In a greenfield, there are several techniques I would use to develop a CMS plugin system:

- Decoupling through a process boundary interacting via RPC (This expands plugin backends to be able to be written in other languages or even compiled. Front-end plugin components could/would need to be rendered and composited separately in a way that cannot leak out.)

- Require administrative approval to grant particular permissions

- Cryptographic signatures of plugins by authors and web-of-trust maintained by Wordpress

- Capability-based API that can only be invoked after delegated permissions as above

Most of it seems to come from /r/conspiracy, which unsurprisingly has a lot of overlap with another subreddit that starts with /r/cons*
The fundamental monetization problem of the TTRP is pretty well understood, even by Hasbro. 80% of the audience are players and have little to no reason to buy more than the Player's Handbook. 20% of the audience are DMs who drive most of the sourcebook and accessory revenue.

They've explicitly said to monetize they have to find better ways to exploit players on the same level as DMs.
I mean that is a pretty low bar. Outside of reddit, "institutional" results like wikipedia or cdc.gov etc, and the occasional living fossil niche forum that has miraculously survived to this day, I can't say I've seen very many relevant results.

Usually I defer to reddit but sometimes even that is junk, and google tends to misdate ancient reddit threads as more recent. The best is when I identify a relevant forum on the first pass. Then I can append the site:forum.com tag and actually search the forum, because its internal search is probably ancient rate limited junk still.

Google makes a great search tool for parsing an individual or handful of websites like this, but its terrible of course when parsing the firehose of the modern web.
The exception proves the rule though.
I'm not in the US.

One of the consequences of SAAS being easier to use to than old school local IT is that these decisions are often made by the user of the data directly, for whom these are often not the most salient risks. In the old days you couldn't really operate beyond a few people without a sysadmin who would know that they would be fired if something like this happened and so would be much more keen to make sure long tail risks are taken care of.
With SAAS it's difficult to persuade people that we need to pay for a third party backup service when the SAAS does their own backups for free.

Regarding privacy or trade secret risks, Google provides adequate permission mechanisms for that if operated correctly. For example, HR have their own shared drive which other users can't see. Threats like Google itself getting hacked or deciding to look at our docs are basically in the "act of God" category for our business.
Why would it be any different than other forms of software? There’s lots of liability in writing software, yet the field seems to be doing OK.

Python is the practical language for when you do your cpu intensive tasks outside of it as a feature, since the GIL isn’t a problem with io parallelism.

You’d do better complaining about still nascent, compared to alternatives, async support or lack of jit in the official implementation.
I think you’re missing how much of a profound difference the intensive RLHF training OpenAI did makes in ChatGPT. Microsoft’s Sydney seems to also be GPT 3.5 based, came out after ChatGPT, and it was an utter dumpster fire on launch in comparison.

Meanwhile nobody has even caught up to ChatGPT yet, not even Microsoft whose resources are the secret sauce you think is the game changer, and now 4.0 is out and even more massively moved the ball forward.
70s was not latchkey kids. I was a kid then. We roamed the streets.

80s? I don't know, wasn't like that for me. I knew some kids maybe where it was like that for them, I felt sorry for them.

From my perspective, obviously a limited perspective based on the time I grew up, the 1970's was the best time to be a kid in the history of kids.

We roamed the streets, 10 years old, running wild in the streets.

Is it productive to cut out an entire swath of talent that will never work in the office again?

I’d argue since everything revolves around people at the end of the day, taking care of your people in an absurdly generous way is the best possible business strategy.
It would be irresponsible for intelligence agencies NOT to involve themselves in AI. LLMs have the capabilities to catalyze economic shockwaves on the same magnitude of the internet itself.

Notice how OpenAI is open to many Western friendly countries but not certain competitive challengers? https://platform.openai.com/docs/supported-countries
We're at like 12% renewable. The journey from 12% renewable to 30% renewable will be different than the journey from 90% to 100% renewable.

The tools in our disposal to reach 20% or 30% are available today, if we can understand them. And also, as long as we don't let perfection be the enemy of good.

We will probably never tackle the 90% to 100% problem in our lifetime. It is best to focus upon the problems that are in front of us, and that we can in fact solve or fix within our lives.

Many people are still skeptical about wine and proton but in the future it will become the way to play Windows' existing game library. I always say that if you care about games preservation, you need to look at Linux & Proton. Even if a future version of wine/proton introduces some breaking changes, you can always use an older version for a particular game, much more comfortable than messing with Windows XP VMs and whatnot.

Wine and proton frontends are becoming so friendly too. Setting things up on e.g. steam deck is extremely easy, not just for wine but even for emulators (emudeck). Just click some buttons and you get everything set up for you and auto-updated.
I've been afraid of that, yeah. Fortunately I'm an EE these days and so swapping out a tube is pretty easy, when I finally get around to it :)
I'm glad this is not the default way of thinking for everyone, because if it were, we'd never see any progress.
I can make some arguments but it all boils down to personal bias and anecdotes.

The forced use of spacing to delineate blocks means you will never see a bunch of brackets eating up screen space and the common error where someone adds another line to an if statement but doesn't add braces.

Semicolons not being conventional means less screen noise and less code golf 1 liners.

The focus on imperative vs functional means you rarely ever see something like this a(b(c(d(e(f(g))))

PHP suffers greatly from poorly named standard functions on top of all of that.

Don't get me started on Ruby metaprogramming.

These are just the things I could think of off the top of my head. I do not want to spend my afternoon on this. This is just my experience looking at code for over 20 years, you either believe it or you don't. There's no scientific studies to prove that 1 syntax feature is superior.

I highly doubt that everyone chose python just because Google did. Python was a giant step in syntax compared to the competition back then, and now even if there is a new language out there right now that has a better syntax, it's not going to be better by much, and it is not going to have the tooling, libraries, or the community.
Maybe Sam thinks about this at some level. From his New Yorker profile[0]:

> "The other most popular scenarios would be A.I. that attacks us and nations fighting with nukes over scarce resources.” The Shypmates looked grave. “I try not to think about it too much,” Altman said. “But I have guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to.”

This doesn't explicitly talk about him being worried about AI putting a lot of people out of jobs but he is prepping for AI going awry.

Totally agree. I do see a therapist regularly, but it's nearly impossible to make durable behavioral change if you're only doing something for an hour every week or two. I posted this yesterday but I've been using ChatGPT as a "procrastination coach" to remarkable effect, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35390644, and it really helps me with my day-to-day, and I've discussed these chat sessions with my therapist.

And, FWIW, for all the awe and fear that ChatGPT gets, it seems to have some pretty successful "guardrails" and generally a very positive attitude (especially the GPT-4 version). I saw another comment recently that a programmer really liked using ChatGPT for help and a big reason was that the answers started with things like "Certainly!" and "Glad to help!", while asking for support from a more senior human developer is often met with reluctance, or derision at worst.
Python is getting typescript like typing support. Slowly, yes, but way better than Java’s type system.
Wait until you find about Imos.
1. I openly question gpt's ability to generate compelling narratives. Perhaps modules could be feed into it to provide enough background for it go off of, but I would consider this a weakness to GPT compared to humans.

2. Current GPT based DMs allow the player to do basically anything they want. Human DMs offer more control over the game, and will follow closer to tradition and unwritten roles than GPT allows. There's also a fun part of the game for the player in which they convince the DM to allow an action they wouldn't otherwise.

3. D&D's low tech nature is a draw for a lot of players. Some books, some paper, pencils, dice, a table. Simple stuff. I think many players would push back on screens and other high tech.
I'd assume remote work greatly lowers retention. People are way less "attached" to their company when working remotely.

C provides no guarantees about the memory layout of distinct globals. If you want a specific contiguous layout, you need to define it as a buffer. In practice though, most linkers will place them contiguously since they are simply appended to the constants section in the order they are parsed.

You're right that I don't care, because it has already been decided that Orwell is representing the future if things go "The Wrong Way (tm)", buy 1984 at Amazon for $24.99, world's best selling book. Or more succinctly to OP, "The Capitalist Way (tm)".

> The 2000 film reflects the way D&D was played 2 decades ago, i.e., more as high fantasy; the 2023 film reflects that D&D today is played more as action comedy.

Having played D&D for over 40 years, I wouldn’t agree that that’s how dominant playstyles have changed between 2000 and now. It might have been something WotC wanted to try to shift the brand image toward at the time of the 2000 film (its not a coincidence that the film and the first edition of the rules done at WotC after acquiring TSR were released in the same year), though.
"Space Karen" is only interested in money after all. And I thought he was all for free speech. The White House recently said they would not be spending cash on "blue ticks".

Right well imagine you’ve just walked into a bar in real life and everyone is having a conversation about crime in the city and a stranger sat in the corner says that their friend was murdered in the 90s. Would you really respond with:

> Wow. They were almost the last person murdered in NYC! Stats say murder in NYC ended later that year.

Probably not unless you wanted everyone in the bar to look at you with disgust. In fact, the entire tone and topic of the conversation would probably change to accommodate this new information. If you wanted to say something, you’d probably say something along the lines of:

“Jesus, I’m sorry to hear that. Do you want to talk about it? What happened?”

If someone is sharing something sensitive like this and you don’t think it’s relevant, just don’t say anything. Add something constructive on another comment. What have you gained from that comment other than potentially upsetting another person? I don’t think anyone is thinking “oh I’m really glad he stepped in there otherwise that one thread on the online debate would have got really off track”. And I don’t think mgarfias is going away from this thinking, “well he really opened my eyes to the fact that my anecdotal experience is not the totality of existence, my entire stance on New York City is changed now.”

Honestly dude, there are unlimited threads on every post. Every thread does not have to be a direct argument or counter argument of whatever is stated in the original content. We can just all talk and be humans going through life together.

There is just no chance that an n95 being worn even somewhat properly wouldn't significantly reduce your chance of catching COVID or any airborne, respiratory virus.

My anecdotal experience, and I think it matches with lots of other people, is that I never caught covid for most of the pandemic while wearing an n95 and even travelled and was out in public quite a bit. It wasn't until after I and most other people stopped wearing a mask in public that I caught it. It could have been due to virus mutation or whatever, but I had quite a few close calls where I was around infected people but wearing a mask and did not catch it. I also have a large extended family, so lots of people caught it and there was always a homegrown investigation on where they got it. Every single time, there was always some maskless gathering a week or two before where multiple people became infected or a family member that brought it home.
On the other hand, you can end up in situations where moderators are the only source of truth. The california subreddit is an example of this. 432k subscribers, yet the vast majority of posts come from a single moderator. At least they are posting mainstream news articles and not fringe content, but this seems to depend on one person with no check or balance.
Your tax prep software or PowerPoint isn’t going to drive you to kill yourself. But an advanced, LLM Chatbot might.

> OpenAI benefits from the mountains of labor ...

Can't you say the same about Google? Google lives from the labor of others.

Not entering into the debate if this is ethically or not just saying that OpenAI is not much different. When photo services such as Google Photos recognize the Eiffer Tower in Paris they are using images from others.

It’s interesting to see the ad implementation, I recall some predictions that Microsoft would be particularly apt at finding a way to integrate advertising organically. Instead it just seems to have made the bot more stupid because sponsored products are forced into its recommendations.

I’ve gone back to just using the GPT API, unless I absolutely need to search the internet or information after 2021 for some reason.
I don’t know, my family talks almost daily about how amazing bing chat is. The Sydney eta was kind of crazy, but the core product seems to be doing well.

It is definitely solving a different problem than chatgpt though, and maybe a less inspiring problem. Chatgpt is like an open world game where you can do anything; Bing chat is just a point solution for the vicious spiral of SEO and Google’s profit motive that rendered search results and web pages so useless.
Worth reminding that the slippery slope argument is not a valid argument at all.

As with standard slippery slope reasoning, you jump to the most extreme interpretation. Yet reality shows us that you cannot, in fact, boil a frog, because at some point it just gets too fucking hot.

Should car manufacturers be liable for drunk drivers? Maybe, if they include a space in their vehicle specifically to store and serve alcohol.

Should kitchen knife manufacturers be responsible for stabbings? No. But no reasonable person would ever suggest they should. I might remind you also that “reasonable standard” is a legal concept.
> Lucky I didn't say anything remotely like that, then.

Then surely AI research creating a superintelligent conscious AI is a realistic possibility and not a "scifi LARPing".

> Yet no-one is seriously concerned that GPT-4 will end the world.

I'm not concerned that GPT-4 will end the world. Maybe not even GPT-8.

LLMs doesn't seem like a very prospective way towards a strong AI. But AI research is not united on LLMs and works on different approaches, some of which could lead to a superintelligent AI.

Just fine tuning how slowly to boil the frogs. At some point, they will pull the trigger. My hypothesis is that the various entities that want to work around ad-blockers hold back for now, because they don't want to push people from the more basic blockers to the more advanced ones. Once this is in place, pretty much all adblockers of note are dns based, or semi-static list based...."basic". I wonder if there's a renewed push fighting ad blockers then.

In comparison to D&D 5e, unfortunately not so much, but I think that's true of most games, outside perhaps Pathfinder and some regional favourites. I've mainly had success using it for occasional one shots between other games with an existing group.

If you're willing to play online, I believe there are a few discord groups where you can find people specifically interested in particular games.

Current AIs face the challenge of filtering bias out of the corpus they are trained on. As AI researchers have pointed out in, for example, predictive policing projects, the danger is mainly in propagating and automating previous biases.
