It isn't even that the deduction went away, it must now be amortized over five years (an accounting trick on the part of Congress to pretend they're not spending money they are).

This hurts businesses more the smaller they are, but paradoxically it also hurts businesses more the higher percentage of their revenue they spend in payroll. Literally if you give your employees a bigger reward for their work, you're hurt harder by this ridiculous law.

If you're a sociopathic CEO with 8-10 engineers whose work output isn't directly tied to profit, and you're paying out most or all of your profit in salaries, you're definitely going to be looking at letting a few of them go to ease the tax hit.

> To prevent unwanted wake-ups, you'll need to ensure no device on the network is sending extraneous packets to the server

Assume the home network is using 10.0.x addresses.

I wonder if it would be useful to put the server on 10.1.x, add a virtual ethernet interface to the RPi that is also on 10.1.x, and configure the RPi to route between 10.0.x and 10.1.x. Configure the RPi to drop any extraneous packets directed to 10.1.x from 10.0.x.

On the Mac "route add -net 10.1.0.0/16 Rpi" and add a name and the server's IP to /etc/hosts.

With that approach you might also make it so the RPi runs a script whenever something tried to make a TCP connection to the server, and that script could deal with telling the server to wake. That way you can choose a wake method for the server without having to worry about whether or not other things on the network might accidentally trigger it.

Literally every time I've set out to make a game, I've let perfectionism get in the way. Some examples:

- Spending all my time thinking about how to support 10 different resolutions

- Coming up with the perfect framework for managing state

- Working on silly menu systems and other UI elements

- Finding the perfect map builder and obsessing over data representations

- Tweaking an entity component system to death

- Etc

Next time I set out to make something, I'm not going to worry too much about the code. If the idea has merit, I'll refactor it later if I need to.

Summary--It's really easy to let details get in the way of ideas.
The core tech of LLMs is famously simple. All the rest decomposes just fine. I know we suck at it and there often nontechnical forces that steer us into other directions, but I don’t see big fundamental issues AI can’t already help with.

I know that there is complexity, but the essential part of it is not our job. That is my point. We are accidental complexity managers. I know we like to think working on compilers and browsers is magic, but compared to other fields it’s nothing special.

And by the way, you and I know that exactly 6.78% of devs are employed in those domains and of those 1.12% work on core parts.

I am sorry if I come off annoying and stupid because I am both. You of course raise an interesting point it’s just that I don’t feel like going into wide(r) tangents.
Not true so much in mice. Because we use isogenic cohorts we get pseudo-longitudinal data per genome. Ten of you, ten of me scanned every 10 years. And we can do all 20 scans in mice within 1 month of machine time. We just finished scanning 110 mice—half young and half much older—all with balance for genomes and sex.

> collective post-1930s society

Yes exactly, we abandoned deontological liberty for utilitarian collectivism. We decided that outcomes were more important than principles. The whole nation was founded on the principle that individual liberty was the primary concern. Being forced to cooperate with someone else's version of "the good", whether that someone was elected or not, is morally unacceptable to many people.

If we're pursuing utilitarianism, then we'll end up in the PRC. Lots of their policies are quite effective from an outcomes perspective. If you embrace collectivism, where and by what principle do you draw the line around individual autonomy? Is it just anything the majority agrees on goes?

I keep asking you about moral justification and you respond with legal obligation. These are not the same thing. How do you determine if a law is moral or not? I've outlined some principles by which to do so, how do you do it?

> in a fair society

I guess we have different definitions of "fair" - would you care to provide your definition? This is kind of my point: different people have different definitions of "good" and "fair" and "just". Given there is no higher authority to appeal to, it's unreasonable to impose your definition on others. Your definition isn't inherently any more correct than mine. The only difference is your comfort in imposing.

Firewalls, air gaps, and authentication are still quite effective. Having a person who authenticates through those on your behalf, and exfiltrates information by hand, is still valuable. Not to mention the information and work that is intentionally kept in-person.

To see the value of spying, see two recent news cycles:

The 21-year-old National Guardsman who leaked a bunch of sensitive info for forum cred (thereby causing a lot of headaches for the U.S. presidential administration). Just imagine that info going to a foreign govt instead.

The court case in which Google got admonished for taking any sensitive info off of chat, and auto deleting history. A spy in those offline conversations could still report on what was said.
Do we do things like this for other technology or for other software? Why the huge intense fear as soon as someone puts a label 'AI' on a piece of software?
Not sure if that had been ineffective or other approaches than current one didn't align with user goals.

I truly do believe that small games can be good. I know plenty of small games and pretty much the only games I have really loved in the last few years are small. But I don't agree with "A game's quality is independent from its scale". I actually think making a small game good is much harder. If you have fewer dials to tweak, it's harder to come up with a configuration you haven't seen a dozen times already. Especially not one that works. Most of the ideas that I want to work on are larger games, because I don't have any ideas for small games that I imagine to be good. I wish I had them. I have made a bunch of games and also many game jam games (i.e. smaller games - maybe 15+? - see here: https://theshoemaker.de/projects), but I think none of them are actually good. Nothing like the tiny games other people have made, that I adore. That is a level of mastery I have simply not reached (yet?). Of course I am aware that I can just try more things, because the stakes are lower, but you need a critical amount of falling-in-love with an idea to even start and all the ideas I do fall in love with are for larger games.
If I posted as frequently within the short amount of time as you have on this topic, my account would have been throttled. My account is frequently throttled for posting more than 5-7 times per hour, and yet, your recent history shows a far higher rate of posts in defense of Russia with no evidence of throttling.

That's very interesting. I wonder if limits are relaxed above 8k karma.

While we're at it, imagine how awesome an ordinary search engine could be if we would give it access to all the info behind firewalls.
Right, and in that I can mostly get behind. Again, I don't think the researcher is wrong. I think it is wrong to "pick a side" and only buy in to that.

You are right that I was referring to the shooting. But you will have to tell me why that isn't a mental health thing. Do I think it is also a gun control issue? Certainly, but even without the guns, those kids were still very mentally unstable. And growing up in that time, I knew many mentally unstable people. Luckily, they didn't have access to guns.

Similar statement could be about social media. Before 2010s, they didn't have access to social media. My assertion would be that they were likely still there.

Now, is mental illness contagious? I'd wager that is probable. But I don't know for sure. And I'm going to guess you need evidence and an open mind to both "sides" presented in this post to progress to an answer.
> The writing skills that became worthless for this guy were the ones that weren't worth much to begin with.

Exactly. The market price for anything is determined by both demand and supply. The demand for good writing is relatively unchanged. The supply is also relatively unchanged. In the case prior to ChatGPT that demand and that supply were somewhat low, or as you say - not worth much to begin with.

Oh sure, there's always the Stephen King's and Tom Clancy's of the world, but guess what? They were always the exception anyway and they will continue to be. The same argument can be made for musicians.
We're safe for a few months. Asked about how did T-800 figured the foster parents are dead based on the exchange, and got:

"Yes, there is a strong cue in the exchange that suggests to the T-800 that John's foster parents are dead. The cue is that when the T-1000, impersonating Janelle, answers the phone and John asks about Wolfie, she responds by saying, "Wolfie's fine, honey. Wolfie's just fine." The use of the word "just" in this context can indicate that Janelle is trying too hard to convince John that everything is okay with the dog, suggesting that she may be lying or trying to cover up something. This small detail is enough to alert the T-800 that something is amiss and to determine that John's foster parents are likely dead".

Here's the rest of the conversation for fun:

Q: That's not it.

A: I apologize for the confusion. I'm afraid I'm not able to guess the cue you are referring to without more context or information. Can you please tell me what the cue is?

Q: The T-800 knows that the dog is named Max, but deceptively asks about "Wolfie", to which the T-1000 answers that Wolfie is fine. The real Janelle would have known that the dog is not named Wolfie.

A: Thank you for pointing that out. You are correct that the T-800's knowledge of the dog's name is a significant cue that suggests to him that something is wrong. By asking about "Wolfie" instead of Max, the T-800 is intentionally using a false name for the dog to test whether the person on the other end of the line is actually John's foster mother or the T-1000 in disguise. When the T-1000 responds with "Wolfie's fine," it confirms to the T-800 that Janelle is an imposter, as the real Janelle would have known the dog's real name. The T-800's subsequent revelation to John that his foster parents are dead is based on this realization and its mission to protect John from the T-1000.

> Do people realize that Keccak replaces a lot of complexity and offers powerful composable primitive already?

It’s a bit more complicated than that. If you look at the various constructions proposed by the Keccak team, most notably Farfalle and Kangaroo12 I believe, you’ll notice they adjust the number of rounds given the use case. That is, they’re not just proposing a secure permutation that let us compose any construction for which we could devise a security reduction. I mean you could do that, but the results would likely be slower than ideal. https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/1492.pdf

Instead they are tailoring their constructions to lower the requirements on the underlying permutation, in some cases allowing reduced rounds. The price they pay for that is re-doing the entire cryptanalysis: their constructions are effectively new primitives.

The actual simplification is more for implementers: with one permutation to rule them all our source code becomes quite a bit smaller.
You were probably missing this feature when using Apache Avro with Java
Apache Avro union types have no counterpart in the Java language and it always been a struggle working with the Avro schema generated Java classes, where union types were bound to pure Object types. With little compiler extension it is possible to solve it with Java interfaces.

Distribute it.

E.g. one idea would be to make some kind of browser extension that scrapes tweets when the user loads a page from Twitter.

You could make it free by offering users some kind of feature in exchange (post tweets later or some kind of analytics or something). You could make it cheaper than paying for the Twitter API by paying users to install the extension (e.g. you could give out 4,200 $10 Amazon gift cards a month for the price of the Twitter API).

You could also use one of those networks that let you use people's home IP's if it's IP rate-limited.

Less ethically, you could try to pay an owner of an already-popular browser extension to bundle in a Twitter scraper. I don't know what that costs, but at $42k/month for the real API, you could probably pay a pretty penny and have it still be cheaper.

> I assert that you should not pick a side. Instead, you should look at how you can add to and learn from the data.

Haidt is sufficiently convinced by the existing data that he feels strongly that what is called for is action, not more data collection (or perhaps, action alongside more data collection).

You are apparently not as convinced as Haidt. That's OK, but you need to consider the perspective of someone who feels that we've already established what is happening with sufficient confidence that we need to move onto action.

And as Haidt says: what is the cost if the skeptics are wrong vs. if the alarm ringers are wrong?

Don't worry, your attention is abused only as long as it is of value. I.e. only to the degree said attention triggers an action that ultimately brings about profit.

Adriano,

In the article you mention "Cloudflare" a few times, but I think you mean "Cloudfront". For example: "web-assets.strava.com resolves to Cloudflare, see the writeup on my site for details"

I'm assuming this was a typo based on the names sounding so similar and both being CDN's. Is that correct?
Just so!
Try connecting to an SSH server for more than a few hours without passing traffic and then have the server be the one to send a message. Oops! Your ISP tore down the NAT association and you have no idea the server isn't sending anything until you try to communicate with the server and get a timeout / RST.

NAT breaks TCP, but at least with consumer NAT you're in control of the timeouts on your router. With CGNAT you're at the mercy of an ISP that likely optimizes for HTTP and has low timeouts that you can't control.
This might be true, if the policies advanced by legislators more-closely reflected what voters want. Instead, we have a bunch of very-popular reforms that never get done for a variety of reasons, but the one-two punch of the two-party system and the Senate filibuster are a big part of why. Though, personally, I'd say our system naturally stabilizing at two parties is the bigger of those two problems—it's the core reason why major legislative bodies in the US can end up maintaining or advancing laws and policy that differ sharply from what a large majority of voters want, session after session. Unfortunately, fixing that would require a bunch of legislators or a bunch of states to vote against their own interests. So, probably not gonna happen, ever.
