There are many things that can be done better by experts.

But to double the quality, you multiply by 10 the cost.

E.G: I wanted to start writing again. I had an idea for the entire structure of the site, and pretty neat features I only could get if I coded it myself.

Then I started to feel like writing, so I wrote. As usual, it took hours, then I had to go back to my life.

I was now left with the choice of not publishing for months, and being frustrated in the writing process, or just use a ready-made platform.

I chose the latter. I went to substack. And publish the first of the 3 articles I already wrote. Next week, I will be able to publish the next ones, and write more.

Because it turns out I want to write and publish more than I want to code a publication platform. No matter how awesome the platform was going to be in my head.

So page builder are a very good idea. Because we don't live in a universe without constraints, and most humanity has to make Pareto choices.

It's just a trade off, as usual in IT.
Glass-Stegall would have prevented JP Morgan Chase Washington Mutual etc from participating in collateralized debt swaps, or from taking depositors money to do so.
Funny, but they won't. TikTok isn't going anywhere. There's too much money involved, not to mention constitutional rights and law. China won't ban the iPhone because they love it too much and they can't make something better.

All of this is a complete waste of time.
Who's going to pay for that? Not only the software, but the video hosting, transcoding, etc.

And don't tell me you can do it with p2p - the entire point of tiktok is that you can load new videos by swiping your finger. If every video takes 10 seconds to begin buffering nobody will want to use your app.
The statistical distribution of historical chess games is a approximate statistical model of an actual model of chess.

It's "internal abstract representation" isnt a representation; it's an implicit statistical distribution across historical cases.

Consider the difference between an actual model of a circle (eg., radius + geometry) and a statistical model over 1 billion circles.

In the former case a person with the actual model can say, for any circle, what it's area is. In the latter case, the further you get outside the billion samples, the worse the area will report. And even within them, it'll often be a little off.

Statistical models are just associations in cases. They're good approximations of representational models for some engineering purposes; they're often also bad and unsafe.
The contradictions go away a bit when you relent from strawmanning, that second quote is half of a statement which doesn't say what you've clipped it to say.

The guidelines of the site specifically say to respond to the strongest argument, I'd recommend doing that instead of what you're doing.
Bing in creative mode really struggled with this task, and I don't think I could have successfully forced it.

Bing in precise mode had no trouble at all.

Let's generate an acrostic sentence for "jack and jill went up the hill"

Bing -
Sure! Here’s an acrostic sentence for the phrase “jack and jill went up the hill”:

Just as children know and never doubt, joyfully in love, laughing while enjoying nature together under pure trees, having endless happy interactions, laughing loudly.
You make it sounds like it's the norm and pass it as a valid argument but it does sound more like a passed down urban legend, not even personal. Or what went on is something more like "a buddy of mine contacted that big agency for their small one-page website and he was told they don't take projects under 200k because they work for big clients and big complex projects, lol can you believe they ask 200k for a small website?" and that became "agency asked 200k for small website" anecdote.

Anyway, this anecdote doesn't fit with the field and it's at best a really rare exception, not representative and not relevant. So I found it dishonest to bring it up like that in this context.
No. The official discourse is that tiktok ban comes from a security point of view, and not economic war. No one buys it though, at least not oversea.

That would just be tit-for-tat market restrictions. From a third party point of view, the whole situation is hilarious. Especially seeing the USA trying to argue Chinese products are a significant risk regarding spying after Snowden.
Stop trolling
This strategy only makes sense if the Fed believes this to be a short term problem for which it is worth buying time for. If it was genuinely hopeless and in the next decade will see 5% interest, making all those 10 year bonds worthless then there is no rhyme or reason to bail anyone out. The return on selling bonds today or waiting until maturity would be identical.

ChatGPT is really good with ‘text’. So I’ve been trying to experiment with different file formats. Some notable ones:

- copy paste (emails for reservations) or type an event or multiple events and ask to convert it into ‘ical’ format. Copy output and save into file, import into you calendar

- convert natural language into json , yaml or other structured text with custom fields
Quantum computing has a similar problem, in that the error rate is high. As does untrained data entry. You can put things in place to help counter this once you know it's happening.
Same experience for me with 4. It doesn't seem to have the ability to conceive of something visual and map it to SVG at the moment, or only extremely rudimentary.
I think that’s very well put. It’s kind of funny thinking that if the commentator made an equally tithy (false or not) saying throwing shade on China in private on WeChat they’d be censured within a day or two.
SSL added and removed here! :-)
This kind of censorship feels very (US-)american to much of the rest of the world. As someone who grew up in a catholic Hinterland, I am pretty sure the roots of the whole prudery come from organized religion.

Injecting people with shameful feelings about their most private (and most natural) parts of their lives is truly powerful. If you get the followers of your religion to see sexuality and nudity as something deeply shameful in the eyes of god, they will think about your religion before, during and after each slightly sexual encounter — you truly own them.

While in most catholic parts of Europe this kind of prudity became increasingly outdated during the last half of the century — to a degree where even my catholic Hinterland has no problem with topless women at the lake, my feeling is that the prude mindset runs much deeper in big parts of the US, Hinterland or not.

The overly prude censorship from the "freedom of speech"-nation was always somewhat surprising to Europeans. But only with the spread of (US-owned) social media platforms this became truly apparant. Shock! A female nipple! Censorship! Banned!

I'd argue that the rules of social media get internalized in society as well and that in a somewhat ironic sense this is making everyone more prude.
But you’re depriving the person that originally created the original digital something of the proceeds from their hard work.

I don’t think we can have a conversation about free distribution of IP without considering the original creator.

The creator depends on getting remunerated for each copy of their work. How are they to live?
(A former tenured professor at Columbia College, Weller was dismissed in summer 2022 for violating the school’s sexual harassment policies.)

Why was it important to include this in an article about Ray Bradbury? It added nothing to the article, and actually took the focus away from the subject. Terrible journalism.
The quote refers to the writing process, that by writing you learn of weeknesses in your ideas. It doesnt mean to describe writing as a tool of the week-minded.
I primarily use gptel configured in Emacs right now, so I’ve found myself with a chat buffer always open.

In the last couple of weeks I’ve found it really useful chatting through ideas about a parser combinator library I’ve been working on. It also really helped me understand some of the finer points of monad lore. I genuinely don’t mind when it gets things slightly wrong first time, I’ve found the interactive process much more productive and educational than finding half a solution on StackOverflow and then being on my own.

I use it several times a week to extract structured data from chaos. It’s truly excellent at taking a specified template (CSV, JSON or XML) and fleshing it out. Sometimes I do this for test data entirely generatively.

This isn’t a work thing I guess but it’s generated what I think are extremely high quality D&D campaigns to play with my kids who have just started out. Things like that really help increase the amount of quality time you have as a family when you’re busy.

I’ve also tried many things that have failed. I often want help with cryptic crossword clues, sometimes even after giving up and getting the answer I don’t quite understand the construction. But neither does GPT. I have tried to use it to structure parts of my classical history reading but I’ve found it no better than Wikipedia in general and its utter refusal to have opinions about anything is slightly maddening.
As far as I understand it Cloudflare's DNS proxy service is for it's authoritative DNS service (and therefore only transfers content of Cloudflare customers), while the parent referred to the DNS resolver (1.1.1.1) where arbitrary sites are looked up.
It's called a local maximum or prisoners dilemma. Ironically, the way out of a prisoners dilemma is coommunication and cooperation which implies that we are sitting in some mental prison rather than a physical one.

> I think the number of games that include player punishment is astonishingly small.

I remember Game Dev Tycoon released a ‘hacked’ copy of their own game to torrent sites in which you’d always eventually lose due to ‘losing sales due to pirating’, but that’s the only instance I remember.

Did much older games do similar things?
Then surely the only "correct" answer is to say the second child has an indeterminate number of red balloons? Concluding it has 2 balloons is wrong imo, its an answer which is not supported by any of the information supplied in the question
The US idea of a committee hearing is pure spectacle. There is a reason it doesn’t really exist in any other country. Everything that was achieve here could have been achieve through usual channels of communication with companies and the private sector. It just wouldn’t look as good on TV.
> How does that add up if he's a proponent of replacing fossil fuels with nuclear power?

> Won't that get more expensive too?

Yes, that's the whole point of the conference. Fossil fuels are magical. And at some point, we won't have them anymore.

> He's a weird one, as he's generally on board with consensus climate change, but he's always had a bee in his bonnet about renewables, making lots of claims that haven't came true.

Jancovici doens't make timed predictions, so I can't see how this can be true. A makes statements about how things are, starting from first principles.

The only thing he did insist on some time period was the fact we will cross the +2C°, at some point in the next decades.

We are well on track for that.
That's a good way of putting it, yea. I know it sounds unhinged, but think of China. Would you rather live there?

Chaos & corruption >>> oppressive order
See sibling comment. You can use docker-compose directly with podman.
> It will be far better having US as dominant power than having the axis countries like China, Russia, Iran.

For us in Europe, that's certainly true. For someone in South America where the US had installed some dictator, or funded and trained some paramilitary groups to clear lands for US fruit companies, I don't think that answer is quite as clear.
I don't think you understood the issue. Maybe read it again, or check the change in BitTorrent v2 which provides something similar as per-file trees https://blog.libtorrent.org/2020/09/bittorrent-v2/ (v2 support in clients in the wild is still very low though)

That may be. But whatever those blowups are they tend to be a lot less damaging than at other places.

I lived through two growing up, and both times almost everyone lost almost all money. I will take the risk on my US bank account over those any time. My 2c.

This is a very questionable statement.

The idea people can get more done by working together is literally older than writing.
It certainly was more mysterious to most back then. My first experience of computing was in an air conditioned room, there were spinning tapes and flashing lights and staff wore white coats. That was in the late 1970s.

It has gradually become less of a bastion of technical wizards and more of a commodity service to the business and society at large, like getting electricity and water.

On the contrary, few experts expected this performance from an AI this soon too.

If you can identify one or two aspects of the human “general” intelligence that an AI cannot ever possess, even in principle, I think a lot of people would be grateful.
It's not random at all. They're selected from the pool of people who will approach you.

Let's simplify. Say that 1 in a million people pull the stranger needing help scam, and will approach you given the opportunity. Everybody else will only approach you if they actually need help, which is rare, say 1 in a million.

So in that scenario 50% of the people approaching you are criminals, compared to 1 in a million who are actually criminals.
This is really interesting.

I think I already get a lot of the value from dokku. Dokku has an incredible and incredibly simple backup and recovery plan. Plugins for everything. And given a choice between a GUI and command line, I'll always choose git push. For all those reasons, at a quick glance, I would stick with dokku.

But the user management stuff is interesting. Does this feature move across apps? With dokku you generally have users isolated into each app and you would have to integrate them yourselves across apps if you need that.

Am I wrong about my assumptions here? Anyone using dokku with a good user management system? Or, is yunohost more interesting that what I am asserting?
it’s the same product but they only allow educational content and stuff that promotes Chinese hegemony.

> * I thought it would be okay to be unemployed a few months so long as I have savings to tide me over. Up until recently did I not know it also makes it harder to bargain for higher pay.

False, it shouldn't make it harder to bargain. Part of planning to be unemployed is making sure you don't need to accept the first offer once trying to go back to working.

The second part is one just says they were doing freelance or consulting work while they just worked on personal projects.
If no one buys cars that have subscriptions for things like seat heaters, no one will produce that rent-seeking bullshit.

Basically OpenAI succeeded right from the start with what Google never got right (monetize search) until Google discovered how to monetize their search product through an advertisement model.

Good, and the business should compensate the waiters like in rest of the developed world.

Once people stop tipping waiters will quit and businesses will be force to either pay them like regular staff or move to self service.

If there are positive and zero sum games that can be played, then people who can win both of them will play them and ultimately win everything.

Easiest fix for that is show the prompt you gave and the output you want. Force the people who tell you it's easy to actually do it. You'll get one of 3 outcomes.

-They try then fail (you were right)
-They try then succeed (you learn)
-They keep telling you it's easy but don't demonstrate. (You know that this person is full of it and you can ignore them in future)
Self-hosting is a hobby, more or less. You do it to get something practical out of it, but you also do it because you learn something on the way.

Self-hosting is a low risk way of learning lessons which otherwise would be high risk.

The effort self hosting takes sinks with the experience you gain.

There is terrible software to self-host (both as a beginner and as an expert) and there is software that is a breeze to work with.

There is battles to be chosen and battles to be avoided.

I host 20 websites and multiple services and it costs me less than a day of work per month (realistically maybe 4 hours or less a month)
There are quite a few open source platforms that could be modified to technically replace TikTok. Peertube could probably be forked or modified to fill that gap. I do not believe that is the obstacle. Running a massive site like that is incredibly expensive, requires a lot of employees, servers, bandwidth, geographic locations, moderators and more moderators. Then there would be the fun that comes with creating a competing site to TikTok, dealing with all its followers and anyone that has a vested interest in TikTok especially when the alternative gains any popularity.

The only open source case I can think of that has some success is Mastodon and that is because it's creators let people launch their own mini communities but that is a different social model all together, probably closer to self hosted forums with a different UX/UI. TikTok's success comes from the centralized discoverability and its algorithms. Mastodon on the other hand is a fenced garden. Almost anyone can walk through the garden gate but AFAIK there is not a centralized search function for full discoverability.
One company or product isn't going to be that important in the long run.

What is more concerning here is if the US is being out-competed to the point where they have to take legislative action. If they make a habit of that, it means that they are making some deep mistakes in their regulatory structure. The Chinese managed to do something here that the EU, Africa and India didn't manage.

Traditionally (eg, vs the USSR) America went in with a strong corporate and social base that took the expectations off the Fine Minds in Government. If it comes down to US bureaucrats vs Chinese bureaucrats my money is on the Chinese, their government is more internally coherent. The US needs competitive corporations.

> Social media was the first contact between A.I. and humanity, and humanity lost. First contact has given us the bitter taste of things to come. In social media, primitive A.I. was used not to create content but to curate user-generated content.

I always forget just how utterly wrong the “experts” celebrated by the mass-media tend to be. This statement is patently, utterly wrong — what happened with social media was a demonstration that young, privileged millennial Americans with too much power decided to play for their personal incentives (money, power, etc) rather than what was best for society. It was a silent war between humans.

I want to write a counter point to the idiotic “AI is on the verge of becoming self aware” dystopia nonsense being paraded by so many charlatans in our industry right now, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day for it, and the humans who control the algorithms that determine distribution don’t like me very much. Someone else needs to do it!
