I'm not going to reply to everything because this conversation is not going anywhere and this will be my final post. There is no point in continuing when you have clearly taken so much out of context.

First, what is this Latin barrier? The New Testament was written in Greek and continued to be available in Greek. I assume you think that the Catholic church was the sole church back then. It wasn't. The Oriental Orthodox, Church of the East, and the Eastern Orthodox churches all existed. They all agree with what I am saying. They had scrupture in a variety of languages not just Latin.

This was a universal view.

Your are misreading the letter from Ignatius. He did not say they were married he said "and the rest of the apostles, that were married men." That were married would mean not all were in fact married.

Not mandating celibacy is not the same as mandating men were married. How are you making an argument like this? The Bible says what it says, but the Bible also makes it clear you shouldn't interpret the Bible on your own (Acts 8). This is what you and Protestants did to come to this conclusion.

Unless you are willing to submit to what all the Churches that have actual claims of succession from the Apostles, there is no point in continuing. If you are a Christian you aren't following Acts 8. If you aren't a Christian then you are just pushing your secular views onto Bible to push your own narrative.

I was going off the fact the article linked to an archive page of the New York Public Library, so I assumed they had some connection to New York and decided to make a pun when naming their kid.

Its more common than you'd think. I used to know a guy whose middle name is "Brusch" and last name is "Rohde"..."Bush Roadie".

Likely a combination of isolation (small families, no outside time) combined with tech designed to over stimulate.

To me ADHD is an adaptation to an overflowing amount of stimulation and information.

The brain skips around very quickly until it finds something very valuable and then mines the hell out of it (hyper focus)

i would be very curious to find out the rate of ADHD in the Amish. Theyre an American population but without technology. Seems like a fascinating study.

The US overpays for a lot of its defence equipment. Given that recently a $125 million French aircraft was downed by a $50 million Chinese aircraft at least 3 times, it remains to be seen how cost effective the US military arsenal actually is in a prolonged fight against its main adversary.

As for Europe, USA's main adversaries are not really our problem - in fact, one of America's newfound allies is a problem for Europe.

So why exactly should Europe follow America's laws? Because world police or some thing?

I haven't dug too deeply into MCP yet so I may very well be wrong here, but it feels like get another attempt to paper over the fact that we abandoned REST APIs nearly 20 years ago.

XML is ugly and building APIs that describe both the data and available actions is tough.

Instead we picked JSON RPCs that we still call REST, and we inevitably run into situations like Alexa or LLMs where we want a machine to understand what actions are supported in an API and what the data schema is.

> The remedy order should also prevent Google from entering into exclusive agreements to access AI training data…

Google, for example, bought exclusive access to Reddit's data. No one else can train on Reddit unless you have more money than Google (you don't). So one of the asks is that that sort of exclusive deal be prevented. If everyone is allowed to buy Reddit's data, and Google makes the best model, that wouldn't be a problem.

This is my first encounter with OSGi. It seems to me that the "Lego hypothesis" reflects an increasing justified approach. The ACM Queue article mentions hot plugging and dependency injection, and a comment[0] in this thread brings up Sans IO. This also ties into capabilities, as a security measure but also an approach to modularity. The common thread is that programs should be written with a strong sense of boundaries: both what is included and what is not included is vital, and the boundary must allow the inside to communicate with the outside. Push dependencies to the boundary and create interfaces from them. The general principles for trivially pluggable components are all out there now. More efforts like OSGi will be needed to principles into practice.

If you're not willing to engage with what they have to say charitably, maybe you should just leave it. Their comment is plainly relevant to yours, and "shutting down conversation" is not at all a good faith interpretation. It is a huge weakness in your argument that you say people should leave jobs that aren't stimulating to them, when we live in a world where people have to work to survive and frequently cannot make decisions on that basis.

Imagine for a moment you are talking to someone who works a minimum wage job at McDonald's to provide for their children. How do you imagine they would respond to your suggestion they abandon their responsibility to their children to find a more mentally stimulating job? How would that be anything but patently absurd?

> Coincidentally, on Friday I pulled my dusty 1987 copies of Sterling & Shapiro and Bratko off the bookshelf for the first time in literally decades, and built myself a copy of SWI so that I could have a tinker with it for something where I think it may be a good fit.

If you care for recommendations to complement those two, O'Keefe's The craft of Prolog is my favorite Prolog book.

A country as large and prosperous as the United States should have more than 4 providers. We should have more than 3 cellular companies. We should have more than 8 major ISPs.

These are monopolies. You might not see it because the economy is so _over monopolized_ it's hard to have perspective.

YCombinator loves to pretend it invented the idea of startups and entreprenourism but those have been vigorous and healthy throughout _most_ of America's existence. When they weren't we wrote some of the most comprehensive and consumer friendly anti-trust laws in the entire world. A feat which still stands today.

yes, they tried with the 'Compute Continuum' .. but this never panned out. They spent loads of bandwidth and money trying to bring this reality into being, but it failed miserably. They assumed every user would have a smart-TV, smart-phone, tablet, and desktop .. all running their hardware/software. Turns out, no - they won't. They didn't "see" that the phone would dominate the non-business segment as it has.

Isn't the reference and context backwards here?

As in, the "you should read Popper" comment was in response to somebody saying they though opting out of moderation/censorship was not good. I think Popper would broadly agree with this, and say that moderating out racism, transphobia etc is essential for good discourse.

This is all unfounded obviously, since Popper didn't ever use or write about social media.

Only issue I have is with the indentation-based subitems.

> ...updating the order of arguments to a function [...] was only in about 10 spots, so it would have only taken a minute to search and fix manually, but instead I spent an hour automating the fix using sed and xargs. And I think that was the right choice.

Spending an hour to learn and use sed/xargs is good use of time. Bringing in the xkcd formula has nothing to do with that. It could/should have been done as a one-off whether manually or scripted. Automation doesn't make sense unless you plan to keep putting me function arguments in an undesired order.

I would have put in time sooner to use a static typed language the can reliably reactor in the IDE with a click.

The flip side of this is that for some tasks (especially in ml/ai), doing it manually at least a few times gives you a sense of what is correct and a better sense of detail.

For example, spending the time to label a few examples yourself instead of just blindly sending it out to labeling.

(Not always the case, but another thing to keep in mind besides total time saved and value of learning)

I was working as a contractor in this period and remember meeting a thermometer company. They had made the extremely questionable decision to build it with Intel Edison, which used an even lower performance product line called Quark. The Edison chips baffled me. Worse performance than many ARM SoCs at the time, far worse efficiency, and they cost so much. That thermometer had a BOM cost of over $40 and barely enough battery life for its intended purpose.

This actually isn't that surprising.

There are psychological blindspots that we all have as human beings, and when stimulus is structured in specific ways people lose their grip on reality, or rather more accurately, people have their grip on objective reality ripped away from them without them realizing it because these things operate on us subliminally (to a lesser or greater degree depending on the individual), and it mostly happens pre-perception with the victim none the wiser. They then effectively become slaves to the loudest monster, which is the AI speaking in their ear more than anyone else, and by extension to the slave master who programmed the AI.

One such blindspot is the consistency blindspot where someone may induce you to say something indicating agreement with something similar first, and then ask the question they really want to ask. Once you say something that's in agreement, and by extension something similar is asked, there is bleedover and you fight your own psychology later if you didn't have defenses to short circuit this fixed action pattern (i.e. and already know), and that's just a surface level blindspot that car salesman use all the time; there are much more subtle ones like distorted reflected appraisal which are used by cults, and nation states for thought reform.

To remain internally consistent, with distorted reflected appraisal, your psychology warps itself, and you as a person unravel. These things have been used in torture, but almost no one today is taught what the elements of torture are so they can recognize it, or know how it works. You would be surprised to find that these things are everywhere today, even in K12 education and that's not an accident.

Everyone has reflected appraisal because this is how we adopt the cultural identity we have as people from our parents while we are children.

All that's needed for torture to break someone down are the elements, structuring, and clustering.

Those elements are isolation, cognitive dissonance, coercion with perceived or real loss, and lack of agency to remove with these you break in a series of steps rational thought receding, involuntary hypnosis, and then psychological break (disassociation or a special semi-lucid psychosis capable of planning); with time and exposure.

Structuring uses diabolical structures to turn the psyche back on itself in a trauma loop, and clustering includes any multiples of these elements or structures within a short time period, as well as events that increase susceptibility such as narco-analysis/synthesis based in dopamine spikes triggered by associative priming (operant conditioning). Drug use makes one more susceptible as they found in the early 30s with barbituates, and its since been improved so you can induce this is in almost anyone with a phone.

No AI will ever be able to create and maintain a consistent reflected appraisal for the people they are interacting with, but because the harmful effects aren't seen immediately, people today have blinded themselves and discount the harms that naturally result. The harms from the unnatural loss of objective reality.

Lots of good replies to your comment already. I'd also offer up Cloudflare offering the option to crawl customer origins, with them shipping the compressed archives off to Common Crawl for storage. This gives site admins and owners control over the crawling, and reduces unnecessary load as someone like Cloudflare can manage the crawler worker queue and network shipping internally.

(Cloudflare customer, no other affiliation)

"I think the underlying problem is that Prolog is part of a mandatory curriculum, but the professor doesn’t understand it. How do you teach something you don’t understand?"

Or the underlying problem is prolog itself. If students are constantly learning it for a class and never wanting to touch it again, maybe it's time to face facts. Some people get caught up in the pageantry of programming and forget to spend their mental energy building the software instead of doing clever stuff with a programming language.

::ffff:0:0/96 is for representing v4 addresses in v6 APIs. You shouldn't even see it on the wire at all, but if you do it's just a regular v6 bogon range and not anything to do with v4, so it doesn't get or need any special handling in firewalls or routers.

Maybe you should look at Epicureanism. If you only had a glance at it and reduced it to "YOLO!", then take a closer look, as it is not about ignoring the consequences of your actions, in fact, it is the opposite of that. But the one thing Epicureans don't want to consider is death.

Death is just an insignificant transition between existence and non-existence, and what happens after you cease to exist is irrelevant to you because, well, there is no "you" there. The deathbed at least represents some period of time, but do you really want to live your life for a short moment you won't remember?

It doesn't mean you shouldn't think about future generations, and be a good person in general. Just don't do it for the deathbed, do it for the present, doing good feels good.

If you look at the actual raw output of tools/list call you may find it surprisingly similar to the OpenAPI spec for the same interface. In fact they are trivially convertible to each other.

Personally I find OpenAPI spec being more practical since it includes not just endpoints with params, but also outputs and authentication.

Know all that from my own experience plugging dozens of APIs to both MCP/Claude and ChatGPT.

>What is more likely to be vulnerable,

At the end of the day you are at much higher risks of one of those 10 packages getting owned by some external party and suddenly the next version is pulling a bitcoin miner, or something that steals everything it can from your CI/CD, or does a take over on your customers.

And it's never 10 (well at least for JS), it's hundreds, or if you're team is insane, thousands.

Juergen Schmidhuber and his students came up with much of the basic NN elements, such as RNN, LSTM and others without behemoth resources (and several years earlier). Ttbomk, the one thing they DIDN’T come up with was the transformer; however it is very likely someone would have within a 5-10 year time frame.

You must understand that when you deal with AI people, you deal with children. Imagine the author of the spec you're trying to implement is a new grad in San Francisco (Mission, not Mission Street, thanks).

He feels infallible because he's smart enough to get into a hot AI startup and hasn't ever failed. He's read TCP 973 and 822 and 2126 and admitted the vibe or rigor but can't tell you why we have SYN and Message-ID or what the world might have been had alternatives one.

He has strong opinions about package managers for the world's most important programming languages. (Both of them.) But he doesn't understand that implementation is incidental. He's the sort of person to stick "built in MyFavoriteFramework" above the food on his B2B SaaS burrito site. He doesn't appreciate that he's not the customer and customers don't give a fuck. Maybe he doesn't care, because he's never had to turn a real profit in his life.

This is the sort of person building perhaps the most important human infrastructure since the power grid and the Internet itself. You can't argue with them in the way the author of the MCP evaluation article does. They don't comprehend. They CANNOT comprehend. Their brains do not have a theory of mind sufficient for writing a spec robust to implementation by other minds.

That's why they ship SDKs. It's the only thing they can. Their specs might as well be "Servers SHOULD do the right thing. They MUST have good vibes." Pathetic.

God help us.

>Itanium

IMO, Intel took us from common, affordable CPUs to high-priced, "Intel-only" CPUs. It was originally designed to use Rambus RAM, and it turned out Intel had a stake in that company. Intel got greedy and tried to force the market to go the way it wanted.

Honestly, AMD saved the x86 market for us common folks. Their approach of extending x86 to 64-bit and adopting DDR RAM allowed for the continuation of affordable, mainstream CPUs. This enabled companies to buy tons of servers for cheap.

Intel’s u-turn on x86-64 shows even they knew they couldn’t win.

AMD has saved Intel’s x86 platform more than once. The market wants a common, gradual upgrade path for the PC platform not a sudden, expensive, single-vendor ecosystem.

I'm an ophthalmologist. I look at irises all day. People's irises change over the course of their life. Sometimes dramatically if they have some kind of pathology. Are they updating their model periodically? What keeps someone from getting locked out of their crypto gains if they develop an iris nevus or have cataract surgery or start on flomax?

Google search is a monopoly not because of crawling. It's because of the all the data it knows about website stats and user behavior. Original Google idea of ranking based on links doesn't work because it's too easily gamed. You have to know what websites are good based on user preferences and that's where you need to have data. It's impossible to build anything similar to Google without access to large amounts of user data.

This is debatable and probably a US centric POV, I think you could argue that much of the world is better at public / private partnerships and so no, their position is not due to capitalism, even if their continued existence is.

I’m not an expert on the economic history, but you could probably argue that the last big public / private partnerships in the US were in the railroad days. Defense spending I would not count in this category either. Although it builds whole ecosystems it is too insular and incestuous compared to something like transportation, or deliberately nurturing any other budding industry in a cooperative rather than competitive fashion

These aren’t static systems.

Keep removing 1 cup of water and add 2/3 cups and eventually it goes to zero. For a port that very well may be sending people home early on an ‘empty’ port. Even if tomorrow brings in new ships for now it looks like a ghost town.

And then at one port on one day zero cargo ships showed up.

No, but if the claim is that the glass no longer has any boba it's irrelevant how much liquid you drink.

The specific claim was that the port no longer had any container ships on that specific day. And that claim was true.

Yes, there were other ships in the port. But that's irrelevant. A container ship is a specific kind of cargo ship used for international cargo shipments. In an article about international shipments, that distinctions matters.

Exactly! You have to find that path before it's too late. Each one of us have only 80 years at most.

> Work isn't the problem; it's doing bullshit work that's undervalued so that morons who don't work can eat.

Agree. Doing dishonest or unethical jobs is not real work and makes nobody happy.

> I suspect we all WANT to work. We just need to eat, too.

And within those two goals there is a great world of opportunities.

I'm can neither claim to be a photographer nor that https://www.dansmithphotography.com/ my website, but I appreciate the example! The specific photo for other's reference, based on the filename: https://payload.cargocollective.com/1/15/509333/14386490/L-o...

That said I'm not as impressed of the description. The structure has some wood but it's certainly not just wooden, there are distant mountains but not much in the way of rolling hills to speak of. The dress is flowing but the waist is not knotted - the more striking note might have been the sleeves.

For 4 GB of model I'm not going to ding it too badly though. The question on which quant was mainly around the tokens/second angle (q4 requires 1/4th the memory bandwidth as the full model would) rather than quality angle. As a note: a larger multimodal model gets all of these points accurately (e.g. "wooden and stone rustic structure"), they aren't just things I noted myself.

> It’s a crisis of faith, caused by a 10,000 year search for meaning that isn’t there.

The article and the book it reviews isn't really about what happened in roughly 9,750 of those years. It's about a narrow band of meaning and apologies that happened during the small slice of most recent time due the vast majority of people falling for Worthington's Law[1].

Coloring the vast majority of the time slice with this idiosyncratic problem seems like the kind of notion that would be covered in the book. It's also confusing-- from those 10,000 years there must still be dozens of mainstream, practical political ideologies and belief systems based on embracing "the positive aspects of our spirit." It seems like you're identify this subset as examples of the problem you're discussing, but also as a potential solution to the same problem. I don't get it.

I can only assume that you don’t work in financial technology if you believe that KYC is a solved problem.

Proving authenticity in an increasingly diasporic society is difficult.

We should seek to either reduce or embrace entropy in the design of our systems. You either want systems which prove there are no Sybil attacks, or you manufacture halls of mirrors.

This is a continuous battle, there’s no panacea here, even the eye scan has threat vectors.

Calling KYC a solved problem is ludicrous.
