The whole approach of a language model makes it hard for it to understand mathematical operations. It generates probabalistically the next text segment that it thinks "fits". That approach does not work for mathematics and "learning" mathematical operations seems to be out if scope for language models, but that is somewhat of an inherent problem.
This has been taken care of. Thanks for pointing it out!
This all seems really cool, but right now I'm just dreading when some site inevitably start forcing you to use it out of some misplaced desire to protect the user from themselves.

It's my account, it should be my choice whether to make the security/convenience tradeoff. Sometimes I just want to use a plain password, stick it in my web browser, and forget about it.
> Literally nobody ever celebrated having to write 3 lines to return error.

On Hackernews many people say that they like it and it's easy to understand. Maybe celebrate is a bit exaggerated, but I would say Golang is celebrated and the simpleness of errorhandling is often mentioned, so I can see where OP comes from.
I’m not sure I agree.

Perhaps it’s an issue with the definition of “shadowban”, but I understood it to mean “you tweet, but no one sees”. Letting a user know that their account is in this state for this_reason actually seems like an improvement to me, not an oxymoron.

Google Password Manager, and the Apple equivalent, backup the passkeys for you. How they do this is fairly complicated. https://security.googleblog.com/2022/10/SecurityofPasskeysin...

You don’t have control of your keys exactly, but Google can’t see your keys either and you can survive device theft/failure and transfer to a new device. So it’s pretty good in my opinion.
Good idea. I will give it a try.

A tiny bit of Googling gives https://www.rd.com/article/public-toilet-seat-u-shape/ gives:

> This is an open-front toilet seat, and thanks to the American Standard National Plumbing Code, it’s the go-to for most public restrooms. This code was created in 1955 and further cemented by the Uniform Plumbing Code in 1973 by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO).

You can follow the links in the article I linked, or do a bit more Googling.

It's not a single uniform law, but a code that then got (and gets) adopted by lots of localities using different legal mechanisms. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Plumbing_Code
I think the type I/II thinking does make sense. I tried the classic baseball bat riddle, which is a great riddle because type I thinking fails: A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? GPT chat answered: The bat costs $1.00 + $0.10 = $<<1.00+0.10=1.10>>1.10. The ball costs $1.10 - $1.00 = $<<1.10-1.00=0.10>>0.10. Answer: \boxed{0.10}.

I agree; I think it's better to just enact some sensible regulation. A carbon tax isn't going to magically produce more carbon-free energy (solar/wind/nuclear); only regulation can improve that situation.

The existence of the b2 was always acknowledged from early in its development, just like the b21 was. The primary purpose for strategic bombers like the b21 and the b2 is deterrence, and deterrence doesn’t really work if it isn’t known about.
The f117 on the other hand was a tactical aircraft that was built in anticipation of a sudden need to precisely strike a very specific target no matter how well defended. For that purpose it needed to remain unacknowledged. It was also the first stealth aircraft and presented a larger leap from existing aircraft than the b-2 did at the time.
That sounds great. Buying tickets now.

This is analogous to Singapore, with a huge army of workers resident in Malaysia crossing over every day, and most returning every night. Hong Kong is somewhat similar but less so: there is enough cheap housing for a significant proportion of the cheaper labour (below millionaire class) to live in the economies boundaries.

The article does make it clear that Monegasques have significant state support for housing but that's on the assumption they aren't millionaires. The mobile workforce from outside is presumably given one of two "perks" -lower taxation outcomes (although I suspect there is some bilateral tax treaty) for at least income tax, and higher pay than they'd get working in their domicile.

I'm trying to steer clear of approval or disapproval writing this. I can't imagine making either of the two choices: to be a tax exile living there but with no statehood, or to be a mobile worker working there but having to return to an EU economy every night. The third option, being Monegasque is not open to me any more than Maltese citizenship, which is also much sought, and hard to get although not as hard as this one.

A surprising number of british working class people have Maltese citizenship, similarly Gibraltarian: thats what the british Navy does for you. I wonder if in millionaires row their advice for non-dom includes "marry a maltese"
It's remarkably tragic how modern computer security regimes favor authoritarian centralized control so absolutely over allowing any flexibility or user choice or say.

Chrome gets free marketing, and tons of google money. Opera could not have competed with that. Opera only went free after they did the same deal with Google that firefox had. Otherwise, it's quite an achievement that it was able to exist in a world where it was a paid browser for such a long time.
The paper doesn’t seem to show perplexity for completions of a large dataset, i.e. the standard benchmark of language models. It shows benefits for specialized tasks, but as I said, specialized task training isn’t the goal. It’s always possible to outperform a general model by choosing a sufficiently specialized task.

I don’t know why people feel so strongly that the tokenization is a weakness, but ultimately there’s not much choice but to agree to disagree.
True. Still nothing about banning or shadow banning though, or even needing to tell users they do so.
If I don't control my keys, they are not my keys. It seems more limiting and worse in practice than what it's supposed to be improving on. Google already encrypts my password in password manager, it already can't see my password and can't generate my 2 factor. Being fairly complicated is not a good excuse to let Google manage the keys for me.
> Apple cares about making a browser that renders web pages just adequately enough to be acceptable

I think this is biased. It's closer to "Apple cares about rendering currently existing web pages superbly" while "Google also cares about rendering future web pages".

Once upon a time, V8 won benchmarks and ran demos faster but JavaScriptCore rendered the web faster. This was mainly due to JavaScriptCore having an optimized interpreter and V8 lacking one, and actually existing web at the time didn't execute JavaScript long enough on average to compensate for JIT overhead.
What does make people always think that the two things don't go together?

In Scala I use Exceptions, but I don't throw them, I use monadic composition style. So I end up with clean code AND a stacktrace, just as if I had thrown them. Sometimes I wrap them for even easier debugging, e.g.

for {
user <- getUser
message <- getMessage
} yield showMessage(message, user)

And then when I call this function I do

renderMessage(x).mapError(e => RenderMessageError(message = x, cause = e))

Which, in case of an error, gives me a typical jvm stacktrace

Exception in thread "main" com.myproject.module.MyProjectFooBarException: Message x could not be rendered

> It’s included by reference as part of the universal plumbing code. There isn’t a “toilet seat act of 1927” or something.

Yes. But that standard is being enforced by laws (and perhaps other legal mechanisms) in many places in the US. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Plumbing_Code

But when they do eventually figure it out, they end up hoping from one newly created account to another. Unless using new accounts are prohibitively expensive, and they usually aren't, then you'll end up just replacing one problem with another.

The correct way to moderate is to be civil and treat "low quality" users as human beings. Reserve inhuman bans for inhuman users (bots).
> Colloquially, I think many information suppression tactics get lumped under the term "shadow-ban" and that your definition is very narrow. It reinforces your position so I understand why you're defining it as such but it's not very convincing to anyone who doesn't share your position. Of course, that's assuming you're genuinely interested in persuasion instead of yelling into the echo chamber.

Reasonable criticism. I suppose Twitter representatives have probably used this same definition to squirm out from questioning before, and it's not a great look. Although siblings comment are pointing out that Twitter did define it as identical to what I'm saying in a blog post; so at least they are consistent in what they were saying pre-Musk.

On the persuasion front – I'll give it a try!

I think the reason that Twitter hid behind the narrower definition of a shadow ban is to avoid saying the harder-to-stomach truth that "information suppression tactics", as you put them, are essential to content moderation. Think about this – is HN's (supposed) voting ring detector an "information suppression tactic"? Is flagging posts? Why is Bari Weiss not posting breathless stories about them? I think the only difference is that zero people in Weiss's circle use this orange web site. I would love to be convinced otherwise, though.

> All around us are these huge, easy-to-abuse, global influence platforms with cozy backchannels to the most powerful bureaucratic state (US govt) that we've ever seen. And yet many comments I've seen so far are along the lines of, "No worries, this stuff happens all the time and is totally normal and okay. Move along now!" I would have expected more skepticism, cynicism and backlash from this crowd. Am I wrong?

No, but I think we had our moment of outrage around widespread surveillance by the US government in 2013 and the years after it. Also, almost none of Weiss's or Taibbi's breathless revelations are about intervention by the US government – a few are about the Democratic Party and most are about Twitter itself. The only response that I see by a sitting Government official anywhere is to suggest that the Twitter ban on a story is against the 1st Amendment [1].

I think where you might be getting confused is you are assuming the new feature is some syntax they'll just automatically start using in the new compiler immediately. Typically you wait till the compiler you added that new feature to is released, then you can consider how you would refactor your compiler code, and then it should compile since you already have your new syntactic sugar or whatever.

I hope that makes more sense to you. I think what Walter Bright answered was good too, but I think it helps to remind oneself, that just because your new compiler code implements something new, doesnt mean you have to use it the second you want to compile it, so it wont matter until the new compiler is ready, then you consider adding new syntax or features to compiler code base.

> What's my basic authentication method to a site or system I can write down, backup, export or memorize?

There isn't one. This is by design. Logging into your bank or email provider will in the future require mobile device shenanigans that are either proprietary or so complex and opaque that you have no chance of "controlling" anything, or even really understanding what's actually going on.

The main lobby driving this forward consists of Google, Apple, and Microsoft. This should tell you all you need to know.
While the shift toward mobile means a lot of things are released as apps these days, I'd argue that desktop continues to be exciting. Two things that come to mind from this year are:

- Stable Diffusion

- Unreal Engine 5 (in particular, the Matrix demo).
Do you use SSH keys?

This is SSH keys for signing into websites.

Which, yes, means you need at least one device in your possession containing your private keys.

1Password has already announced support for storing and syncing passkeys. Apple and Google also allow you to sync them via your account.

Nothing ties it specifically to your phone compared to any of your other devices or an online account/vault that you store your keys in.
Not at all hard to imagine why the US stopped humoring a manic weirdo playing spy — complete with secret codenames and passphrases — and larping as a revolutionary provisional government once he started attacking embassies.
I have used Tamagui on a couple of POCs and demos, and can assure you this will 10x your results if you plan to support Mobile and Web. The design system is crisp and clean. Tamagui is a game-changing tool for universal app development. It consists of three components: Core, Static, and Tamagui.

Core is a lightweight style and design system library for React Native and Web. It offers features like themes, responsive styles, and styled() with variants.

Static is an optimizing compiler for both static and inline styles. It uses techniques like partial evaluation and tree flattening to improve performance. It also offers plugins for popular tools like Next, Webpack, Vite, and Metro.

Tamagui is a complete suite of UI components built using Core. It offers composable component APIs, size variance, and incredible themes that are optimized for different platforms.

Together, these three components make Tamagui a powerful tool for building universal apps that are fast, scalable, and easy to maintain. By using Tamagui, developers can focus on creating great user experiences without worrying about the underlying technical details.
> what was the strap thing?

The instructor in that video was poking fun of the other instructor (who will show up in the next video) because he has a gut, and the stick in the rear cockpit hits his gut. So there's a "bungee" strap to hold the stick forward when you're getting in and out. But at the end of the video, the stick ends up hitting the first instructor's gut, so I poked fun of him at the end.

> Any reason to do IFR before aerobatics?

Nah, the order doesn't matter.

> how tall are you, if I may ask? That cockpit is cramped.

I'm 6'2 or about 187 cm, but I've had passengers up to 6'6 in the rear cockpit. Size usually isn't a problem. And it's less cramped than some MiG cockpits I've seen.

It's not useless.

If the threat is that unloading a position will cause a dip in shareholder value of $X, but those actually in control believe their own thesis and operating model is worth more than $X, then they can choose to weather the storm, believing their way will negate the loss of $X.

It just seems like a normal newsgroup archive. Any alt-right content is... because that's what gets posted on most of the newsgroups now? Ask yourself, "who is really still using newsgroups?"
I agree that colloquially it's definition can be looser depending on context, but it's in bad faith that Weiss[0] quotes Twitter's then Head of Policy and Trust as saying Twitter doesn't shadow ban people when in the very blog post[1] she's quoting they clearly define shadow banning as, "deliberately making someone’s content undiscoverable to everyone except the person who posted it, unbeknownst to the original poster."

It's your definition that is misunderstood, not the oxymoron.

> Shadow banning, also called stealth banning, hellbanning, ghost banning or comment ghosting, is the practice of blocking or partially blocking a user or the user's content from some areas of an online community in such a way that the ban is not readily apparent to the user

Reminds me how certain governments redefined mass surveillance then denied it.
Nothing about passkeys needs to be tied to Google. You can use other password managers, and it seems like the major players are all supporting the same standard.

For example you can use 1Password: https://www.future.1password.com/passkeys/

If they can do it, other password managers both cloud and local should be able to do this as well.
I'm in the process of migrating to a new phone. My old phone had an eSIM that was tied to some 2FA (not by choice, and it couldn't be changed, because security), and my temp phone doesn't support an eSIM, so until the new one arrives I can't access some services. You don't even need to lose anything to be locked out.
It's also grandfathered in, independent of the many other ways in which it's not equivalent.
> save newspapers

I don't think newspapers (here standing for media organizations in general) need saving. Newspapers have great influence, and they will be funded for that. Let's say, ads go to zero and all newspapers are bankrupt, except BBC, NHK, NPR, and Al Jazeera. Is that a problem? I don't see a problem.
What would you define as responsible vs. Irresponsible?
Twitter used a similar definition to GP of shadow-bans previously, when it became clear that some accounts might not show up in search results:

> often needs to be optimized for scale or refactored for reusability

It's so easy to make subtle assumptions when you redo their code that completely invalidates the work they've done. ML completely collapses on extremely small errors. Handing something off to someone else to refactor is a dangerous step in the process that risks everyone wasting their time
It's kinda ridiculous that 'bad tweets' are hidden so nobody is any the wiser unless they screenshotted it in time. I think it would be better if they were given a frame or put in a different color with a tag like 'user was banned for this tweet.'
What a lovely username you got.

It's incompatible to compare 1 institution that is as broad and govern by different bodies of rules, regulations and laws in contrast with another institution that is whole private and is mostly run as a decentralized club.

Especially when a teacher is not arbitrary put into the position, which is why people and the media is more pissed with religious institutions rather than individual teachers.
Why does it need a phone? It's like SSH keys, you just need access to your keys from where you are logging in.

They give the example of using your phone because that's a convenient portable key vault you may have with you. But if you want to keep your keys just on a desktop or in some other password manager that integrates with the browser I don't see any barrier to that. 1Password for example has already announced passkey support.
Why would you touch the underside of the lid to raise the it? You can't even reach the underside properly before you've opened the lid.

In any case, just use a piece of toilet paper to touch the lid, if you are concerned.
