> It’s like “Beef chili” vs “Chili with beef”. The average consumer wouldn’t know the difference.

Idk, but where I lived before, at some point virtually everyone knew the difference between e.g. "cheese" and "cheese[-like] product", because it quite mattered - one is real cheese made with real milk, another is typically a plant-based substitute with quite different properties (and typically of much worse quality).

Average consumers aren't exactly dumb (at least, not at the individual level) when things actually matter to them. They're just uninformed and don't actively express the desire to learn (so they remain uninformed), so they can act not in their best interest because they aren't aware about something. But when we know, when the information gap closes - we act differently, and that's not going back. Education is important.

So it may impact licensing of digital media where user intent was specifically focused on indefinite access. E.g. movie or music sales when people had incorrectly assumed that "buying" means they can rewatch/relisten it whenever they like, no matter what (and then their "purchased" content disappears because licensing deal wasn't renewed or something).
Bitcoin's advantage is that it's value has continued climbing, aside from some fairly big blips, irrespective of its design or utility. That's why people buy it and hold it. It's a magic piggy bank.

If a truly stable cryptocurrency was released that was actually suitable for everyday transactions at scale, the people who buy bitcoin would laugh at it for not offering a return on investment. It seems like such a currency will have to be adopted from the bottom up to succeed, not trickle from the top down.

Here's a question for you: What happens to the value of bitcoin when some other crypto-currency starts doing the things bitcoin has only promised? Does it crash, or does the magic bubble around a completely useless technology persist for as long as people are willing to believe in it?
Sounds like CRUD boilerplate. Sure, it's great to have AI build this out and it saves a ton of time, but I've yet to see any examples (online or otherwise) or people building complex business rules and feature sets using AI.

The sad part is beginners using the boilerplate code won't get any practice building apps and will completely fail at the complex parts of an app OR try to use AI to build it and it will be terrible code.
There's a lot of different ways to manage and track RFCs, and honestly, it's really just up to your preference, you could use github issues, discussions, pull requests, a separate repository, or an external tool. Democratized projects, like Rust, or Wayland seem to gravitate to using pull requests. Personally, I think markdown files might be a better solution than github discussions, but it's really up to however you decide it should be managed.

I am sorry you are too blinded by your own ideology and disagreement with OpenAI to see others points of views. In my view, I do not want to constrain any person or entity on their access to knowledge, regardless of output product. I do have issues with entities or people consuming knowledge and then prevent others from doing so. I am not describing a scenario of a scarce resource but of an open one.

Public information should should be free for anyone to consume and use how they want.

Not sure that's conventional. Looking up the dictionary definition, it's clearly being used generally. It's the definition I was taught in school and probably it's used in this technical way in some fields or perhaps in science generally, but commenting on someone casually using "historic values" and going "I don't think you know what that means!" is the best way to help anyone get a better understanding of anything

The Montgomery bus boycott specifically targeted racist laws on segregation on public buses. [0] I don't see how you can get much more specific than that.

I think there's a better argument around the approach of Act Up, which focused attention on AIDS. [1] Many people were offended by their tactics, which were directed (again) at specific people, organizations, and media who were relevant to the topic. They were very effective. They targeted the root cause.

My recommendation is for journals to place at least equal importance to publishing replications as for the original studies.

Studies that have not been replicated should be published clearly marked as preliminary results. And then other scientists can pick those up and try to replicate them.

And institutions need to give near equal weight to replications as to original research when deciding on promotions. Should be considered every researchers responsibility to contribute to the overall field.
Nice. Still true though! We are in the bubble sort era of AI.
I'm hoping it won't have the same results as AI Detectors for schoolwork, which have marked many legitimate papers as fraud, ruining several students' lives in the process. One even marked the U.S. Constitution as written by AI [1].

It's fraud all the way down, where even the fraud detectors are fraudulent. Similar story to the anti-malware industry, where software bugs in security software like CrowdStrike, Sophos, or Norton cause more damage than the threats they prevent against.

We're also susceptible to bright colors and certain screen movement patterns and topic sequences, as practical the entire internet industry has figured out and has been using against us with competing degrees of success for about 20 years.

Humans are weak and easy to manipulate, and some more so than others. It seems like the question is always about the degree to which the governments ought to intervene to protect us from each other...and ourselves.
Gambling? The odds are always in favor of the gambling house. You can't do anything about their odds which ensure that you lose nearly 100% of the time.

There is a lot that you can do in the market where the odds are technically in your favor AND you can adjust the number with your own behavior to manage risk, further bettering your odds.

All of this is well known and provable. Spreading FUD about the market is a great way to keep people poor, indignant and suffering a lack of freedom.

It actually reminds me of descriptions I've heard of Larry Ellison (including the ones famously made by bcantrill) that he's very personable. You'll hear all these things about him that sound awful but then you meet him and he seems okay, quite reasonable, even. Then you start to observe that he's really just motivated by money, full stop. The charm is only there to get yours. That's the feeling I get reading about sama.
It looks like the standard-ish PMOD expansion connector found on a lot of FPGA development boards. Maybe it's compatible with those.
Could not agree more. The marketing for "AI" would have you believe it's a qualitative shift when it's really a quantitative shift.
It is an extremely common tactic used to shut down conversations about problems. If that wasn't what you were doing, I apologize to you for being wrong this time, but I don't apologize for making the mistake in the first place, because it's fairly well-founded based on extensive experience.

I feel like there must be something being lost in communication.

Since this is a docking port connector, they ought to be able to block it off on one side with some sort of temporary airtight seal and measure the direction the air within flows in to gradually narrow down where the leak is.

I get the impression that maybe NASA is avoiding openly discussing the cause of the leak to be nice to roscosmos (because despite all the geopolitical conflict, they're still trying to keep the station running as is for a few more years).
I have always said that while professors get paid less money than in industry, they are compensated in reputation to make up for it. Status and reputation are the currency of academia.
Agreed that it's not totally clear cut on some of these, but I would just advocate for:

- a recognition that humans have exploits, we're not rational automatons. The power/resource asymmetries in a lot of these industries make it fundamentally "unfair" to model this like we would rational utility maximizers

- evaluate these things in terms of societal harm

Dividing by land is not reasonable at all. Because immediately you will get into a discussion of which land absorbs CO2 more (rainforest vs desert), how air flows across borders, how to divide up the oceans which absorb a lot of CO2, which is very hard to resolve.

> The global scheduler is built on Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, and KV, and decides which Cloudflare location to schedule the container to run in. Each location then runs its own scheduler, which decides which metals within that location to schedule the container to run on.

So they just use the term "location" instead of "region".
It's complicated. Historically scientific fraud could be construed as 'good-intentioned' - typically a researcher in a cutting edge field might think they understood how a system worked, and wanting to be first to publish for reasons of career advancement, would cook up data so they could get their paper into print before anyone else.

Indeed, I believe many academic careers were kicked off in this manner. Where it all goes wrong is when other more diligent researchers fail to reproduce said fraudulent research - this is what brought down famous fraudster Jan Hendrik Schön in the field of plastic-based organic electronics, which involved something like 9 papers in Science and Nature. There are good books and documentaries on that one. This will only be getting worse with AI data generation, as most of those frauds were detected by banal data replication, obvious cuts and pastes, etc.

However, when you add a big financial driver, things really go off the rails. A new pharmaceutical brings investors sniffing for a big payout, and cooking data to make the patentable 'discovery' look better than it is is a strong incentive to commit egregious fraud. Bug-eyed greed makes people do foolish things.
Hip crowd's already moved on to Tcl, I know (with the advancements in v9.0 and all).
As a collective endeavor to seek out higher truth, maybe some amount of fraud is necessary to train the immune system of the collective body, so to speak, so that it's more resilient in the long-term. But too much fraud, I agree, could tip into mistrust of the entire system. My fear is that AI further exacerbates this problem, and only AI itself can handle wading through the resulting volume of junk science output.

If there are no signals which people can use as evidence in their models predicting market direction, what are people buying or selling on? Why would anyone read a quarterly report or have an investment thesis if it’s just a perfectly efficient market of spherical cows on a random walk, and analysis is a fools game as no evidence of where a company might be headed could possibly exist? It’s a very postmodern way of looking at things, I suppose.

Anyway I was just curious if the person had any facts on which they were basing their assessment that they could share. Seems not, which is fine. Opinions are allowed too, but I was curious since they stated it so matter if factly.
Deader than disco. I seem to reiterate the technical reasons every couple of months or so [1], therefore this time I'll talk more about the management of the project, although I was not a member of the core team so it's mostly observation from the outside in.

Historically, the operating system was largely used as a research platform for writing papers and theses [2]. Unfortunately, research code isn't production-grade code, so despite a lot of effort done to mainline some of it, not all of it was merged. Also, while there was a steady supply of new students to work on MINIX3, there was also a steady turnover because students who finish their studies generally move on to new things.

With the looming retirement of Andrew Tanenbaum in 2014, the project pivoted focus to embedded systems, due to the technical strengths and weaknesses of the system at that time. The ARM port was done around that time as part of it to leverage small board computers. Eventually, the funding dried up and the project slowed to a standstill, largely I believe due to an unsustainable maintenance burden caused by accumulated tech debt over decades that the remaining development manpower (all contributors working on their free time, including myself) couldn't address.

MINIX3 still has some unique cool stuff to this day like seamless live updates of system components, but for me it's too shackled by its past to have a future. It'd be a lot of work to bring it up to modern standards and personally by the time I'd be done with that I think ought to be done, it wouldn't look like MINIX anymore.

Bill Number: ABX2-2

Author: Assembly Member Lackey

Status: Introduced for the First Time

A new bill proposes a one-year suspension of the motor vehicle fuel tax, forcing businesses to pass every penny of savings directly to consumers. Any company that doesn't comply would face penalties for violating unfair competition laws. The bill also requires fuel sellers to show on receipts how much tax would have been charged. To cover the gap, money from the General Fund will be shifted to the Transportation Tax Fund. If passed, this bill would take effect immediately as an emergency measure.
Oh, I didn't realize there is a FSF free software directory. Thanks for the (re?)discovery.

I don't think anybody actually wants free software without any compromise to be impractical, so no, I would not say by design, it's just a sad reality.

My stronger concern is that it's likely impractical for free software advocacy.

When pressed for a favorite activity within the park, it was "that time we ran all the way from Japan to Soarin', dodging people".

There is no way to do any kind of science without putting trust in people. Science is not the universe as it is presented. Science is the human interpretation of observation. People are who carry out and interpret experiments. There is no set of methodology you can adopt that will ever change that. "Reproducibility" is important, but it is not a silver bullet. You cannot run any experiment exactly in the same way ever.

If you have independent measurements you cannot rule out bias from prior results. Look at the error bars here on published values of the electron charge and tell me that methodology or reproducibility shored up the result. https://hsm.stackexchange.com/questions/264/timeline-of-meas...
