Who said I believe that? I surely don’t. I had a lot of screen time as a kid and it taught me a lot, for one I wouldn’t be able to speak English without it.

I personally do believe screen time ought to be limited to some extent, but that’s only because I believe being outside is healthy, not because screen time itself is bad.
The problem with such issues of data misuse is that people only provide 2 solutions.

a) Go off grid. Don't use The tech that these cars make.

The problem with this is that it is impractical for people that use see alot of value in using this tech.

b) Pass more regulation.

I am a Hayekian and I believe that regulation will not help with people that know the ins & outs of the regulation, also it's doesn't stop them. It just means corporations are willing to misbehave as long as they can play the legal gymnastics and pay rudimentary fines.

The third option which I see would be the best but isn't talked much about is the promotion, and installation of homomorphic computing or homomorphic encryption.

I am not a cryptographer so I really don't fully understand it's limitations. But adopting this would simply make all these data abuse issues vanish.

Cryptographers, why hasn't homomophic Computing or homomophic encryption been massively adopted?
Thanks. I take your point on the first one and have corrected it (maybe you need to shift+F5 to bust your cache in order to see it).

I am gonna be honest, I was laughing writing that part! :)
Before we start filling our atmosphere with theoretical solutions, shouldn't we reduce as much of emissions and consumption and possible?

We humans consume an insane amount of natural resources. We have built many of our societies around global interdependence. We produce a constant flood of stuff that is consumed quickly and discarded.

We could make a big impact simply shifting to more local economies. For example, a recent lead poisoning issue in the US was tracked back to apple sauce pouches sold at the dollar store. Little could be done legally because of how complex the supply chain was. I don't remember all the details, but multiple countries were involved from growing the apples, processing the apple sauces, packaging, etc.

We don't need such insane systems all powered by energy consumption. We just need local sources of damn apples for our kids to snack on.
Wet bulb temperature is the lowest temperature to which air can be cooled by the evaporation of water into the air (sweating, evaporative cooling).

If that temperature exceeds the body's max temperature, the clock starts ticking. If you stay, you die. It's not just very hot.

We were talking about technological breakthroughs/inventions, not market cap. Plenty of technological progress and research comes from Europe. Of course China and the US have larger, higher value _market_, that's well known but Americans in particular seem to love swinging it around.

I'm wondering if we'll reach a point where every 787 and 737 MAX will need to be recalled, completely disassembled, and reassembled with normal quality-control and inspections in place.

Honestly, I think more people should consider at least starting with an in-memory-with-snapshotting architecture than a transactional database architecture.

This is not GDPR. Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 is about how the European Parliament, Council and other bodies, offices of it has to handle information.

It would be similar to a federal law in the US that dictate that no information stored in the tax office, police databases or social security administration may be shared or stored outside the US. US citizens may expect that when dealing with the US government, information stored about them stays inside the US.

In the context of internal security and national sovereignty, it make sense to have dedicated regulation. It similar to how lawyers/doctors has more strict regulation regarding personal information that other professions.

Whoops. You've contradicted yourself.

I didn't advertise a robot picking up a remote for sale as intelligent. I'm advocating that we stop calling it intelligent when it isn't. You're saying it's intelligent.

So either you're ready to offend the previous commenter for their evil advocacy of selling an intelligent robot made to pick up remotes for an advertisement, or you're at odds with your point because you know damn well it's not intelligent.

My guess is the latter.

From the dictionary:
the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations : REASON
also : the skilled use of reason
(2)
: the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one's environment or to think abstractly as measured by objective criteria (such as tests)

This robot or ChatGPT, or any LLM theorized to my knowledge does not meet that definition due to the underlying technology not approaching "abstract" or "skilled use of reason."

It's pretty simply not addressing those items. There's no debate. It's a completely different approach to something that has nothing to do with intelligence.

And marketing it as such is frankly a legal issue, in my opinion. I fully expect the lawsuits to continue until marketers are forced to stop using that term entirely.

As an additional note, you've muddied up a lot of concepts here. I'm not sure if you're maybe not a native speaker of English, as that might explain a lot, or if you really accidentally made opposing points sequentially. The latter is a bit funny in a discussion about intelligence. "Intelligent robot" wouldn't refer to one that feels and needs civil rights. The definition is above for your review. It's very much clear, despite your protest, what intelligence means. It is, by definition, not subjective, but objective. And there are absolutely legal definitions with very real legal ramifications.

Also, you should read back through your own comments. You're not a very likable person, and I'm telling you that as a personal favor. You should get some help for this. It's critical for your personal relationships, and it's not very expensive.

>No one is here talking about how anyone owes one anything.

You were. You were describing what you "expect" from maintainers. That is the same thing as saying what you are owed.

E.g. when I make a contract I expect the other side to honor it. I am owed that because they signed a contract.

I expect people to not spit on me on the street - that's part of an unspoken societal contract.

If somebody makes a commitment, I expect them to follow through on it (even if they are not legally bound to) - again, part of an unspoken societal contract.

If I email somebody, I don't expect a response under all circumstances - again, unspoken societal contract.

What you were describing above were additional expectations you have on people who gave you something for free in exchange for nothing.
It's funny just thinking about it. Because if you are not depending on a third-party, then you are depending on yourself only. Which means that once you encrypt something hoping that you won't be able to decrypt for some amount of time, you accept that changing of the time has something to do with the decryption of your encrypted message. Since you can certainly know how much of time should be pass, you can't keep secrets from yourself right?

So, in a sense, in my opinion, if you want to encrypt a message and send it to someone and make it timelocked without a third-party, you might as well just keep the message secret until the desired amount of time has passed and just give it to him.

It blows my mind how European political leaders are so incompetent that they don't see any issue having their sensitive IT infrastructure outsourced to foreign providers.

They feel confident because they believe the words of providers or what is said in contract or "paper" agreements that the US will not spy on them when it is possible. Despite all previous examples of shamelessly doing what they wanted. Like when there was undercover operations to retrieve the fingerprints of political leaders.
Do companies ignore regulations? Sure, some do. But saying 'they will just pay the fines' ignores the fact that we could make the fines existential, or punish board members by kicking them out of the industry. The answer to 'the regulation we haven't even tried won't work if we do it improperly' is 'let's do it, and do it properly'. I have no idea what homomorphic encryption is, but rarely do 'let's add more tech to magic bullet a human problem of incentives' solutions work.

Mildly related:

I wanted to learn some Go and I thought "I will just reimplement my music library with it". So basically the task was to write a backend API that maintains a database of music files with associated ID3 tags, and so on.

The original backend is Python over SQLite, which works fine enough.

As I started to reimplement the functionalities, I though "why should I use a database anyway ?" and started just pushing the ID3 tags a list of structs. It turns out that having an in-memory list of structs for 50k music files is not a problem at all for a raspberry pie. It's not that musch memory and it's fast enough to create so that I don't have to persist it and it's fast enough to scan for a search.

In the end, I may use SQLite anyway because FTS5 is just so good, but yes... sometimes you don't need a database.
You're right, of course — there are parts of my codebase that flagrantly disregard these rules, and did so for good reasons that I don't regret.

But I've found that while "everything is relative and should be situated in the context of the problem you're trying to solve" is a useful truism, it makes for poor praxis. It's hard to improve existing code or develop newer engineers without _some_ set of compasses and heuristics for what "good code" is, and once you develop that set the patterns and strategies for implementing "good code" naturally follows.
Having a rag of cold water on you will cool you regardless of evaporation. It is a thing that is cooler than the environment. The water from our taps at least is a pretty constant like 50°F
I've experienced 30-35 degrees at 70%-90% humidity while cycling. It's totally unlike 45 in a dry climate.

The former makes you feel like the activity ceiling is much lower, and cooling down through natural means is much slower. Sweating just doesn't work that well. That was at a wet bulb temperature of ~28 degrees.

You double dipped, use outdated numbers "in 2020", hand waved, and still didn't get orders of magnitude difference.

Pairing batteries with solar provides actual useful power from solar for most of the day. You don't need both 24h of batteries AND redundant solar farms to get 24h of energy. Extremely redundant solar costs less per kWh. Therefore a combined system will cost less, provide more useful power, and charge the batteries at zero additional cost. I'll stick with batteries alone, but include that zero charge cost as part of a cheaper overall system.

Construction costs vary by country so you need a country with both battery systems and nuclear to get an apples to apples comparison. For the US "In 2023 costs had increased to $34 billion, with work still to be completed on Vogtle 4.", with work still to be completed on Vogtle 4, and that's just construction on two 1.1GW reactors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogtle_Electric_Generating_Pla...

400MW * 6 = 2.4 GW, 4h * 6 = 24h. 36 * 560m = 20 billion so well under that 34+B even before considering the cost savings from solar. We are comparing with Nuclear at 2.2GW which again goes offline for long periods, but we care about orders of magnitude so redundancy is a non issue.

Now you need to consider operating costs for both systems. In constant dollars without subsidies construction works out to roughly 1/3 of nuclear total lifetime costs ~1000 workers + fuel + insurance + new equipment + decommissioning adds up. I'll be conservative and double that 34 billion instead so 68B.

Actual studies look into foretasted costs. However for orders of magnitude 5%/year of install costs per year in maintenance would be equivalent to creating redundant facilities to cover 50% degradation in 10 years, so that's conservative as swapping out batteries would lower costs here. Lifetime costs should therefore be below 20B + 20B * 5% * 50 years = 70B ie roughly the same as Nuclear per kWh and far more flexible.

Now, you can easily quibble about these numbers but your not getting an orders of magnitude difference here.

Five priceless artifacts of the digital age that sold for peanuts
German here. I think this rather shows flaws in metrics than a remarkable productivity of Germany. The stats you see are based on:

- cheap Russian gas imports

- a hidden devaluation of the Euro within the Euro-zone

- a gigantic market for unskilled/cheap labor they've set up 20ys ago

- a great set of "hidden champions" that had a flourishing market in uprising China for the decade between 2010-2020

- the "Made in Germany" seal and

- network effects of all of the above

I doubt the German workers were/are especially efficient and have yet to see one of the local companies to use software as a gain of productivity rather than a byproduct.

Lisp is not the language for that unfortunately, it is very much an imperative language with better syntax and _some_ macros.

Scheme is close but quotation isn't thought about nearly enough. It is generally a CS problem as logic systems with quotation are very much an open problem. I think that types have gotten too much attention and quotation way too little.

Macros are basically a way to deal with the fact that neither lisp nor scheme have first class quotation which you can evaluate at leisure. I understand why they've done it for efficiency reason, but I think we should have at least one language that gets quotation right.
