>Parler declined a 40% stake from Trump after Jan 6, 21.

It doesn't sound like trump offered - it sounds like parler offered and trump didn't accept, since parler wanted exclusivity, and negotiations (which can mean anything) ended after january 6th.

Its also not clear if Kanye was being talked into buying it or he was the origin of that idea - I don't want to make assumptions. A lot of people might be looking to take advantage of an ultra rich person with serious mental health issues. It feels more like the people who built parler weren't making any money and wanted to wash their hands of it with anyone who had enough money to interest them in selling.
Also, what is a modest income in these areas can set someone up like a prince elsewhere in the country. It is notable that so many are undergoing the inconvenience of moving but the rationale is not complex.
turns out most businesses predicated on outrage rarely have a long-term profit viability and frequently turn out to be a nothing more than a grift at best.

Facebook and Twitter at least, to a degree, managed to monetize trigger emotions like rage, fear and sorrow and spin it into a captive, saleable audience receptive to modern marketing that preys almost exclusively on envy, fear, doubt, and personality matrix of the id and superego. the only issue is this sort of thing is generally entropic; culpable for human misery and uncontrollable chaos. it can be seen as having transformed baby boomers into a generation fueled by white-hot rage for anything that defies the most recalcitrant worldview, despite the internets general attempt to expand and broaden the personal horizon. faecbooks inevitable collapse into an exotic and semiliteral "captured audience" in a virtual world no one asked for, and twitters hardline unregulated pantomime of an Ayn Rand cliffnote that literally spends its dying breath tumbling off a cliff of brand and marketing exodus, can be seen as the natural progression and tendency of what i like to call the rage economy.

ironically Parler will likely meet the same fate as twitter, flailing ineffectively with myopic strategic goals to revamp platform aspects or regain trust but with no real directionality outside the latter stages of 'industry that makes people sad or angry for money.' maybe a few name changes (hello Meta) or spicy policy changes ($popular_thing branded as a stage-agent, that aught to show $enemy_group) but the end result is the same.
> Linus, Dijkstra

I wouldn't take Linus' hyperbole at face value, given that he is a guy who has consistently refused to use anything but C or assembly.

Dijkstra, on the other hand, argued that Haskell should be taught in college instead of Java. Yeah, let's go with that.

> Stroustrup

> Time has shown OOP is not good.

So, the creator of C++ argues that OOP is "not good"?

OOP is ubiquitous, and a fine tool. Plainly saying that it is "not good" is like saying nothing.
Why do people conflate OpenAI with Microsoft? Microsoft has an investment in OpenAI and provides infrastructure for them, but they are separate organizations.
Also, Donald Trump has his own version of Twitter in case Musk Twitter is too liberal for you (lol). The only way Parler could have had any niche at all would have been if Kanye bought it, went back on his meds instead of InfoWars, and made it music-focused
What does it matter, the AI isn’t copying the work, just using it for “inspiration”.
I think Artificial Intelligence has taken on the meaning that the intelligence is real but just that it's coming from machines. Synthetic intelligence (at least to me) sounds more like we're acknowledging that the machines aren't really intelligent and just simulating intelligence.
I personally try to spend money or use ad supported anything that is open-source just to help someone else eat. It really hit home for me about five years ago when the author of a WoW addon[0] couldn't develop anymore because of his financial and life situation.

So many communities across the web rely on people putting in their spare hours for free just to enjoy things. Whether it's spreadsheets in Eve, Addons and Weak Auras in WoW, forum analysis posts, or whatever goes on in the depths of pvpoke, so much free labor underpins massive parts of the world today.

I would love something that I could donate x money to per month and then based on usage, have it dole out to all the content providers with perhaps a minimum per month. It just seems daunting to do that as a) not a crypto scheme and b.) across all the various creator landscapes.

I can see having access to information about some particular technology they may be using in the military. But he was working as a network administrator or tech support of some sort. It's odd they'd have someone who isn't trusted enough to rent a car or buy a drink in most state to get close to that high level of intelligence.

It already is - they're such a nuisance that it's generally always open season. It's just, as you say, a huge pain in the ass and they reproduce far too quickly for hunting to make a significant difference, even without limits.
I agree that Ruby needs real type annotations, especially for correctness as well as for eventual performance optimization. I was sad to see Ruby 3 drop the ball here as well. RBS is not what Ruby needed, and I hope it can be replaced with real type annotations in Ruby 4.
I don't imagine they paid that much for it. This is a good way to scrub those inadvisable hate posts you and your rich right wing friends made while drunk late at night in the heat of the moment
DRM was not the primary factor in reducing piracy. The music and video industries reluctantly embraced new business models that emphasized convenience and accessibility for consumers, largely in response to the frustration with existing DRM systems. For example, platforms like Spotify and Netflix made it easier for users to access content legally, decreasing the appeal of piracy.

Gabe Newell once famously stated, "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem." Steam's success can be attributed to addressing the service issues that initially led people to piracy, providing a user-friendly platform for gamers. So, while DRM might have had a minor role in curbing piracy, it's the innovative business models and improved services that made the most significant impact. Even now, downloading movies, albums, or video games for next to nothing remains possible, and those who prioritize money over time continue to pirate without issue.
Only 60 books in a year and a half? Sheesh.
Exactly. Trump's success at grifting showed that the audience at sites like Parler was made up of (mostly) older people with either substantial disposable income or a combination of fixed income and poor decision-making skills. That's money in the bank to conservative fundraisers.
Good news for you then! plv8 is a trusted language and works with pg_tle just fine.

EDIT: I think I misunderstood your comment, plv8 itself is a compiled extension and thus cannot be a TLE, however TLEs can be written in plv8 once you have it installed. Sorry for the confusion!
I had a chat with GPT about this and it came up with the term 'data grounded cognition' to describe an 'intelligence' that is derived purely from (and expressed through) statistical patterns in data.

I quite like the term, and it seems quite unique (perhaps cribbing from 'grounded cognition' though that's an entirely different idea AFAIK)

Because (non technical) investors thought it cannot be that bad. And it was that bad. Parler have made very stupid decisions during their history, such as acquiring some obscure cloud shop.

From my understanding they are training their new GPT models off of a checkpoint from the previous generation, so they technically have partially trained multiple future models in their GPT lineage.

Right? How much of these labels' music is focus grouped? Or from performers signed by scouts looking for stuff that sounds like what's already selling? Or tweaked and sweetened with software to optimize based on play statistics?

It's not that they have a problem with derivative work. It's a huge part of their catalog. They'd just rather train software on their digital assets and use it to further optimize their own product. Why would they want to help others do the same?

I doubt popular music fans are going to consciously prefer "JamBot69" over "Band of Hot and Interesting People", but will they know if the latter had their songs penned or "improved" by the former?

They do own 49% [1]. So, sure they are separate organizations. But, when someone owns 49% of your house they have some sway in the decision making that happens. When you look at this from a integrations standpoint, where MS is going to have this baked into all their products, you can expand this logic way more. They are for sure influencing roadmap in areas they are interested in.

That's great. Interval arithmetic is an underappreciated area of study, not because it's particularly difficult - anyone can grasp it in short order, but it's rarely the first, second, or third tool used for the job when confronted with a problem. Perhaps it's just not prestigious enough compared to more sophisticated methods.
I've just looked at the documentation for eigenvalues and eigenvectors in arblib. I was thinking that:

- Eigenvectors are not computable in regions surrounding eigenvalue clashes. Therefore you should never compute them.

- Let M be a symmetric matrix being eigen-decomposed. The decomposition should be A = P D P^(-1) where only D is interval-valued, and P and P^(-1) are NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE INTERVAL-VALUED, and A should include M.
Not to be a conspiracy nut, but "Putting the kind of folks who would go out of their way to be on this site on an FBI watchlist" is also a viable business when you're the government and it's your business to track such people.

Things that are in our roadmap in relation to our data vision:

* Data management within your notebook (https://github.com/livebook-dev/livebook/issues/1604) - we want you to be able to link files, urls, and object storages to your notebook and automatically manage/download it

* We want to make it easier to build visualizations (even easier than the current Chart smart cell) and also be able to filter a dataframe by selecting a visualization: https://github.com/livebook-dev/livebook/issues/1545

We have other ideas, such as making SQL a more prominent citizen in Livebook and be able to build a custom canvas as your work on your notebook, but those will likely take longer to realize.

West literally got banned for posting a swastika. Parler rejected his attempt to buy the platform because of his comments praising Hitler. He embarrassed Trump by bringing Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist and Holocaust denier to dinner.

I mean, the guy is obviously mentally unwell and this has gotten him hoodwinked into a very awful subculture.

But still, what would you call that?

> you've got this tasty resource

Probably not as tasty as you think. The taste of wild meat can vary pretty heavily depending on what the animal's diet is like, and with something omnivorous like hogs that could be damn near anything. There's a reason we generally only eat herbivores (at least when it comes to mammals).

But even if you do want to eat it, now you've got to just cook the hell out of it unless you want worms. Wild pork is very susceptible to parasites.

Reading between the lines, if they're gonna do anything with the data other than sell it as donor lists, the last bit of the article suggests it'll have something to do with AI—I could see this being useful for training certain kinds of propaganda AI (especially training it to strike the right tone and content to get high positive engagement from a certain audience), or, relatedly, donation-request-copywriting AI (get a profile of the potential donor, tune your message to that person specifically to maximize likelihood of donation, that kind of thing)
> This approach might seem horrifyingly outside-the-box but has a lot of advantages, and some of the reasons we didn't do things this way historically have been solved in recent years.

From a development standpoint, I definitely think this seems easier! My concerns about this would be almost entirely about security. How does this approach avoid leaking credentials that people could use to access the database outside of the application? More generally, how does this approach deal with the increased attack surface for the database from exposing it to the open internet?

> If you choose not to believe in intellectual property, you must also acknowledge that other aspects of capitalism also do not actually exist and is a shared delusion.

I already do. Dollars? It's just paper, not even backed by anything. People believe in it so it has value for the time being. It will literally go to zero if people stop believing in it though.

It was hard for me to accept these truths. I don't post them here lightly.

People who choose to believe in delusions don't get to complain when reality inevitably comes creeping in.

Post scarcity. Automate everything and provide abundance, eliminating the need for an economy to begin with.
No license required, no bag limit. They're tough to kill and tough to find in the brush. A decade of sport hunting them has not even made a dent. I hear you can bbq them but it's not the best meat, no experience there.

From the article: Miller authored the “pork chopper” bill, passed in 2011, which famously allowed licensed Texans to snipe at pigs from helicopters. Hunters, emboldened further by 2019’s Senate Bill 317, which waived the need for a license to kill wild pigs, now stalk them year round, on land and aerially.
>Since nobody actually knows what "intelligence" is

Everybody knows what intelligence is. Even if we can't agree on a precise definition, it's pretty obvious that it's the thing that humans and other animals do that involves learning, reasoning, planning, and problem solving. We can also agree that being successful at certain tasks constitutes intelligence. Solving a math problem is intelligence. Writing a poem is intelligence.

not really. The many areas where they are include private land and national and state parks where hunting is not allowed.

Because convolution is an O(N^2) operation, but a Fourier transform (and its inverse) can be done in O(NlogN) and turns convolution into O(N) multiplication. So if you do FFT, multiply, Inverse FFT, you get convolution in O(NlogN). I would guess that you don't even need to do the inverse FFT and can just learn in frequency space instead, but maybe there's some reason why that doesn't work out.
I'd wager not all men. I have never read an obituary notice with great satisfaction and I hope I never do.
