Wouldn't they want this post to be at the top when people search 'phone' and 'open cage data'? Seems like SEO towards correcting this is only helpful. And maybe when GPT updates data, this post gets pulled in, too. The more popular, the better, I'd guess.
I always thought salmonella risk came from poop that could be on the outer shell, so wash the eggs and you can safely eat them raw. Is this not true?

I guess this story is related to the egg beaters product becoming popular, since it was pasteurized.

Twitter and the Changing Research Conversation
But those aren't criminal proceedings, they don't have any of the requirements of a fair trial... are you saying that any time a private institution does anything that can have an adverse effect on an individual, they need to employ the standards of criminal law? have you even remotely considered what that would entail? or you are you just being smarmy online.

also, who would enforce it? say your company gives you a negative review because they don't like your work product - they now need to empanel a jury, and a judge? how is that going to work? if they don't, I'd imagine it'd have to be a criminal penalty because what would be the point if it was just civil? so now the gov't is forcing your company to have a trial over your review? give me a break, dude.
That’s what most of those papers I am calling garbage are: they are not necessarily wrong but they are not interesting. A meta analysis is cheap and easy to do for even an undergrad, and doesn’t require any special insight or foresight.

I think the bigger problem is we have too many people trying to chase after the highest tier of academic achievement relative to what that tier “should” be or was in the past. It’s benchmarked on novelty, but most people doing research are never going to produce any worthwhile novel results - in some cases it’s just bad luck but in most I think it is just lack of aptitude.

Research is not supposed to just be a resume checkmark, and a PhD isn’t just supposed to be some structured degree program where you can get “on rails” and churn out papers to get a degree proving you have above-average intelligence. But that’s what it is, and it generates tons of noise, while cheapening the value of a PhD.

If I were emperor of the world I’d split research into two tiers where one is more focused on basic science: investigative studies, verifying results, writing papers with solid structure, applying stats. This would be what most people get, and could soak up demand for people getting PhDs with no intention of becoming academics (ie to immigrate, to qualify for some kind of job). And then a second tier of research for the wickedly skilled researchers who are producing novel results and really moving the field forward.

Right now that second group, in most science disciplines, is who progresses in academia anyway. But tons of people are “doing research” and getting advanced degrees based on research in a way that is more like a “basic scientist training program” rather than “moving forward a field of study.”
I don't know of a camera that can write a ticket. My understanding is that the accuser is normally the officer of the court who signed the ticket, after making a determination based upon the camera's recorded video. If you are told that the People of the <State Name> are the accuser, it doesn't seem as if you can be charged criminally, unless all the People of the State are brought into court.

"Past authentication", so you're looking at the https://opencagedata.com/api page. Most people go to the homepage first. Great feedback, we should make it clearer on that page and add examples earlier. Thanks!
If the accused uses "G" universally as his version of "dude" or "bro," then that isn't bias, just maybe a lack of tactfulness. If he uses "G" for guys who wear nice clothes, "dude" for surfer-looking guys, and "bro" for guys with muscles, it is also not racial or ethnic bias. It would seem that a [legitimate] investigator would need at least some kind of information on that before having cause to investigate.

Perhaps the reporter didn't give us all the info from Mr. Sanchez, and there is more evidence of bias then we were informed of.
> All I care about is hiding/obfuscating my personal information.

adnauseam does not do this. It only adds to your personal information. It doesn't hide anything.

> I don’t care if I get wrongly labeled/categorized due to this.

Then you must not care when you suffer the consequences of having been wrongly labeled/categorized. Nobody can make you care about yourself, your money, your safety, or your time if you refuse to.

> It’s not like my profile was an accurate representation of who I am before I turned on ad nauseam.

Again, nobody cares about how accurate it is or not. It's about quantity, not quality. Accurate or not, that data will increasingly impact your life in very real ways. The more data they have, the worse it will be for you.

> One long term benefit of this is that if a lot of people use it, advertisers will start seeing diminishing returns on their investment in internet ads.

this isn't actually true, because advertisers don't care. That's why the world is still and increasingly filled with ads that aren't laser focused on you as an individual. We have more and more ads on network TV, on billboards, on radio etc. None of them were stopped because they sometimes showed an ad to someone who doesn't care about it. Seriously, they don't care. You clicked, that's good enough for them. Sales aren't even always the goal. Being seen (or the appearance of being seen) is often all they need.

You're honestly only hurting yourself.
The small price to pay would be millions of deaths and constant economic anxiety for upwards of a billion people around the globe.

Alternatively we could raise taxes a little bit.
That first link seems dodgy, in the sense of having something to sell. The yield increases are hard to believe also: one ton of peas per acre turning into nine tons, hmm.
And how much would it cost to hydroponic-ify an acre of land, how much to run it, and what about issues such as sterilisation etc

also if you want to maximise yields then you probably head towards monoculture again, and I guess we both agree that's a bad thing.

As far as I know the only thing worth growing at home with hydroponics this actually makes commercial sense is Mary Jane, and that uses a lot of electricity. And radiates a lot of heat that can easily be picked up by helicopter with a thermal camera.
I suppose we are just using different definitions of the word "consent", then.

1. Mastodon is disproportionately a self-selected group of very active social media users. The people who cared the most about the state of Twitter were most likely to care enough to leave Twitter.

2. Twitter has a much higher number of fake and bot accounts.

3. Twitter is much older and thus has a lot more accounts that have been abandoned or are relatively inactive, whereas Mastodon has seen a recent, large influx of new users and thus has a higher proportion of currently active accounts. Also, anyone with a longstanding Twitter account has probably collected a lot of followers and followings over the years who they no longer care much about.

4. Mastodon has attracted specific subsets of the Twitter population, rather than attracting broadly from the general Twitter population. For example, I've seen that software developers have migrated en masse. Thus, there tends to be more activity, because you have a relatively large collection of like-minded or like-interested users. It doesn't feel "lonelier" on Mastodon despite the overall vastly smaller user base when the people you know all happen to be on Mastodon. In fact, my Twitter feed is now a pretty lonely place.

5. As a result of all of the above, Mastodon users feel more comfortable posting and replying. More people you know and like, fewer people you don't know and don't like, not many "drive-by attacks". And Mastodon has technical limitations preventing a lot of the typical Twitter nastiness: no global search, no quote tweets, etc.

6. There are a lot of famous people or entities on Twitter, and a lot of Twitter users are there to passively follow the tweets of those famous people or entities. Whereas there aren't many famous people or entities on Mastodon, and people are generally there for the purpose of interacting rather than for passively following.

Overall, Mastodon now is somewhat similar to how Twitter was during its early days, before all of the ultra-famous people joined. Smaller, cozier. Like Cheers, where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad... sorry.

So, it's an ad for a service where email goes through your servers before reaching mine, for the purpose of removing tracking and hiding my address. This isn't onboarding, this is cross-promotion of another service and it's really F'ing gross.

Messing with the integrity of a web page's content without your users' consent is a gross violation of trust. Doing it inside of a browser extension is adware. Doing it as a privacy-focused company is... a fast way to destroy your image as a privacy-focused company.

If you're manipulating the display of a page that I'm visiting, without an opt-in, and you're being shady about calling it advertising, why should I expect that you're going to treat email with the level of integrity required/expected?

This is a hard red line that you've crossed, especially as a privacy-focused company, and instead of backing down, you're blaming your UI design? Stop. There is no amount of UI work that makes it OK to silently insert your ad into someone else's content.

If you want to cross-promote (please don't, but if you must), you need to do it in a way that makes it clear it's coming from the extension, and not manipulating third-party content without user consent. The second you start inserting your message into a page that I'm reading, is the second that I uninstall your extension and never use it again.

Which is a shame. I like your search product, and I thought that I liked your company's philosophy and goals. Oh well.
McDonald's doesn't have soldiers, but if they did and you allowed them to stay, what exactly would be the problem?

> it is ok for McDonalds, the RIAA, Microsoft, or Elsevier to quarter their soldiers in your house even without asking for permission.

really? trespass and private property are not a thing, or just not in your hypothetical because it would obviously be stupid then? like, are you seriously argue that because the constitution doesn't prohibit people from coming into your homes, people can come into your homes? did you think that through?
Don't be discouraged. Your work is good.

And remember we are 6-12 months off having good, open source chatGPT class open source models and the software support to make it possible to run them at home.

Valve tried the whole "let's get rid of managers" and "taking back power in dev's hands' thing. It always devolve into doers-turned-barons who screw everyone and everything with power struggles and political intrigues. And I say this as someone who finds most managers useless and incompetent.

This is the main problem with Marxist theory. It is a well contrived system of beliefs mixing strong emotions, down to earth realism and an overcomplicated and oververbose theorical development that justifies the existence of its own expertise. All of this form a strong opium for most intellectuals.

In the end it loses touch with reality and its scientific pretense very quickly as the predictions don't meaningfully materialize and it fails to deliver on its promises.

History does not follow a direction. The workers never formed a group united just by virtue of being workers. Humans are not malleable not do they have a good natural state. Reforms have always outperformed radical and violent revolutions. Marxist revolutions were never lead, instigated and started by the workers. It miserably fails at deciding on who actuallt gets the power ans make decisions.

A lot of people blame "capitalism" for societal problems but there are no other reasons given except that those are unique to and caused directly by capitalism; capitalism being whatever exists just by virtue of being outside a marxist/socialist society. This is made evident by the fact that marxist revolutionaries are always confronted by the same problems that those who they overthrown had; and so they become labeled as state-capitalists to excuse their faillings.
love to see flatpak flourishing, it's really great.

i like it because it actually solves problem (getting proprietary software like slack) instead of creating ones and/or getting in the way (i'm looking at you snap).
I use Fedora and this is how I use Flatpak as well. Some software does have some problems when used through Flatpak. I vaguely recall Blender's Flatpak version having some issues. I would also like to see more transparency with who is publishing the Flatpak on Flathub. Maybe I'm just dumb but it is not immediately obvious to me who the publisher is and whether or not this is an officially supported Flatpak application.
Not gonna hurt either, ChatGPT data is not up to date
It also depends on where you live. If you are a suburban or rural kid, playing outside all you want is fine. Let them explore the neighborhood. If you live near a highway though, or a high crime area, then you might want to reconsider what you want to allow. You still need common sense.

My main worry is people who live in relatively safe areas, like a suburban neighborhood, but with neighbors that will STILL call CPS on you for allowing them a little freedom. When I was a kid living in a trailer park we had neighbors like that. Never called CPS, but definitely complained about us being unsupervised despite the fact that the speed limit was a mere 15 MPH, and that we made a point not to bother the neighbors because our parents told us not to. They just saw kids playing and having fun, and decided it was a crime against humanity.

Has extension mentioned obnoxious inline ads as one of things it will be doing?

I think you're missing some of the perspective. It is actually much harder to make a working version of what this company is providing than you describe.

Just the act of running a single VM - to do it right - requires technical expertise (just because you find it easy doesn't mean it is, or that most people would do it right), in addition to maintenance tasks, operational overhead, etc. Deal with the extra infra costs in your corp cloud budget, write the extra software to handle advanced caching on auto scaling instances on multiple platforms, understand how Docker works under the hood (far fewer people know that than you assume)... It is extra work someone has to do that has no bearing on what someone actually wants to be doing, which is just running a Docker build faster.

I would have to assign two engineers to build and maintain this for a medium sized company, at $120K per employee, plus infra cost, plus maintenance, plus the lead time to build it, etc. And they'd probably do a crap job.

So, pay $50 a month for a working solution right now? To increase velocity of sw development, with no other changes? Sign my ass up. It's a tragedy that people don't understand the value here.

Yes, I understand better now. I don't use these sorts of things, so I've never needed to really know how they work practically. I do understand the cryptographic underpinnings.

So, a feature phone could be used for this. Good to know!
It’s not a wrapper, uses psycopg.
No offence, but that sounds like a terrible place to live.
Another solution is the console approach where the platform is secured so people can't cheap. This approach does scale. The PC platform is still playing catch up. Someday multiplayer PC games will be able to prevent cheats from reading / writing its memory or injecting come into the process. They will be able to use remote attestation to prove that they are using the actual game client on not cheater operating system.
I use it mostly out of ignorance, but also because I’m fairly used to aptitude as a packet manager and kubuntu has a pretty solid distribution put together.
> 30 year old movie

It may be a shock but that movie will actually turn 41 this summer.

It seems the author has shown that a replicant can trick a bank.
maybe it's indeed time to let the system package management(apt,rpm,etc) just manage a solid BASE system, and let Flatpak etc to manage their own application sandboxes on top, kind of like dockers.

Appimage is macos flavor, it never needs your sudo to install the package, which is nice.

Flatpak is a redhat flavor(kind of), it needs sudo sometimes, but OK.

Snap is a ubuntu flavor(kind of), it is like systemd that can overtake the whole system, it can install package and even the whole system I was told, too much as a package manager for me.

I don't use Snap. Appimage is not as widely adopted as the rest two? I think Flatpak is a great middle ground.

It will be really cool if KDE and Gnome work together to build this.
NBA star Paul Pierce to pay $1.4M fine for shilling EthereumMax
One reason is 3rd party software. Frequently there is a deb compatible with the last couple of ubu LTS releases. Seems like more frequently than Debian stable releases? There's always things you don't like, are not distro packaged, but have to install for reasons to get work done to get paid. Xilinx vivado being the first example for me that springs to mind but I'm sure there are others and I'm sure I don't know what the next one will be yet. I feel like when it crops up ubu LTS is a better bet than debian stable. I'd love to be shown to be wrong about that.

Running with the crowd has some advantages. Many feet passing on the path before you trample more bugs before you get there etc.

For anyone looking to use debian I highly recommend it and prefer it to any other distro.
By definition, an LLM doesn't have a semantic world model or ontology. Even the most "dumb" (and I use that in quotes because they really aren't) animal is able to reason about uncertain concepts and understands risk and uncertainty.

Slack the company does use Slack the product for inter-company communication. However, their Slack-inside-Slack is a relatively isolated "instance" of Slack on separate infrastructure for exactly that reason. The exact level of isolation/redundancy is not clear to me though.
