X is now 4chan to faces of death as i just was scrolling through and saw CTV security footage a guy suckering punch a guy .. the victim got up.. hurried out the door then turned around a point blank shot his assailant and it was gruesome. Ive never something like that and was fine with not seeing such before. Yet X is a trainwreck I am drawn ever more to especially with Grok 2 images.

I think Youtube is a better example than AI because AI is arguably transformative, while early Youtube had much more blatant copyright violations.

It's too risky for established players to do this because they'll be sued immediately. A small player can fly under the radar for long enough to see if the idea has legs. If it does, it'll be worth it for rights holders to negotiate.
It doesn't work that way. Any ability to ban "fake news" immediately becomes a vehicle for banning inconvenient news. It's part of human nature. I don't have to list the dozens recent examples of "fake" news turning out to be true. There's a reason that Orwell's censorship body was called the "ministry of truth".

Governments shouldn't touch censorship for the same reason alcoholics shouldn't touch booze.

So you are telling me, Musk is a fan of the Islamist regime in Turkey and its persecution of non-Islamists..

Somehow, I don't believe that.

Especially given that X also censors for India's anti-Islamic government..

Seems pretty obvious that ideological sympathies are not the deciding factor here, but the question wether an unwillingness to comply would lead to X being banned in the country in question.
> Wait are LLMs crushing professionals at coding?

Exams, yes. Not the work yet. This is also why they've not made doctors and lawyers obsolete: even in the fields where the models perform the best, you're getting the equivalent of someone fresh out of university with no real experience.

I suspect you're right about your point with generalise vs. memorise. Not absolutely sure, but I do suspect so.

I also suspect we'll get transformative AI well before we can train any AI with as few examples as any organic brain needs. Unless we suddenly jump to that with one weird trick we've been overlooking this whole time, which wouldn't hugely surprise me given how many radical improvements we've made just by trying random ideas.
> Free speech includes things that are offensive to your sensibilities.

Obviously, and that's okay, but if you want to have a discussion platform then you need to deal with the worst of it one way or the other. Otherwise it's just going to regress to the nastiest. No normal person wants to casually engage with people like this, so when you let them free they will turn any thread into a toxic flamefest.

When push comes to shove, very few people are 100% free speech absolutions. That would include people just replying "fuck off you moron", "kill yourself n--er", "gas the Jews", etc. etc. on every post. The internet makes it very easy for slightly unhinged people to spend a lot of time posting these types of things hundreds or thousands of times per day. So stuff like "free speech includes things that are offensive to your sensibilities" is just a discussion stopper truism.

My post from a few years ago applies here: https://www.arp242.net/censorship.html
> Then there are people with nothing to lose. Some mid-level manager who isn't very good at it, isn't making his numbers. If he plays by the rules, he's about to get canned and lose his house and his wife. If he cheats and gets caught, there's a 40% chance he goes to jail, but a 60% chance he not only makes a lot of money but gets promoted to the head of the company because his numbers are so good. There are going to be too many people willing to take the risk in that case. It's going to happen a lot of the time.

But exactly the same argument applies to paying bribes to foreign officials, and yet the FCPA at least cut that down. I'm not naïve enough to believe that it eliminated it, but surely it's made a difference.

> To fix this you need to attach a penalty to someone who both has something to lose and is in a position to detect the crime. But the someone with something to lose are the owners and when they're diffuse passive investors they're not in a position to detect the crime.

You clarified later you meant the stock owners, but there are also executives of the company. Somewhere up the chain of command will be someone who's reluctant to have their name attached publicly to the behavior, and the possibility of legal hazard will encourage them to regulate their reports appropriately. This is definitely a place not to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

> I don't have the root access or anything to the server but I have ssh access to it.

So wait, this server isn't in your house behind your router, it's already on the internet? Is it publicly accessible by IP address?

> I am running ssh in a rootless machine (they have given me permissions) , I would like to run minecraft in it

Does the minecraft server daemon work as non-root? If so, doesn't it already expose a port that anyone can reach via the internet?

Is the issue that the server admin lets you run Minecraft, but firewall rules etc. don't open that port to incoming traffic? Are you sure they're ok with you running a game server on that machine (they typically tend to be pretty CPU-heavy)?

If so, you might just be able to open a standard SSH tunnel without any additional apps. But you still need to have some other publicly-accessible server that's reachable from the internet (the other end of the tunnel). Usually that's what costs money, because it requires an always-on server that will forward all the players' network activity through it to your real server.

Maybe you can use a free-tier EC2 server (or similar on GCP or Azure) to host that endpoint and forward that proxy. But I think it's a lot less work and cost to just rent a Minecraft server on a shared host (they're like <$10/mo).

This is not a moralistic position. Brazil always has been a big market for Twitter and there were always significant resources invested by the company for legal compliance. This included dedicated cross functional teams. These teams no longer exist, since the owner thinks 90% of the people in the company were useless. Now they simply don’t have the ability to stay compliant and therefore run into the risk of being fined. They’re minimizing that risk.
Being unable to access struct fields a.b.c without risking a panic sucks (and which caused the panic: a.b or b.c?). There's no remotely ergonomic solution to the problem, because there's no nil-safe struct member operator, there's no ternary operator, and if-statements can't be used as expressions.

This wouldn't be such a problem, since of course you can just "choose" to not use pointer- or interface-typed fields in "your" structs, but as soon as serialization, databases, or other people's APIs are involved, you don't have that "choice" anymore.

In the same vein, being unable to write e.g. &true or &"foo" is annoying too. If I can write &struct{...} why can't I write &true?

When I wasn't happy with a product, I either used the warranty or (mandatory) 14-day return option depending on the reason why the product wasn't conforming expectations

Perhaps warranty extras are more relevant outside of the EU where warranty laws may be less strict? How even does a payment system do warranty, it knows nothing of the product?

And what is price protection, it sounds like merchants would draw more from the account than you authorised? How would that even work?

Why would media companies be better than technologists training against all publicly available content (torrents, streaming, offline media)? Media companies are good at capturing value via copyright and creating a moat through resources needed to produce content, not technology.

I was confused on my first read through: this guidance seems to refer to federal enterprise applications, not necessarily customer-facing services.

It seems reasonable to me to require employees to use a physical authenticator. Heck, how many of the people here use them and require employees to use them? Often to secure access to applications and resources less consequential than Official Acts Of The Federal Government.

It would feel less reasonable (and a throwback to the ‘00s) to mail out hardware authenticators to customers/members of the public just to, say, buy stamps from the USPS or something.

But the employee needs to be responsible enough not to lose it, they definitely need to not be able to back it up to god-knows-what consumer-grade provider (or to duplicate it at all). And when they lose it, IT needs to know to invalidate the lost one and issue them a new one.

My impression is that physical authenticators (often in the form of smart cards that double as employee ID) are pretty much table stakes in serious federal environments anyway, is that mistaken?

It's already the case, at a few companies I've involved with we've already laid off much of the content creation roles. The first to go were written content, then drawn content and now corporate stock photographers/videographers are next.

The second wave will involve 3d modelers, animators, post-processing jobs in cinema.

I'm already seeing lot of developer jobs especially front-end, testing roles being replaced entirely. Ironically, only back-end, devops, cybersecurity appears to be safe as it is mission critical even when good chunk of the jobs are automated.

what leads to my conclusion is that your comment will hold true for the most part, much as people stopped buying newspapers once Google News took off, there will still be those that pay digital subscriptions for media outlets they support, in fact their market shares might increase as a result of creative destruction.

There are riches to be made during these chaotic times. There are none for those seeking to be a miner-for-hire anymore in a large chunk of the white collar space.
> Cosmos Magazine – Australia's rough analog of New Scientist

It's been a few decades since I read New Scientist, for good reason. It was a fairly low quality publication - not unlike what Popular Science became.

If Cosmos is similarly poor, then this is not surprising.
Hitler and Allende both gained power legitimately.

They both abused that power afterwards to become dictators.
No. That's what you are doing. Apple didn't buy Next for 400 million $ to get their hands on 'WebObjects'. In fact that played very little role.

They valued the OS and Jobs. The reality is Apple had spent 10 years trying to make an OS and failed. Next was only really had one potential buyers and they had been losing value and losing money for a long time. So their value shouldn't have been so high.

That said, one could make the argument in the other direction, Apple needed an OS. BeOS was much, much cheaper but also less complete. Arguable just in terms of OS still the better value. Switching to something Solaris is what they arguable what they could have done instead for far less money.

In the end they had to put huge amount of work in anyway, so its not even really clear what Next really added that they couldn't have done based on Be, Copland or Solaris.

And in terms of WebObjects, the problem with the whole 'WebObjects' is gone drive value is that literally everybody was trying to sell some something like that. Every company and many knew ones were getting into that game and few of them were successful. And even those that were successful aren't worth 400 million $.

A company starting to use some Web framework stuff in 1996 doesn't necessarily stick to it forever. In fact historically many didn't.
Yes we do. Why? Because the old people running our country have not figured out that digital money is money even though most spending is done using digital money.

Because they love corporate profits more than citizen wallets, they restrict the US Mint to paper money instead of implementing a Federal payment system to support citizen use of digital money.

Consequently, those companies effectively implement a regressive sales tax of around 3-4%.

We should all have a federal debit card with zero processing fees that attaches to our bank accounts and the banks should be mandated to charge zero for federal debit card withdrawals.

Alternately, a law should be passed that mandates these big companies to charge no processing fee for debit cards. If they can't make profits that are sufficiently obscene on credit card fees, tough luck. While at it, make a federal card processing function that is entirely funded by tax, just like paper money.

It's an insane part of our government that it is impossible to modernize anything that touches the constitutional responsibilities.
Reducing charge-backs in another reason Chip & PIN was promoted by the banks.

With a signature the merchant is responsible for fraud. They are supposed to check the buyers signature against the one written on the back of the credit/debit card or cheque book. If the signatures don't match the merchant should decline the sale.

With Chip & PIN - a code only the card owner should know - the responsibility has been shifted away from the seller over to the buyer. The banks always say "NEVER share your PIN code with anybody. It's for you only"

Claiming a charge-back is much harder if YOU are the one who authorised the transaction by entering a code only YOU should know.

3. Recycling the flawed "energy use per transaction metric" that has been doubly-debunked.

4. Not inviting a single person knowledgeable on Bitcoin and energy to comment on the IMF report.

I can think up a few legal ideas off the top of head in regards to adblockers:

From a copyright point of view… adblockers make a derivative work so they should pay the content maker for those. Those are worth orders of magnitude more than the ad would have paid.

Or maybe unfair business practice. Their whole aim is deprive another business of income. Or how they shake down companies for money so the blocker becomes less effective on that site.

A lot of good stuff in the recommendations, but I find this one questionable:

> “Enterprise applications should be able to be used over the public internet.”

This is straight up arguing against defense-in-depth, and getting rid of connection auditing and interception capability. Seems extremely dubious, unless by "be able to" they mean "it should be OK security-wise if you get rid of the VPN" and not "you should actually get rid of the VPN".
I'm not sure it's a pendulum. Some (many? most?) things don't swing back. Many changes are effectively irreversible.

It's not like fat-->skinny-->fat-->skinny ties, where there's zero friction for the pendulum.

The only way the net is going back to the old ways is if the governments of the world stop caring (good luck with that) or if end-user decentralization tools make a quantum leap in adoption, but even then I think you're more likely to see governments cracking down on that rather than just not caring.

> where warranty laws may be less strict?

These protections don’t really exist in the US. The only thing American consumers can really use as leverage to get a return is the threat of a charge back. Even a small amount of chargebacks (merchants call it friendly fraud) can land you in serious trouble with Visa or MasterCard. If you lose the ability to process cards, your business is basically poof — gone.
I think you underestimate how lazy people are. Writing an article also requires finding a topic to write about meaning research. People don’t want research, they just want information fed to them.

> Once code is in a public interface in the wild, it's hard to change either way.

Yes! Definitely for the final version (when the prototype becomes production, which is the moment a customer first uses it) everything should be locked down.

> I don't see how dynamic typing will save you there. In fact, stronger typing can at least help you restrict the ways in which an interface can be called.

Strong typing isn't inherently bad here, but it's often associated with strong coupling between components. Often people strongly type because they're making assumptions (or direct knowledge) about some other component. That's death. You want high cohesion and loose coupling, and one way to do that is just not depend on strong types at the interface/boundary.

To recap:

1. When prototyping, loose types everywhere, to help me make shitty code faster to see it work
2. When production, loose types at the component boundaries, and strict types within components
