> This comment is full of false equivalences. In fact, it contains only false equivalences.

Please demonstrate any false equivalence that I employed and demonstrate how my reasoning is flawed in claiming equivalence. Using wiki for Wikipedia, specifically because Wikipedia is a wiki, is the same kind of substitution as using plane for Boeing 737, because examples like these replace the specific with the general, which is incredibly common.

> What you just wrote is a decent argument against anyone taking issue with someone saying "the wiki" or even "my/our wiki" where it makes sense to. With respect to the topic at hand, however, that makes it a total strawman, because no one is taking issue with those things. Shortening "Wikipedia" to "wiki" is nothing like exercising the grammar of the English language to construct ordinary sentences involving "the bus" or "my truck".

Whether a definite or indefinite article is used makes no difference here, they merely indicate whether identity is known, and when missing they are assumed: "(the) wiki is not a proper citation." In English, we often use the general group in which the object belongs to replace the object, such as "vehicle" for "truck," and "truck" for "Ford," or "Internet" for "website" and "website" for "reddit." I have not, in fact, invented any argument to attack, which is necessary for a straw man.

> Please don't make bad faith arguments like this. It stands out especially when it comes from someone who's first remarks were an objection to the Java/JS example on the grounds of category error.

Here is your straw man. I have not made any bad faith arguments, so you've invented one to attack instead.

> Shortening "Wikipedia" to "wiki" would be like shortening "Burger King" to "burger".* It shouldn't be done, and it shouldn't be controversial to bring it up. It was a polite request, after all. or if that example bothers you, shortening "Taco Shack" to "shack", to use an example that will withstand any criticism that Burger King is not a burger,

Burger King is not a burger and Taco Shack is not a shack. You are suggesting that wiki is an abbreviation of Wikipedia, but because Wikipedia is a wiki your argument fails. And because these types of substitutions are common, the request was unreasonable.
Being able to point the finger of blame at someone will be of absolutely no consolation to the billions of people killed in an all-out nuclear war.

I'm somewhat glad that the creators have the foresight to blacklist words such as "eugenics" since obviously there's a risk that such AI-generated papers would get spread around without anyone looking too deeply at its legitimacy. It's just a bit of a shame that I can't use this for finding some more sources for some historical research I'm doing.

"Prove the Riemann hypothesis" was an unsurprising failure. However, disappointingly the language model didn't even attempt a proof at all, instead just doing a disambiguation type page of what it could refer to. Same goes for asking for a few other proofs. It does seem to "know" several algorithm runtimes, but asking "What is the runtime of the clique problem solving algorithm" gives O(n^2) which would be big if true.

Asking the algorithm "Who invented the TeX system" gives the correct answer of Don Knuth, though asking "Who invented the freeze ray" gives Nikola Tesla for some reason.

Finally, a few gene related questions caused it to fail. Asking for "What genes are involved in mechanosensing in T cells" gives a number of CD* genes, many not expressed in T cells (I hazard here that what's happening is the algorithm is just entering something of a loop state like a few other language models I've seen, where it fails to terminate since the previous few words are similar enough for it to just continue the sequence). Asking "What genes are involved in mechanosensing" is simply answered with "Yes".

This can certainly be cronyism where an exec brings along an entourage of sycophants to build their own empire on the company's dime.

It can also be a team selected from their broader network of known/proven professionals. People who they already know can work together and produce results.

To steelman this tactic a bit. Put yourself in a new exec's position. You were brought in with specific goals to achieve, and a tight timeframe to show performance. At that level there are no second chances, and no excuses. You've been working long enough to know a number of people who can execute. It will be months before you know what the current team can/can't do, and hiring unknown people is always a dice roll. Early team changes are expected. Conversely if you wait months sifting resumes and building up the existing team, the opportunity to make significant changes will gradually evaporate.

What would you do? Wait and see? Or put a team together of only the top 5% people from all the places you've worked previously?
Exactly.

This is why it is dumb when people say "The odds against life arising at random is astronomical."

It did happen, therefore, the convoluted path to life wasn't what the skeptic speaker thinks it was.

Multiple-endpoints fallacy and overly anthropomorphizing reality also makes a fool out of the Drake Equation, and the idea of "The Great Filter" is dumb too.
Or it is an act of civil service.

Driving with an obscured license plate is illegal and could get someone in real trouble. Obviously nobody would want to intentionally break that law. By removing such an unintentional obstruction they are doing the owner of the vehicle a favor - provided it doesn't damage the car itself, of course.

Similarly, if you see someone throwing trash out of their car, picking it up and depositing it in a trash can does not count as theft. Removing a third-party sticker from a traffic sign does not count as damaging it.

Can someone please explain this one? A bit oddly phrased for my inglés.
My experience having used both Twitter and Mastodon is exact opposite. Mastodon tends to foster more personal interactions and collaboration precisely because instances are smaller and focus on specific topics.

If you're an artist then you can join an art instance and connect with other artists. If you're interested in functional programming then you join a functional programming instance, and so on.

You're still able to interact with the rest of the Fediverse, but you have a focused community on your server instance.

>In the fediverse, this risk is a 100 times bigger.

I can guarantee you that Mastodon will outlive every commercial social media platform in existence today.
> I'm surprised there isn't much discussion here about the similar capability announced by SpaceX and T-Mobile

Because the Starlink satellites in question don't exist yet, and it's Elon Musk making claims about existing handsets working -- he has a spotty record when it comes to making accurate announcements.

I enthusiastically look forward to more capability in this space. But I doubt very much that Apple is introducing limitations unnecessarily. Claiming that existing cell phones will be able to reach up to a satellite, even in LEO, is such a large claim that it needs someone more trustworthy than Elon Musk to explain how it works.
I’ve definitely had a better time with maintaining my collection of digital books through more than one move to different countries. I’ve kept three or four of my most cherished books, but my digital collection are independent of location.

I’ve always made a habit of trying to get digital copies of any book that I’ve felt was worth buying. DRM is a completely different story, giving books a shelf life which is limited to the lifespan of the retailer and often less.

> It really sucked.

Huh, I have a number of books that have been in my family for a long time, reading them is awesome. I never got to meet my grandfather, so reading the same copy of Huck Finn he did, or referencing the same dictionary he used is about as close as I can come.

That said my dad's collection of fiction ebooks will carry a lot of the same value, if only because there is _so much_ fiction out there.
You sure ask a lot of questions, are you expecting answers to all of them?

Look, there's no mind-reading involved. What I am saying is that covering your license plate is clearly not the same as (for example) using your phone while driving - which clearly does casually related to traffic collisions.

You are correct that someone who covers their plates might feel free to take more risks, but it could just as well be that this person would be a terrible driver regardless.
I really don't understand how NYTimes, Vox, Vice are all seemingly refusing to accurately tear down how evil Sam and associates were for screwing over so many people.

The NYTimes was quick to destroy owners of other exchanges (whom I also do not view favorably) but is mysteriously lenient, deflecting criticism, outright censoring themselves.

How does this happen? Just what is the relationship with these media outlets, Sam?

The party mantra from the Democrats and their supporting media outlets seem to be to remove Sam as much as possible and downplay the role he played in causing havoc.

Already a handful of people have committed suicide as a result of this FTX fiasco, Sequoia, WEF, have all deleted their praising words for Sam and playing dumb.

I have this feeling that something is going to break. It's going to get really ugly for this country and other entities will fully utilize the chaos to seize whatever they can.

I'm a big fan of ghost (especially for anyone into self-hosting!), but the lack of a free plan makes it harder to use as my default recommendation. (Also the lack of single opt-in signup is a deal breaker for me personally, though I understand many people don't care/prefer double opt-in anyway.)

I think https://beehiiv.com is another good alternative, though the styling isn't as nice as on ghost, and I personally found the editor to be glitchy and infuriating to use. Maybe it's just a problem on Firefox. I'd probably use that as my own recommendation for anyone looking for a newsletter platform and cross my fingers that they have better luck with the editor :).

Depends on the site; if they coded it correctly and met accessibility guidelines [1], it would support text sizing of 200% or more. Given the state of CSS today, it’s not difficult to make the text wrap within the viewpoint even at bigger sizes so you wouldn’t have to scroll.

When I did consulting landing gigs was mainly based on knowing tools others didn't. From frameworks to speedup the project to knowing of existing software that filled their need that others simply didn't know about.

Tech wise one of the biggest drawbacks to no longer living in the Bay Area is that lack of exposure to what most consider the unimportant stuff. I used to go to all kinds of meetup style events and learned as much just from watching people work and seeing the tools they used and ways they used them I never thought of versus the main point of the meetup. That almost made the drive over 17 worth it.

Better advertising would have killed that niche for me, instead it was left to the unaffordability of healthcare when you are self insured at have a family to do me in.

Not really. The paper's acidic, which means that the paper degrades to the point of not being usable without a huge amount of intervention. I have trade paperbacks which are under 20 years old whose paper are downright brittle.

Tangentially... Why do we call people who buy stock on the secondary market "investors?" To me, the investors are the ones who gave the money to the INVESTMENT, i.e., Google in the present case. Everyone else who buys the stock from these investors are not investors, but speculators or some other word. The company already has the money, and gets nothing (beyond possibly a vote) from these people.
Yes agreed. I wonder why they were not included in the study.

I consider my extensive library of physical books ‘nuclear powered reading devices’ - with that mindset they are actually very lightweight. The occasional move was always a great workout and the motivation to find a permanent home and build it out as a dynastic seat for the family and a bunker for civilization quite motivating.
Electronic reading materials on the other hand are the … great for immediate and temporary research.
The funny thing is that I found a DRM-free copy of the book you mentioned on the internet in less than a minute. PDF or ePub, your pick; probably converted from the same source.

Whatever these publishers are trying to do, they're only hurting their honest customers. It's trivial to find popular eBooks online regardless of library licenses and DRM usage yet honest people's lives are made so incredibly difficult for no good reason.

> Libraries are getting shafted - humanity at large is not.

Libraries are how humanity at large preserves documents! Sure, I might have a wonderful collection of books on my hard drive, but other than me (and whoever knows about my torrents), nobody's benefiting from that; whereas everyone with a local library knows (at least, in theory) that they can find information there.

When I kick the bucket, what happens to my hard drive? If somebody knew about it and cared enough, they might subsume its contents into their collection; and then the information would be safe for another… few decades? To quote Randall Munroe (https://xkcd.com/1909/ title text):
