I would buy your argument if it were true that the sound wasn't muffled and unintelligible in theaters. But that's not the case. The recent Nolan films are almost as unintelligable in theaters as they are on a stereo home system, even on IMAX.

Nolan himself has tried to make this argument, he's trying to invoke sub-bass frequencies, that his goal was never for movies to be understandable, and that it was an artistic choice that maybe the audience doesn't have to understand everything.

I'm all for artistic integrity and him being able to do whatever he wants, but I'm also ok with calling Nolan wrong on this one. I have no interest in seeing his films if audio clarity is not one of his goals in film-making. It breaks immersion (real life isn't unintelligible and mumbled), it isn't an enjoyable experience for me, and frankly I think is poor decision making on his part. I'm ok with calling Nolan wrong, hand-wavy artistic stuff aside.

Why is partial file ftp not the right answer in your mind? Unless the number is 2^something -1 and could just as easily be recalculated.
You didn't actually answer the question, which is a sign of bad faith in the discussion. So I will restate them, and number them for ease of reference:

1 - Isn't it true that the democratically elected government in Ukraine had just been overthrown (call it a coup or a revolution, doesn't matter) leading to Russia annexing Crimea? I mean, the annexation happened the very next day after the government had been overthrown so you don't see that as unrelated do you?

2 - Do you support the vote that Crimeans then had on their desire to be annexed by Russia following their democratically elected government being overthrown?
Why should we expect "civic attachment" when nerds are literally hardcore bullied from the beginning in our media, in our schools, and now, they're starting getting bullied for being cerebral nerds by the bars of the one city that's supposed to be theirs.

I don't blame them tbh. Frankly, society should be very happy uniquely for the "nerds at the HF event" since those nerds are working very hard on open source and democratic AI, which is basically the only protection that the non nerds of SF have against the coming AI job apocalypse.

Says you. We're talking about public money being spent. I certainly don't agree that maximizing the number of people who can survive as artists is a good public policy goal. And I interpret "compromised" here to be producing something people want. That's vital, it's not a downside.

> stop pretending it’s investor protections.

There is no investor protections in crypto at all, especially if is all retail getting scammed all the time.

> Should it also be illegal to trade my fake tokens for other fake tokens other via decentralized exchanges?

Once it is deemed an unregistered security then yes, it should be illegal and it will be illegal.

There is no way around it once crypto gets pushed down into the dark web where you can only cash out with illegal drugs instead of fiat.

This is where crypto is heading.

> There are certainly reasons other than jobs why some people choose to live in a major city

I agree, but without jobs, as a major city, SF looks pretty unattractive. It was better a decade ago, but since then, all its problems got worse.
Sounds like a lack of experience, aka knowledge... orthogonal to IQ.

Boils down to not realizing most companies don't have buckets of money raining from the heavens. Inconceivable!
> Why should we expect "civic attachment" when nerds are literally hardcore bullied from the beginning in our media, in our schools

You’re describing rich and powerful people. If someone with those resources can’t grow up, yes, it’s reasonable for others to dissociate from them.

What I’m describing is also uniquely San Franciscan. Tech workers in Berkeley, Oakland, Sunnyvale, Seattle, New York and overseas are civically engaged. They volunteer; join organisations, protests and campaigns; they run for office.

> the coming AI job apocalypse

It’s odd seeing AI embrace crypto’s language. Past revolutionaries for computers or nuclear power were motivated by the good they could do. They didn’t pat themselves on the back for riding a supposed pale horse. NLP has no more ability to bring an apocalypse than personal computers did, but it’s a call for regulation if this becomes mainstream.
I don't know, it seemed to me his responses on Lex were very measured and carefully restrained in a lot of places, calculated and vague in others. He doesn't come off as genuine to me at all.
This is very much a backup option of last resort. I maintain a real backup solution inside my house, but basically nowhere to keep something off-site. I do not consider the cloud acceptable. For my top tier priority data (low total file size), I really want something stored elsewhere.

some errors there.

it should have ^head, and ^piece (the term is "pinning"). Unlike in erlang, elixir will happily "reassign" variables to the new content on whatever is on a right side of the match.

Sharegpt is great! I have 2 suggestions:

1) Make the sharegpt front page feel a bit more present/engaging, perhaps by having new/hot posts lists right on the front page, with the ability to upvote them. I know you have some post examples on the bottom but they are very old and the comments seem to be broken.

2) What about a share feature that would share a screencast of the ChatGPT session of some kind? That would probably be a ton of work but maybe before the user does the prompt, he clicks a screencast button that the extension would provide, and then at the end he can share either/both of a screencast link or a regular/traditional link.

There are only 632 Michelin starred restaurants in France, and it is only the 6th most-dense country for such establishments. So no, probably not a stones throw away. Still, probably a great boulangerie to make up for it.

Apparently, Japan is where you want to be if you want to have the lowest average distance to a Michelin restaurant [0]

How would it prevent meritrocacy? Does being a union member automatically grant people promotions in function of time at company?

Surely that's not a law of physics, you can have unions without automatic promotions, which I agree are not good, usually.
I really wish that we could all just settle on using "whether or not someone is acting like an asshole" as our single tribal dividing line. Every other grouping scheme will lump lots of great people with lots of assholes all mixed together and then we cherry pick and make assumptions about the wider group that are generally unfair.

Physics nut reporting for duty!

What makes relativity special is that everybody agrees on the speed of light. So Alice is passing Bob at say 0.1% of c, she detonates a big firecracker or other bright sudden event, the light from that event forms a big bubble that expands away from her in all directions at speed c.

If you imagine that light is like sound, that it propagates through a medium called the lumineiferous ether, then maybe Bob is at rest relative to the luminiferous ether. If so, he thinks that the bubble is centered on a fixed point in space, and Alice is just a smidge closer to one of the sides of the bubble than she is to the other. Alice, on this account, sees the center of the bubble drifting “backwards” relative to her motion and agrees that she is closer to one edge than the other. If they were right next to each other when the light burst went off, Alice agrees that Bob is the true center of the light bubble.

Special relativity says that there is no ether: Bob thinks that this expanding light bubble is indeed expanding from a fixed point and that Alice is closer to this side than that, and he's right... but Alice thinks that this bubble is expanding out uniformly with herself at the center, and she is also 100% right. According to her, Bob is closer to one side of the bubble than the other, and Alice is the true center.

This has a bunch of consequences. The first one is that it makes the Zeno paradox into a real life thing. To outrun a light beam, you first have to accelerate to half the speed of the light beam, at which point if you look to see how fast it's going away from you, it is receding at speed c still, so you accelerate again to half the speed of the light beam and it is still moving at speed c away from you, and you can never catch up to it. Bob watching this must agree that Alice never catches up to the leading edge, even though he sees her dumping tremendous amounts of energy into her motion. So nobody can accelerate faster than the speed of light, it takes infinite energy to get there. (The converse of this has now become engineering reality, all of our particle accelerators dump huge amounts of energy into small particles and operate under the simplifying assumption that they all max out at speed c.)

The Newtonian universe with finite speed of light is the first situation, the relativistic universe is the second.

Paul Graham is his Les Wexner.

"Sam Altman, the co-founder of Loopt, had just finished his sophomore year when we funded them, and Loopt is probably the most promising of all the startups we've funded so far. But Sam Altman is a very unusual guy. Within about three minutes of meeting him, I remember thinking 'Ah, so this is what Bill Gates must have been like when he was 19.'"

"Honestly, Sam is, along with Steve Jobs, the founder I refer to most when I'm advising startups. On questions of design, I ask "What would Steve do?" but on questions of strategy or ambition I ask "What would Sama do?"

What I learned from meeting Sama is that the doctrine of the elect applies to startups. It applies way less than most people think: startup investing does not consist of trying to pick winners the way you might in a horse race. But there are a few people with such force of will that they're going to get whatever they want."
I don't have the source, it was a video interview, but Sam said he has personally invested in around 400 startups. And it says here he employs "a couple of dozen people" to manage his investment and homes. At that scale I think you yourself basically are a venture capital firm.
No, the next Zuckerberg. The media sees (rightly) openai as a competitor medium.

In these early days of a smear campaign (even an unintentional one that's just about chasing clicks), the game is mostly about plausibly deniable innuendo.

The headline is a great start. Contradictions are bad. Altman has contradictions. Therefore Altman is bad. They don't say it, but they also know they don't need to. They lead the audience to water and trust that enough of them will drink.

The closing paragraph is another great example. It intentionally leaves the reader hanging on the question "so why did Altman do AI if there are moral downsides," without resolving the question by giving Altman's context when he said it.

Trust me or don't, but what you see here is just the beginning. In 6 month's time Altman will be (in the public's eye) evil incarnate.
Given Einstein proved time is relative and not absolute I wonder at what time resolution all attempts to assume time as an absolute fall apart? The maximum distance of two surface nodes on this planet is about 20_000 km translating to about 67 milli seconds as speed of information.

All discussion here assumes 17th century Newton's physics.
A snow storm plus power outage makes me want to bed down, not flee. The idea of leaving your house for a community center during a power outage is odd to me on several axes (pipes freezing, digging out your car, driving on half-plowed roads), especially in the hyper-individualist US (do these centers even exist?)

It's much simpler to obtain and fuel a small generator to power meta loads like thermostats/circulators/blowers than a large generator that supplies the thermal load. Fully committing to a heat pump as your only heating would likely involve a large gas generator fed by municipal gas or at least a large buried propane tank (for capacity and temperature).

The straightforward backup heat answer is wood. It's easy to obtain and store, and the primary drawback of it requiring labor and attention isn't a big deal during an outage. Although if you don't do it regularly and make sure your stove is in good order, lighting a fire during an emergency situation might not be the best idea.
Thoughts About ChatGPT, LLMs, and AI in Education
Arguably at least 3/5 of the greatest rock and roll hands of all time were British (Pick any of: Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Queen, Pink Floyd, Tne Clash…)

A very large percentage of the musicians in those bands were graduates of the “Art Schools” of the time, which were like STEM schools, just, well, art.

> What do you think might happen if someone decides to flood the internet with a thousand fake George Floyd videos to incite riots because “the ends justify the means”.

People have been flooding the internet with lies all along -- and, indeed, sometimes incite riots with those lies.

I get it: there are new ways to lie now, and some will be more susceptible because they don't pay attention to the moving target of what's possible with deepfake technology. But adding one more way to lie to the existing pile of a thousand ways doesn't change the balance, especially since the effectiveness of a lie doesn't depend on its believability, but on whether it tells a story the listener wants to believe.

This trail only opened last year, and was inspired by the US Pacific Crest Trail. The creator (from Chamonix) quit his tech job and journeyed from South America to Canada, and while on the PCT wondered why doesn't France have its own grand mountain trail? So he and a few others planned this route, crowdfunded an app to consolidate its info (campsites, water sources) and came up with this. https://www.connexionfrance.com/article/Mag/Nature/New-3-000...

Imagine AI being used to titrate profits out of the economic cycle, wealth becomes more and more concentrated, jobs become more and more scarce. Industry becomes more consolidated and centralized.

Businesses which once stood steady as oak trees close their doors after various external crises and are acquired at firesale rates by competitors until only few remain.

What happens generally when people cannot find jobs and cannot afford food to survive.

It won't happen overnight, but it can't be characterized that this is happening until its too late, and we are already at a point where this could be happening.

Eventually the division of labor breaks down, and the economic cycle between product and factor markets stalls.

Truly gifted people may withhold their talents if they aren't properly compensated, and that's all but a certainty given the deceit of prices, and since they will have been abused by those less fortunate in various social ways.

This is only sped up by money printing because prices and the store of value become less rational as you print more and as you run into the economic calculation problem.

Unrest generally occurs at some point, followed by a significant amount of death as systems we rely upon to survive fail.

While many people in the lower class may be less educated, there are always at least some intelligent people in that mix that inherently pose a threat to those in power if they can organize. Those may be targeted, poisoned, or disadvantaged by those at the top seeking to retain power in a cycle of escalation.

This historically has been recognized as one of the many great dangers of printing money, and the irrational and deluded think the solution is to print more in an ever escalating cycle without realizing the core problem (or potentially benefiting in other corrupt ways) leads to only one outcome, a new beginning, assuming enough of us survive.

If Japan had just destroyed a US base, then it would have been proportionate to destroy a Japanese base in retaliation. In reality, Japan launched total war on all its neighbors, and Pearl Harbor was just the first part of this to touch the US directly. The scale of deaths was in the millions before the US entered the war, and there was no guarantee that it wouldn't get far worse. Calculating a proportionate response as if this were a little diplomatic incident just doesn't make sense in this context.
