BTW, you can't get bürgergeld and Wohngeld at the same time, so that's already completely wrong. See https://www.arbeitsagentur.de/arbeitslos-arbeit-finden/buerg... :

Wenn Sie Bürgergeld erhalten, haben Sie keinen Anspruch auf Wohngeld. Allerdings ist Wohngeld eine vorrangige Leistung. Wenn Sie dadurch Ihre Hilfebedürftigkeit beseitigen oder vermeiden können, können Sie einen Wohngeldantrag stellen (ab dem 1. Juli 2023 sind Sie verpflichtet, einen Wohngeldantrag zu stellen).
PS: Even the conscious consumers loose, as they spend a ton of time at minimum wage scrolling prices for goods and services. Basically, yes, you get pay less, but for that you have to work 24/7 in the mine-defusing sweatshop.
I built something similar for research papers (https://paperpilot.app). I like how clean the UI is :)
It's much more narrow than that, if you read it.

It appears to be "knowingly make the naughty picture and also know that it's directly tied to a person and that it's naughty"
Ugh it's absurd at how incompetent Google is at filtering out "related" content or similar volatile "sidebar" feeds in the sitesthey index that has nothing to do with the main content and won't be there when the user actually opens that link.
You need to do it only once (if you didn't do it at install time), not every snapshot.
> “(A) IN GENERAL.—The term ‘digital forgery’ means any intimate visual depiction of an identifiable individual created through the use of software, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or any other computer-generated or technological means, including by adapting, modifying, manipulating, or altering an authentic visual depiction, that, when viewed as a whole by a reasonable person, is indistinguishable from an authentic visual depiction of the individual.

For reference, the definition from the bill.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/369...

For those not familiar with reading US congressional legislation, there’s usually a short statement of purpose, a bunch of stuff about what Congress is thinking (or claiming to think) about the topic and their motivation for the law, then you get some definitions that will matter for the law itself (the explanatory preamble may contain things that look like definitions, but they matter less than the ones in the law proper), then the meat of the law.

>Who keeps pushing these

The Powers That Be(tm).

There is a reason Congress enjoys next to no approval and the government-at-large are given derogatory nicknames like The Swamp.

Of course, ultimately we are also the ones who vote the swamp lizards in. So it is in fact us the people pushing for these.

Neutron stars are made of a solar mass of neutrons and protons packed so tightly together that they're almost like a single giant nucleus. They can collide and shatter into countless particles of every imaginable heavy element. Of course most of these quickly decay but they decay into other heavier things that are more stable. This is possibly where heavy elements in our solar system such as uranium, platinum and gold came from. If we could visit Earth shortly after its formation 4.5 billion years ago maybe we'd see trace amounts of even more exotic elements! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star_merger#Distributi...

Yeah, object orientation isn't just a language feature, it's a pattern for structuring interaction with data.

And as for object orientation being less useful in immutable languages, I see it used plenty.

Erlang and haskell both define dictionary types that return new copies of the dictionary on what would normally be mutating function calls. The dictionary's gory details are hidden behind the object's mask, leaving the user free to ignore if it is a hash into an array of arrays, as many dicts used to be and as allows sharing most of the entries between copies of the dict until resizing, or maybe it's actually a balanced tree or just an a-list.

The outer code doesn't need to know because you create and manipulate the dictionary abstractly through helper functions, be they attached via the language or simply exposed while leaving the implementation opaque.

Object orientation will also be used to hide the implementations of files, sockets, and other abstract resources.

Many interfaces throughout the linux kernel use a plain C form of object orientation, a language which is definitely not object oriented on its own, filling out an 'interface' structure with functions to be used for objects originating from a particular area, allowing the kernel to interact abstractly with filesystems via the function pointers in the struct, for example.
I'm guessing you mean a child-porn related crime here, which -- maybe -- but we're still in the process of determining whether the other crime/tort did, which would be copyright infringement.

> That’s weird because you’ve been able to use their embedded web maps for a few years now just fine with Firefox. Wonder what gotcha they ran into implementing the full thing that needed a browser check?

Likely nothing. "Unsupported" messages like that are usually not written based on what the website/webapp can run on, but rather what they have/not have testing for. So if they're only testing it on Windows/macOS/Chrome/Safari, even if their developers probably confirmed it works in Firefox/Linux, they'll add that message/block as their QA doesn't include Firefox or Linux.
I'm in my 30s and I am interact a lot with discord. I agree gamedev is one last large scale space where interesting things happen.

But overall people are just trying to optimize total compensation and bend over backwards to get into FAANG. Imagine telling us to get into IBM back in the day.

So things have definitely changed. The punk spirit has also been lost. Normies have arrived. It's good for the normies, but we won't get a Napster again.
I'd like to know where that is because I've watched as a lot of major 3rd-party Java libraries switch to Gradle from Maven.
> a measure certain to seriously restrict free speech and privacy online for _everyone_ .

I'm not saying I like KOSA, but my reading is it explicitly does not apply to adult-only services (who make reasonable steps to enforce this). If, for example, WhatsApp split into an "open network" and a "verified 18+ network" then the latter would be ok for KOSA even if the latter is used for general chat and not just porn and sexting. It would even be a start if they enforced the, mostly theoretical, 13 lower age limit for meta products.

(Lest anyone think this is unrealistic, in Israel there are already separate phones and services only for the ultra-orthodox, so they don't encounter anything "unholy" there.)

(And fetlife will probably carry on as usual.)

Personally, I wish more of the reaction to unreasonable "think of the children" plans would be to reply with reasonable plans. If the choice is between doing too much and doing nothing at all, we'll end up with too much somewhere down the line.
Overhauled Composition–Oban Pro Launch Week
The Unicode Collation algorithm doesn't look fun to implement in radix sort, but not entirely impossible either. They do note that some characters are contextual, an example they give is that CH can be treated as a single character that sorts after C (so also after CZ). Technically that is still lexicographical, but not byte-for-byte.
He does not? The article is saying the contrary:

Where’d you read that in the law?
I wanted to understand what you wrote better so I rewrote it:

You can't be sure that a lancet won't attack you just by the economics alone. Just because the price of a drone exceeds the price of its target doesn't mean there won't sometimes be expensive drones attacking cheap targets.

Maybe drones can improve their cost-efficiency by targeting stuff that has RF emissions.

Your writing reminds me of how I write when I have taken too much Vyvanse, I don't mean it in an offensive way but I'm kind of curious if you take stimulants.
So... this is only an issue with forking, right? And, forking is not the same thing as branching... right? I'm just trying to make sure I understand this since I do branching all the time, but have never forked anything.
Looks like a promising tool and workflow to mitigate the risks we are discussing here. If you haven’t already done so, it might help the discussion here if you could highlight how this app deals with the issues outlined. Is the intent of the mirror repo creation that it’s more-or-less equivalent to “git clone —mirror”? I took a quick look at the code, and didn’t see a direct correspondence with “git clone —mirror” when creating the mirror repository.
It's about fast-twitch vs slow-twitch kinds of muscle fibers: the former are good for strength, the latter for endurance. We evolved to be distance runners, so our muscle composition changed, decreasing our strength.
Who you calling a shmuck? /s

I have most household items on subscription. It saves a ton of time and costs about the same, maybe a little less for some items. And most importantly, it means I never forget something and then have to make another trip.
The system is not perfectly efficient because humans aren’t efficient. I think the idea is, keeping a market relatively free (with a sane amount of regulation) allows capital to seek returns. This leads to a lot of independent, decentralized value production, like startups popping up out of nowhere because some founders have an idea and attract capital.

The thing is, people who pile up capital don’t have to be efficient with it. They can basically do whatever they want with their money. They can build giant vanity estates, which you could certainly call inefficient — who needs 20,000 square feet for a family of 3? But… we also care about freedom, so we let people do inefficient things. The only difference between rich people and poor people is they have more money so their inefficiencies are louder. But everybody spends money on senseless wants and vanity. Who needs manicures and hair extensions? Arguably nobody. The “poor” spend on vanity too. And we let them because we care about freedom.

If you wanted to implement a perfectly-efficient system, would that mean banning the fulfillment of any desire that wasn’t strictly a need? I don’t think anyone would want to live in such a system.
> It’s cheaper to build lots of identical things.

Yeah, just have them build lots of nice-looking identical things.
I think we are trying to define the word "delete". You found an archaic definition and are trying to use it in a modern technical setting. You've claimed that modern databases delete without actually removing data but haven't pointed to which systems you are talking about. I'm familiar with tombstoning, either as a "soft-delete" or as part of an eventual deletion process. But I've never seen that called deletion as that would be very confusing.

Pointing to which database you are talking about should clear this up quickly.

I don't think it's reasonable to talk about backups here. A backup is external to the database so it inherently cannot delete it. Similar to how a piece of paper cannot destroy a photograph of the paper, but burning the paper destroys it.
I don't think the bill says anything about receiving, but it says "solicitation or possession." So if you receive such an image against your will, delete it. Same as CP, I guess.
This is a problem in general with a whole bunch of products.

If I'm paying up-front, the subscription needs to be an optional add-on that provides additional value. The thing should continue working at some base level for its working lifetime, even if I cancel or the service is shut down.

If the "base level" on the thing I bought is ever changed after my purchase, the company has burned their trust with me. In fact I'll probably switch away and never buy anything from them again.

On the other hand, if they want to build it so a subscription is required to work at all, then I don't want to buy the hardware that I clearly don't actually "own" anyway. It's fair to require paying up-front for a year or two (eg: cell plans) or have a contract requiring a minimum term because obviously the hardware costs something to produce, but in this type of business the product is really the subscription, and the device is just the means of delivery.
Macros are more abstract, one meta level up, hence errors are more difficult to relate to code and reason about. They are also more powerful, so errors can have dramatic consequences.

Any kind of code generation setup will have the same characteristics.

Sloppy macros clashing with local names can lead to pretty long debug sessions, but it's the first thing you learn to avoid.

And you're basically inventing your own ad hoc programming language to some extent, the effort spent on error handling tend to not live up to those requirements.

All of that being said, I wouldn't trade them for anything, and I haven't seen any convincing alternatives to Lisp for the full experience.
> Also, Apple makes an absolute mess when contributing to the OpenStreetMap project. For example, their contributors make any informal / illegal shortcut part of a residential street when it isn't.

This would be very bad, where are you getting this from? That their own maps implementation doesn't work outside of Chrome/Safari doesn't sound nearly as bad as if they're damaging an entire ecosystem like that.
> Alexa can set timers and tell me the weather, and...that's basically it.

And I'm fascinated over and over again on just how bad even that experience sometimes is.

Not finding the right song on Spotify, not understanding what I'm asking, trying to push useless information on me and so on....

In the days of LLMs it looks even worse, because I would expect Alexa to use technology like that to give better answers.
There is a little * and fine print.

Every profitable company. There is nothing written in the article what happens when company would be profitable 5 years and then suddenly crashes because of market forces. Can employees take the hit and work next 2 years without salaries to wait out until market goes back?
I don't think anyone attempted to apply logic to this law before passage.

5 years ago, I couldn’t say “hey computer, make me a video of Jane Smith having sex with 3 guys, and also John Doe pointing a rifle at a baby”. I missed the part of the 1st amendment that gives me an inalienable right to make realistic images without someone’s permission of them doing things they wouldn’t do.
> it explains very little about the relative success of open source/public domain work vs. commercial closed source work.

It explains everything.

Open source evolves faster, and always out competes closed source.

Nope. Not in the long run. I can't think of a single exception.
Why, we'll have fewer babies and restrict immigration, of course.
Race to Berlin made sense because it led to better post-war outcomes for USSR, which also had price in human lives. However, helping Polish uprising would do the opposite, as the Poles proudly tell themselves. It wasn't impossible though. Yugoslavia pulled that trick and that allowed it to remain neutral.
> I doubt that the cost of building the house is even the major cost factor - it's probably mostly property value for the lot.

This is certainly the case here in the UK - but I suspect it depends on your local laws.

I looked into building my own house and essentially when you found a plot of land where you could legally construct a house - if a high quality house in that location would be worth £400k and cost £150k to construct, then the landowner would want £250k.

I do sometimes wonder if it could be politically advantageous to separate out the business of physically constructing houses from the business of capital management, land investment, risk management and house price speculation.

If a council knew they could construct 20 families worth of good quality social housing for £100k per house, with no risk of cost over-runs or late delivery, and they just had to provide the land? That could give them the motivation to find the land.
It seems a good place to make the point that someone being an expert in one field doesn't mean that they are an expert in any other field. Their statements outside of their field of expertise should not be given more weight than anybody else's.
By my estimation this runs head first into the first amendment and likely does not survive. It also likely violates the equal protections clause as it is only granting "identifiable individuals" (which does not appear to be defined?) special rights.

There is a mountain of case law that states that public figures have limited protections from criticism, mockery, etc. I am not sure humiliation will hold up any better.

They likely knew this as they add this at the end:

> If any provision of this Act, an amendment made by this Act, or the application of such a provision or amendment to any person or circumstance, is held to be unconstitutional, the remaining provisions of and amendments made by this Act, and the application of the provision or amendment held to be unconstitutional to any other person or circumstance, shall not be affected thereby.

Also this definition is still quite broad?

> “(3) DIGITAL FORGERY.—The term ‘digital forgery’ means any intimate visual depiction of an identifiable individual created through the use of software, machine learning, artificial intelligence, or any other computer-generated or technological means, including by adapting, modifying, manipulating, or altering an authentic visual depiction, to appear to a reasonable person to be indistinguishable from an authentic visual depiction of the individual, regardless of whether the visual depiction indicates, through a label or some other form of information published with the visual depiction, that the visual depiction is not authentic.”;

So it doesn't even need to be pornographic, just "intimate".
ReScript was an outgrowth of ReasonML and basically split the community killing both of them.
Fun related anecdote. I learned to program Amiga BASIC when I was around 12 by copying games from the back of Amiga magazine. At the same time, my sister was learning to read and write. As a nerdy big brother, I set out to write something where she could type plain english instructions and it would do what she typed. Playing Zork made this seem very feasible at least to my 12 year old mind. I never finished the project, but have been thinking about something like this again lately.
Reverse Engineering for Everyone
Nitpick: body builders are not the best weightlifters/strongmen. Body builders focus on aesthetic sculpting and cutting fat, not maximizing strength.
Chimps use something like 25% less calories than a human, so yes strength and energy usage are not strongly coupled. What makes humans weaker is less fast twitch muscle, and this gives us finer motor control.
>perhaps our biggest disadvantage compared to the rest of the animal kingdom.

I agree our physical inferiority is a big disadvantage, but I would say the biggest one is by far how much time is required to raise children.

Homo sapiens generally need anywhere from 10 to 30 years to reach proper adulthood, depending on social norms of the people concerned.

Contrast most animals who are done raising their young in months if not weeks, sometimes even days.
So this bans photoshop, too? Maybe even oil painting (oil paints are a technology, and an unauthorized nude oil painting of a celebrity would be indistinguishable from an "authentic"/authorized nude oil painting).

This covers quite a bit more than just social media. Sites like Wikipedia and health information seemingly fall under this, though there is an exception for "news" outlets
The inverse seems true. I'm someone that was essentially socially isolated until college and neglected broadly the entire time. I am hyper aware of what I need to do to blend in. I hate being acknowledged or praised and I really do not like attention. Essentially, I feel zero security in myself and have no idea who "I" am.

This article is fast to make a conclusion of its own and make sure that the reader is swayed with a negative opinion. But not everyone will (hopefully) fall for that.

Kids should be kept far from any kind of sexual or predatory content, if not what will lead to life long trauma. What I see today is that small kids being heavily addicted to social media, reels, tiktoks and what not. Many (90% today) I see become so restless if smartphone is snatched away for a moment. Atleast this will (or rather can) protect them from worst but of course more can be done.
This is a really bad idea for the average worker.

"We've got a number of people that have been here 15, 20 years and they have $1 million plus balances"

Sounds good but they are catastrophically undiversified. Nobody should have their entire nest egg in one stock. Yes they are motivated for the company to do well, but so many things play into a stock price that are out of any one person's control.

Just giving them profit sharing that they can invest as they wish would have most of the same motiviations. Anyone making a decent wage and saving in a 401K should be able to save $1 million over the long term. And do it much more safely in a well-diversified portfolio.
