It’s society’s problem, enabled by changes in technology around AI and LLMs. We have the potential to build the world’s greatest repository of knowledge and what little progress we had made has been eroded in recent years by Ai technologies. It seems reasonable that chatbot style LLMs can help, but they currently do this by replacing a sea of web pages with a single corporate interface.

I think it’s worth asking questions about how our data is being used to fuel corporate interfaces to that data, who owns the rights to that data and those systems, and consider how we might maintain independent creators on such a system. Will iFixit still have the resources and means to take high quality documentary photos and write ups for new devices if everyone consumes that information via an Apple, Google, or OpenAI interface? How will you post a structured, expandable, localizable repository of your own data to share, aka how will you publish web pages and how will people find them?

I believe society will solve these problems via the actions of many individuals and organizations, but with certain organizations holding so much power it’s important to consider and inquire on how that power is being used.
I work in privacy (as a dev, so the breadth of my knowledge isn’t necessarily comprehensive), and to my knowledge there’s no privacy regulations that would prevent this. Effectively, they’re saying that the roof at a certain address is in a certain condition. I don’t see how that could be considered personal data.
Using Prison Architect as an example, when playing can you 'remember' the dimensions of the different rooms you've built? Or would you have to zoom out to plan an extension of your prison? It definitely sounds like aphantasia.
This is total garbage lol.
You can absolutely watch cars move out of the way when motorcycles with loud pipes come through...
Its amazing to experience on your own as well.
Bikes are perfectly safe. It's car drivers who aren't.
Its a chat app not a data store, so it fails the "primary purpose" test so its safe: its pretty obvious that a chat app serves a different purpose to a key value data store.

Nothing is definitely "safe from lawyers". In some ways BSD is less safe than SSPL - no patent licensing clauses for example.
In the hierarchy of road hatred, loud motorcycles are by far the most hated by all others (cars, pedestrians, cyclists, etc). Happy to hear there's no science/safety reason to encourage loud motorcycles.
Can’t really force people to do business like that…

What you can do, which the U.S. already does, is government-run insurance, socializing the losses among a population. Flood insurance, for example.
OpenAI transcribed over a million hours of YouTube videos to train GPT-4
The context of my comment is that JumpCrisscross is confusing the ability of executives to be able to control their employees vs being able to control their customers. The Hertz example is incorrect because it’s related to customers, when the AI discussion is about employees.

In making such a mistake, this subthread is no longer about AI vs employees, it’s about avoiding red herrings in the discussion.
What do you mean by “full height barriers”? Because in Japan, the barriers that exist are probably 4-5 feet tall, and pretty much are essentially walls bolted to the floor. I fail to see how those wouldn’t achieve the result while not costing nearly that much.

I look forward to all laws being written in rhyming iambic pentameter.
>Outcome-oriented design involves orchestrating experience design with a greater focus on user goals and final outcomes, while strategically automating aspects of interaction and interface design.

Dark patterns is another type of "outcome oriented design" where the outcome is the user subscribing/not canceling/paying needlessly. Adding "strategic automation" will doubtlessly just make this problem worse.
What has changed though, is that we’ve replaced our $10k/month Aurora instances with a $200/month Elastic Block Storage (EBS) volume.

Note 'instances' eg plural, versus a singular EBS. There is some ambiguity here, I'm not sure where the 10x came from, but it seems plausible.
I am still afraid of dying slowly and/or painfully, but over the last 57 years I have moved from wanting to live forever to accepting that I will die. Like you, it’s not a wish, it’s simply acceptance. Makes you appreciate the little things in life, too.
Man if this happened to me as a kid, I'd fucking learn sign language or start blinking in morse code. What jerks! They are asking for a class of rebels.
Hi everyone, Jerome here who designed eC 20 years ago.
Happy to see this momentary spike of interest in eC :)

eC is still very much alive, but it never gained much traction, as few languages without a major backer do. Our latest efforts over the last decade have been more about using eC rather than trying to make it gain popularity, as well as working on geospatial Open Standards.

Just wanted to point out that the project and language (and the related FOSS Cross-Platform Ecere SDK) are alive and well, and I do hope to find time or resources to address some of the issues pointed out in this thread.

Cheers!
This is not what I meant. But I prefer a fork of an abandoned project which needs to gain new trust to be installed instead of a new release pushed through an auto update after 3 years that installs malware.

The parent comment was not about someone from the community taking over (which to be honest was the case in the xz story) but about posting the project on a „projects without maintenance“ site for any random person to take control.
events with historical significance are far more interesting than these kind of movie/popular references that don't mean much
Chickens have wings at the end of their arms.
Here in British Columbia, our provincially owned insurer (ICBC) saved significant money because of fewer claims during Covid. They even issued a rebate to most drivers. Though they also noted losing some revenue due to fewer or lower premiums being paid. The amount saved was far greater.

I wonder if the difference was largely because of Canada's more strict lock downs. The roads were nearly dead here for quite awhile.

The problem is not the sprawl, it’s the out of control construction costs due to regulation and insurance premium caps due to… you guessed it - regulations
There are different ways to think about it, and I don’t quite get what you mean about 2 separate PD controllers, but that might also be a valid analogy. This is partly why I qualified my comments about the I and D terms with “sort-of” ;). But I’m also trying to boil it down to the simplest analogy possible, and I might sacrifice a little precision along the way. The mechanism and forces of PIDs do not exactly correspond to physical suspensions, but if you stand back and look at it, they are surprisingly similar at a conceptual level. The most important part is that the problems are the same, it’s a system that’s trying to smooth out the bumps and prevent overshoot. PID controllers are more abstract than suspensions, and they can be used in ways that feel different, but the basic problem is more or less one of absorbing shocks smoothly. Like your oven or your thermostat, they’re trying to keep the temperature you set and minimize overshoot and oscillation, even though they only have a binary on/off output mechanism.

Here’s how I think about it: the P term is the spring. In a physical spring the force is quadratic in position or “error”, while a PID controller’s P term is linear. No reason you can’t make a P controller quadratic or anything you want, but the analogy between P and the spring seems clear enough to me.

Now compression damping is trying to slow down or resist fast compression and prevent overshooting, prevent having too much spring force from accumulating on the rebound. Sometimes there are even separate high and low speed compression damping mechanisms (I’m sure you know that). In a PID controller, the D term is also designed to resist proportional changes from happening too fast, it resists change in proportion to how fast things are changing.

And back to physical suspension again, rebound damping is designed to prevent rebound force from accumulating. You want to return to neutral position as fast as possible without a rebound force. The idea is to balance 2 different goals: 1- don’t buck you off the bike, and 2- don’t let the suspension pack down and stop working. The PID controller’s I term does this, in a way, it prevents the pack-down by monitoring the average position and if it stays too far away from neutral for too long, it pushes things back to neutral.

If you’re paying attention, you might notice I swapped I & D in my analogy here compared to above. It can (sort-of) be argued either way, which maybe goes to your point that the analogy ain’t perfect, and you could maybe look at it as 2 PD terms. I think it’s best not to try to fix the analogy, but just to see it as a very blunt instrument for understanding - a suspension and a thermostat and a robot steering a car all have a common type of problem to understand and at least conceptually, a solution that looks similar from a distance.
Adding more lanes rarely, if ever, solves traffic jams for long. Why would adding those lanes underground be different?

If the answer is “robotaxis”, why build expensive tunnels? Dedicating existing road lanes on the surface to robotaxis then should work, too, at much lower cost.
While the answer is technically cardholders that not mean that the vendor is not eating the loss
Sorry for the delay.

I think what you've said is generally correct in that: yes, Aquinas thinks that making a thing better is possible insofar as its accidents can be made better, but not its essence since changing its essence would make that thing cease to be that thing. Your sentence analogy is apt. Aquinas does indeed think creation is contingent (though someone like Leibniz does too---it's just that Leibniz thinks God is obligated to actualize the best possible worlds as opposed to other possible worlds, but such worlds are still possible, and thus contingent.) The idea that creation is necessary is somewhat fringe (among theists and atheists alike). The idea that all things that are possible are necessary, modal collapse, is generally seen to be so untenable that if a consequence of an argument is modal collapse, it's almost seen as a reductio ad absurdum. This is the case for, for example, Gödel's ontological proof of God.

Maybe one relevant item here is that Aquinas thinks God is the most perfect, and that God cannot make creation to be as good as him---so while it might be true that God can make something that is better than a particular thing (by making something with a different essence), he cannot make something infinitely perfect (the only such thing is himself).
Yes. Here's the actual covered event from the policy:

"The Sickness, Injury or death of you, your Family
Member, your Traveling Companion or your Service
Animal. The Sickness or Injury must first commence
while your coverage is in effect under the Policy,
must require the in-person treatment by a Physician,
and must be so disabling in the written opinion
of a Physician as to prevent you from taking your
Trip (either because your condition prevents your
travel, or because your Family Member, Traveling
Companion or your Service Animal requires your
care);"
most motorcycle accidents involve only the motorcycle and no other vehicle and motorcycles have a considerably higher rate of fatal crashes due to things like hitting fixed barriers.

Betteridge’s law applies https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headli...
From what I can tell its actually 133, the rule not the law.

The first five pages are the table of contents, definitions of acronyms, and then about a 10 page explanation of background and what CISA is required to do by the law. Starting on 98 there is also an analysis, as required by law, of who is affected, what the cost of implementation is, and a wide variety of other details to inform the public on why this on rule and this way. That cost includes what it will cost CISA to implement the rule (e.g., CISA estimates that a covered entity would spend six hours per submission to collect, store, and maintain records ... hourly compensation rate of $35.19). It analyzes this rule for people who might want to critique it from a variety of perspectives and an enormous amount of potential impacts as required by law (e.g., its compliance with technical standards, energy usage, tribal implications).

Its easy to jump on these things for being long, but I would imagine the goal is to be thorough and precise. That matters to making this useful - as it does any law or regulation.

Doing government well is hard...just like writing good code or designing any complex system is hard. Documentation is often, and more often should be extensive. The headline is a cheap shot meant to undermine the actual rule itself.
Use your phone and spend your money on lighting and audio (mic and interface). You can make your video look very professional with good lighting. Bad lighting + expensive camera == amateur looking video. No matter how good the image is, with poor audio no one will watch it.

Fun anecdote that Gen-X Baltimoreans may recall from youth - "chessy" was also the name of a myth about yet another prehistoric-esque aquatic beast that swam in the Chesapeake Bay waters (1). Silly Baltimore:)

Working on medical devices. It’s mostly modern C++, it’s demanding, you need to write a lot of unit tests and documentation (it’s the law), and the specs must be good (well, at least better than other software), but it’s really fun and useful in the end, and you learn a lot of things that can make you write better software in other fields.

I really think every SWE should spend a few years writing this kind of thing to be better.
Very much alive, just not gaining traction.

The slowdown in development is mostly because eC works relatively well and the efforts of our small development team are spent mostly using it rather than improving it :)
It’s probably busy thinking about all the terrible things you make it display.

More than that, you can choose to go without a credit card. Insurance is mandatory for most people. Either the law requires it or a lender requires it in order to approve the loan.

Insurance rates are regulated for the same reason most states regulate utility rates. You can’t really opt out and the markets where price regulations have been removed have left most consumers worse off.
A really good pollution tax would cover noise pollution. It never seems to get enforced
If they really did save lives, you would think the highway patrol officers who rely on their bikes for their safety and entire professional existence would be equipped with them. No, this is just obnoxious leisure bikers wanting to justify their unnecessary noise they inflict on the rest of us.
I wish. AFAICT, that's the universal human condition.

One of the great things about ChatGTP is as a framing point — I can now use it as a standard by which to say: "this thing we all keep rolling our eyes at for its mistakes? It's knows more about this than ${person} does" (sometimes I'm that ${person}, helps point me in the direction of intellectual humility).
This is my exact setup and it's great. Several pros:

- Relatively cheap since the a6000 is an older camera

- The a6000 doesn't have the 30 minute hdmi limit that some other cameras have (this can be fixed with gphoto, but you have to redo it every time you connect)

- When you're ready you can buy more lights, and then eventually a nicer lens if you want
This is why you have re-insurance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinsurance

If the final insurer is the government, you don't have the risk of ruin because you have control of the money printer.
I do not, for a second, believe most maintainers would take money in exchange for being forced to follow good best practices in coding, testing, releasing, etc

Some would, but most are believing they would get paid for a hobby. Nobody is going to pay for a hobby, in part because it won't solve anything if they did

Once they are paid to be real suppliers, they will not enjoy it at all.

The vast majority of people who have ever tried to turn their hobby into a profession will tell you the same thing - if you want to ruin a hobby, add customers, standards, money, and deadlines.

While, like I said, some will be fine with this, to me the money thing is overall a huge red herring.
I don't think it's even that, it's just that most of the noise points backwards. So I can only hear them when they're in plain sight

The second most used was google/go-cmp but I also think it’s used mostly in tests. It’s a bit annoying that test dependencies are not listed separately in go.mod files. After that there was a bunch of dependencies related to AWS SDK, GCP SDK and Kubernetes.
Usenet, DDL, and torrenting are alternatives too. I wonder if Cloudflare's free VPN would bypass state based blocking.
I've worked on a variety of medical devices: CT scanners, patient monitors, infusion pumps, radiation therapy devices, contrast injectors, dialysis machines, assistive devices for the blind.

Last year I had to go to the ER it was pretty cool to see that some of the equipment was stuff I've worked on. I needed a CT scan with contrast, I had worked on the standards body that defined the protocol that allowed CT scanner talk to a contrast injector, and they were using the device I worked on with the feature I defined and implemented.

Its pretty cool to see your work keep you alive.
At this point the Roman Empire was Christian. The Emperor was no longer considered a god. They were now considered chosen by God to lead the faithful on Earth.
< > are used for template arguments, just as in the familiar C++ syntax.

Not a big fan of the syntax myself, but that seemed like the right decision at the time :)

I made an open source social networking platform that was used by non-profits like Oxfam and Greenpeace to train aid workers; the Canadian government as an intranet; the Spanish anti-austerity movement as an organizing platform; universities like Stanford and Harvard to teach; and Fortune 500 companies as a social intranet.

I had no idea what I was doing at the start. I'm very, very lucky that it worked out the way it did.
So how will they make loud electric motorcycles? As surely we will have to mandate those as well for the green future... What sort of alarm sound they will be mandated to make?

Flawed premise in their research. They’re saying you can only hear motorcycles within 33ft, which is too late to react anyhow.

The times when I’ve intentionally revved my engine to get attention, it’s because a driver was about to merge into me, and they were very close. In heavy traffic I’m often feathering the clutch, and pulling it in quickly to rev is an easier reach than hitting my horn.

Anecdotally, when I switched from a small somewhat quiet bike to a full size cruiser I had WAY fewer sketchy interactions with drivers. They noticed me much better, which kept me safer. I also find loud pipes annoying, but not as annoying as people in cars killing others with the inattention.
Even if the government ran the insurance program, you wouldn't be forced to charge everyone the same amount for their insurance. The Camaro driver could pay more for their coverage.
That's one, very narrow way of viewing it. Another would be that cars lack the necessary visibility to be safe. No one in their right mind would advocate to banning cars. Instead, sensors could be employed to make up for the lack of visibility in cars. This should maybe be the topic of discussion, to introduce these types of safety sensors as essential. ABS breaks weren't the norm a few decades ago, so why not start discussing making these safety sensors standard? One point of discussion could be what types of sensors there are, which vehicles they are employed and if they are effective.
PID controllers are one way to control systems described by differential equations.

Given a certain desired value of the solution they can be used to force the dynamics to converge towards that value.

For certain types mostly linear equations they are the optimal way to achieve this.

I have no idea why, but the topic is almost never presented that way. Instead people talk about valves and pistons and whatsoever, but in the end it’s just that:

You have an ODE and some desired value for the solution ; you have some control over the inhomogeneous part.
PID control is just a tried and well understood way of excepting this control.
That is an excellent way to describe the qualia of abstract visual perception.

I wonder if people with aphantasia have trouble with them.
Aphantasia doesn't lack color, it lacks a place to put the color and therefore color has no relevance other than descriptive. The ball is just an imaginary object, like an uninitialized variable. I can imagine that one exists, I can imagine that it would have traits like red or blue, big or small, bouncy or not, but I don't visualize it, and those fields need to be filled in one-by-one, they aren't defaulted when I imagine a ball, and nothing changes other than the description if I change them. A ball rolling off a table is more like the lead into a physics question to me than an exercise in imagination.
I feel afraid to ask, but considering HTTP is transmitted over TCP, why would you tunnel TCP back again?

Actually, nvm I don't need to know, you can keep your cursed ourobouros protocol to yourself.
I do not believe there are any restrictions on what 0-days can be sold to or bought by the American government. As far as I know the only thing resembling restriction is regarding export to non-allies which stems from the Wassenaar Arrangement. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassenaar_Arrangement

And I'm not entirely certain how codified into law such restrictions are on private citizens and companies. There is always article 3 section 3 clause 1 of the constitution where it outlines the crime of treason as "levying war against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them aid and comfort." Though I don't know that selling a security vulnerability to a foreign government would be considered treason or trigger any related laws. I'm unaware of any prosecutions or civil suits against private citizens or companies regarding the trade of 0-days.
