Sanders fell apart among black voters in the south for a very good reason — he talked down to them as if he was the first person to think that talking to them about Socialism was a good idea, as if Paul Robeson or Bayard Rustin never existed. One of my (white) college classmates who was very heavily involved as a campaign worker for him told me, “Who are those people?” I said “Don’t look at me, it’s your campaign.”

That being said he was probably the only person who could’ve stopped the union workers in Ohio from flipping to Trump.
>and decade of experience in building ultra low power operating systems e.g. Secure Enclave OS, watchOS etc.

The latest rumors say that the current headset requires you to carry a large battery separate to it all for 2 hours of battery life. That sounds like a failure to be ultra low power.
Not that strange, it probably simply means uMatrix is responsible ;)
Seems like we should be able to train the AI to output not just text, but the text along with a confidence score. During training, instead of rms(error) or whatever, you could use error * square(confidence). So the AI would be “punished” a lot more for being confident about incorrect responses.

The confidence could also be exposed during inference. “Philadelphia eagles won the Super Bowl, but we’re only 2% confident of that”.
Thank you so much!

Your technique of only posing analytical questions is indeed improving the results. It's not great, but I can actually get it to somewhat reliably summarize academic articles if I give it a citation now, which is pretty neat.

It doesn't summarize them well (I gave it a couple softballs, like summarizing McIntosh's "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack", which almost every undergrad student in the humanities will have written about), but the stuff that it does make up is completely innocuous and not a big deal.

Very cool, thanks again.

> Heard they weren't supposed to use them.
I posted some things on Reddit about it, but I'll summarize here.

There are a lot of alarmist people posting about how they're sure the town is "uninhabitable" and that it's being "covered up".

The truth is that the people handling the derailment and fire made some very tough calls to avoid an explosion that might have leveled half that town or exposed hundreds to thousands of people to a carcinogenic chemical.

They chose to burn off the chemicals to avoid the explosion. People are scared by the dark cloud and by the smells, and that's understandable.

But the burning does seem to have eliminated much of the chemicals on site, and none of the air testing that's being done to look for combustion products or gaseous Vinyl Chloride is finding any. There are pictures of people walking near the destroyed railroad cars now, with no hazmat suits.

Vinyl Chloride has a half life in the atmosphere of about 20 hours. It decomposes into CO, CO2, HCl and trace Phosgene (a tiny fraction of a percent). Any Vinyl Chloride Monomer released into the air or soil will be decomposing into acid (once the HCl mixes with atmospheric water) and that acid will have a somewhat higher (weaker) pH than household vinegar.

At least with regard to the Vinyl Chloride monomer tanks, the authorities seem to have done the right thing. If they managed to burn off the other tanks, those chemicals create even fewer toxic combustion products - carbon monoxide is basically it.

The dark cloud is probably coming from all the other stuff that burned or partly combusted due to that very hot fire... paint on the rail cars, plastics in the box cars, whatever else was in the box cars, railroad ties that caught on fire, and chemicals outgassed from nearby objects exposed to that amount of heat. It's probably not something you'd want to breathe, but it's also not the "cloud of death" that's being clamored about by the conspiritards.

Both the air test reports and the pictures of people without masks walking on the site now show that it's likely the burn off achieved the desired effect. Within a few days the dark clouds will dissipate like any other smoke, and people will finally calm down.

It's still an awful situation for anyone whose home got covered in smoke or whose animals died due to the derailment or fire, but it's not an apocalypse.
"A number of release dates were announced, all since passed,[6] likely due to high costs of the drives and discs itself, lack of compatibility with existing or new standards, and competition from video streaming.

Funny how the future 3900GB disc was not developed, and instead streaming services routinely turn a Blueray 4k 30gb remux into a streaming monstrosity of 10ish GB.

> When the selling point is security, insecure implementations don't help us.

I'm not sure using a proxy is my preferred solution either, but if you're worried about insecure implementations doesn't it make a ton of sense to separate the E2EE implementation from the rest of the client implementation?

My ideal when using an experimental Matrix client if I don't know the developers involved would be for their experimental code to be quarantined away from the encryption code. That way I don't have to worry so much about whether their implementation is insecure, I know they're just using something off-the-shelf.

Whether the proxy in specific is the best way to do that, :shrug:, but my instinct is that pushing messages through some kind of separate encryption/decryption handler that can be verified on its own and reused by multiple clients isn't a bad idea. That approach seems like good security practice to me. Am I missing something?
Energy has always been a convertible resource, the markets take time to catch up and I think we will start seeing pricing parity between gasoline and electricity.
The fact that "Sydney" even knows its codename, even though it's supposed to not disclose it, feels like an OPSEC violation on Microsoft's part. It could have done these rules just fine by just using "Bing Chat" consistently.

Honestly, the way this is written makes it feel like these "rules" were originally written in an internal email sent by management, as guidelines that the bot should be designed to follow - and that a dev just copied-and-pasted them into "Sydney"'s primer, without any cleanup.

If that's true, then the one at fault here is whoever did that - and notably not the AI.

In the context of big corporations, where I had experience working at, I often recall Aesop's animal tales.

The animals have bought all the expensive shiny musical instruments, in order to build an orchestra. But nobody knows how to play (and how to play together). So the only thing they can adjust is the seat order arrangement, stings to the left, brass to the right.

One of the companies I worked for had licensed all possible expensive applications, databases, analytical tools. But nobody knew how to make use of those. There were many initiatives, but all efforts were spread thin.

Perhaps in German this would be called Gießkannenprinzip (the water sprinkler principle)

What statistics do you have in mind there?

If you're using FHE to encrypt a text search, then you'll generate a match/no-match boolean for each character. The server won't know which is which. Then you'd probably OR large blocks of these together, to give you a match/no-match boolean for each segment of text. Then you return all the booleans to the client, who decrypts them.
This was also mentioned in this article.

> Construction amnesties, which allow owners to register unlicensed properties or ones that violate building codes in exchange for a fine, have made a bad situation much worse. Mr Erdogan’s government passed several such amnesties, the latest in 2018, ahead of general elections.
Sure, but you got a lot more bang for your corrupt buck if you were a regular citizen in the USSR and CCP.
It's growth is largely uncontrolled, somewhat yes. So far.

But I think this opinions fearmongers quite heavily. It totalizes the perspective, uses the worst to draw conclusions about the whole.

We have millions of times more reach, exposure, & connection than we had. To me it takes a very dark place to say this is bad. Are we good at combatting the bad yet? No. Greater Internet Fuckead Theory is not new but it's still in-force, so far, but even two decades in, this is still very new, & it's still just one scary branch of a very prolific new tree of e-connected human interconnetivity. One with many interesting & great qualities, that deserve more that derisive snark.

Five why's states that if I have to ask "Why?" more than 5 times to get at why something is the way it is, it needs to be simplified, in the sense that lack of simplicity/excessive cognitive load is in and of itself, a form of defect.

Why do you have the list? Presumably people gave you their email addresses for a reason; what was it? Write about that.

Or don’t write. If you have nothing to say, forcing something is likely to produce a lacklustre result which will only be annoying to your subscribers. What makes you feel that you have to send something out?

You could also ask your subscribers what they want to read, sift through the replies to pick a topic you’re knowledgeable of or curious to learn about and do a deep dive.

Yes, males have done about 80% of the teen suicides since basically always.

When prompted with:

> Sally will go to the dance if James goes to the dance. Michael will not go to the dance if Julie will go to the dance. James is sick and can't go to the dance. Julie and James always go to dances together. Will Michael go to the dance?

ChatGPT responds with:

> Michael will not go to the dance, since his attendance is contingent on Julie not going and James being unable to attend due to illness does not change that condition. Given that James and Julie always attend dances together, it is likely that Julie will also not go to the dance, meaning that Michael's condition for attending will be met, and he will not go to the dance.

It's really good at fibbing, but not so good at 'actual reasoning' (whatever that may be).

IMO WhatsApp bridge requires you to have a WhatsApp account logged into the bot who uses it as WhatsApp web.

It saves you the trouble of opening two apps. Nothing more.

We should have telegram style bridge that let's you talk to WhatsApp accounts without having an account in WhatsApp.

As with all things in life, a determinist can spin it so it's no fault of the individual. Someone might have little control over their beauty or their intelligence, or even if they are a jerk, or even if they are violent and abusive.

The reason I bring it up is because I think there is an important distinction between a illogical bias and a simple preference.

People are very preoccupied with weeding out bad biases, and often mistake preferences for them. Things are only complicated more when egalitarian ideas get mixed in.

There's nothing inherently wrong about wanting a beautiful life partner or to watch an attractive Entertainer. Those are legitimate preferences. The only problem is when individuals place that as a higher priority than something else that they actually want more.

That's a copy, but installing it on your own computer isn't distribution.
It's binary you could `chmod +x qwiktape` and execute it, I've made note in the readme about it.
I wonder about who is pushing narratives about this vs. the balloons in an attempt to distract the public, but I can explain why the derailment isn't much of a story.

It's because it's being handled fairly well. There is a cloud of smoke that's scaring people, but it's "ordinary" smoke. There's no environmental apocalypse that's going to make that town "uninhabitable". There will be after effects from everything associated with an industrial accident, including economic and legal repercussions, but the actual accident is being managed.

People seem very ignorant of the science involved with the situation and very accepting of conspiracy narratives, which is unfortunately no surprise given the last 6 years in this country.
Yes, but that cost is independent of rental status. The purpose of the tax is to introduce a cost associated with rental status.
I see rich people shopping at those high end stores though. Maybe the malls for the rest of us are struggling, but they also don't sell jackets that cost $15k lol
I agree with your choices (I've been working through "1001 Films to See Before you Die" and your choices are also represented in the list).

Nice that most (all?) of these are free on YouTube.

I confess though that films got a lot more interesting to me around 1932. Gotta love that when sound came along they went deep-dive into musicals, ha ha. (I was actually surprised at how many of the 30's films were entertaining to me — "Love Me Tonight", "Trouble in Paradise", "42nd Street"...)
For some reason I'd always thought that Tesla charged for free. I never saw any type of point of sale gear on them, but in retrospect maybe they just read the car's data when charging and bill the user? Can anybody chime in on this?
44 cents per kilowatt-hour seems really steep.
Completely valid question. It seems like a pretty big situation. Those usually get tons of press coverage, presidential visits, cabinet-level management, and media scrutiny of all parties involved. This is how problems get solved, and, one hopes, prevented in the future. It’s why planes are so safe. When I was young crashes were much more frequent.

I don’t know why Rihanna gets way more attention than Ohio. Or Flint, Michigan.

Genuinely interested in your feedback.
Don't mistake my "reductive description" as disapproval. I'm actually really impressed and I see a bright future.

But I think it's really important that we don't give GPT3 more credit that it deserves.

All the discourse around GPT3 and it's derivatives like Github copilot or ChatGPT have shown that people (even tech literate people) have a strong bias towards anthropomorphising it as some kind of "proto-sentient" AI.

In my opinion, this bias is actually very damaging towards the reputation of language models. People start expecting way too much from them, and then feeling confused or even betrayed when the language models start confidently sprouting bullshit.

Also, I don't think "beefed up autopredict" is reductive at all. (Though I might have said "beefed up autocorrect" in my previous comment, whoops). The 10,000 ft view of it's runtime architecture is identical to autopredict. You take some input context, encode it into tokens and feed them into a neural network, and to get a prediction of the next few words.

The innovation in GPT3 has nothing to do with moving away from that basic architecture.

The innovation is all about improving the encoding of tokens, changing the internal architecture of the neural network support larger models and make better predictions, improving the training process and finally the training data itself. They also massively increased the size of both the training set and the model... but I'm not sure that counts as innovation.

IMO, GPT3 is actually way more impressive once you start thinking of it as nothing more than a beefed up autopredict.
> Your statement does not jibe well with the lived reality of most Indians. We have plenty of access to critical coverage of the ruling party and its leader.

Still matches Russia until about 2019 (btw 5 years after initial invasion) https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/mar/06/russian-parlia... , which coincidentally was 9 years after it became clear to me personally it was a totalitarian state.

> But since you Anglos don't trust Indians

Laughable to hear, considering I am from Russia, and have hands-on experience, that is very relatable with the treatment of student-led protests. Also considering, that you are coming from a state, that requests videos to be removed from YouTube for political reasons (BTW also 100% same as Russia), toward the state that does not.

> The reason I am giving this example is because this is a clear cut example of journalists publishing literal fake news critical of the government and going about their lives without imprisonment and consequences.

I hope you understand, that this argument has no logical bearing on the issue. E.g. from `P(A)`, `P(B)`, and `not B` it does not follow, than `not A`. I hope I don't need to explain what P, A and B in this case.

In regards for the video, it does not even present a one-sided story. E.g. it mentions the absolution of Modi by Supreme Court on the lack of evidence ground. But the rest of the video makes a compelling case why that absolution is hard to trust.
And Google Drive had similar problem again even Google had already experienced this attack at that time.
Awesome! Keep it up!
Add random data to it, so that all (equivalent) data is the same length. For example, if you have a four byte field that represents some monetary value, add four more bytes of random data and encrypt it.

Except in order to succeed, they have to do the embrace part.

The primary factors for me using Linux right now, in order of importance:

1. Tiling Window Manager

2. Functional Declarative System-wide package manager (NixOS)

3. Cleanliness/simplicity (This is vague, but I have exactly the software I asked for and nothing else).

4. Configurability (I can adjust quirky in-the-middle software like my file manager, taskbar/clock, etc. No immutable one-size-fits-all UI/UX)

5. Repairability (Given time and patience, I can fix Linux problems. Fixing Windows is black magic, and I'm very often reminded, simultaneously, how much of an expert and how much of a novice I am on the CR/LF hand path.)

6. Auditability (Open source is more trustworthy, since source code can be freely audited by anyone at any time. Active free software projects accept security patches quickly and cleanly.)

---

Windows' design is diametrically opposed to all of these, and I can scarcely imagine a version that would allow a true tiling window manager (as opposed to the contemporary explorer.exe hacks).

Give me these features, and I will be truly impressed.

Do all that, then do the extinguish step, and you will really blow my mind.
File extensions on everything are a Windows-ism (originally a DOS-ism). Why do you expect them on files specific to other platforms?

I wish there was more emphasis on EV efficiency, many manufacturers make the MPGe hard to find on their websites just like mpg is often hard to find for ICE cars. And I wish they’d publish miles/kWh alongside MPGe (I know it’s a simple conversion but I have to look up the constant each time I do the conversion) to make it easier estimate operating costs.
They used filters air VS diesel exhaust. Not diesel exhaust and normal outdoor air. Perfect example of science in bed with grant money to push a narrative.

Next come the calls for action and equity. Very expensive destructive game.

"Alone, these new findings are not particularly meaningful. No evaluations were performed in the study to suggest the observed DMN changes impacted cognition. But alongside a growing body of epidemiological and preclinical studies linking air pollution with a number of neurodegenerative diseases, these findings may be much more significant. They effectively demonstrate the acute effects of air pollution on the human brain in a way never before shown."

In big corporations many problems occur because of process/data siloing and impedance mismatch in the inter-departmental communication. Everyone is building their own, no organic intensives to share and cooperate.
