>People who do believe in free will make an argument that regardless of the input state, the individual always has a choice what course they take, and is responsible for those decision

My point is that even with free will, you have to have some difference in input to get different output. Normally people invoke metaphysics, but even if you have a soul making the choice, it still has inputs (good soul/bad soul). It is a different object making the choice, but changes nothing about the choice itself.

I think the inside/outside of control argument is arbitrary with respect to responsibility. If you simply look at inputs and output actions, it doesnt matter what goes on the black box. It doesnt matter if it is biology, chemistry, or a soul, you still have a black box that takes inputs and executes an action.

A black box selects an action, no mater the mechanism. The black box is the causal link, independent of "control" or "not".

I'm not a philosophy expert, but this position reminds me consequentialism and Kantian ideas. I think it renders the different positions on free will/choice as distinctions without a difference. Doing something bad because you were programed to it is no better than doing something bad because you chose to.

It doesn't matter if the capos made a choice, were predetermined, or could have done different if they were raised by a loving mother instead.

Configuration changes are one of those areas where having some kind of "are you sure? (y/n)" check can really pay off. It wouldn't have helped in this case, because there wasn't really any change management process to speak of, but we haven't fully learned the lesson yet.
Could you provide the ref/details of this particular gene therapy and FDA views? I can understand why the FDA wants to move ahead slowly unless the condition is life-threatening or the impact is life-changing.
Because, half a century ago, it would have been built by a government research agency or a designated monopoly that was obliged to share it with the public, instead of the quasi-monopoly - that can keep secret whatever it needs to wreck your sh*t - like today.

We know a better way to do this ("this" being "the development of foundational technology for the next century of human civilization"), so of course it's frustrating to see the way it's actually being done.
I do agree that Blackboard is likely horrible. That's not in debate here. And their UX likely does suck. But knowing something sucks is not the same as knowing why that thing sucks.

And "number of clicks to perform action" is not a useful barometer on the usability of a product.

And I'm not dismissing his opinion because he's not a UX expert. And I'm not dismissing his opinion of the quality of Blackboard. I'm dismissing his opinion on why Blackboard is bad because he's focusing on the wrong thing.

Much like you and the other people trying to argue with me. They're trying to paint me as defending Blackboard. I'm not.

And I'm additionally saying that it's understandable that he doesn't know why it's bad because it's not his focus. There's no fault in that.

Whether or not I've used Blackboard is moot because I'm not discussing the UX of Blackboard, I'm discussing the use of the metric "number of clicks". It's a bad metric. Regardless of Blackboard's usability.

From the app's perspective, it's working fine, it's just sending commands that crash the device (and even then, the device recovers, but then it gets sent into a boot loop that drains the battery). Does Apple then need to test the app with the actual device, and revalidate it every time the device is updated? Do they need to hire the expertise in medical devices for such review?

I'm fine with more stringent requirements on medical apps, but that should be part of the FDA's review process. Their stamp should actually mean something. If it doesn't, the onus to fix it falls on the FDA (and by extension, the body politic). Apple not so much: their responsibility with health apps has more to do with safeguarding the data's privacy than with the reliability of the device.

Furthermore, if you think Apple is asleep at the switch when it comes to quality control, why would you give them the oversight responsibility for life-and-death-critical software? They should take a package digitally signed by the FDA, do the additional testing that actually is in their wheelhouse (such as data security) then if it passes, publish it as-is. Otherwise, back to the FDA.

I believe it was recalled due to risk of fire. There are batteries in both the keyboard and the PinePhone, yet the USB-C controller used for charging was not designed to support such a use-case (in which the PinePhone is being powered from two sources simultaneously).

small nuclear power plant would be the first thing sent to mars, or many arrays of solar cells. then pods of batteries, then construction materials, then equipment, then humans.

realistically, the assembly could be done remotely, and you would want at least two habitable shielded pods with a very large excess of food/oxygen/supplies stored by the time humans arrived.

This might seem impossible, but i don't think it's particularly difficult, the only major hurdle would be the budget. The rocket vessel will make a good living pod, the small nuclear reactor was studied by the US Gov in the 50s, so that shouldn't be a problem, except maybe cooling, but again that should be a solvable problem.

The sentiment issue is a curious one to me. For example, a lot of humans I interact with that are not devs take my direct questioning or critical responses to be "negative" when there is no negative intent at all. Pointing out something doesn't work or anything that the dev community encounters on a daily basis isn't an immediate negative sentiment but just pointing out the issues. Is it a meme-like helicopter parent constantly doling out praise positive so that anything differing shows negativity? Not every piece of art needs to be hung on the fridge door, and providing constructive criticism for improvement is oh so often framed as negative. That does the world no favors.

Essentially, I'm not familiar with HuggingFace or any models in this regard. But if they are trained from the socials, then it seems skewed from the start to me.

Also, fully aware that this comment will probably be viewed as negative based on stated assumptions.

edit: reading further down the comments, clearly I'm not the first with these sentiments.

I am not echoing it as fact. I saw photos with chopped Ethernet cables, and I saw the IDF's two videos related to that borehole. Those punch-down blocks pictures on the Internet sleuth site could go either way. It's fine to punch down Ethernet, and I have done so personally. I have also tested the limits of Ethernet's transmission range. It could definitely work within a few hundred meters of UNRWA's building.

The underground power cables referred to in the spreadsheet are for 220 kV transmission lines, which are completely different from 400 V power used in data centers.

Technicians don't need workstations except maybe for bootstrapping. Everybody uses laptops these days.

Why would the data center be sending power upwards to the building?

I love the idea of nuclear fission space propulsion. But, this concept doesn't look even mildly realistic. The first fission-electric rocket in space isn't going be f'ing 10 gigawatts [0]: it's going to be 5-6 orders of magnitude smaller, it's going to be conservatively designed and cautiously iterated, in a way that gets useful engineering data even if it doesn't work the first time (it won't). This craziness is an Nth-of-a-kind iteration you might consider attempting, >20 years* after your 1st success, after >20 years of sustained development effort. It's not a near-future plausibility.

*(Coincidentally, the first serious project was cancelled about 20 years before the present day [1]. That would have been an interesting alternate history...)

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter_Icy_Moons_Orbiter

edit: To explain my reasoning a little: 10 gigawatts is gigantic amount of violently destructive energy—thermal energy, radiation energy, mechanical and vibrational [2] energy—you're trying to squeeze into a lightweight, complex, mass-optimized aerospace device that needs to run unattended and without maintenance for many years, without failing. That's probably very hard to get right. There have been many nuclear electric reactors in space already, but remarkably none of them, in operation, had any moving parts! They were all solid-state thermoelectric converters. I believe the bulk of that design choice boils down to "it's simple and conservative". Thermoelectrics aren't impressive by any other metric—just simplicity.

Even the first, smallest nuclear electric turbine in space will be a majorly impressive achievement, for whoever succeeds at it.

If you trained an image generator, removing all instances of zebras from the training set, you could ask it to output images of a black and white striped horse and it would likely succeed. Then you could fine tune an image recognition model (also with all zebras removed from the training set) on the generated image set to associate it with the word zebra. If you then showed it a bunch of images of actual zebras there’s a really good chance it would succeed.

> The second amendment is entirely about state militias

I disagree, and I'm certainly not the only one; there has been a lot of literature on this. Obviously we're not going to resolve that here. However, I will offer a few comments, since you have presumed to imply that I have not actually read the documents in question.

First, it seems odd for you to say that the second amendment is entirely about state militias, and then refer to the Constitution, which is a Federal document, and which, as we will see below, contains provisions for Federal actions regarding the Militia, not just state actions.

Next, Article I, Section 8 says that Congress shall have the power:

"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;

To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"

Note that it does not say "create" the Militia. It assumes that "the Militia" is an already existing thing, and then says that Congress may provide for "calling forth" this already existing thing for certain purposes. It also says Congress may provide for other things regarding the Militia, but it does not say that the Militia may only do the things that Congress has provided for, or that the Militia only consists of those people Congress organizes by legislation. In fact, it says explicitly that Congress may provide for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States. That means there can be other Parts which are not so employed.

Article II, Section 2 says:

"The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States"

In other words, the President is not the Commander in Chief of the Militia all the time or of all the Militia; he is only Commander in Chief of the Militia who are in the actual Service of the United States, while they are so serving. That means there can be Militia who are not in such service, and whom the President is not the Commander in Chief of.

In short, the powers the Constitution grants Congress and the President over the Militia are qualified and limited, not absolute.
Indeed. How much more evidence do we need that in the end, technology always is at the service of the power structure; the structure stutters briefly at the onset of innovation until it manages to adapt and harness technology to reinforce the positions of the powerful. Progress happens in that brief period before the enshittification takes root. The FAANGS exist now solely to devour innovators and either stamp them out or assimilate them, digesting them into their gluttonous, gelatinous ooze.

OpenAI's only plan is to grow fast enough to be a new type of slime.

I feel like I have… multiple times now across many different comments.

Stuff like hm, maybe the children of child abusers are likely to abuse children not only because they were raised that way but because of genetic behavioral factors. Or maybe the correlation between test scores and affluence doesn’t mean that test scores are bunk or only measure affluence, but are partially due to heritable confounders and the “affluence bias” isn’t as strong as we think.

The essential point is that there is strong evidence for genetic heritability of behavior.

But regardless, the point of my original comment was to discuss the interesting difference between academic/societal taboos and commonly held intuitions - not to enumerate all the possible taboo things related to this line of research.
