We now have to pass laws to protect freedoms we thought we had
I think in the general case you're describing, it seems like law enforcement & strong arm politicians are generally leading the charge. Others pick it up from there, top down in fancy slogans, like law & order, tough on crime, or scare tactics etc. It's part of the prison industrial complex - make many things illegal, jail who you want, get a kickback, bonus if you end up disenfranchising them in the process.

This specific case is closer to outlawing encryption - the government doesn't fully understand or care about this product's uses but suspects it could make it harder for them to do what they want.

> That'd actually attract less attention that outright hotwiring a vehicle.

Disagree. Depending on the approach taken, the theft can look like a legitimate owner getting into a car. Even the break the window and reprogram a key via ODBII port technique takes about a minute to complete. Plenty of people have posted videos of their cars being stolen (I'm part of several Camaro communities, which are big theft targets) via this technique and it's crazy how fast the thieves are.

Tow trucks attract a shitload of attention. My neighbor had her car towed yesterday and two neighbors came out to check on it.
I don't think the media of recording matters so much as that there exists a recording. I agree that in other contexts this might be less troublesome, but Amazon has a history of retaliation against labor organization, and it's quite possible (I'm by no means saying certain or even probable) that this is another instance of such.

I expect employees to know the correct answers and give them to me. When an employee says something that contradicts other policy pages I'm expecting that to be a change to company policy to me - they represent the company.

If the company doesn't agree to that, then they need to show the employee was trained on company policy and was disciplined (on first offense maybe just a warning, but this needs to be a clear step on the path to firing the employee) for failing to follow it. Even then they should stand by their employee if the thing said was reasonable (refund you $million may be unreasonable, but refund purchase price is reasonable)

I've been looking at Remix a bit recently and it looks really cool, but the part I'm not too fond of is having to use Node on the backend.

But there doesn't seem to be any true way to get reliable/feature full SSR with a backend that is not javascript based.

I do see that has has a BFF mode, but I can't really find any instances of many people using it, or at least writing about it. Does anyone have experience with BFF mode?

Good. I hope people out there also discover chatbot holes and exploit them. Chatbots are one of the most useless and time wasters things out there, they literally serve for absolutely no purpose. And most of them work exactly like nested dropdowns where you select one option after the other. Oh and when you really want to talk to a human being in almost every scenario that option is not available. What a wonderful world powered by "AI".

BBC: Big Tech jobs have lost their glamour
(Materialize CTO here.)

Partial materialization is indeed Noria's major contribution to dataflow technology, and it's impressive stuff. But I want to call out that there are a number of techniques that folks use with Materialize to avoid paying for O(entire materialized view). The two most common techniques are demand-driven queries using lateral joins [0] and temporal filters [1]. Noria's approach to partial materialization is automatic but gives the user less explicit control; Materialize's approach is manual, but gives the user more explicit control.

The other major divergence between Materialize and Noria is around consistency. Noria is eventually consistent, while Materialize is strongly consistent. There is a caveat to Materialize's consistency guarantees today: we don't offer strong consistency across your upstream {Kafka, PostgreSQL, MySQL} and Materialize. You only get strong consistency within Materialize itself. But we've got an improvement for that in the works that'll be rolling out in the next few months.

> You can see the ethical decay unfolding...

The Nordic countries are all among the least religious countries in the world, yet they seem to have some of the most ethical societies on the planet if you consider human rights, democracy and low violence to be the result of an ethical society.

The most religious countries in the world are all at the very bottom of rankings taking into consideration any of those factors.
> I don't see anyone in the USA's political landscape advocating for land redistribution, communal ownership of the means of production, etc.

I constantly see politicans declaring we need to tax the rich or need wealth taxes. And they want to use the taxes to pay for nonpublic goods: social security, housing for all, medical for all, etc.

That is more socialsim than communism, but now we have interesting events at the state level: NY just effectively seized a business from a man in a civil lawsuit against an individual wherein no harm was declared to befall a party. The implication is that now all private transactions in the state will require a government-approved stamp or face the possibility of being later nullified and seized by the gov.

It's the first actual step in gov seizure of production: requiring the gov to allow a private, voluntary transaction with no third party harm before the transaction is solidified. That's akin to gov controlled production to me.
Famously, without a bibliography. Odd choice for a book claiming to be a substantial field-defining scientific work.

We have had a series of expensive public inquiries in BC about high-level money laundering that is very obvious to most citizens for years, and has had any number of whistle-blowers come forward over the past decade. The estimated amount is in the 10s of billions per year for just BC.

Currently we are at the point where BC has decided to create its own money-laundering investigation team since the findings are basically: the feds are completely unable to manage this crisis.

My bad, I was thinking in terms of the expensive remote start lock vs an even more expensive and safer remote start lock.

But if the fancy insecure lock is more expensive, the problem should fix itself eventually, right? Consumers will switch back to the cheaper system of their own accord.

It sucks for the people who bought the insecure cars without knowing, but banning insecure cars is not going to help them retroactively in any way.
Well, as a child of the mid-80s and 90s, it seems to me like the Cold War has warmed up into an actual proxy war with Russia, the climate is quite a bit worse now and widespread floods and fires are normal, the protests are still ongoing but people have less faith that anything can improve, wealth and housing inequality are getting worse, the economy is even more concentrated at the top, abortion is illegal again... oh, and music is long past its peak :P

But hey, we Millennials griped and screamed and absolutely nothing got better, then we kinda just gave up and left the world even worse off for our kids. Gen Z was born into the multipocalypses, but to them, it's all they've ever known, and in a way they seem way more at peace with it than my generation was. Less "oh noes, everything is dying, we must save all of it!" and more "whelps, everything is broken, what can I do to survive and still find moments of joy?"

I don't envy the kids born this decade, growing up into a post-peak-capitalism world where robots and dictators are the new norm, instead of liberal democracies... but I suspect they'll adapt, as kids do. It's always the parents who worry about the future, especially when there's a drastic values shift (like there have been over the past few decades). To the kids, it's just everyday life.
I have to object that the rule of law isn't about the extent of laws and enforcement but rather about making whatever enforce exists systematic, fair and so-forth.

The concept of rule of law never implied the replacement of custom with bureaucracy - although that often happens. It implied the replacement of the venal authority of kings and nobles with codified principles. Especially, as the parent points out, customary honesty isn't based on any enforcement system.
I had a similar issue with Bard yesterday, where the response switched to Chinese halfway through.

This (and Signal's solution as well) does not protect against active MITM attackers with quantum computers. They would need to incorporate post-quantum signatures into it as well.

The reason why it is missing (but seemingly planned in the future) is because it is not as critical as this change. This change prevents attackers from recording conversations now and decrypting them when (in the next ?? years/decades) they get access to an actually powerful quantum computer. On the other hand, you can do MITM only after you factorized RSA key (or solved discrete log).

The additional reason I presume is that this typically requires a change to the whole public key infrastructure (certificates, OCSP, etc.) which is a lot of additional work.

I don't want this to be interpreted as a negative comment about Pijul: I didn't try it, and don't want to judge.

My question is: what is the motivation for making distributed VCS? Over the entire lifespan of Git the number of times I had more than one remote... I can probably count on my fingers. And I've been in infra / ops for the better part of my career. And, all those times were exceptions. I'd do it to fix something, or to move things around one time, and then remove the other remote. Other times it was my hobby projects I shared with someone in some weird way.

Most developers who aren't in infra will never see a second remote in their repositories even once in their career. It seems like developing this functionality adds a significant overhead both in terms of development effort and learning effort on the part of the user. So... why?
Not generally, especially not the super generic stuff. Where they really excel is having the guy that wrote the kernel driver or hypervisor on staff. But a lot of it is just an automated version of what you'd do on a smaller scale
How on earth do you coordinate incident response for this? Imagine an agent for customer service or first line therapy going "off the rails." I suppose you can identify all sessions and API calls that might have been impacted and ship the transcripts over to customers to review according to their application and domain, I guess? That, and pray no serious damage was done.
> With the British Post Office, the issue is whether or not a software system is inscrutable

Not sure what "inscrutable" means in that context. Is it supposed to mean it can't be scrutinized?

A law was passed some years ago that says evidence obtained from a computer system should be accepted as true, unless evidence is provided that opens it to question. That means, in the Post Office case, that postmasters couldn't demand that the Post Office prove that Horizon was working correctly. They had to prove that it was defective, which was difficult; they were kicked out of their shops, and denied access to their own records, including the Horizon terminals they had been using.

YMMV but the best therapist I've met so far already felt more understanding and productive in the first hour than others in months, I think if it's going nowhere after a couple sessions that might not change any time soon.
It mostly means that there are tokens dedicated to rarer sequences of characters, even in foreign languages (note that Gemma is not intended to be good multilingually): “説明書” (instruction manual) has its own token, and so does “Nixon”, “آباد” (a city suffix, I believe), and the HTML sequence "\"><!--".
Anxiety is definitely not always rational; you can feel anxious without being able to identify a good cause. But knowing (or being told) you "shoudln't" be feeling anxious doesn't really make the anxiety go away. So now you're anxious AND feeling guilty about it. Not a healthy combination.

"Just stop thinking about it" is not that helpful either. Overthinking happens internally, whether it's being expressed outwardly or not. I don't think diagnosis is a trigger, rather the opposite; it's the first step to understanding your own condition and ways to cope. "It's not just me" is a powerful realization.

It takes a village to build something.

But it takes a leader to assemble a village around a cause.

I do appreciate your take. The village deserves credit for the work they've done.

But, at the same time, for many folks I see "well actuallyed" for their achievements because of the village... I don't think the change would have manifested in the world if the village didn't have that person.

An example I see more frequently now is that a market for electric cars wasn't willed into existence by Elon. There are variations of this claim, from him not being the original founder to the huge number of employees involved with Tesla's accomplishments.

But, at the end of the day, I have zero reason to believe Mercedes Benz would be releasing an electric car if Elon had decided to take his market winnings and go sit on a beach.

I have no reason to characterize the wolfram language, and its ecosystem, as anything other than a magnum opus that was willed into existence by Wolfram.

I have never heard of Anki used for live notes in class. I find that surprising because Anki cards are said to be good if you use them to capture quanta of understanding. While you can make cards on whatever facts or understanding statements made explicitly in class, I find it hard to believe that you would be able to create those novel long range understanding cards during class.

And you can't create those cards for existing cards. You need more comprehensive notes (like your class notes) to create those cards.

We could have real rehabilitation centers focused on educating the kids, treating them like human beings with respect, and show them how to live life well.

Or we could put them in kid-jail and be put at a higher risk for all sorts of violence and abuse just to punish them.

As long as people hold the opinion that a 12 year old is "well on their way down the path towards irredeemability", we won't ever move past revenge based for-profit prisons and the crime problem will continue to get worse as these illiterate and stunted children are released back out into society.
