I wasn't trying to make the argument that since some parts of the GDPR didn't work out as intentended/hoped, other legislation will fail too.

My point was specifically that the GDPR put a law in place that when you send private data from users to third parties, you must ask the user for permission and allow that user to decline this and then not send that users' private data to these third parties.

The idea and intention and hope is clear: that site/app/platform owners don't send/sell data to other parties. Or, if they still do so, are punished by having to nag users with popups/banners etc.

The ad industry then spun this around, ensured that virtually every site nags users (mitigating that punishment), continue harvesting data exactly like before, and -above all- pursuade the general public that "the EU is forcing you to click cookie banners all day" or similar double-speak.

With which I was trying to put forward that any legislation must be a lot better than what the GDPR did here. So as to avoid being circumvented by the industry and also hated by the public.
That's not the only hunting banned in national parks!
I wonder if governments should be responsible for paying some severances or unemployment in such cases.

For example when Covid lockdowns hit, businesses and employees affected by the lockdown received government aid because it's not their fault the government locked them out of their jobs. At least in my country.

Similarly in such cases, when due to political tensions and trade sanctions you end up laid off because the company you work for is now on your government's shit list without your fault, would it make sense for the government to compensate you partially for loosing your job.
It's convoluted for some reason...

I made a list of all the free resources I used to study ML and deep learning to become an ML engineer at FAANG, so I think it'll be helpful to follow these resources: https://www.trybackprop.com/blog/top_ml_learning_resources (links in the blog post)

Fundamentals
Linear Algebra – 3Blue1Brown's Essence of Linear Algebra series, binged all these videos on a one hour train ride visiting my parents

Multivariable Calculus – Khan Academy's Multivariable Calculus lessons were a great refresher of what I had learned in college. Looking back, I just needed to have reviewed Unit 1 – intro and Unit 2 – derivatives.

Calculus for ML – this amazing animated video explains calculus and backpropagation

Information Theory – easy-to-understand book on information theory called Information Theory: A Tutorial Introduction.

Statistics and Probability – the StatQuest YouTube channel

Machine Learning

I watched lectures 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13, and I skipped the rest since I was eager to move onto deep learning. The course also offers a free set of course notes, which are very well written.

Caltech Machine Learning – Caltech's machine learning lectures on YouTube, less mathematical and more intuition based

Deep Learning
Andrej Karpathy's Zero to Hero Series – Andrej Karpathy, an AI researcher who graduated with a Stanford PhD and led Tesla AI for several years, released an amazing series of hands on lectures on YouTube. highly highly recommend

Neural networks – Stanford's CS231n course notes and lecture videos were my gateway drug, so to speak, into the world of deep learning.

I've been using joker for nearly twenty years and it has always just worked.

I'm probably misunderstanding you, but when you renew a domain you get an extra year (or whatever) measured from the expiry date, not measured from the renewal date. Renewing early doesn't lose you anything (except a bit of cash flow). This is true for .com and .uk anyway.
The polygraph would be used as the “bad cop” in the good cop, bad cop routine. After a line of questioning where the interrogator/polygrapher suspects lying, or is fishing for more information, they might say something like “everything sounded good but the machine is showing some deception. Is there anything you can think of that might be causing these readings? Anything you didn’t tell me? I want to get you out of here, but we need to resolve these results.” If the machine does show spikes during certain lines of questioning but not others, for instance about someone’s timeline on the day of a murder vs their relationship to the victim, it can be a reason to pursue further questioning in that area.

Given all the ways polygraphs can be misused or abused, the only real use I see is as in interrogation tool. But given the issues with false confessions in general, I think the interrogation should hold less weight, but that is a whole other issue.
We had a Polestar 2 as our only car for about 8 weeks at the start of the year, we knew we’d only have it for a short time so didn’t install a charger to the house.

It was a total nightmare, we had to think days ahead to any big trip to make sure we had enough charge to get us through and if we needed to charge en route it was expensive, slow and difficult to find a working charger.

We are back with an ICE vehicle now and it’s so much easier.

It’s great that we are moving toward an EV future but right now you need a dedicated charger and also be prepared to massively pay over the odds on a per mile basis if you have to charge en route somewhere.

Also every charger needs to be tap and pay and every charger should be usable by any EV, screw those Podpoints in train stations that don’t appear in the app and clearly need you to be in some secret club to access.

Which problems people work on is dictated to a large extent by the need to publish to keep your job. There is a lot of incentive to work on publishable low-hanging fruit problems. Hence the abundance of “write-only” journals in mathematics.

AGPL is a lawyer’s nightmare. Not just because of the restrictions - but because it’s very, very sloppily put together.

Does connecting a AGPL-licensed database to your website make your whole website AGPL? What is the line between an innocent connection, or a viral integration?

What happens if you add a proprietary protocol to the database specifically for your app? Do you need to open source it, if that database is/isn’t publicly accessible? Why wouldn’t it be considered? Your project dependencies certainly aren’t directly publicly available, yet you agree the AGPL applies there.

Some have quoted the FSF about how “internal data structures” should be the distinction. But even that is something a lawyer could seriously bend - is JSON from your database, that only your app understands, such a structure?

The license is ridiculously vague in this regard. Not that it matters anyway - almost all of the big AGPL projects offer alternative proprietary licenses to paying customers, so it’s really more of a source available license.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply that we should not trust it.

I was merely implying that there's a major difference between the model behind TOR and that of Firefox.

And also similarities: if TOR is funded by entitities we don't trust and it turns out to work fine, then Firefox, being "funded" by Google should not have to be a severe problem either.

I use the iOS "Focus Modes" pretty heavily. All of them are set up in the "whitelisting" mode.

The "Personal" focus allows call and message notifications only from a set list of contacts and apps which are mostly OS-level (alarms, calendar, etc) and the chat app I use to talk to my wife and a couple important friends.

The "Work" focus allows call and message notifications from anyone, and the above app list plus some work-related apps (e.g., Slack).

From time to time if I'm waiting on a notification (e.g., the teleheath app to start an appointment) I'll just turn focus mode off and deal with the firehose until I see the one I need.

Doing it this way I can have the apps available so I can easily use the service/product _when I want to_, but it's never forcing itself in front of my face.

I really don't know how people use their phones otherwise. There's so. much. noise.
That's correct. No hashes; just string equality on the tag name. Everything gets collapsed to an integer. I'll have to read about why OCaml hashes things. Maybe separate compilation?

> I don't understand why the oil companies haven't gotten on board

Depends on the energy company.

Some like BP, Chevron, and Idemitsu Kosan began investing fairly heavily in renewables and battery technology (eg. ownership in solar development, owning and licensing battery and charging IP, etc) for diversification reasons.

Others did not, and don't want to end up paying competitors.

Furthermore, gas stations are themselves just franchises so the franchisee might have to eat the cost of installation.

Chevron owns Chargepoint so they were able to scale charging infra to their stations, but other competitors might not want to subsidize Chevron corporate and leave it to the franchise.
I have a kitchen phone and a desk phone (both VOIP), a Linux workstation, a DSLR camera, a radio, and read real books and play CDs. Also an RCA Orthophonic High Fidelity phonograph for 78, 45, and 33⅓.

Computers are nothing but free software. Had a mobile phone (a flip-phone with real buttons) for years but never used it, and just let it lapse, as being unnecessary. Never understood why so many folks bought into being abused by their handheld pocket computers, and paying for the "privilege." Anyone who gives MS/Apple/Google/Amazon (the evil MAGA) money is being an enabler for the abuse of others.
> Human desire literally knows no bounds, yesterday's luxury is today's basic necessity.

I hear this quite often but I don't think it's true. I don't think we've quite hit the stopping point yet for consumption but I mean you give somebody 2 Yachts and they'll probably try to sell both of them and bank most of that money. Like ask yourself what'd you do with a 100k, 1M, 10M, 100M, 1B, 10B windfall? Surely at some point you stop spending it on yourself (possible save it in a rainy day fund but w/e; consumption stops).

Of course you give everybody 10M right now it'll cause massive inflation as there isn't enough stuff actually being produced. However, GDP (adjusted for inflation) has been increasing so at some point we'll make more stuff than one can reasonable consume and at that point it'll probably be Wall-E world. However, we are talking about a windfall of 10M which is 151x the US GDP/Capita so assuming current rate of growth remains linear it'll take another 250 years for the Real GDP/Capita to be 10M (~1k in 1790 [1] to ~66k in 2023 => 151 / 66 ~= 2.5).

> If the prices for many products go towards zero, they'll become uninteresting and new products will be invented for which, for whatever reason, the price can't be zero.

I generally like the argument that price (of a competitive good) should reflect the amount of energy it took to create. So if energy becomes significantly cheap in the future I'd expect a lot of new goods to be cheaper than today's goods (which also makes it easier for everybody's consumption to go up). Of course many goods are sold by few suppliers and monopoly pricing reflects the value perceived by the consumer so there's a giant wrench.

I think this note also misses that there are idiosyncratic factors related to the Journal of Algebra. This used to be a quite good generalist journal focused on algebra -- the Tits Alternative appeared there in the 70s, for example. Elsevier greatly increased the page count in the ensuing decades and it's now mostly dreck. These are papers that might be good to have in print for the sake of completeness of the literature, but nobody is going to send an actual interesting result in algebra there anymore. - An algebraist

If you want to use Firefox sync IIUC you can define a new pref services.sync.prefs.sync.dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled. However this has always been flakey in the past for me. (I think maybe the sync prefs themselves don't sync?)

Now I install an organizational policy that sets the prefs. I use NixOS to apply this and it looks like this:

environment.systemPackages = [(pkgs.firefox.override {
extraPrefs = ''
lockPref("dom.private-attribution.submission.enabled", false);
''
})];

I think this is just creating a `prefs.js` file under the hood, so you should be able to replicate on other systems that you manage.

Edit: This is creating a lib/firefox/mozilla.cfg. IDK how exactly this applies to other distros.

No, but the representation of new year 2029 00:00 in a UTC timestamp depends on how many leap seconds happen between epoch, 1970-01-01T00:00:00, and then. If you compute the timestamp for 2029-01-01T00:00:00 UTC now, and they add another leap seconds in 2025, then your timestamp represents instead 2028-31-12T23:59:59 UTC. Depending on your business this may matter or not. Differences based on time zone changes may be even larger.

> The advertisers get your data either way, so why not use Chrome?

You might believe that the advertisers get less of your data if you use Firefox.

Similarly: you might be less likely to have your house burgled if there are locks on the doors and a burglar alarm, even though people with those things still get burgled sometimes. You might be less cold outdoors in winter if you wear a parka, even though it's still cold. You might be less bored if you buy/rent/stream some interesting books, music and movies, even though having those doesn't guarantee never being bored. You might be less likely to lose your next chess game if you practice tactics and learn openings, even though you'll still lose if you play Magnus Carlsen. You might be less likely to have a heart attack or stroke if you take those antihypertensives the doctor prescribed you, even though those are still tragically things that can happen to anyone. Etc., etc., etc.

Very few things are absolute and perfect. It's usually a matter of "less" versus "more".

This latest thing gives advertisers more information about me than they would have if Firefox didn't do it. (Unless I turn it off, which in fact I have done.) It doesn't give them very much information about me. I'm pretty sure they would get much more information about me if I switched to using Chrome (e.g., because Firefox supports better adblockers).

For the avoidance of doubt, I do think Mozilla should have made more noise about what they were doing, I do think there's a repeated pattern of them putting things into Firefox that their users don't really want and hoping no one will notice[1], I do think that says something bad about how Mozilla is run, and I would be happier if the Firefox project were run by people less inclined to do such things. But none of that means that you might as well use Chrome instead of Firefox, if you happen to value the things that Firefox still does better than Chrome.

[1] Actually, I think they know perfectly well that some users will notice, and they've decided it's overall better PR to do the thing quietly, wait for people to complain, and then say "oh, whoops, we should have been more open about this, we're so sorry and will totally not do the same thing again in six months".

> It's just a coincidence that prepositions serve both of these purposes in English

Not really… these categories fall together in a lot of languages. It doesn’t even require prepositions: a lot of languages have case markers which can be used for both location and verbal arguments.

The specific examples you’ve given are, respectively, called the ‘comitative’ and ‘instrumental’ uses of with. These two categories are particularly prone to falling together, mostly because the boundaries between them aren’t particularly clear: for instance, if you say, I made the coffee with milk, you could say that the coffee is accompanied by the milk (comitative), but you could also say that you’re using the milk (instrumental).
It's a good thing we don't have labs that do these amoral experiments currently. It's always by sheer luck that such atrocities always happen in the past.
