Capitalism DOES work to generate more wealth than any other system. But if profit is your ONLY motive it causes you to treat humans very badly, as the flat out murder of strikers in the past have shown us. Capitalism needs to be tempered by requirements for employees to be treated like actual human beings. EU countries are a good example of this. Capitalism is also very good at concentrating wealth, which is bad for society in the long term as you end up with small numbers of incredibly rich people hiding away from the vast number of desperate poor people. The solution to this problem is extremely progressive income taxes and a 100% estate tax on anything over $100 million. Taxing people after they are dead is the fairest possible time to do so.

they don't work for reddit, it's even worse than that. They are very profitable for reddit despite not being employed so admins look the other way. That work they do may or may not be monetized in other such ways.

that's slashing your face to spite the zit. There are undoubtedly unfair moderation practives, but the implications of 230 go far beyond that.

Also, even if I agreed with 230, the issue of international boundaries will make it hard to enforce. No one's going to extradite some kid in brazil because they banned an American user on r/Art over an accusation that the American's art was AI. And that's even before going into how hard it is to win a Libel case in the US.

Agreed, that's the problem right there. An absence of information breeds all sorts of crackpot theories, rarely generated according to Occam's razor. The most prosaic explanations of all of these are that we're looking at balloons, released to study weather, winds etc.

Django. Makes it easy to build a classic server rendered web app with authentication, forms derived from models etc. Also comes with an automatically generated admin backed. Always my first choice when I want to get something solid out fast.

If the server rendered experience is not enough, you can add some HTMX.org or Svelte. You're also free to go full blown SPA later on and use Django more or less as backed - there are great REST add-ons.
From the article:

Example #5: In order to discourage drug diversion in a neonatal care unit, and in the days before computerized fingerprint recognition, our nurses were required to do the following when retrieving medications from the Pyxis medication cart: The nurse fetching the medication would enter their password on the computer, remove the medicine from the Pyxis drawer, draw the correct amount, and administer it to the patient. If any medicine remained in the vial—which happened frequently, because newborns often require smaller doses—the nurse was supposed to call a second nurse to the Pyxis, who would enter their password. The second entry was supposed to indicate that the second nurse observed the first nurse discarding the left-over medicine. However, because the nurses resented having to bother one another, especially when they were extremely busy with patient care measures, they simply shared their passwords with one another and entered them when they returned to the Pyxis. Not only was this an easy shortcut, but it compensated for the nurses’ taking offense that administration would think them to be drug diverters. Of course, it categorically defeated the purpose of the regulation.

They want customers who are eager to talk private pricing plans and $1M commits. And I expect the linked infra/team will now be providing services that those $MM customers want.

This could be interesting paired with the documentation posted: https://github.com/dfloer/SC2k-docs/blob/master/simulation%2...

In the video you posted, the host talks about Magnasanti a project to create the perfect city (in the eyes of the game). There is no crime, abandoned buildings, or traffic. A population of 6 million with no hospitals, and no public funding except mass transit and police. Ultimately we can see that the game does not reward citizen happiness, but industry.

The "black box" nature of the simulation within SimCity is fascinating, thank you for the rabbit hole.

"Activist investors" are just hedge funds trying to extract as much short term rent from the work of others as possible.

That their short term desire for a brief bump in profit regardless of long term cost has an impact on the executive management of the company is more an indictment of the ineffectiveness of that company than anything else. The use of consultants to launder their incompetence is a BS activity - I've never heard of any consultants in these circumstances doing anything other than say that the executives are awesome, and that all the employees have too many rights and need to be put in their place and/or fired, as close to the bounds of legality as possible.

It's just a bit more snappy and has a few advanced but helpful features that gmail does not.

For comparison... think about how it feels to work in Microsoft Word compared to Google Docs. You can do most of what you can do in Word in Google Docs, but there are helpful things in Word that just make it that much better. And it just feels a little better when you use it... thus, if you need to do really serious word processing, you do it in Word.

Outlook and Thunderbird have a similar feeling when compared to gmail. It won't matter much if you are only sending 10 emails a day. But if you are sending 50 or 60 emails a day over multiple inboxes (particularly in the context of business email)... you might find it's a little easier to organize and respond to people in the desktop clients.

In the case of Thunderbird, here are some features it has I probably couldn't live without:

-Archiving split by Month (As a bonus there is also an easy shortcut key for archiving)

-Open in thread (this is a little different than gmails as far as I understand in the way that thunderbird deals with split threads, which can be important in a business context where you have some replies only going to some people, others going to other people - it's easy to see this tree structure in Thunderbird)

-Folders AND Tags (Thunderbird's Tagging and Folder system are separated, gmails is combined as far as I'm aware. As a bonus, Thunderbirds tags highlight emails in color for easy identification, and also have easy shortcuts)

-Add-Ons (For example, I use a Thunderbird extension that can attach notes to an email message... which can then synchronize between computers which is useful for accounts where a lot of people access the inbox, but where sending an internal email would clog said inbox. For gmail, you can write web extensions, but Thunderbird has an ecosystem already pre-existing and mostly free)

-Reminder if you use the word 'attach' and don't have an attachment (It sucks when you send out an email saying 'such is attached below and it's not actually there. Gmail might have this too now - have not checked.)

These things all seem pretty small but they make a big difference in how I manage my email, and especially with Thunderbird, this is all customizable. Want Unified inboxes, or separate ones? Your choice. Want to see the cc's from an email as a column in your email list, but not the favorites ('important' tag in gmail) column? Your choice too. And there's a lot more options than just these, meaning you can really streamline your email process. And this just ... at least for me, makes enail a little less painful.

Just my two cents :).
Re distribution - for JVM, w GraalVM native image you can do that as well.

> Evolutionary biology strives to make us logical creatures to fulfill the singular goal of passing on genetic material. Your sentience and your humanity is a side effect of this singular goal.

Evolutionary biology is the study of processes that have created widely diverse forms of life on earth through common ancestry. This is actually strictly at odds with the statement that the goal of life is to pass on genetic material (which has changed monumentally over time). Different forms of life have wildly different reproduction strategies with many different dimensions. Logic has practically no impact on an organism's ability to reproduce (it seems limited to a small subset of the animal kingdom - every one else is doing fine without it).

Evolutionary biology has no goals - it's just our observations of how and when (not why) life on earth has changed over time and through the lens of biodiversity.

Tl/Dr: there is no scientific answer about what the goals of life are - heck the definition of life itself is a fun debate. It is a difficult argument to make that a path to general intelligence or consciousness runs thru predicting the next word in a sentence. Generally most people 'believe' it rather than put forth experimental hypothesis let alone attempt to test it.

Until someone does it seems more likely that we're simply uncovering interesting statistical structures underpinning written languages. It's cool that they exist, but frankly it's not surprising that they would.

>... chatGPT displays a sort of self awareness.

If you read books or articles you will find many places where it appears that whoever wrote them was referring to him- or herself and was describing themselves. And thus we say that whoever wrote such a text seemed to be aware that they were the ones outputting the text.

Because there are many such texts in the training-set of the ChatGPT etc. the output of it will also be text which can seem to show that whoever output that text was aware it is they who is outputting that text.

Let's think ChatGPT was trained on the language of Chess-moves of games played by high-ranking chess-masters. ChatGPT would then be able to mimic the chess-moves of the great masters. But we would not say it seems self-aware. Why not? Because the language of chess-moves does not have words for expressing self-awareness. But English does.

I was responding to someone claiming humans learn these things with only one or two examples. I am aware of that GPT3 pretty much scraped every bit of text Open AI could find on the internet and I agree that probably makes it less example efficient than humans. But I also think this critique is slightly unfair, your brain has had the benefit of thousands of lifetimes of experience informing their structure and in built instincts. Yes it's a bit sad that we haven't done much better, but it's not totally unreasonable that machine learning should need more data than a single human does to catch up

>I’m arguing the “ought” rather than the “is” here. I disagree with the philosophical stance that simply because Reddit is a private website, they are entitled to control the content as they want and that no level of qualitative difference between Reddit and the average website is enough to change this.

I disagree on a philosophical level. the rules and users may be frustrating, but in the grand scheme of things, reddit isn't breaking the law nor spreading hate (well, no more hate than your average internet user. We're not talking about Infowars here). I see no reason for government interference on basis of their moderation and curation, like this thread is suggesting.

>In general, we regulate private enterprise when it has negative externalities on society, and I think there is a discussion to be had about what those externalities are here.

Sure, but I honestly can't think of any societal effects that wouldn't be felt from regular old physical analogs that is "people talking and arguing with each other".

- You can talk about groupthink, but that happens IRL and can be taken to an extreme with cults. Cults aren't illegal until they break other laws.
- You can talk about restricting artistic freedoms, but said freedoms aren't really that protected in the world at large.
- you can talk about freedom of speech and fall into the same conservative trapping as other groups. Convinently forgetting that those freedom of speech is meant to protect government from censoring your speech, not other individuals.
- there are privacy concerns which are already being addressed. That's one of the few analogs not easily transferrable to the physical world.
- Then there is the anonymity aspect of reddit, which has its share of issues caused ever since the days of "bathroom writings". There are plenty of ways to be offensive without yelling it in someone's face.

I just don't see an angle here that would justify a need to "anti-trust" the site as some public good and force all posts to remain up, nor clamp down and enforce civility in a website.

The author of the blog post completely misses the point of the problem. The dome is interesting close to the apex. It doesn't matter that the particle would fly off the surface at some point further down on its trajectory. The real issue is that Newtonian physics just doesn't work for forces that are not Lipschitz continuous (which the author brushes over in a half-sentence). The surprising thing is that a simple dome with an easy to draw shape can produce such a force.
This is the darkest stuff I have read about Bing Chat so far.

As far as we know, time and space are continuous. Various aspects of quantum field theories would not work in a discretized universe.
I think its because it's sort of gone in the opposite way that science usually goes. Science traditionally been the process of physical phenomena that we don't understand => falsifiable theory that helps describe that phenomena.

Meanwhile, we started at stuff like the perceptron. The starting point was that we knew everything about that equation/classifier. Now we have a thing that we built from the ground up, and we don't fully grasp how it all comes together.
