At 14 I started my working life manning a deep fryer. I retired a couple of years ago at age 54. In between I waited tables, operated a fork lift, managed a framing shop, installed cabling plants, worked as a sysadmin, network engineer, solution architect, proposal manager, director of engineering, CTO and in retirement now manage a 215 acre horse farm and project manage the extensive restoration of a 1875 farm house on the property. I've left a few things off that list. My anecdotal experience is that during those 40 years my productivity wasn't tied to whether I liked the people I worked with. In fact some of my most productive periods were when I didn't.
They killed the very people who would have made it work a few decades earlier. However motivated ...
I would dig a bit more into the breakdown of the CVEs:

https://www.cvedetails.com/product/34622/Nextcloud-Nextcloud...

As well as if this reflects a systemic issue with the codebase or if it is just getting much needed attention from security researchers. More CVEs can just mean they're cleaning up after vulns really well. But at the same time, if they have critical vulns over and over again, that might indicate bad coding practices or carelessness.
100%. Nextcloud Desktop works well and i use FolderSync on android. Has worked perfectly so far :)
I've also been using the nougat models from meta, which are trained to turn PDF into md using the donut architecture
You are giving too much credence to the analytical capabilites to a lynch mob, and you are underestimating how much AI lowers the barrier for creating realistic 'proof' for incitement.

Also there are no mob 'leaders'. These are everyday folks, these are you and me and my neighbours.

A student pissed at a teacher could create a fake AI video of his teacher at night, and wake up to no pesky teacher and feel no remorse over what happened while he slept.

The student was not a mob leader, just some dumbass who was angry at their teacher for giving bad grades, and had access to simple AI tools (soon available online for a trivial fee, if not free).

Be honest, are you 100% sure of the status of that facebook account you deleted in 2018? Zuck never deleted it, that content is still there to be mined and abused. Also not that hard to just log in to the damn thing and post something spicy.

I don't remember if old posts can be edited in FB, cause that would allow the person to really gild the lily.
Honestly, I feel that Nextcloud is full of bloat, the performance is quite disappointing and it's very unstable. I only use it for file storage, because I can't find a better alternative out there. My advice: never upload directories that may have many small files (and certainly not git repos). For photos, don't even think about it. Use Immich or PhotoPrism.
Most people care more for those closer to them. Distinctions such as "are they foreign" can be part of that, but so too can denomination, political preference, sports team.

We evolved to care for our young, and co-evolved with dogs and cats to like them too; AI can hijack that, become a drug dealer selling endogenous dopamine and oxytocin — it will feel good while being fake, just like exogenous drugs.

But once we can truly engineer minds, deliberately… we're not ready for what that does to our concept of "free will" amongst other things.
Yes, there is an anti-competitiveness aspect here, and I agree with you that the access to the api should be allowed (given some limits)

I'm not a security specialist, but it seems to me that while managed services typically have better security and sysadmin resourcing, they also have the downside that their security can fail at a massive scale. If someone defeated the security of, say, GitHub, they could leak all the private repos stored there.

Managed services also have to accept connections from the public Internet, which on-premises solutions do not.
this is incredibly negative but lacks examples, could you back your statements up with evidence or ease off the hyperbole? the middle ground is the worst
> Are you saying that Google lied about being responsible for it?

The original news article says Google deleted the account. As per your quote and official statement - no account has been deleted.

So that news article is completely false. Point proven.
I want to like it but it’s quasi-open source. As far as I understand, from the convoluted FAQ, paid Essentials members can’t access the source code, and they are gatekeeping some quite basic features behind Essentials membership.

Reading between the lines I think it is closer to dual licensed. With extra conditions for the non-public source.
Those cloud specialists aren't configuring your ACLs and firewalls - the most common source of severe security problems in the cloud.
i see, thanks! i wouldn't have guessed those at all
I assume the top reply was referring to "OEM unlocked bootloader/fastboot"
I was also surprised Google didn’t really mention the Cloud Domains path. I did it, but there are some caveats. It doesn’t support all domains that Google Domains did (e.g. “premium” domains on new tlds), and Squarespace does still end up being the registrar of record; Google Cloud is just a frontend.
Samsung only offers the 7 years of support for their flagship series of phones. The majority of phones they sell are cheaper ones that do not get that support.
I'm very sorry to say this but if you live in a country that is killing others for what they say, AI is probably not your biggest problem. And I don't believe an easy solution exists.

What issues did you find with the file storage? I’m using it backed by S3 and it hasn’t given me any issues at all so far, be nice to know what to watch out for.
Your software isn’t working, because the user cannot use it. Your UI is always a combination of whatever hardware and software come together to give an experience. Everyone chooses to marginalise certain segments of users’ technologies – I don’t support IE any more of course – but I typically won’t drop support for technologies that are vital assistive technologies for that segment of users.

(If you need a personal story to bring it home, the only way my dad, a programmer in the 70s-90s, could continue to use computers when he suffered from MND / ALS, was to use voice control software.)
Consciousness for me is tied to internal modeling of the world and oneself in it. An agent without an internal model is limited to reacting to immediate inputs, and constrained in terms of the complexity of memory it can have. It could sense pain, for example, it could react based on the location of the pain, it could have thresholds based on experiences of pain. But it could not have a concept of itself being harmed, or objectify the source of the pain, or reason how to minimize the pain. It could only react, with some mix of direction or randomness.

With an internal model of the world, an agent can objectify patterns of experience, view the world as consisting of things, recognize things, associate behavior with and predict things, react based on a more comprehensive understanding of the structure of the world rather than just what it can immediately experience. For example, without looking, I know there's a closed door behind me. I have an internal model of my environment, built from simpler object models such as wall and door and window and floor. I am aware of my circumstances and of my position within it. I can interpret sensory experiences in terms of that model - the sound of the door opening, or a gust of wind on my neck. This is consciousness in my view - experiencing the world in terms of models which divide it into recognizable and predictable parts.

Different agents' modeling abilities can vary, depending on their available memory, pattern recognition abilities, and so on. Also important is the ability to hypothesize - manipulate models not related to immediate experience - and communicate models. Humans tend to be pretty good at both these things.

Free will, for me, is not an inherent ability of an agent, but rather a judgment of an agent's decision-making abilities from the perspective of another agent. If one agent can fully control or predict the behavior of another, the latter has no free will. To the extent that an agent is uncontrollable or unpredictable, it's said to have free will. Therefore I view free will as an arms race between competitive agents. Memory and modeling prowess are the basic weapons in this war, but they demand a high amount of energy. Evolution has equipped conscious creatures with a few other tricks, such as forgetting, which helps to increase unpredictability and keep down energy demands.
I don't know which one is better, but considering file hosting, sync and web access, Nextcloud works very well. Regarding usability, as NC doesn't works like Dropbox it is a matter of taste, I prefer NC over Dropbox.
"Nuclear is not considered to be a renewable energy source."

Nuclear isn't renewable in the same way directly building your own artificial sun isn't renewable. It is orders of magnitude the better way to produce energy for a large, growing, and thriving society with multi-planetary aspirations.

The "renewables" aren't actually. They rely on a sun that has a bit over 4 billion years left, and they put a hard cap on our planetary energy consumption possible without negatively impacting the environment (image a planet covered in solar panels for an extreme).

Nuclear energy is in a different tech tier not far off from the sun itself. The order of magnitude of unleashing energy directly from atoms is the end game of energy production for humans. It allows for space travel to every planet in this solar system and beyond. It allows for thriving colonies on other planets and trade between them. It will allow for an explosive growth in innovation, trade, and economic activity. And, it will open up access to resources orders of magnitude larger than what is possible on Earth, with the asteroid belt alone -- all without harming the Earth's precious ecosystems.

Most importantly, it gives the next generations hope. Hope of a better future, of extreme progress, of something to feel pride in our species for. This is what creates life in human civilization.

We, as a species, can eventually offload ALL manufacturing from Earth to other, ecologically dead planets. Mars is a great candidate for this. And at 1/3 the gravity, activities like drilling into the ground and building large, shielded warehouses will take significantly less energy than Earth.

Energy should be the foundation of currency, not whatever our current currencies foundation is. Energy capacity and usage is the truer measure of a civilization's productivity. The sooner we all realize this, the smoother our planetary transition to the next phase will be.

If curious, there are more "foundational measures" -- computational capacity (cumulative of neurons and artificial compute), and attention (what the compute is targeting), but that's another thought.
> Yes and no. What a country needs to do to be prosperous is fairly easy - liberal, free market capitalism. No other system has come close to that.

That's not enough. You also need to be at war with other countries, win those wars and impose war reparations so high the losing party is obliged to grant you control of its tariff and industries to repay an ever increasing and eternal debt. "It wasn't fair they didn't want to buy our opium".

Singapore has a great coat of paint over its economic system so westerners think it’s pure capitalism but that’s a mirage.

- The majority of locals work directly (PSD, Government, Education) or indirectly (Temasek / GIC owned entities like CapitalLand, Surbana, Singapore Airlines, the three local banks, etc.

- 80% of the property market is directly under government control (HDB), with 20% heavily regulated but “free”

I could go on, but Singapore works precisely because it’s not free for all capitalism but a tightly controlled economy that makes sure the country benefits
> people would trust rumour less, not form mobs more

I believe you are right. When the first unbelievable clips appeared on Facebook (where the most gullible people are), you could see the old ladies cheering "oh how wonderful! where did you film that?" Now in the comments section you will mostly see people saying "sheesh, stop polluting my feed with these fake AI-generated spam". Don't get me wrong, many people still fall for them, but the tendency seems clear - after all, we managed to survive because of learning.
One of my employees use Nextcloud on its iPhone and it works fast and well.
There's a Flappy Bird clone for the GameBoy, in the form of a 32kB ROM. [0][1][2]

In the US, freedom of speech means the government won't stifle you, but the court of public opinion will crucify you for saying the wrong thing. In the linked case, a school principal was framed for being a racist, a fire able offense. Better than being killed by religious extremists, I suppose, but still not great. Thankfully in this case they were able to find the perpetrator who faked evidence, but we have a problem.
The only logical legal solution is that any content of you shared by you is legitimate one and all other content of you shared by somebody else is presumed non-authenthic and possibly fake.
SimpleDB, S3 Select, old style EC2s outside VPCs, QLDB, AWS Data Pipelines, Cloud9, CodeCommit, SnowMobile, Forecast are the ones I know.

From the outside I dont perceive the promotion dynamics for engineers working on old services is that different at AWS than Google or Azure. Finance and engineering do conspire to kill off things despite customer annoyance, perhaps as they should.

There is also a constant churn of retiring EC2 instance types, security certs, old database versions, EMR versions, OS versions, security practices, cost optimizations, etc to suck up your time with minimal business value. This is not different fundamentally than on prem, you just have slightly less control and an outside party forcing your hand to do the right thing isnt purely a bad thing...

AWS is pretty good about giving you a grace period to migrate off and informal warnings if they strategically want you to move to a different service of theirs before stuff gets killed if you are looped in with a TAM (e.g Data Pipelines vs more-expensive Glue). They seem to have recently migrated to a strategy where they disable services for new customers but actually dont kill them completely off but keep them on life support.
But the ridiculous egress costs of the big clouds really reduce the feasibility of this. If you have some 'bare metal' boxes in the same city as your cloud instances you are going to be absolutely clobbered with the cost of database traffic from your additional AWS/azure/whatever boxes.

They more than likely made that decision to be able to style the label based on input state using the + sibling selector. I use that trick for literally every visible input now.
Elecrow seems a Chinese company, right? In that case, I don't expect any reply.
Especially since ownCloud was started originally by Frank Karlitschek who left to fork and create Nextcloud!
I think it's for material design inspired focus animations. :has selector wasn't a thing, so you have to use + sibling selector to target the label of a focused input

input:focus + label {}

I'm interested in this too.

There are TONS of tutorials that basically are "lets bring in this magical crate for this hardware I happen to have, and this is how you use it to blink a LED".

One way that we technical folk can help prevent this is by purchasing a domain that we can call our own and then host a website that's very clear: "If my image or voice is used in a piece of digital media that is not linked here from this domain, it was not produced by me."

That, and cryptographic materials being used to sign stuff too.

I think that's possibly the best we can hope for from a technical perspective as well as waiting for the legal system to catch up.

No. That's why a lot of people are scared of it.
AI doesn't create problems, but AI certainly lowers the barriers and improves the 'quality' of the bait.

To explain for a more developed country context, the fakes that previously required skill in Photoshop and Audacity etc now is much simpler to implement with AI, allowing far more dipshits to create and share fake image/audio/video of someone they are pissed at during their lunch break on their phone.

That's way too quick, allowing people to shoot far too many arrows in a huff, before their reasonable brain has time to make them realise the consequences of their actions.

> Can you give an example of a country that started poor, adopted laissez-faire capitalism, and became a prosperous nation?

Most of Eastern Europe. In the early 1990s, average wages were ~30 USD per month, that is, less than dollar a day. Now they are rapidly catching up with Western Europe.

Laissez-faire capitalism wasn't a choice, but the only responsible option left when you have no meaningful national economy. People were told that the state budget is empty and there's no money to hand out, and that they have to find a way to survive on their own. And they did.

The author states that it's because old UNIVAC mainframes are still being used in the medical world and they don't have 2's complement, which makes it incompatible with C++20. But the machines were discontinued a long time ago with the company finally moving to Intel Xeon CPUs in 2015 [0] - and I'm not even sure if people actually run GUIs with these legacy mainframes (plus the author's stating this will primarily support Linux, but are these mainframes even capable of running it?)
