Tear gas and more lethal gasses were extensively used in WWI. Afterwards the various belligerents came to an agreement on which weapons were acceptable, and they specifically decided to include tear gas in that ban. There were various reasons they did this (fear of escalation to lethal gasses was the biggest concern) but one specific reason was the indiscriminate nature of the gas as well as the fact that it can cause unnecessary suffering. It is true that the Geneva Convention only bans tear gas for warfare, and allowed it for military riot control. The CWC then banned it even for those military applications in the 1990s. Some of the arguments made against the use of tear gas in military applications (in the 1920s and 1990s) also make good arguments for minimizing or eliminating its use in law enforcement settings.

Rationalists like to reduce everything to a simple black and white argument, which tends to inject imprecision and bad understanding into the discourse.
From Holub on Patterns (2004), patterns are discovered, not invented. The implementation of patterns is the idiom, which may or may not be idiomatic based on a given community of practice.

If it can be shown multiple people independently created something, the artifact is not the pattern itself--but the pattern is recognized because of so many similar implementations.

LLMs create (or re-create) and derive idioms of things, based on weights which are idioms themselves (probabilistic patterns). Then we can only say AI may understand patterns of color theory, or idiomatic execution (art style)--but that is all.

Only if what you took from the public domain is actually taken—as in, no longer available to the public. The scarcity model that we use for the literal commons (the shared fields in a village) doesn't apply when we're talking about bits.

I think TFA is onto something by pointing out that there are very real ways that some of the recent use of the commons falls into the realm of abuse that harms the commons. But most of the kinds of usage that has people giving up on FOSS doesn't actually fall into that category.
> With Open Source/Free Software as well as Creative Commons we have build pipelines to contribute to the commons (great!) but we never thought about how to defend those commons against appropriation.

Perhaps the CC people have not thought about this, but it is precisely why GPL exists, and later AGPL.

If courts find that derivative work comes from AI systems, the AGPL will become a very interesting legal landscape for even hosted models.

I actually like re-writing documentation, but if I can not reorganize the documentation too I am discouraged from re-writing. I believe a lot of contextual information is lost when people use confluence as a dumping ground and don't plan the structure of the documents.

I've emotionally moved to git for documentation, but I can not get people to follow or transition to better documentation methods once someone is emotionally tied to tribal knowledge and communication.

> how the same “liberals” who decried the invasion and corruption of Iraq, cheer on and demand limitless warfare

This is an absurdly dishonest take on Ukraine, and why “liberals” (or whatever you’re trying to say) support it.

There isn’t a single, real, person who supports “war” above and beyond “Russia should stop invading and leave” and it is extremely difficult to believe that stating otherwise was done in good faith.
Yeah you are probably right about that but they play a lot of mobile games so my assumption was that they like it at least somewhat? Maybe they are just bored. The PHD father is also a musician on the side so he got them into guitars and drums at an early age but they are wishy washy on that as well. I don't have kids so there is probably something obvious im missing and im probably overthinking it too much. Like I said, im probably suffering from old man syndrome.

I wanted to provide some more missing context since you brought this up and maybe this can spur some interesting discussion. I have been finding that they prefer simpler games like Mike Tysons punch out which really surprised me since I consider the mechanics of that game pretty basic. I got them Super smash brothers, Zelda, Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, super mario 64 and most recently Starfox 64 which they don't even want to take the time to go through the training properly, they get frustrated when they can't move the ship properly and have to press the C buttons to speed up or slow down. They love the easy wins and spectacle of super smash brothers though which is the game they play the most as in every other day. It kinda worries me because it would be one thing if they were striving to excel at smash, that would be cool but they aren't even doing that, just messing around until someone wins. Maybe you are right?

The important catch here is "paying attention".
I guess the way Tesla is marketing their "Full Self Driving" technology leads to people paying less attention. If you market your technology as "Emergency Breaking System" people will be less likely to pay less attention.

Also, an emergency breaking system doesn't have to be better than humans in general. It is sufficient to beat humans in certain facets like reaction time (kid jumping onto the road) or tough lighting. LiDAR has it's own weaknesses I guess. But if the driver and LiDAR can hit the breaks we get best of both worlds.
The core argument is that digital payment systems can fail very easily during times of "crises or war". This is because typical digital payment systems by design only work if the devices are connected to the internet. Moreover, credit mostly only works if you get permission from one of two foreign companies.

The question I have is, can you design a digital currency that works without the internet?

The way bitcoin and friends work is that you prevent the double spend problem by announcing the transaction on the network and waiting enough time that it becomes computationally infeasible to reverse the transaction.

However, can you design a hardware device, with some sort of security enclave, using which when the private key corresponding to some coins are transferred from the sender to receiver, the receiver can confirm that the keys have indeed been deleted by the sender.

Obviously, a look-alike device with a fake enclave can be built to scam someone. But if the practical difficulty of creating such a device is more than the difficulty of printing fake cash, then you can use such a digital currency.
> The reposte I receive when suggesting that society utilize charity as a vessel for ensuring the poor get what they need

Well you're kind of begging the question in your proposal. Sure, if we could ensure (the word you used) that needs would be met by private charity, that would be great. But the government IMO is a useful backstop to prevent the absolute worst case outcomes, and there's no reason private charity can't stack on top of that: which indeed it does.

If requesting private charity is sufficient to solve the problem (let's say... homelessness?), then why isn't it solved already? Is your contention that if people didn't have to pay taxes, they'd charitably give enough to solve the problems that today's combination of government and private charity cannot? It seems like if we're going to charity our way out of these problems (not that I believe that's necessarily the right directional solution), we need at least both of the forms we currently have.

I personally have not met anyone ever who believes private charity is undesirable, so not sure what change you're proposing.
> Contrary to what one might expect, for all of these personality effects the sex differences tend to be larger-- not smaller-- in more individualistic, gender-egalitarian countries.

I can't find the link but several years ago there was another paper that drew a similar conclusion regarding gender expressions such as dress; distinctions tended to be greater in wealthier Western countries than in poorer, especially non-Western cultures.

I've discussed this with a gender nonconforming friend who helps counsels young trans adults. They've made similar anecdotal observations. Modern Western culture is increasingly seeing exaggerated gender (and other) expressions, and this is no less true in "woke" culture, and no less true if not more true in the gender non-conforming camps. Modern society still increasingly defines "female" and "male" in terms of how these are externally expressed--clothing, mannerisms, social groups, etc.

I'm not trying to insinuate that this is necessarily pathological or wrong, just perhaps unintuitive given all the egalitarian and counter-culture virtue signaling. The wealthier a society the more degrees of freedom there are for these very basic dynamics to play out--i.e. groups, especially gender groups, distinguishing themselves. To the extent there's a meaningful difference from previous generations, it's that groups are freer to define their own expression. (For some definitions of freer, but notably not at the individual level except in-so-far as you can now more easily jump groups. But now you're having to do more work to fit into your chosen group.)

I believe you have misunderstood this (extremely dumb) article.

The idea and significance of the proper noun 'The Geneva Convention' is a much different class than just a noun like 'criminal' or 'murder'. The point of invoking it is not to hide behind an abstraction, but in fact to appeal to something specific.

Unless you just read that article as "how to be uncharitable," your point does not make any sense.

Interesting article. The connection to Morse code makes a lot of sense (C being similar to S). The requirement to move I below 8 to type 1870 or 1871 quickly is hilarious in retrospect. At the time who could have known the decision to focus on efficiency for the coming decade could be so enduring?
I think you mean superseded
This strikes at the core of the idea of solidarity.

If you see injustice but do nothing, you invite the same injustice on yourself.

Injustice at it's core is an arbitrary execution of power, so suffering injustice anywhere is to let power stay unchecked which communicates that there are no consequences for abuses of power, which only invites more abuses of power.

If there aren't consequences for power being used against others, there won't be consequences for power being used against you.
Tracking is not synonymous with ads. Advertising was big business back when you had to just put a jingle on the airwaves or paint a billboard and trust that the right demographic would happen on it. It is plenty possible display ads and make money from them without invasive tracking, for example duck-duck-go does so. On the other hand if you do not fight tracking, paying for the service is no defense, they will just double-rip every time, triple dip if they think they can slot ads in.
> it was effectively "are there meaningful safety features provided to the unsafe zlib-rs code in question in that aren't already available in C toolchains/ecosystems?"

Ah, so that was like, not in your comment, but in a parent.

> And there really aren't.

I mean, not all of the code is unsafe. From a cursory glance, there's surely way more here than I see in most Rust packages, but that doesn't mean that you get no advantages. I picked a random file, and chose some random code out of it, and see this:

pub fn copy<'a>(
dest: &mut MaybeUninit<DeflateStream<'a>>,
source: &mut DeflateStream<'a>,
) -> ReturnCode {
// SAFETY: source and dest are both mutable references, so guaranteed not to overlap.
// dest being a reference to maybe uninitialized memory makes a copy of 1 DeflateStream valid.
unsafe {
core::ptr::copy_nonoverlapping(source, dest.as_mut_ptr(), 1);
}

The semantics of safe code, `&mut T`, provide the justification for why the unsafe code is okay. Heck, this code wouldn't even be legal in C, thanks to strict aliasing. (Well, I guess you could argue that in C code they'd be of the same type, since you don't have "might be uninitialized" in C's typesystem, but again, this is an invariant encoded in the type system that C can't do, so it's not possible to express in C for that reason either.)

Well, if a government project can easily push you out, then you're not really a state-of-the-art.

Governments need to think long-term. And one danger of relying on something like Notion is vendor lock-in. You can't easily migrate your data out of Notion, with all the rich content preserved (edit history, text comments, etc.)

EU can try to mandate a common interoperability standard, but it takes years and the end result always ends up being behind the state of the art.
I have only ever used macports, but my first and only MacBook was salvaged from bigcorp IT, and is a 2009 model so homebrew is too new for it.

Yes, there are plenty of them. Not sure what the SOTA is, though. Similar to super-resolution, it is relatively simple to create a nearly-infinite dataset for these; pick a clean image, then introduce JPG artifacts. Then train a model to invert the process.

It might be an unpopular viewpoint....but neocolonialism is necessary.

Perhaps not the right choice of word but I mean the term 'neocolonialism' here in the sense of introducing peoples to our ways of life: democracy, capitalism, human rights.

The long and short of it is that, you can only get with the web of conflicting interests, pure monetary dealings, etc so far. You don't make any lasting alliance with a peoples and a system fundamentally opposed to you. If you isolate away, they will continue falling into the trap of systems like China and Russia who are quite happy to take your place and have completely opposite ideals to you. Eventually you will be left more and more alone on the world stage with no true allies if you let them keep doing it, and one day you will be finished off by soft or hard means when those entities, who kept expanding their outreach, became powerful enough.

Tldr; Defensive fire. Its not that you want to engage in neocolonialism, but you will have to do so as long as your enemies engage in neocolonialism. The logic is no different than that behind maintaining a traditional military power really.

>one specific reason was the indiscriminate nature of the gas

What are you talking about? The canisters launched by police are probably as discriminate as you can be when firing into a crowd. Are you expecting some sort of weapon that can precisely target the rioters in a crowd but leave everyone alone?

>as well as the fact that it can cause unnecessary suffering.

In the sense that "tear gas is just mustard gas", or "protesters have every right to be there and therefore any sort of discomfort is 'unnecessary suffering'"? What amount of "suffering" would you find acceptable?

Then I woke up really quickly but it seemed like avea have passed. It was crazy. I was super healthy back then and don't have any issues or take any medicines.

There were seamstresses who enjoyed sewing prior to the industrial revolution, and continued doing so afterwards. We still have people with those skills now, but it's often in very different contexts. But the ability to create a completely new garment industry was possible because of the scale that was then possible. Similarly for most artesanal crafts.

The industry will change drastically, but you can still enjoy your individual pleasures. And there will be value in unique, one-off and very different pieces that only an artesan can create (though there will now be a vast number of "unique" screen printed tees on the market as well)

The UI had very few states/pages. 99% of your time was just on the project page to with every card action 1-click away.

It also had an optional feature to cap the number of story-point cards in the sprint column based on an upper estimate of the team's story-point velocity. I.e. if the team can only do at max 10pts of cards per week, that's all you are allowed to queue up in sprint. This could be overwritten to force more cards into the sprint, but in practice it provided a nice safety guard from over flooding a sprint's delivery expectations.
This isn't a case of a noncentral fallacy.

> "Tear gas is bad because it violates the Geneva convention" makes as much sense as "MLK is a bad person because he's a criminal".

Not really, no. The Geneva Convention has specific reasoning and rationale for making tear gas illegal during warfare, which does apply to tear gas and make perfect sense.

That's not the same thing as saying taxation is theft, or MLK is bad.
