The consequences of AI for human personhood and creativity
Yeah that’s pretty obvious, and yours sounds a bit like it too, especially starting off with “While…”. I do find it hilarious that the ChatGPT default style sounds very much like how I wrote in high school. I guess I was still training my own language model at that point, so it kinda makes sense.
I think he's underestimating the damage he's doing to the site. Every respectable person is looking for the exit, it's just that the Twitter moat is very high. But it's not limitless. If any twitter alternative like Mastodon or Notes or BlueSky or whatever gets real traction, Twitter is going the way of Digg.
Historically once people recognize the media is not trustworthy they discount it. You see this in the former USSR countries. People don't take the media seriously like they do in the west.

I hire US and Canadian engineers. Canadians working remote aren’t any cheaper when benefits are included than US employees, at least the quality I hire. European engineers are good but the time difference is literally the problem. 5 to 8 hours makes it impossible for me. All in costs are 150k for junior and 280k for top tier including benefits. We have equity but it’s not liquid. If I could hire Indians I would but simply put I have found them to be quite poor quality over many experiences, I assume the good Indian engineers are already employed by solid satellite offices of major US companies or have emigrated.

I've had a go at doing it in Go and the ActivityPub spec is so loosely defined that it's just a real challenge if you intend to actually unmarshal the JSON you receive

It's not completely impossible but you have to be okay with discarding a lot of unknown options or essentially reverse engineering the objects used by the servers you are federated with

That's not to say it's impossible, I was able to crawl the network successfully, but it hints at the reason that Mastodon and Pleroma use dynamic languages

I'd be very interested to see a flexible/complete AP implementation in any statically typed language

Fwiw WriteFreely is implemented in Go with go-fed but -- correct me if I'm wrong -- that library seemed more limited to me than what Pleroma and Mastodon support
I also struggle. :D I think `(eats tiger plant)` would be fine, but it isn't.

> it is possible to shadow the BASIC ROM on the Amstrad CPC 464 (1984).

The ROM and RAM run at the same speed on that machine, so speed gain is not a motivation.

> You could copy the ROM to the RAM and permanently switch in the RAM.

Permanently? In principle you might be able to do that, but it's certainly not easy. The firmware switches ROMs/RAM all the time (lower ROM 300 times per second, higher ROM often when BASIC runs). You would need to patch the routines that perform ROM switching to make them switch only lower ROM. Fortunately those routines are already copied in central RAM because they need to operate whatever the ROM configuration, so it is possible to patch them. Still, the patched version would probably be more complex, so you'd need to borrow some more bytes elsewhere. Also make sure that no change is needed to the first 64 bytes (address range 0x0000-0x003F) because when ROM is enabled there they don't have your RAM-based changes.

> That ROM is normally located at C000h, shared with bank-switched RAM storing the display at the same address.

Beware, the optional external disk drive on the CPC464 adds another ROM at the sames address. So, if you want to keep compatibility, do patch the routine right, so that they do bank-switch that ROM, but when targeting BASIC ROM they actually re-enable RAM (not the same hardware registers as explained on the reference you posted).

> Which allowed you to do stuff like modifying the error messages in BASIC to say rude words,

After all that hard work is done, yeah you could replace some strings with other strings of the same length, keeping the most significant bit set as separator, why not. But most strings aren't even stored as is, they are encoded in various ways to save bytes (Basic instruction names, for example), typically only portions of words are in plain 7-bit ASCII.

> You had to do another trick to move the display RAM elsewhere too

More than one trick as shown above.

The welcome message is in lower ROM, so hey, let's go crazy like "I don't need a reason, let's shadow all the ROM". The simplest bet would be to start with a CPC464 without a disk drive, copy both ROMs to RAM, tell firmware to use screen at 0x4000 instead of 0xC000 (easy compared to the rest), patch all areas that define low addresses to shift these by 0x8000 more (much less easy). Then you'd have a system running, with your free RAM for Basic programs around 10k instead of 42k. But hey, the welcome message on system "reset" would be yours.

> not that we would have ever done that.

Definitely. Thanks for the ride.
>As we have stated in the past, there is no effective way to weaken encryption for some use cases such as law enforcement while keeping it strong for others.

I've never been fully satisfied by this assertion.

Apple has the ability to push whatever code it wants to whatever device it wants. They can make a version of iOS that bypasses encryption and restrict it to only run on devices identified by a warrant. They could post it on GitHub and it wouldn't matter because iPhones would refuse to run the code if it had been modified by somebody other than Apple to run on any device. You would need Apple's internal code signing keys to actually do any damage.

Currently, the security of your iPhone is dependent on Apple's internal security. If that gets compromised then your phone can be compromised. In a world where law enforcement can get a warrant to force Apple to unlock a specific iPhone, the security of your phone is still dependent on Apple's internal security. Nothing changes for anyone not targeted by a warrant.

You don't need to give law enforcement a universal backdoor key to enable them to execute warrants on devices. What am I missing?
I recently started eyeing ninja and for many cases it makes more sense than make.

They don't necessarily have shared "language". Cat meows are for one person (their owner) while they use body language and other sounds to communicate with each other.
I've been a 1Password customer for many years. Their product is super solid. The family plan is very generous. I personally don't have an issue with them collecting some telemetry to improve the product. And they've stated they'll offer ways to opt-out.
That, and that even if there was a central utility, documentation was not a priority at the turn of the 20th century, and so the locations of infrastructure are either not even mapped or incorrect.
I believe from previous articles/videos from Jeff that the BAR one is at least addressable via a custom kernel or device tree that sets up a large enough BAR space for those devices. That said I would be surprised if there's a way to easily fix the first problem in software aside from forcing constant cache flushes when dealing with MMIO registers which would be a huge undertaking and probably tank performance in ways that nobody would want since this should be handled by the controller on an as needed basis instead.
A while back I somehow managed to watch Space Is the Place[1] without knowing anything about Sun Ra. The discovery that he was not an actor and was instead a great jazz musician was a wild one. If you haven't seen it, Space Is the Place is a super interesting look into early Afrofuturist films and Sun Ra as a character.

You probably refer to "legitimate interests". If you play that card, you are required to show a "Legitimate Interest Balancing Test", in which you show that your interests are arguably more important than the interest of the consumer: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...

Yeah, but only as a means of transferring them to another device. Sure, you could abort the flow before the existing codes were deleted, but it was far from ideal.

I’m glad there’s finally real support for backing up codes.

At some point, there is no point in distinguishing the two. Does it matter that Boris was a real-life clown or that Labour (or LibDems for that matter) were so high on their own farts as to not be able to make a reasonable challenge when given the opportunity (see 2010 election)?

No, there is not.

Does the export invalidate the existing device after export ? it sounded like it's only for moving to a different device rather than having two at the same time.
Seems fine to me. Opt out is reasonable, I trust 1password to not fuck this up versus, say, LastPass. If you already trust 1password to store your credentials, I see little to no impact to your risk exposure by having them collect anonymized telemetry. Curious if others have thoughts here?

Their UI has changed a lot in recent years, maybe this will enable them to make more informed design decisions so that one day grandparents stop getting lost in their horrible menus.

> Resilience is provided by the protocol being simple enough to implement in a weekend, in your language of choice. Platform lock-in is impossible, since any client can republish any note to a different relay if one misbehaves or enacts a disagreeable policy.

That's a wonderful sentiment but we said the same thing about the web and email and both are effectively controlled by large companies.

Twitter is centralized due to being the creation of a single company, but that's not the fundamental problem.

The web and email got effectively centralized because distributed protocols create problems of search, filtering, abuse, identity, community continuity, etc. You can't easily solve them in a distributed way, and even if you _can_, you can't easily get everyone in the network to upgrade. Hence, providers arise that say "We're Nostr, only better!(tm)" or "We're the best way to find what you want on Nostr!" and they work on locking in their customers.

If you want to be resilient to monopolization you have to show how you're going to solve those other problems.
It sounds like a recipe for enforcement by lawsuit, which is similar to the ADA for example.

There's a LOT that Egypt does wrong that I don't want to replicate in the US. But the US could never get a project of this scale through environmental review anymore, much less in less than 20 years. Really quite disappointing seeing incompetent autocracies outperforming us at building anything larger than a semiconductor.
This is enshittification - pillage the brand for short-term gain, long-term loss, thinking that something is worth more dead than alive. Either Musk is trying to pillage the bluecheck system (he thinks its' worthless and wants to extract some value before he kills it), or Twitter itself (get some short-term revenue from blue-check-chuds so he can make the site look slightly more profitable so he can sell it off).
While what you say is true, I could never intuitively grasp that properties of analytic functions. Like I could read and understand the proofs, as in follow one step to the next, but I could never succinctly describe, intuitively, why one should expect the proofs to hold. Even the most fundamental concepts in complex analysis are more like facts rather than logical deductions (to me).

I worry about this so much. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10e that I dread losing or breaking... a family member with a barely more recent Galaxy had to give up a sim slot and a headphone jack.

I'm also on 1Password. No idea why I would use Google Authenticator. "Hey we have Google Password Manager" - that's great, so I can be locked into your platform while you take another 13 years to implement a basic feature? No thanks? I'd rather pay a company that cares about my experience, thanks.
Cool idea. Why give it the same name as a similar but different project? And people have been trying to replace bash since forever, why would this succeed where others have failed?
plan9/9front does that just fine.
> The teacher was perplexed of why I said such wrong answer to such simple question.

This is extremely toxic on many levels. A teacher who doesn't know their subject matter or at least can't be bothered to refresh before a lesson. A teacher who submits to social pressure from their students when determining the answer. A teacher who shames students for being wrong. A teacher who shames students for being right!

The students who were wrong initially will, thanks to this teacher, have completely failed to learn the lesson the problem was teaching. They will remember only that they got the problem right (the teacher said so) and only due to some technicality in the answer book were they subjected to an embarrassing "lesson" from the smart kid.

Yes, this is making a mountain of a molehill, but molehills like this can have mountainous impacts on society.

Jack does not have any control over the nostr protocol.

He may arguably have some control over one of the iOS client apps (due to him finding the dev), but that’s about it.

I was an organizer of nostrica (nostr’s first conference) last month. Yes, Jack paid for the venue, food & merch but he didn’t ask for anything in return.

He was very humble about the whole thing. More than I thought he would be.
Reflexively then, good comments are good, no matter what produced them. Or is a quality comment impugned by knowing it came from an LLM? Does it cheapen what it means to be human if other humans think highly of an LLMs attempts at English? Is it at all impressive that ChatGPT is able to spell words correctly, given that it's a computer? What does that mean for the spelling bee industry?
I don't think the concept of register windows is necessarily a bad idea. IMHO, SPARC was flawed in that every activation frame needed to also have a save area for a registers window just in case the processor ran out of internal registers.

I think the Itanium did register windows right: allocate only as many registers as the function needs, and overflow into a separate "safe stack". Also, the return address register was among them, never on the regular stack, so a buffer overrun couldn't overwrite it.

There is a third option to stack and registers: The upcoming The Mill CPU has a "Belt": like a stack but which you only push onto. An instruction or function call takes belt indices as parameters. Except for the result pushed onto the end, the belt is restored after a function call – like a register window sliding back. It also uses a separate safe stack for storing overruns and return addresses.
Long ago, I invented a very similar scheme for a virtual machine ... except for the important detail of the separate stack, so it got too complicated for me and I abandoned it.

None of these activities are efficiently stopped by censorship on the largest social media platforms... so what are you suggesting? That we continue to employ inefficient censorship (which gets also abused all the time by governments around the world), or do you have any actual solution? If not, this sounds a lot like virtue signalling to me.

I like this article. I buy the argument that this is a bad precedent. But I have a criticism:

Since the First Amendment forbids legislating against press freedoms, the courtroom is the most promising venue for rolling them back. Fox is only the first company to be swept up in this reaction.

Its like the writer is living in the 90s, somehow ignoring the algorithmic misinformation wave drowning outlets like that very magazine.

It’s a huge shame too because it shouldn’t be that hard for Amazon to filter it out. It’s not like there isn’t a database of these classic works, at least the ~2000 most popular ones that must account for 95+% of searches. If only they had the economic incentive to do so.

The issue isn’t direction but rather having multiple branches as a river only includes channel(s) going downstream from a single point. Without that definition a river’s length would be the length of every river connected to it.

Thus the Mississippi and Ohio river are considered different rivers even though their waters mix and both flow downstream through the same channel.

Well, yes, but the appeal of lockless data structures is that they generally perform very well because they don't require sleeping, and sleeping is bad because context switching is expensive. A lockless data structure that doesn't perform or scale better than a traditional blocking data structure is just not worth using (though it might be worth talking about).
somehow this answer reminded me of the good advice for starting to tighten a nut. first turn left till you feel the nut drop- then turn right. I feel there is a universal lesson here. Maybe going, as the crow flies, directly toward your goal isn’t always best.

Small and fun is the magic here. There's immense product insight in building a product experience that feels really small, intimate. It's the counterbalance to the unwieldy scale of Big Tech.

We're in the natural cycle of things, I'm just saying I seem to really get the feeling "the future is small", if that makes sense. It's quite stressful to navigate the entire planet's information and inventory.
