If you want to create one just for yourself, sure. If you want to create something for the rest of the world, probably not very much.

I get the "scratch your own itch" mentality, but not if you kneecap all efforts that try to build on top of it. :D

I rewrote this to be a little more succinct:

document.querySelectorAll('body *').forEach(tag =>
getComputedStyle(tag).position === 'fixed' && tag.remove()
);

- you can use `forEach()` on the NodeList that `querySelectorAll()` returns

- you can use `remove()` directly on the DOM node you want to remove
"Few works of philosophy have the urgency of Reasons and Persons, which was written with extraordinary speed, driving its author to the brink of collapse and its publisher to despair."

Makes me feel slightly less bad about abandoning my first attempt at reading this very dense book. I was trying to read it in short bits (the book is split into quite short sections but with a big apparatus of parts, chapters, sections and so on with implied cross referencing) during a busy time.

I'll try again over the summer in a more concentrated way.

No recourse to spirits or pills though...
What is meant by "labels"?

What I really want is the ability to categorize and separate out certain icons.

Like creating little groups. One for browsers, one for productivity, one for games, one for utilities, etc. That would be so amazing.

You can hack a way of doing it by creating an empty executable with an icon that looks like a divider, but that's just painful to do.

I can keep track of what grifts have made it to the main stream purely by my boss asking me if I'd heard/made money on X yet. As if I'd be here if I made bank off of crypto/nfts/etc. He's in his 70s now and keeps asking for ideas on making it big because the timeshares he bought of some man made island resort didn't play out.
Maybe it is by total volume or flow rate
Very good point! For my next amendment(s) to the idea, I will be attempting to think of a simple way to do M-N. It should naturally also cover 1-1, 1-N, and N-1.

Sure, even though photos are machine made, Humans claim copyright because they had artistic input on composition and framing. Between fully AI generated stuff, and human artistic input prompts causing output there is a line where the results go from copyrightable to not copyrightable. The question is where is that line, legally.

To me GPT is either very close to or already crosses that line.
Concretely, how does Smudge not solve the problem okay?

The challenge with this is guaranteeing termination.
This makes no sense whatsoever.
Classical momentum is mv, not mv^2. Also, momentum is a vector and generally can't be negative.

Quantum mechanical velocity is complicated as well.
Same. Someone needs to make all this both secure and usable. For now, I'll even take "this is going to ruin your day but at least there's a standard and consistent way to deal with this" as usable, maybe we don't want anything easier than that for security reasons.
It never trickled down. It floated up.
Momentum is mv, mv^2 is two times the kinetic energy. (Energy is real in quantum systems as well as classical ones.)

I actually like it that my phone stays in my pocket or backpack when I enter the car, and it just works; also the car keys stay in my pocket and I can just start it.

The wires do work if I need them through CarPlay, or AndroidAuto. And I do use Waze on the car’s built in display sometimes. But mostly - I just enter the car and start driving. No need to put the key in the ignition, or the headphone jack in the phone.
Nice. Pretty impressive project if they can get it going.
Hah! Exactly. You are talking to a guy who GCed his own house build, all trained off YouTube. And I've done a LOT of electrical as part of it. (But for the sake of speed I hired a crew to get the house wired up in 2 weeks. Also needed them for permits / inspections since it was a new build.)
Glad to see ancient Iranian culture featured here. People in the west have a lot of misconceptions about Iran. Persian culture is thousands of years old.
> And how are you supposed to handle the 2FA for your Google account? I mean I have U2F tokens which remove that concern, but that is far from the typical case. If you have the 2FA for your Google account in the Google Authenticator, which is probably a very common case, how does this entire thing work then when you need it, which is when you lose your phone?

You open your safe and you use one of the recovery codes that you wrote down when you setup 2FA.
Oh wow, TIL. Thank you. Hadn't realized that was a new development. Just looked it up and the physics behind it sounds... extremely complicated.
This view doesn't seem to reflect the reality that Gov/LEO have access vastly more (direct and up-to-date) personal information about us than at any time in history.

I find I am not in a hurry to hand over what little space is left.
> irrefutable proof

Anything coming directly from a customer is probably refutable. For example, the incentives I normally see are on these little cards they include with the product encouraging reviews in exchange for a gift card or something similar. What's to stop a competitor from falsely reporting it using a fake incentive card they created?

Amazon could take your report then actually open the product and see if the incentive card is actually stored with every product. But that's a bigger task than just trusting the proof you sent in.
So are you telling me you can just use vanilla iOS to store TOTP like with Authy or Google's Authneticator or 1PAssword but directly into the apple keychain?

That seems nice

There's another problem in that the modern office is not optimized for the really valuable interactions. There is some idea way up in the clouds about free communication and sharing ideas that manifests as open floor plans. What we really need are small quiet areas to focus and do work and separate large areas for socialization and collaboration. The modern office doesn't actually facilitate any of this.

When I was a newbie I sat in a cube across the hall from my boss' private office and next to the kitchen. It was actually really nice. I was in a quiet corner of the office and had full height cube walls with bookshelves and a big whiteboard all to myself. But I could turn around and ask my boss a question or walk less than 30 feet to talk to any of the senior engineers, who all had private offices which doubled as collaboration spaces. The spontaneous interactions happened around the espresso machine. In hindsight it was wonderful but if you looked at that building from the outside you might think it was an outdated dump. We got bought out by a company in silicon valley and they moved us to a new building with an open floorplan and sat us next to the sales team. It was big and bright but we lost all our collaboration space.
I'm an android guy but this looks really good!
I made a webapp to manage my tasks and I think that the market is so full of this type of apps that you should create it only for yourself.
I would definitely go with a new app. Good luck with which method that please you

Bit early for this sort of nit-picking, but that will need to be either a.) an escaped and quoted list or b.) an argv array that doesn't undergo word-splitting.

Bonus consideration: What if the user's shell isn't sh? Perhaps it's out of scope (ie. this shouldn't support every use case of Make), but for what it's worth, they support all sorts of recipe interpreters.
We don't know if there's a state or not. There probably is some kind of state. Many kinds of generations are impossible without it.

>It cannot even distinguish between text it generated and text you added unless you tell it that.

Many people cannot distinguish reality from fiction invented by the brain. This doesn't mean much. If i could insert visual sense into you anytime i wanted, you'd struggle to tell it apart at best.

People can't really recreate mental states. It's all post hoc rationalization.

How credible is sapiens.com? After reading the OP, I found this article (https://www.sapiens.org/archaeology/neanderthals-outlived-ho...), which I feel takes some pretty speculative claims as facts (on the psychology of an long exist species).

I have started using Aegis on android which is fantastic. Backup and restore anywhere.

My advice would be to not have everything in one place, no matter which ecosystem you are on. Going all in is never a good idea whether its Google or Apple. Its great that Google has done this, but just use another app to manage that.
Since we know that these systems have "adversarial examples", are we sure there aren't "adversarial" people, people whose faces/gait/proportions throw off the algorithm, which would not identify that real, adversarial, person as a detected person?

My argument that it won't cause mass unemployment is that most jobs in the economy are not jobs AI can automate because (1) they involve physical work that current robots can't do (like plumbers or any of the building trades), or (2) they involve interaction with other human beings (child care workers, nurses, baristas, waiters, etc.). To the extent jobs are eliminated in AI-adjacent sectors, people will need to shift to these other jobs that AI can't do.
So what would you suggest as a general calculation for finite differences, especially in those cases when only forward differentiation is possible, e.g. with respect to time?
Cue the wave of replies. Um, akshually, its not sentient yet. It's just predicting the next word. Doesnt matter that it can automate most jobs since its not sentient. We just need to stop sentient AI

> Fashion, like movies is exactly the kind business you would expect to attain a global reach.

Why is that so? Fashion is often local to the culture, with different cultures appreciating different, if not opposite things. Eg, tanned skin tone. Tanned skin is popular in America, to the point of having tanning salons - it means you have the leisure time to spend it outside. In China, the opposite is true: tanned skin means you're so poor, you work outside. Fairer skinned people have the money to not go outside to work. Thus, what's fashionable isn't been the two countries isn't going to be the same because of similar differences in culture, so it's hard for me to take that for granted that fashion should be movies. And then even then, movies have the similar problem. How many Bollywood hits are global hits?

Their platform (Windows) is getting a bad reputation due to the problem they neglected to fix (shipping a "vulnerable" curl, informing users when the old curl was getting flagged). They could pass the buck but it's just going to be bad for them later when users think Windows itself has security vulns and breaks itself when the users do what they're told to do by vendors. If they don't want the bad rep, they need to be proactive and work with vendors and better inform customers. If I was the CEO I'd do something about it.
> One novelty revealed by the Dominion lawsuit has thus far been little appreciated: namely, that the overlap between public and private power has made criticism of the government vulnerable to counterattack. In the old days, a theory about polling stations might have been accurate or crazy—but polling was a government function and, thus, fair game. Now, an increasing number of government duties are contracted out to private companies that can demand compensation for any reputational damage that might affect their private interests (even if, as is the case with Dominion, their contracts are largely with the government). Presumably, the same vulnerability to litigation can be turned against newspapers that criticize the military strategy of Constellis (formerly Blackwater) or conditions in prisons run by CoreCivic (formerly the Corrections Corporation of America). We often think we use the word “plutocracy” as a metaphor, but in fact, certain prerogatives for public-private entities are being formalized through cases like Dominion v Fox News. If you criticize a government activity run by a private company, the company can retaliate.
Search for "quirk" on the Linux kernel sources, and you'll see plenty of working around other's mistakes. One could even argue that being tolerant of shitty hardware is one of the reasons that allowed Linux to become popular; it could run on the hardware people had, instead of on the hardware people wished they had.
> shit customers that expect those shit hours. My brother got angry calls from customers because he dared to say no when they wanted him to ditch his daughter's birthday party on a Saturday to go fix their AC immediately.

Somewhat cautiously optimistically I think this sort of behavior will slowly disappear, one funeral at a time, as the Boomer generation finds the urn. I do not know or know of a single millennial in my first or second order groups that would ever dare to treat any service/blue collar person with anything but the utmost respect and deference.

Any thoughtful continuation of this subject requires us to get into the weeds: even doing just that is enough to attract heavy criticism.

When it comes to porn, the general consensus is that it must be based on consent. But even that is ambiguous: whose consent are we talking about? The actors, or the characters they portray?

It's very straightforward to require consent of each person filming. No matter what the story is, actors have human rights that must be actively preserved.

But what about the content itself? Porn that portrays fictional sexual assault is generally accepted as morally good. How? Audience.

A person may have a fantasy where they are the victim of assault. Are they doing anything wrong? No. It isn't wrong to be a victim, or to imagine it. From that perspective, the foundation of consent is met. An adult watching fictional assault porn can bring their own consent into the experience, reframing the content into a useful and healthy context.

But what if that person is not an adult? The general consensus is that a child cannot give consent. I think a better framing would be to say that an adult cannot ask for, accept, or use a child's consent. This rule is the foundation for making it criminal to sell porn to minors.

Many would argue that any fictional portrayal of a child being sexually assaulted cannot have a moral perspective or utility. A child might be able to fantasize as the victim of their own assault, but no adult can sell a fictional portrayal of that fantasy to them.

---

So all that's left are the weeds: should a person watch fictional assault porn while imagining themselves as the perpetrator? Should fictional child sexual assault media be used as a pacifier for pedophiles?

These are hard ugly questions, and the emotional response from most people is an unequivocal, "no". Can we trust our emotions to lead to justice, or do they simply distract us with victory?
Yeah me too. I wish I never swapped my old car for a Tesla gimmick.

The problem is that sometimes, you aren't really cut out for the PhD. Or the program burns you out. What then? What if you and your advisor have such severe conflicts that a PhD (or whatever) is not really feasible? What if your advisor just decides one day that they're not going to help any of their students become part of the community of minds, so all you have at the end of all this is a piece of paper and no meaningful contacts to get a job? In my case, I was still clinging to this idea that I could be a college professor, and it wasn't until I got the chance to exit with a masters that I started to accept that I wasn't cut out for it.

The problem is not that people end up with "useless" degrees - it's a rare day indeed that I do something even vaguely related to what I went to school for. The problem is that we as a society are addicted to blaming 18-24 years olds for not being perfect fucking fortune tellers when it comes to choosing a profession for the next 20 years, with an absolute minimum of data or tools to collect or evaluate that data. The problem is that we as a society say "you specialized in creating and operating specialized widget 'A', but while you were studying for that, the market shifted and now we only want specialized widget 'B', and the consequences of that market shift are completely and solely your burden to bear".

All of this to say that no matter how up-front we are about what the end of these long programs is, we are still, STILL asking people to make the right long-term decision, while insisting that they are also too young to rent a car because they won't make the right long-term decisions. "You're too young to buy alcohol, as you might make the wrong decision which could lead to an outcome that will haunt you for decades. Also, pick your career, right now. Delaying this decision will definitely cost you thousands of dollars, waste years of your life, and disrupt your social development (but picking wrong will have the same impacts, but magnified). It may bar you from certain housing situations. No, we won't help you meaningfully engage with the question, or help you understand the right questions to ask. You're an adult now, no one is going to hold your hand, take responsibility for yourself!".
You just have to mention how this could be used to find out who's talking about guns and what lobbyists are saying to elected officials.
I finished reading 1984 (the novel) yesterday, so my comments are under some influence.

This global movement against encryption -- against citizen's privacy, really -- is all about power maintenance. Power groups want to have access to our conversations so when the election period approaches, they will be able to run sentiment analysis on the data collected from our conversations, and then fine tune their election campaigns accordingly. All the current excuses about fighting organized crime, violence to children etc. are well known excuses used for many years within different context to roll out surveillance bills.
There is nuance in the statement that you're referring to. Works created by an AI are not copyrightable, but works created by humans who use AI tools are copyrightable.

Non-humans do not have copy rights from the things they create. However, humans have copy rights even when they use tools.

What you're describing about writing a mutex with cmpxchg is a spinlock. If you just use that operation it's also a very inefficient spinlock.

The point of a lock free algorithm is to avoid having a thread wait on a resource and not do any work. It may do useless work that needs to be reverted, but it's not sleeping or spinning until something happens. It's not guaranteed that you can do that for every algorithm in a way that makes sense performance wise.

Here's a nice resource I used on my thesis for an adequate but not perfect spinlock with atomic instructions:
