Something you might miss from the abstract but would get if you clicked in the PDF and got into it is that they identified characteristics of GPT-written essays that were different from human essays that were not cryptic, statistical or watermark features but rather specific differences in writing style: for instance GPT does not make typos and writes more complex sentences than real students.
I think that boils down to CAP theorem and whether or not you want to shift the problems onto the user.
With collaborative tools like chat or shared document editing. It's far easier for the system to deal with and for the user to conceptualise an availability error like not being connected to the WiFi or the cloud provider being down for a moment. Than it would be to deal with consistency errors like conflict resolution and asynchronous communication, eg: high volume chat channels/threads where responses arrive out of order or too late to be relevant.

It's just easier to switch to a different tool like IM or phone when one cloud tool is down so you can quickly discus the topic there, that to postpone your mental train for when everything is eventual consistent. Or to switch to the 'offline' tools we already have, like e-mail, which require you to rethink your train of though to the different medium.

Also central authorization and authentication are not to be overlooked. Those problems also suffer heavily when partitioned.

As trust in journalism declines, I wonder if/when we will start to see a reversal of this?

Providing sources, and bragging about providing sources when other news orgs do not, seems like it would be a great selling point to a lot of people. At the same time, I would also bet that the vast majority of people would never check/click the sources if provided, especially if structured like a bibliography and pushed off to the side. Just the comfort of believing the sources are available would be enough to keep people coming back, meaning journalists would get to have their cake and eat it too.

Hey thanks for this take. Definitely feels like the approach I should take based on their behaviour.

Besides, what’s the harm in me discussing “intended behaviour”?
It might be worth considering other crises and their impact on teen mental health. I grew up in the UK in the 80s during two crises. First, it was the Cold War and there was a very real risk of nuclear Armageddon; we were all aware of it because it was all over the media. Second, it was the height of IRA bombing campaign in the UK and we heard of children our age being blown to bits while out shopping with their parents, etc. But in spite of those risks, which did impact adolescents, there was no massive uptick in mental illness.
What about spoofing IP addresses (bittorrent DHT / IPFS / deliberately faked Tor IP leaks / etc.) or a combined technique, so that the police think illegal material was shared from that IP, and when they come to investigate they find large quantities of random data, which they think is encrypted?
Glad someone mentioned this!!! It is one of good reason to self-host! And only send sneak peek to social media sites. Stallman has a recommendation similar to that on what to post to FB.

Only use social media as a notification/publishing/advertising system, post important stuff on your own site.

But is that an anti-environment stance or an anti-big-green stance? I can understand people being sick of the mishandling of the crisis that is being funded with their money.

He is inverting the embedded SVG's colors using CSS. However, that CSS is JavaScript applied and doesn't trigger on page load. SVG offers a nice 'currentColor' color value, which resolves to the inherited text-color. Replacing stroke='#000000' with stroke='currentColor' would solve this bug without requiring any JS.

I currently think finance and statistics, so people don't get fooled so easily. Both require algebra as a foundation.

> "Depending on your game, it can be anywhere between 70% and 90% of all revenue coming from your VIP base."

It's interesting that this plays out in these free-to-play games in the same way it does in other vice industries. I was really shocked a few years ago when I read something similar about the alcohol industry - https://www.the-american-interest.com/2014/10/05/the-alcohol..., where similar dynamics play out. “If the top decile somehow could be induced to curb their consumption level to that of the next lower group (the ninth decile), then total ethanol sales would fall by 60 percent.”

Maybe this is just how all industries work? It's hard to know without looking at individuals whether these whales are big spending because they have a lot of money, or if they're burning through credit cards and spending their kids lunch money.

Here in the UK we have legalised gambling, which the industry tries very, very hard to portray as being an average person spending a small amount once in a while. I imagine the truth is a lot more sinister. Is prohibition the answer? Or just a quick fix that doesn't deal with the underlying problems.

Funnily, my learnings from this are the exact opposite.

The majority of US problems come from the inherent duality of the political system. Every matter gets split among political lines, with one party for, the other against, regardless of merits. What would fix that would be to move to popular votes (real, proportional popular votes, not first past the post disenfranchising the vast majority of the population), which would result in more parties emerging, which would lead to more nuance, actual debates and compromises.

If your proposal is enacted, what changes? Governors, elected by first past the post (checking the stats for 2022, with 40-60% of the vote)[1], or state congresses, which are also elected by first past the post and thanks to gerrymandering are usually highly partisan with near total domination of one party[2], elect the two senators for the state. What's the difference? Same two parties as before, same stupid dividing lines on every single topic, same impossible to achieve supermajority needed to do anything significant.

Oh, and actual political finance limits. Whoever came up with "companies donating millions to politicians is free speech so nothing can be done to limit that" is either a massive idiot or extremely biased towards big money influencing elections.

It may be great to have a functional language which will write you an SQL query, but I have a hard time to image how else are you going to use a language for describing immutable data structures to edit mutable things.

Maybe you will be interested in Erlang as a functional way to manage something as mutable as network stream.

Maybe you need to learn about array programming languages (APL, J, K). They say about SQL as "to suck data throw a thin pipe" after APL experience.

Maybe you will like dealing with pure AST (I'm talking about Lisp) with no databases at all.
I’m using A Raspberry Pi4 as a dedicated Timemachine backup server with an SSD via USB3. Works perfectly for a year or so.
Almost-real-looking CGI is one thing. I find some of these AI images to be far creepier because they look so plausible, but then the longer you look the worse it gets. Pretty girl on a beach at sunset! But there's a hand resting on her waist, and she's alone. And she has six fingers on one hand. And one foot is the wrong way around. And then you realise that she has too many teeth and they go past the end of her lips... and one is poking out from one of her eyes. And then it gets weirder.
Its main benefit is it's memory-hard in addition to time-hard. You're not just repeating a hash function across a few dozen bytes a few thousand times, you're doing it over tens or hundreds of MB, thus making it much harder to scale up an attack.
So rich people deserve better healthcare?

We have an expensive tier here in the UK. Not many people use it. When they do it takes doctors and nurses away from treating more urgent needs in the NHS system.
Until you call a doctor in the UK.
In general, our government is dysfunctional and has many points at which we may have a tyranny of the minority. I'd do a few things to resolve it:

- greatly reduce the power of the Senate, effectively limiting it to the ability to veto legislation and judicial appointments with a two-thirds majority (effectively a "state's veto" over a runaway federal government)

- the House of Representatives should be elected based on per-state proportional representation; districts are an antiquated concept from an era where people traveled by ship and horseback, and don't really make sense in an age of telecommunications, air travel, automobiles, etc.

- the President should be elected by a direct majority, as the electoral college has outlived its usefulness and exists only to enable a president to win an election with a majority of votes
The forces arrayed against you are too great, and likely driven by financial and political considerations. Best get another job, or keep your head down. I have worked in large orgs where senior managers have taken back handers from vendors. I've even seen someone dismissed for that reason. My guess is there's shady stuff going on several levels up, and it will only hurt you if you try to fix it.
A contra-narrative to your point is that there exist a minority of people who hold very specific and very dogmatic views about gender. These people are pushing their views through the education system (I do not know the extent of it, just that it exists), and seemingly without the consent of parents (i.e., social transitions without informing parents).

While I deeply disagree and detest the use of the term "groomer", the people who are doing so, are doing so in reaction to this dogma. Mind you, this is not about sexual minorities, but about infringing on child-parent relationships. As far as I best know (I can be wrong), the dogma is largely unsubstantiated, and it is not majority accepted in most places around the world (look at the UK for instance). Mind you, this is not about trans or gay acceptance, but the rejection of the biological sex binary, the conflation of sex and gender, and the subversion of parent-teacher relationships in favour of this dogma.

Furthermore, I don't think "groomer" is the modern newspeak. If anything, the dogma that the terrible term "groomer" was meant to counter has the support of countless of mainstream institutions, academic, political, medical, news establishments, etc. Unless you live in a pure conservative bubble of any sorts, the dogma is word, the dogma is the newspeak; for starters, painting actual bigots and people who have compassion for these minorities (but refuse to toe the line behind this dogma) with the same brush by calling them "would-be killers". As such, there is a middle ground to be found, a minority of extremists such as yourself just get in the way.
Wait, maybe you meant one of the other "8-bit" CPUs which actually have 16-bit address bus? That's kinda cheating but yes now we might actually want a programming language, we've got all this RAM to play with, we can make a stack, we can invent data structures, sure, Rust is fine with that setup. Or well, it's crippled, but not in any surprising ways you care about.

But it doesn't seem like there are interesting lessons here? Running the compiler on this sort of hardware was torment (I know, I'm old, I wrote my first software in the 1980s for a Commodore Vic 20, my program source code didn't fit in RAM so my parents had to buy a RAM expansion) but we just wouldn't do that today, we can cross compile from say, a Raspberry Pi, or even a real computer.

Maybe this is different in the UK, but in the US, most police settlements are paid in one of three ways...

1. Insurance. The department isn't out any money and the public gets stuck with higher premiums going forward.

2. General funds. The department isn't out any money and the public has to top up the general fund or forgo other programs.

3. Bonds. The department isn't out any money and public gets double-fucked because they now have to pay fees to the financial industry plus interest.

HEY. It's also probably the simplest way to define/justify personhood. (That's gonna be pretty important with future AI.)
Trust me, Russian can be equally hilarious for us Dutch. Its just that Dutch is a less widely spoken language.

Blyat for example almost reads like blaat which to us is the sound a sheep makes. It also refers to blaten, talking nonsense.

The English word cunt sounds like the Dutch kunt which means can (je kunt means you can). Kunt gets censored in a popular game, even if the rest of sentence is Dutch.

Then we have German where an English listener might think bisschen means bitch, and generally an English speaker might think a German is angry while its just the sound of the language (in contrast to, say, French).

Recently, some Dutch song (I think it was Belgian?) went viral in Ukraine as well.

Anyway, as a native Dutch speaker with autism, gezellig is equal to Orwellian double speak like Russian pravda (theres other examples, too). If its gezellig for others, it might very well not be for me. Or its tokkie level (tokkie = white trash). In other words, not a word I value when others use it.

EDIT: I believe you might find this song by a comedian weird for different reasons than intended: https://youtu.be/ATdRtTtzZ3c (he is singing good morning, good afternoon, its like this: I am a customer).
It's not two aliases, it's also that Verb-Noun two word rule instead more sane two letter rule, which is better suited for interactive use. That this decision was made for the purpose of noise abatement (every character was loudly hammered into a paper by a printer) doesn't make it any less valid today and we still prefer less keystrokes, even on today's silent terminals.

I don't care much about parsing CLI parameters, because after some time they get into muscle memory. Yes, I know `ps` and `tar` have some different legacy conventions but I don't care. I just type what I've remembered. In this area, only the number of keystrokes (corrected for tab completion) counts.

Also, does "consistent argument parsing" work for regular programs written in normal (non-.NET) programming languages like C, Python or Rust? Because if not, then it's not really consistent, only consistent within a specific ecosystem, which can also be said about `getopt(1)`, `getopt(3)`, click or any other language's argv parser.
Excuse me we came here to use data to dog on social media not solve actual problems.

I think the general rule back then was you couldn't make money off it. People would charge for the cost of the cassette or something like that. There were tons of bootlegs out there too.

This solution is suitable for processing documents. For example, figma uses a technique similar to CRDT.

Many people have done that in actual studies. Here's one example: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanplh/article/PIIS2542-5.... It's not just people projecting and thinking "I'm worried about climate change so the kids must be as well."
Just try writing (without hacks/cuts) a run-length encoder that produces only one answer ([9,9,9,8,8,7] -> [[9,3], [8,2], [7,1]]) and works forwards and backwards and then tell me the execution model is not a limitation.

It's the sort of thing where people produce versions that seem to work, but fall into infinite loops or inconsistent extra outputs if you go past the first answer. I'm not sure it's actually possible without meta-programming.
I think they are not close to the uncanny valley yet. Most of the results are still clearly CGI. For the uncanny valley, they have to look really, really accurate, BUT something feels "off" without knowing what. In most of the generated imagery nowadays, if you look closely you can still immediately point out what is off.
Something that doesn't get discussed often when there is an issue is a possible solution. We all just complain or make fun of those who lose out. But the issue here is that sudden changes are a problem. No company should face sudden unexpected tax changes. It creates an unstable business environment and owners cannot adequately plan for the future. Congress needs to extend this write-off for a few years and make it clear that it will not be available in the future. They cannot leave it as a "maybe" situation.

I have personal opinions on this matter that are irrelevant. What matters for the future is how this affects the U.S. competitive advantage with technology, and how this affects the job market. If the impact is significant, Congress needs to act. If not, i.e. if only a few smaller companies are affected, then nothing will change and everyone needs to adjust.

Another factor in parents over protecting kids came from John Walsh. Now, let me preface by saying no parent should endure what his family had to. But he nearly single-handedly caused what we see today where parents get in trouble for letting their kids walk to school or to the park. People today think everyone is a pedo or a child killer because that's what they were fed in the 80s and 90s.
The other way to see it is that offline is the outmost possible edge computing.

Or that offline is zero network latency for the stuff you have on your computer.

Or that offline is, when functional, like online but without surrendering all control over your computing to someone else.

All these metaphors have their own limited scope where they are true and most appropriate.
Especially when the reality is… you can almost go IPv6 only nowadays if you wanted to.

I went down the rabbit hole recently, switching my network to IPv6 primary with IPv4 as the fallback. The ultimate test was disabling IPv4 for a weekend to see what, if anything, broke.

I had set up DNS64, NAT64 and 464XLAT. The only weirdness is how Windows clients handle IPv6 literals in UNC paths, which is super ugly, and how some applications (like Discord calls) will actually embed IPv4 literals. Discord apparently does that for the relay servers for calls.

Those things — and the rare website not supporting it - aside, I could actually be IPv6 only. I have IPv4 enabled as a fallback now, but it’s no longer primary on my network.
Without realising and without having had to set it up themselves.
The Ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle puzzled over the same observations.
