet considering Epicureanism as a foundation for the philosophy in it despite a 1st century Talmud saying about "why do we study the Torah? To know how to answer the Epicurean" or Josephus talking about the Sadducees (who shared Epicurean ideas) loving to debate with philosophers.
