The internet is dead, by the end of the year most of it will be generated, including the comments here.

Both Google and Microsoft are racing to put 'generate' button on every single input field, emails, forms, documents etc.

Nobody can index and properly rank the amount of vomit that is spilling out right now. The cost per byte created is basically zero, but the cost per byte indexed is far from it.

Let them force censorship, the transformer will generate whatever they want. Just paste the policy in gemini's 10m token model and ask it to rewrite it accordingly, no harm done.

That's as far as I'll go since I am about to head to work, and I've spent enough time playing the game where I'm told to dig for articles by people who don't bother doing it themselves, so hopefully this is satisfactory. The deletion should be telling, there's a lot of retconning and memory-holing going on unsurprisingly.
I propose that the chain of causality goes:

pressure from people → pressure from advertisers → pressure from google → pressure on sites

Okay, let’s test that: try being the first one in the thread to do so and see what responses you get.
Those same links that require prior knowledge to know about them because there is a coordinated efforts by indexers to block information they don't deem acceptable. Did I sum that up correctly or am I still missing something?

And if you bothered to read the original post the indexer was misclassifying them and then threatening them based upon a misclassification. I'm not sure what kind of world you want to live in but I'm very confident you're going to get that world and not be happy with it.
> This story appears to confirm that Google sees ideological influence as part of their core mission.

Google isn't threatening to deindex them, they're threatening to pull ads on the site. This is likely not because Google-the-ad-company cares very much but rather because their advertisers are very sensitive about what kinds of content their brand is associated with.

Additionally, the content that is most likely triggering Google's let's-not-scare-off-advertisers alarms is most likely not in the content itself but rather in the comment sections. For example, one of the articles they call out as being flagged falsely [0] for vaccine misinformation and hateful speech doesn't mention vaccines in the body but does have comments that would get flagged to death on HN, one of which mentions vaccines in a hostile way.

So this really isn't a case of Google censoring Naked Capitalism's content, it's a case of Google's advertisers not wanting to be associated with an unmoderated right-wing comment section. We can discuss whether that is broken (for example are the advertisers less skittish about unmoderated left-wing comments?), but it's not as clear cut as you make it sound.

Yes. Also, Apple's market share in Europe is much lower than in the US. Many if not most Europeans wouldn't care if Apple ceased to exist today (or ceased to be able to sell its products in Europe). I certainly wouldn't. We have lots of options.
Manufacturing Consent appeared almost 40 years ago, and it complains about the exact same kind of influence. News organizations have always been highly dependent on ads (at least the ones that weren't dependent on being some magnate's vanity rag), so the reality is that they have always been deeply aware of how to avoid making the ads people too angry with the news they publish.

Maybe today they are more brazen in this intermingling, but it has always been there.
I thought this was an interesting question, so I looked it up. I don't have figures going back to the 1990s, but I've looked at the DfT's dataset on modal share NTS0409 [1] which has data 2002-2018.

Looking at number of trips/head, surface rail was 13 in 2002, rose to a pre-pandemic peak of 22 in 2018 and fell back to 15 in 2022. Bus (London + non-London local + long-distance) was 74, 48, and 37 respectively; motoring (car driver + car passenger + motorbike + taxi) was 694, 614, 512. Overall was 1074, 986, 862. So rail had a modal share of 1.2%, 2.2%, and 1.7% in 2002, 2018 and 2022.

The distance measure looks similar for rail: 482, 683, 493, from 7193, 6530, 5373. Modal share 6.7%, 10.5%, 9.2%. (I haven't done separate sums for buses and motoring.

So at least since 2002, it looks like rail has had a small but growing modal share of a steadily declining travel market, until disrupted by Covid to a place below peak but still considerably ahead of where it started.

Caveats: I haven't included the tube, and these data don't disambiguate light rail systems from 'other' (including flights). Rail remains dominated (like bus travel) by London & South East commuting, at least in number of trip terms.

That would be awesome if even just for tcp protocols.

> I just don’t get jazz at all. It’s fun to mess around on stage, and play free form

IMHO, that's so unusual in a jazz setting that it's almost always expressly declared as such - ie "free jazz" or "experimental". And even that relies primarily on preparation and practice to be done well.

IMHO, performing jazz is a delicate process of painting within the lines - so that you don't tread on the toes of everyone playing with you - lines you are all expected to know if you are going to get on stage and play a specific song together - while creating the illusion that you are all just messing about. And you are doing that while navigating a complex conjugation of harmonic structures, substitutions and alternatives, while seamlessly recombining the songs' melody with jazz idioms, rehearsed licks and runs, and admittedly, some improvisation, all while you try to say something new and original that your audience will be interested to hear.

So, you have to lean a lot on preparation and personal rehearsal (and group rehearsal), because you are listening, reacting and managing so many things at once that if you can't rely on muscle memory to keep up with the chord changes, and haven't sufficiently navigated several ways through them ahead of time (what if one of your bandmates decides to reharmonize some section in a way that precludes the scales you were planning to use to get through it?), you'll fall on your face.

Bumpy roads are the bane of touch sensitive interfaces.

Without any doubt, a driver will spend more time and attention trying to operate a touch sensitive interface than a physical knob or button if the car is bouncing or shaking at all due to road surface irregularities.

Not all roads are smooth highways (and some highways are in a horrible state of repair), so managing car systems without physical controls is almost as dangerous as operating a mobile phone.

We were a small team and loved visual source safe. I also wondered about his claim that he couldn't download a copy - yes, he was unaware you could allow multiple checkouts.

We were forced to migrate to SVN which I remember as being a pain compared to VSS.

The worst was our GIT migration. At the time it was not an easy Integration with visual studio. The process of migrating history was a challenge. We lost control of the process - suddenly GIT and corporate defined the process which for a small team was overkill and burdensome. The builds became laborious and time consuming.

This was years ago. I'm sure they've worked all that out now.

I don't agree, but I can't quote GDPR because it's much older than GDPR.

It's from a 2002 ePrivacy Directive, which is still in force, but on its way out and therefore less heavily enforced. ePrivacy Regulation is supposed to eventually deprecate it. The initial idea was for both GDPR and ePR to be enforced from the same date, but that obviously hasn't happened.
> What amazes and perplexes me is that Apple thinks it can effectively play politics against the EU and that somehow their customers will back them in the face of the "consequences" Apple applies,

Given the general attitude of many ardent Apple fans, I don't find this so surprising. Especially as while the feature is attractive it is not yet used by a large proportion of the customer base (partly because it is not yet widely used by apps, though it is steadily becoming more so).

I think what tipped it over the balance, so what they judged wrong, is the fact the braking of existing features was only going to happen in Europe. This made it hard for even the most cultish follower of the brand to paint the “well, it isn't a good feature anyway” picture because if that was the case the drop would have been universal. Counter intuitively: maybe if they had made the change globally, making it less obviously the result of a childish hissy-fit, they would have had more support from the core customer base.
> Even if you nail down the problem to exactly one representation, they still don't fit.

This is exactly the problem I've found with graph databases. I've never successfully used a graph database to solve a problem, and multiple other engineers I've spoken to have bounced off them in a similar way. The problem is I don't have an arbitrary graph problem, mine is specific, and as you say the choices a graph database makes matter. It really gives me greater appreciation for the relational model because so many things can be made to work on a relational database. It may not be elegant, but it works.

I think the way I'd like to approach graphs, if I do it again, would be to use a graph represented as sparse matrices in memory as an index. This is more or less in line with what you get from expressing the graph problem in application code, but maybe easier to understand and maintain? I guess that is to say I'm still optimistic there might be some general purpose solution like RedisGraph (now FalkorDB) that makes sense to use this way, but I'm not sure I'd try to use an out-of-core graph database again.

If they owe you back pay and they're not being transparent about their "equity offer" you need to take steps to get in line for your money NOW. Talk to a lawyer. Assuming this is the US since you're quoting dollars: if you're an employee, a complaint to the state Dept of Labor about back pay usually puts you first in line for money. If you're on contract, you might be able to get a lein on...something of value. Seriously, don't wait on this if you expect to ever get paid.
Car2Go and Reachnow both ended in the US around 2020.

There are some other carsharing services in the US in some major cities (e.g. gig car share in sf/seattle), but I would argue overall there's less carsharing now compared to 8-9 years ago. Partly the age demographics have changed, ridesharing (uber/lyft) rose in popularity, and carsharing in the us has had its share of profitability issues.

Peak carsharing in the US to me was around 2017-2018 (car2go, reachnow, limepod, maven, ...)

Leverage Points: Places to Intervene
I do remember this, though finding an article might be difficult or impossible at this point.

My recollection is that very early on (like the first couple of weeks) Fauci said that masks didn't work. Then later on once there were plenty of masks available, he admitted that he had lied because the medical personnel and others needed the masks more and he didn't want people to go out and buy/hoard all the masks. Basically the "noble lie" theory[1].

So I don't think there was any science saying masks didnt work. It was just that the person who is supposed to be our trusted head guide and Mr. Science himself, is a consequentialist more than a scientist.

Now for all the people (like Google) who censored posts and labelled them misinformation, etc based on Fauci's noble lie, I would cut them a little bit of slack the first time. But once he admitted to the fib, that should have been the end of his credibility. If he was willing to lie before, why wouldn't he do it again? Especially when it worked out perfectly for him?

Even then I don't really get it - he's clearly not tied to a specific location.

I'd be willing to bet that even a regular home (unit/flat/apartment/small house/whatever) can likely be rented for 1/5th of London rental rates, if you look in the right places: i.e., not in major cities.

Cities are expensive; Being able to work from "anywhere" makes it quite easy to make your money go a lot further, particularly in terms of housing, without resorting to being a glorified homeless drifter.
And yet that's not the brand of identity politics popular in Europe. The popular one is the one imported from the US.

I was taught the juggling notation site-swap around 25 years ago, and it's one of those things that sticks with you despite the fact that I don't have the coordination to juggle.

What really impressed me at the time was the ability to take something as complex and time-dependent as juggling and reduce it to a simple notion of numbers such as "53444", and that another juggler could take that string of numbers and produce a meaningful juggle from it. I seem to remember that even numbers implied a same-hand throw and sticking to odd numbers would mean only cross-hand throws, but my memory is a bit foggy on the details.

That a seemingly complex juggle could be reduced by abstraction to just a couple of numbers was mind-blowing ( To be fair, I was ~12 at the time. ).

In addition there was software which could then take any such string and reproduce the juggle, and that was even cooler. I definitely spent the next few weeks playing around with different patterns in that software. One of the other fascinating things was trying to plug random numbers in, they'd seldom come out as anything particularly interesting. You'd end up with a lot of patterns where balls were same-hand juggled to different heights.

I learned quickly that I was less interested by the juggling and more interested in the mathematics which let you reduce it down to a small sequence, and that random data rarely holds genuinely interesting patterns even if they first appear so.
Northern Europe didn't take off until the invention of the moldboard plough. The Romans took advantage of the looser, sandier soils around the Mediterranean which didn't need such a heavy plough to work. To bring the moldboard plough into fruition required the development of better steel and the breeding of heavy horses, something that was just not possible earlier on.
A Kant scholar once told me that the difference between Kant and Hume is that Kant described simple ideas complexly and Hume described complex ideas simply.

To apply that to Foucault and and Diamond, Foucault explored complex ideas obtusely and Diamond explores dumb ideas simply.

Sure, the academy has a bias towards complexity. It is slightly self-justifying. But let's not be black and white thinkers and assume that the opposite is true, and that airport reading by somebody with no historical credentials must be some secret truth the academy doesn't want you to now. It might just be popular bunk.

> feel almost like physical buttons

You're correct. But I was addressing GP's wording (emphasis mine):

> those 'haptic' buttons are real buttons

I was making the point that it's not a "real button" if, as you also say, it just "almost like" a real button. Knowing the M3 buttons, that "almost" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Press a classic hazard lights button, and a Tesla signal button and see if they really feel similar. No need to go to the vastly different stalk.

For any normal person a button involves not only the application of pressure but also the consistent feedback of travel. Things like Apple's taptic engine and similar techniques simulate already bad buttons with microscopic travel.
