I was just thinking about this. There was a big push in my city to stop “over policing” things like jaywalking and disorderly conduct. We stopped ticketing people for this and over a few years people have started jaywalking and even just ch

That's the first time I've heard this challenge described as 'digital inclusion' but that is exactly what it is. We are pretty clearly in a world where people who understand computers are a new scribe class who have moun

I think that the "hacker spirit" is most embodied over at handmade network. They're less dogmatic about software freedom, but because of the "get your hands dirty" attitude I find they tend to use open source tools

That is possible, but directly challenges the states monopoly on violence in an organized way AND means we have to admit that society has become a cyberpunk dystopia that is way less cool than any of the fiction I read.

If this isn’t in app I don’t see how it has any way to get traction.

I mean I have moderately high certainty that I'm escaping casual surveillance. It's not perfect but it doesn't need to be perfect to be good enough.

The big thing for me and many others is the ability to use the tool without sending NDA data to a 3rd party. The potential amplifying power of that is enormous.

Generally the response is to drop a few hundred on a lawyer to write them a stern letter about bad faith and failure to execute the contract. Your specific legal remedies vary so much country to country that it's hard to generalize, bu

I have long suspected that it will be necessary to deliberately create a new type of model that is aware of the trivium and then uses logic, grammar and rhetoric to begin to create a closer model of reality than a LLM can.

Start with those where the environmental impact is best known and understood. Impose escalating tariffs on those items from any nation not meeting those goals. We will buy less or they’ll be made more cleanly. Worst case making them in coun

My question in the face of these kinds of actions is what can a non-technical person do in the face of having access to their “purchases” taken away? My younger brother deals with autism and is worried that he won’t be able to play his game

I’m not terribly worried. Though I assume my work will begin to resemble that of the Adeptus Mechanicus rather than proper engineering. The fact is that anyone who understands even at a basic level what the computer is actually doing and is

Because our industry and modern society in general dare not slow down long enough to let good work be done, or trust a craftsperson when they say, "This isn't done yet"
