Small in what sense? We have Obamacare and most people now support it, and there isn't that much support for program that's $3 trillion a year bigger. We supported foreign wars, and did a few, then we didn't, and so now we're not intervening in Ukraine. As you observe, we have little will to battle climate change. Everybody dislikes corporations in the abstract, but we vote with our wallets and keep voting for Amazon over the Mom & Pop. If you keep in mind that the median voter is like 45, I don't really see how the country doesn't closely reflect what most people want.

By contrast, our disagreements regarding what you teach my kids about the nature of marriage and our purpose on the earth, or the laws around terminating human life, or whether we should have a color blind society or not, seem pretty important by comparison. Whatever problems we perceive ourselves as having, we don’t trust others to fix them if we disagree about fundamental things like the socialization of children.
> it's bad if people lose their entire life savings

What is even worse is that those life savings will be collected by criminals and personalities alike. I'll be glad only if those people will be put in jail for running all those frauds and scams.
Yeah because the fed is hiking rates due to crypto causing inflation? Or it was crypto that was used for extreme QE? Or was it crypto that caused companies to inflate their stock values via buybacks?

Not to mention crypto marketcap and volume is a drop in the bucket compared to securities.
MacOS Classic 6.0 (maybe even earlier) also included formatting on the clipboard. Don’t think it was rtf in those days though. But definitely preserved formatting as early as 1990. Maybe earlier.

While I'm sure many people were laboring under the belief that a stablecoin couldn't fall, I've seen lots of commentary about various stablecoins not being properly backed by USD and thus being probable targets for an attack like this one, going back almost a year. I'm not arguing this isn't, in some sense, a 'big deal', but we've seen crypto as an asset class shrug off objectively worse disasters.

We need a political movement
Strong agree but I'm not aware wether adult stem cells can be grown into whole organs.
It's true that e.g the spleen can respawn after ablation so definitely not impossible.
Although of course the graal is your sperm, it is a DNA that is 0 years old, you can't make it any younger! Growing fœtuses without brains might be a real possibility and the ultimate medecine breakthrough.

Note that your eyeball metabolism can be significantly rejuvenated, e.g retinalamin often reverse blindness in humans. Or Skq1/visomiten. Glaucoma and macular degeneration are totally solved problems.
As for myself I want to shrink my eyeballs (myopia) but this is not pharmacologically doable (because extremely undefunded) although Berberine do very significantly slow the myopia progress.
Hahaha holy shit, how has there been so much discussion about Tether that doesn't start and end citing these clauses?
A fatal flaw of the android ecosystem; Apple users see them all as one and the same. I have both my Samsung S6 and my Nexus 6P (business phone) from 2014/15 still working, with the first as my daily driver still to this day. On the other hand, I had HTC One A9 that gave up the ghost after about year 4 from numerous hardware and software failures.

Out of curiosity, I tried these two on that same data & computer as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31356573 , mlr --c2t cat takes 2.96 seconds while xsv cat rows to /dev/null takes 0.434 seconds. So, 14.8X and 2.17X slower than that c2tsv Nim program to do exactly (and only) that conversion. But, yes, yes I am sure perf varies depending on quoting/escaping/column/etc. densities.
How much of the DAU do you think is bot driven? I suspect it's larger than a publicly traded stock company is willing to admit and that some of that cesspool rhetoric is Aktive Measures to provoke unrest. Perhaps taking Twitter private and removing the chorus of machines will actually make it a more pleasant experience. Content Mod is never easy but expunging the bot armies is a big first step.
This has been how I remember copy/paste working on the on the Alto back in the 1970s. I believe copy/paste was invented by Larry Tesler and it wasn't just in the editor (Bravo/Gypsy -- I can no longer remember) but worked this way in other programs as well.

PARC was a magical place back then.

> many people make several million dollars over their life time but see it as to high of a risk to put 10k into something that could go to zero but it also could go to 100k or even more. That does not make much sense. The question should not be "should I risk the 10k? The question should be "am I in a financial position that allows me to lose 10k?"

I see where you're trying to go by framing a loss against lifetime earnings, but I think that could lead some investors to mislead themselves. Someone who is willing to bet 10K on black at the roulette table is almost certainly going to gamble more than once in their lives. The question should be, "am I in a financial position that allows me to lose 10k right now, and can I trust myself to walk away from the table if I do lose?"
Ah yes?

It all sounds like too much Kool-aid has been drunk by the employees. That's the creepy thing about it to me. Another example of where the employees wear company branded clothing. I've worked for a place where the company sold their branded items to employees and the employees would purchase each and every new version that was offered. I swear I could hear them chanting "one of us".
The article simply shows this is not born out by evidence in certain cities. That doesn't mean it can't be true in others.

In general, it seems pretty clear that if a city is attracting new people, the article is right: whatever else you do, keeping the housing supply limited will increase prices. The mistake NIMBYs make is typically to assume the city population won't grow if they prevent new housing stock, but this is not the case - even if a city has tight regulations on no new housing, adjacent communities will likely not, and will simply cause sprawl from there.

However, there may be cities that are not seeing significant population growth, and are still seeing significant price increases, for various other reasons (tourism, realty as investment, gentrification, etc).
its the reason i completely ignore twitter now. its not a site to reach out to the publicc its a site to communicate to a small subset of logged in users.
Sure, but GPT-3 was trained by self-supervised learning on only static text. We see how powerful even just adding captions to text can be with the example of DALLE-2. GATO takes this further by letting the large scale Transformer learn in both simulated and real interactive environments, giving it the kind of grounding that the earlier models lacked.
I tried a bunch of alternatives and wound up paying for premium Trello or whatever it's called for the family. Set it up thusly:

- an iOS widget that makes capturing things super fast and easy

- an INBOX board where cards land, with lists that are auto-populated by card label

- a button to move a card to a THIS WEEK board that has lists for each day of the week

- a button to send a card back if it ain't happening this week

- a timeline view that is the reason we pay the insane price, but which is indeed very useful

I think it's worth the single-person license. I don't think it's worth that for every user, and may downgrade at the end of my annual license.

I hope they don't muck it up with feature creep, but the polish they have put on Trello is quite nice.
> Tell them that if their president didn't say he wanted to join NATO

Ukraine already applied to NATO. NATO's adherence to it's own acceptance rules are purely political. NATO did not accept Ukraine's application because there were lands in dispute - with Russia - which disqualifies you from membership until it's resolved. NATO obv does not want to accept new members that immediately put the whole organization in a conflict. Other countries, with similar land disputes have been accepted, but that's largely because none of the contesting countries were Russia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine%E2%80%93NATO_relations

It doesnt take decades to for NATO to accept a country. The org has been dragging it's feet because it didn't want to trigger the likely Ukraine conflict and be involved in it directly.
That's a great point, actually.
My theory is that the crash was caused by terra's attempts to defend the UST peg, and now that they have effectively abandoned the peg by halting the terra blockchain, we may see other crypto prices recover. (Not financial advice, obviously. I could easily be wrong.)
I've seen this myself, turning off location services solved the issue for me.

It's definitely there and happening.
OP here, so call me biased, but I tend to disagree. Curious to hear your thought on alternative or better approaches to system design here.

In my experience you need some amount of boilerplate, or what I'd call _architecture_, to have a stable system. Give too much freedom ("just use get/set" or "variables on context"), and not only can no other developer on your team not maintain your code, but no part of your app will work together after a while. You'll end up with multiple incompatible implementations of ad-hoc state machines.

The key to maintainability is to use a framework that forces you to do spend a bit more effort than you'd do when coding YOLO, but which forces everyone on the team to make the same tradeoff. The result: everyone can jump in to any part of the project and with a bit of digging around be fluent in the surroundings.

Kea seems to strike a pretty good balance of making this possible in large projects.
Yea I am not sure I get his argument much at all either. While I love my analog watches and wallclocks I also have digital ones. If anything I think the argument should be that the AM PM system is just ridiculous - why do we use it? I am an american but always switch all clocks to 24 hour time (if digital) and while I am completely used to analog clocks being on the standard 12 hour cycle it always also seemed crazy to me that we do not just all use 24 hour analog watchfaces.
So true. Yes there are a minority making huge sums of money in crypto but most are young or naive people putting in savings they need and HODLing this trash until it sinks.
> I do not understand why the most services doesn't do diffs by them self.

Because they don't want you to notice the changes.
Still have two .bat scripts (on/off) on my desktop from a time when I only had wifi. And it still baffles me that such measures can be necessary.
For the history of Google Maps, Earth, and Street View, check out "Never Lost Again: The Google Mapping Revolution That Sparked New Industries and Augmented Our Reality". Written by one of the founders of Keyhole (the company that built what became Google Earth), the book is mostly about the founding of Keyhole and gathering map data from many sources, but also talks about Google's acquisition of Where 2 Technologies (the company that built what became Google Maps).
The exact same arguments used by Chamberlain, etc. Putin has the off-ramp he needs - move out of Ukraine, return all of cupped territories.

Anything less is appeasement.
The sooner the crash the less overall harm it will do. Right now the crypto sector is still small enough it probably won't demolish the world economy the way the 2008 debt crisis did. Although it's already bad for some countries foolish enough to get in deep, like El Salvador.

The big one is going to be Tether. When that inevitably fails I think it will kill 80% or more of the cryptocurrency market.
Oops! Of course I do. I'm just quite tired.

By the way: no pedantry involved (unless you mean the "educating" value of information passed here where "intellectual curiosity" is the criterion for exchange). The purpose and implicit messages in your original post were unclear (many readings were possible).

The margin loans will almost certainly be replaced with outside equity prior to closing.
Twitter copied all of those features from other apps. Spaces = Clubhouse, Fleets (which was also cancelled last year) = Snapchat. At best, Kayvon was good a being reactionary to competition. Not that great of a track record.
Hope you could get offline and let it all be for a while and concentrate on figuring out the most important: your IRL relationships and get support from "real people" around you.

You're in my prayers.
It's interesting you mention the relationship with Turkish. I had a colleague that would keep mentioning the similarities while I was learning it.

I feel like during Ottoman times Hungary got quite a lot of Turkish words. And also the Baths!
>People seem to model it like a smart person rather than something that thinks truly magnitudes faster than us.

Exactly, the right model is probably something like it will be in relation to humans as humans are to frogs. Frogs can't even begin to comprehend even the most basic of human motivations or plans.
The purpose is to secure my savings against inflation and confiscation. It is a very useful thing, I assure you.
Even for a Teenage Engineering product, I have sticker shock over this and their field mixer. They're nice products, but the premium is so high. I mean, I kind of get it. Their original OP-1 remains the top selling synth after 10 years. And the product is much loved and used (at least on Youtube). But, for the price of an OP-1 Field you can get a couple of Elektron digi-boxes, with a bit of money left over. This is certainly more portable... but wow $2,000 is a bit steep. I mean, I still want it, of course.

I suspect we will. I hope we don’t give it e.g. a dark triad personality disorder when we do, though I fear we may — I suspect there more ways to make a broken mind than a healthy one.
Tesla FSD is quickly becoming less of a software problem and more of a problem of semantics.

If the car drives someone to and from work 30 days in a row without a problem, is it truly FSD? What about 300 days? Where do you draw the line? 1000x safer than the average human?

Same thing here will AI. How many conversations with GTP-X need to happen without a stupid response from GTP before we call it real world AI?
Also my first thought - you'll probably get a better severance from your long-time coworker than the new guy who came in with the stated belief you've done everything wrong.
> I see the problem is that people look at the output of these things that are (say) 70% correct and in their mind they fill in the other 30%.

Q: Is there also some element of survival bias in the mix?

If you prompt GPT-3 with something and the answer is garbage, you probably don't write it up on your blog. If you get something that makes sense, then you do.
Speculative bubble. Or just bubble.

People buy it because they expect the price to go up. The price goes up so more people buy it expecting further gains. The fundamentals arguably don't justify such a high price, and so you have a speculative bubble. Eventually, the bubble will pop and most investors will lose money.

I suspect BTC is a bubble because everything it does can be done better by other things. I also suspect that Lightning is fundamentally insecure. If you analyse the true intentions of the people who use it, there's no sober purpose; they just want it because they expect the price to go up. It's not about helping the developing world; because if it was, then there are better but more boring ways of doing it. Hence, it's a bubble built from speculation.
The people using CentOS also wanted the stability. And if RH had added Stream as an option, that would have been totally reasonable and a great move. It was the way they killed the stable version while proclaiming that Stream was totally a good replacement that was disingenuous, because it was not a replacement for "as stable as RHEL without cost".
true, but when resolving a disagreement (not necessarily agreeing), as this discussion was, I find it most productive to identify the root cause.
Yeah, your website sucks. The product looks really nice, but the landing page barely even feels like it wants me to check it out. I can barely even tell it’s a landing page.

I was actually thinking about exactly this product earlier this week. I have kids and their schedule is really complicated these days - some days some of them need packed lunches, uniform is different on PE days etc etc. I want to walk into the kitchen and have the details for the day right there. There’s a real use for the product, you need to work on the landing page (I’d suggest considering starting again with a template)
Our Journey from Pets to Cattle
This entire thread was about this Innovative apps that people don't pay for. I can believe that people won't pay for some shitty apps that you spend 2 minutes on a year.

But for sure there are people that don't pay for apps, my parents don't have a credit card connected to their device, I told them that all they actually need is free and not risk buying garbage or get scammed.
> with no intermediaries?

You're connecting to some nodes, right, to send the transaction? Those are intermediaries. Very very few holders of crypto run their own nodes, these days.
By "potential" do you mean "potential stated by crypto investors & startup founders" or like...something more objective?
When Iris Murdoch Met Jean-Paul Sartre
Replacing Attenborough as the narrator on a nature documentary is a crime against humanity, and should be treated as such ;-)

What we need to do is feed all of his narrations from the last 60 years into an AI and get it to process them; then we can use this corpus to have all nature documentaries narrated by him forever more.

I am, of course, joking... but would it really be that bad an idea? ;-)
Nobody compared it to Luna UST. Luna/UST is not the crypto economy, just as Facebook is not the stock market.

The general crypto economy and the general stock market have declined similarly in volatility adjusted terms.

NATO is opposed to Russia insofar as it has a mutual defence pact against any Invader.

If Russia isn't invading any NATO country then there's no opposition.
What's your favorite PO? (or even a couple favorites)

I loved playing with the one I have (I can't remember which it is off the top of my head). But it never became a major part of my music noodling workflow and now is collecting dust somewhere.

I do remember at some point that a friend got a different one and I was struck with jealousy over all the cool stuff it could do that mine didn't. Maybe it's time to check out a different one. Any recommendations?

Russia also has not committed to a NFU policy. In fact, they have explicitly stated that, if Russia's survival is threatened (such as, you're rolling tanks over their border), then nukes are in play.

Of course, the problem is that Putin has a very expansive idea of "what threatens Russia"...
How much post processing is happening? This isn't raw co-ordinated but rather fit data?
There is a joke among audio engineers that they need to have a button specifically for this - I forget the exact name used ( I have heard several) but essentially it is a button that does nothing. The Exec or higher up asks for a very small tweak and the engineer obliges (by pressing the button) and then plays it back again. Nothing has changed but the Exec feels satisfied.
Thanks very much. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a hardware shortcoming; my laptop is from 2015/2016, I just never really notice because I only use it for the most barebones needs (I hate using laptops). You're probably right, so I'll check out that tool and see what I learn. thanks!
Phones are built that way, but by Apple, which unsurprisingly isn't really mentioned by androidauthority! Last year I upgraded my iphone 6 to 12, but still use my iphone 6 around the house for certain things.

Cars with higher resale value and longer life command a higher purchase price. I don't know why it should be any different in phones.
A lot of people at MIRI, OpenAI, Redwood Research, Anthropic etc. are thinking about this.

I think one possibility is that even a sufficiently strong Narrow AI is going to develop strong motivations because it will be able to perform it's Narrow task even better. Hence the classic paperclip maximizer idea.
I imagine that you are being glib, and I am not offering an opinion on the following point of view, but in the article Lucy Parker, postdoctoral researcher at Christ Church, Oxford, says: “If we define the Middle Ages in terms of prejudice and intolerance, then we must accept that we are still living in them today.”

> can you really blame people for investing

Yes, you can. You don't have to dig very deep into the crypto world to realize that a lot if not most of the participants have are not plain ol' honest folks making a big ol' mistake giving their hard-earned savings to a slick-talking salesman. They are conscious participants in what they know to be a get-rich quick scheme. They know it is shady, and they don't care, because they think they're going to get out before it crashes. They're motivated by greed, not innocence.

You can recognize this and still support regulation of the industry. One of the big reasons you need regulation is to protect people from their own stupid greed.
Of course there's no evidence that this isn't just what Human Brains are doing either.
