As a counter-argument, I set up another mail server last week. It took me almost one day. The only change from the usual routine was that in the past I had to fill in a hidden form so that Microsoft unblocks my IP but this time for some reason it wasn't necessary.

Google is another beast altogether.

* First, I disable IPv6 in my MTA. Yeah, I know, other people managed to do it but it never worked for me and it's not worth the hassle.

* The next step is SPF. I set it up correctly and verify it actually works using several online tools, not just one.

And, lo and behold, this was enough to get first emails to Gmail spambox (Actually getting it to the inbox needs time and never works reliably). First for one account, then to others.

So yeah, the oligopoly is real, but as of now, December 2023, you can still set up your email server and send messages to Outlook and Gmail recipients (Yahoo too, but they are easiest to deal with than the preceding two in my experience.) I encourage everyone interested to experiment and at least try if they can set it up for personal purposes, because if everybody just gives up it will be the end of email.
NASA has a vintage 1966 video "Toxic Propellant Hazards in Rocketry" that provides an interesting discussion of the dangers of nitrogen tetroxide and hydrazine propellants. It includes people mixing them together in the desert, along with a dramatization of how to deal with a nitrogen tetroxide leak.

This is exactly how I understand it. There’s a lot ink getting spilled about “summarizing isn’t illegal” and “what about Cliffs Notes” but that isn’t what this is about.

If the verbatim examples that have been going around are true, that’s bad. I’d love to know more details around it — prompts used, whether that’s an old model, etc. This seems like plagiarism more than anything.

They could but that would pretty much mean giving up the tech supremacy to China since they won't apply it. China already doesn't care much about copyright so that's not going to stop them.

I suspect it wouldn't be too hard to convince the EU though, the EU has an history of giving up rights and markets to big copyright holders even if that hurts the local companies.

With all respect to the intention, this is a dead end.

There are many ways to argue the Basecamp decision. Framework themselves had a nice recent email to customers titled "We are not sustainable" that summarizes the conundrum.

It's worth reading MacAskill "Doing Good Better" and following the Ethical Altruism thread and the 80,000 hours stuff but with the awareness that the FTX fraud grew in that primordial soup. B-Corps are similarly non-useful as a signal of actual organization behavior. Some useful metrics are produced from corporate governance ESG/CER work but those have also to be read without the rose tinted glasses.

There is in some US states a binding corporate structure called something like Public Benefit Corp. They are as often as not used as the shell for a quasi government entity (and whether those are ultimately bound to ethical and sustainable practices is a question probably answered best with another question- "on what timeframe.")

'Some audiologists expressed worry that giving people direct access to hearing tests and hearing aids would hurt their business model, which has traditionally relied on bundled pricing that lumped the device cost with services, Lin said.

Surveyed in August 2022 just after the FDA ruling, less than 27 percent of audiologists said they would start selling OTC hearing aids, about 42 percent indicated they would “unbundle” their fees to compete with OTC hearing aid prices, and about 56 percent would support patients with OTC hearing aids purchased elsewhere. In another recent survey, about one in five audiologists said they will not sell or service OTC devices.

In discussions leading up to the launch of Hearing Number, hearing aid companies were “not very keen,” Lin said. On a call explaining the idea of a standard metric to equip people to measure their hearing and act on it, he recalled a director of marketing piping up in disbelief: “So, Dr. Lin, you’re telling me you want to emancipate the consumers?”'

Immigration will be politically encouraged either way for demographic reasons alone. Pensioners are the strongest voting block in most of Europe and it will stay that way for the foreseeable future. Someone needs to be productive for the pension system to keep on working.

As a European myself, I'd much rather have the comparably educated, motivated and talented immigration Switzerland and the USA get versus what the rest of the EU is currently getting.

Probably can be solved by including a positive personality overseeing the actions, but not getting the direct instructions from the client. Just generic initial prompt like "you are an inspector investigating possible law breaking", then the list of actions from primary personality, may be summary. And generic questions like "is it legal?", "is there a reason for concerns?". The answer can be given back to client as a second opinion.

This requires a second thread. Multi-threaded interactions likely to become common soon, I think. Because they increase the robustness.

I think you're misapprehending — I mean an entity fully 3D printed out of tissue, no machinery (unless you're counting all biology as machinery, but I think you're not doing that).

I recon bio-printing is now where home computing was in the Apple 1 era, so this is a way off, but it's foreseeable.

Asynchronous code doesn’t make something fast. It just prevents the application hanging when waiting for a function to return. But if that function is user facing (eg values for a context menu) and is slow, then your application is still going to feel slow in spite of those functions be asynchronous.

Coincidentally this is actually a problem I faced when writing my alternative shell.
> But deliverability for me was always quite consistent. If it went to spam on one account, it would go to spam on all of them.

You mentioned that your emails on Gmail and Outlook initially went to spam, but that you clicked "not spam" on those emails. This action should prevent your emails being flagged as spam for that particular receiver who clicked not spam. Obviously it can't work such that one person clicks "not spam" on an email, and then everything from that sender is whitelisted for everybody. Because then the spammers could just register a single email account, click "not spam" once, and then spam everybody. So my point is, if you test deliverability on email accounts where you have already whitelisted the sender, of course it's going to look like email is delivered.

> I just emailed him a couple days ago and he replied so I guess all is well?

Presumably you and your landlord have already emailed each other in the past, so any anti spam system should allow emails between those addresses to reach their destinations. It doesn't really prove anything.

lol

I think this may be turning into a emacs/vim war :)

> The point of vim is to be vi but with more features.

What defines the point of a tool is what its users make with it.

Having vim with emacs short inside a binary I can run anywhere (from BSD to Windows, which I still love to use sometimes) gives me freedom, so for me the point of vim is freedom.

I like emacs shortcuts (at least the readline ones) but not emacs itself, so for me, there's no point in using emacs.

But if you prefer emacs, why don't you try to do the same thing I did, yet with emacs? You can follow my tutorial (check the part about strace to know where to add your files) and the binary from https://cosmo.zip/pub/cosmos/bin/emacs

I may not like emacs, but if you prepare something containing what you consider should be the defaults, I'd be curious enough to give it a try :)

Most of the ethical-themed alternatives to a mass-market product don't seem to succeed at displacing the mass-market

Agreed, this is the big prize, and Patagonia seems unique in this regard. They might not make all their clothes in well-paid artisanal shops in Tennessee, but they have carved out a good chunk of their market.

To break into the mass market and advance ethical production seems to require just as much business acumen as commitment to ethics.

That’s the biggest thing I’m watching for in Framework. Can they do what is needed to bring their ideals to the mass market in volume, or will it just hang on as a bit player?
It is common AFAIK. The most used launch sites (there's one on Hainan where rockets only go over the ocean, but it's the least used) are pretty far inland and they don't seem to mind if boosters land on the people there or if the villages get toxic fuel sprayed on them.
I see little difference between the conspiracy thinking coming out of the hacker community and that coming out of MAGA and QAnon communities. Vague sinister claims that those in power are pulling all the strings and executing some master plan to deceive everybody. Reality is a lot more boring, mundane, and complicated than that.

I don't follow the hacker scene much anymore, but when I did, I was a fan of talks by people like Moxie Marlinspike. Entertaining, technical, and just edgy enough without falling into cringe LARP/cosplay pretending to be Neo in the Matrix.

Mobile in general is this way. For instance, on Android, if your app isn't targeting a high enough sdk version, Google will remove it after some time. If you have to upgrade your target sdk, you may find many libraries are broken (or not supported), and it also can lead to other cascades of upgrades, like having to upgrade gradle or the NDK if you use it.

There are many open questions here. It is unclear that an LLM that has "seen" GPL code is a derived work of that code. Your brain can "see" GPL code without violating the license, even when you later write different code. Redistributing the GPL licensed code that was seen earlier is what would be most obviously infringing.
The list of caught ones is immensely longer. It’s a cat and mouse game, it doesn’t really stop. Big pharma spends a lot of money on training the employees on how not to get caught. I worked 5 years in big pharma and it took me almost a year to understand why are the constantly repeating compliance and fair practice trainings. Giving examples how others failed, etc. Those were not there to tell you not to do it, but what to watch out for. And the sale targets and incentives are there to motivate you to cross the lines. I’m just grateful I was not in sales but application training.

Btw how is a government responsible for Theranos? There was never a product there, just promises burning VC money.

Opinion only:

I might go a step further and argue that, as a whole, "green capitalism" is primarily successful at guilt reduction, not sustainability. The math behind most of these efforts, climatically or socially, just doesn't work out. Consumers demand cheap shit, which almost always means automation + exploitation. The overwhelming majority of these efforts don't really amount to meaningful changes: they've been around for decades and the climate isn't getting any better, the wealth gaps (between and within countries) are usually getting worse, etc.

You might be able to subsidize some local efforts here and there, like a small hand-farmed CSA who pay all their willing employees a living wage and sells produce at a drastic markup. That might have better labor practices (though farming is no easy task; it's back-breaking work), but there's no guarantee of that either. Even then there's often exploitation (of idealistic WOOFers, for example). And there is often a lot of CO2 from food spoilage of fresh foods, which can sometimes be worse than refrigeration of frozen foods. There's just no guarantee of anything, really, unless you do a really deep dive into whatever effort you're interested in.

Counterproductively, I think many of these efforts and labels actually hurt the movements by providing consumers too easy of a way out. "Oh, I'll just buy organic/fair trade/whatever" and then they stop thinking about the problem altogether, believing that they've done their part and that the problem is solved, when in reality almost nothing has changed, systematically. It reduces our cognitive dissonance around market-driven capitalism vs sustainability and labor practices, but improves almost nothing in the real world.

It's all a bit depressing, and I don't think we'll find anything actually-sustainable under current models of capitalism. The whole point of our system is to concentrate profits in the hands of a few at the expense of the many -- whether the "many" is people, animals, places, whatever.

Want actual sustainability? We need much, much bigger socioeconomic changes.
I think Go's backward compatibility promise – https://go.dev/blog/compat – would make much Go software 'cold blooded' by this definition (so long as you vendor dependencies!)
I disagree. I think the best generic argument against the FDA is that government isn’t very capable of doing the many things we want it to. I would love perfect security when it comes to foods, drugs and supplements but even with regulations a lot of bad stuff slips through. Imo, that’s a better argument than that the fda keeps us from having nice things. The fda fails to protect us because perfect security isn’t possible, and past a certain point it’s all diminishing returns if not actually counterproductive (consider the effects of prohibition).
> as well as chassis stamped by its die casting machines with a clamping force of 9,100 tons — beating that of Tesla's apparently.

This seems incoherent to me? Metal stamping is a process, and die casting is a separate process, from what I understand. Is there any reason to die cast a chassis? Does the press strength around the casting molds matter? I’d assume chassis parts would be built out of stamped and bent sheet metal?

No, that is a level of error similar to delivering cars with no airbag in them for months. In any other industry that would indicate a unimaginable level of process failure. Only in commercial software are egregious, basic mistakes swept under the rug as “mistakes happen”.

Just to list a few process failures off the top of my head.

No proofs of specification conformance. No specification conformance tests. No specification. No regression testing. No regression testing of common failure modes. No testing of common failure modes. No enhanced review for critical components. No design conforming to criticality requirements. No criticality requirements. No intention to establish criticality requirements.

In actual safety and security critical software development you do all of those except maybe the first. Doing none of them is rank incompetence and clear evidence you do not know the first thing about actual security that can protect against real professionals. And fancy that, Apple can not and never has against attackers with minimal resources like small teams with only a few million dollars.

We can talk about a reputation for “strong” security when they can protect against the standard, commonplace 10M dollar attacks we see every day.
