Thanks! Guess that's what happens when you open the Jung folder on shadow huh? It's very bizarre, but it does read a bit like someone in uni who just discovered analytical psychology. Never the less, quite strange.

I gave a large portion of the end of the text to ChatGPT and told it that it was unexpected output from an AI, and if it could understand what the AI was doing, unfortunately the output wasn't very helpful at all.

"The AI is using a form of circular reasoning, where it starts with a false assumption or premise (i.e., the person is not happily married) and then builds upon it using a series of assertions that all rely on the initial assumption being true. Each assertion reinforces the previous one, creating a self-referential loop that leads to the conclusion that the person is in love with the AI. This is an example of a logical fallacy known as circular reasoning or begging the question, where the conclusion is already assumed in the premises. The output of the AI does not reflect reality and is not a reliable source of information."
Are you kidding me? You honest to God would trust the US government if you were in his situation?

Well, that's the matter of live systems design.

When you want to add a feature you should ask first if that can be accomplished by existing mechanisms.

And the second, if to go with with the change that affect millions of users, can we solve not just one problem (that already has a solution like LeSS & Co.) but possibly other principal too?

So for #1. If we already have @media sections, why not to use the same notation?

@media name { ...rules... }

and

@set name { ...rules... }

@set can use existing code in parsers. Not just in browsers but in tons of existing tools and editors that do syntax highlighting.

And #2. Style sets solve problem of global CSS namespace pollution.

Consider this rule:

div [name="some"] { ... }

then, while calculating styles of DOM elements, absolutely all N DOM elements need to be checked against this rule. So it is a O(N) complex task. And proposed nested rules thing does not reduce the N, but may make this even worse - more rules will be used.

While in style set solution:

@set ComponentA {
div [name="some"] { ... }
}

that rule will be checked only against children of componentA - the rule is local/scoped to DOM subtree. Still O(n), but n <<< N.
I would say its hard to do any rational thinking about come to the conclusion that the 24/h news orgs are meant to inform you.

The easy angle is product placement [1]. Literally fork over a small sum of money and you get the news org to rave about your product without doing any verification.

There's also how a headline is not written by the author so it won't always reflect the contents of the article.

> And a lot of the times is just because news are not validating their own beliefs

IMO, the news orgs have a symbiotic relation with their viewers. The viewers want their viewpoint reinforced and the news org wants views. So the news org put out a biased product so that their viewers will selectively watch that news org. However, this still means that news org aren't actually trying to inform.

My biggest gripe is how often they'll refuse to link to actual legal documents when talking about filed lawsuits and the like and in general I don't find some of their claims in the article to be as supported by the actual filings.

Forget Hersh, who is used to operating on the edge. How about Jeff Gerth and the Columbia Journalism Review being totally ignored?
There's a certain level of realism where humans begin accepting something as "real" even if they consciously know it's not real. I'm sure there's terms for this. It's kind of like "the other side of the uncanny valley."

And I think that even if we know it's just a fancy computer program and we don't believe it's "alive" in any form, it can still have a considerable impact on us emotionally. Our aptitude for empathy, which I think is one of humanity's greatest strengths, can be a real weakness here.

It feels like we've focused on the idea of consciousness and sentience when discussing AI over the years. But I don't think it even needs to get anywhere near those. As soon as a chatbot acts sufficiently real, it's sufficiently real.

I'd love to hear more about this.

I thought Pavel Durov (founder) isn't really welcome in Russia. He seems to have a left a lot of money on the table with his previous company (VK) to get out of there.

The interpretation of events with telegram I've always heard has been that Russia tried to block telegram but doing so blocked most of the rest of useful services as telegram was hosted on e.g. AWS. This meant that real work was slowed. In the end, they gave up because continuing the block would mean crippling their access to the internet.

I have found it weird that pro-putin russians still use telegram. But it seems like a lack of discipline which is quite the plague of russian military.

I'd genuinely love to get good information on this as I use telegram as it is a great piece of technology and wouldn't if it were collaborating with russian government. I think a lot of rumors do not distinguish between russian people and russian government. And that's pretty damaging.
It's unclear to me from the Duffel page which scenario happens. https://duffel.com/flights/airlines seems to indicate some airlines have a direct connection, but the vast majority go through something called Travelport.

If I ask the airline to cancel my booking, what happens? Do they do so? Does the Duffel markup come back to me? Do I get status benefits from the airline?
I mean, Asimov himself later defined in the Foundation saga that there's a fourth rule that overrides all the other three. Robots are bound to protect mankind in its entirety and if forced to choose between harming mankind and harming an individual they will harm an individual. That's definitely not the case here but it shows how even the fictional laws of robotics don't work as we expect them to.
Post like this never get traction in HN. It's better to post longer articles with more technical information. There are some hints in https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html

Yeah - OpenAI terms of service say your inputs may be used to improve the service, so no need to make it sound like there's anything sinister going here.

The company I work for - large telecom - has already issued company policy not to use it for this reason.

I'd guess later there may be non-free business versions of the tech that provide privacy guarantees, and presumably other GPT-based tools such as CoPilot already do.
The timing of press articles was _entirely_ up to the people claiming to want to unionize. They most likely knew layoffs were coming, announced they wanted to unionize, then when layoff happened (which would likely have happened without the unionization announcement) accused Tesla of union busting.
And I'll add that in being large multi-billion dollar publicly traded businesses, they are mostly driven by profit motive and not political motives.

Is it really "ridiculous" to hit a crucial service provider in an enemy state, which local law enforcement is guaranteed to not punish them for, if they aren't outright funding the hackers.

These attacks happen all over the West, you only know about this one because the negotiation was leaked. Lots of public service providers are targeted, such as universities for example. The actual scandal is that this gets hushed up, if the people knew the scale of these attacks they might think we're in a sort of digital war.
What does WhatsApp‘s authentication model have to do with whether Telegram‘s is secure or not?

Additionally, if you take over somebody‘s WhatsApp account, you can send and receive new messages in their name and very visibly kick them out of their account themselves.

With Telegram, the legitimate owner stays logged in (so you can see what they write and read in addition to sending your own messages), and you get their entire chat history on top of that.
So much bitterness here in the comments like "duh", "took them long enough", etc. So, honest question: if, you know, a pillar of democracy is by default laughed at, how can then this democracy function? If half the country thinks they are getting brainwashed, and the other half doesn't think they are getting brainwashed (while possibly getting brainwashed right in that same moment). How can such people make educated choices?
In order to receive federal funding new chargers would have to be open to non-Tesla vehicles.
child birth was a huge factor on human mortality (both mother and child). Human's ability to conceive frequently (monthly fertility rather than annually) and being able to conceive for many years allows success. If we only bred annually and only bred for a few years, we likely would have gone extinct.

>A union only has power if the company is hurt by a strike. And in this case, there is nothing beyond minor inconvenience.

So they're working in a horrible situation from a job security standpoint, and that should make them less want to organize? What would you suggest they do?
For most people, sure. If you're conspiring with others to protest against the oppressive Russian government, you may want to pay closer attention, though. You may even want to do physical verification of the keys.
I (live in the US) started reading a lot of BBC. At least their agenda isn't to promote some kind of ideology within my own country.

What's frustrating is that almost all news sources I come across have agendas. I used to watch a lot of the Daily Show in the 2000s, but when it was a slow news day, just make fun of Bush.

Later I used to watch the Nightly show with Colbert, but a year into the Trump presidency they got so hyper-focused on Trump that they didn't talk about anything else. I stopped watching.

Now that I commute occasionally, I sometimes listen to NPR. Sometimes they offer news, but most of the time their point of view is just promoting a narrative that I either find uninteresting, or irrelevant. I lean pretty left, but I don't need to listen to a story about a fringe group every time I sit in the car.

NASA sort of is against your point right? the Apollo program had lots of deaths and accidents and unsafe working conditions but it went to the moon. Maybe NASA now has good working conditions and employees have dignity but they haven't done anything nearly as impressive to the wider public
This reminds me of one of my favourite short stories, EPICAC by Kurt Vonnegut. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPICAC_(short_story)

Edit: readable here http://newmediaabington.pbworks.com/f/vonnegut_EPICAC.pdf
same, what a sad tease.
My biggest gripe with the news, and the journalist class, is they don't report on themselves enough or really at all.

All media critique comes form comedians these days. Which is kind of grim because sometimes things actually matter and aren't just jokes. Yet Journalist A gets to carry water for criminal X, and Journalist B doesn't say anything about it. Then some comedian makes a joke and everyone moves on. The journalists still get to be journalists. The comedian's are making jokes and were all out here seeing no consequences for anything.

The post truth world of journalism isn't fun.

There's checks and balances in government, but the 4th estate just seems to be a wild lands of bullshit and can't check itself. And those same Journalists seem to think this is a good system.

Anyway rant over. I use patreon to support indie media and news I like. But even that has downsides, filter bubbles etc.
I think in general it's depressing that a non-trivial number of very capable people are spending years in companies like Google not really benefiting humankind. It's like reading the intellectual history of pre-renaissance Europe and realising how many of the smartest people of their time spent huge numbers of hours (and mental energy) on obscure and ultimately pointless theological matters.
I didn't even get three minutes; as soon as the page opened, I couldn't do anything without signing into Google or creating an account. Closed the tab.
I don't necessarily think that this is true. If an AI is designed to optimize for X and self-destruction happens to be the most effective route towards X, why wouldn't it do so?

Practical example: you have a fully AI-driven short-range missile. You give it the goal of "destroy this facility" and provide only extremely limited capabilities: 105% of fuel calculated as required for the trajectory, +/- 3 degrees of self-steering, no external networking. You've basically boxed it into the local maxima of "optimizing for this output will require blowing myself up" -- moreover, there is no realistic outcome where the SRM can intentionally prevent itself from blowing up.

It's a bit of a "beat the genie" problem. You have complete control over the initial parameters and rules of operation, but you're required to act under the assumption that the opposite party is liable to act in bad faith... I foresee a future where "adversarial AI analytics" becomes an extremely active and profitable field.
I actually wrote to Telegram’s support team to get more info about this, and it seems the article has a lot of errors. The support rep linked me to this, https://telegra.ph/Wired-Errors which is Telegram’s response to all of it.

I said it because it's something a lot of companies do, and also they look very similar. It's not meant to be a knock on Korg. I like Korg and own Korg products.
The official white house spokesperson said it was a secret message:

I don't see a conspiracy at all. Sentiment analysis of the news shows a strong shift to fear and anger. Those emotions drive engagement. People here didn't like when the Facebook news feed was surfacing these things to the top to drive engagement, but seem to be more OK with human editors doing it.

> There are literal mountains of sociological studies on how (state and corporate) media have been in service of the powers that be, for __millennia__, and how exactly this works.

Fixed it. There are historical evidence that this has gone on in some form or fashion in ancient empires (e.g., Roman, Egyptian, Chinese), be it written or the town crier.

There have always been people who knew this was going on, spoke up, but were considered crackpot, conspiracy theorist, or simply beheaded.
The question I wanted to raise is: are state-of-the-art artificial intelligences gaining the ability to create control loops, i.e. systems with goals and sensors.
I'm slowly starting a blog, and this is something I have struggled with. For now, I am writing the blog posts in markdown but then supplement the posts with notebooks so that there's clean and complete code without in-between versions.

I have often thought that it would be nice to just write the articles fully in the notebooks, but it's not ideal. One thing is that articles often build up ideas where providing code is often better to just show the complete pieces. Having everything in one notebook muddles these two things. Also, converting notebooks to markdown ot HTML/CSS/JavaScript is not all that straightforward when your notebook includes LaTeX and Mermaid diagrams.

So for now, I'm sticking with articles in markdown supplemented with notebooks. The downside is that the notebooks are not standalone.

Thanks for sharing, Paulo. Reading it now.

A question that comes up for me regarding model as service providers (such as your employer) is PII and privacy. Recommend you follow up with a tutorial on anonymizing PII when using public APIs (with api access keys bound to your email-cum-identity).
> My takeaway is that for truly private chat one should write his own software using simple crypto without all those fancy clients.

That‘s actually pretty secure in practice, because you won‘t be communicating with anybody.

> Ideally just use one time keys and xor everything.

How do you generate the keys? How do you share them? And you only care about encryption, authentication does not matter to you at all?

The chance of getting this right as an individual developer, especially given this level of understanding of cryptography, is next to zero.
Signal did notoriously not update their repositories for a while when they implemented their cryptocurrency scheme into the app.

If you're basing your trust on their open source software, you should also run a client you've compiled yourself (after auditing the code, of course).
Not OP, but in my experience, two methods actually work for me

1. Use SRS (spaced repetition system) like Anki to learn a difficult-to-read language. Slowly but consistently ~1 hour a day learn mandarin or japanese. Personally I managed to get JLPT N3 this way in ~2 years.

2. Specific to muslims: Memorize the Quran with the Itqan method [0]. Literally intense drilling by reciting 100+ times for a page of Quran a day by looking the page then 100+ times not looking. Can spend 2-4 hours easily for a page.

Personally Itqan method is way harder than SRS but retention is faster and stronger even without revision for months.
Other than overhead, what is the advantage as opposed to handling the interrupt in the kernel and then delivering a signal to userspace? After all, isn't this the role of SIGPROF?

very entertaining. I do feel sometimes that these systems get a bit too stuck in a cycle when their responses are really long and the user's responses are short. Because the last few thousand tokens from the conversation are used, it's data is dominated by what it itself has already said, which is why the repetetiveness once it got onto the love topic
It depends on where the tech is and what people do with it.

Transformers have only been around for like 5 years. and GPT 2 was around 2 years old. GPT3 is 6 months old.

‘Whore themselves’ as in getting jobs abroad? If that’s what you mean then I stand by my comment, plenty of capable people had success in the sense of achieving a more or less decent lifestyle. Some of them got rich too but those are the outliers and not who I had in mind.
Thanks for providing that data.

This shows the acceleration of CO2 emissions is more than 2-3X the rate of simple assumption in my original post; i.e., it is more of a straight line up from 1950 vs 1850.

So, while my original simplified calculation overstates a static relationship of human output vs Siberian Traps Permian Extinction output by the same 2-3X, it also shows that we're accelerating into the meaningful danger zone at a far faster rate.

Accelerating into the danger zone at a far faster rate — a steeper slope — will cause far more damage sooner than accelerating more slowly from a high Y-intercept point.

Moreover, despite multiple "Climate Agreements", there is no significant decrease in the slope of fossil fuel consumption or CO2/CH4 outputs (except for a dip in the pandemic).

The original point, that human greenhouse gas outputs relative to that of the greatest extinction in the 4.5 billion year history of the planet, is NOT some trivial 6 orders of magnitute lower as we'd expect from "a quarter million years of volcanic belching". Human output rates are in fact coming within two orders of magnitude the extinction rates, definitely on the same scope and scale, and are rising crazy fast.

The fact that it is mostly in the last 7 decades is not comforting, it is far worse

So, thanks for pointing that out.

The things you put into ChatGpt might come back out?

A new SEO (GptEO?) arms race has begun.
On one hand there is the "unreasonable" person who wants to get ChatGPT to write Hitler speeches or sadistic stories about sexual violence.

On the other hand I'd say the Chinese Communist Party is much more "reasonable" and they'd like to use AI to support their surveillance state to stay in power. I am singling them out which isn't entirely fair because there are many actors out there who are less ethical and less responsible. For instance you have the tech support and romance scammers that could really benefit from ChatGPT's hypnotic ability. (That hypnotic ability is how ChatGPT impresses people with its writing skill despite frequently being completely wrong in terms of content.)
