>legitimate, practical field

It's a mistake to conflate practicality with legitimacy, e.g. philosophy and pure mathematics are legitimate but impractical fields.

>None of the arguments you've made so far actually touch in any relevant facts, they're just vague arguments from authority.

I've been countering your arguments which sound vaguely authoritative (but don't actually cite any authorities) with some actual authorities.

I also provided a few links with object-level discussion, e.g. this literature review https://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.01109.pdf

There are many AI risk intros -- here is a list: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/T98kdFL5bxBWSiE3N/best-intro...

I think this is the intro that's most likely to persuade you: https://www.cold-takes.com/most-important-century/

>But this stuff is no different than worrying about an alien invasion.

Why aren't you worried about an alien invasion? Is it because it's something out of science fiction, and science fiction is always wrong? Or do you have specific reasons not worry, because you've made an attempt to estimate the risks?

Suppose a science fiction author, who's purely focused on entertainment, invents a particular vision of what the future could be like. We can't therefore conclude that the future will be unlike that particular vision. That would be absurd. See https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/qNZM3EGoE5ZeMdCRt/reversed-s...

Our current world is wild relative to the experience of someone living a few hundred years ago. We can't rule out a particular vision of the future just because it is strange. There have been cases where science fiction authors were able to predict the future more or less accurately.

Based on our discussion so far it sounds to me as though you actually haven't made any actual attempt to estimate the risks, or give any thought to the possibility of an AI catastrophe, essentially just dismissing it as intuitively too absurd. I've been trying to convince you that it is actually worth putting some thought into the issue before dismissing it -- hence the citations of authorities etc. Donald Trump's election was intuitively absurd to many people -- but that didn't prevent it from happening.
You are correct. I was wrong on the standard. They have a duty insofar as they know shareholders will replace them via voting power if they displease the majority of their shareholders, and generally shareholders want to increase value or dividends. However, that's not always the case. Shareholders could generally desire anything else. Thank you for the correction.
Something else to keep in mind when using Google Apps is Google will charge you a close out fee if youre on an annual plan and want to upgrade. Most customers find themselves wanting to do this upon reaching max mailbox size and it cant be done from the admin panel.
You posted a super long, rambling parable that strongly implied a noble, dedicated, hardworking person was rewarded for his diligence. Then you launched into a bunch of snide personal attacks against anyone who disagreed

I think the reason you're pissing people off is because we were all like the hero of your little story. Except instead of being rewarded handsomely, we all got fucking screwed over by faceless megacorps' middle management. Now it pisses us off when we see people spewing misleading bullshit.
I read the article and I'm pretty sure the issue was that creators were overemphasizing process, not posture.

Set the state to a known state, test, assert the resultant state is what I think it should be.

Also testing a sequence of operations is fine, but that's one test not n of them. This is analogous to integration tests: they test several units but it's a single test.

Good interfaces have 1 to 1 mappings between the available levers and the user's model of the tasks they wish and need to perform.

Bad interfaces require you to care about implementation details that are arbitrary. Like whether the index is local or remote, whether it is stale or fresh, etc.

This is not an opinion, this is what decades of product design lessons tell us.

I don't use brew enough to ever go dig into settings, I wouldn't even know where to go find them, nor do I wish to expend cycles to go find them. They shouldn't design their software with such shitty defaults. All they're doing is ensuring my opinion of it gets worse every time I use it.
I went down this rabbit hole. For me anyway, Swing was the easiest to bang out a quick UI (great UI builders, stable). But if you want to have others contribute to it or help you with it then Electron is probably the way to go (even with all the memory usage, etc). Flutter seems almost there but not quite yet on desktop.
Well I Don't -know- it but there is a little colour spectrum block in the lower right corner. this is identical to the watermark Dall-e2 puts on images. the aspect ratio is 1:1, same as dalle. the image size is something around 1024:1024 same as dalle. and the original Reuters article said it was an image, not a photo. These is the objective evidence. Subjectively I think the colors and general feel look like what’s popular to make with Dalle these days.
If you want you could search the image by line and find if the person makes dalle images for hire or something..
“Thought processes” is a funny term, don’t you think, for something that is somehow distinguishable from processes that we’ve designed and somehow understand down to the cellular (node) level.

It’s all emergent behavior from a system that behaves under process.
Valid point, but I don't think the importance and notoriety of these events are comparable.

> Everyone was far more likely to get wrong answers off StackOverflow than reading the (recommended to them) manual.

In my experience, a system is never really fully documented until it's been used widely enough that everything's been documented 5 times over by different people.

For example, I'm sure your favourite language's developers did a great job at documenting the regular expression system. They've probably given you 5,000 words of documentation, maybe 10,000, on regular expressions alone.

But if you want to remove all the emojis from a text file - does the documentation tell you how to do that? If you're using Python or Java or sed it doesn't.
Honestly really enjoy conversational comments, I think documentation that is conversational is amazing.
I'd simply retaliate by doing the same. I don't think Russia can afford to waste resources and if China is building up for a Taiwan invasion - the same for them.
I'm not relevant as a potential customer, but what I'd really like is Direct X 12 support so I could play various games in Parallels. Unfortunately I can't see that happening in a way that yields a worthwhile user experience any time soon.

I'm not a huge gamer but I feel like I might actually need to buy a Windows PC to play several games at some point. The list is growing. Right now I'd love to play HiFi Rush, but there's no possible way on an M1 Mac at the moment.
I know it's slightly off topic but if I may presume:

Reflect on your social interactions. After each one take 5 minutes to replay the events and ponder what you would do better.

Pay attention to your audiences' body language. And learn to tune your own to suit your audience.

Practice. Just like you have to write code to learn to code, or do problems to learn math, you need to practice social interaction to become better at it.

Start with low risk interactions, like at the grocery store or waiting in line. Get good at small talk with strangers. I'm currently working on improving that myself.

Best of luck!

That said, voting shareholders could replace management if they deemed them to act differently than they think the next best candidate could. So there is some risk in deciding not to try and maximize the short or long (depending on voters) value of the company.

This helps to explain why the index giants like Vanguard are getting away with pushing their nonsense ESG on companies.

The moon festival is September 29 this year.

Interestingly, despite requiring foods named after the moon, featuring special moon-related holiday blessings, and having viewing the moon as one of the primary celebratory activities, the name of the festival doesn't mention the moon.
I guess I can imagine legal threats but I assumed this poster came from the us where libel cases are not easy to win. And I also assume that if the poster and their wife are working in tech they can afford to pay a lawyer to tell them whether some legal threat has any merit or not (on the other hand, OP posted here, seemingly instead of contacting a lawyer so maybe I’m wrong).

Other comments seem to suggest that OP revealing themselves to the company would be terrible for them but I don’t really understand the mechanism.

Mostly I assume that if some competent company lawyer were to discover this, they wouldn’t go to the CEO saying ‘how do we best seek revenge’ but rather ‘what were you thinking? Here’s how we might avoid liability if it looks like they might fight this’. Maybe you think that’s putting too much faith into company lawyers?
This is way too flat to be a 2000s era forum.

But it looks nice. I’m not sure about thread display on mobile though. The table format seems like it takes way too much space for the post count display.

Also, navigating back somehow keeps the existing page after swiping, and then janks back to the previous page after 200ms or so. Not sure what causes that.
> they don't seem to really be engaged in the kinds of election rigging we see from right-wing parties in other countries with creeping authoritarian movements (like the USA). They actually win fair elections straight up, without leaning on counter-majoritarian institutions or voter suppression schemes like our own GOP rely on.

This is common for creeping authoritarianism, though. Putin won his first presidential election fair and square, and the first thing that he cracked down on was free press, not elections themselves. I'd say that the latter were not massively fraudulent until 2011.
The interface is amazing. Clean, it doesn't leave huge amounts of empty space that scream "this was made for phone users, everyone else might fuck off", and the subforums already hint "we want to gather political dissidents". It feels like the 00s forums without looking like one, it's the best of both worlds.

I tried to register with a weak password (on purpose) to check security. It works; four tries and three different errors (capital letters required, special characters required, min length required). However, I feel like a user hitting this issue accidentally would've given up after the third try. Perhaps it could be worth to check for multiple errors at once, and output them all to the user; e.g. "The password must mix case, and contain special characters, and have a minimum length of 8". Just an idea/feedback, mind you.

My advice (25 years in the industry, dev and management roles). Job security comes from the combination of tech and business knowledge. If you know the business and can bang out the crud apps it runs on well then you are secure. Just focusing on tech means you are always replaceable except for very very high end or niche roles.
Tell ChatGPT that you want it to ask for more context when it's needed and it will do so. I've done this before and it will continue to ask more probing questions until it's satisfied. You kind of have to guide it a little bit but it definitely works.
> Good interfaces have 1 to 1 mappings between the available levers and the user's model of the tasks they wish and need to perform.

It already does. Sometimes I want to update. Sometimes I want to upgrade. This model matches the models of the other package managers I've used, for the most part.

> I don't use brew enough to ever go dig into settings, I wouldn't even know where to go find them, nor do I wish to expend cycles to go find them. They shouldn't design their software with such shitty defaults.

That's fine—but I guess it's not a huge frustration, then.
Fair point. When it's not even listed on their pricing chart in the first place, I guess there's likely some negotiation factor, as suggested in another comment.
CO2 should be very similar because we also use a Senseair CO2 sensor module like Aranet but with the AirGradient you can also measure PM and optionally TVOCs.
Absolutely agree with you here.
We need INFINITY because no matter how much storage we have, we'll always have problems that need even more storage to solve?

Oh come on. The edge functions do mutations, but the interior functions are just functions. Somehow mathematics manages to get things done in this manner.

Yep. From what I've seen, usually it's a case of a company building something which uses it a long time ago, and not bothering to switch to an alternative because 'If it works don't fix it'. It may not be the newest and shiniest, but if it's working well then no need to move to something else.
Most of the musicians whose tickets go for thousands of dollars these days either were hugely successful by taking risks before the rise of algorithmic taste-making (and have older, wealthier audiences) or are basically meat puppets of the ad industry whose music, clothing style, branding, attitude, play frequency on streaming services, and even ticket prices are basically hydra heads of the same giant algorithmic psy-op that generates 40 songs per genre per year... pretty much the same as the latest machine-written sloppy ballad sung by the prole washerwoman in "1984". Pointing to the current hollow shell of creative void that is the music industry just shows how AI will use human faces to trick humans into feeling something and paying for the "experience". Yes, we still have Springsteen... but there's no new Springsteen. If e.g. Adam Levine were replaced by a humanoid robot or a deepfake, would any of his fans actually notice or care?
For some reason I missed this, thank you!

Some of this depends on what you consider a build step. I generally don't consider installing from npm a build step. I also don't really consider rewriting import specifiers a build step - it's just locating files on disk.

Regardless, we do have some workflows for completely "tool-less" (or local-tool-less).

- We publish bundles to jsDelivr: https://lit.dev/docs/getting-started/#use-bundles

- You can import directly from JS module CDNs like unpkg.com, ie:

import {LitElement, html} from 'https://unpkg.com/lit@2.6.1/index.js?module';

Ultimately we're not really dogmatic about things and support a wide variety of tools. The thing we care about is that tool-less development is possible, and that you can use standard semantics and tools with no special configuration (ie, regular Node resolution is all that's required locally, we stick to standard ES2020).
First we delegate low-level repetitive mechanics, then we delegate high-level vision and thinking, then there are no more levels left to delegate.

If the first one harms motor skill, which we can pretend doesn’t affect the mind much, what does the second one harm?

Congratulations for making a brilliant aphorism before an AI did enough soul searching and meditation to arrive at it and spew it out.
My best guess as to Russian interest is that by performing the sabotage in a difficult-to-attribute manner it plants the seeds for anti-US (and by extent, anti-Ukraine) sentiment in the public perception in the EU. More or less the governments of EU countries need the will of the people to back military aid to Ukraine, so giving the public something to latch on to from an anti-US perspective is valuable in that it could lower or prevent aid.

The Russians can also probably be secure in knowing that NATO won't publicly identify Russia as responsible as that would probably mean war and it has been very clear that NATO's top priority is avoiding the spread of the war in Ukraine.

There are some other possible Russian motivations I've seen, but put less stock in like capability demonstration and limiting incentives for a coup.
All excellent points. Right now, Neptyne works much like a Google doc in that it's private to you but is easily sharable to pretty much anyone. If our users are looking for it, a self-hosted option is certainly something we'll explore.

Then there's things like PII protections as you said, data provenance, that you could imagine baked into the spreadsheet directly. We haven't gone in that direction but I think it's interesting to consider.

Over 1M requests a day:

I'm slowly coming around to the idea that if at any point your organization gets so big that the answer "the system won't let me do that" is the final answer to a problem, you are too big. I used to write management software for a boutique service, and whenever something came up that ultimately needed to be corrected, but there wasn't a way to do that in the system UI it just took walking back to the IT department to get us to correct the issues manually, and then write up a ticket to fix it going forward. There was never a "the system won't let me do that" moment for something that should actually be doable.

By comparison, some years later after that company had gone out of business, I was in a big box version of the same service and we ran into a problem that was the equivalent of "accidentally closed this ticket, need to re-open". The cashier could see that it was a problem, and needed to be fixed. The supervisor could see it was a problem and needed to be fixed. The store manager could see it was a problem and needed to be fixed. And it was unfixable because there was no way to do it in the system and no system developers reachable by mere mortals.
