>There are plenty of us that think that dramatically expanding the power of copyright would be a huge mistake that would primarily benefit larger companies and do little to protect or fund small artists.

The status quo also primarily benefits larger companies, and does little (exactly nothing, if we're being earnest) to protect or fund small artists.

It's reasonable to hold both opinions that: 1) artists aren't being compensated, even though their work is being used by these tools, and 2) massive expansion of copyright isn't the appropriate response to 1).

Boy, oh boy.

While I can't detail what I have seen back in 2004, if you have seen what I saw, you'd not do that comment. Even without breaking the encryption, you can collect a great deal of information.

This is why "mere metadata collection" opened the gates of hell (of a backlash) in the US.
Yeah, I'd agree that for that model (certainly not AGI) it's just an extension/refinement of next token prediction.

But when we get a big aggregated of all of these little rules and quirks and improvements and subsystems for triggering different behaviours and processes - isn't that all humans are?

I don't think it'll happen for a long ass time, but I'm not one of those individuals who, for some reason, desperately want to believe that humans are special, that we're some magical thing that's unexplainable or can't be recreated.

Unfortunately, I don't see these tariffs working out well for the US unless American consumers actively cooperate and actually stop buying Chinese goods.

The article mentions there's 30/40% profit on Chinese exports which means China could effectively absorb increases due to tariffs and lower prices and American consumers would continue to buy.

US consumers must stop buying goods from China in enough numbers for it to have a negative effect on the Chinese economy. Most of us in the West have gotten used to buying cheap goods from there and I reckon it'll be damn hard to kick the habit.

'Uniforms' can go both ways. Would a person who only owns white Oxford shirts and monochrome dress pants have to go out and buy a new wardrobe he would feel very uncomfortable in if he wanted to work there? People who wear 20 year old band t-shirts can be every bit as judgemental about looks as people who wear tailored Italian suits.

They're being replaced by ecologies useful to humans, here a variety of crops and the like. I'm unconvinced that the land should exist for some specific species of mice and birds, but not for us.

All I really hear is that some very small group of aesthetically-minded human apes are precious about one more variety of bird, against the interest of very many other human apes that need to eat.

If the new ecology were really extremely desolate, we might weigh up this a little differently, sure. But the article's entire analysis is that these new ecologies are genuinely "natural" in the sense of self-sustaining, and varied, and so on.

I think this might change in the future when men realize the social contract reward for it has been reduced to rubble.

>male behaviour completely changes (often for the worse) when a woman walks into the room

I observed this many times and disliked it to the point of acting the reverse (disinterested) which ironically resulted in the opposite outcome at least temporarily. I think it certainly applies to women too but is just less observable because its more passive instead of active. The standard of the average men is also a lot "lower" (actual average) compared to women's to get active.

I think society hasn’t figured out the incentives for elders currently. In private settings it’s fine, but in the work context I’ve seen few incentives for >50 year olds to support younger generations. To the contrary, many of these people fear losing their job just before retirement so choose risk-averse behavior. At the same time, unlike in the village, the juniors are not their relatives so that is also not incentivizing any positive behavior.

And yes there are of course very nice people who are the exception, but from what I’ve seen they are truly the exception. As Charlie Munger put it “Well, I think I’ve been in the top 5% of my age cohort all my life in understanding the power of incentives, and all my life I’ve underestimated it. And never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes my limit a little farther.”
> Norway does more goods trade with China and for more advanced / complex goods. Norway is funding USA’s direct geopolitical competitor.

Generally, if you want other countries to do what you want, then you aim for that rather than pushing them towards China, or worse, making China seem like the best trading partner in the world.

Browsers already have built-in mechanism to prevent flicker while switching pages, unless your page has issues such as flash of unstyled content or something similar.
The thing I think a lot of people don't want to acknowledge is that unlike so many issues with grey areas and middle ground, this one is binary: either criminals can have secure communication, or nobody can.

I don't want a world in which nobody can have secure communications, so I must accept that criminals will have it, and police will have to work a little harder to catch them.

It gets worse though. More sophisticated criminals will find ways to do it even if it's illegal, so a law mandating backdoors will hurt the general population and stupid criminals, but not the smart, dangerous ones.
The irony of my situation was that even using a Docker container would not help, because Docker does not emulate CPU instructions.
As somebody with autism, one thing I'd say from my experience (I don't know how many people will agree) is that interviewing has felt like a much more severe stress test of my soft skills than anything I've had to do while actually being employed. While employed, the vast majority of my social interactions are oriented around some technical task that I need to work on with other people, and conveying information effectively so as to bring about the completion of this task. This is precisely the kind of social interaction that I feel most competent in--I feel like I'm pretty good at it, actually! What I struggle with are social interactions that are more open-ended, that are more about emotional connections and getting people to like you, and I feel like interviewing is an interaction of the latter type.

In this respect interviewing is a bit like LeetCode. LeetCode problems and writing code to satisfy business requirements are both "coding" but they're quite different kinds of coding; someone being able to do the former is probably good evidence they can do the latter, but there are also plenty of people who can do the latter without being able to do the former. So it is, in my view, with interviewing vs. interacting with people on the job.

I believe some of these issues are caused by framework abstractions.

New developers learn the framework and never learn how HTTP and HTML work.

Experienced developers have to learn how to punch through the framework to get to these features we get automatically with statically hosted assets.
> "Like any new tool, especially a tool that got popular as quickly as htmx, there are differing schools of thought on how best to use it."

If so, it's not because for lack of a written down philosophical framework. See Hypermedia Systems by Carson et al.

> Humans have weird failure modes that are odds with their 'intelligence'. We just choose to call them funny names and laugh about it sometimes. These Machines have theirs. That's all there is to it.

Yes, that's all there is to it and it's not enough. I ain't paying for another defective organism that makes mistakes in entirely novel ways. At least with humans you know how to guide them back on course.

If that's the peak of "AI" evolution today, I am not impressed.
I have made many many web pages over the last 15 years of so that is for just a few months or days. What I do is archive it on way back machine, and if the page works on way back machine then that is my stamp of approval for the page. It can also tell you the page is self contained! It works pretty well with WebGL and event audio playlist. There is NO point of making web dev so complicated just because FANNG company are using the framework. It is designed for they corporate structure. Anyone else should NOT use FANNG based framework!

For long term web, I stay way from SPA with a long stick.
You said the Garcia situation as a big deal, and I said it was not because he was properly deported for being associated with MS13. The mistake by the administration was only with respect to where he was deported.

The immigration judge’s decision that he was deportable for being associated with MS13 isn’t up for debate at this point. But it’s highly relevant to show the deportation was proper.
Potentially, but I'd say we're more reacting.

I will feel and itch and subconsciously scratch it, especially if I'm concentrating on something. That's an subsystem independent of conscious thought.

I suppose it does make sense - that our early evolution consisted of a bunch of small, specific background processes that enables an individual's life to continue; a single celled organism doesn't have neurons but exactly these processes - chemical reactions that keep it "alive".

Then I imagine that some of these processes became complex enough that they needed to be represented by some form of logic, hence evolving neurons.

Subsequently, organisms comprised of many thousands or more of such neuronal subsystems developed higher order subsystems to be able to control/trigger those subsystems based on more advanced stimuli or combinations thereof.

And finally us. I imagine the next step, evolution found that consciousness/intelligence, an overall direction of the efforts of all of these subsystems (still not all consciously controlled) and therefore direction of an individual was much more effective; anticipation, planning and other behaviours of the highest order.

I wouldn't be surprised if, given enough time and the right conditions, that sustained evolution would result in any or most creatures on this planet evolving a conscious brain - I suppose we were just lucky.
> What's wrong with asking people to prove they're disabled

It's dehumanizing, it's lacking empathy, and it usually ends up having people trivialise the problem a person might suffer from.

As long as the disability doesn't prevent a person from executing their contractual obligations, gatekeeping a position behind "you need to be able to function in society" is an indecent request to people that have difficulties doing so.

And from personal experience, once you're in the second half of your life, looking for an autism diagnosis and then using that to fight the gauntlet of bureaucracy required to get a government approved "stigma certificate" is a chore that really eats into one's provision of spoons.

I for one would like my manager and my employer to understand when I tell them I have trouble in loud open spaces with many people and disruptions, and I would prefer to do my job at home in a comfortable environment.

How do you propose I demonstrate to you that being in an office severely impairs my ability to reason about problems and write code? Is heart rate enough? Are higher bugs per feature enough? Is being an asshole to people enough?
When I'm in similar positions, if I see the honesty and feel the connection, I change the tone a bit to take off my corporate/higher up hat and make friendly remarks like that.

When caught in vulnerable positions, some people are very open to sincere remarks, but the situation is fragile. Not wounding the person further is the key.

I always try to remind myself, that I don't need to cut with the sword of truth. I can (and shall) point with it, too.

The problem is that weakening encryption in public services only hurts law abiding citizens.

The criminals per definition don't care what they use, as long as it's unbreakable, so in the event that strong encryption is outlawed, they'll just switch to illegal encryption, or any other form of secret communication.

If you implement a backdoor in iMessage, criminals will stop using that, and switch to Signal (they probably already have long before this), or setup private message services, or anything in between.

Governments falsely claim that they've always had the right to pry in your private data, but while they've always had the option (provided proper paperwork from courts) to tap your phone and read your mail, they've never been able to simply dig through everything you ever wrote at any point in time. All the so called privileges they had were reactive, going forward in time after they had proven in a court that you should be the target for investigation. If they purposely weaken encryption, they will have unrestricted access to everything you've ever said or written.

Worst case, Weakening encryption for the average user only leads to "minority report" style arrests, where you can be arrested for "thoughtcrime" for something you're written and never published, but because it's no longer a secret, "anybody" can read and interpret on it.
I really hope this won't become the new craze. The examples triggers all my irritation triggers. I couldn't use a website like that.
A physically impaired person can be a good yoga instructor: they'll suggest alternatives, different/better cues, or provide more accessible classes such as yin or seated yoga.

Just because they are physically impaired now doesn't mean they were before, and an instructor won't necessarily move through the poses with the class since they can have 2-3 classes per day.
> Why in gods name ship bun.

I try to avoid that strong of a language (although believe me - when this was going about I was very, very angry indeed). I think the reason was exactly removing the "npm hell" for users and not requiring any dependencies for using Tailwind.

The irony of it being, of course, that for some situations Bun turned out _more_ of a problem than shipping npm modules would be.

I was also advised to "use Tailwind as an NPM module for now". Only - I couldn't because the only "pure-JS" variant I could find was some months old, and the current builds all work through that bun-based 100MB binary.

The idea was good. The execution by the maintainers - and this is my subjective opinion, again - is not. An experimental JS runtime supported by one person is not a good fit for this.

That's because you are assuming the DPRK's culture is like western culture. It isn't. They have secret police everywhere and if you say anything that isn't positive about the state, you will get disappeared and your whole family probably will too.

While I get the emotional appeal, I still don't understand the use-case for htmx. If you're making a completely static page, you just use HTML. If you're making a dynamic page, then you want to push as much logic to the client as possible because far more users are latency-limited than compute-limited (compare [1] vs [2]), so you use normal frontend technologies. Mixing htmx and traditional frontend tech seems like it'd result in extra unnecessary complexity. What's the target audience?

Edit: "Normal/traditional frontend" here means both vanilla (HTML+JS+CSS) and the most popular frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, Next).
