> I don’t want something gathering all my thoughts historically together and tying it to something else; nothing good comes from that; I’m not writing a serial novel.

Yeah but you should want your thoughts on a single post to tie together.

> Many years ago I had a user with thousands of karma points. I used to get really annoyed with other users downvoting my valid and thoughtful comments because it affected my karma. Despite attempts to rally the community around getting rid of downvoting, that never happened.

Sorry you had that reaction. While I get annoyed by downvotes sometimes, I've never cared about losing some points from the mostly useless pile.

And honestly--designing a generator for a system like this is hard. Really hard. I struggled for weeks to get something that didn't just fail 99% of requests trivially, and it's an (ahem) giant pile of probabilistic hacks. So I wouldn't be too hard on the various TB test generators here!

> Wayland has a design such that if things don't work for you today we have a hope that we can make it work for you in the future.

The reason we hate Wayland so much is that X is being killed off now, with things only ever maybe working again in the future. Wayland would be way better if the people behind it added support for all of the missing features and use cases first, and only then killed off X.

This might come as a surprise to you, but the more volume you trade, the higher commission you pay (in percentage terms) on sports betting exchanges.

BetFair calls it the Expert Fee :))

If you make more than $100k profit, you pay 40% extra Expert Tax on it :)

There are some (small) genetic populations whose genetics diverged so much, from geographic separation, that they have fertility problems [1].

What's left? Seems like something left over from the old science perspective that "humans are not animals", more than anything.

> in effect, the statement you quoted is false, and OpenAI is actually in breach of their privacy policies

The statement is from OpenAI’s own press release. I still wouldn’t argue that their lies somehow make the court order unreasonable.

> OpenAI is now unusable for serious business use in Europe

This is entirely in OpenAI’s control. They could convert everyone in the EU to ZDR. They choose not to, and that’s their right. (As it is the right of the EU to deem that noncompliance.)

I think GP's point is that the filesystems used by someone self-hosting gitlab may not be the same as what gitlab themselves are using.

File systems can be weird. Sometimes the OS can be weird and fsync type calls may not do what you expect. At least at one point MacOS fsync didn't behave the same way as Linux (i.e. Linux should ensure the write is truly done and not just in cache so long as the drive isn't lying). [0]

> There are system requirements that a customer would be expected to adhere to if they wanted a valid enterprise support contract with one of these vendors.

Gitlab has a community edition. Not handling data well would be bad for their public image.

If this (or, more accurately, a drug developed downstream of this technology) worked, they absolutely would.

A great example of this in relatively recent history is the treatment of hepatitis C. The treatments pre-circa-2011 were pretty crappy: interferon/ribavirin had poor cure rates and bad side effects. But it was still better than hepatitis destroying your liver, so people dealt with it.

Then, in 2011, as the culmination of years of trials, telaprevir (from Vertex/J&J) [1] and boceprevir (Schering-Plough/Merck) [2] were approved and were DRAMATICALLY BETTER than interferon/ribavirin.

...and then just two years later both of these drugs got nuked by the approval of sofosbuvir (aka Sovaldi, from Pharmasset/Gilead) [3], which has _cure_ rates in excess of 90%. Telaprevir and boceprevir were pulled from the market because there was simply no more market for them once sofosbuvir hit. Scientific competition at its finest.

There is absolutely a dark side to pharmaceutical pricing and licensing, but please don't let the existence of that dark side cloud your vision of the transformative impact that those of us in biotech R&D want to have (and in many cases, have had). I was at Vertex when the early trial data on telaprevir started coming out and it became clear that we might be able to offer patients real hope who did not have it before.

This is a sad devolution and this ghost account negs me for my considerations.

Truth is a purturbation of existential reality.

Thoughts feelings and beliefs are shit.

It may be good shit. It may be sublime shit. If it does not exist existentially it has no business being confused with Truth, it is exotic shit.

I love my share of exotic shit.

You don’t have to agree with me about consciousness What I say about Truth is self axiomatic and only refuted my a moron.

A moron. An idiot. Someone stupid.

These are objectively and imperically defined as one who confuses bullshit (shit) for Truth.

Truth is a purturbation of existential reality. A “truth” in the human mind is a “meta” (symbolic), justifiable only by its unembellished consistency (not contradictory) to Truth.

And Truth is a purturbation of existential reality. A purturbation of existential being.

I have to say “Truth and Law is worth murdering another Man over. Bullshit, never.”

You linked this article:

https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/22/openai-accidentally-delete...

Gruez said that is talking about an incident in this case but unrelated to the judge's order in question.

You said the article "explains for those following this conversation why it’s been elevated to a court order" but it doesn't actually explain that. It is talking about separate data being deleted in a different context. It is not user chats and access logs. It is the data that was used to train the models.

I pointed that out a second time since it seemed to be misunderstood.

Then you posted an LLM summary of something unrelated to the point being made.

Now we're here.

As you say, one cannot force understanding on another; we all have to do our part. ;)

Edit:

> The court order to retain all user data is a direct response to concerns that important evidence could be lost—just as it was in the accidental deletion incident[2][6][7].

What did you prompt the LLM with for it to reach this conclusion? The [2][6][7] citations similarly don't seem to explain how that incident from months ago informed the judge's recent decision. Anyway, I'm not saying the conclusion is wrong, I'm saying the article you linked does not support the conclusion.

Over the last few years watching sports (in the USA at least) has been unbearable. Every other ad is for gambling apps. Broadcasters show live betting odds on TV alongside the game. Announcers and analysts are constantly talking about their favorite parlays. All athletes have endorsement deals with bookmakers and encourage young fans to participate. Sports leagues themselves have close partnerships with the largest gambling companies.

And who ensures everything is happening above board and there is no fixing? Don't worry, self regulation works.

You can't really name a list of features that cursor has that copilot doesn't. It's more like: Cursor appears to heavily dogfood their features, VSCode's copilot seems to check the feature boxes, but each one sucks to use. The autocomplete popups are jarring. The copilot agent doesn't seem to gather the correct context. They still haven't figured out tool calling. It's really something you have to try rather than look at a checklist of features.

I thought the same thing, and that's typically how pari-mutuel betting works (horsetracks, Jai-Alai, etc).

But if some whale comes in and wants to drop a large bet, I suppose the house doesn't want to sit around and wait for the same amount of action on the other side before they take the bet or the game starts. And now they're exposed if the whale wins.

Yikes, you sound jaded. I’m not going to pretend Obama was a saint but he cared about his country and the people as he worked to give people rights. And my entire praise is for the comparison of where we are today. Now we have people actively trying to take rights away for no reason other than some rotted pride. Just my opinion in my 36 years.

The only POTUS who wasn’t a “wolf in sheep's clothing” was George Washington.

I don't see this discussion progressing either, because you haven't added anything to it, and it's harder and harder to assume you are acting in good faith.

You haven't actually made any specific arguments. Nor refuted any specific arguments I've made. You've just repeated, over and over, everything what I say is nonsense and I must be repeating things I've heard. I'd agree that sort of repetition tends to stall out discourse.

I do hope you end up with (or have already) a smartphone that is secure to your satisfaction, on the hardware that is most convenient to you, whoever ends up doing the work to make that possible. Have a good day also, and best of luck in the search for such a solution.

I had a somewhat similar experience when writing a "remove duplicates" extension for Thunderbird:

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/remov...

I used a hash to begin with, using a simplistic digest function to the message headers I was comparing, getting me a 4-byte hash key.

That worked, but was kind of slow.

Finally, the idea came to me to not apply _any_ digesting, and use the combined concatenated headers of the messages as hash keys. About 2k bytes per hash key!

The result: About 20x perf improvement if memory serves.

How is that possible? The reason is that the code all runs in a Javascript machine; and applying the digest was not a built-in function, it was looping over the headers and doing the arithmetic. Thousands upon thousands of JS abstract machine steps. The use of the large hash key may be inefficient, but - it's just one JS object / dictionary operation, and one of the most heavily-optimized in any implementation.

“Post” is indicative for a person paying attention. For a random non tech person trying to share thing it’s just one more button to press to get the link. Note it’s very hard to share the chat while not making it public - you will need to explicitly mark it private after you posted it. I bet you for absolutely majority of users posts being public and discoverable pretty much unintended consequence of them trying to share it to someone.

As for google I assume it’s true if you post your chat somewhere (I.e Reddit). For most of shares these chats never end up being on the internet (I.e stay in private chats in messengers). So it is different again.

Overall it is pretty much predator behavior exploiting people’s need to share their chats to get them doing something unintended and good for Meta. This being said whole idea of an app with chats as posts is quite lame, so not sure if it will stick.

Northern or Southern? What about your ancestry prior to the existence of Italy?

And what does that mean, anyway? That some people in your family were born inside some arbitrary lines drawn on the ground? Who cares?

This sort of classification is meaningless.

(I, too, have Italian ancestry, but that's a small part of the overall picture, and has little to do with anything "real" about me, like my health or looks.)

Don't forget that they'll change their API every so often, so you'll spend days and weeks to adapt to "v2" before "v1" is deprecated and eventually removed. You will usually get nothing in terms of desirable features for doing that work, quite often you will get new bugs instead that weren't present with the old API, or even worse, features you depend on are removed because "almost nobody really used them" or "they aren't a good fit in the new interface anymore", and of course you won't have the choice of simply keep using the old version of the thing for an arbitrary amount of time to perform that update on your own pace.

I'm not sure about most of this. The great majority of the articles and stories about this I've read trace back to layman speculation and disaster porn fiction written by people who have never claimed to actually be informed about how these things work. There's damn little stuff out there that traces back to actual experiments with real hardware. Probably most of the serious experiments are by various militaries and are highly classified. I've seen some more believable stuff suggesting that most consumer electronics and automobiles are not vulnerable at all to the much-fictionalized high-altitude nuclear EMP.

Either way, the author of this article does not cite any sources or relevant experience, and he doesn't include any biographical information about himself to judge how qualified he is to speak on such subjects. There's not much reason I see to take this any more seriously than any piece of fictional disaster porn you could buy on Amazon.

I don't know the truth for sure myself, but hopefully we all know better than to believe everything we read, especially about subjects like this where there appears to be very little hard science published.

I was rather hoping Amazon would spend and contribute more. But it seems they basically only want to pay for the minimum FreeBSD support.

Amazon isn't even on FreeBSD sponsors [1]. And Google only sponsored $9K last year. Apple isn't there. Edit: And Credit to Microsoft being at least on the list! And forgot to mention Meta / Facebook missing from it as well.

I would have expect them to sponsor FreeBSD and OpenBSD annually by default given they use and continue to benefits the work out of both.

I graduated in 1993 and going back through my old Quickbooks file, my 1993 IRA contribution went to a broad-based fund at Twentieth Century (now American Century). It was a half-year of working and all I could scrape together was $2000 and they accepted it to invest. I suspect making a mutual fund investment for $5000 (over $10,000 today) would have been possible three years prior.

Consider a supermarket. They will have aisles full of candy, sugared cereal, biscuits, chips and soda in the front. The lowest quality slop you can put in your mouth. They will also have huge freezers with low quality ready to eat meals.

But in the back they have the highest quality and variety of meat and poultry you can find anywhere, the highest quality and variety of vegetables and dairy. That's why I go to the super market. I don't care about the slop in front because I'm not looking for it. I don't care that most shoppers have their cart full of toxic ultra processed junk, because I'm just looking for the stuff for me.

It's exactly the same with YouTube, except that you never have to see the low quality stuff which doesn't interest you. If you only like good videos and subscribe to good channels, the algorithm will quickly start to only recommend high quality content. If it slips, there's a dislike button.

You just have to make a minimal effort. The algorithm actually works very well. There's a lot of content which was never available anywhere before YouTube. And yes, the ability to get paid is necessary for many creators to make their videos, which they deserve. If you're making videos that help and entertain a large public, why shouldn't you get paid for the effort and talent?

> Then why do biologists distinguish subspecies of other animals?

They do, when there are things that seem to be subspecies, they don't do it just because there is an arbitrary requirement for every species to have subspecies. There's been dispute about whether various archaic human groups were separate species or subspecies, and if what we now call modern humans weren't the only ones still around, that might be a more acute debate and might be resolved in favor of subspecies, but the others aren't still around, so...

I ended up in the same situation with this 4-7-8 Breathing. Actually with this one the problem for me is that there is no interval between cycles. After first cycle the next inhale starts immediately, and from the visualization you don't know exactly when the first cycle is going to end unless you keep the count yourself. I think after exhale there should be a gap of maybe 1 to catch up. INHALE-HOLD-EXHALE-CATCHTUP - inhaling for 4 counts, holding for 7, exhaling for 8, and catch up 1.

That article doesn't say anything about small populations. The word 'subpopulation' appears in the abstract, but it's talking about subpopulations of sperm in ejaculate.

I have to say, this is a super weird paper to suddenly pull out of nowhere in order to make an argument against the modern biological consensus that there are no subspecies of humans. It says nothing about species or subspecies, or even different populations of humans. Did you just Google some keywords and go with the first result? I'm genuinely puzzled.

have you compared Windsurf (previously codeium, had to look it up) to Github Copilot agent or ChatGPT? I'm mostly still using ChatGPT's App integration. It can see my currently open files in webstorm and can directly suggest and apply changes from the app. And I find the suggestions better then JetBrain's AI integrations. But curious about Windsurf / CoPilot Agent

I can't reply to the other reply for some reason, but what they said is indeed what I meant. gitlab.com might be running their Gitaly servers on btrfs or zfs or lvm volumes or whatever, but other customers may be using ext2. Gitlab the company could require customers to only run Gitaly on a specific filesystem, but up to now, they never have, it would be pretty shitty to suddenly change their minds after a decade plus of establishing one expectation, and whoever the developer is who submitted the patch to upstream Git and got a technical blog post out of it has absolutely no power to dictate contract terms to enterprise customers personally and instead did what is actually in their power to do.

Nice app! Wish there was a small interval between the cycles for catchup.

The most outlandish thing I can remember was about chewing hard gum to fix your teeth, which seems kind of crazy but could be true. I don't remember breathing being posited as a cure to everything, and I also remember plenty of discussion of various studies. It seems quite believable to me that improper breathing causes all sorts of problems. It's possible I'm too credulous, or that you're too incredulous. Who's to say.

Wow, first of all, this is commendable work. I'm extraordinarily impressed by the commitment to minimize dependencies. Of the four dependencies, only one appears to not be owned by the author, and only one has any additional non-dev dependencies. Barring any other thoughts, that's pretty impressive.

To summarize my reservations, this lacks custom post types, meta fields or modules, and a full deployment story.

Although I can picture it, I think the author would get a lot more traction if they demonstrated how users might serve the generated content. It also feels odd to have to do so manually. Realistically this requires some kind of CI script, or, if attempting to expose to content editors, a dual reverse-proxy configuration.

I'm also not thrilled with the handlebars-esque DSL. Any templating solution without a general programming escape hatch is problematic in my eyes these days.

Users & Developers alike want a content management dashboard that bends to their sense of organization and needs. Many modern websites have more than one menu, for example. Custom post types are necessary for ease of use and quick content discovery. Modules exist to empower editors to insert beautiful, pre-designed content of their own making. Meta fields exist to signal to editors what kind of content is necessary to make a page viable (required fields). These types of features are becoming table stakes for modern content management systems, and they're very difficult to pull off in a meta-programming sense without the dynamism of a database.

All of that being said, I hope the author really does continue working on this. It's really great and exciting work!

Allegedly Allscripts (now Veradigm) made their flagship products interoperable, the idea being that customers could choose to buy a giant ecosystem from them, or they could bolt on small solutions onto the giant monoliths that were their competition (like EPIC) and presumably get some revenue they weren't going to get otherwise.

Now - I never was tasked with actually using their software while I worked there, that was just the talking point in the town halls and all hands and such. Being able to export/import was part of that interoperability goal.

I think the goal is to create bipartisan support for wholesale elimination of various parts of the federal government.

If my choice is between having the taxes I’ve paid weaponized against me or eliminating that agency and a reduction in my tax rate, at some point I’m going to choose the latter and push to have that function replicated at the state level.

You can definitely pass out but that's why you don't do it standing up or driving. And of course if you're doing ice baths there are plenty of ways to screw that up.

But overall if you're laying down doing wim hof breathing, I'd say no.

And of course individuals might have circumstances or conditions that do make it dangerous. They always tell you not to do it if you're pregnant, for example.
