That’s literally the option I was presented. Thankfully since, it’s a State government organization, I have “time”. But the more I reflect, and the more feedback I get here here, I may go this route.
Stalled? Wow. It just came out. Do you want a new model every few months or something?
What here are you saying is a myth? I've been a Snowden supporter from the beginning, but it's unwise to ignore the realpolitik of the current situation. It's not like if he starts saying things that are critical of Russia and draws aggro, he can just come back to the West without facing severe persecution. Based on his already having given up so much performing thankless patriotic service to the United States, I'd personally say he's entitled to just live out the rest of his days saying whatever the Kremlin tells him he needs to and otherwise just taking it easy. And I know that's a shitty position for him to be in while still seemingly having plenty to say himself, but that's the reality.
The article obscures the fact that this is PHP on Windows (I think, it's pretty vague). Doesn't most PHP run in Apache on Linux (possibly VMs)?
What disinformation are you talking about?

Does he not live in Russia with dual US and Russian citizenship?
Is he somehow more free than everyone else in Russia to criticize the actions of the Russian government?

I don't think Edward Snowden is a bad person. He followed his conscience and I can respect that. Now he is in a situation where his speech about everything other than the United States and its allies is limited.

Are we supposed to believe that him criticizing the US doesn't bring him a material benefit? That there's no quid pro quo for keeping him out the US justice system?

The events you've mentioned are WHY he is in Russia. The fact that he IS there and the Russian leverage over him is what makes me discount his statements.
Agreed. That’s kind of why I’m not super invested in fighting it.

There was the NSA who was spying on the public without warrants as a military organization, in contravention to the constitution. Probably they’re also to blame. He just told us about the violations of the highest laws we have.
Yup.

And aside from being NSA director he was Commander of U.S. Cyber Command, experience highly relevant to both OpenAI's security and safety posture, and to selling to government and defense buyers.
I think right now ai does enable code velocity, though the engineer still has to be an expert to direct the ai for what to write, lookup error codes, understand what the code is doing enough to make edits and ask followup questions, and so forth. The 'future promise' is having an agent-based model act as that person in the middle, e.g. Devin's feature release video. It's really hard to predict how far away that is from becoming good enough to work in the real world, though it certainly isn't here yet.

Sam Harris' podcast, "Final Thoughts on Free Will" finally pushed me over the edge into believing that we don't have free will in the way we seem to want to. In particular the argument that if you really examine your own lived, conscious experience that you call free will, you'll find it isn't as free as you thought. Random/stochastic processes don't generate free will, they just add noise to a deterministic system.

Just as importantly, I'm not sure that it really matters.

"Product designers" are also made fun of by the people doing the actual work. I agree that it can be difficult, but those difficult decisions are worked through by the people with their hands and eyes on the actual thing (or on the actual code), not by the "idea people" who spout off nonsense and expect their fever dreams to magically turn into a useable product or useable software by their little minions beneath them. No, their little minions are the only ones who actually know how to do anything, and the "product designer" is just in their way.

A "product designer" is someone who got daddy to fund their "gentleman's Cs" MBA degree and then posts online saying they have a brilliant idea for a company and they just need to find some programmer to implement their grand "Facebook for Dogs" idea and they'll graciously give them 20%. Someone who idolizes Steve Jobs and whose eyes glaze over when any of the actual fractal complexity of the world is presented to them.

Yes I think if the walls between Gaza and Israel came down it would be a moment like the taking down of the Berlin wall. Two people, ruled by the same government, finally experiencing the same rights, same freedoms, same status, etc.

Freenet is not a place or a website.

This is literally the same as asking "so how does the internet prevent spreading of slander or libel?", or as another commenter pointed out, asking how the global telephone system does the same. The question has no answer because the question doesn't make sense. It's a question that shows a fundamental lack of understanding.
> I thought block is a unit, just like meter or kilometer.

It is a unit, the distance between streets, but it varies widely across boroughs/districts in a single city or other municipality, and they aren’t really a reliable indicator of distance between different cities, though they are vaguely walkable for most places and people.

From Oxford Dictionary:

> (North American English) the area bounded by four streets in a town or suburb

> (North American English) the length of one side of a town block, typically as a measure of distance
Teaching kids to run down citations when they need more detailed information more than makes up for possible shortcomings of Wikipedia (if any, in actual practice). The greatest value of Wikipedia is that it is a launching point. That wasn't an option with our family copy of the World Book Encyclopedia. And Brittanica isn't really any better.

tl;dr for the lazy (but I'm not very smart so don't trust me): the moon and earth orbit each other such that the moon cycles between rising high in the sky and low in the sky every ~2 weeks.

Lunar Standstill is when our orbits align each other such that if you were to casually stargaze at the moon for a few nights in a row, it would seem to keep going to the same spot.

Pretty cool imo, but I think you'd have to really be into the topic to appreciate it. It's pretty obscure knowledge!
Sometimes it's better to be fired as you might qualify for state or federal Unemployment Insurance. Depends entirely on your specific circumstances.
Airlines are almost "lucky" in the sense that when they mess up training and processes, people die. As a result, they are somewhat motivated to fix it.

In other industries, we say "that didn't work, VCs, can I have another $2M" and are just told "yup, of course!" As a result, we learn slow.

Personally, I stole checklists from aviation and love it. I remember one week I was on vacation and we needed to do a complicated migration. I prepared a checklist for the migration, and someone other than me did it. There was no downtime. We used the same checklists for future migrations, and again, nothing forgotten, nothing missed. It may be obvious to say "landing checklist: gear down" but it's effective.

I think you’re a little naive if you don’t think this will become handy tools for management. We view its potential as two-fold from a strictly non-employee-friendly side.

The monitoring abilities will be better than what is currently available. But it’s not really something a lot of organisations is going to be too interested in. Everyone already knows you’re spending a few hours each week doing internet things, maybe you’re even playing some digital board games with your coworkers. That’s fine (again, in most organisations), in good organisations you might even be able to play a little with your managers. What would be interesting isn’t the DDR type surveillance, it would be if the tools come with automatic detection for outliers. This would help you gather information on poor performers and maybe help them get better.

The other potential is much more sinister. At least if the tools work out as we expect they will. In that everyone will basically be training their AI replacements. This isn’t going to kill the office job, but it’ll make the processes where we’re already putting in more and more RPA smoother and more rapid. Microsoft being who they are, they will sell these tools of course, and if they keep up with their current pricing… well… let’s just say that having a student worker move data is cheaper than most of Microsoft’s current data automation, so we’ll…

As far as security goes I think this is more about complaisance than actual IT security. It’s frankly illegal to monitor employees the way these systems are intended to do in a lot of countries, and I’m not sure Microsoft really thought that true. If they roll out the current system in the EU then they are going to get a lot of attention from the big bureaucratic dragon. They probably will regardless of how they roll it out.
The myth is that he ran to the enemy of the US to be friendly with Russia.

There is no reason for the Kremlin to tell him to say anything. There would be a lot of negative consequences for that if it came out and Snowden is quite literally known for being outspoken, and it would also be harmful for Snowden if he was forced to say something untrue.

Ironically our own politicians misrepresent the truth far more often than Snowden seems to.

But obviously he is refraining from saying anything critical of the very obvious tyrannical situation in Russia

Yes essentially they put the phones up high enough to get Israeli or Egyptian signal (since Israel shut off the Palestinian one), then the phone uses its hotspot to connect to nearby phones.
Why should they? When the only thing they should not have done was not shoot themselves on their foot?

They could have not consented to the eastwards NATO expansion in the first place, that does not serve anything in having peace in europe. But LNG from the US is a quite lucrative business, plus having a weaker and less competitive european economy. Their incompetence and inability to make any trace of proper foreign policy that is not just summarised just being dragged behind the US foreign policy is a major factor that fuels the far right rise last years.
No, I don’t think that’s correct. A person’s sense of meaning is often rooted in something social, but it doesn’t have to be. For example, many artists find meaning in creation. Not because the work product lives on or because other people appreciate it, but for the act itself.

That’s a very interesting model, I don’t think I’ve seen that before. Is the rust engine that sits underneath Python shipped as a compiled executable, with a license check/capability limitation?
EDIT: there is rust source code in the Pathway repository.

Another edit: there is license checking code in the rust source; it seems fair to ask users of your copyrighted code to abide by your limits, even if they are self-enforced, if that’s the implicit agreement in the sharing of the thing. Objectively.
The biggest flaw on your argument is that you are choosing to ignore that we are talking is a complex system that involves time in a grand scale. Like most things in nature.

You can't understand the dynamics of a colony by observing 1 ant. Similarly, you can't understand borders by focusing on who or when they were drawn.

Borders are the equilibrium point of the strength and culture of a particular tribe over a very long period of time developed thru their communal effort. Borders will move or disappear when a tribe gets too strong or weak. Its a process that has always taken place in nature at all levels, for all time.

You can choose to look at the ant, and the ant may appeal feckless and it has a very short lifespan.

You are just stuck in the wrong domain. We are talking about natural processes. You seem to insist to suggest this is a different domain.
> Are we supposed to believe that him criticizing the US doesn't bring him a material benefit?

Although you got downvoted into the ground, parent, note that nobody actually refuted what you said.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Snowden's motivations, propriety, loyalty, etc, there's just no question that willing or unwilling: yes, he lives his life at Putin's pleasure. If he did not have value to the Kremlin, he would not be free to communicate on Twitter/X.

This shouldn't be controversial, and those that think it is are being naive.

I think it will bring about change, but it will be a slow and long road. I don't think we are going to see instant results or changes in society, but rather something similar to the Internet and mobile, where it takes a few years to be adopted by more and more people and the technology improves over time, albeit a bit more slowly than early adopters are hoping for.
Regardless of your outlook on I/P, I don't think either side agrees that they currently do (or particularly want to) share the same government.

(That's not to assert my own view. But to compare it to the Berlin Wall seems faulty.)

The claim is "we don't know", with Russia only being mentioned as a direct counterpoint to someone assuming it isn't Russian titanium.
Slow at first. Then fast. Then exponential.
Interesting. I didn't know that. Do you do the conversion in your head, like 2 blocks = 160*2 meters, when someone use blocks in a conversation ? Just curious.

No, thanks. I’m not gonna convert my typed scripts into haskell abominations. We need more clear and straightforward code at the syntax level of the language, not more quirky slangs all over it.

Somewhat related, but one of my favorite philosophy books is "Finite and Infinite Games" by James P. Carse[1]. It contextualizes everything from relationships, to school, to business, to geopolitical conflict as a game.

My opinion is that it's easy to get the impression it's a bubble because of the army of useless stuff that comes out of it (including the horrific cancer chatbots)

But at the same time it is going to drastically change the way people work. In a very close future every single programmer is going to have chatgpt open. Every single marketer, researcher, lawyer, doctor etc...

It's a revolution the same scale of internet itself. Everybody was on google everyday at some point, everybody will be on an AI at some point (if not most of the time they interact with a device)
> worth compromising the design of a network

That depends on what the design of the network is.

In my mind Freenet is too free for reasons discussed in sibling comments (but in short, literally no safeguards against Not Safe For Life content, by design).

For me, practically, federation provides a far improved middle ground. People can still freely distribute content without being beholden to any particular middle man, but there is more visibility afforded to node operators about what they're hosting and they therefore can both remove content that they don't want to be hosting and remove users from their network who are making problems.

Gossip protocols are another solution which also works for similar reasons.

Ultimately, anonymity is an anti-pattern in the same way that the hot new zero-trust stuff is in the blockchain world. Humans, social beings that they are, fundamentally operate on trust, which fundamentally requires identification. Removing either of those creates more problems than it solves.
Saying the US pressured Russia into Ukraine is not an opinion.
It isn’t. If it was a false dichotomy everyone would just work from airgapped systems because there’s no trade off.

I think a "syntax for lifetimes on places" (2) is really neat and would make lifetimes much easier to reason about, by removing the indirection and being explicit about where the borrow is from in the declaration makes the intention much clearer.

But my personal favorite is the point about "internal references" as I struggled with this a couple of times. I think this would be an excellent improvement. In the end I used ouroborous [1] to achieve this but having it built in to the language would be excellent.
