I've skimmed his argument and it boils down to "I have a hypothesis explaining this phenomenon and you don't."

It doesn't address anything I've asserted. I can think of several possibilities off the cuff but that's not likely to go good places.

Everything I know about human psychology says "Contrary to popular opinion, family life is much more formative and influential for legal minors than their peer group."

Edit:

I will add that where their peer group is a very strong influence it's because the family has already failed them.
Yep totally understand. We are an early stage startup and currently 100% focused on improving our models and our product.

We don’t have pricing, not because we try to be vague, but because we haven’t fully figured out our training costs, which can vary significantly per app. We are very much in the “Do things that don’t scale” phase where we hand-pick our customers, provide white-glove treatment and prioritize learnings over price

I don't know who any of these people are, but from a cursory look at the discussions, it looks like there's more to it. Obviously Twitter has also recently banned people (PG e.g
.) for no reason, so who knows.

One thing I'll say, having clicked through to Wired, where apparently the banned person works, it's a little tiresome to see the "we emailed Twitter to ask about it and got a poop emoji as a reply" trope.

Robinhood to launch default-public user profiles on May 17th
Per email I received from Robinhood today, titled “We’re updating our privacy policy”:

>>

We’re updating our privacy policy

Hi,

Starting May 17, you and other customers may be eligible to use Pay & Request. This feature will let you and your friends send each other money on Robinhood.

As part of this launch, we’re revisiting our Privacy Policy and making some changes that impact your privacy settings. Your profile visibility settings will be updated so people with a spending account can search for you on Robinhood. See the full details of our updated Privacy Policy which will take effect on May 17.

How exactly are my privacy settings changing?

On May 17, people with a Robinhood spending account who can use Pay & Request can search for your profile. This will be the default setting unless you opt out beforehand. No one outside of the Robinhood app will be able to see your profile information.

How can I change my profile visibility settings?

https://applink.robinhood.com/edit_profile_and_visibility

You can manage how people can find your profile in your profile visibility settings. Your election won’t take effect until May 17 but you can adjust your settings at any time before then. You can choose between two options:

Anyone on Robinhood - Anyone with a spending account can find you. You can adjust if they can search by your name and username, phone number, or email. This option will automatically take effect. If you’d rather stay hidden, you can change your settings before May 17 or any time after.

No one - No one will be able to find your profile.

What information will display on my profile?

Your profile shows your profile picture, username, full name, the year you joined, and the transaction history between you and the person viewing it. Don’t worry—your profile doesn't contain any sensitive personal or financial information.
The optimal training tokens for 65B parameters is like 80T.

There are objective measurements that people can agree on, even in subjective realms.

In terms of popular impact, SSC obviously wins. However among "insiders" there are always implicitly lauded favorites. Is it about the general capacity to convey complex topics succinctly, general "immersion" in the writing and ability to consistently foster a compelling mind-space via the imagery and ideas handled in the text, etc?

This is just me being a curious outsider. Interestingly I often peer into insular communities and find that there's often an unsaid tapestry of implicit assumptions and customs. All that I've discovered so far is that SSC is the darling favorite, Yud is liked but also made fun of for his behavior and more blunt approach, and Gwern is liked but not as notable, though imo he has the best website.

Is the best way to peer into these ideas via a prolonged investigative type outside observation, or should one feel only a worthy potential to fit in to the common character of the crowd if they can take a short peek at the general shape of the culture and immediately "get it"?

It’s funny to praise language niceties and speak against macros in the same post. Macros are just the easiest way to add new language features to your code.

My fav example is automatic sql table and column typo checking. The macro introspects the db and you get syntax errors if the table/column isn’t found. Same idea can also be used for csv and json. Or api spec file on different server-the compiler can make http requests to show you syntax errors

> Some executables distributed on npm do provide lockfiles but those aren't SBOMs

Not entirely sure what this sentence means (some executables?), NPM generates lockfiles and, while lockfiles are not SPDX/CycloneDX equivalent, the overlap in intent and content is strong. SBOM makes just as much sense at this level as the existing lockfile generation mechanism.

Why not go old school and read a book: "Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" by D Hofstadter"

It's a classic (in my view). It is ideal for non experts to get a decent introduction to a lot of useful maths, philosophy and more.

It covers Cantor and infinities n that and puts them into context too. I describe it as a very easy read given the subject matter.
Mild temperatures most of the time throughout the year is something I miss. Sure, winters are longer than needed, but it is not as bad.
I think the unstated assumption is that if you limit the number of people who have a say enough, a developer could just offer kickbacks to the lot. It's hard to change people's mind by giving a lot of people a little money. It's much easier to give fewer people a modest amount of money.
This is a possibility that we don't reach AGI due to many such unforeseen obstacles.

However, there is another concerning problem, that being what we have is a very sophisticated machine of unpredictable behavior.

The more immediate concern will be giving such more control over important systems than we should. I have a feeling that within a year or so the euphoria may fade as we are left dealing with endless numbers of "bugs" in black box systems that we can't define the behavior.

> That doesn't mean they don't exist for other users

Right, but it also doesn't mean issues with the OS. They can be issues with the desktop environment.

> I feel like your view on Windows seems outdated and based on FUD you read online not on long term personal experience.

I used windows for a long time, but not in years. So do tell me for example, if I wanted to shrink the task bar to say, 25px height, which is much smaller from what Windows allowed me in the past, how would you do this?

Additionally, many of the guides I'm reading for removing ads and telemetry are much more involved than adding those two lines to the X config. Some of them involve the command prompt, and some are just links to third party proprietary software. I'd rather have screen tearing than telemetry and ads, and if this mythical "average user" feels the opposite way, I'd wager say that's a user failure, not an OS failure.
What kind of aspirations do you expect from most people? I always thought being content with a simple life was part of the magic.
oh I have another anecdote! I was just now looking up Python `iterators` vs `generators`, where I asked:

> In Python, what differentiates an iterator from a generator?

and it answered:

> [...] An iterator can be more flexible than a generator because it can maintain state between calls to __next__(), whereas a generator cannot. For example, an iterator can keep track of its position in a sequence, whereas a generator always starts over from the beginning. [...]

Which is flat-out wrong! Of course a generator can preserve state, otherwise how could it even work! (a generator preserves state implicitly by being a closure)"

(Of course, ChatGPT is an evolving system so yes I provided feedback on this. I'm sure in a year or two, I'll be looking back at this gotcha! and cringing.)
We have a few privacy controls in place:

1. We hash all inner text and then backfill static strings on the server side. So every text that is specific to the user remains hashed

2. We detect special cases like passwords, SSNs, credit cards, and completely block it (even not hashed)

3. We provide full privacy controls to our customers to easily mask any sensitive elements

4. We discard the user IP and don't require any PII to be sent. So we can connect a session together, but don't really know who the user is

I will go against the trend and disagree. IMHO anyone writing software in C or C++, ASM is an extremely valuable skill. Its really hard to debug code if you don't understand what the compiler is outputting.

If you ever do software vulnerability research, or reverse engineering it is also very important.

I know its a spicy take, and probably due to my reversing background, but I almost look at C as more of a macro language for ASM. In fact when I write in C, often times I think about what the compiler will produce. It also makes sure that when I write things, I am not doing it in an architecture specific way.
This could arguably be because Google is a lot better than ChatGPT right now.

I asked chatGPT to create a meal plan, which it did, and all the recipes looked great, except, clicking the links for the recipes showed that they were completely made up, and either the links didn’t exist or were generated links, which in case they did were recipes for something completely different.

Doing the same search at Google may have required a couple of clicks, but all the top listing would return a weekly meal plan.
> So your "friends" in essence, force you to use these platforms. If you don't you will be treated as a social outcast, a pariah. It makes you wonder what these "friends" really are in the first place.

I think this is truthy, but I abandoned social media a long time ago and my experience is different. At first, I lost touch with a lot of people and my world became small. After some time people found me (I still run a blog, so I'm discoverable) and now folks will call and visit with me. I get a lot more authentic conversations with folks because they know I'm not going to put them on blast. I still have my judgements and my opinions like anyone, but those, I think, are easier for people to deal with.

Slight correction: it's one federal government minister setting a rule in 2021 for his own department and being broadly criticized. He is no longer in office (he is now opposition leader and seems to be quite an unsuccessful/unpopular one if recent by-election results are any indicator).

So yes, it's very hyperbolic to suggest these are "going to get banned in ... Australia".

There are always potential other ways of doing something, but blockchains are readily available now. It’s like looking at a python library and commenting “i could implement some of that functionality in C, you don’t need to use python”. At some point it becomes a matter of reinventing the wheel.

It has been studied, with ~46 studies using three sorts of approaches. Haidt's writeup is below. His conclusion is that the available evidence shows that social media causes mental health issues, not the other way around. Though you can look through the studies yourself if you'd like.

I'll caveat this by stating I'm not an expert in the area, but the obvious difference seems to be that I can keep growing more trees to burn, while the only way to keep burning coal is to dig up more of it. Burning a tree may release the same amount of CO2 as burning the coal, but the carbon in the tree was taken out of the air during the growing process, so the total amount of CO2 hasn't changed over the lifetime of the tree. Burning the coal releases previously stored carbon without a way to "re-store" it since new coal isn't being created at nearly the rate we're burning it.

Really burning the tree would have the same problem if you were burning them far faster than new trees were growing, but the idea is that you don't do that. The problem with fossil fuels is have no way of restoring it remotely as fast as we're burning it, so the net amount of carbon in the air has to go up.

I did something very similar where I taught myself obsidian markdown and advanced slides. It took a few hours but now that I know how it works and have a few templates I can knock out great looking slides in a matter of minutes. Hell I can write sql that builds the markdown for me and use mermaid to render the flow charts. It’s all about being able to learn and figure things out on your own. Spending that day learning is going to save me so much time doing tedious work of making slides for presentations.

A radio telescope on the scale of Arecibo - where you are after extremely large surface area for detection of faint signals - is limited by the size of the dish.

Hey! Thanks for not taking offense at my (very purposefully) "strong" opinion :-)

To be clear, I'm not fundamentally opposed to your point. That said, strong opinion incoming -- I think adding the "in my opinion" and "I could be wrong" doesn't actually solve the problem.

It's like the boss who says, "my door is always open" when nothing could be further from the truth. Or adding "no offense intended" to a clearly offensive statement.

What matters is the environment, not the words spoken. If the environment is right, the words are unnecessary. If the environment is wrong, the words are a lie.
