I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing. What manifest are you referring to here?

The post is detailing a feature offered by GitHub to generate SBOMs from source code repositories - these will provide machine-readable inventory based on the files within the repository. You can upload a dependency graph to feed the SBOM as an out-of-band step, but trusting Alice's out-of-band dep graph is only a function of access to the source code as a source of truth.

Ultimately that's what all if this comes down to: creating a machine-readable graph from a predicable central place that tells us information we could have ascertained ourselves before anyway (just with considerably more effort).
Bullshit arguments about AI replacing jobs

I agree that the US healthcare system sucks.

> people, but good things fail all the time. If for some reason, the market decides not to take interest

If the market doesn't think its a good idea or you don’t have an “unfair advantage”, by definition, its not a good idea.
Or if consciousness is more than an illusion. Fair points. I'm not sure if you can have a general intelligence without some form of consciousness. I don't believe in gods or souls, so I lean towards us not being special.

As for the how, I agree with you. I'd prefer it to not be terminators crushing heads under their iron feet while allowing us just enough room to run and hide and live in constant terror for centuries. But I doubt it will be, the power delta will be too large. It'll be like a game of Civilization where Gandhi is advancing on you with modern tanks and fighter planes while you've barely discovered the wheel.

Directly east of the Mississippi is the Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois (https://www.fs.usda.gov/shawnee) with 289,000 acres with both primitive (free but 14 days max per camp spot) and dispersed camping allowed.

I grew up in the area and camped many times with friends in high school and college by just walking a few miles down a trail and then moving off the trail a bit. I believe back then the primitive camping limit was 90 days per spot. The Rainbow People used to push that to the max when they moved through the area.

I live in New England now and other than some remote state parks here in Massachusetts there isn't any primitive camping so you are right about far east of the Mississippi.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is related to ChatGPT or LLM. Google is aware of the impact LLMs are having and that Manifest V3 is facing widespread disapproval. Previously, Google's strategy was "take it or leave it", so their decision to reconsider could indicate apprehension about the potential acceleration of the ad-based search business's decline.

I wasn’t really talking optical illusions but more something along the lines of the film vantage point or just detective work in general. A lot of people can recall the same event and be telling it faithfully to what they saw and remember but the actual truth of what happened can be something entirely different to their own individual perception. I suppose something like saying you saw someone murder someone with a gun and then run off, when if you’d have seen it from another angle then you would have seen the guy was acting in self defence because he was about to get stabbed or something like that

Is that relevant for the amount of houses they can build?

I feel like if you were truly motivated they could have had over New York's population by now if they were to build homes and skyscrapers. It doesn't take 100 or 200 years to build a skyscraper, they could simultaneously start like 20 of them every year.
It is very obvious that people go crazy every Spring. They get out in the sunlight, which makes them feel better after a vitamin D deprived Winter. Life is less difficult than when snow was around.

That etymology might actually be wrong. The kari for blackened, burnt, etc comes from കരി where the r sound is a dental flap type r sound, while the kari for curry comes from കറി where the r sound is the typical r sound. So it's more likely the etymology is from malakkarry, which means vegetables, meaning than kari from the blackened, burnt, etc meaning.

feel like trend among Silicon Valley companies and tech ‘genius’ personality about having altruism. some delusion that basing personality on this lie will make them untouchable and elevate their character, as if they not in this just to make ton of money like every other company and industry. and American media generally push this propaganda. SBF prime example.

Returns are capped at 100x their initial investment, which, you know, is not that big of a cap. VCs would go crazy for a 100x return. Most companies, even unicorns, don't get there.

I’m not sure why that doesn’t make sense.

In a winner takes all market, where the product is highly complex, which is likely the case for any product developed since the advent of computers, if not before, the predominant position will almost certainly be taken by somebody, and since it’s a highly complex product, it’s likely no one entity thought of and/or implemented even close to a majority of the ideas needed to make it work.

In fact, it’s likely to be a random winner amongst 10-20 entities who implemented some of the ideas, and another potentially larger number of entities who implemented equally good, or even better, ideas, which happened to fail for reasons that couldn’t have been known in advance.
You can also add my personal anecdota in the pot. Same experience. (I know there is self selection sampling here that needs to be adjusted for.)
This is reasoning by analogy. X is like Y, Y has property A, therefore X has A. This approach seems much less compelling to be than saying "AI can become more intelligent than humans. A more intelligent entity without our moral values may cause extreme harm up to and including human extinction. We should be worried about AI."

yes but those guesses have "smudge windows" which are functions of the physical distance between relevant nodes

if you want to make assertions about order between events from a set of nodes, and you want to use per-node physical clocks to determine that order, then even if those clocks are perfectly synchronized, order can only be decided when the light-cones of all nodes intersect, which is the maximum distance between any two nodes times the speed of light

7ms works for up to 2098km, that's in the best case
I am probably part of this problem - an enabler, so to say. I was hosted a nice lady with a house full of duck themed things (this was in southern England, probably not the same lol), and left her two (rather cute) duck-themed things when I moved assuming that she'd like those.

She was unequivocally happy when I did, but perhaps it was just because of the gesture.

When Google ditched Reader, they told me how to export my OPML, so I did, and vowed to never again depend on a cloud service for something I could do with a local client app. I've moved from one to another over the years. At the moment I'm using Feeder on Android.

Likewise when they dropped Listen for podcasts, currently I'm on Antennapod. If I can get an app from f-droid, I prefer it.

I can live with backing up my OPML files whenever I add a blog or podcast, and having no web server for desktop use or tracking read/unread progress; I just only consume from my primary phone.
A lot of this control and insight into the µarch is gleaned by the public not from the hardware company's released drivers or docs but through exactly this sort of reversing. See Ager's website as an example.

You could also take this to the extreme, as Stallman used to do with his OLPC where he deleted the wifi blob to only use lan because it wasn't free enough. If you have to wait for hardware company's to build free and open drivers and open hardware docs and open firmwares to use linux well im afraid your options are basically some X220 with a Open rom bios reimage.

For now, Apple's arm64 silicon is the most compelling option for anyone that wants to develop on the architecture locally. It's the same way as how i386 was the most compelling option for anyone that wanted to run a free unix at home in 1991. It just does not matter that Apple hasn't done a dump of all their drivers and hardware docs because it is all we have and the hardware is damn good at that too.
> and American media generally push this propaganda. SBF prime example.

Did they? I've only listened to one interview of SBF and that was done by Tyler Cowen. He seemed totally aloof to the seriousness of running an exchange. If anything we've been convinced that idiosyncratic individuals are our saviors.
Parents were rich, sent their child to Stanford and used their connections to let him build connections to other rich people, founded a shitty startup in the middle of a period where any rich kid making a social media company would get bought out for dozens of millions, rest is history.

I understand this sentiment now, but I've already made GPT work in ways which boggle the mind, in my own time, and I'm a nobody. So this concern might be rephrased as (something like) "Kids will need to learn how to use GPT to validate secondary sources."

1. Yes, Putin saw that Ukrainians don't want to integrate with Russia and that Ukraine is escaping the Moscovian sphere of influence so he decided to invade Ukraine, taking over Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.

2. Yes, my personal opinion is that Crimea could at least have a special status as most people living there are Russians. But it should have been done in a completely different way, in the spirit of support and collaboration. But Putin doesn't understand this language, he only understands conquest and power. He doesn't care at all about people. Now people living in Crimea are in constant fear and many of those who could moved elsewhere.

> What I’m afraid of is that he and Ilya are not as good and smart as they paint themselves.

This describes almost any venture capitalist or high-profile startup founders, as far as I can tell. Most don't realize their either privileged path or lucky path or both had more to do with it than their smarts.

I really like James Simons as he mostly attributes his success to luck and being able to hire and organize smart people and give them the tools they need to work. He basically describes it as luck and taste, despite his actual smarts and his enormous impact on the world.
Maybe you can hear paint dry, too.
Enjoy your state not protecting you,then. You don't even have the right to health,after all.
With no equity comes no control. I would find it very surprising he has no control over the project.

And if he does have control that has value whether you label it equity or not.

It is possible he literally has no control and no financial upside but who would turn down control over what they believed to be a world shaping technology?
I'm sure they are both pretty smart, but if anything that makes their apparent monopoly more concerning.
I had trouble opening this page. But for those who have issues with the page, here is a brief summary. (finally got it open through safari, weird)

The article describes the discovery of a rare atmospheric phenomenon known as "Bouguer's Halo" at Summit Station on the Greenland Ice Cap.

This halo is the simultaneous appearance of a fogbow and a 22° halo, which was captured on camera by veteran optics observer and photographer Ed Stockard after being alerted by Jari Luomanen, who watches the webcam installed at the Station. The article also discusses the debate surrounding the impact of automatic cameras on discovering new halos and the importance of having experienced and dedicated observers to quickly alert local photographers.

He stuck to the 99.9% gamble of setting money on fire that were startups and navigated to the big time(tm).

Also, he helped lift Clerky, Triplebyte, YC, and may others pre, during, and post Loopt.

Not many people (or no one) "deserves" success, but Sama brings a healthy dose of goodwill wherever he goes.
That’s so cool. Like an Amiga, but with Intel Inside ;)

I would not have been impressed by the constant churning of the HDD though (just a guess).
When I used Wine around 20 years ago it was roullete if the application even starts. A few years ago I realized that it mostly works. Sure, some random little things could not work, some textures could be glitched, but I was confident that at least it will start. And it's constantly getting better (with some occasional regressions here and there, but it's bound to happen).
I gave it a set of DM rules (for example do not make decisions for me; do not cheat for me, etc.) but other than that I just asked it to DM the module for me. TBH I'm not really sure whether it is following the module, but at least it is following the undead theme.

It's a good question though. I know the gist of the story so I assume I'm still in the hook. The game went slowly as I don't have much time for it.
I mean, presumably they are at like 30x already?
This is rounding. 8km would actually be 80304.7 kPa. So not as beautiful as you imagine.

Manifest V3 is a perfect example of "great idea but terrible execution". The ability to have extension pages be suspended when not in use is great. Improving (and having finer grained) permissions is great. It should have stopped there: introduce a new "persistent" permission that extensions can request to stay around permanently, and when not requested, introduce lifecycle events so extensions can properly handle suspension/resumption. Make some tweaks to how permissions as a whole are handled.

Instead we have this abomination which is worse for everyone involved. It doesn't improve performance because it forces extension authors to hack around the broken API, and in doing so waste CPU and memory.

Firefox FTW
I’m sorry your AI keyboard didn’t like your sentiment. Words have been changed to reduce your vulgarity. Thankyou for your human node input.

On a serious note I think you are right. In private the ideology of him and his mentor Theil is a lot more… elite. Their think tank once said “of all the people in the world there are probably only 10,000 unique and valuable characters. The rest of us are copies.”

I’m not going to criticize that because it might be a valid perspective but filter it through that kind of power. I don’t love that kind of thinking driving such a powerful technology.

I am so sad that Silicon Valley started out as a place to elevate humanity and ended with a bunch of tech elites who see the rest of the world generally as a waste of space. They claim fervently otherwise but at this point it seems to be a very thin veneer.

The obvious example being GPT was not built to credit or give attribution to its contributors. It is a vision of the world where everything is stolen from all of us and put in Sam Altmans hands because he’s… better or
Something.
It’s easy to beat the car if the car isn’t allowed where public transport is… which can be approximated by not building any parking in places where people want to or need to be.
How hard would it be to replace this entire algorithm with the following pseudocode?

If !user.follows_author(author) then don't show tweet on timeline
Else if tweet.timestamp is later than all other tweets show tweet first

This is vastly superior to any other possible recommendation algorithm because users can choose what tweets they see/don't see by whom they follow and everybody has an equal chance to have their tweets seen by their followers. When Twitter moved away from this, it rendered my timeline useless so I started just pulling up people's profiles to read their tweets in order and eventually deleted my (pseudonymous) account that had several thousand followers. Almost nobody was seeing my tweets anyway thanks to this algorithm and deleting the account did not prevent me from browsing accounts I'm interested in.

All Elon needed to do to fix Twitter was to reverse all of the bad changes they've made since 2015 or so and restore the platform to what it was in the late 00s/early 10s.
You can use Anthropic’s chatbot in Quora’s Poe app. Right now it isn’t as good as Bing or ChatGPT.

Again, this is unbelievably good marketing - and good sales when pitching VCs. Plus it's a nice reworking of the very for profit nonprofit model (see also FTX).
