> In short, the problem is that there is no universally agreed-upon definition of "problematic" content. No matter what definition you think is reasonable for moderation, there will both be people who complain that it is too permissive and people who complain that it is too restrictive.

But this is rather the point. What you need is a wall between hosting and discovery.

Alice has some rather controversial things to say, Bob wants to hear about them and Caren doesn't. So Bob and Caren should be using different filtering systems that they can choose for themselves. What shouldn't happen is that Alice gets banned from the internet or shadow banned on a dominant platform with a network effect just because Caren doesn't like her, because Caren should only be deciding for Caren and not Bob.

This doesn't mean Caren has to design her own filtering system. She can use someone else's. But she should have a choice in which one to use, independent of the underlying platform, and so should Bob.

Right now we tie the filtering system to the thing with the network effect and then have Zuckerberg or Musk deciding for everybody when it should be everybody deciding for themselves.
Sad how few people actually have a consistent "thinking on paper" discipline.

Turn your thinking around. The only reason we still call it a phone is because that's what the original function was. They are pocket computers in everything but name. A significant percentage of the population doesn't even use them for voice calls anymore.

I’m pretty sure when you hand in the paperwork for creating a car company, there’s a little pledge you have to take: I will make the crappiest possible OS to include in my car.

It is really bizarre that they insist on continuing to try. Just give us AUX in (stereo or usb). Cellphones can do it all now anyway. The car’s entertainment system should be about as complex as a pair of headphones.

There’s a huge number of businesses, colleges, and government officials pushing policies rooted in far-left, liberal thinking like CRT. They also often censor or cancel those who disagree whether majority or minority members. They systematically discriminate via DEI in hiring, promotions, and grants. Google itself has a CDO that was just bragging about hiring non-whites in a news story. People like them seem to hate and always work against specific groups while loving and benefiting their favored groups.

World Economic Forum pushes it with a list of huge companies that align with their initiatives. They bragged even movie makers do that like how they put LGBT and feminism into as many movies as possible, and hire some directors whose only success was feminist movies. Meta has DEI pages, a page giving money to feminists to push their theories, and their writing on alignment looks like others I just mentioned.

So, yeah, there’s definitely a culture war going on. We had values, policies, etc that worked well. These companies often existed and got successful because of that kind of thinking. Starting in liberal universities (often cultural Marxism), people with different concepts are getting into positions of power. These concepts wrecked many prior countries but their proponents want to force them on everyone else.

Every now and then, you see clear evidence of what they do leak into the media. In this case, some of those racists at Google probably programmed the AI to reduce white males or increase those in favored groups (“diversity”). Then, it started doing the same kinds of things its creators would promote in mass media, but in a dumber, obvious way.

Nobody should depend on AI’s designed by people who may hate or seek to minimize specific groups. God created everyone in His image, told us to love them all, there’s “neither Jew nor Greek” now, and justice is rewarding any who work for that reward. People need to drop this stuff in favor of non-discriminating practices.

I hope it's not an overreaction to the current reactionary anti-ESG trend. We do need electric cars; they are the future.
Hehe, nice work. Practical effects are cool!
I wholeheartedly agree that the problems Tea mentions do need to be solved, I maintain several large-ish OSS projects; it's not easy, takes a lot of effort.

Unfortunely, anything with crypto kinda just flops. Crypto was a decent idea, but there were too many uneducated people who didn't know what it was, and now it's turned into this dumpster fire.

I think another problem is also how no crypto project actually explains how it helps. Sure, I'm all in if I can earn some money for maintaing my OSS, but how does that work? What are the details? Literally every crypto thing just does some hand-waving and says, "don't worry 'bout it, it'll just work magically, trust me".
Depending on the ambient temperatures in your local climate, you may need a more efficient heat-exchanger on one side or other of the heat pump.

The cost of a heat-exchanger is a compromise between cost and efficiency.

My point is that when models predict counterintuitive results (which they often correctly do; See e.g. Eurisco in the Traveller TCS championship, or the shape of the F-117 compared to contemporary stealth aircraft), it's worth double-checking.

Other individuals and corporations have many rights with respect to other individuals and corporations that are not shared with the government.

In this particular aspect, the government cannot abridge your right to free speech, but this is widely understood as referring only to free speech essentially controlled by government (i.e. public contexts). I am (relatively) free to limit your "free speech" in my magazine or blog or youtube channel.

Part of the question before the court is the extent to which social media is closer to a government controlled space or context or a private publication.

I'm not sure they're necessarily claiming the keys are copywritten (which honestly would be a terrible strategy), but instead that yuzu's ability to injest keys and encrypted copywritten works (decrypting them on the fly as needed like a switch would) constitutes a circumvention device banned by 17 US § 1201.

How does Metaculus make such predictions? I assume it can't be in the reliability engineering fashion used in industry.
It might even be Tesla again.

Somebody, somewhere will make an electric jet that is good enough. It will be very destructive for the old manufacturers, for old airports, and for many airliners. It won't need the long airways we are used to so we will likely get more point-to-point like travel to/from city centers (multiple sites for bigger cities).

Longer-distance travel will still remain the remit of traditional jets -- but they will have a much smaller market so there won't be much R&D, except through state subsidies and military contracts.
You might want the same piece of code to work correctly under different numerical types. Answer: Op overloading + generics.

My heat pump is 12 years old with a CoP of only 3 so when it gets down to -15C, it's less efficient than a resistive heater so it shuts off and the display shows P3. It was designed that way so you can have a secondary heat source set a few degrees below the temp you normally want so that kicks in when the heat pump shuts off. My backup is the electric baseboards I used before I got the heat pump.

Some heat pumps have a resistive heater built into them which kicks in when it's too cold for the heat pump to have a CoP of greater than 1.

It's not "technicalities;" these rights only exist in a legal sense because of the Constitutional protections.

Remove those protections and the rule doesn't become "Everyone gets to say whatever on Twitter;" they become "Twitter can tell everyone to pound sand, can lie, can commit fraud, can pretend to be other people and edit your messages in transit," etc. Without the law, it's might-makes-right and the corporations definitely control the wires and the databases.

I argue that forcing the corporations to transit bits of various users infringes upon their rights more than the law traditionally demands (and morality requires, since the existence of a corporation doesn't immediately infringe anyone else's right to start their own website).

Not so sure about that. You need battery and 4 x electric motors to wheels.

The idea is much simpler than regular combustion engine car.
Less parts that wear out.

Idea is actually so simple that all the manufactures compete on putting as much nonsense into cars as possible, insted of making easily replaceable battery and car which would last 50 years and accelerate like Ferrari.
At first I didn't believe Apple actually tried to make its own car.

The airfoil shape causes formation of vortex around the wing, which ridiculously changes the relative speeds and pressures involved. At low pressure you compensate with speed, which is squared in lift equation.
"AI can’t replace [adult] performers, and people who say that are misunderstanding what performers do"

I disagree. You are just watching it on a screen. If it looks realistic enough and you can generate anything you desire, it will put the adult industry out of business.

There are already countless numbers of TikTok influencers that are AI generated and men continue to send them messages, watch videos/pictures as if they were real. This is only the very beginning stages of this revolution.

AI has given a lot of people a lot of cover to kill projects which are going nowhere. Rather than "this was a terrible idea, we've wasted a bunch of money" they get to say "AI is transformational, we have to allocate resources to it and hence we are cutting X, Y, Z".
.NET uses threadpool with hill-climbing algorithm. Each worker thread has its own queue and can also perform work stealing. However, if that is not enough and the work queues fill up faster than the items in them get processed, the threadpool will spawn additional threads until the processing lag is counteracted (within reason).

This historically allowed it to take a lot of punishment but also led to many legacy codebases to be really shoddily written in regards to async/await, where it would take some time for threadpool to find the optimal amount of threads to run or devs would just set a really high number of minimum threads, increasing overhead.

In .NET 6, threadpool was rewritten in C# and gained the ability to proactively detect blocked threads outside of hill-climbing algorithms and inject new threads immediately. This made it much more resilient against degenerate patterns like for loop + Task.Run(() => Thread.Sleep(n)). Naturally it is still not ideal - operating system can only manage so many threads, but it is pretty darn foolproof if not the most foolproof amongst all threadpool implementations.

As of today, it is in a really good spot and with tuned hill-climbing and thread blocking detection you would see the .NET processes have thread counts that more or less reflect the nature of the work they are doing (if you don't do any "parallel" work while using async - it will kill most threads, sometimes leaving just two).
Severity is desirable iff it's justified. I wouldn't ever sign off on a policy that says "you'll be fired for a single mistake" (that would be a severity of punishment out of proportion to the risk/underperformance).

But a policy that never provided for the possibility of termination (insufficient maximum severity) is also not desirable.
The FTC's action certainly deters behavior. You don't need an actual court order and armed marshalls.
> I’d even argue that collecting anonymous data is likely not possible unless using something like differential privacy.

I think this is undeniably true.

Aside from differential privacy (which is pretty weak sauce itself), the only way there can be "anonymous data" about people is if that data is aggregated and only the aggregation is kept. The collected raw data must be deleted.

The problem with that is that there's no way to know if a company is actually doing that. All we have to go by is what they say, and I think a strong argument can be made that we shouldn't believe what companies say just because they say it. Especially if those companies are the likes of Facebook.

So, as things currently stand, "anonymous data collection" is a misnomer and any time I see a company asserting they're doing such a thing, I think that company is lying. Or, maybe worse, deluding themselves.
They are very likely denigrated as 'obsolete technology', but like all technology there are use-cases where a particular technology works best.
Amazon has bigger problems with China actively trying to attack its business model from all sides!
> Does Nintendo benefit that much from the sales of the Switch hardware?

How many businesses does Sony have for income? Mountains. They could lose PlayStation and it would only be a dent.

How many businesses does Microsoft have for income? Well, they could literally lose Xbox, and it wouldn't even be a dent.

How many businesses does Nintendo have for income? One. And if they lose it, they're done. I think it completely understandable they would be far more defensive considering that gaming is a corporate life and death matter; unlike the competition.
I switched from VS Code to Doom Emacs last year (I had been using Spacemacs before that) and my Emacs is infinitely faster than a similarly configured (homologous extensions, etc) VS Code. So I suspect it might have something to do with your configuration?
Future of what? Reliable mass public transport is the best option for a sustainable future. We don't need car centric suburbia but with heavier and more expensive cars.
At present one can just submit a topic to ChatGPT and generate an entire article on their own. But that's not sufficient enough to fit the parameters of E-E-A-T which helps rank your page/post on Google.

In the above example, you are correct it would not be as relevant as it should be. But in cases like How to achieve X, it would be more relevant or maybe where a visitor is just trying to understand a subject that has nothing to do with listing brand names. I am trying to tap into long-tail keywords that can help rank quickly rather than the Listicle articles. Apart from that I'm also trying to customize different types of articles based on our current users who are sharing feedbacks.

May I ask if you have created blog posts which drives traffic? Do you realistically feel that as a founder have invest time into writing articles all by yourself consistently everyday for your website? In my experience, you really do not get that amount of time to dedicate for Blog generation & SEO. This has been the same problem with me as well. So if AI could help you achieve some part of it, why not leverage it to start driving organic traffic.

You're absolutely right. I'm not particularly familiar with LuaJIT so when I read the article I got the impression the LuaJIT GC semantics weren't documented. Looks like the LuaJIT behavior is well defined and the implementation isn't keeping its own promises.
Sometimes I write printf like this

I can sympathise with that; while I enjoyed both, they were a radical departure from the source material and non-trivial departure from the SG-1 pilot (which I only learned recently was initially a made-for-TV film).

Tea seems well intentioned but ultimately is going to suffer the same fate as every crypto project: abuse by bad faith actors.

Idea: GitHub should let you filter/block PRs that add or modify certain files. Set up the filter and forget about it, no need to close each PR.
well, it does make a difference in the perceived slowness, so something about your mental model of what nativecomp does, must be incorrect.

I compile Emacs from source specifically to get nativecomp because of the obviously perceptible difference in performance. Maybe you have a much faster computer than the rest of us?

These are the moments in life to cherish. As Ferris Bueller once said "Life moves fast, if you don't stop to look around once in a while, you might miss it".

Incidentally, one of the scariest things about the volatility in the housing market and in my (lack of) career, is that I may at some point be forced to abandon the neighborhood and city in which I've adopted as my home and in which I've befriended many of these random delightful people of all ages, and they might have to too. They're my community, I see them at the gym, the coffee shop, walking down the street, or at the park. A 1 bedroom condo starts at around $650k CAD, and most of the people here who haven't already owned something for a while depend on renting basements.
Im not debating the mechanics of why it’s so shit, I’m saying that they are many years behind everyone else and that it’s not obvious that simply throwing money at the problem is going to fix that for them or that they actually have much of a track record of making good software again despite unlimited budgets and many years of opportunity to prove otherwise.
Plain Emacs is not Emacs. Customization or at least the option to customize is the whole point.
> Not necessarily. It's fairly easy to prove that if the emulator did not exist, the leak would be fairly inconsequential…

Well, no. Pirated Switch games can be played on a hacked Switch or a flashcart with no emulation necessary. Common sense suggests emulation would be significantly more common, but can Nintendo prove that in court, or prove that the leak wouldn’t have happened without Yuzu’s existence?
But you realize that a small business or startup can't rely on "generosity" to avoid going bankrupt?

It seems that significant bills appearing without warning or cut-offs is clearly intentional. I am embarrassed that I recommended Netlify before.

I agree, but I don't think that's actually going to replace cars and it doesn't serve everyone, such as the people who live far outside cities.
