I mean cars for the average joe.

Of course the roads would still be there but everyone driving on it would be a worker of some kind (trucks, usps, ups, ambulance, busses etc).

In that case, having a bike lane on the road is fine. They already did it with busses. Entire lanes here are painted red with bus only on them. They'll just do the same for bikes. One green lane for bikes, 1 red lane for city vehicles (busses, cops, ambulances), 1 normal lane for annointed drivers (delivery trucks etc).

> conspiracy theory

It's already happening. Manhattan just added a $15 dollar toll , entire lanes are being devoted to busses, neighborhood streets are being closed to through traffic. Give it 997 more cuts to get to what i'm talking about.

That doesn't mean there will be an ecosystem of ethical FOSS app developers though. That will take much time to develop and it only being available in the EU will limit its growth. And you'll probably still have to invest in a Mac to compile for iOS.

I think the excellent FOSS apps ecosystem will remain exclusive to android even after Apple is forced to open up.
I’m also not a lawyer, I don’t think they can change a ruling.

AI in Gaza Bombing: Israel's Civilian Casualty Concerns
From the article:

According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”

According to the sources, the increasing use of AI-based systems like Habsora allows the army to carry out strikes on residential homes where a single Hamas member lives on a massive scale, even those who are junior Hamas operatives. Yet testimonies of Palestinians in Gaza suggest that since October 7, the army has also attacked many private residences where there was no known or apparent member of Hamas or any other militant group residing. Such strikes, sources confirmed to +972 and Local Call, can knowingly kill entire families in the process.

Literally nowhere did I blame the victim for anything that happened to them. Nowhere.
while they do have pretty deep ties to tencent and are 40% owned by them, they’re not really chinese-owned since Epic is majority-owned by Tim Sweeney, a billionaire programmer on the Forbes 500 who mostly escapes criticism from programmers and game devs by branding himself as a savior for indie devs, which people accept uncritically because he likes to go on twitter and affirm their priors. He’s a highly effective nerd populist.
Google only has the monopoly in Android app distribution. Apple has it in iOS app distribution.
If everyone is a victim, does no one get the blame? Or does everyone?

Surely it isn't just one.
I'm sure that's how Google feels! "Unfairly competing in the 'Android app distribution market'?? We are Android!!"

This is one of those legal situations I really can't wrap my head around, though. The point is the situations are different enough it would have to be a different legal framework for Apple's situation, and a different day in court.

I think a ruling like this is good. We need more checks on Google, Apple, Amazon, etc.
Only if the Supreme Court takes it and what they rule on would apply to Apple.
Due to the particular form of the recurrent update of the hidden state, there's actually a parallel algorithm for computing the recurrence over length N in log(N) time via dynamic programming. Note, you don't save FLOPs, you just save "sequential depth" in the computation through clever parallelization. It's sort of an extension of the fast parallel scan described here: https://developer.nvidia.com/gpugems/gpugems3/part-vi-gpu-co....

Notably, Hobbes's point is that we entered a social contract—placing a Power above ourselves—in order to avoid this eternal warfare.

The kind of environment you describe, where the government cannot protect you from violence and so you have to protect yourself, is the definition of a failed state. It's not a normal situation that happens with normal governments.

According to https://www.justice.gov/archives/atr/competition-and-monopol... it does not have to be about adjacent markets. Maintaining a monopoly alone can be illegal, depending on the means.

Blocking all other means of distributing apps in a reasonable way absolutely should have been enough to get Apple sanctioned. Blocking alternatives with economic incentives is now forbidden, but blocking the access using code is allowed. This is stupid.

But sure, jury trial. And also US judges in this area are especially broken, with their warped understanding of when a monopoly is harmful.

---

Of course the other part of this is stupid as well. It should be illegal to have a monopoly, and it's the job of the government to break monopolies to enable competition. The US has it completely backwards here, and this is a big reason why that country is failing in key areas of economic development and infrastructure.
When is an aurora not an aurora? 'Steve'? and 'picket fence' masquerading
This is an enjoyable read, and while many of the specifics are arguable, the core essence, to me, is encapsulated by a famous Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

Too much of this industry is dogmatic pursuit of absolutes. The submission notes the documentation declaring that one should never use event attributes, arguing an illusory separation. Similar sorts of absolutism can be found in almost every tactic and approach. Too often many seek to simplify the choices we need to constantly make by making some of the options verboten. Its why everything old is new again and we seem to constantly have camps reverting to forbidden approaches and now decrying their replacements as the bad option.
I'm old enough that my fingerprints have largely worn off. My Air M1 won't recognize my index finger, and my thumb is 50/50. At least my iWatch mostly works, when it isn't complaining that the wifi is too weak (because I'm not holding my wrist in the correct orientation).
That would be pretty hard in general because you’d have to read the code they sent and figure out what’s safe to execute.

I find it interstring the author goes from saying "This is, in my polite opinion, completely wrong." with regard to this from MDN: "You should never use the HTML event handler attributes — those are outdated, and using them is bad practice." to finally presenting a solution that doesn't use HTML event handler attributes. I was expecting them to show me the use of these attributes in their solution, but they don't.

I personally like the separation of concerns that HTML/CSS/JS evangelizes and I feel like it lines up well with how the old school MVC frameworks want you to think about things.

I think a good middle ground here is that HTML web components article that was shared here a few weeks ago:
https://gomakethings.com/html-web-components/

I like this because it's still fairly low-code but you get cool stuff out of the box like attributeChangedCallback. You don't have to mess with build tools, which is what I like the most about this strategy. I can just drop these components into my Rails views like any other element, and their custom functionality gets mounted up as soon as they get folded into the DOM. No more document.querySelectorAll(".foo-bar").forEach(foo => bar()). Much cleaner, and the intent is more clear too. With <foo-bar>, it's much more obvious that the element has scripting attached to it than <div class=”foo-bar">.

I predict this thread will get flagged soon. The underlying topic is a bit too sensitive.

That said, my 2c is that when you are writing hundreds of pages while referencing hundreds of articles and authors within a few months, it is actually quite easy to forget quoting something, especially when citation tools and word processors weren't as advance as they are today. As long as the main topics and major findings within the dissertation were properly cited or are original, that dissertation is valid enough. A few slip ups mean little. Those who dig deep enough to find these and try to make a major case out of them are usually, imo, hired guns executing a smear campaign.

We all know that right now, the media seems to have a bone to pick with people not supporting certain opinions. But that is very "sensitive".
I don't think this is a good idea. A good model if we are really aiming at anything that resembles AGI (or even a good LLM like GPT4) is a model that have world knowledge. The world is not just English.

This argument doesn't make any sense.

Country codes or roaming fees have nothing to do with it. The reason we use Whatsapp is simply to avoid SMS/ MMS (I might have sent one MMS in my life, back in 2008) and network charges for phone calls/ video calls. Basically most of our phone communication activity is over ip, with the only exception of a minority of classic phone calls (as they tend to have better quality).

I am not surprised by that in the slightest, and I agree that most people struggle with that, myself included. It is THE struggle of our lives.

Being told as a child that if you take drugs you will go to hell is not a meaningful alternative. Not for incredibly complex thinking beings that we are.

Can you restate that for me, because the way I read it, you are saying that if you teach a child how to deny satisfaction it is a negative.

I think there is evidence to show that children who can't delay/deny satisfaction end up making significantly poorer life choices and have worse lives.

Anecdotally, every teenager I knew who couldn't accept delayed/denied satisfaction were absolute shits.
> Oh, and that goes for every vertex of every tile in the infinite tiling, not just for a single tile.

Could it possibly not? i.e. is there any way to tile n-gons in the (A + B*sqrt(3))[] kernel that has vertices not in that kernel?

What comes to mind is the counterexample of plain unit squares tiled with strips at irrational offsets from one another. But what about for n != 4? Does every tiling have some vertex-vertex co-location?

All well and good: allow everyone to use as many legalized drugs as they want, but enforce the other laws on those people. Don’t allow anyone to camp in the street, don’t let them steal with impunity. If they want to get wasted on drugs, they should manage to not cause harm to normal citizens.
Presumably there was a practical side to the difference in approach beyond marketing.
>The US is a very young country, with a burn it down and see what happens culture.

The United States as a nation-state is older than almost all of European nation-states, barring a few. It is one of the few nation-states that has continually existed since its foundation, without interruption.

Germany for example was unified in 1871. Were there 'Germans' (who spoke the language) before then? Sure. Germany? No. Neither Prussia nor Austria is the German nation-state. The modern German state was recreated after WW2 in 1940s. France is on its god knows what number of Republic now after Kingdom-Republic-Empire-Republic revolutions etc (although I'll grant that 'France' as a singular 'country' is older than the US). Italy was unified well later. The dutchy of Poland is not the modern Poland, etc.

It is one of the oldest(among the other very few) continually existing nation-states still alive today.

Your links have nothing to do with what I'm asking. Also you predicted that websites that host porn would somehow go out of business which never happened.

The current process:

This is not the current process. Anyone can buy cameras, steady cam rigs and wireless mics from amazon then edit on a pc.

Where are you getting this idea that anyone can't buy stuff on amazon and edit on their computer?

Why aren't you answering the questions of why there isn't a glut of high quality scripts, sitcoms, tv shows and independent movies? At some point you will have to accept that these things are difficult and it isn't just about how easy it is to make images. Anyone can write a book or start a youtube channel, but that doesn't mean that anyone can do it well. The best people are still the best.

This is one theory, and it's a theory that's hotly contested. Asserting it as a fact doesn't actually make it one, and we're currently watching several large scale experiments testing if decriminalization helps society. Early results are not promising.

Yes. Why are we so ok on giving up our rights like this? "no company is allowed to inside trade/use slaves/have a monopoly" - yes!
But that’s not something you get through a jury. There are no laws saying that’s necessary.

You need a new law to say that.

Google got in trouble for saying that you could do something and then secretly undermining it. Whether or not third-party app stores were allowed on devices was not the core issue.

It is a shame that the FTC was not this proactive when Google and Facebook were buying up every company in sight that might have turned into competition for them. Does this represent progress for the FTC? Or does Microsoft get extra scrutiny because of its history with anticompetitive practices?
Be mindful that in practice there is very little difference between civil and common law systems: the ceremonies appear different but the spirit is the same: past decisions heavily impact future decisions since that's the only way to keep things fair, society changes decisions in a softly evolving jurisprudence in both systems, juries are consulted but not all powerful since they can be driven by revenge sentiment etc.

Like you I was born and raised in civil law (France) and now have been living for 10 years in common law (Hong Kong), and the difference is almost invisible: Judges obey parliamentary decisions in both, whether you call that laws or constitutional amendment or even political pressure. They also ensure consistency of decision when needed but are ready to launch a little revolution if they feel society has changed (gay marriage in Hong Kong is in the air, for instance)
“The modern-day dimensions of a 2×4 are smaller due to historical practices and practical considerations. Thinner pieces of wood were favored over time to reduce shipping costs and increase efficiency in transportation. These dimensions eventually became standardized to strike a balance between cost-efficiency and structural integrity.”

I guess keep an eye on whether they continue to get smaller over time.. the above is a nice explanation but it could just be shrinkflation.

> Only the abuse of a monopoly position to advance your interest in other markets is illegal.

Two markets ARE at play for consumers: mobile phone hardware (with OS) and mobile app stores/apps. Apple is using it's monopoly in the former to create/enforce a monopoly in the latter.

You can tell there are two separate markets because you, the consumer, make (at least) two separate purchases to participate.

Inelasticity means large price changes do not change demand much. Your statement about a car being necessary is an example of inelastic demand. You need to make the carbon tax so high that peole become so poor they cant deal with a car i order to change demand.

Electric cars are a red herring at this point because they still cost so much more than an equivalent gas car that the break even point is a decade plus out for the bulk of people who are relati ely low mileage. (Don't say a subsidy makes up for it, subsidies are mostly bullshit. Its just making rich people pay for you buying an electric car nit making sense).

The better policy is changing zoning so we can build more like the netherlands, which makes public transit/biking/walking a lot more viable vs a car, which makestbe elasticity of demand for carbon higher and makes a carbon tax cause much higher switching off carbon at a given price level.
The problems with acute fentanyl poisoning are somewhat separate from chronic methamphetamine addiction. Mexican drug cartels have been manufacturing counterfeit prescription drugs such as Oxycodone and Xanax but substituting fentanyl for the active ingredient. They simply have bad quality control, so sometimes people who buy street drugs randomly end up with a fatal overdose. Especially if they haven't built up a tolerance.

> Religion probably worked well and bonding communities back when communities were small and homogeneous and had little contact with the outside world.

Religion has been more impactful in spreading knowledge and connecting cultures around the world than the printing press, radio and the internet combined. Religion for a long time was the only contact with the outside world. Christianity today is more or less the culture and knowledge from thousands of years and countless different tribes and cultures, fused into one piece. Spread worldwide by preaching, manuscripts, monks, monasteries and by the sword. Compared to most ideologies that only spread by the sword, ancient and modern.

The default human condition is to spread by breeding among your own people, and exterminate other people. Sometimes just the men and the boy children, to breed with the women. Sometimes by exterminating everybody and even eating them. Cannibalism and human sacrifice was the default human condition for tens of thousands of years, or maybe even for millions of years, before the light came to man.

Thinking that religion is only war and oppression is like thinking math is only for calculating artillery. It's a limited perspective.
