The legal system is who effing cares, in this instance. There are different mechanisms and agencies that deal with terrorist vs premeditated-but-non-political-in-objective acts.

I think a lot of the desire for specificity in terminology that you’re seeing demanded is stemming from a desire for people to see organizations step in that truly have the resources, investigative experience, and political will to accomplish progress in this arena — for example certain offices of the FBI.

- being ignored

- getting speech in return

How about you try reading about the subject first, or asking people who've thought it through far longer than the the arrogant instant you spent on it, and then it will save us all from having to endure your blurting out basic mental errors which you use in pursuit of an authoritarianism that you erroneously think will lead somewhere different than the authoritarianism you claim it counters.

The author of this blog has been the head of PM at Asana for nearly 9 years, during which they've completely failed to come up with a sustainable product strategy and have been bleeding money for years.

"... the world would be a better place if people spend less time on failed projects and more time working on things that make a difference."

Asana was founded in 2008. It seems destined to fail, and will have largely wasted a large number of people's time, and seems very unlikely to be a "thing that ma[de] a difference".

https://world.hey.com/dhh/the-bubble-has-popped-for-unprofit...

"Asana lost an incredible $285m in 2021, $210m in 2020, and $118m in 2019. They're on track to losing even more with over $370m in losses booked for the trailing twelve months. That's closing in on a billion dollars in losses over the last four years. Madness."

A lot of this is because it rains so often if you didn’t get used to it you’d never do anything.

Same with golf, most golfers in UK and Ireland will have extensive rain gear, umbrellas etc to play golf otherwise they’d be limited to like 4 weeks a year.

When I lived there I had that gear too but when i lived in Texas I just didn’t play when it rained as I knew a sunny day was around the corner, year round.

I'd say that's certainly part of it. Even just escaping the hordes to stand out in a new place/way would be important to people. Think about how strongly teenagers define themselves with clothing and music to carve out a niche.

Beyond that, I think social networks are heavily reliant on active creators. If those people feel like minnows amongst the masses and grandmas, they're more likely to strike out in new territory whether it's a fresh network or mode of creating. Become a bigger fish in a smaller pond. Which leaves behind less-active users or people who've found reward/profit on the previous platform, making that platform start to feel more like TV than a mingling, social space.

I didn't get that from the show at all. There aren't many fundamental 'truth's in this realm, afaict, and I don't recall him debating things like carbon dating. Instead, there are theories with varying amounts of archaeological evidence to support them. Does he display every bit of evidence people have discovered? Obviously not, but over time, everyone's theories on ancient civilization will change.

There shouldn't be anything negative/isolating for people if they choose to entertain different theories about the past, and it's sad that people would ostracize someone for that. The world is a richer place because of it imho- this is largely a realm of fantasy, imagining life in the past, trying to infer the ancient's motivations/capabilities from scraps of long-lost cultures.

Prompt: Imagine a set of 3 events (A, red and Q) ordered with unique timestamps each. Event A is the first of all events to happen. Event Q is in between the other two. What is a valid bound for Event red's timestamp?

ChatGPT: Since we are given that Event A happened first and that Event Q occurred in between Events A and red, a valid bound for the timestamp of Event red would be that it must have occurred after Event A and before Event Q. So, the valid bound for the timestamp of Event red would be the time range between the timestamp of Event A and the timestamp of Event Q.

---

I don't think event names matter at all here, it just trips up on some logical constructs.

---

EDIT: here's some reasoning!

Me: So the timestamp for Event Red must be after both the timestamp of Event A and the timestamp of Event Q. How can it be between the timestamps of Events A and Q?

ChatGPT: The timestamp for Event Red must be after the timestamp of Event A and after the timestamp of Event Q, but it does not necessarily have to be after both of them at the same time. The timestamp for Event Red can be between the timestamps of Events A and Q, as long as it is after the timestamp of Event A and before the timestamp of Event Q. This is because the timestamps for Events A and Q represent the time at which those events happened, and the timestamp for Event Red must be after the time at which Event A happened and before the time at which Event Q happened.

Their argument is: 28 years ago, Graham wrote a book about this theory (Fingerprints of the Gods) where he used the language "ancient white civilization". Why precisely he used this language may require deeper research, but it was at-least in part because Quetzalcoatl was described in Aztec literature as being white (to my knowledge this is not controversial), and Graham believes that the Quetzalcoatl story isn't a myth or legend, but rather a spoken-word memory of a visitor from this more-ancient civilization.

Part of his theory (which is well explained in the show) is that there are a handful of ancient cultures like the Aztecs who have stories of an "enlightened visitor" like Quetzalcoatl, bringing the knowledge necessary to elevate their cultures into organized society. In other words: these ancient cultures, who are mostly non-white, were "saved" by an ancient white civilization.

Having followed him loosely since then: he does not use this language anymore; certainly not in Ancient Apocalypse.

If, upon reading that, your conclusion is "mainstream academia may actually be out to get him": you're beginning to understand why people like Dr. Hoopes [1] just need to shut up, go outside, and find more actual evidence to disprove him. Slinging insults like that only adds credence to his statement that mainstream academia is out to get him, which by proximity adds credence to the rest of his theories. But, what he would say is: mainstream archaeology is a lot better at insulting and talking than they are at digging; and independent of his theories, there's substantial evidence to conclude this to be true.

You're very presumptuous. I'm not a salesman. I am a career record producer and mixer.

The Yamaha HS series are not the same speakers as the NS-10. While many working professionals will still use NS10's I have yet to see a single world-class mixer choosing to use an HS8. Even then, NS10's are not the be-all end-all of speakers. The appeal of NS10's is that they sound terrible and if your mix can translate on them then you're heading in the right direction. Professionals will still get a second opinion on far-nicer studio monitors, because NS10s will not reveal everything.

Best-selling does not equal good. HS8's are entry-level speakers. It is no surprise that an entry level product would be the best-selling. A Big Mac might be a best-selling cheeseburger, but nobody with any experience eating cheeseburgers would suggest that it's the best at anything beyond being profitable or affordably produced.

When it comes to actual quality, resolution, transient-response, lack of distortion and sonic reproduction Yamaha HS8's are nowhere near being the best studio monitors. Not even close.

There are a lot of speakers that we could debate over being excellent, but in no conversation with working professionals will HS8's ever come up and withstand scrutiny. They're poor speakers for anyone who gives a damn about making records.

They do a job and they do it for cheap, but they don't do it well.

The order of magnitude is implausible.

Nervous system manipulation via magnetic field has been demonstrated to work - using field strengths of 6+ Tesla from an electromagnet that is physically touching shaved skin close to the targeted region of the brain.

Getting a signal through the 30-60cm gap between monitor and user - when field strength drops off by the cube of distance - from a 60w monitor (most of which is going to luminescent output) - is not merely implausible, it's a bad joke.
It is petty if it specifically avoids mention of any of the evidence, and instead invents groundless personal accusations.

I'd say it becomes a question of ethics and intent.

Are you "experimenting" with AI on human subjects? I think it's fairly well established that it's not considered ethical to experiment on someone without their knowledge or consent.

Perhaps you have some disability or impairment and you're augmenting what would be your own response with the help of AI. You're probably proof-reading the response and you're happy that the response represents or closely represents your views. In that case, perhaps a disclosure is not warranted. You might instead put a note in your profile, but I would say it's not strictly needed if you're willing to accept that the comment you posted represents what you truly wanted to say.

Is your service essentially a bot? I'd say that should be disclosed.

Do you think people would respond or feel differently if they knew your response was generated by AI? eg. I might upvote a well-intentioned reply even if I don't agree with all points made, as I think the person has made a considered response to my comments. If someone simply fed my comments into an AI and posted the reply, then I don't think they're really adding value and I'd rather they not reply. If I wanted to talk to an AI, I'd skip the middle man.

It doesn't have any logic, it's just prediction based on statistics.
There is so many examples already floating around that it has no logic but I will give you really simple one from my experiments:

I told it to:

> curl somedomain.ext

It replied with curl error that this hostname doesn't exists.

Then I told it to:

> curl https://somedomain.ext

And it replied with some random http response showing that this hostname exists.

There is no logic here.
Care to post an example showing that?

> Sure it can write a fibonacci function in Javascript, but so can I and I can write software I wasn't preprogrammed to do, and solve issues I have never encountered before

Sure, but how much programming is truly original? Unless a company is working on some novel research topic, most programming is either a regurgitation of the same solutions ("we're the X of Y"), a glue that binds several solutions, or a friendlier interface to an existing solution. In all those scenarios it will be much cheaper and faster to get an AI to build it, than to hire a human team. Or at the very least, instead of hiring a large team, a smaller team of 1 or 2 humans could serve as code reviewers for the AI.

So I think this advancement is an existential threat to a large sector of our industry.

And the shift will happen much earlier than some people in this thread think. If not this generation of GPT-3, then one or two generations after that. A couple of years? It certainly won't require AGI.

A while back I used these kinds of characters to encode programs into invisible text: https://www.thelisowe.com/sleeper-cell-a-method-of-embedding...

It doesn't do much on its own. I feel like it could, but the most effective use case I've come up with it you can invisibly plant a piece of code in some piece of text, then later on run another script that looks for that piece of code and runs it. I'm guessing that splitting the code up like this would make it harder to detect (not to mention that this code could even reside in other programs' comments undetected).
We must be about the same age. I adored Tom Baker Doctor Who, Goodies, Monkey, Blake's 7. Also loved: Kenny Everett Video Show, The Curiosity Show.

A friend who lived in Newcastle went to the corner store to buy rubber bands while watching The Curiosity Show. The bewildered shopkeeper asked why so many kids were coming to buy rubber bands at that moment. What a heart-warming story, I never knew if anyone else watched it.
