Unless you’re moving across partitions it will change the filesystem metadata to move the path, but not actually do anything to the data. Sorry, you failed, it’s jail for you.

Right. Where’s the punishment for Meta who admitted to pirating books?

I had no idea this was a thing. Thank you!

It’s the canonical choice

That’s very cool, but does anyone else think the title image is AI generated? Neither image nor caption seem to sit right, nor fit together.

Is the ‘caption’ actually (derived from) a prompt?

Meanwhile women are hand-coding in assembly, like God intended.

Oh yes please. But not JavaScript. I use Rust frameworks to avoid all three!

I can’t see from this article whether “could cost” means there are lawsuits ongoing/pending, or just the author has speculated what the fine could be if there were a lawsuit?

Alt text: In the 60s, Marvin Minsky assigned a couple of undergrads to spend the summer programming a computer to use a camera to identify objects in a scene. He figured they’d have the problem solved by the end of the summer. Half a century later, we’re still working on it.

Edit: seems I’m the third person to comment this! :')

It’s tricky. Part of the problem, I think, is if you do have corruption and carelessness in something like the FDA, there’s no amount of careful reporting that can fix it - it becomes propaganda.

It’s necessary to address the problems, though I still agree with being careful about what information is broadcast and how - but it’s necessary to keep information open and challenge things otherwise you end up worse down the line. A measles epidemic is bad. But imagine if you suppressed thalidomide results and other failures, allowing things to get worse and worse in the name of not damaging people’s trust, then eventually (after years of covered-up harm) it all comes out and people abandon scientific medicine altogether!

You don’t have to imagine… I’m sure a large component of both vaccine skepticism and Trump’s presidency have come because of suppressed and partially-suppressed wrongdoing by all the people we think the country should trust. Eventually people break and look for something else.

So, I agree with you, but in my opinion we do need to work more, not less, at transparency and truth even when it’s problematic.
