Should be added that the malicious part is often done by a third party that takes over an open source project when the original developer doesn't have the time/energy/money to maintain their open source/free work. Many Chrome extensions end up being sold for thousands or just hundreds of dollars because there's no money in them and the dev isn't all that interested.

Society as a whole could easily avoid this by funding open source/free utilities to the point where malware makers need to spend significant cash to outbid yearly community support, but unfortunately maintaining anything available online for free is a thankless job that barely covers the electricity required to maintain the code.

In this case too, the developers behind the theme seemed to want to monetise their work, which had attained almost 4 million installs, in the past, but found themselves with a rather unwilling customer base. I don't know if they snapped and uploaded something malicious or if they're intentionally making it hard for forks to copy their work, but either way the lesson learned is that if you want to make money you should just abandon your free projects and start something else.

For the last two decades, I've lived by a similar mantra: Don't send anything over the internet you aren't comfortable becoming public knowledge.

Make the mantra broad enough and you don't have to care about specific services, they all the chance of leaking what is supposed to be "secret'.
It is, but that's the reality of today - auto-updates, "evergreen" releases. This was popularised by Chrome, and IMO fixed a LOT of headaches and allowed for much faster and more agile release cycles - the reality before was that a company like Microsoft would have to provide support for older versions of their software for X years and deal with the fallout of security issues with remaining older versions. (Web) developers had to be careful about adopting newer features because X% of their user base would still be on older versions of the runtime, leading to the invention of transpilers and the start of what is still a very complicated system in web front-end world.

> First off, youre misquoting me. Thats just despicable.

The purpose is to demonstrate that the complaints have no morally universal application. Despicable actions by Ukraine are given a carte blanche. I find it bizarre that people hold it up as some sort of beacon of liberal democracy.

>Second, you have shown us three examples of Ukraine fending off Russian aggression.

So the ends justify the means? Anyone who feels they are "fending off aggression" can kill civilians with carbombs and fatally abuse American citizens in their prisons? That's your position?

>I dont know why you are advancing Russian propaganda

Are you saying that NPR and the Helsinki Times are Russian propaganda outlets? That strikes me as completely irrational, but nevertheless a very common viewpoint among European warhawks. It's no surprise that Europe wasn't invited to the peace talks in Saudi Arabia.

The article claims that the Social Democrats are "defying the anti-incumbent mood that has ousted incumbent parties elsewhere," but polling shows a clear downwards trend https://www.politico.eu/europe-poll-of-polls/denmark/ So it's hard to claim that their policies are uniquely superior to those of parties in other countries; they're simply on a different election cycle and might get ousted in 2026 or 2030 or so.

My specific point was: why do you think a news article about 36 FTP inquiries in Ireland was at all relevant?

A spot check of the diversity links shows they all compare the statistics to the local, endogenous population. There is no reason to believe the white population of Virginia are intrinsically better teachers than the non-white population, and much evidence which shows systemic issues causing that discrepancy.

The emigration of doctors to the UK refers to an exogenous and relatively mobile population. With 68M people in the UK and 8.2B people worldwide, foreign-trained doctors are highly underrepresented in the UK workplace. Do note that your BMJ article highlights how many of those foreigner doctors are not black - "diversity" isn't a single axis.

In my own field, which is very specialized, most industrial-level research groups have a foreigner population far exceeding the local population because there aren't many people in the world who are interested it in, there aren't many places to get PhD-level education in it, and there aren't many places where you can be employed ... but those few companies will pay well for expertise and deal with visas. This makes for a highly mobile and global workforce.

If you want more British people in the NHS, look first to your penurious politicians who have been outsourcing medical training to other countries as a way to further enrich the rich.

Raise taxes (progressively on the rich) to increase NHS funding, provide better training and support for NHS staff, improve the pipeline to bring students into the medical field, including removing tuition fees.

Simply shutting off immigration won't fix those systemic issues, and this article is about the problems which will happen if you do that.

I think Recurse Center did a great job on these.

A lot of documents like this leave a lot to interpretation, and some of that is unavoidable, but I think this document does about as good a job as you can of making bad behaviors easy to recognize and avoid.

I also attended a Recurse talk, and they prefaced the Q&A with a rule I found helpful:

>Before you ask your question, think about whether it's a real question or just something you want to say in front of the speaker. If it's just something you want to say, approach the speaker afterwards and tell them privately, and reserve the questions for things other people might want to ask as well.

One of the cool things about groups openly publishing their rules of engagement is that others can decide if they want to engage with them. You find these abusive. Others find them helpful. By publicly stating these rules it helps people to decide if they want to join.

>Let us suppose, for instance, that we had indeed scanned over the entire universe and found that there was no evidence for life. Would we then be justified in saying "the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence"?

Scanned how? What's the operational definition of "life" in that hypothetical scenario? Maybe there's life, but you're looking where isn't, or you're missing something you don't classify as "living". Maybe the universal definition of life is vastly broader than we think.

ZeroAudio was born out of pure frustration. We all know that “this meeting could’ve been an email”… well, I kept thinking, this audio could be 3 bullet points!

People (including me) send voice messages because it’s easier for them, not for the recipient. It's common to ramble, repeat themselves, and let’s be honest—who has time to dig through old audios to find that one important detail?

So I built ZeroAudio:
Get a clear summary of any WhatsApp audio
Search and chat with old voice messages
100% encrypted & officially integrated

For now, we support the following languages:
Afrikaans, Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian.

Just forward an audio, and let our AI agent do the rest. No more wasting time.

I’d love to hear your thoughts—what do you think? What would make this even better? Let's chat!

> Your standalone web site is like a cactus in the middle of a vast desert nobody cares about

Yet, cacti thrive in the desert, uncaring about the opinions of others.

> in fact now at a mercy of Google's indexing policies.

Inherently, the Web doesn't carry "maximizing an audience" as a maxim. That's an expectation that the Web's denizens have come to believe in as a matter of principle: the only valuable reason to put anything online, is because you intend to cater to an audience.

That doesn't exclude owning a personal website that you'd just peruse for your own sake. In fact, the author writes as much:

> You can write at length, ramble nonsensically, and people can choose to read it or not. It’s about putting things out on the internet for yourself.

Like, sure, there are platforms where you could share cooking recipes. But maybe that's not something you want for yourself, for whatever reason, maybe you don't want to attract undue attention, and you just want to keep them in your own quiet corner of the Web, for yourself.

You might want to write for the sake of the craft of writing, and use the Web as your medium, rather then paper. Others happening to stumble on your work, is just a by-product of your choice to publish thoughts on the Web.

Maybe you don't care about search engines, and if you need someone to find your work, well, you can just hand them an URL.

From your perspective, all of that may sound horribly inefficient, and that's true, it is inefficient and not the right way to do things if your express goal were to cater to large audiences. But that doesn't make it any less valid an option to approach the Web.

> There is no bottom line here. It's all about economy and capitalism, which seem to always win.

Well, my argument is that the Web, such as it was, experienced an Eternal September with the advent of social media and mobile devices. Suddenly, everyone could reach an audience with nothing but a smartphone. And that notion caused millions, billions, flocking to those few central platforms that catered to this apparent want, creating a self-perpetuating feedback loop.

Whereas, do you thoughts and intentions really need to be shown in front of an audience of billions, just because that's possible now? Of course not.

Wanting to be like a cactus is perfectly valid, giving your thoughts a quiet spot in some corner of the Web you can call your own, not having to worry about likes, favorites, comments, shares or clicks. As long as doing so caters to your own intentions.
"abusive", really? you can debate their merits without hyperbole. it's not clear to me that you bothered to read past any of the headlines.

1. is explicitly given the caveat "when not immediately helpful".
2. is rude, regardless of whether it is helpful. if you want to help, join in and actually help.
3. is difficult to imagine ever being helpful, and when feigned is obviously not ordinary, but an obnoxious affectation.
4. has nothing whatsoever to do with being helpful.

I'll leave determining what is ordinary or authentic to others, but suffice to say I don't think either of those things is consistent case to case.
I thought it was some log file hackery, but it's actually about logarithms.
Can you elaborate? I have a hard time understanding how that describes any of the rules here.

For example:

>No feigning surprise

>Dan: What’s the command line?

>Carol: Wait, you’ve never used the command line?

I'll grant that someone may actually be surprised, so maybe it's "ordinary" and "authentic", but how is Carol's response helpful?

One thing he does point out closer to the conclusion is that currently they haven't found LLMs to be particularly useful, and notes also that AlphaProof is currently not quite there yet in writing succinct proofs. Nonetheless, he seems to be optimistic and thinks that these models will improve quickly.

I wanted to use this moment to be simply impressed by how much 'intelligence' we can get out of many people working towards a common goal with the same ideals. The most recent and biggest advances and progress in machine-assisted proofs has been, according to Tao, the improvements in more traditional communication/organisation/automatisation processes. This enabled many humans to put their efforts together and establish the foundations for future mathematics. So incredible.

I think people who'd like to bring a piece of old world back have a blind spot for the fact that social networks and their algorithms provide essential service of content discovery and possibly enabling building up on existing content (comments, reactions).

Any attempt to bring back home pages must essentially include a way to discover them. Search engines has been dead for that purpose for more than a decade.

If you want to give back autonomy to publishers, your solution must also grant the same autonomy to commenters. You need to enable all people to control their content, whether they are original posters or pre-posters and commenters.
