Lol, look into the huge chilling effect geneticists face in their research if you want to see a substantive effect this has.

Combining your "searching for truth" program with a "purist political ideology" program is a bad idea. When you split facts down a political dichotomy, "conservative whining" is just a check engine light that you're blind to half the world.
While the article may detail various forms of deplatforming events, such as shouting down speakers or rescinding speaking invitations, these actions, while disruptive, do not inherently pose a significant threat to free speech.

Another thing to note... Freedom of speech guarantees individuals the right to express their opinions, but it does not guarantee them a platform or audience. Institutions have the prerogative to manage their events and platforms to ensure productive discourse while also maintaining safety and order.
I haven't read the article yet but I think that means that UDP was used less than TCP and so routers/operating systems didn't optimize for it as much as they did for TCP. Hope this helps.

Then fix your setup. Campaing for better browser defaults. Do whatever it takes, but don't add hacks with hardcoded (=faulty) assumptions to your websites.

The two words make perfect sense together. Reminds me of the "deep-fried memes" subculture.
Is that what I'm doing? I thought I was making an Orwell reference to imply that a peculiar kind of very public gaslighting he warned about is not confined to the slogans of 1984's Party.
It's always interesting to see the default argument of "u dont like it? just be homeless".

Where does that come from? I see it all the time. It's like there's zero ability to step outside the black and white. Either you must be totally onboard with the current system and not question the negative aspects, or you must live without dignity in the streets.

What I'm saying is we really don't need to be working 40+hrs/week in order to enjoy these advancements. People don't need to be made homeless in order for scientists who research these medicines to be paid peanuts.
Jokes on you, my Excel regularily thinks that two cells are not equal, despite both of them having exactly the same value and type (also no trailing spaces or these things). Copy and pasting it around sometimes solves the problem, but it never is apparent to me why that happens.
Did you read it in Czech? Apparently, finding a good translation is a bit of a minefield.
The question remains, what is "value" (i.e., money) that we can use to exchange for other things that bring us "value" (i.e., money)?
Water preparation, catching fish and making fire can bring “value” in forms of nutritional energy and bodily satisfaction.

However, our Western governments require us to have permits to catch fish, make fire.
Yet, employers do not want us entry levels working at their companies.
In California, they are moving the "goalpost" with the homeless people (not few are older folk where some of them went out of luck).

So tell me, is this “consumer economy” still a thing?
Bottom of the article:

"Consistent with standard practice, video recordings are maintained on a rolling 30 day basis."
Yes, the official stream is only on Twitter now.
Boss: "If you don't like the pay they can find another job"

You: "I found another job"

Boss: "What about loyalty? Are you a job hopper?"

You feel bad for some reason.

The morality we were taught in preschool largely serves the interests of the elite. Things like "if someone does you wrong, don't seek revenge, forgive them" are really helpful messages to have ingrained in society when you are a corporate looter with a name and a address.
The responsibility for making sure the default is reasonable for those users is the browser vendor, NOT each individual website.
I do wish the author defined what it meant. Heckling? Pushback? Public calls for firing?

Without clarity, it becomes a word that the audience is invited to read their own interpretation into. When this happens, the article serves the purpose of indoctrination rather than persuasion. This is because the audience now self-limits to people who already believe deplatforming poises the threat described in the article.

See “double contextualization” and “name abuse assessment” (NAA) in a literal banana’s article: https://carcinisation.files.wordpress.com/2020/06/extended-s...
>some deplatforming attempts are themselves an exercise of free speech, where people who feel excluded from the platform are trying to rebalance the debate by asking that we stop focusing on debunked theories.

Bizarre paradox where a group is disenfranchised enough in academia it needs to protest dissent yet it can consistently expel people from it for disagreeing.
I think it has to do with the observation that no matter in which directinn we look, galaxies are moving away. Its not like we look towards one direction and say, "aha, that must be the center of the universe". Its the same story in ALL directions - we wee galaxies moving away from us at increasing velocity.
I may be wrong, but from what I've seen, the majority of "prevention of other people from speaking" is done to people who are not really constructive and muddy the water. The article mention Milo Yiannopolous, for example. If you look at the person, it is quite clear that his contribution will not help learning anything, just spreading cliché and create polarisation that will both destroy intelligent debate and possibly push for unfair decisions that will have a real impact on people.
I wonder what would happen if the law required devices with unpaired parts to be available, but still allowing the sale of devices with paired parts.
This comes across as teenage thoughts masquerading as philosophy. “Neurotransmitters signalling pain…”. What? Massive citation needed. Words mean things. “People get sad about things, yet things happen” is thought-terminating nonsense.

Nobody, not even Tim Cook, considers themselves the Bad Guy. The real world doesn’t work like that. This situation is certainly more nuanced than you’re making it out to be. If you’ve been part of basically any discussion about this topic, you’d see that there are multiple sides. Starting from a position of “my preconceived view is correct and no other view exists” is intellectually dishonest and wilful ignorance.
Maybe if Sweden joins the list of adversary countries.
I was responding to the point that deplatforming is poorly defined. I was not making an argument about whether it is the correct response.

I find my FZ most useful, not for the radio stuff, but as a wireless (read: untethered) way to dump and write EEPROMs using a POMONA clip, otherwise, yes, it sits in a drawer.
My understanding is that most garage door openers do not use rolling keys, they send the same code each time.
I think the developer productivity tooling market exists at such high valuation because no one has really any useful metrics in that space.

I’ve worked in firms where we’ve bought into ideas that are absolutely based on cognitive dissonance - like the business cases across initiatives collectively achieving a >100% reduction in “inefficiencies”. That tells me at least some of those business cases are wrong but they’re all getting investment.

Tends to be a “biggest bullshitter wins” thing.
>> SIMA’s results show the potential to develop a new wave of generalist, language-driven AI agents. This is early-stage research and we look forward to further building on SIMA across more training environments and incorporating more capable models.

From the very beginning DeepMind has promised that its advances in getting agents to operate in virtual environments (mainly, games, e.g. Atari, or chess-go-shoggi) will lead to agents capable of operating in real-world environment with comparable skill and capabilities. So far, it hasn't happened and it keeps not happening. Now they added some super-trendy natural language stuff in, and it will keep not happening. If the point is to get computers and robots to not be dumb in the real world, that's all just a big waste of time and money.

Show HN: Five.Co - The fastest way to go from database to web GUI
Hi,

we're the creators of Five, the fastest way to go from database or REST API to web GUI.

We automatically translate your data structure into a fully responsive web GUI.

Our platform gives you the ability to model a MySQL database, write SQL queries, add business logic and integrations through JavaScript or TypeScript functions and launch a multi-user web app to the cloud in a single click (dev, test and prod environments included).

Typical use cases for us are building a database admin panel, REST API GUI or any kind of bespoke business software.

I'm posting a link to a code-along tutorial we've created recently.

Check us out. We have a free trial (launched today!).

Thank you in advance!

> A record 87 student-involved deplatforming attempts occurred in 2023, and 2024 is already on track to beat it — with 18 already recorded as of Feb. 29.

Maybe I'm just a filthy anarchist but I really don't see the issue with this. Not only because communities should be allowed to tell people they don't like to fuck off, but also because the telling-to-fuck-off itself is a valid political action.

A system like a University invites someone like Tomi Lahren or Josh Hammer to come speak, and often leverages violence to ensure that those people are allowed to come and speak - sometimes the state lends violence as well. Yeah, you can not go to the assembly hall that day, but ostensibly when you live on a campus and spend every day there studying and incorporating its culture into yourself, that becomes your community, and I think it's awesome that people reject someone else telling them what their community should put up with.

I think it's sociologically healthy for the community to protest when people like that come to speak, and I think it's sociologically healthy for our species that people with ugly, hateful ideologies face as much resistance as possible, in many forms, all the time.
I actually liked it more when browser zoom affected only the font size and images were left 1:1 - for a normal Desktop usage anyway.
I find it funny how filming people doing the building of a plane is fine for 30 days, but no way you can record for a day when it is being flown...
it is surreal how insanely the right wing of America frames this whole discussion, and how the notional "center" of American politics engages with it as if it is a good faith discussion of an important and consistently held principle.

are they genuinely suggesting that everyone has a right to speak at any university? and that the university has to let them? and that the university has to provide security, and AV staff and pay for catering? really?

who does it apply to anyway? anyone any student invites? any student club? do janitors get to invite people? how about professors?

or is that you can't uninvite someone after they've received an invite? really? how thorough a background check should one do before extending an invite then? what if you find out they killed their wife on the way to the school?

or is it that students shouldn't loudly complain about things they disagree with? really? if I'm a student at some uni, and some arseholes invite Nick Fuentes to come and give a talk about how he wants to gas the jews, I should just...not do anything? not complain to the administration? not go and tell him he's a cunt? really?

and how much force - physical and administrative - should universities use to stop students exercising their free speech to complain and protest? fines? rubber bullets? actual bullets?

what if the leader of Islamic Jihad wants to give a speech? Kim Jong-Un? how much is the university required to spend on security in those cases? infinity dollars?
I’m not sure anybody really wants them to exist (except themselves, obviously). Current law, more or less by accident, allows them to exist, and since this touches on the principle of openness in public administration, which is a bit of a holy cow here, any changes are unthinkable. My guess is that this situation will persist until slightly after it becomes completely unsustainable, at which point everyone will suddenly have been advocating for a change for the last decade.
Your alternative is more sprawl that will need to be supported by more new infrastructure that we already struggle to build out and maintain? I think we need to keep looking.
I had a coworker who had the idea of having a system that automatically compiling xlsx files to Apache Spark, so that you could have the easy interface of Excel while having the processing power of Spark to crunch bigger data sets.

He actually quit the company to build it; I should find out what came of that.

Yes it is. And a democracy under (quite literal) attack by hostile forces.

Ukraine does have its flaws, with the influence of the oligarchs being a major one, but to not consider it a democracy would just be silly.
Then what was your point? Why else reference the author’s reputation?
Inconsistently protected rights are not "rights".
One of the very few books that literally had me rolling on the floor laughing -- not exaggerating for effect here, I have in fact fell from the sofa on the floor and started laughing until I wheezed and couldn't breathe. Especially the segment with the military preacher whom Švejk was an assistant of -- and when he had to get him home after he got dead-drunk. My gods, I can almost remember how much my tummy hurt back then!

That being said, all the stuff about censorship and getting arrested for "treason" (basically for a political joke at the bar) hit too close to home for me, and I am from a former Soviet block country, and I found those pieces very depressing. Still, I went through all books -- several times -- and enjoyed them a lot. The author really captured a lot of absurdities very well.
Hi, quite some interesting ideas, maybe I can share my two cents as well.
- Indeed, I have seen news of Samsung docs landing up in an LLM response which made me realize that having restrictions in place isn't going to stop people from using the tech, but its important to be safe (especially when dealing with black-boxes like LLMs). Over general sharing, I always thought redacting is a useful tool in that aspect over something like this.
- Indeed, but this adds another level of complexity of OCR (can't use some kind of vision LLM since that defeats the purpose).
- I'd say its always good to start with a blacklist; over time indeed nouns or objects can be semantically identified (in this day and age even with self-hosted LLMs). But I can already foresee a bit of effort and a lot of complexity. I also don't think touting a completely online tool is wise for security. That's why this is an Electron app that can be taken offline too (i.e. what I intended for).
Developer Relations at Gitlab: What we've learned since our start
85% of the Australian population lives in a urban metro area.

It is not statistical noise in rural areas. Maybe where you live is different than what I have experienced in rural areas but rural America is not dense enough to always warrant building and maintaining connectivity like fiber. Sat. or Cell service is usually much more cost effective.

Sure if a community/city want to build out their own fiber setup, I think that is a great idea but I do not believe mandates should be required for companies that want to build out fiber unless similar to some areas in electrical grids you separate the concerns of running and maintaining the fiber lines and the exchange/connects.

Also you keep saying mandates but I think from an American perspective it was actually subsidies. If you are saying the government should subsidize the infrastructure I do think that can work but I believe its up to the local government to do it.

You mean "destroyed evidence".
I did desktop UI testing a couple years ago on Windows apps, and the standards solution there is to use UI Automation, which itself works by sending messages to each app that makes them run internal queries to find elements.

It seems like quite the intuitive approach, but we quickly discovered that due to differing implementations, and the reliance on the apps actually cooperating with you, it's actually so much more reliable and much faster to use OpenCV to physically detect UI elements by appearance.
The Death of Code as Craft
Your liberatarian dreamland example (though not reflective of any rural [public development] area for the last few decades that I'm aware of) is a perfect illustration of my point.

Even those areas with private roads [private developments generally] only have a single private road that everyone shares on a given route. The argument why is that it's a natural monopoly. But what does that mean?

It means high barriers to entry (often infrastructure) mean the first mover has an overwhelming advantage. Isn't that precisely the case with fiber, as you yourself were arguing?

So is provisioned fiber a sufficient barrier to entry to qualify as a natural monopoly or is it not? Please clarify.

Matterport is the industry standard for real estate walkthroughs, but it’s not cheap.

On the other end of the spectrum, and possible the easiest way to get something up and running, is the web version of SweetHome3D [1]. It is rough in some places and somewhat limited, but it has been around for ever, and still has a lot of potential. It’s also available as an add-on for HomeAssistant.

> Or, frowning upon sodomy, considering that feces are a transmission route[0] for many common infections. Same thing with advanced promiscuity and STDs. Or the importance of sturdy couples (marriages, Confucianism) for kids's well-being (see e.g.[1]).

But all these things can be explained and understood rationally without the need for a divine book forbidding things for frivolous reasons (or at best, without any stated reason).

Basically, people don't really need a bible to know that poop is dirty (a parent or a doctor can explain it just fine) but when the bible explains that one shouldn't put one's penis in another's anus (does it actually say it, or does it just vaguely talk about an ill-defined action called "sodomy"?) it doesn't give valid reasons.

So in the end, while religions do have a positive role on some aspects, they also encourage thoughtless actions or even actively discourage rational thought because of gaps that shouldn't be questioned, or outright inconsistencies.
> It's the massively toxic little kingdoms that have become established among power users/moderators.

I wonder how a distributed architecture where each king operates its own kingdom is going to help with this problem.

Moderately dense development - good

High rise developments enclosed in glass - bad

Plants on the skyscraper terraces - sheer stupidity and bullshit, used only for pretty marketing 3D art

If they made those high rises a 5-6 floor buildings instead, with no b/s trees on the balconies but instead planted them in the ground, that would be much more boring, cheaper and much more comfortable to live there.

Do they "consistently expel people" though?

The very very large majority of requests to deplatforming are not followed by deplatforming. There are _tons_ of university and _tons_ of people complaining. If the majority was reaching their goal, everyone would be deplatformed all the time. (there are plenty of deplatforming protests from the "left", but as much from the "right", just look at all the banning laws discussed in states like Florida, for example)

Also, why are they organizing a protest if they are the ones deciding of everything in the first place?

The answer depends, in its entirety, on the speech being shouted down.

To Godwin, if famous “author” A. Hitler gets invited to your place of learning and starts promoting the usage of industrial ovens as a solution to his Jewish Question, then you bloody well shout him down, and if you don’t there is something fatally flawed in your humanity. The point of the university is to educate the students; in this case their education should be in what kinds of speech are quite simply not acceptable, and what kind of ideas simply aren’t worthy of being entertained, much less propogandized.

The fact that someone is entitled to their idiot opinion doesn’t imply that they’re entitled to have their idiot opinion heard respectfully and without opposition.

Five year olds and internet commenters care about things being even-handed and fair.
