Thanks for the kind words!

Definitely adding an explicit radius control (right now it's set to 20 miles).

I don't have any personal social media so I'm a bit hesitant to make some for Roleplayful, but I'm definitely considering making a Twitter, Discord, etc.

Definitely working on inline expansion of the campaign card.

Great point on content moderation and letting users contribute, haven't thought too much about that yet.
It's actually much worse than 4:1. YouTube is often hiding upwards of 90% of the dislikes. Like another poster noted, you can see it on https://81m.org/ .

Everyone has been gearing up production before approvals with the assumption they'll get approved for expediency sake.

You get approved? Great - We can immediately ship these 30 million doses while we start the next 30 million.

We don't get approved? Write off the produced doses, fix your process, and try again.
The whole point of a carbon tax is to be passed on to the consumer. That's a feature, not a bug.

Consumer want cars (and appliances in general) that, all else being equal, are cheaper to own and use.

With a carbon tax, Ford can decide whether they want to offer more efficient ICE or electric cars to reach that goal.

(And consumers can decide whether to use any of these options that Ford offers, or to just drive less.

Or, for some, to just suck up the cost and drive the same as before.)

My conception of fundamental human rights is based upon “what would I agree justifies a forceful intervention/war.” Without spilling far more ink then I have time for here, I’ll just say that is a very short list and guaranteed health care doesn’t meet the criteria.

Doesn’t mean I don’t society should try to provide that service, but I’m not going to support intervention in another state if they don’t.

What's next, getting rid of comments? I use YouTube less and less these days, but I have to say that the dislike button tends to hold more utility than the great swathes of garbage comments. Not that I'm advocating for getting rid of comments, but I see plenty of disliking within them.
Some stupid plan hatched by the Trudeau Government to punish Snowbirds and bail out the Hotel Industry Never mind most of them were able to get the vaccine in the Jan while in Florida and many Canadians are still waiting and will be for months. Theater for the masses at the expense of Canadians returning from the USA.

If you're a Canadian wanting to return to Canada (Ontario/Toronto) and avoid a 2k hotel bill for 3 days, just fly to Buffalo and take a Uber to the border from the airport, walk across and have someone pick you up.
"Truly intelligently designed life" would need to be designed by somebody truly intelligent. But all we got is us. So, that will always be beyond us.
Sure. It's made by SAP.
You are theoretically correct. But we haven't yet attained practical command of the ideas, haven't turned them into technologies. Because of that, any level of detail is about as believable as any sci—fi. In practice, things may end unattainable in the form we currently imagine them, and anything along the lines most likely will not be very similar, except in deepest principles.

We can conservatively say that even though there is a limit to amount of computation produced in a given volume, temperature range, and time, this limit is still sky-high compared to what we do now. OTOH the speed of light is already a major limiting factor.
How much volume is actually available inside of asteroids that populate our solar system?

This xkcd talks instead about surface area, but suggests that the Earth holds a good chunk of the mine-able volume that can fuel industry.

Now, if we could siphon off hydrogen from the gas giants and fuse them into heavier elements, we could have orders of magnitude more material to work with.

“Local founders/investors are annoyed by the gate-keeping role that YC is unintentionally playing. This role is being reinforced by market-ignorant – often foreign – investors,” was another.

Definition of Gatekeeping: the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something.

The internet tells me there isn't really an antonym for this word, which makes me feel better about failing to think up any myself. But I would imagine YC is serving to open a way for foreign money to flow in, not serving to control, limit and decide whom to let in or keep out.

If that is accurate, they really should do some research and write about that to educate people that "We absolutely aren't gatekeeping anything here. If people are using our activities as a proxy metric for what to throw money at themselves without doing a lot of research on their own, that's not us gatekeeping anything whatsoever."

I'm short of sleep and not heavily invested in creating some free PR resources for a multi-billion dollar company, but I imagine it would take a bit of research to come up with a good concept or metaphor to do this justice. However, it would likely be well worth the time spent on it in terms of making people in foreign countries feel more at ease with their activities.

I'm sure there are legitimate concerns on the ground in Africa about (things like) the potential impact of foreign money and foreign expertise flowing in without a lot of context and local knowledge to inform those choices. But this idea that YC is gatekeeping something is probably flat out wrong in a way that essentially drags their name through the mud baselessly.
It looks nice! :)
Ugh - I can feel the frustration through the intertubes :(
What a silly conspiracy theory. If the wanted to hide embarrassing downvotes on certain videos, they'd just remove those downvotes, not the entire feature.

That is an odd mix of characters! Sorry you got delayed for a while with the endocrinologist who didn't know what was up. Like I said, glad that the doctors as a total cohort got you here.
I mostly agree, but I don't think that's responsive to what I said. My point was that, to the best of my understanding, the idea of "female DNA" just doesn't seem like a good way of conceptualizing biological sex, to the point where it doesn't seem useful to me for explaining anything.

The actual changes needed to flip an embryo from male to female are fairly tiny. On the other hand, the number of genes related to sex characteristics is large, but they're mostly shared between both sexes and not uniformly expressed in members of a given sex (hence why transgender HRT administered before puberty results in development largely indistinguishable from a natural puberty). So proposing "female DNA" as a cause for some observation seems unenlightening to me.
That sounds pretty bad.

I'd want to put driving-less on similar footing to buying a fancier car.

A carbon tax does that automatically with no extra bureaucracy.

(I'm all for taking the proceeds of a carbon tax and distributing them equally amongst all voters, if you want to make the whole thing revenue neutral for both the government and the 'average' consumer.)
There is a political angle as well. Official Whitehouse videos have been getting 10x the downvotes as upvotes.

Interesting insights, thank you for sharing. I will need to think it over as well (and maybe read up on economics) ...
Happy to see Anna von Hausswolff mentioned here! Dead Magic is such a great album.
The thing is that we're already paying for most of the law/order/government infrastructure anyway. Once you hire the cops and soldiers to enforce "he can't take your sticks and rocks", "he can't reallocate your bank balance" adds trivial overhead.
For contrast, I'm looking at the old C#7 and C#8 release notes--I can say our team frequently uses:

C# 7

- value tuples
- local functions
- throw expressions
- default literals
- out variables

C# 8

- switch expressions
- using declarations
- static local functions
- asynchronous streams
- null-coalescing assignment
- enhance string interpolation e.g. via @$ prefix

How does this differ from other GPU accelerated terminals, i.e. alcritty, Windows Terminal, etc?
Unfortunately, exchanges like Coinbase still ironically help prevent more attacks when it comes to asset pricing (decentralized match making is ah... not that secure or sane.) Potentially you could build something like the equivalent of Transfer Wise but for placing orders on exchanges if you don't trust that a certain exchange as playing fair.

The meta exchange would have accounts on all major exchanges with USD and BTC balances. When you place orders, it trades from its balance on other exchanges, maybe splitting them up between multiple sites. The exchange would then instantly credit your balance when orders were filled and track who owned what on its backend (which would only hold BTC and USD deposits -- no trading engine.) Could work really well if you kept wallets well stocked.

Am half asleep here. Prob already done. I know there are programs for managing multiple user accounts. But anyone doing something like the above? Would sure be useful I imagine

Oh I see, so it's one font but two styles. That makes more sense (though to be honest I don't think I knew older terminals could do italics either)
I agree. How else are we to measure the subjectivity of “quality” if not by approval or disapproval of people?
I'm guessing because you're not really making "15 million of something". The process is more like making one or two (or ten) batches, which is then sub-divided into 15 million doses.

It'd be like the difference between burning dinner 7 nights in a row, versus making a single mistake during Meal Prep Sunday and ruining a weeks worth of dinners all at once. The latter is much more understandable.
Well now I just feel old.
Title is misleading. YouTube is testing removing the ability for viewers to see the dislikes. Video owners can still see the dislikes.

I am skeptical about this design change fixing the stated concern, which is creator "well-being". If good faith creators can still see the dislike count, they will still feel miserable. Anyway, if you are putting yourself out there, other people taking a dump on you is part of the deal, because other people... you know, exist. If creator well-being is a concern, Google should focus on preventing or minimising actual harassment campaigns instead of these minimal design changes.

The design change also assumes that all creators are good faith actors whose well-being ought to be managed, which is impossibly idealistic. If there is a way for bad faith actors to benefit at the cost of good faith actors, they will exploit that, and the good faith actors will lose ground over the long term.

It also ignores that dislikes can be given for many reasons, hiding valuable screening information from the viewer. It should not be up to Google to hide this info and finesse their recommendation engine behind the scenes to serve relevant videos. Google would optimize for views, not the content in the video.

> Our needed outcome is createing tax for cost of carbon capture for every ton made of carbon in atomosphere.

That's one outcome, but not the only one. Things like emission taxation make sense, even if there's no remediation financed with the proceeds.

See eg the sulphur dioxide emissions cap and trade program. (https://voxeu.org/article/lessons-climate-policy-us-sulphur-...) I don't think they used the proceeds to fund sulphur dioxide capture.

> This is possibly meaning different mode of transport, some things maybe remote, bicycles, trains, others.

Yes, exactly. Also: just forgoing some trips. Or driving more efficiently etc.
Let’s cut the BS. It’s about not looking bad. Its that simple
Thank you so much. I’ll give this a try when I get home. Much appreciated.
> News sites started stripping comments from articles so long ago. When you see a comment section on the bottom of an article or blog, it contributes to that feeling that the website hasn't had a remodel in a long time.

I've noticed that this is correlated with AMP adoption. Many news sites still have comments on the "full" page but not the AMP page.
Case in point, this dissenting opinion. Proving the point
I don't want to bring the State into this. Yes there are censorship issues. But Tencent does a LOT of horrible things with WeChat that are not even required by the state. I'm talking Apple-level horrible.

That was definitely a thought that passed through my head at some point, but the problem is, I question the premise. Where is the proof that it's a natural kind of population control -- what if it's potentially a driving factor of genetic fitness and evolution itself? Not to get too anthropocentric, but what if, grotesquely, there is a form of sentience to which we are merely the raw calories and nutrients for it to metabolize into something else?

I don't have a good enough bio background to give a great answer here. But I can reference a paper that has provoked all manners of thoughts on my end [1].

So if you take a read through that paper, perhaps you can begin to wonder what I am so nervous about. If vaccines previously mediated human evolution to some degree, what's going to happen when humans begin to seize control of that mediator? What's the runaway feedback loop look like?

Life forms spontaneously?

Where’s your evidence?

Is it not your position that all life on the planet has a common ancestor?

Or, do you believe there has been more than one ‘spontaneous’ emergence of life on earth?
I believe canada proposed doing it by taking all the money collected through the carbon tax and giving it equally to all Canadian citizens. This would mean everyone gets back the amount that the average person paid, making it so the average person sees no change in their level of taxation. (It also has the effect of turning it into a highly progressive tax)

Definitely. Since 2013, Iceland has been advertised more as a tourist destination leading to more tourists.
Thats great that you work and play in the same location, you are lucky!

Now imagine if your office moved to a tiny, faraway town with no food, nightlife, or dancing. Does remote work seem more appealing?
It's really easy to reason like that when you are not the one that needs treatment.

Otherwise I am pretty sure 100% of people will think that every effort should be made.
> On its face, this argument is clearly wrong. "Absolutely nothing", is not equivalent to extremely little. Especially when, as in the case of Google Maps, there is a large multiplier.

It makes sense to look at these things normalised per-capita.

So for Google, making a small change has a big impact per-Googler, but it's still a small change per-capita.

Making a small per-capita change is still a small change overall.

Maps makes it pretty easy to report a route like that. I've done so before.
Awesome idea, really. I just wish it wasn’t centered around Twitter.
Seconded. It was so rough with the sidebar it was totally unreadable for me on mobile. The page loaded with the main content completely out of focus, and when I swiped over to it, the sidebar havoc began.
The new copy is pushed to the CDN pretty quickly. I don’t know much about vercel. But the benefit of CDNs is that there is a 1:N relationship between you and the edge servers, and then an N:M relationship from the edge servers to the users.

So there are a lot more servers much closer to people using your site. Pushing a new copy from “you” to each edge server is pretty straightforward. I imagine Vercel does it pretty quickly, but sometimes the edge server could poll for changes maybe once a minute, which is pretty cheap to do.
Only if the Modi government isn’t capped it’s going to be no different than the Chinese system. Possibly worse: the facism and genocide with none of the efficiency benefits!
When a project becomes focused on throwing people under the bus instead of creating the best tools for people to use, it's time to jump ship. If any GNU developers are unhappy with the way things are, they are more than free to fork and walk away instead of wasting everyone's time.
Some of our sources are written from scratch, some are wrappers directly over Singer, and others are wrappers over forks of Singer taps that we've updated/improved. All of our destinations right now do not depend on Singer.

The high level strategy of orchestrating sources/destinations is similar although configuration, state management, source/destination installation/isolation, normalizing data, etc. are quite different.
That sounds ab9ut right. Its a band-aid for expanding standard care and standard diagnoatics and general preventative(pre-op weight manahement, diabetes etc). For specialist and subsequent non-streamlined health necessities like treatment for extensive illnesses (cancer, autoimmune disease, cardiovasc, nervous, muscular disease, tumor response care) and spur of the moment operation stuffs, wont hold much. Need a bigger systemic solution.
Uh this has nothing to do with China.

Tencent does some horrible things with software beyond the laws of China. Apple does too -- that's why I don't use an iPhone as my normal phone. But I have to use an iPhone for certain test apps and I'd like to be able to spoof GPS for Apple and Tencent at the same time.

I'm much more concerned about these companies invading my privacy than the US or China government.
The only countries of comparable size to the United States are in the developing world. That's a horrible bar for the richest country in the world to be trying to meet. If anything, it has the unique advantage of having unprecedented economies of scale among developed nations.

I keep harping on drug prices, because you keep mentioning R&D. R&D is not the reason for why non-drug healthcare is so expensive. There is no mechanism by which high R&D costs lead to high specialist/GP/nursing/administration costs. There's no way for, say, Pfizer to siphon money from any of that into R&D. R&D is not the reason for why these costs are so high.
I think the argument is that the buyer wouldn't know whether you still have a copy of the key or not. The idea is that the blockchain is used to ensure you cannot backdate a transaction.

Mind you, I'm not a blockchain fan, and I believe that blockchains and cryptocurrencies are the absolute worst way to solve the problem.
I tried using it but the one built into JetBrains IDE's to me is just better.

Why should we get scientific? You didn't. You assumed some stuff, and came up with exponentially self-improving AI. That's not science.

There is no scientific reason why global quantum communication means that an AI hits exponential growth. (If there is, you sure haven't supplied it! You've just asserted that it is so.)
Not everyone who disagrees with you is stupid. You are entitled to your take on my unpopular opinion but it's arguing in bad faith to label my concerns as "dramatic". I simply disagree about the tradeoffs and it doesn't come from an uninformed or non-quantitatively-thinking position, I just weigh health risk mitigation higher than you do (even for long tail risks).

In this case, my primary issue isn't with the 2ppm of benzene itself, it's with the race to quickly and quietly change it in the first place. The FDA (and the Feds in general) move glacially on important topics but when their buddies in the ethanol fuel business need something, they jump to loosen regulations to make production easier.
> When a project becomes focused on throwing people under the bus instead of creating the best tools for people to use,

FSF has always been, and overtly so, about discouraging, preventing, and cancelling-by-social pressure tools with bad politics, not creating the best tools for people to use.
Yes, though like many other American reactions to the oil shock, this was pretty silly.

High petrol prices automatically discourage speeding. (Just as a carbon tax would.)

Of course, the US also had price controls on petrol. And the ensuing long queues and fights at the petrol station.

Their anarcho-capitalist utopian neighbour [1] to the north did not enact price controls for petrol, and subsequently did not see any queues or fights.

[1] Only half joking here: in many respects Canada is more what we'd call neoliberal today than the US. Compare also https://www.alt-m.org/2015/07/29/there-was-no-place-like-can...
I imagine the people doing the actual work do see the value in the floors and fireplaces and they end up salvaged, somewhere. I hope so anyways.
The personal massager. After 53 years of sales it's still very well regarded.
In addition to what the other user said, most changes are also small. Google's infra and culture encourages changes that are the size of a commit, not a pull request.

This depends on the particular language and context, but simple, isolated, and usually small changes are preferred and encouraged. This allows relatively quick review for lots of things.

If I see a change that modifies a single function and adds a test to validate the change in functionality, that's very quick to review.
Floodgating.
The generation quality observed will reflect the overall quality and personality of the prompt the transformation model receives.

I would've been more interested to see the output associated with high quality internet content rather than as the article puts it, a "top ten listicle". Worth considering what the most likely best sources of amusing pranks would be, perhaps anecdotal stories? Likely better than SEO content marketing stuff.
