There's no right to privacy in the 4th Amendment.

But more importantly, there are huge differences between internet anonymity and the older comceptualization of a right to privacy, which has mostly to do with shielding conversations between people who know each other's identities (real names and addresses) from prying government eyes. Shielding such conversations from prying government eyes is not incompatible with preventing teenagers from using social media.

It seems to me Meta is simply following the old startup tenet: build something people want.

Sure. Broadly, a trade secret under state and federal law is "information that derives independent economic value from not being generally known to the public or people who can obtain economic value from it and is the subject of efforts to maintain its secrecy that are reasonable under the circumstances." Price lists could clearly fall under this definition, and they do! Here's an 8th circuit case where the plaintiff "adequately allege[d] that the information that was purportedly misappropriated— ... pricing information ... qualifies as trade secret[]." Ahern Rentals, 59 F.4th 948 (2023).
It is:

“It found living bacterial cells 1,626 meters below the seafloor, in rocks 111 million years old, at temperatures of 113 degrees Celsius. This led the authors to estimate that bacteria in subsurface sediments may make up as much as two-thirds of total bacterial biomass.”

> most people maybe had 16~32MB of system RAM on average circa 1999

For old computers maybe. I never actually heard of anyone doing an upgrade-install of Windows though.

I had 64MB in ... probably 1998 and we weren't even a computer-focused household. And your second link seems to back that up ("early 1999"), and that was a major improvement that basically obsoleted our old '95 computer but managed to last until well into the XP era ... huh, which is actually only the same 3 years apart, though we got SP1 which was a year after that.

This is fantastic. I'm in the process of setting up a personal mail server. I have played a bit with mailcow in the past but my new server is running NixOS, so I'm looking for something that has been implemented there. And happened to stumble upon stalwart for the first time today. A web admin will certainly make the switch from mailcow easier.

The other contender was getting nixos-mailserver up and running alongside postfixadmin. But with stalwart I wont have to do that wiring up.

Side note: I route outgoing messages to sendgrid.

I wonder what Caltrain is going to do with these "secret apartments" now they have been discovered? Allow staff to use them officially? Rent them out to the general public (could be difficult due to security issues)? Abandon them in place? Destroy them?

I wonder if the defendants' lawyers are going to try the argument that they weren't "misusing public funds" because they built them for a "work-related purpose" (e.g. have somewhere to crash after overtime, which might enable them to get more rest and hence improve their work performance), and if they do make that argument, whether it is going to fly with the judge and/or jury.
1. Neovim doesn't have a gui built in, and the ones that I have tried were kind of "meh." I've been using gvim for 20ish years.

2. Vim 8 added async support which, IMO was the "killer feature" of neovim. Built-in LSP is nice I guess, but LSP is often a bit of a pain to integrate with my workflow, and when I do, ALE (which I already use for linting) has me covered.

3. For more modern takes on modal editors, kakoune was by far my favorite; Helix had an impedance mismatch with how I edit text[A]

4. Lastly, vim and evil-mode are so similar that if/when I'm stuck in vim on a remote terminal, my muscle memory works great. With my configuration, literally the only difference (modulo C-z, which is the emacs escape-hatch) is case-matching replacement with "/" which evil-mode does and vim does not.

A: Though I must say thath when I brought them up to the community at the time, they seemed very open to addressing these issues; I had only positive interactions with the Helix community; people were super polite and nobody tried to YX problem me, which is unheard of in an IRC channel.

To me it was that all tutorials are very outdated, using deprecated browser APIs, and/or using packages and services that abstract away WebRTC (SimpleWebRTC deprecated package and service, PeerJS, etc...), and none of them using TypeScript.

So I wrote my own WebRTC app that solves all of those issues [0].

I really liked your book, but there's no code in it at all, and I'm a person that learns more by following examples and applying them.

I honestly found it a bit weird that a book about WebRTC has no code at all.

India is going to evolve as a manufacturing powerhouse it seems however a point of concern would be how this would affect the weather, pollution etc.
OP hit the nail on the head. Privacy and anonymity are not the same thing. You can absolutely provide privacy without requiring anonymity.

I can have privacy in a conversation in my house without anonymity. I can have privacy in the woods. I don't have anonymity while walking down the street, but have pseudo-privacy. If I begin preaching on a street corner should I expect anonymity? If I join a members only fraternal hall that meets monthly, do I have anonymity? Do I have privacy? To what degree? Those are the scenarios we should be focusing on achieving.

As OP said [we should not]...
> >elevate internet anonymity to a new fundamental principle for organizing society

This is probably the most important comment on this topic. You can't build a society on top of anonymity. The problem people should be out here solving is how to provide privacy without requiring anonymity. And when you have the itch to respond with a quick thought of "it's impossible," pause and think about how we accomplish it in the "real world" and then revisit.
Oooor, hear me out, that part could be a government run ID validation service (as in SaaS). Crazy, right?
A bone headed take if I ever saw one. Yes, society has rules. That's what society is. You can't kill anyone either, I suppose that's an affront to your personal freedoms, too?

Socialized medicine provides equity. It removes the cost to live a healthy life. It is a fact that society works better when everyone is happy and healthy.
You're going way too far in your reasoning, acting as if the state had to directly enforce it itself. But it doesn't have to: social networks are run by companies that makes profit doing so and that can be strong-armed into doing the control by themselves or be fined if they fail to comply (and we're talking about company whose entire business is about profiling their users to maximize their ads revenues, so they have zero difficulty recognizing teenagers, and more importantly content that is targeted at teenagers).

And even more importantly you're missing the point of why people go to social networks in the first place: because everybody they know is there! If it becomes cumbersome to access, most people won't go, and then there's no more appeal. It's not as if it was porn or stuff like that, that has a purpose on its own that makes people willing to circumvent the restrictions no matter what. Social networks are “networks” and if you break the network effect, you've broken the system. American people don't go on VK not because it's less good than Facebook, but because there's no point in doing so.
I think we should start with removing the immunity that large platforms possess against relevant criminal prosecutions. So let's take for example suicide, in some jurisdictions driving another individual toward suicide is a criminal matter. If evidence can be put forward in a court that they used a lot of social media and that the algorithm contributed to that suicide, well maybe the publisher should be getting prosecuted.

Do I expect that some social media companies are really going to struggle to continue to operate at their current scale because of these changes? Yes I 100% expect it and I think it's great. It may lead to a smaller and more personal web. Your business model has no inherent right to exist if it harms people. Maybe, for example, you will need to hire more humans to handle moderation so that you stop killing people, and if humans don't scale, well, too bad, you're going to get smaller. We regulate gambling, tobacco etc. to limit the harm they do, I don't see any difference with social media.

To have the biggest impact without stifling innovation we can start by applying this rule to platforms which are above a certain revenue level. There is likely a combination of legislative and judicial action here in that there may already be crimes on the books which these platforms are committing, but the judiciary has not traditionally thought of a corporation being the person who committed that crime, certainly not at scale against thousands of victims. In other cases we may need to amend laws to make it clear that just because you used an algorithm to harm people at scale, doesn't make you immune to consequences from the harm you caused.

I agree that we can't effectively manipulate the environment to eliminate the hazard, but I also worry that we can't effectively strengthen people to make them immune to the hazard either.

A common thread through all human history is people being misled on-mass. Before social media we were slaves to the tabloid headlines. Before widespread papers we were slaves to the pulpit. Etc.

For the last 10 years social media has been the tabloid but personalised. Outrage = engagement so the algorithms have pushed outrage, and personalized in the sense that they have searched for the thing that outrages each of us individually.

I fear that the next 10 years of social media is very basic generative stuff (LLMs don't need to get better; social media companies just have to apply what the current art), turning them into tabloid with intimacy. By turning into your friend in how they communicate with you, they get engagement x10.

The way to change someones mind is through intimacy.

And humans are suckers for it. We can't strengthen the masses against outrage, and we can't strengthen the individual against intimacy.

Sorry for being so pessimistic.
Thank you.

> they're being charged for embezzling public funds to construct housing for themselves

Did they actually "construct housing for themselves" though? They never owned said housing, I think at all times it remained the property of their employer, and I assume all their use of it only occurred while they remained employees. Now they are no longer employees, they no longer have access to that housing, whereas their employer is free to use it as they see fit.

If they'd used public funds to pay for the renovation of their own privately owned residence, that would be a very clearcut case of what you are talking about. I think this case is not clearcut.

Right. But as the article tells it, it wasn't even found in his possession; it was found with a bunch of junk in a park, along with some of his mail. Apparently his DNA was on it but then they admit there was doubt about how conclusive that was. I'm just amazed that that kind of shaky evidence could result in a 5 year prison sentence.

That will look real good, a parent decides certain reading and social activities are okay for their child, and now it's time for the government to punish everyone involved.
That would limit the total addressable market from 100% to, say, 1-5%. Statistically, legally, socially, that's not "defeating the purpose", that's "job done", instead.

Most people here should be engineers or at least analytical. No solution is 100%.
what content should be that secret
Other than feeding sensitive documents? I’m not sure. OpenAI has certainly gone out of its way to eliminate the need for local LLMs- they offer fine-tuning of GPT 3.5 and 4, so it’s harder to argue you might get better results from a local model for a particular task with particular data. Though I don’t have personal experience with the ChatGPT fine-tuning.

It’s fun running models from HuggingFace on my computer. Finally, something that utilizes my computer’s 64GB of RAM and 24GB of VRAM. It’s neat seeing the immense performance difference between CPU (Ryzen 7 5700X) and GPU (RTX 3090) offloading.

I think as with most “Cloud vs on-prem” arguments, it comes down to cost vs convenience. Building an application on Azure or AWS is as easy as it gets, but if money is scarce, you can’t beat on-prem for raw resources.

I’m writing a program right now that will query ChatGPT 4 with… A LOT of tokens. We project it will cost between $5k and $15k and probably run for around 2 days. *OR* I could feed that same data through a local model running on the RTX 3090 and it’ll cost like $20 in electricity, and take maybe 6 days.

I bet the unions are seeing pre-fabricated structures the same way actors and writers are looking at AI, technology taking away jobs. I’m sure we’ll see much more of this in the future.
The -turbo models in the past have been much worse too. gpt-3.5-turbo is way way worse than text-davinci-003 (gpt-3.5).

The -turbos are correspondingly priced. gpt-4-turbo is ~1/3 price of gpt-4, 6.6x more expensive than gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct and 20x gpt-3.5-turbo.

With the rise of IA, identity verification on the internet is going to be inevitable on the internet anyway, to make sure people are actually humans. But it doesn't need to break anonymity, cryptography can be used to allow for a zero-knowledge humanity or age proof.

Fighting against regulations in the name of anonymity is the best way to actually harm anonymity. We can have both (while we currently have neither in practice …)
You got me, it isn’t. There are other confounding factors; no driving, for instance.

An actual comparison would be pretty difficult for all kinds of reasons. But that’s part of what’s difficult about assessing something as vague as “whether people are being careful or not”, which is part of my point - this is something that’s incredibly hard to turn into a metric and (partially) due to this gets summarily ignored.

I must confess to spending quite a bit of time thinking about these sorts of things - the stuff that’s invisible to our current modalities of analysis. There’s probably something a little pathological about it.

> always seems to be some agile race to the bottom where we try to fix as little as possible as simply as possible.

Yeah, that's not agile. The entire point of agile is that you close the loop and the reason you break your work into smaller chunks is so you can deliver them faster in order to gauge the feedback of that chunk and better understand what should be delivered in the next chunk.

If you're not closing the loop, you're not doing agile, you're just doing waterfall with more bureaucracy.

Of course if you make sure your Time Machine disk is always available, you should never have local snapshots. I realize this is not always possible, especially for a laptop.

I wasn’t able to find anything fruitful as far as terminal commands or the like to disable local snapshots while retaining automatic backup function, but as others have said, the snapshots aren’t going to kill your SSD noticeably faster.
