That early episode is essentially the origin of "a show about nothing." When describing their idea for "Jerry" to the NBC execs, George uses that incident as an example. Summarizing: One of the episodes will just be four of them waiting for a table at a restaurant. Why would people watch that? Because it's on TV! Not yet...

It's very meta because of course when you say it out loud it does sound horribly boring just like the NBC guy says. But the Seinfeld audience is aware that the Seinfeld characters (now the ones writing a sitcom about their personal experiences) actually experienced this situation, and to the Seinfeld audience, it was actually a very funny episode, therefore realizing that the Jerry audience would also find it funny.
'a different world now', implying a more dangerous one than when these parents and police officers were kids. That's objectively false in the US; despite a modest increase in crime over the past five or so years, crime is much lower than 30-40 years ago. I am frustrated that a great many people seem to believe otherwise.
Pistol license applications explicitly state that you have to include expunged records. Also, what expunged actually means (or if it's available at all) depends on the state. If you wanted to work for the government, get certain clearances, etc it would also come up on background checks. So it's totally unfair that innocent people like this have it attached to their name.
Pretty sure they use speakers because they are mastering primarily for speaker setups. Not because it increases the accuracy of location information encoded in the sound.
They've also got an updated (reverse engineered?) HLDS DLL too. reHLDS I believe is what it's called. Been meaning to check what benefits/cons it brings for my own server.
It can get rid of checks that test whether the results of a previous operation have overflowed. It can't eliminate checks that test whether a subsequent operation will overflow and abort because that would be changing semantics.

> The Philippines lack a vision or a dream or something

I too am a tourist to the Philippines, but I saw the world through my Father (Manila) and Mother (Iloilo).

Manila is gritty, pessimistic, but practical and pragmatic. Iloilo is the dreamers, the hypemen, "too the moon".

I'd say Iloilo is where I'd want to visit as a tourist. But Manila is probably where I'd choose to live, if I were to go to the Philippines. While I appreciate the go-getter culture of Iloilo, I imagine it'd get tiring.

---------------

> - Everyone had SUVs and cars from TV series, as cycling and public transit aren't that developed.

But I was able to ride around Jeepneys to get to-and-from where I needed to go in Manila. Maybe it was because I was a tourist with extra time on my hands, but I didn't mind it too much.

Transit infrastructure was bad compared to USA of course. But the transit I did see was huge trucks, huge cargo vessels, and other such large-scale industrial transit. Things are happening in Manila for sure, and it seems like the city has its priorities straight with regards to what makes money.

----------------

I don't know if I'd call labor poorly allocated as much as its the nature of extremely-rich and extremely-poor living together in the same city. Its a difficult problem, and I don't think the nature of neighborhood level "Barangay" government units helps with that. But it does seem like people know "who is in charge" of each area.

Iloilo errs on the other side of things. My entire Mom's side is speculating on various investments everywhere. Guimaras Island is getting a bridge ya know? And its the hot topic on how exactly to "play" the bridge and make the most money, buying/selling properties on Guimaras, or shops / roads / etc. etc. I don't know exactly where all the money comes from, but being the Philippines I've got my worries that I probably shouldn't look into it too deeply. That city was just too damn optimistic.

----------

As an American, I'd compare Manila to New York City. Huge, sprawling, pessimistic but grounded in reality. My cousin was pretty happy that his bus route was upgraded from open Jeepney to Air-conditioned Bus, for instance. A small pleasure and improvement, but these little things matter.

I'd compare Iloilo to Silicon Valley. Optimists and opportunities around every corner, dreamers, entrepreneurs. But with those are probably scammers and conmen hiding behind the optimistic veneer.

It could just be the difference from my Mom's side vs Dad's side though.
> You say you disagree, but what you describe is not what I meant. My point is exactly to argue that if people could not have acted differently, punishing people for the sake of causing them suffering in retribution rather than for another purpose such as rehabilitation or deterrence is no morally different than enacting the same on someone who had not carried out a crime.

If it wasn't clear, I was disagreeing that "punishment as vengeance" is the primary motive for punitive justice, while pointing out some grounds typically used to justify it (deterrence mainly). I think reducing punitive justice to vengeance is largely a strawman.

Furthermore, I'll just note that Fankfurt refuted the principle of alternate possibilities decades ago, so I don't find this particular quality you ascribe to free will meaningful.
They're very intertwined. A paperclip factory produces things; they don't do tech development (shouldn't do much at least). Tech development is about pushing the edge. Science, obtaining more knowledge about the universe we have to work with, helps, but it's also about finding new applications for what we've already known.

Tech development doesn't necessitate the production of things, even intangible ones. Technology development in the form of new optimization techniques in existing software for e.g. rendering 3d models or searching data faster or whatever is not producing things, but it's still tech development.

I'm not interested in power-tripping, I'm interested in the people power tripping having the least interest in putting me in jail. Maybe that's because the judicial system allows freedom, maybe it's because the police are lazy or understaffed, maybe it's because they want my money. I'm a pragmatic man.

As for freedom, it's going to be relative. Each person has unique resources and abilities that dictate where they will find the most freedom. You don't have to victimize others to improve your own freedom.
Read up on history. Communism caused millions of needless deaths.
Her (2013) is one of the best sci-fi movies ever made. Not only is it heartfelt and the characters are relatable, but the sci-fi future it is set in is a very accurate representation of our near future. This movie predicted AI companions just as Siri was taking off, and it perfectly predicted the alienation between humans that is slowly getting worse. Simply amazing.

This raises huge red flags for privacy. Presumably OpenAI keeps full logs of every interaction with ChatGPT / GPT-3, but this isn't self-evident when you're using them. And it feels intimate--it feels like you're talking to a person--and that builds trust. To say nothing of applications like therapy, or personal coaching...

This makes me feel that open-source LLMs that can be estimated efficiently, and run on local hardware, is an urgent need. Otherwise we will live in a cyberpunk dystopia with a centralized company that knows everything about you.

This was how Epinions worked for products - you built a graph of product reviewers you trusted and you inherit a relevance score for a product based on the transitive trust amplifying product reviews. It was a brilliant model (it was a bunch of folks from Netscape including guha and the Nextdoor CEO, got acquired a few times and google shopping killed their model, eventually acquired by eBay for the product catalog taxonomy system - which I helped to build)

I would say the current model of information retrieval against a mountain of spam is already broken and LLM will just kick it over into impossible. I feel like we are already back to the world of Lycos, Excite, and Altavista where searches give you a semi relevant cluster of crap and you have to query craft to find the right document. In some ways I think the LLM chatbot isn’t a bad way to get information if it can validate itself against a semantic verification system and IR systems. I also think the semantic web might have a bigger role by structuring knowledge in a verifiable way rather than in blobs of ascii.
Indeed, I think some of the most damaging policies in existence are the draconian drug laws. There is clearly much bipartisan support for them, but Conservatives in general are much more deeply held on it. Many believe drug use (except their own) is immoral and that justifies the heavy paternalistic approach they take. There are definitely "morally superior" people on both sides of the coin, they just tend to have different issues on which they think they know better than everybody else.
What is content?
Is content entertainment?
If you look at entertainment we will soon be living in world where short clips can be autogenerated and personalized based on keywords and criteria.

Stable Diffusion provides already good enough images to cover a lot of visual content online.

If you look at image shares sites for the purpose of entertainment like Imgur, you will also notice that a large portion of the viral content are screenshots from Twitter or traditional media.

Is content opinions?

No, you got it right. Describing it as a game of telephone is a great analogy. This is exacerbated by the confidently incorrect problem. LLM output looks sophisticated and correct and may at time actually be correct. However some unpredictable percent of the time it will be incorrect and confidently so.
You only need a 2D display to create fully 3d images (see the 3DS for an example).
I find that interesting, even if I abhor its existence. Feels a little like SEO tea-leaf reading. "If I prompt this, I get that." It's like reverse-engineering the model so you can game it into doing something specific, without actually understanding how the model works and what it's actually trained on.
That's just a strawman. Who did that?

Played this for a bit but ran into some trouble with the key mappings. CTRL to crouch means that I can't really press anything else without causing firefox to ruin the game.

* CTRL+R (reload) causes the page to refresh

* CTRL+W (walk forward) attempts to close the current tab

* CTRL+S (walk backward) opens a dialog to save the current page

* CTRL+D (walk right) bookmarks the current page

Luckily firefox shows a confirmation dialog before refresh or closing the tab, but that causes the game to freeze until you dismiss it.

Also sound didn't work at all
For rapid prototyping I (who you originally replied to) completely avoid lifetimes. If you think you have to "annotate lifetimes of everything you pass around", you should probably revisit Rust. This is simply not true.

I find type annotations to be a major benefit while prototyping - I know exactly what everything is, and can quickly refactor anything. The ability to use serde to deserialize/serialize into Rust structs is another huge benefit. Chaining iterators, collections, etc removes a lot of the boilerplate that I find myself doing in python.

I've also been using Rust as my primary programming language for 5+ years now, so I am definitely "in the zone"
I'm mostly being serious with my comment. I think meetings are necessary but somehow we end up wasting a lot of time. The other factor is, once a person's time becomes largely consumed by meetings, they tend to throw in the towel and give up on any deep thought or any kind of accomplishment. Once this watershed moment occurs, the tendency to book more meetings is increased. After all, it is far better to be 100% overhead and only attend meetings all day vs attending meetings 60% of the time an expected to do something meaningful in the remaining 40% (which is usually highly fragmented).

> Why? If a really good artist studies a single piece long enough, he could be able reproduce it

Part of the answer is in your question. A really good artist is rare, and forgery is a specialized skill.

The point is not that humans are capable of forgery, but that the model/software is capable of it with minimal effort, and enables anyone regardless of skill to achieve similar outcomes.

Setting aside the resulting privacy issues, this has major implications. Two are:

1. The risk of forgery previously accepted by a copyright framework that assumed human actors has drastically changed.

2. The claims that Stable Diffusion only produces derivative work and not originals was at the heart of the argument that says SD model training is fair use, and regardless of why, we know this is not true.

> The difference between a human studying a certain piece intensely, and a model overfitting to it, is that to the model, it happens by accident.

That is one difference in the factors surrounding the initial creation of the output.

The differences continue to stack up as you examine the process of learning, the algorithms that produce new output, the computational context (both hardware and software), the agency of the entity creating the output, etc.

The software doesn’t do anything by accident. It does exactly what it has been instructed to do.

The humans training the model are at the core of any accident. This might seem obvious, but I think it bears restating because it highlights the nature of the situation. The model is not an independent actor.

Whether or not it’s a desired outcome is not relevant. The fact that it is possible - and that this possibility has further implications about the nature of the software itself - is what I argue hurts the standard arguments claiming Stable Diffusion is not infringing by virtue of its similarity to human processes of thinking and expression.
After having worked at a FAANG and having friends who still do, the way I've seen it is that with your YOE to work basically solely as an IC with less mentorship responsibilities you have to be in a highly specialized, challenging area (AI, ML, etc.). If you're in a more common area like web dev, backend engineering, data ingestion, etc etc. then you're more likely going to have those mentorship responsibilities.
> I mentioned really briefly that tcpdump lets you save pcap files. This is awesome because literally every network analysis tool in the universe understands pcap files. pcap files are like freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Everybody loves them.

OMG, yes, very well put. When I get a bug report with a pcap file I'm happy because I know I'll be able to see exactly what happened.

Speaking of which: for one of my libraries, I want to make a diagnostic tool that replays an interaction. My library mostly operates at the TCP level (also some UDP), so I need to reconstruct the TCP flows in my tool to feed to my library. Either I need an easy-to-use Rust library to do that directly from pcap files [1] or some format that represents bytes moving over the flow (like sets of lines with a timestamp, flow id, and pretty hexdump of the bytes) with a tool that produces it from pcap. This seems like something that should exist? Wireshark's "Analyze > Follow > TCP Stream"’s "Save As…", "entire stream", "hex dump" is kind of what I want, but it doesn't have timestamps, and it doesn't have a way to put everything (multiple flows, UDP packets also) in one file. Seems like there should be something under "Export Packet Dissections" [2] but I haven't found quite the right thing there either.

[1] https://crates.io/crates/pnet looks promising but it wasn't as obvious as I hoped how to plug it in for what I want.

I don't know about most of the people. What may have mattered was easy access to Unix for students in universities. You would normally expect there some VAXen, Sun hardware, and even PDPs, all running Unix.

Access to healthy and ethical food consumption does have a economic/class line drawn around it but that doesn't mean that a person who is decrying what should be considered substandard sourcing and production of food is mocking the plight of those who can't afford it (and often don't even have access to it).
For casual level play it’s indeed fine. But the “flatness” of a level doesn’t really mean much. You want to know which specific part of a nearby room someone is in. To the left… in front? Behind? Are they going through the hallway or cellar in cs_italy?

Like any game, you get huge value out of slight advantages when you get to the more high level skill.

Maybe you are overthinking it. Do you have a good relationship with your manager? Ask for their advice and for feedback.

Length and detail of updates in standup isn't a good metric for you to judge your value. Direct feedback is better, and any company worth their salt will get that feedback to you in a timely manner.

If you are making an honest and sincere effort, you have no need to be anxious. But be proactive about asking for feedback and support when you need it.
Each webpage should express a piece of metadata that is content-quality.

* primary - The content on this page is a primary source

* secondary - The content on this page is high quality, but which is primarily research based and may thus be tainted by unknown sources

* bot - The content on this page is mostly automatically generated by one or more ML models with some human curated improvements

HTML elements can also have data-content-quality to override the page level metadata. So if you have a primarily sourced paragraph.

Search engines can index this signal. Sites that claim primary, but which frequently are provably wrong or bot generated can be penalized.
