> Sometimes their advice is right, and sometimes it's wrong? That doesn't sound particularly valuable.

As others have commented, all advice is like that. The person offering it cannot know your precise situation, but just pattern match on what they hear. That's life.

I turn this around the other way: if I am asked for my advice but the asker uses none of it, I don't feel bad, but stop offering advice. I'm clearly not the right person to be helping them.

But the opposite is true too: if the asker takes 100% of my advice then they aren't thinking about their business (or whatever they're asking about). And so I won't offer them any more advice either.

Pretty much most of these large social content warehouses are spyware, and geared towards psychological manipulation of users to get them to overshare private info, to work generating high quality entertainment in perpetuity for free, and to funnel money out of users for visibility. TikTok barely even pays it's leading content creators, much less the majority of users that struggle to reach monetization.

It's not until everyone learns to stop rewarding these kind of grift platforms for offering nothing business-opportunity-wise or growth-wise that this world of online exploitation will change. If TikTok goes away, something else will replace it, pedaling fear out of protecting TikTok (which barely does anything good for anyone but itself is a waste of time, and so is uploading content to TikTok.

Scratch also really lets you focus on one concept at a time. My son followed a programming course in scratch and the entire first lesson was about sequence, they learned to drag one instruction after another and saw how the order of steps impacted the result. I would have never conceived of explaining something as basic as sequence first, but scratch is ideal for that because it doesn’t require any boilerplate.
> BPA is in every person

I severely doubt that. Different people have different habits. I go to the grocery store. I can look at my neighbors food choices and see that some people buy cans, other people buy frozen. Any hypothetical BPA-issue will affect the canned people more, and the frozen-buyers less.
That sounds excellent. I’m going to explore this option.

Honestly I agree with you. But progress isn't inevitable and monotonic. It requires effort, and backsliding is a real possibility. I hope we can focus effort on the realistic dangers and not on speculative fiction.

Five years about nobody would have believed that AI would suddenly start creating award winning art and pass the Turing test.

> EY’s arguments aren’t really possible to engage with because they don’t have much of a causal basis.

Yeah, it’s really the fundamental problem of non-empirical rationalism; it constructs a model of the world from abstract assumptions rather than factual grounding, applies logic to it, and comes to conclusions which are (in the ideal case) utterly unassailable within the system of assumptions, but ultimately where the universe they apply to has only coincidental relationship to the material universe in which we live.

It’s literally the realization of the worst exaggerated stereotypes of academic economics and other social sciences, but its cool with some of the people who propagate those stereotypes, because the people practicing it are various flavors of techies and tech entrepreneurs acting outside of their area of specialty, rather than actually being economists or social scientists.
> (2) CONTROLLING HOLDING.—The term “controlling holding” means a holding with the power, whether direct or indirect and whether exercised or not exercised, to determine, direct, or decide important matters affecting an entity.

Exactly - by redefining the common meaning of 'controlling holding' to remove any notion of majority stake or voting rights, this definition would apply to any average shareholder who votes in an annual meeting.

From Wikipedia:

> A controlling interest is an ownership interest in a corporation with enough voting stock shares to prevail in any stockholders' motion. A majority of voting shares (over 50%) is always a controlling interest. When a party holds less than the majority of the voting shares, other present circumstances can be considered to determine whether that party is still considered to hold a controlling ownership interest

I'm sure the SEC has an even tighter definition of 'controlling interest' than this, and the bill could have used that definition, but instead it defines a new one.
Yep!

Of course, I think the game theory involved with this practice has been, at least at one point, more effective than having nothing to show at all.

Normally, I don't toot my own horn, but I was one of the few who published packages that actually did something, and something that was fairly unique at the time (I won't necessarily say good!), and the projects I showed off to prospective employers were things I did outside of bootcamp.

In my experience, very few employers, or those in charge of any level of hiring, will rarely if ever actually devote more than 10 seconds to anything on your portfolio. I know some will beg to differ, but that was my experience. It happens, but it's rare. At the time, one could have probably gotten away most of the time with merely claiming to have published open-source code or showing off how you got some GitHub stars. In retrospect, I can't say much of my honest portfolio work did for me other than act as learning experiences. Cranking out a bunch of garbage code would have sufficed for showing that I had some "skill" for landing my first job.

That ANSI code thing is funny as hell, though! I loathe what it represents, but admire how it proves a point by gaming the system. Also demonstrates my point that so much of what defines success in this field has been the mere appearance of even a shred of clout.
Do you have a source for the actual reliability of the site going down since Musk took over? All I have ever seen is these general claims without substantiation. What's especially funny is that the fail whale was a common theme for much of Twitter's early years, so even if the reliability was lower, it's less of a change and more of a return to those early days.

The only source I've been able to find is here https://app.upzilla.co/statistics/32, which shows something like 99.9% uptime since November '22.

That's a great point! For simplicity we've been referring to our current "design system" as Chakra, but it's definitely more nuanced than that. We think of a design system as "a library of components and tokens, and rules for how these are used in a design". Our current design system uses Chakra for the component library part of it, while we created the rules for using those components in a design.

We're currently working on a protocol for adding new design systems, which will support integrations at different levels, from component libraries like Chakra to more complete design systems like Airbnb's DLS. We'll have more to share on this soon!
> What isn't easy about forwarding packets destined for port 80/443 of your public IP to the local service in question and being a part of the public Internet like things were from the start?

- Not every home internet service gets a publicly routable IPv4 address anymore (e.g. CGNAT)

- Not every home internet service gets a static IPv4 address so folks have to handle DynDNS

- Not everyone is comfortable exposing their home network IP address in DNS (Tailscale only shares the endpoint IP once the endpoint is auth'd onto the network)

- Not everyone is comfortable configuring heavy auth/fail2ban/app layer safeties (Tailscale makes the services uncontactable unless you are auth'd into the Tailscale network)

- Not everyone is comfortable/can be bothered configuring Wireguard in highly dynamic environments

> Using Tailscale is the opposite of self-hosting, you're bringing someone else's third party service in, and adding more complexity and another point of failure.

Self-hosting need not be a zealot position - rather one can pick and choose what makes sense for them. Tailscale allows you to build your own network where all the nodes are auth'd (and tailscale lock means you don't even need to trust their keys by default) and non-public internet routable but still globally reachable from known safe devices. This can actually make folks more comfortable with self-hosting their own stuff since it removes so many other considerations. There is also headscale if folks want to self-host the coordination server.

Some argue that a third party service adds complexity and a point of failure. I'll point out that configuring a self-hosted publicly exposed thing from scratch for the first time has a rabbit hole of unknown complexity to the uninitiated. A tool like Tailscale can remove some of those complexities allowing focus on others.

Snowden didn't move to Russia; he got stuck there, accidentally, because he happened to be transiting through the Moscow airport on his way to Ecuador at the moment the US revoked his passport. He proceeded to spend over a month living in the airport, still trying to leave, before giving up and applying for asylum in Russia. He's not there because he wants to be, but because his only other choice is a US prison.
Infant mortality is pretty good too, yes. But I was using the entire 0-18 year old range of US citizens. And now that we're down to just a trickle of preventable childhood deaths the relative proportion of deaths to drug overdoses and firearms is higher but even those per capita numbers are significantly lower than the ~1960s.
That's interesting. I see your example as being rejection; you are rejecting the service and that's made obvious by canceling the service. What I suspect is causing the difference in perspective is the emotional association. But then we have to wonder, does rejection require negative emotion to be true? Which I'd say, no.

I would like to read the article.

Unfortunately I don't really know of resources to point you to. These are mostly my thoughts. Most probably though influenced by a diet of sci-fi. I can however expand on them.

For somewhat recent and relevant content check The Orville S03E04. At the time it was just a critique of fake news but I think it is correct about what can happen if AI makes fake news easy to scale infinitely and with very low barriers to entry.

I think presently worrying about Sentient AI is misguided because Generative AI is equally serious and much more urgent. There is no need of further advancement. What I said is possible with current AIs already.

Great site. I wish he had an English translation. But I forgive him. This is what the Internet should be! Individual people who do one thing really well. So happy to see that this still exists online.
ChatGPT plugins can go out and access the internet. The internet is hooked up to things that physically move things -- think stuff like industrial SCADA or bridge controls.

You can remotely pan a gun around with the right apparatus, and you can remotely pull a trigger with a sister mechanism. Right now we have drone pilots sitting in trailers running machines halfway across the world. Who is to say that some of these human-controlled things havent already been replaced by AI?

I think AI manipulating the physical world is a lot closer than you think.
> The only platform that fixes every type of churn for you.

Imagine someone were to lose a family member and as a result they decide that meal planning has become too much of stressor in their daily life. So they sign up for HelloFresh (use promo code "HN" for 15 free meals). As time goes on, things slowly return to normalcy– life goes on. They no longer feel like meal planning is too much of a burden.

I wonder what churnkey's plan would be to retain this customer.
What rules? I am only saying that symbols add cognitive load, even more if they're context dependent. I don't think that's controversial at all, and APL and other array languages do have context-dependent symbols.

And yes, I tried learning an array language but I didn't get far for two reasons: one, I didn't really see where could I apply it; two, it's really hard to discover things and learn incrementally when you can't really use autocomplete or even Google (punctuation and symbols are not well supported in search engines) to help with the large set of symbols/operations with multiple meanings each.
The Gentlemen's Agreement
The “credibility” value is pretty huge IMO. If you’re a small startup, the assumption from potential customers, employees and investors is that you’re super likely to fail, probably soon. Because YC companies have a strong track record, you instantly gain credibility with potential customers, employees and investors.

It’s worth 7% of the company for most, because it makes it more than 7% easier to hire, sell and find raise, and those 3 things are the most important things for most startups.

Delusional for sure, even in the US market. That is up to 14 hours of minimum wage work. Even in California, that is 7+ hours of work. I think you can expect students to be working poorly paid jobs generally. I can't imagine anyone actually paying that as a student themselves.
My source is my eyes. I drove through the local drug camp recently and saw a dealer dealing within a stone's throw from police in their car, and junkies passed out just steps from him. There's a ton of evidence, but you could search for it if you really wanted and you didn't.

What I haven't found is a single short and simple article that explains for ... people like you, that what Vancouver/Seattle/Portland/SF and Portugal mean by decriminalization is not the same.
The article says that even 2700k leds have a blue light spike (albeit smaller than the 4100ks) since the led source is blue light.

Also, maybe it just in my head, but I think the light from incandescents/halogens look nicer than leds... it feels more natural.

I've been in IT since the 1970s. The decrease in women in the field is striking. The article you cite is correct to make the connection to CS degree representation. Prior to the 1980s, CS degree programs were nascent if they existed at all. Not requiring this qualifitcation allowed an amazing diversity of people to enter the field.

Steve Jobs was in a way quite typical of the sort of people who showed up in the IT field. He would have a tough time getting hired today.
The only bulbs I've found that work in tight enclosures without overheating and failing are a design that's probably 90% aluminum heatsink by weight and over 50% by volume, with a relatively small dome diffuser on top. I couldn't find a US distributor, so bought a box direct from the manufacturer on Alibaba. They were $20+ per bulb even from the factory, so not cheap. Beyond the crazy cooling, they have a thermal shutoff feature to prevent failure if they get too hot. Generally it's better to find an appropriately breathable fixture for LED bulbs, or even better, ditch retrofit bulbs and get something with a separate DC power supply.
I moved to one of the farthest flung suburbs of NYC when my wife went to grad school. My best option for work was in Manhattan.

The commute was about 2 hours each way by train with a 5-10 minute walk on both ends. I hoped it might not be that bad, especially working from home a few days a week. Even then it was soul crushing and I only lasted a year.
I couldn’t find precise information on what bandwidth you’d get with NVLink on the 3090. To be fair, though, if all we do is inference, using Huggingface pipeline parallelism, the amount of data transferred is pretty small: 8192×2×n_tokens bytes; for most uses, with a recent PCIe setup, that bottleneck will take less than 0.1 ms per token generated, which may not be the dominant latency.

(Also, the RTX 3090 has faster VRAM, >900 GB/s, than the A6000, because it is GDDR6X.)
> What happens when the university reclassifies them as workers and asks for tuition

On the span of grad school (at least for PhDs) it will be better. Let's do the math for UM. It will cost ~ 13k per semester (at least for what I checked [1]). You pay tuition when you take classes which is in most cases is only limited to 2 years (some programs less, rarely more) then it is about 52k. Now they will get 14k (per year) increase (that's minimum, if they are workers they will demand more than minimum standard living). This means in a 5 year (standard PhD duration) they will earn at least 70k more. Then they will get a net of 70-52 = 18k.

This calculation is very simple. For one fact, if UM reclassifies them, then they will ask for more. More than this, they wouldn't able to pull the stunt they get from charging very high tuition from research grants (after they take 30-50% for admin fees anyway) for students who don't even take classes and in some time outside the country (I know folks being charged while out of US). So at the worst situation, it will be a net positive for graduate students

That's really not true though. The important concepts in incandescent lightbulbs, mainly blackbody radiation, did not give us better knowledge about the sun because the sun is an immensely more complicated system heavily reliant on very different effects.

Why? A blog is a very different use-case than social media (even social media based on microblogging). Yes, many social media communities are toxic, but many of them (or at least parts of them) can be incredibly enriching. There are plenty of Mastadon communities run with open governance structures.

Besides, most presenters will also list their personal URLs if they have sites they'd like to promote.

But no human can understand 300+ languages, especially not at 10 years old.

Just curious, have you tried Alloy with the PostGIS extension?

I've been trying to get my work let us use BigQuery for our geospatial vector data queries, because we've managed to break all the equivalent AWS products, Snowflake, and Databricks on our dataset.
Regular Postgres + PostGIS takes about 30 minutes to run our query and BigQuery does the same in 4 seconds. Unfortunately, BigQuery is a bit of a pipe dream right now for us, so it would be interesting to understand if PostGIS benefits from some of the changes in Alloy.
