My claim is that intentionally dishonest speech shouldn't obviously enjoy the same protections as earnest speech.

> That is the usual degradation of freedom of speech and not at all different from other cases before.

That's a really sweeping statement and I think perhaps (fittingly) is an intentional mischaracterization of the history of attacks on free speech in the US. E.g. looking at a pretty generic source, whether someone is lying has basically never been the criteria that the government uses to suppress stuff. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_the_United_State...

- In the 19th century the postmaster refused to carry abolitionist literature, because of its topic, not whether statements were true or false.

- The Comstock Law forbade the postal service from carrying even personal letters with sexual content -- again, regardless of truth or falsity.

- The Sedition Act of 1918 forbade "disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive language" against the government/flag etc, again regardless of truth or falsity.

- Charles Coughlin lost his ability to broadcast and a newspaper mailing permit b/c of his Nazi-sympathizing views, but not specifically because of lies.

- The Smith Act of 1940 went after communists and others who advocate the overthrow of the government or even to affiliate with an association which so advocates. Again, no requirement of lying required.

- The current emphasis on banning queer books, identifying peace activists who called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as being "aligned with terrorists", or forbidding government agencies from mentioning "diversity" are all entirely indifferent on whether a person or agency is telling the truth.

Even in the colonial era, Alexander Hamilton's argument for freedom of the press, when defending newspaper printer John Peter Zenger emphasized the right to tell the truth: "nature and the laws of our country have given us a right to liberty of both exposing and opposing arbitrary power ... by speaking and writing the truth."

We have civil legal mechanisms to fight those who lie in a manner which harms the reputation of a person or company (defamation, libel, slander). We have criminal legal mechanisms to fight those who lie in specific ways to enrich themselves (e.g. wire fraud). To my understanding, we don't have any kind of legal mechanism to bring to bear when someone knowingly lies for purposes of manipulating public discourse -- e.g. claiming that (unnamed) doctors are sitting on death panels, or that a large number of (unnamed) staff in the State Department are communists, or that the 15-minute city is a conspiracy (of no one in particular) to imprison people in their neighborhoods.

If you have literature you care to recommend that makes a compelling argument for why lies/misinformation specifically be protected, please cite specific documents rather than waving at "literature exposure" in general.
It seems you're talking about about self-hosting a website or web-app that you are developing for the public to use.

My vision of self-hosting is basically the opposite. I only self-host existing apps and services for my and my family's use. I have a TrueNAS box with a few disks, run Jellyfin for music and shows, run a Nextcloud instance, a restic REST server for backing up our devices, etc. I feel like the OP is more targeted this type of "self hosting".

You would be amazed how many battery packs are multiple 18650s in a trenchcoat. Even EV battery packs use them. Though it does raise the question - wouldn't an old EV battery be a better solution than stripping apart laptops?
You still can‘t style select elements in anything but brand new alpha chrome. It‘s been 20 years since that feature was requested.
Thanks! It is available on Desktop immediately after you finish a segment. I'm thinking of bringing it back to mobile. I made it a toggle to save some space on small devices
People will often cheer on all kinds of disgusting behavior including torture. Our laws should help to discourage the base instincts we haven't grown out of and make our lives more fair and reasonable than it would be if we left things to the whims of angry mobs, robber barons, and bigots
I am interested and think I have some overlap. Looking forward to connect.
This is primarily for computer chess, where the draw rate is even higher than in super-GM level chess. It's an alternative to having engines play from a preset position where one side starts with a significant advantage, which is what usually happens in computer chess tournaments. It's essentially the subset of Chess960 positions that don't need modifications to the castling rule, and thus should work on all engines without requiring any changes to the code.
I don't think this variant is for playing, but for practicing tactical games against a computer.
I've found that the quality of LLM output depends enormously on how you structure the context. After experimenting with various documentation approaches, I've had the best results using MECE principles (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) to organize project knowledge.

For Python/data engineering specifically, creating clear category boundaries between data models, transformation logic, and validation rules makes the LLM much more likely to generate code that follows your architectural patterns.

The key is treating documentation as a "context API" for the AI rather than just human-readable text. When your documentation has a clear hierarchical structure without overlaps or gaps, the LLM can navigate the problem space much more effectively.
> We really have no idea whether consciousness is something that can arise from computation, or whether it is somehow dependent on the physical substrate of the universe.

I don't understand this argument. How is the computer running the computation not part of the "physical substrate of the universe"? _Everything_ is part of the universe almost by definition.
> why so few of AMD's GPUs have official ROCm support

Because "official ROCm support" means "you can rely on AMD to make this work on your system for your critical needs". If you want "support" in the "you can goof around with this stuff on your own and don't care if there's any breakage" sense, ROCm "supports" a whole lot of AMD hardware. They should just introduce a new "experimental, unsupported" tier and make this official on their end.
Any user facing website that is not a portfolio site is interactive. The days where the web is display-only are long past.
At least the tooling should be way nicer. It is way more of an OCaml language than Scala. Also much like having to deal with JVM ecosystem in Scala, you'd need to deal with .NET ecosystem in F#. In my opinion, the latter can be an advantage. F# has a lot of depth but you do not need to grasp it fully to be productive with it.
When I did the mandatory lab exercises in physics, there was a more benign variant of that problem: the conventional value had to fall inside the error interval. However, it was allowed to add additional errors with a good explanation (...some creativity). I really didn't like to increase the estimated errors to make the result work, and I think the (unimportant) grades were reduced for doing it.

I remember being really consistent with the stopwatch in one exercise, so sadly the spread of measurements (implying a natural uncertainty) was small. That was bad!
Runway Gen-4 [video]
Thanks for the suggestion. Will check it out.
Same with Nim. It works surprisingly well with AI tools. I think both have more straightforward syntax so it’s easy to generate. I’m curious how more complex languages do like C++ / Rust.

Last time I tried C++ with Copilot it was terrible.
This: provide cards with extra larger VRAM pools than the competition - to provide a real edge in LLM inferencing - and the users will come.

This happened with bitcoin.
I'd rather they ban political posters trying to turn the place into another subreddit dump where they can call everyone they dislike Nazis
Certainly not if it is done by randomly giving one player a substantial advantage.
I don't have any problem with the idea that Microsoft's technologies are "shitty" after all the response of my work laptop to its mandatory Windows 11 upgrade was a non-copyable diagnostic message with an opaque code in it which, as I understand it, is basically the equivalent of "Huh, oops, maybe try again?" and my colleague spent a week trying to uh, share data from a "Sharepoint" table.

But .NET's CLR doesn't seem especially shitty. It's not awesome, I don't feel that RIIR urge when I work with C# and I probably wouldn't with F# either but it's fine, it's like Java again, or maybe Go or Python. It's fine. I don't hate it and that's enough.
Correct, there is no public IP address exposed to my home.

Right now my "servers" are Dell micro i5s. I've have used RPI 3 and 4 in the past. My initial foray into self-hosting were actual servers. Too hot, too noisy and too expensive to run continuously for my needs, but I did learn a lot. I still do even with the micros and pis.
That's my point. This is a website with readership comparable to the WSJ that is pulling in reader revenue closer to the Minnesota Star Tribune.

It's just something that I feel should be in the conversation. The Guardian's business model is clearly successful for them, but IMO it's not something that can apply to most other newspapers.

Based on my napkin math for the WSJ compared to the Guardian, the WSJ would only expect to get ~5% of their revenue replaced if they switched business models. Even if I'm off by a factor of 5, you'd still be looking at a 75% reduction.

I don't say this to be critical of the Guardian. I love their work and I'm happy they've chosen the model they have, because it enables access to high-quality journalism for free. It is also a great case study proving that this business model works and can be sustainable. But I don't want people drawing the conclusion that every newspaper could survive like this.
> That’s to say, it may be a legally permitted form of copyright violation, or it may be a legally prohibited form of copyright violation.

That's arguably not really accurate, since statutory fair use itself (and this is why it is written in a less straightforward fashion than most of the rest of copyright law) is a direct statutory codification of what the Supreme Court found to be a Constitutional limit (based on the First Amendment) on the copyright power.

Fair use is not a “legally permitted form of copyright violation”, it is the space where the federal government has no power under the Constitution to create exclusivity as part of copyright.

Here's my secret: be the spreader of current events to your coworkers. If you do this enough, they'll mimic you and do the same. Now you have an army of web-crawlers reporting back to you and all you need to do is process that information and decide what's important.

The only way I found out about a website I've come to use pretty much daily because it proved itself very useful to my job is though this method.
Two years ago my mother's memory care home had an American Battle of the Bulge veteran and Bronze Star winner who was sharp as a tack.

He was 99 and said he just wanted to live to be 100, but sadly he didn't make it.

I remember my late grandmother telling us they had made mittens for my great uncle, but he died in that battle before the mittens arrived.

Crazy to think I passed up my chance to have a cup of coffee with a man who might have fought beside my great uncle.

Your comment shows that you don‘t have a lot of experience in that matter. „Pure JS“ (there is no such thing) has perhaps the tiniest standard library of anything out there. The rest is browser vendor code, of which a lot depends on browsers and versions. Hell, they didn‘t even get date parsing right.
Hi, interested in a couple roles from your website. Do you have an email address to reach out to? Thanks!
Assuming a dog only cares about how a duck sounds and not how it smells. We know that wouldn't work for other dogs. Which brings up something about simulating other animals. They're not human, and likely have sensory experiences that differ from our own. Perhaps a nematode worm is simple enough that we don't have to worry, but a dog or a duck are complex enough that we might leave that part out of the simulation. Or just not know how to fully simulate dog olfactory processing.
Many spiritual and philosophical traditions claim the immortality of the soul. Socrates argues forcefully for it in Phaedo.

Nearly all mystics (and many if not most neuroscientists) also come to the conclusion that our world of the senses is an illusion. This doesn't mean that the illusion doesn't have rigid laws, but it does challenge the materialistic assumption that the soul, or consciousness, becomes nothing at the time of physical/biological death.

If that is too fuzzy and mystical, I'd also suggest reflecting more deeply on the concept of technologically facilitated immortality of physical life on earth. For me, it is clearly a dead end. It can only lead to a complete annihilation of every human value.

The problem is likely cost effectiveness compared to just replacing a whole group of cells, compared to one single cell.
The unit economics of getting the remaining life from single used laptop battery are not very good. There's certainly lots of potential value for someone willing to do the work, if they can afford the opportunity cost, or if a business can source extremely dirt cheap cells and cheap high skilled labor.

>That’s grounds for termination to me. Seriously. I would put this man out of a job and endanger the livelihood of him and his family for this kind of shit.

Agreeing with you as a former instructor (who left academia for greener fields after completing the PhD).

I've had people cry on me in office hours because they come out with — quite literally — PTSD from instructors like the one we're discussing.

It's nothing short of psychological abuse of children, and it leaves lifelong damage.

It's worse than no instruction at all. I've had to have college kids unlearn things before I could teach them.

We've got to draw a line somewhere. I draw the line at actively traumatizing children.

That person should not be allowed to teach, period. We'd do both their students as well as themselves a huge favor by removing them from teaching.

By all indications, they'd be a happier person doing something else, where they wouldn't be driven "mad" by seeing that they've done a good job — which, for a teacher, means their students being proficient in the subject they teach.

-----

TL;DR: this teacher was driven "mad" by seeing that he's done a good job, and one of his students was really good in the subject.

Spare them from this pain.
That's an incredibly narrow slice of properties of ducks, nematodes (and humans).

Is there truly so little that makes up the soul of a duck? No mention of laying eggs? Caring for it's young? Viciously chasing children across the lawn of the local park? (I know that's usually the prevue of Geese, however I have seen ducks launch the occasional offensive against too curious little ones)
I think an even simpler argument can be made: our brain develops in response to the physical stimulus we experience from birth (earlier even).

Basically, even if it's a simple computation engine, can we put that simulation through the stimulus our brain experiences (not easily) and will lack of that turn into entirely differently behaving system?
What’s the point of buying the 1B worth of AMD shares in your strategy ? (I get the other half)
Yeah, there is no point in tree shaking and bundling for server code so your comment makes little sense.
I find this hard to believe, can you provide the links to at least 2 reputable publications that corroborate your claims ?
You can simulate behaviour with a lookup table, but that's not the same as understanding.
I've heard of that variant but I think it is very seldom played. I don't know if it has a name.
Will do. I also like the click to place more than dragging & dropping.
It was indeed all about the roundabouts. I forget the details but I do know it took us quite a while to get there(!)

Those tutorials filled me with dread at the time, but with hindsight they were - how can I put this - a fairly formative experience.

Watching your tutor use paper and pencil - and estimation - to calculate something like that was actually quite inspiring. That was, once it stopped being terrifying.
They specifically mention "the P team at AWS". The two following things are perfectly able to be simultaneously true:

* The average Amazon engineer is not expected to have awareness of CS fundamentals that go beyond LeetCode-y challenges

* The average Amazon engineer builds using tools which are each developed by a small core team who _are_ expected to know those fundamentals, and who package up those concepts to be usefully usable without full understanding

(I did 10 years on CDO, and my experience matches yours when interacting with my peers, but every time I interacted with the actual Builder Tools teams I was very aware that lived in different worlds)
Impatience for the Win
Netflix doesn't make "stories" or "films" or "art" or anything that impressive.

They make "content", and the distinction is super important.
Probably, but EV batteries are large enough that there might be an industrial recycling process for them, while old laptop batteries are basically free because it's too much labor to extract useful value from them.
