It’s useful to be able to run code in a sandboxed environment.

Or, in other words, the ideas and values that people live their lives by usually work for them, to some degree. Often in ways that aren’t immediately obvious. Making changes to a working system that one relies on isn’t something to be done lightly. You can see this with a specific subset of psychedelics enthusiasts, who end up completely fracturing their ability to function in reality. Or in people who don’t have a working value and belief system in the first place and end up being preyed on by cults.

Human life is infinitely complex. None of us have it figured out, and none of us are going to figure it out even if we lived for a thousand years. What’s the biggest code change you think you can make to a working piece of software without introducing a bug? That entire piece of software is only a fraction as complicated as the human condition.

> It might seem open-minded and intellectual, but if across time, there's no change in belief via deeper understanding from considering new and different perspectives, that then results in outward action, then all the talk in the world about ideas and perspectives is just hot air.

Sure. Is that so bad? The cautionary tale on the other side of the ledger is every failed attempt to build a utopia based on theory. This sort of thing was one of the leading causes of unnatural death in the 20th century.

To be clear, I think it’s definitely possible to err on the other side as well. But erring on the other side looks like being unwilling to play with ideas at all. You need a sandboxed environment if you’re going to play with ideas, and even when an idea is promising enough that you might want to take it out of the sandbox, it’s hard to tell whether that’s because of the merits of the idea or just a vulnerability in your sandbox.
Thats the misconception i was talking about. Unless you are traveling the high seas regularly, you will sooner or later get into the situation, that you come back and all your links are dead.
> It's one thing to nonchalantly say "this is alive" and a very different thing when you have to deal with the consequences.

Yeah, fully agreed! Chatbots and "creative" ML systems are in the weird spot where they can't physically kill or hurt people, like e.g. a self-driving car, and perform tasks that "feel" like they need intelligence.

It's also absolutely quite possible that the "chunk" is way smaller than I think, I'm just blindly extrapolating from my social bubble :D

It’s the highest listened to podcast for many years now. You don’t find that impressive?

I’m not a Howard Stern fan, but I’m impressed by the reach of his satellite show.

Do you not find podcasts impressing at all? Reaching millions of people for hours each week is very rare.
Nothing about a moderator necessitates quickness, and what may be tendentious to you is not to someone else. In fact, quickness is a negative trait of a moderator, when their decisions are as impactful as limiting speech.

And nobody said anything about debating anyone, I'm wholly uninterested in dang's perspective at this point, he's made his lack of ability in this area perfectly clear.

It's also perfectly clear how little is in his toolbox to enforce his decisions however, so I suppose it's mostly a wash.
It doesn’t matter they pretend to pay if the rightful owners want them out.
I just ignore those offers these days, the contract rate is actually lower than my permanent job pays, which is, interesting.

This project was partially inspired by this Show HN "I had some time yesterday so I made a GPT3 podcast to help you sleep" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29428910

So it seemed like the same sort of thing and therefore valid.
When I said "punish", I meant that the ranking algorithm should do that. It's not about vengeance, it's about filtering out SEO spam. The problem with filtering out SEO spam by detecting it as such is that it's by definition an arms race. That's why I propose to instead of looking for the symptom (SEO spam) pull it out at the wrong incentive structure that's causing it (ads).

>I’ll hold off declaring it dead till it is well and truly dead.

The classical Moore's law formulation has been dead for 15 years already. What we have now is whataboutism about why it still holds.
Interesting you ask that; it's only been on itch.io up until now because I was printing incredibly small zine runs (like sub 20-30) off the office printer; but recently have been working with a printer for the next few and have a surplus to which I might send out to various zine ships. Good thinking. ;)
I'm not confident that censorship is the right answer, but it also seems anti-intellectual to deny that information flows through complex systems in viral and unexpected ways and assume the best outcomes will occur naturally when powerful organizations and people promoting certain perspectives over others, without concern for veracity of those perspectives.

There are people who travel the country after school shootings, comforting parents who lost children, and one of the first things they have to tell them is to brace themselves for all of the harassment and abuse they will receive from people who believe that all school shootings are false flag operations.
why not just convert everything to metric if you're King?
I'm confused about your claim that 90% of MSM is the same if I'm pointing out that just briefly going to top podcasts points out two radically differing MSM taking the top 2. That doesn't sound like 90% saying the same stuff to me. Especially if you consider Joe Rogan himself to also be MSM. I don't even know the definition of MSM then or how you can say 90% of them are anything.
Try it yourself ;) I haven't spotted any but I can't dispute the parents observations.
Most PiHole users aren't, either. You insert an SD card into a Raspberry Pi or similar, and it boots. Some people sell preimaged SD cards, some sell prebuilt devices - I've seen both on eBay.
Huh, I thought he was free speech absolutist?
That's a pretty large estimate. I'd be surprised if even 10% of Americans even listen to podcasts at all.
I live in a rural place and messed around with satellite and starlink for a while. Finally just buy the bullet and shelled out $25k to get a dedicated fiber line to the house. Now I have 1Gbps down and all I can say is that it was worth every penny.
I often get pings for research consulting interviews, that pay very well, and take an hour or so. Maybe thats something to look at.

That said, be cautious about conflicts. If you work for a mega corp like a hyperscaler it is going to be very hard to avoid the appearance of conflict.

Can you build a binary on NetBSD with gcc or whatever, linked to the system libc (or whatever usually happens by default), such that you can copy it over to a FreeBSD or OpenBSD system and it'll just run, without having to install any kind of special compat or emulation layer?

If so, ok, sure, then you have a point. Otherwise, no, those are three distinct OSes, and it's entirely correct to list them as such.

I know you can't mix macOS into that, so the "or 4 if I'm generous" is pretty unfair.

> The "OS" in BIOS doesn't stand for Operating System! It's Basic Input/Output System.

I don't think the author is claiming it means "Operating System", just that "BIOS" is a simple shorthand for "bare metal". Which no, isn't an "operating system" in the classical sense, but it is a standardized set of very low-level system services that sorta vaguely kinda acts like one. And if we consider UEFI rather than old-school PC-BIOS, it's even more like an OS.

Not at all; but you can look at the Smalltalk-72 source code.

Examples of "true" message passing are e.g. SOAP or MPI. Erlang is an example where message passing is indeed part of the language; another example are Go channels.

The author is using a text-to-image neural network to generate an image, in this case the author is also conditioning the model on a sketch to guide the generation process.
Honestly I think natural selection will take care of this problem. Just let the birds kill themselves, eventually they will learn to stay away from the giant whirling death blades.

Most birds are afraid of humans and other animals because of this exact mechanism.

We should just worry about making these things as aesthetically appealing to humans and as efficient as possible.
There are many good/great podcasts out now that don't hesitate to conduct 1-3 hour meandering interviews with interesting people on a regular basis. I don't recall seeing that before JRE. So even if you never listen to his show, I think he has improved the media landscape.

As long as Conway's law holds, system design is going to be at the mercy of the person who designs the team organization. It doesn't really matter what title you give things.

I can tell you from experience that powering through a conways law mismatch doesnt yield good results. "communications overhead" feels abstract, so let me make it more concrete. When the org structure has no mapping to the software structure, the following bad things happen:

- there is no clear rule for who's job it is to fix a bug. You have to always inspect the code and guess.

- same issue for code review, and your code quality standard ends up beholden to the team with the tightest deadlines

- nobody knows which manager to escalate issues to, and the only effective strategy is to haul a bunch of PMs and senior engineers into a conf call to analyze and decide

- the testing and release strategy becomes one size fits all, and cannot make any assumptions about independent subcomponents of software -- you have to test and release the entire product in one go

This is the form communication overhead takes.

a clump of fetal cells is the textbook definition of dependent and inseparable. you're otherwise projecting what they might become if everything goes well, not objectively perceiving what they are in the present. if we projected every human that way, we're all dead, and therefore worthless.

neither our subjective nor objective experience of those cells today is equivalent to that of any human being around us. you just can't get to the conclusion you want with only biology and objectivity, because your key premise is neither an objective nor a biological axiom.
If we have obj which holds ((x (y . z))), cdadar is a nicer way to get the z than (rest (first (rest (first obj)))).

What would improve things would be to have the mirror image functions:

rac
rdc

raac
rdac
radc
rddc

and so on. We might as well drop the final c, too.

These would read out the traversal from left to right. (radad obj) would take the car, then cdr, then car, then cdr, left to right.

This would be better in a left-to-right threading macro:

(--> (whatever) radad (+ 3) ...)

because it would be equivalent to

(--> (whatever) car cdr car cdr (+ 3) ...)

the expansion to car/cdr is in the same order.

> Plus if there was significant charge in your body, or structure you would feel it.

The point of my comment was that you probably come from a humid climate, because in dry climates, with plastic everywhere (as you correctly say, charge buildup from triboelectric effects), you do feel it, often. The whole industry behind ESD testing, protection, straps, sensors, and equipment wouldn't exist if charge buildup on humans were rare. As an electrical engineer, you should certainly know about the human body model [1] and have possibly even used an ESD gun to meet the relevant ESD standards (probably MIL-STD-883H for you, ANSI for my line of work).

> any body charge someone does have is a result of the triboelectric effect, which is charge seperation, no charge is created

I don't think this is relevant, since I'm not aware of a power source that creates charges, that a human would be intentionally exposed to. But, that doesn't matter, in this context. Where the +ve is at the time is irrelevant if the accumulation of -ve (or visa versa, I don't know anything about "grounding" stuff) on the body is what is claimed to cause the problems. The separation of that charge appears to be the the problem, with the "grounding" acting as a way to keep the "water level", rather than "eventually level".

I'm not seeing a more fundamental issue in this thread; What are we trying to teach, and why? It's easy to subject people to studying math, history, etc. What if we wanted to teach appropriate social interaction? Moral analysis (NOT morals)? Critical thinking? Developing self knowledge?

The problem is that we need interactions with live humans to explore these subjects. Gaming in the metaverse won't do the job.
No, what was at issue was precisely their creation of a dress code:

> The NLRB's 3-2 decision went along party lines, with Republicans dissenting. The Democratic majority said it "found that it was unlawful for Tesla to maintain a policy requiring employees to wear a plain black T-shirt or one imprinted with the employer's logo, thus prohibiting employees from substituting a shirt bearing union insignia." Tesla's strict enforcement of the policy began in 2017, shortly after employees started wearing union shirts in a Fremont, California, factory.

They did not explicitly ban union insignia, they instituted a dress code.
> We need people to do low level jobs. So if UBI exists, wages will need to rise until people are willing to do them.

Andrew Yang's premise is that those low level jobs are increasingly being automated away anyway - meaning that no, we don't need people to do them.

Even without that premise, this argument presupposes that people receiving UBI will do so in exclusion to working. That doesn't really logically or practically follow; it's just as possible that people will work anyway because extra spending money is extra spending money. They'll work because they want to work, not because they're being actively coerced to work.

> This will happen along with price raises until an equilibrium is found where poor people need to work in order to survive.

With Yang's proposal, the "price raises" part is probably true, yes. However, that has nothing to do with UBI; instead, it has to do with VAT. VAT advocates oft insist that it's somehow "not a sales tax" and therefore "totally not regressive like a sales tax", but at the end of the day consumers are paying more than they otherwise would for goods - and since consumer spending is disproportionately higher (relative to income/wealth) for the working class than the ownership class (or low/middle v. high, if that's the terminology you prefer), that's going to have the same regressive tax effects.

However, a VAT ain't the only way...

> No need for narratives about landlords raising rent, though it is possible.

Not if the UBI is instead funded by taxing the unimproved value of land - a.k.a. a land value tax, or LVT. We Georgists tend to call that a "citizen's dividend", but it's just a special case of UBI: a basic income intended to compensate citizens for occupying less than their equal share of land value within a given jurisdiction. There are a lot of implications of this (I could go on and on about the economic efficiency and ethical justifications), but relevant to this conversation is that the lack of deadweight loss means replacing other taxes with LVT would if anything reduce the consumer-facing cost of goods by reducing the effective tax burden of those producing said goods.

> Anything that is outsourceable is now more appealing to outsource than before.

That has already happened, without UBI. UBI is if anything necessary because of outsourcing - again, because we don't need local people doing those particular low level jobs, because they're now being done overseas.

UBI also might even help correct outsourcing; it's a lot easier to start a business if you know that if it fails (like most businesses do) you won't be homeless and starving as a result, and that's exactly the sort of safety net that UBI enables.
If the intellect and judgment of mankind ought to be cultivated, a thing
which Protestants at least do not deny, on what can these faculties be
more appropriately exercised by any one, than on the things which
concern him so much that it is considered necessary for him to hold
opinions on them?

- John Stuart Mill, On Liberty (1859)

Perhaps the cause of this problem is refusing society the opportunity to exercise their critical thinking skills.

No matter, we can just spoonfeed everyone the received and accepted wisdom. Then there will be no need for any faculties of discernment.

The Catholic Church has its own way of dealing with this
embarrassing problem. It makes a broad separation between those who can
be permitted to receive its doctrines on conviction, and those who must
accept them on trust.

People can already use websites to create simple websites but that hasn't really displaced web developers because our needs keep changing. But it has definitely help people bring their businesses to market much easier. You don't need a whole lot of IT knowledge anymore to start an online clothing business. But that definitely means jobs have been displaced, though in reality, they tend to move rather than simply disappear.

Being an artist isn't really being able to draw well, it is able to do a lot more than that in harmony, and so I believe these tools will just get incorporated and some new artists will appear and older artists will adapt.

My only worry with this, and it's not something that I see being pointed out too much. Is that due to these models being able to produce art from previous art they've seen we might find it difficult to come up with new novel styles. But then again, this might precisely be a new kind of avenue for human artist expression.

I dont think that comparison is universally applicable. I wouldnt rule out that this is a lot more similar to a Math Prof telling you that the p-values in for example your psychology paper are nonsense and correcting you.

edit: Not saying studying Math qualifies you to design and run studies in Psychology. But once you break down tasks enough you will often find them to be the area of expertise of another discipline. Often its very easy to tell when the Professor that taught you something in university is from another department.
