I'm not surprised that such stuff happens often, I myself know people who've worked in such factories and lost colleagues. What I find odd/unusual is more about how this occurred (occurs?) in an urban area where regulations should've done something.

Factory workers working in dangerous conditions and losing their lives is unfortunate, but their effects hurting/killing the general population (a-la Bhopal Gas Tragedy) should not be legally possible.

Poorly enforced regulation. Most of the cookie banners are illegal but businesses, especially large ones, have too much power to be effectively regulated.

The nags are kind of malicious semi-compliance, partly in effort to make the regulation look bad.
I agree with you, and I'd like to offer two additional thoughts.

Firstly, I believe that one of the reasons these large companies have moved to arbitration is that it lets them get away with more, even if they lose.

If they lose, they only lose money, but the case is sealed, and the judge can't issue an injunction.

If it goes to court, a judge can award more than just money- they can order the business to stop making certain claims. If they continue despite the order, they could be found in contempt of court, and that would be serious.

Secondly, I believe that only criminal liability when there is willful misconduct will deter white collar criminals.

In practice, that means if a company does something bad, their CEO or other board members may go to jail.

I believe this could be a huge deterrent.
Proving that your algorithmic design is correct (to the degree the proof tool can assure) is already a big help - even if your implementation of the algorithm might still have bugs.

I think not because all the concentrations were pretty low. The problem that Ashley faced was that she was exposed 24/7. But to me it looks like almost all of the gas concentrations would have been considered an A-OK working environment for up to 8 hours of exposure.

And while it's not wrong that fluorine is a lethal gas, it is heavily used in many industries and in medicine.

Her documentation shows a careless attitude on Apple's side. And there are enough independent parties documenting accidents that she can sue and win. But overall, this doesn't look worse to me than how many other industrial companies operate.
They are trained to replicate text semantically and then given a lot of correct statements to replicate, that is very different from being trained to be correct. That makes them more useful and less incorrect, but they still don't have a concept of correctness trained into them.

Free software is not just about potential freedom, it's about making sure that the software indeed stays free. Freedom is not quantitative, although we do speak in terms like more freedom and less freedom. In case of public domain, people are free to do whatever with the thing, including restricting its freedom. With free software, there are rules that prohibit restricting freedom. People who don't like rules can argue that this is less freedom, but history shows that a lack of rules only enable local warlords who then create their own rules, so, freedom with humans is something that needs to be granted somehow. And in case of software, it looks like the free software licenses are doing well.

I think I know which ability you refer to, as my fear when I discovered this was that I couldn't work as a software developer anymore (before I got a grasp of what had actually happened, it took a while to actually understand the extent). I used to visualize arrays/tables/graphs in my head (like images/fancy animations) and do operations on them to imagine how one could transform them etc. But I also had/have a native sense of "depth" to data structures, which I also used. That one can move around in a data structure in a sense, I'm sure you know very well what I mean. Luckily that ability is still intact, which I've been relying a lot more on lately, but I can imagine you being much better than me on those kind of tools. The mind is so extremely fascinating, and it's so weird to think of the ways we think of things.

I tried visualization exercises (there's a lot more to the story that I didn't consider space to add here) and the first time they worked rather quickly, so I regained the ability in the course of days. But as I mentioned in another comment, I contracted covid again and then it was even worse than it had ever been and training didn't feel like it worked. I regained a little bit since that infection, but got covid yet again (it's an awful disease) and then it was back to square one. It seems like something in the brain had to heal before I could train it back up, but I'm afraid that the damage will be/is so severe that it will not be possible to recover (especially since I couldn't even create images in my dreams).

I might get better over time if I just stop getting covid, but as isolating myself is out of the question, that's unlikely to happen. Unfortunately it seems much harder to recover each time. Since last time it's not really been recovering. On the bright side, my sense of taste/smell has not been damaged again, which has been great.

Well it would require more data which is the problem, and something I outlined elsewhere. Is she the only person complaining? The case is put forward as if that is the case. If that is the case then there is little evidence to discard the null hypothesis that there's nothing wrong and either alternate hypothesis that it's the Apple facility or the previously contaminated site seem very unlikely.

> The productivity boost is highly subjective

There is a quote from Apple UX designers/engineers about testing the keyboard vs mouse for doing stuff in the OS.

Apparently the test subject always reported that they keyboard-driven controls were faster, but the timing measurements showed that mouse were faster.

Chances are the keyboard feels faster, rather than being actually faster.

I'll add another point of view I developed while observing many LaTeX vs Word or Excel vs SomeObscureCoolThing(tm) threads: people will happily waster thousands of hours over many years to learn vim/emacs/LaTeX/SomeObscureCoolThing but will plain refuse to spend 20-200 hours (again, over many years) to properly learn how to use Jetbrains' stuff (IntelliJ etc) or Word/Excel/PowerPoint (or the LibreOffice equivalent) or some other mainstream tool.

I've seen countless time web-apps being developed in months that could have been an excel sheet developed in a week. People wasting weeks on their documents because after a software update LyX would not open the documents anymore. People (particularly in university) being super-stressed, wasting precious time and occasionally missing deadlines because they waster too much time fighting LaTeX to align tables or images because they refused to properly learn how to use Word (or the LibreOffice's equivalent, writer).

And don't even get me started on the plumbing of various tools together. Most vim/emacs user (and I say this as an emacs user) can only integrate other tools as long as there is some copy-paste-ready code, but they can't go much further.

So... Yeah productivity boost is incredibly subjective. And chances are it's also fake.

It's not too much of a big deal (meh) but I'm annoyed by the fact that all this isn't even acknowledged.

"In May, officials determined the company breached a 2021 agreement that had shielded Boeing from a criminal charge of conspiracy to commit fraud arising from two fatal crashes in 2018 and 2019 involving the 737 MAX jet.

Under the 2021 deal, the Justice Department agreed not to prosecute Boeing over allegations it defrauded the Federal Aviation Administration so long as the company overhauled its compliance practices and submitted regular reports. Boeing also agreed to pay $2.5 billion to settle the investigation"

The 2.5 billion sound like a bribe to me, to avoid criminal charges. And Boeing thought that was enough, but it seems they did not assume that the FAA was also serious, that they still need to "overhaul its compliance practices and submitted regular reports".

edit: we are talking about potential manslaughter in hundreds of cases here, because this is what a criminal investigation could lead to, not a fine for violating arbitary regulations

Thanks for trying to help! I answered in another comment, so you can see a better reply there, but I've been trying (a lot) of these things and the short version is that it seemed to work when my brain had been given some time to heal, but repeated covid infections might have made it permanent in my case, or at least given the prospect of future infections. But time will tell. My smell/taste survived the last infection(s?), so there might be some hope that it gets milder.

It's so weird, as I know exactly which "muscle" to trigger to make it happen, which I guess someone having aphantasia wouldn't instinctly know, but it just doesn't do much.

-edit-
Oh, forgot to mention, in the beginning when I trained on visualizing again (back when it did work), I got _so_ exhausted in my brain afterwards, it was like really trying to used some damaged "muscle". I find that really fascinating. I'm not able to invoke such exhaustion in other ways, that quickly.

Such as? Shaheds are used for similar goals as e.g. Tomahawks missiles.

I think a problem with insisting on this dichotomy is that we will see more in-between missiles - e.g. Shahed 238 is a development of Shared 136 with a jet engine. Is it a drone or a missile and why?
I'm sorry if I came across implying this is the case for you. It was more of an observation that the reverse may happen. If you're rather reserved it might be that people are trying to fill in the pause, because it makes them uncomfortable, but actually interrupting you. I'm not sure what to do about that. Maybe some non-verbal cues that you're not done might help, like using your hands to illustrate your point, and not lowering them during the pause.
My personal approach is to favour more universal tools, so would prefer using symlinks & then adding a shell alias (or a package.json script) if I want to make it quicker to type.

> You're using circular logic. You are assuming all physical processes are computational and then concluding that the brain is a computer even though that's exactly what you assumed to begin with.

No, I never assumed “all physical processes are computational”. I never said that in my comment and nothing I said in my comment relies on such an assumption.

What I’m claiming is (1) we lack consensus on what “intentionality” is (2) we lack consensus on how we can determine whether something has it. Neither claim depends on any assumptions about “physical processes are computational”

If one assumes materialism/physicalism - and I personally don’t, but given most people do, I’ll assume it for the sake of the argument - intentionality must ultimately be physical. But I never said it must ultimately be computational. Computers are also (assuming physicalism) ultimately physical, so if both human brains and computers are ultimately physical, if the former have (ultimately physical) intentionality - why can’t the latter? That argument hinges on the idea both brains and computers are ultimately physical, not on any claim that the physical is computational.

Suppose, hypothetically, that intentionality while ultimately physical, involves some extra-special quantum mechanical process - as suggested by Penrose and Hameroff’s extremely controversial and speculative “orchestrated objective reduction” theory [0]. Well, in that case, a program/LLM running on a classical computer couldn’t have intentionality, but maybe one running on a quantum computer could, depending on exactly how this “extra-special quantum mechanical process” works. Maybe, a standard quantum computer would lack the “extra-special” part, but one could design a special kind of quantum computer that did have it.

But, my point is, we don’t actually know whether that theory is true or false. I think the majority of expert opinion in relevant disciplines doubts it is true, but nobody claims to be able to disprove it. In its current form, it is too vague to be disproven.

> what does the above have to do with anything?

You said he blamed volunteers. Even if volunteers are blameless, he is also blaming IBM. Does IBM get to use volunteers as shields?

Can you quantify what "volunteer" means? Like, when I read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_Linux I see "Red Hat engineers, along with independent free software contributors have built most of the pieces for [Silverblue] over the last few years". Those engineers are clearly not volunteers.

Can you quantify how much of the development is done as a paid job, vs. that done by volunteers? We know that when people say that FOSS developers need funding, apologists immediately point out that most FOSS developers are actually paid by companies to work on FOSS. These people surely cannot be described as "volunteer" any more than an pro-football player can be called an amateur.

Can you quantify how much influence those volunteers have on, for example, being able to block a release until certain accessibility requirements are met? Can any of these volunteers can tell IBM staff that there won't be a new Fedora release until the screen reader works?

While on the other hand, can any of the paid IBM employees make that decision?

> go fund his foundation

How would my paltry ability to fund such work compare to the corporate influence of IBM?

If this issue were so simple that a few people, or $100,000 could fix it, why hasn't it been done already? $100K is peanuts to IBM.
