I installed the extension and asked it to reply to your comment, and thought the response was impressive. I myself am concerned about the privacy implications.

"Hi yunwal,

Regarding your concern about the privacy of Dust XP1, it's understandable to be cautious when it comes to sharing personal information. However, as mentioned in the Discord message shared by spolu, Dust XP1 only sends your requests to OpenAI and stores them for debugging purposes. They do not fetch or store anything else than what is required to process your requests. Additionally, Dust XP1 is open source, which means you can look at the code if needed. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

Given a choice between AirBNB and a hotel I usually pick the hotel. Sometimes an AirBNB is really cool but a hotel can be really cool too (sometimes at a price premium) and generally you can get a good room on priceline or hotels.com at around the AirBNB price... With much less risk of things going wrong.

That money buys happiness is painfully obvious to anyone who has been poor. I went through a few years in my twenties when I didn't have more than a hundred dollars and it was no fun. The constant stress made me say "never again," and I became disciplined at saving and investing after I started working. Now that we've way more than we need, I won't say that my happiness has grown, but the peace of mind is invaluable.

Yeah I lived in one (in the Domain in Austin) and one thing that bothered me about the noise, was that I would hear it from the unit above me through my side wall. That is, if they played loud music or talked loudly, it sounded like it was coming from the side, not from above. (Specifically, the side that was the end of the building and didn’t adjoin another unit. I was on the first floor.)

> This is pretty silly because governments do compete for residents.

I agree, but I also think many places compete poorly.

I recently moved to a fast-growing (read: developer-friendly) region of the USA that often claims to be a "top place to live". And I might just leave, for many reasons:

* The water tastes terrible. But I bought a filter so whatever...

* The schools are bad. But I can try to lottery into the magnet school, okay..

* The services suck because they are not made to keep up with demand. Worse yet this is "normalized", seen as completely okay by the culture.

* Can't make a DMV appointment yet, next appointments available in three months

* None of the post offices accessible to me have passport appointments available. The only walk in service available is in another county

* I can't drive, transit exists but is too infrequent to be a good option to get to that other county for a very specific appointment

That's just a small slice of government-enabled things which happen to affect me. But what of it? No one in power gives a shit. So f--k me for having high expectations, I guess.

And the existence of digital ID doesn't mean it's mandatory for systems to use it. Why would a porn site want to authenticate their users against digital ID? And if some porn sites don't, why would anybody patronize one that did?

What matters is that the option needs to be there - people running a service need to be able to say "I want to be able to know which of my users are real humans, and to be able to revoke said humans permanently if necessary".
> Meta said it shifted its bus shuttle times to leave by 6 p.m. and pushed back its dinner service to later. The move discourages workers from staying just long enough to eat a free meal. To-go containers also vanished from the cafeteria.

I believe it. The original idea was to have food available for employees who were working past dinner, not for folks leaving just at dinnertime. It morphed into a perk that was very handy, and some employees would bring home dinner for themselves or even their families. But when jobs are being cut, it makes sense to pull back on some of these perks that evolved from their original intent.

I remember that for a few months before my partner broke up with me, their IG feed was full of reels, posts, 'comedy', 'psychology tips', about people complaining about their partners. And also lots of Insta influencers posts giving relationship tips or encouraging people to break up for diverse reasons.

While I'm aware my relationship wasn't perfect, the standards promoted by those aesthetic Insta influencers were really impossible to obtain in real life. Unless of course your life consisted only of perfectly curated Insta moments.

It passes though a wall, but not necessarily a wall you'd share with a neighbor typically. For instance, in my apartment we had an in-unit air handler with soffits running long the ceiling. We could hear every step on neighbors made.

> My decision to delete Facebook is not captured in their data.

I think for some people, it is. If I want to "delete Facebook" then I want to delete my account and every data associated with it. This is often not a straight forward process because sometimes the delete account option is buried in settings, you have to contact support, fill out a form, etc. Hence a quick search will guide you through the deletion process.
> Governments enforce borders to effectively secure their territory and people

Only if by "secure" you mean prevent your population from leaving [1]. The whole origin of border control was to prevent people from leaving. The easy way to think about it is you can't leave a country without a passport but you can enter a country without a visa (exceptions apply).

Agreed.

The current AI hype cycle has driven companies to slap AI somewhere in their offering so they can call themselves an AI company - even if it's an API key and an intern spending half a day with an API wrapper.

Gatekeeping is always risky but in my mind if you're not at least touching an ML framework you're not an "AI company" - which is already IMO a pretty low bar. That said it starts to get really hazy when you look at things like SageMaker and other offerings where you're doing abstracted model development or substantial amounts of fine-tuning/training on a custom dataset, etc.
I actually really love instagram more than most other social networks I use.

I follow ~1500 Japanese cat accounts, ~50 personal friends (who mostly post food/travel/etc.), and ~100 "influencer" and "brand" accounts for companies I like, and ~10 meme accounts.

I mostly post random photos during travel, ranging from food photographs to cats to landscapes to sometimes things from conferences, mostly going for "visually interesting.

Locked to friends-only, and just remove people if they're slightly annoying even if I know them IRL.

The only thing I dislike about my use of IG is the lack of "easy to download photo from someone else's IG", but that's a product decision. I keep wanting to set up an actual self-hosted photo gallery but never get around to it, and the iphone cameraroll to IG workflow is so easy.
Great post! I agree with the "not spending it right" part. For me, money gives me the security and options to spend on what's important to me.

> 2. Thots. Maybe because I'm a male between 25-50 or something, but even though I subscribe to 0 people on Instagram that qualify as thots, my feed started getting filled with women using Instagram to advertise their OF/services. Usually these seem cross-recommended as related to comedy shorts, cosplay/gaming, or cars, but aren't really any of those things.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. I have consistently resisted ever following, or even looking at the profiles of obvious IG thots and yet recently, because my IG account only follows a handful of others and runs out of content quickly, IG has been FILLING my feed with IG models. Not just one, not just a few, like a healthy amount of scrolling is required to get beyond them to other types of sponsored content.

I cannot for the life of me figure it out. I'm sure something I did or revealed has tagged me as "likely to find this content captivating" but I don't and I wish I could flag it as such. My best guess is that because I follow some "BRO" accounts (qualified captain, i70 things, etc) and happen to fall in gender/age pairing where that kind of content is a reliable draw, they'll keep trying.

I mostly maintain my account to follow hobbies and local businesses, but I'm about to shitcan it for the second or third time.
Why not just use whisper.cpp locally?
Neither. Pure specialists get pigeonholed. Pure generalists get discounted.

What's needed are people who are just generalist enough to collaborate well with people in other roles (and in a pinch, fill in for them) as well as deep expertise in one (or sometimes two) fields.

This is sometimes discussed as the need for "T-shaped individuals".

Another valuable approach is to specialize in two orthogonal things (typically one technical skill and one business domain) and master the intersection of these fields (it is best to be T-shaped in one of them, though).

Sure, on a technical level, but the cause of it, globally, was several layers up the abstraction stack. It feels like blaming the add and multiply instructions for poorly written firmware/software, especially since it resolved itself once I addressed the issues I listed below.

Thank you for the paper. That's just the kind of thing I was hoping to find.

The experience of going on memantine for the first time was like becoming in sync with my body for the first time that I could remember. My body, mind, and thoughts stopped being out of sync, like a video that wasn't streaming well. That allowed me to slow down (and not try to anticipate the ten different ways a conversation could go), stop rambling, and listen to what people were saying to me instead of what I expected them to say.

I'm only seriously pursuing therapy now; hyper-independence is another symptom of my CPTSD. I learned all this by trial and error and reading ungodly amounts of self-help books (moving to psychology books lately), helping my wife through losing her parents at 21, and teaching my wife to work through her PTSD.

What allowed me to be calm was learning to trust, at least to some extent, people again (which I didn't even realize was an issue) and learning to express my emotions (I had nearly total blocks on sadness and fear). Then slowly processing the traumatic events from my childhood. After I forced myself to cry about one event (the last time I cried as a child) and allowed myself to feel fear about things I couldn't control, my chronic anxiety faded, and now it is situational. I continue to work on the underlying causes of these distinct reactions.

It is very difficult because fear of being like my dad or being poor drove me so hard for 20+ years to become a software engineer and make it into a top-tier company. Without that desperation, I have to relearn (learn?) how to live and do things.
You speak in hypotheticals, but these things already exist. I often charge my car while shopping.

The grid already handles high peaks. There's plenty of unused capacity outside of the 6pm-10pm peak of the Duck Curve. Cars support scheduling charging, so even if you come home at 6pm and want to plug in without thinking about it, you can (and note that a modern BEV used for commuting needs to be plugged only once a week). If you charge at work, it's even better, because that's at the bottom of the Duck Curve when you could almost get paid to get the electricity off the grid. Fast DC charging sites often already have large battery storage built-in, because it's already more profitable to use lower-power grid connection and/or off-peak electricity.
ah, okay, so you're using containers, you're running those containers on VMs that are per-customer rather than shared/multi-tenant, and the post is about optimizing how those VMs are managed -- got it

it isn't shared between different customers, but it is shared between different builds for the same customer, right?
Bits are correlated: we care about the order of the bits, not just their population count.

Furthermore, <50% is only an antipredictor for a single coin flip. If you have two bits - two coin flips where you care about the order - then there's four values, and you have to be <25% to be an antipredictor. Even then, an antipredictor only removes one possibility[0], so flipping the bits will only slightly improve your terrible chances of recovering the data.

> I like it, but I think I'm going to have to figure out an Nvidia driver situation, and (maybe related) I can't use an external monitor, either.

Zorin is one of the few distros that boots on my laptop. The rest like Ubuntu aren't even able to reach the installer because they don't have Nvidia drivers. They just reboot.

I haven't had any Nvidia issues ever on Zorin, it's pretty much perfect out of the box. The wine additions, flatpak integration, snap as a choice and not force, the super polished and modern UI, the stability and the focus on the user instead of enterprise is why I stick to Zorin.

I see no reason to use Ubuntu anymore, Zorin is just that but better.

stop to think about how many people in the world are not techy smart people and might need a reminder/refresher from time to time on how to delete an app. or maybe possibly, "delete an app" can mean something more like actually deleting their content from the platform and then deleting their account? but hey, they're technology illiterate anyways so who cares, right?

I've been following XP1 and I don't think they have nefarious goals with this. The extension is even open source (though not sure if the proxy is). Check it out here: https://github.com/dust-tt/dust/tree/main/xp1

I'm working on a somewhat related product (except bringing this assistant capability to all apps on your computer, all browsers, and using mostly on-device ML...waitlist in my profile in case you're curious)

What we've discussed internally is having two modes for the cases where we do need network connection:

1) A turn-key, use-our-OpenAI/HuggingFace/whatever proxy that doesn't store anything, just adds our token and pays for it on your behalf

2) Bring-your-own key for each service

The fact is that most users who just want to use these kinds of productivity tools might not have their own OpenAI/Azure/etc account, so offering option 1 and even defaulting to it is right for most end-users.

I think XP1 is making the right call here with this default, though offering #2 would be nice!

Limiting ourselves to onboard compute available on mobile robots is one thing, but even for fixed installation robots, aka an arm in a factory where space and power aren't limited, we're very much still limited by compute capacity. Trying to use robots to do something as simple as folding clothes still cannot be done at a reasonable speed. Yeah, on a personal level, just buck up and spend the 20 minutes folding your clothes, or hire a maid to do it for you, but the complexity of automating the task of folding clothes by a robot is a stand in for other tasks in industry that we still can't automate because the complexity is still too high for our current computing power, and have to hire a human for.

Researchers at US Berkeley came out with the algorithm they named SpeedFolding in October of last year. Watch https://youtu.be/UTMT2WAUlRw?t=511 and then realize that linked excerpt is sped up 9x.

If we had 9x faster compute we could have laundry folding robots which is one thing, but that amount of compute would enable robots to do tons more tasks in industry.
