Low barriers-to-access for tooling absolutely democratize the creation of things with said tools.

But. It doesn’t meaningfully shift the underlying economic mechanics we live under, where people with access to capital can easily outcompete those without that access. It also erodes the relationship between the laboring class and the capital-deploying class (less interdependence), which has to have knock-on effects in terms of social cohesion and mobility.

I’m very much in favor of the tech being developed right now, but it’s hard to believe it’ll do anything but amplify the trends already present in our economy and culture.
I guess there is no way of estimating how much revenue was actually lost on people who typed in the wrong url and then didn't try again?

Without that piece of data I'm not sure if one can claim that there was a return on this investment - my assumption being that motivated buyers would still try to find the correct url.
Yes, there is a GraphQL API that Twitter's web interface uses, but developers who use the publicly available API can't use that.
You must endlessly google for the first week(s) to learn how to use it. Luckily I have only encountered a few issues where stack did not have an existing answer.

The youtube tutorials out there are sometimes OK but typically mediocre and annoying, so I learned most by having a problem to solve and figuring it out step by step.
Don't worry. Arnold Schwarzenegger is not going to shoot you.
You specifically attacked the publication credibility of bpa studies... So my focus was in providing high quality sources. I assumed you could understand the papers if I linked them.

The summary of those excerpts are "endocrine disruption and hormone modulation"

If that is still jargon to you, the effects of those processes which have been substantially linked to bpa are reproductive problems, developmental delays, and increased risk of certain cancers.
This is not the most cogently written argument ever, but I think the points here are all essentially correct.

The key risk highlighted here which I have not seen as much talk about is the way that these technologies might give shift power from white-collar labor to capital in a drastic way. The ability to build the AI products that people will actually use on a day to day basis seems like something established companies with lots of customer data will be hard to compete with. For example, its pretty trivial for Salesforce to plug a LLM into their products and get pretty good results off the bat.
Something I've been wondering is how many people have left Twitter because of the service's recent instability issues. Because none of the people I know have stopped using the site, despite most being fiercely anti-Musk. It could be that Elon is perfectly OK with letting the site go from 99.99999% uptime to just 99% because he knows nobody will leave, and the engineers behind those extra five 9's were being paid hundreds of thousands.
The LEDs are surface mount (although big surface mount components, so not particularly difficult to work with). I desolder them with hot air (although you can totally do it with a soldering iron), then use them later as any other surface mount LED. I don't have access to YouTube right now, so can't search for you, but there are tons of videos covering how to desolder and solder surface mount components. I'd be willing to bet there are multiple videos covering this for LEDs specifically, too.
I think the author feels that LLM development is only driven by OpenAI and Bard and is ignoring/ignorant of open source LLMs
Invasive species have already shown this to be the case. I swear sometimes academics think something can't be "true" or "known" until there's a paper written about it with a new term to signify the phenomena.
And ChatGPT was trained from tons of copyrighted material. Sounds like fair play.
Bread machines are not to be used for making bread, they are in fact dough machines which mix and knead and pre-rise quit well. Using them this way has the added advantage of being able to bake twice as much in one go since the tin can be filled almost to the top instead of only half. I've been using a knock-off Zojirushi with double paddles - sold in Sweden under the Nordica label, I got it more or less unused from a second-hand shop for peanuts - like this for close to 20 years now. One machine load of dough is enough for two full-size bread tins which I then bake in either the wood-burning oven (in the cold seasons, i.e. autumn-winter-spring) or the electric oven (summer).
You've forgotten what really happened. He was trying to get to Ecuador when the USA revoked his passport. He got stuck at the airport in Moscow as a consequence and was kept there for a long time because the Russians didn't want him either. That's not a defection.
You commented about phases, stages, and lack of money in the economy. Sounds like short term cycles.
Not all countries have the same view on this either. A few countries, including the UK, maintain the view that the AI's operator, owner or custodian hold the copyright instead.

Chrome extension manifest V2 phase-out postponed until 2024
> We're still working on the timeline of the MV2 phase-out plan, so keep an eye out for it in the coming months. We will provide sufficient migration time for developers - at least 6 months of heads-up - before beginning any experiments to turn off MV2 in the browser next year.
The article does appear to agree with you - it proposes 'centralized power' as one of the imminent risks of these technologies.

I drive 181km single journey every week, stay one or two nights and return. As traffic can be challenging, I leave at 05:00 to arrive at 07:00 whereas leaving at 07:00 would add an hour and a half to my commute. When I return, I grab dinner and leave around 18:00, again bypassing rush hours. When driving, I listen to podcasts, not radio, only podcasts. They bring me knowledge and insight. My job at 181km away is awesome, it is not possible to get an equally challenging and satisfying job closer to home. Yes, my commutes are absolutely having a positive impact on my health.
Yeah I guess this isn't true anymore, it looks like maybe it was true in 2.6 days.
I think the language spec is where you would define things so you don't get "WATs". Getting a language that is intuitive and consistent is part of the tricky part.

> If it's forbidden for a human to move a stone with manual labour, then it's also forbidden to move that stone with an excavator.

Sure, but the reverse is false: I can walk on my own feet through Hyde Park, but I can't ride my excavator there.

Laws are made by humans for the benefit of humans, it's a political struggle. Now, large corporation try to exploit loopholes in the existing copyright framework in order to expropriate creators of their works. It's standard uberisation: disrupt existing economic models, insert yourself as a unavoidable middle man and pauperize the workforce the provides the actual service.
I'm more curious to watch and see how they're gonna kick out the assholes from government. If anybody stands a chance to set a good example in that direction, it'll likely be them.
First movers in the AI world who have amassed capital from other endeavours can leverage that capital to amass even more capital by taking advantage of AI before other people can. This will further tilt the scale in favour of large corporations at the expense of workers.

As the techniques improve and cost to implement them decreases, 3rd parties will be able to develop similar technologies, preventing any sort of complete containment from being successful, but not before other peope have been able to consolidate power.
There's some open source tools that attempt to help, but yeah, it's a hard problem.

His "base" is Crypto Bros and conspiracy theorists if Twitter is any indicator.
Releasing something open source does not mean the author has any responsibility for any amount of support, that's the "AS-IS" part of many FOSS licenses. It is ridiculous to present a certain amicability to supporting users as some form of indenture.

LEDs really DO suck and they're not tremendously bothering to "unsuck" them.

You do want to consider kerosine lamps - check out https://www.sevarg.net/2022/10/09/keropunk-part-1-kerosene-l... - browse around and he does some spectrum analysis of LED bulbs, too - https://www.sevarg.net/2023/02/26/feit-electric-wifi-rgb-bul...
It’s your job to decide whether to make the world slightly worse and make an extra dollar, or maintain/improve quality while finding efficiencies elsewhere.

The second option may be more difficult but let’s not pretend there aren’t companies that choose it and succeed.
It's still happening to LEDs as well. Big brands are over driving LED chips, degrading their lifespan significantly.

The story of the Dubai bulbs show that the industry could easily make bulbs that last (even) longer, but there's no money in selling products you'll never need to replace.
The market would solve this in one way or another, not because of the needs of the single developers, but because megacorps need to control their own code and infrastructure. Core competitive advantages are related to information processing in any organization even a factory.

Also attempts for "pausing" for 6 months will fail, because this is Internet and even if OpenAI, Google, Facebook and etc... decide to honor this pledge (and lose competitive age) Chinese government/companies won't stop.

The same discussion was held at the dawn of atomic age after the scientists saw what it may lead to. Never worked in the age of paper communication. Won't work on the age of instant information distribution.
Pausing nuclear bomb development isn't enough. We need to shut it all down.
Come on, just pay for good software.
The numbers do lie I think. I have two Github accounts (work and private). My single Scratch account is also used by my two kids. So Scratch might be even more ahead.

On the other hand, your numbers are accounts, I assume. Not active users
I recently replaced all my bulbs with Waveform Lighting bulbs. They're good but IMO overrated and overpriced, and their shipping prices are absurd. You can get high-CRI bulbs at Home Depot, it's just a matter of trying a couple until you find one that doesn't flicker (use your phone's slow motion camera) if you don't want to go the route of specialty bulbs. My Cree bulbs all flickered but my Philips bulbs did not; to my eye, there's no difference between the cheaper Philips bulbs and the much more expensive Waveform Lighting bulbs.

One of my Waveform Lighting bulbs arrived defective, and it flickers all the time. I couldn't detect the Cree flicker with the naked eye but the defective Waveform bulb flickers visibly. Not sure if Waveform's QA is up to snuff.
1984 and Star Trek’s “Data” androids were also limited by what the public can take in as an interesting story.

Minority Report would be boring if it was logical: the guy would be caught immediately, the end. Instead if moving large disks, they’d use WiFi. Everything would simply not move, every criminal would be caught, nothing interesting would ever happen anymore, except inside some software which can’t be shown on screen.

A realistic Data android would be hooked up to the matrix like the Borg, and would interact with humans the way we interact with a dog. There would be nothing interesting to show.
If there is an api someone can, and has, written a client that makes twitter work better. You can subvert most the dumb shit they keep trying to throw into the experience that ruin the user experience. Ad's... don't show them, timeline... put it in order, etc.

Also there is a small community of researchers out there that use the api to detect botnets, follow networks, etc. Can't have that with musk around.
This isn’t just about speech. It’s about access to markets, stealing technology/IP as a matter of public policy, and Chinese companies functioning as de facto branches of the CCP.

If US social media companies are banned there, their companies should be banned here, etc.

That's what I mean by thinking of it more like a bike. Just because a road is legal to ride on doesn't mean I would want to, you have to take the scenic route sometimes. But at least you're not getting rained on, and you can haul a lot more groceries up a hill than I would want to while biking.
This is the tragedy of modern times in the West. Hard to get anything quality without tons of research. Not even about the money, there's just too much noise
right trusting microsoft sounds like a great idea, just like when they bought github. last time i heard them say that the app actually boots up faster and is faster on average but anytime I need to send a file or do a screenshare or join a meeting it crashes if I'm unlucky, if I'm lucky it will just slow down and everything lags. It's not just me either, everyone on my team and even our client who joins in on our teams meeting runs into the same issue. Our solution for them is to actually join meetings via browser.

Roald Dahl's "The Great Automatic Grammatizator"
> LEDs must be powered by a constant-current supply, and distribution does not work well at constant-current, and is always constant voltage. So no matter what you will need some sort of switching power supply.

I think the biggest problem is that many cheap power supplies cycle at lower frequencies that cause flickering which is perceptible subconsciously. A modern switchmode power supply might operate in the 50-500khz range which will not cause perceivable flickers.
BuzzFeed is quietly publishing whole AI-generated articles, not just quizzes
It's good that I qualified my statement as "many" rather than "all" then. Something an extremely attentive reader such as you surely appreciated.
That's not how it's used in North America and thus it's not the impression our pundits are trying to give when they use it to reference you.

Here, decriminalized is uncontrolled. You can buy your fentanyl in front of a cop and do it in public. Cops can't arrest you for it. There is a maximum amount but it's huge! Pot is still limited though, and you can be arrested for having more than an ounce but you can't be arrested for carrying enough fentanyl to kill an entire building of people.

This has been done so that there's no way to force people into rehab, so they're a continual source of income for the taxpayer funded "charities" that provide for them.
Bumper to bumper is horrible. But as described in my response, shifting a timetable could drastically change a commute experience.
I'm surprised they haven't moved back to being in person. That seemed like one of the core benefits to companies, grinding it out with a set of like minded people who can all benefit in one place. Hearing you made a weaker network from YC than you would have liked is concerning, especially when you can find most of YC's wisdom on free videos. Network is one of the primary reasons I had applied and interviewed with YC a few times, both for investor networking and for founder networking and had presumed that was one of their main benefits.

I agree with people here saying YC attempting to scale seems to be hurting the overall experience. Hopefully with their recommitment to early stage companies only, this changes for the better. Their earlier wins set them up as the pre-eminent accelerator and diluting that experience those earlier companies had seems like a bad idea to me.

They have access to metrics I don't have though (obviously) so who knows I may be totally off base.
This is a very valid point that I can’t disagree with. I’ve gone through the pain of learning that subset of the language decently well, but also been lucky enough to work at places that compensate very well for that knowledge.
Power supplies in all GE bulbs are total horseshit.

Their new bulbs with the selectable color temperature gutted the product of its remaining redeeming features. The cost of the extra LEDs in the bulb is coming out of the quality of the remaining components.
I don't understand the idea that malicious disinformation campaigns are a "sci-fi" threat. I learned yesterday that Pope Francis's cool new pope-y puffer jacket from last week was a Midjourney fake; how many of the things I heard about this week were fakes? What would stop this from being used for malicious purposes?

> CNET used an automated tool to draft 77 news articles with financial advice. They later found errors in 41 of the 77 articles.

How many other news outlets are using AI and don't know or or don't care about the errors?

I'm far from an AI doomer, but it seems incredibly irresponsible to worry about only the risks that are provably happening right this second.
They've started marking LED bulbs as "not for enclosed fixtures" which is .... 90% of existing fixtures?

They overheat and die really fast if used in something that's not vented/cooled. You need fixtures that fully expose the bulb so it doesn't burn itself out.

Amusing that LED bulbs, the energy savers, die from excess heat.
While the project was started by Canonical, they've since cancelled it and UBports, a group of volunteers, have taken over.

I'm still waiting for some sort of reference about interest rates directly impacting layoff decisions. You can make claims as much as you want but that isn't evidence that you're correct about interest rates being the cause of layoffs
Maybe in the arts but in manufacturing, for instance, AI driven machinery still requires said machinery. AI driven warehouse robots still require a warehouse full of goods. AI designed chips would still require fabrication, etc.
> Even still, it's common to see homes with temperature-mismatched lighting.

Maybe I'm hypersensitive to it, but I don't understand how it's viewed as okay. I walked through a house on a home show and despite being listed for 800k+ (in Iowa), they had a couple mismatches.
I lived in a home no where near that expensive in DFW and commuted 45-60 mins each way when my kids were young. Plenty of places you can work in tech and not own a million dollar house. Even still so today.
Try a cheap popcorn popper - more or less a heat gun with an aluminium cup attached. I've used one for roasting coffee with good results. The thing keeps the beans in motion while roasting them, all you have to do is switch it on and off at the right moment.

One thing that really, really annoys me, that isn't mentioned is that practically all LED bulbs have a warning (in fine print) that you shouldn't use them in enclosed spaces. If you do use them in enclosed spaces some components overheat, and it dramatically reduces the lifetime of the bulb. In my home, like many, probably most, home in the area, most of the light fixtures are enclosed. And finding bulbs designed to work in enclosed spaces is practically impossible.

Just uninstall and get old versions at https://www.sublimetext.com/2 or https://www.sublimetext.com/3

Since you are licensed you can just disable update check.

I used my licensed old ST for years like this, but recently purchased the new version to get wayland support.
That's an ad. Corporate real estate is really getting desperate.
The argument would be that it's easier to see what someone is downloading (and thus infer installing) by sniffing the http traffic rather than https

Sure you can do some form of fingerprinting with request sizes over https, but that's another step and no guarentee (which of two identical length files did they get for example)

What the risk is to this information is another matter.
Regardless of whether this happened or not, would training Bard on ChatGPT output be good or bad for Bard's product quality? I imagine there's a risk of AIs recursively reinforcing bad data in their models. This problem seems unavoidable as more web content becomes AI-generated content and spam.
It would however allow more accurate but slower humans to check its results for errors.

I find plausible that, in the near future, AI will be capable of generating content at a pace so high that we won't have time and resources to guarantee content accuracy and will very soon surrender to accepting blindly everything it spits out as truth. That day, anyone pulling the strings behind the AI will essentially have the perfect weapon at their disposal.

Oh snap, indeed!

An image of this size should not be so heavyweight, but the images are PNG, not JPG or webP. This is why they are so slow.

I would consider adding JPG previews with links to PNG images for those who want to see every pixel as rendered.
Because many people (myself included) used .dev for internal testing domains before it was a TLD, either by specifying the domains in my hosts file, or with a local DNS server. Now i use .test for that, which is actually a reserved suffix that would never be a real TLD.
> I don't even carry a wallet anymore.

That is a lot of faith in the technology. You don't worry about a dead battery? Cracked screen? Phone getting stolen out of your hand in the subway?
I am in the same boat, but they do tend to become significantly dimmer over time.
I think 1984 is a perfect example of the limitations of this type of thinking. 80 years ago Orwell (and other authors) saw a future where technological power has gone entirely to the governments and are being used to oppress citizens.

The future played out completely differently. Government is far more open and transparent. Citizens routinely use technology to check the power of the state (recording police abuse on smartphones, sharing on social media, transacting stateless currency).

When it comes to technological change, pessimism always feels smarter than optimism, but it has a poor track record.
Its a dual slot gpu

What benefit does that offer over 2 GPUs?
Yeah. It's not like changing incandescent bulbs was a weekly occurrence for me but it was certainly not at all a rare occurrence.
