This article was written due to recent events.

- IMO it should've acknowledged that there is genuine "intolerance" of foreigners/gays/trans, not the speech/writing you hear about in the news, but specifically the physical attacks and legal discrimination in third-world countries and rarely by extremists in first-world countries. And that seemingly-mild speech can lead to blatant hate speech, then physical attacks and legal discrimination; but it's not inevitable, and analogously when society swings to the center, it can swing too far to the other side, but maybe there's friction that makes it swing less and pulls it closer to an ideal equilibrium.

- It also states that Twitter doesn't censor left-wingers, which is factually wrong, unless every case of journalists being suspended and links being auto-removed is made-up or overblown. 4chan is an example of true free speech (sans calls to violence etc.), but it doesn't help the argument for multiple reasons. I think it's too early to say that "wokeness" is being rolled back; the truth is, woke intolerance isn't as pervasive as people think it is, so you will always find examples of people who directly contradict it and prosper.

However,

I strongly agree with the core message: there will always be people who use "morals" to control others. Taken straight from the article: "There's a certain kind of person who's attracted to a shallow, exacting kind of moral purity, and who demonstrates his purity by attacking anyone who breaks the rules. Every society has these people. All that changes is the rules they enforce." The article applies this and the remaining parts to left-wing "social-justice warriors" but you can apply it to right-wing religious zealots.*

The reality of "free speech", "live-and-let-live", and other compromises, are that people use them for their own agenda, to get more control. But that's OK. One of the reasons we have as much free speech as we do today, is that there are groups from all sides pushing it for their own reasons, and within these groups there's an opening to express your opinion. The vast majority of people are more focused on helping themselves than they are hurting you, even when hurting you is on their agenda, which means you can benefit from compromising with even smart people who hate you.

* Also, Paul Graham isn't really saying anything that he hasn't before. See: https://paulgraham.com/heresy.html, https://paulgraham.com/conformism.html, and https://paulgraham.com/say.html, written in 2022, 2020, and 2004. For a different left-biased take, see https://paulgraham.com/pow.html, written in 2017. But even if he was, this response stands. You can pick decent messages even out of articles people far, far more "right-wing" say, although it's a lot harder, and unlike this one the message you pick out probably won't be what the writer intended.

> have absolutely no need to get anywhere near the line of what anyone would think of being lewd

How is that relevant?

The point is if one party can inconsequentially, to them, subjectively define lewdness and cause consequence to others through it, you will wind up with abuse and backlash. Whether it’s lewdness or moral uprightness or loyalty to a flag is besides the point.
I’m not the one who quantified things. Graham did. I take it then you agree with me that Graham’s statement was written without merit or justification.

EDIT: Graham wrote, “Not a problem on the scale that the woke believe it to be, but a genuine one.”

He stated a limit on the level of racism. He gave a bound on it. He said it is less that what woke people think it is. CrissCross is being deliberately obtuse. This edit is for people who come across this thread. My comment pointed out that Graham didn’t justify this belief. I don’t know the level of racism and I’m not arrogant enough to try.

This is a bad advice.

Usually coming from an over-engineering mentality (that many engineers suffer from, including myself).

Part of the engineering culture is to find the _right_ solution for the job. Not the most _engineered_ one.

Copyright is a legal construct in its entirety. The perspective that there is a difference between which use cases are "allowed" for public-domain works absolutely is invalid.

If you are proposing some creating some new framework distinct from copyright for restricting the way people may adapt ideas originated by others to their own use cases, that calls for a great deal more explanation and argumentation than you've yet offered.
That is already illegal under US law. I suppose a foreigner buying votes would likewise be illegal.

In any event I agree with you that buying votes is a perversion of democracy and should not be allowed.
Did we read the same article?

> People were kidnapped and forced to work as laborers in other countries, a practice called blackbirding. Prime agricultural land was taken by planters to raise crops such as coconuts for export, with natives coerced into working for the planters. Up until 1919, employers were free to flog the natives for disobedience; afterward, flogging was technically forbidden but still took place. Colonial administrators jailed natives who stepped out of line.

> The natives were saying that the spirits of their ancestors had appeared to several in the villages and told them that all flour, rice, tobacco, and other trade belonged to the New Guinea people, and that the white man had no right whatever to these goods

These "cargo cults" are not a cult of people who think of these cargo as magical gifts. They are well aware of the socioeconomic forces that oppress them. They are cults of people who think that they are rightfully owed these goods

How is that in any way similar to the pop sci definition?

I think that a lot of vital open-source projects have a lack of contributors because people originally contributed for the good of the community, but they got tired of increasingly seeing their work being used by mega corporations to fill up their coffers, effectively using open source developers as free labor.

People do stuff out of passion, they eschew leisure time, time with family, they trade opportunities to make money to do open source.

But then, they increasingly see their work being used to enable products that increasingly limit your freedom and/or outright spy on you, become paid cloud offering without you seeing a dime for that, are used to train AI with the overt goal of replacing your labor class and depress wages in one of the last professions where there was still a modicum of social mobility.

In light of that, either you stop contributing, or you make sure to contribute to projects that have absolutely no chance of being used commercially against you. Either that, or start paying for my work.

I am not going to spend my time making Nadela, Bezos and Altman even more rich than what they are now. Fuck that shit.
"Benedict wouldn’t offer a description of the devices or say what materials they contained, but a law enforcement official familiar with the matter said they contained an explosive powder and were set to go off via the timer."

and

"It’s still unknown why the devices did not explode, the official said. One theory under investigation is that the timers were set incorrectly. Another is that the batteries may have been improperly connected, the official said"

Go google pictures of the "pipe bomb". It is cartoonishly stupid looking. It's using a mechanical kitchen timer, that has no electricity or battery, as the ignition for $0.50 of pipe from Home Depot will with, if I had to guess, powder from roadside fireworks. Everything is connected with alligator clips, not even real wiring or soldering, and in one photo one clip is clearly attached to plastic. This isn't a bomb, it's a firework with a non-existent detonator, and the law enforcement is deliberately vague about because they know it isn't a bomb, but that's no the narrative they want. It's not even clear how they knew anything at all about the devices considering they used a EOD robot to destroy it on-site.

Why are the not-bombs in plain sight? Not even attempted to be hidden? Why does is it designed to cartoonishly look like a bomb and not disguised as literally anything else? Why not put it in, I don't know, a plastic grocery bag at least? Why put it in a completely empty alley where there would be virtually no one around to be hurt?

This was designed to cause a scare, not hurt anyone. It screams false flag to me, and it worked, because every media outlet reported this as a bomb with zero critical thought or journalism involved, and the entire world now thinks there were bombs when it seems absurdly obvious there wasn't.
> See how much pearl clutching you will get by southern “anti-woke” folks when someone imitates their voice

Graham’s point, generously, is you’ll always have pearl-clutching prigs. What matters is if they’re empowered.

> are very sensitive if you talk about their way of life or say anything that can be interpreted as anti-Christian

But they haven’t—until recently—had the power to e.g. end someone’s career or ability to perform in New York or San Francisco over it.
> who never asked Greenland whether it wanted to a colony in the first place

If that was the criterion for legitimacy in such a claim for land then I have to ask, who asked the native Americans anything? Or Mexicans?

This kind of "works for me but not for you" argument, similar to the one you threw above (US to "buy democracy" by paying people to vote for independence) and then dodged any follow-up, can only take you so far in a quality conversation.
Try reading "French for Reading" by Karl C. Sandberg. It refreshed my French a lot, very quickly, and I was able to read young-adult-level fiction with a little help from a dictionary. Also, I can grok technical stuff pretty well. I get no practice at spoken French, unfortunately. We don't have a large population of speakers here.
I’ve never played this game but it reminds me of some railroad game I did play where you could put all of your money into a commodity, and that would raise the price of the commodity… which would start causing the overall value of your assets to explode exponentially… which allowed you to justify absurd loans from the bank… which compounded in a loop where you could start to break the math of the game as the price of coal detached from reality and your market cap soared into the quadrillions and beyond…

Good times
If the claims about AI capabilities are true, it's matter of time before all providers to switch to homegrown solutions.
And yet it can't be dismissed out of hand either. AI's contributions to society are truly multi-faceted.
The advice seems reasonably good but I needed to bail on the post because of the cartoons. The anime crossed with precious moments style of illustration is just too creepy and inserts a lot of doubt to me personally on the authoritativeness of the author.
We love MuckRock! And we made the original FOIA request to the VA for this dataset via MuckRock’s platform. You can see the actual screenshot in the “Reclaiming These Records” legal papers section. They also get a shoutout in our colophon for indirectly inspiring the FOIA-by-fax-via-web method, although I believe their site uses e-mail, including interfacing with agency FOIA portals when possible.
The author of the article seems confused, saying:

"The important thing to remember is that the output token of the LLM (black box) is not deterministic. Rather, it is a probability distribution over all the available tokens in the vocabulary."

He is saying that there is non-determinism in the output of the LLM (i.e. in these probability distributions), when in fact the randomness only comes from choosing to use a random number generator to sample from this output.
> I’m not the one who quantified things. Graham did

He quite literally didn’t. There are almost no numbers in the entire essay. The argument you object to is qualitative.

> take it then you agree with me that Graham’s statement was written without merit or justification

No. The exact limit is both irrelevant and not definable. Your comment demanded a “scale to the problem.”

EDIT: > EDIT: Graham wrote, “Not a problem on the scale that the woke believe it to be, but a genuine one.”
He stated a limit on the level of racism. He gave a bound on it. He said it is less that what woke people think it is

One, still not quantitative. Two, nobody is debating whether there is a limit. (I said “there is no limit to racism that has ever been proposed by the far left,” and you said “obviously there is a limit.” These statements can coëxist.)

The question is whether Americans’ subjective sense of our own racism is accurate. And I’m saying that someone who claims there is more racism than the average person thinks and then fails to define it (the burden being on them, after all, for rejecting the status quo), that said person is probably overestimating it. Not necessarily. And there are plenty of activists and academics who are quite precise about defining and measuring racism. But those folks aren’t usually the ones running around online calling others racist.
A big swing and a miss by Paul Graham for a season-losing strikeout. Above all, he begs the question in the original sense of "beg the question" - he defines the terms "woke" and "wokeness" by themselves. He uses the secondary and willful redefinitions of those who would permanently corrupt the terms. Further, he excludes the original and true meanings of "woke" and "wokeness" by denying that they are still in play or still in use merely on his say-so, perhaps because that conveniently fits his narrative. Excluding contradicting data is how you corrupt an analysis to match the thesis statement. Additionally, matching the terms to anything to do with "political correctness" is the same: borrowing the right's redefinitions in a circular question-begging fashion. It's also all rather unoriginal and tired. We've had many decades of this anti-political correctness sophistry if not so well-written. It's cud pre-chewed by a thousand dull-eyed ruminants. What is accomplished here? I think we've only learned about Paul Graham and it isn't flattering.
IIRC even the author of Balatro has said he would be fine with any state in which his game gets rated the same as games with actual gambling, instead of those games getting a 3+ rating.
'AI' is kind of the perennial tech fad. The first 'AI winter' (period of diminished interest in 'AI') is usually reckoned to have started in _1966_. It is, in some sense, the _default_ state of the tech industry to be overly excited about AI; the periods when it is _not_ are the exceptions. The current one is unusually extreme, mind you.
the fact that you can’t enjoy a good image or not without wondering whether or not it’s an AI image is the problem here; not the AI
The lack of consistency is the entire point. The rest of your points don't matter to me in this discussion because whether or not games that have mechanics that look like gambling should be age gated doesn't matter when companies are playing both sides.
Since it has Ethernet, you can use older tooling to connect to a Linux server as a "go-between" both for some basic web-proxy and filesharing.

Worst case scenario you use an FTP client, but it might be possible to build some other ancient filesharing software like Netatalk - https://netatalk.io

You of course want to make sure your OS 9 box isn't directly on the Internet, but it's quite capable of communication if what it's talking to drops down.

This is the sort of hysteria that got comic books censored in the the 1950s and "violent" video games in the 1990s. The argument that fictional depictions of undesired behavior cause real cases of it just isn't supported by evidence, but only assumed.
I would like to see some of the faceted garnets found. The ones in the pictures all look natural to me.
> Did it hurt anything to change the default?

Yes. Change always has a cost associated with it. In some cases, that cost is repaid with benefits. In this case, it hasn't and will never pay benefits.

> Why are you so attached to the old name?

Because I refuse to comply with self righteous busybodies who think it's their job to ensure that everyone is acting right. It was obnoxious when those busybodies were railing against comic books/rock music/rap/movies/video games, and it's just as obnoxious when they rail against "master" as a technical term.
The government doesn't get to dictate what the word "engineer" means. An engineer does engineering. Some software developers carefully design very complex systems. That's engineering.

That said, I am with you, the word is overused. Most developers aren't engineering, they're slapping frameworks together, meeting product deadlines and creating mostly godawful programs. Some of them, very few, do their work with enough rigor and care that they could call what they do engineering.

How have we ended up with the worst of the public and private markets with app stores?
I don't disagree some people have bad, overly nitpicky PR habits and they should be trained out of that.

That said, sitting down before hand and planning is useful for the big picture but one of the big benefits of PRs, as I explained earlier, is to eliminate lots of wasted time going back and forth in meetings about how to implement something and instead empowering engineers to go write code and then to iterate on actual implementations instead of endlessly discussing ahead of time. So there is a balance there where you make sure everyone is aligned on what you're building but also being open to suggestions on your PRs. Sometimes that may mean rewriting large chunks in exchange for drastically reducing pre-coding discussions.
LLMs are tools used by people, like typewriters, paintbrushes, and other types of algorithm.

If a work is in the public domain, that means that people are free to copy it, redistribute it, modify it, and create derivative works from it, using whatever tools suit them.
We're both wrong. I was referring to Dole who was not a sponsor but was a supporter and advocate.
I take the author's point, but I still prefer languages that can be parsed in a single pass. Most commonly, this means it is written in a top down style where every reference is defined somewhere above the usage. It then naturally falls out that programs can be easily read bottom to top and the presentation will make sense.

You can put one intro comment at the top that tells the reader to go to the bottom and read from there. The actual main method code is almost always the most important and reliable information anyway.

In vim, I can open the file 'G' to the bottom, scroll up to the main function and start reading. Any def I want to look up I can select and find with '?'. The main catch is you need qualified imports rather than c style to make this work the best.

Writing in this style, I find that I don't need files. Everything I need for a module is already in a single file. I don't even need lsp since I personally don't ever use autocomplete in any context, programming or otherwise, and search is trivial when all defs are in a predictable order in a single file.

Now if I were writing a book, rather than a program, I would probably use a different format. Generally though, I think we should let programs be programs and books be books.

Do you have any idea how fast current global warming is compared to historical changes? Go to https://xkcd.com/1732/ and scroll all the way down. That should give some perspective on that.

Do you have any idea how much more devastating current global warming is in our civilization of 8 billion people, all interconnected socioeconomically?

Or are you trying to say that global warming isn't human related? In that case, are you (a) willfully ignorant or (b) arguing in bad faith?
It is, also, very Soviet’esque.
I certainly rescind my insufficient CPU horsepower accusation in that case. I'm not entirely familiar with Qubes's innards, but the overhead it imposes must be substantial.

> it’s now “woke” to say that multiple police officers shouldn’t kill someone by sitting on their neck for 9 minutes

He’s using the moment as a time stamp, not rendering commentary on it per se. Floyd was arguably the peak of legitimacy and acceptance of what we (and he) now calls woke culture. (I’d set the time a little later, around the ‘22 midterms, but we’re in the same ballpark.)
I have a T420 I've been using for years. Upgraded to 16GB of RAM, SSD, swapped the dual core i5 for a 4 core/8 thread i7 (yes, the CPU is in a socket!), and swapped the 1600x900 crappy display for a newer 1080p panel that looks much better. I absolutely love this laptop and am not looking forward to the day when it's too old for the modern web.
