I often try to take a position of asking questions and avoiding presenting my own opinion. This works better face to face. Sometimes on the internet people are just looking for a fight no matter how cordial you are.

The trick is to let them reason their way out of it themselves. You have to remember, political beliefs are a much worse predictor of someone's intelligence or amount of information consumed on a subject, than you might expect. Usually people are biased by their immediate surroundings and have incomplete or inaccurate information. It's tempting to score easy points with rhetoric, but that only serves to insult their intelligence, and they'll get defensive.

The more time you spend listening to someone, the more "socially indebted" they are to you, the more leeway you get to poke some small holes.

Nothing too big. You don't want to destroy their whole position, because that feels like an attack on their intelligence again. You just wanna plant some seeds of doubt, so that they can figure it out on their own, away from the embarassment of being proven wrong in front of everyone.

And yeah, it ain't easy. Sometimes you end up hearing some rather vile stuff, and it's really hard to resist the urge to make a visceral response. Not saying I successfully do this all the time. But it is the only strategy that has ever made any progress at all.
Ngl I would root for a posts capitalistic Europe. Also there are reasons for Cuba's current economic stagnation; the US embargo :p
You pay taxes, the people in flood zone pay taxes. The same.

Then on top of that, flood zone residents have to pay extra for the flood insurance.
There is a potential causation vs. correlation issue here, too.

It may be no so much that people bail out due to the process, but that people who go into the process at all are more committed to the idea of marriage being permanent...

Please explain to me how baking all the art into a big tensor and then giving it away to everyone for free to run on any half decent GPU from the past 10 years is somehow anti-commons.

Rent-seeking by controlling AI models is anti-commons, the models themselves are not, neither is training them. Don't delude yourself into thinking that Miyazaki didn't study Moebius didn't study Mucha. Even if you got your way and all training on copyrighted material was stopped today and all existing models were deleted it would only be a matter of time before we could synthesize arbitrary styles (at least as well as we can today) by identifying and controlling the correct axes in tensor space using a model purely informed by public domain data.

Your art is mostly not yours, your art is mostly an amalgamation of other people's art which itself is also the same, all the way down. You are a sprinkling of flavor on top. Your art is stolen styles, techniques and vibes mashed together. And here you are, trapped arguing about where we draw the line on what's okay. 75 years? now 95? Look at what you're saying! Introspect and realize that your understanding of the context is defined by Disney and Bono wanting to collect rent on ideas. You're just focused on getting your crumbs of the pie in a game that's rigged to centralize power and keep it centralized.
Corporations Are Not to Be Loved
This is one of those situation I wish were more well-known, to counteract a kind of "we don't have that problem" or "it can't happen here" thinking.
Ultimately it's a marketing term, but it's a good one.

Of course ultimately the code runs on a server, but it's not a server that the customer has to buy, rent, maintain, or otherwise think about.

One of the big factors is whether or not AI can stay in the hands of the public or if it recedes into levels of hardware that only companies can own. If the latter, then the control will win.

Keeping AI performance workable on personal-level hardware is going to be a big deal. Open source work on keeping performance at that level may be long-term more important that this or that feature.

Watch out for calls for AI ethics to turn into calls for controls on hardware capable of running AI. I'm half surprised we aren't already hearing calls for that. I wouldn't be surprised to see it by the end of the year, though my expectation would be at least next year if not the one after. The real goal behind hardware control will be this sort of thing (though copyright control may actually be a secondary concern versus just keeping the really good tools out of the hands of the plebs), not AI ethics. (The elites know AI ethics limitations have no meanings as they have no intention of limiting themselves.)
That cost is negligible relative to the tens of billions they rake in via fees charged to iOS app developers. You could do the math, but I'd guess it most likely wouldn't even exceed $10 million a year.

Geothermal and tidal energy are also not fundamentally based on local solar power.

Though one might argue that they're also ultimately stellar-based power in the sense that in the case of geothermal energy both the residual gravitational thermal heat and heavy-element radioactive decay, and in the case of tidal power, the formation of our own proto-solar-system nebula were themselves based on earlier-generation stars.

But then so is nuclear fission based on heavy elements such as uranium, plutonium, or thorium.
I've seen similar levels of incompetence first hand. This isn't someone actively ignoring important security warnings. This is someone not understanding what you are talking about. This is someone who, at a fundamental level, has no grasp of the landscape they are operating in or the challenges they are up against. This is someone who wants you to go away because the jargon you're talking doesn't make any sense to them or their team.

"Please stop sending me these confusing emails. I have important work to do."

The only way to fix this is a "changing of the guard" at the organizational level. The IT boss, and everything he has ever touched, has to go.

Is that true? Anecdotally it doesn't seem to be from my circles of friends. At least those I know well enough for that sort of thing to have come up in conversation...

Do you know of any research in the area suggesting it is uncommon?

I definitely suspect what you say correlates to people who get married young, in my experience.
It’s a bit of a cliffhanger whether the zeroeth law as interpreted by R. Daneel Olivaw and culminating in the choice of Gaia’s governance instead of either the First or Second Foundation is going to go well, but he died within months of writing that far.

I’m not any kind of official or recognized Asimov scholar, just a fan, but I’ve read his prodigious catalog repeatedly and love a good “some is wrong on the Internet babe”.

You are either young or don't know any better. All major companies have bug bounties program and consistently, every few weeks, payout CRITICAL level bounties, as in attacker managed to get full server/access to any account etc. Security breaches are just a matter of time.

It is likely telemetry to improve the iOS experience. Unfortunately, some group of PMs will misinterpret the aggregated data and make the user experience worse. Doesn’t Apple have an opt out for data analytics?
FWIW, I asked my last boss (a CISO) about taking advantage of the layoffs to staff up and his response was that he couldn't afford Meta and Google talent. I think this is a common perception among tech's less privileged - the manufacturers and insurance companies and such of the world.

I don't know how to convey that you don't need Google-grade RSUs just because you're a xoogler, without looking desperate, but I wish I did because it would be handy for everybody about now.
WebGPU main pain point is forcing everyone to rewrite their shaders, no wonder most Web native game engines are going the shading language abstraction route, when only Chrome does WebGPU on desktop, and it isn't even an option on mobile years to come.

Thus cross API WebGL / WebGPU shading middleware is needed.
Logseq really needs the ability to add YAML frontmatter (title:, date:) to the text files. Every text file created by Logseq has a starting bullet point (" - ") because it is an outline. But this makes it impossible to render the file as a web page in a Markdown-friendly CMS as they all require frontmatter at the start of the file.
Parking at my university was a complete shitshow. This seems like a great solution for the campus.
Their strongest argument seems to be “correlation doesn’t equal causality”. But it’s somewhat of a moot point.

Suppose I do a study that finds lower household wealth is correlated with time spent gambling in Vegas. Do gambling losses cause the lower wealth? Or is gambling more prevalent among lower income earners?

If my goal is to choose a wealth advisor, maybe it doesn’t matter.
This is what I use. I am tempted by zoxide but I've never been unhappy with this, so the temptation remains quite low.
It's a great observation. People simply want their free stuff.

The potential challenge arises in the future. Today's models will probably look weak compared to models we'll have in 1, 3 or 10 years which means that today's models will likely be irrelevant in years hence. Every competitive "open" model today is tied closely to a controlling organization weather it's Meta, Mistral.AI, TII, 01.AI, etc.

If they simply choose not to publish the next iteration of their model and follow OpenAI's path that's the end of the line.

A truly open model could have some life beyond that of its original developer/organization. Of course it would still take great talent, updated datasets, and serious access to compute to keep a model moving forward and developing but if this is done in the "open" community then we'd have some guarantee for the future.

Imagine if Linux was actually owned by a for-profit corporation and they could simply choose not to release a future version AND it was not possible for another organization to fork and carry on "open" Linux?

This looks very interesting. They made very similar choices than we (iroh) did. Rust, ed keys, blake3.

They seem to do their own streams, while we are adapting QUIC to a more p2p approach. Also the holepunching approach seems to be different. But I would love to get more details.
Charles Darwin's writings in 1838 include an amusing list of pros and cons:

CONS OF MARRIAGE

— "Conversation of clever men at clubs
— Not forced to visit relatives, & to bend in every trifle.
— to have the expense & anxiety of children
— perhaps quarelling
— Loss of time.
— cannot read in the Evenings
— fatness & idleness
— Anxiety & responsibility
— less money for books

PROS OF MARRIAGE

— "Children — (if it Please God)
— Constant companion, (& friend in old age) who will feel interested in one,
— object to be beloved & played with.
— better than a dog anyhow.
– Home, & someone to take care of house
— Charms of music & female chit-chat.
My God, it is intolerable to think of spending one’s whole life, like a neuter bee, working, working, & nothing after all. […] Imagine living all one’s day solitarily in smoky dirty London House. — Only picture to yourself a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books & music perhaps"

It seems that you are suggesting that iphones should contain a database of every site on the internet so they can run search queries locally, which is a bit weird, not to mention it would make it impossible for spotlight to show recent results such as football scores.
I'm just curious, do you live in a high crime area?
Doesn't working out give you more energy in the long run? It does for me but you need to be balanced and don't consistently overtrain.

But it makes sense that with those alternatives shareholders would vote in favor of a buyout or a merger.
It'll certainly depend on your yardstick, I agree.

Scientically, technologically, we've seen more progress in under a century than we've seen in millennia. It's maybe easy to hand wave that off on advances in machine computation (computers), but computers are a globally coordinated effort. Foundaries, manufacturing techniques, CS research, etc are coordinated and advanced globally because of the internet.

M-RNA vaccines are the cummulation of a decades of advances. Genetic sequencing was a major advancement, but actually being able to make sense of it and do something with that information, and then to go encode your own M-RNA and trick the body into producing parts of the virus in order to teach it about a virus it's never actually seen is soo far removed vaccines of old, which was basically repeated exposure to a similar, weaker virus.

Could we have gotten here without the internet? Maybe? It's hard to tell, because the road to M-RNA vaccines was paved by decades of global coordination in the fields of CSE, virology, material science, chemistry, physics, etc etc.

And this ignores everything that goes into manufacturing this at scale, coordinating availability/priority, etc.

It's probably easier to look backwards and see what was lost and rediscovered. Feats of architectural engineering, Roman concrete, etc history is full of major advances being independently discovered and lost due to the inability to share, search, and archive information at scale
No really related, but I wish there was a NixBSD. Would switch immediately.
The arXiv model worked well for LK-99. The preprint went up. It got some buzz from authoritative sources. Different labs tried to reproduce, some succeeded but some failed. Through this process we've learned much more about the object in question, and what else but this learning itself is the point of the scientific endeavor? How does an anonymous and inscrutable committee help in this process?
Todoist finally getting around to it as well.
"Baby this is so good, we gotta get the government involved"

That's a weird way to feel. Think about why you feel that way.

Perhaps, like women who historically were shamed for going outside of a prescribed gender role, you too are falling victim to gender roles that no longer really exist.
For women the 50% chance of divorce is a net win though.
Run it on past data to see how it predicts against known recent climate and watch for curve fitting.

You can still keep your car charged at 80 or 90 percent even if you only drive 35 miles a day in your daily commute. The charge you add each night can be toward the top of the range, instead of always staying at the bottom of the range.
Of course it does, have to keep that Windows emulation going for Windows games on GNU/Linux.
I talked to a guy in vaccine research after the pandemic and asked him why it went was produced so fast. He said that basically we'd already done years of RNA vaccine research but it hadn't been applied yet. We had the solution already at hand, so we got a vaccine quickly. I don't think the Internet was a big factor in why we got it so quickly. (It may or may not have been a factor in why we had the RNA vaccine ready to go at that point in time.)
Funny how schools say "We are not going to teach you programming"

yet then you have like 5-10 strongly programming related subjects which would benefit from 2 semesters of strong introduction to software engineering.

But you'd need competent software engineers to teach it, instead you get people who teach you SOLID and other buzzwords they barely understand
But it was the store that decided to pretend I could self-checkout when I actually can't.
A software glitch didn't ruin lives, a duplicitous organization with dishonest people at the helm ruined lives. The problems with Fujitsu's system were widespread and understood but the Post Office pursued these people regardless. It should come as no surprise that the money they fleeced from these helpless victims likely went to executive pay. We all know that capitalism is a terrible system, it's just better than any other system that has been proferred, but profit motive brings out the very worst in people.
And some great card art from the "let's not take this too seriously" era of Magic the Gathering.
This needs to be higher. Works normally without JS enabled and doesn't require any header fiddling. By far the easiest way to integrate htmx while keeping a consistent user experience.
>I absolutely do not respect the concept of "Intellectual Property."

I think it's perfectly fine to selecting to work on open source projects based a principle of not respecting intellectual property rights. But it's another think to flaunt those laws and not be expected to be held accountable. What you can't expect IMO is think your lack of respect for a law somehow means you're above it. (That's not saying the govt didn't overreach in the Schwartz case; I'm not familiar enough with all the details to form a strong opinion.)
GitHub-hosted runners: Double the power for open source
Not everyone is a native English speaker on the Internet, what a surprise.
Passwords in error logs are only _ever_ good if doing very, very, low level debugging of why logins aren't working right. Even then it's usually enough to just log which auth backends are touched and their result state. However it MIGHT happen if an encoding issue is suspected. Ideally never on a production system.
For example of what this site offers, I found the following web page when looking for a .RTF (Rich Text Format) text editor (in my case, specifically for Linux, and ideally open source):

https://texteditors.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?RichTextEditorFamily

(Now that I think about it -- in the future, wouldn't it would be great to have a website/database that would contain all software, not just text editors, but the data would be so granular so as to allow searches on such attributes as open source (or not!), LOC, platform, language, program type, subtype, etc., etc. AlternativeTo has some of this, GitHub has some of this, Wikipedia lists have some of this, and of course, this website has some of this -- but for Text Editors only... anyway, just thinking aloud! <g> :-) <g>)
Food delivery is so absurdly expensive that automation can help the consumer.
I grasp it perfectly. It's you who can't grasp bullying:

"Oppose us, and we'll ruin you. And your family."
I think the process of data acquisition isn't so clear-cut. Take CERN as an example: they release loads of data from various experiments under the CC0 license [1]. This isn't just a few small datasets for classroom use; we're talking big-league data, like the entire first run data from LHCb [2].

On their portal, they don't just dump the data and leave you to it. They've got guides on analysis and the necessary tools (mostly open source stuff like ROOT [3] and even VMs). This means anyone can dive in. You could potentially discover something new or build on existing experiment analyses. This setup, with open data and tools, ticks the boxes for reproducibility. But does it mean people need to recreate the data themselves?

Ideally, yeah, but realistically, while you could theoretically rebuild the LHC (since most technical details are public), it would take an army of skilled people, billions of dollars, and years to do it.

This contrasts with open source models, where you can retrain models using data to get the weights. But getting hold of the data and the cost to reproduce the weights is usually prohibitive. I get that CERN's approach might seem to counter this, but remember, they're not releasing raw data (which is mostly noise), but a more refined version. Try downloading several petabytes of raw data if not; good luck with that. But for training something like a LLM, you might need the whole dataset, which in many cases have its own problems with copyrights…etc.
