> Don't associate with terrorists. Do not shelter terrorists. Do not eat dinner with terrorists. Don't get car rides from terrorists.

That's impossible to achieve in practice as you probably knew before spending time to write this. And it's also not a valid defense for any attacker since being next to the wrong person on the street isn't proof or even suspicion of association.

Make sure your kid checks everyone's terrorist credentials when playing in the park. And the Uber driver. And the pizza delivery guy. And the supermarket clerk. And the rando just walking past you.

> getting remedies from a commercial entity is often difficult and expensive--even for a company and certainly for an individual

Depends on the country. The countries I've lived in (Spain & Sweden) both have "Small claims court" which you (as a individual) can go through for relatively speedy (and free) resolutions to minor things, and avoids the traditional (slow) court procedures. This might be EU wide, not sure.

> you seem to be making a case that no one should ever use unsupported open source for anything important

No, I'm trying to make the case that people and businesses need to be more aware of what the license of the software they're using, is under.

If the software license says "THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND" but you need some sort of warranty, then either find an entity willing to provide that for this specific piece of software, chose another project, or fork it and provide your own warranty yourself.

I agree. Many coding courses start with setting up your environment, where to download the base packages... I much prefer the core concepts first.
No it won't, but ads are only done because they believe the ROI is worth it. If you accept that they're not just throwing money away, ads must increase consumption. Banning the ads must, therefore, decrease consumption.

Yes, people will still fly, but maybe a few trips a year won't happen due to it not being right in someone's face.

There's no harm in reducing consumption.
I don't disagree with you at all, I'm just speculating over why they'd block it.
> They're all contractors who work for Marketplace ... The site is hosted on completely separate infrastructure from CNN Underscored, just skinned to look similar to it. They even have a different privacy policy just for CNN Underscored Money.

But those things have nothing to do with whether or not CNN has involvement and oversight over the CNN underscored content.

I have no idea myself, but you certainly can't infer it from irrelevant facts.
I agree the Earth will survive even if it's not the same Earth we know and love today. Maybe we should all give a little extra appreciation for this specific time we live in - one of great technological advancement and one in which we still have much of the natural beauty we've come to take for granted. The future will be increasingly high tech, but those who live in it may not have untouched forests, coral reefs, or temperate weather in which to enjoy alongside it.

I'm tired of hearing this idea that this is some binary phenomenon of either saving the world or dooming it.

Technological civilization is undergoing a chaotic growth and reshaping process that will end up thrashing the container it lives in to an unknown and catastrophic degree. There's no known ultimate boundary to this process. Or the only really known ultimate boundary, a completely dead planet, is very far away. We cannot know exactly what will happen but we have a lot of power to shape this process and limit the damages.

The process will continue. There's no going back. There's no stopping. Only a multitude of ways to affect the outcome. Some of those ways can limit the destruction. Some of those ways can shape the process to something that can live and let live.
>they can clearly do at least some things that show what we would call knowledge if a human did it

Hard disagree. LLMs merely present the illusion of knowledge to the casual observer. A trivial cross examination usually is sufficient to pull back the curtain.
To be fair, it’s incredibly cheap to take a flight to about anywhere else in Europe, for which alternatives often do exist, and that’s probably what it’s mostly targeted against. That being said, I doubt that it’s very effective. It’s more symbolic I guess.
The planet itself (the rock) will of course be fine but the ecosystem has undergone and continues to undergo a massive extinction event caused by humans. This is an avoidable tragedy. I agree with some of your analysis but strongly disagree with your sentiment.

When you connect to a WiFi network, the goal is to be part of the network. Which means that all the devices on the network can reach each other.

If you have a password, it means that you select who can be part of that network (and hence who can reach your computer). If you don't have a password (e.g. a guest network somewhere), then there is no selection at all.

Now, if you let anyone connect and have a "fake" password, you still don't have any filter and should know that you are on a "public" network (i.e. you should not blindly trust other devices). So it's actually better to be able to see that you are on a "public" network (versus a "trusted" network like your home LAN).

Or did I misunderstand your question?

> “The overall diagnostic is that the patient, Planet Earth, is in critical condition,” says Johan Rockström

The planet as a patient is a problematic metaphor. What does this mean? A human patient in critical condition is at risk of dying. But the planet is not going to "die", though many species will.

We need better ways of talking clearly (not with hyperbole) about the current situation and the stakes. Even with serious and aggressive policy changes, we'd still be on a track for key measures to get worse for some time, and we're bad at discussing "under costly policy A, X will be k% worse than today with expected outcome Y, but without adopting policy A, X with be (k+l)% worse than today expected outcome Z." So people end up saying "we're doomed regardless, so why should I have to pay/change/act?"
Interesting response. I'm as curious as anyone else as to how Yao will improve upon Rust, but here is what I've observed from following several (relatively) recently created languages (Julia, Nim, Mojo, JAX):

* Language creators start with high hopes and big promises. "We've learned from the past! This will solve all the problems of previous X,Y,Z languages! It will be so much easier to use!"

* The language begins to be designed, implemented, and developed. Problems arise. Tradeoffs must be made. Invariably, the new language develops its own set of limitations, shortcomings, and weaknesses. These are inevitable with any new programming language.

* Ultimately the language either finds a userbase who are willing to overlook or work around the limitations and pitfalls, or it fades away.

* If it remains, eventually another new language arises saying "We've learned from the past! This will solve all the problems of previous X,Y,Z languages! It will be so much easier to use!" And the cycle repeats.

Now, is this a bad thing? I would argue no, not necessarily. Every time a new language is created, our vision of what is possible is expanded. We learn new lessons about what works and what doesn't work in programming languages.

So in short I'm looking forward to see how the state of the art is advanced by Yao. If it gets to a decent working state, I might even try it out if I have time. However, in light of the above statements forgive me for being skeptical of the following claim from Yao's website [1]:

> As powerful as C, As flexible as Lisp, As easy as Python, As provable as Ada/SPARK, More reliable than Rust, With the time semantics of HAL/S.

It doesn't exist "solely to serve addictions." Not everyone who drinks is an alcoholic, but some are. Not everyone who buys a candy bar is on the path to morbid obesity/diabetes, etc., but some are. Not everyone who buys an occasional lottery ticket or burns $100 at a casino is a gambling addict, but some are.

The most addictive item on that list by a long shot is almost certainly nicotine, but even then, there are people who maybe have a cigar on special occasions every couple of years, but otherwise don't smoke.

Black-and-white thinking is a plague on modern society.

You mean, by starting a big casino, hiring thousands of people, advertising all over, etc.? A small investment like that?

That may be true, but a "few percentage points" is enough to create enormous profits, if you do what I said above. Giving the house a 54% advantage instead of 51% makes a big, big difference.

Do you expect the hockeystick graph of technological development since the industrial evolution to slow? Or that it will proceed, only without significant advances in AI?

Seems like the base case here is for the exponential growth to continue, and you'd need a convincing argument to say otherwise.
> the government's monopoly on violence is more about its power to engage in violence than literal acts of violence

Power being capability and willingness. Guns give a private citizen capability, same as anyone who can make a fist. They do not extend to signalling a willingness to shoot someone. (Threats, on the other hand, are illegal. Partly because they're no fun for anyone involved. Partly because that crosses from potential to actual.)

I disagree that it does not venture into scandal territory due to the fact that CNN is a news organization that is constantly defending their integrity.

They are presenting content as their own under questionable sources that they don't reveal. It proves they are being less genuine when doing so makes them money.
> A known limitation of the base Raft protocol is that partial/asymmetric network partitions can cause a loss of liveness [27, 32]. For instance, if a leader can no longer make progress because it cannot receive messages from the other nodes, it continues to send AE heartbeats to followers, preventing them from timing out and from electing a new leader who can make progress.

Real-world raft implementations make the leader step down if it hasn’t heard from a quorum for a while. Not part of vanilla raft though.

> The population there has been the victims of genocides for the sake of freeing area for Israel since more than half a century before Israel was even created.

Were the massacres of native jewish populations also done for the sake of freeing area for Israel?

UPDATE: Since I cannot post new comments, I'll reply here.

> But as a point in fact group you are referring to, being by and large composed of descendants of recent migrations from other regions (with no direct ancestry in Palestine for 1000+ years) -- is better described as "long-term resident" rather than "native".

This is false. I'm talking about Jewish communities which have continuously lived in the region for 2 thousand years, like community in Hebron. They were much more numerous just a few hundred years before. For example, back in 17th century, about half of the population of Gaza was Jewish. You can take a guess about what happened to that half.

Statements like "Jews didn't live in Palestine for 2 thousand years", just as "Jews came from Europe" are false narratives distributed for propaganda purposes.

Here's the Federal Reserve's record of it:

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/PSAVERT

It sounds like 4.8% is pretty much identical since the pandemic recovery.

Before that, it had been pretty steady at around 5.6%. Then the pandemic caused a huge spike followed by a slow decline. It bottomed out in 2022 and has reached a more or less stable rate above that, but below the prior long-term average.

So it sounds like the answer to my question is "It's OK, but not great."
Yes, and the point where that became enforced, was pretty much the point where casinos in the US were sold off from the gangs that generally owned them up to that point, to “entertainment tycoons” who turned them into the “arcades for adults” / “cruise ships on land” they’re known as today.

The US just got uniquely "lucky" here, in that the people who bought up the casinos from the gangs, had a business plan that involved making Las Vegas et al "family friendly", which required moving as far away from the casinos' previous "gang-affiliated" image as possible. As such, they had no plans related to continuing to tacitly launder money for the gangs; instead looking specifically for that kind of signature and stopping it when they notice it. (The shared Vegas-casino blacklist exists 1% to stop card counters, and 99% to stop organized criminals.)

Elsewhere in the world, this particular story didn't play out the same way, though. So casinos elsewhere are still mostly money-laundering fronts. Not always operated by gangs, but often operated under the implicit business-model assumption of gangs.

What you'll see in your average casino-allowing country — Australia, say — are casino businesses run by regular people, who get very little traffic from regular gamblers (nobody travels to Australia to gamble), who do zero investment into making the casino attractive to regular people... and who instead concentrate all their effort on making sure that gangs — some even state-affiliated, apparently! — can continue to launder money through the casinos with ease.

Though, for an example of very explicit gang-casino involvement, there's the Golden Triangle, containing casinos owned directly by a particular gang — where it isn’t the gang members themselves (or their proxies) cashing in and out to wash money; but instead, customers of the gang’s drug business, cashing in at the casino, and then proceeding to lose all their money at the table, as their way of making payment for a drug shipment from the gang.

Every time I say the solution is to restrain those who callously and deliberately profit off climate damage, by force if necessary, people get upset and downvote me, metaphorically speaking. But all the 'yay humanity let's all cooperate in pursuit of a solution' thinkers are demonstrably failing, because selfish people make up the largest bloc (though still a minority) of humanity.

People who go to a museum and throw paint at a work of art (which is protected behind glass) are routinely condemned and sent to jail. But even if they were actually destroying art, their point is that many extractive industries are actually destroying the environment and killing off whole species, damaging human health etc., and not only does society tolerate this, in many cases it subsidizes it. We choose instead to condemn the people who draw attention to this.
A young person who grew up in my rural community and was on the town board for a while flew to a conference in South Africa on climate change which was one of the worst possible places you could have one.

I’ve been thinking about what carbon price would change people’s behavior and incentivize alternatives, $100 a ton is a round number close to estimates of what it costs to capture carbon from an oil refinery or coal burning power plant. It adds $1 a gallon to gas prices which people would bitch about in the US (e.g. Kamala Harris’s answer to “what do you do about climate change” in the debate was basically “drill baby drill” because she wants to win) but I don’t think would change behavior (gas was $1 a gallon before and I didn’t change my driving habits; $500 a year more in gas is not quite enough to make an EV attractive, 3x that is getting there)

Similarly adding $150 to that ticket isn’t going to stop people from making that flight.
Why does this argument always come up? We all know the planet won't die. Humans might though. That's why we're concerned. This is always presented as some "ackshully" very smart argument. Yeah, it's a big fuckin rock, of course it won't die. That's not the concern.
“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know."
