> We’re focusing the power of this new lens on amplifying the rewards flowing to capital holders because, of course we are. I want technology to be an aid to human creativity, not a necessary crutch. I want to make life better, not shove people aside because they are no longer needed to feed the capitalist greed beast.

It’s a bit odd to see this from a writer that joined substack 10 months ago. When it was already famous for associating online blog writing with subscription fees, locking content behind paywalls and so on. Which was too big of a change from the more open wordpress/blogspot/etc. norm for someone to claim ignorance.

So I don’t quite buy this anti-capitalist rant, the writer even set up a custom domain name with their substack account, so they clearly understood, implicitly accepting a more monetary blogging system at the very least.

There are a lot of greedy people in this world, who probably are mostly self-interested to an unattractive degree, though the folks who are fine associating with them when convenient and denounce them when inconvenient are not any better.
Any API recommendations that comes to your mind?
I think it's been true for a long time that most of the spam doesn't hit your spam folder either, so this is not the signal you suggest. It could mean more false positives at a lower layer though.
I know of a company that's using dried blood for testing, which apparently is the same as what Theranos was saying from a layman's point of view.

The level of process you're talking about usually isn't in a deck; it's usually "get sample - mail it in - get results."

Decks are pitched to investors, who most of the time have more money than technical skills in the area in question.
Lots of linux development has moved to WSL2 on win11. Cuda and docker with instructions for WSL2 deployment only.

WSL2 with wslg is pretty nice thou. Windows terminal and multiple distros in wsl2 is pretty nice. Even have arch running in a wsl vm.
I think the point is some people didn't do the former
Just had a conversation about this. Creativity is not reproducible by AI. It is a mashup by AI. People will still be in charge of creativity. And by extension in charge of creative uses of AI.
This is standard across the world, in professional and engineering jobs. Hiring can be filtered by where you work, what your major is, what school you went to. Not all jobs or education are made equal. Its not what I'd do, but saying, we'll only consider candidates with CS degrees from these top 25 schools seem like a valid strategy to recruiting. Esp. if you consider their professors can be renowned in certain research topics.

That just wires the speaker output of the device to a set of coils sitting right in front of the tape playback head. GP did an end run around that by wiring straight into the trace in between the head pre-amp and the main amp.
Reminds me of the occasional stories about people commuting into Manhattan by canoe/rowboat/paddleboard because they're fed up with the poor public transportation.

Something I've noticed more often these days is people commuting from New Jersey into Manhattan via electric scooter.

This is done by first going to Fort Lee, crossing the George Washington Bridge, then down the Hudson bike path to wherever their office is. They say it's faster and less stressful than doing the traditional bus or train + subway commute. I believe them.

There is also the financial benefit which is you get to avoid paying to cross the Hudson River, which is expensive whether you cross by car, bus, train, or ferry.

Granted even before electric scooters became common, you could do this via traditional bicycle. But you'd arrive at the office all sweaty, and most people don't have the luxury of being able to shower at the office, not to mention rampant bike theft. Plus there is an abomination of a steep hill going up to the outbound George Washington on your way back home.
> And we should all try to do something weird.

Oh… so… very mostly porn. Not the first time, not the last.
Yes and no. If the caller has an existing relationship with the customer they can always call you. So your bank can call you. There is a register "Reservasjon mot telefonsalg og adressert reklame" that you can put you mobile number, etc., on and everyone who might call is obliged to update their own records from it monthly so that they avoid calling anyone on the register.

I very occasionally, perhaps once every year or two, get cold called in Norway but now they are always from offshore. A few years ago I got a couple of cold calls from Norwegian companies but when I pointed out that I had registered all the family's mobile numbers with Brønnøysund [1] they apologized and that was the last I heard from them.

Thanks! Yeah, one of the things that I'd be most worried about would be switching to a new toolchain for stuff.
I also wrote my own feed aggregator (https://mofeed.news) from scratch in Go. It can connect to twitter, reddit, spotify/itunes(podcasts), rss, medium, youtube, etc.It has a good search engine (meilisearch) and also supports newsletter (each user has an inbox).

I'm currently testing it and have a few test users for feedback. I hope I can open source it sometime this year, after integrating the feedbacks, and polishing the code.

It's not intelligent for now, but that's by choice. Instead, I prefer to have custom rules for filtering (e.g., adding tweets from user X to feed only if the likes are above a threshold). I may use GPT for summarization later, but honestly most of the posts are either short (e.g., tweets), or they come from websites that have description/summary in their meta tags.

Please shoot me an email to `hey@mofeed.news` if you want to test it :)
I'm not here to defend prompt engineering I could care less what it's called but why are you people so offended by people using the term? It's inarguable that there are people that are better at getting certain results from these new models in their first shot because they know how to interact with the system better than others and understand its inner workings better.

Maybe the term engineer has been watered down from what you learned in school but in my and many other people's views its synonymous with hacker in a lot of these categories. I wouldn't call an electrical engineer an electrical hacker but if you weren't an electrical hacker you'd be a pretty garbage electrical engineer. If you've never messed around with or tested a concept or built a circuit for fun you'd probably hate your job and be worse at it. These people are doing these things with prompting and with software.
Because those are two entirely different things.
Yeah, unfortunately customers can be pretty shitty. We've had a lot of interesting experiences with this and also paid subscriptions - things like significant others accusing us of a massive fraud, soon afterwhich the person who signed up for the service to ask to be reinstated.

That said, if you can get people on the phone, they tend to be much kinder. I think most people think they're just shouting into some empty void.
Then clearly I'm not talking about them.

FWIW, I don't think learning to code is inherently virtuous. I do think putting in the time to be good at something is more virtuous than trying to find the easiest way to latch onto whatever the hot new industry is, which is my impression of most prompt engineering at this point.
Wait until you hear about "social engineering" :O the horror

I had a little problem with my desktop computer (Intel I7-6700 CPU) a couple of months ago. It would start up and run OK, but eventually the file system would switch itself into the read-only state, causing it to lock up. After a few weeks of trying everything to fix it, I noticed that the slider switch on the power supply was in the 230 volt position, even though I'm sitting here in the USA and the thing has been plugged into the 115 volt mains for years. That it could just about run on half the voltage it required(?) makes me think that the rightmost digits on voltages are there for historical or marketing reasons only, like the old 101 mm cigarettes, the 81 mg aspirins, and the guitar amp that goes up to 11.
It’s the new agile. I bet there’s already prompt engineering books, courses, consultants, and coaches.
Great story. I love this thread.
Why not just "enter grainy distorted 123 + 456"? No JS, no tracking. It takes literally milliseconds to generate and present. I've seen this work on large scale. Why is it mandatory to run tons of JS anyway?

It may be profitable to use CAPTCHA for AI training, but that's not only annoying, it's also unethical because one (like me) may be unwilling to engage in such activity. Also, CAPTCHAs involving houses, number plates or bikes are absolutely invading someone's privacy.

Owners of websites (e.g. shops) themselves have more options to show captchas only in critical moments: when performing heavy searches, registering, checking out, posting. Again, it doesn't have to be intrusive or disruptive. But I understand this way takes more professional approach and probably requires programming, which is not what _every_ store owner can probably afford.
Yes, BTFP is printing money.
I disagree. In my analogy, cutting wood == writing code. You can't write code any faster on an M2 Macbook just because the CPU is faster. If you are more productive on an M2, it's only because you have more intelligent software (re: AI) helping you write code faster. But given vi or emacs in both setups, they are basically the same from a software dev standpoint aside from faster build time as your software gets huge.

> When coding with AI, you are getting actual code snippets and hints.

I still know the cut that needs to be made. Say I need a function that returns true if an array contains a value. Without AI, I would write it by hand, which might require me to RTFM. But with AI, I can simply prompt "// return whether the provided array contains a given value" and the AI will fill in the function. I could have accomplished my goal either way. But with AI, I was done and moved on without context switching to google or stackoverflow.

I could have sawed the 4x4 in half by hand. But instead I buzzed it with a buzz saw and moved on to the next part of my project 5 minutes ago.

The judge said it was to like "send a message". That's a threat, not justice. No person in this society thinks what he did is worse than every crime for which a person sees freedom again.
Cops I see in the subway stations in NYC are also just standing around and chatting.
I run an email domain for myself and three friends. I set it up 10+ years ago and originally it was for ~15 people. It's only personal email and no one uses it for marketing or anything even remotely shady. We setup DKIM and all of the similar best practices. In the last 6-12 months, we've had lots of issues with gmail marking our messages as spam for users we haven't emailed before.

And what sucks about it is there's nothing you can do. People assume it's your fault for being weird and not using Gmail or outlook.com. And there's zero way to contact Google or submit information to convince them you're legitimate.

I believe in an open, distributed internet. I don't think it's good that we're moving towards a world we're the core protocols that defined the internet are being replaced by proprietary versions controlled by a handful of trillion dollar companies.
Nah, there are no bugs if you wash it after every use.
When I'm struggling to get the results I want, I've started asking ChatGPT to give me a prompt that I then feed back into it. It's not perfect, but it's made getting the right prompt way easier.
Ooh, you're right! I hadn't been thinking of windows and WSL2.

DMCA counternotice isn’t an appeal that someone has to judge. As soon as you send it to the provider, they can restore access without leaving the safe harbor (if you are infringing, you are still liable, but the host has fulfilled their safe harbor requirements.)

But this may be some other C&D, the repo owner says they got a “takedown” without mentioning DMCA; there is no reason to assume this means Github got a DMCA notice.

A chemical is a compound that has been purposefully refined or purified.

A chemical fire is far more complex and potentially dangerous than a normal fire.

Gasoline is a chemical, however we have a lot of experience dealing with gasoline driven fires and they can be easily doused with water. Large battery driven fires in vehicles are a new thing, and they are not easily doused with water.

I don't buy it. If Alice contacts Bob first, and Alice replies directly to Bob, that reply shouldn't get dropped as spam. And yet it does.
Agreed, it's kind of really useful for a lot of things people have been using NLP to solve. In some ways the human interaction piece expand the scope but overall it doesn't mean NLP suddenly solved all problems

So if humans aren't special at anything, then humans don't really have a purpose. I envision a future similar to the one in Wall-E and it's not exactly bad so long as the AI actually acts in our interest.

It's not about fun. Nuance is the key differentiator. Conscientiousness is (correctly, imo) valued because correctness matters (a lot).
> Rights to property, life and liberty need to be encoded in the legal constraints that restrict free markets in unobvious ways.

These rights are not restrictions on the free market. They are fundamental to the free market.

> Your rights to life and liberty sometimes conflict with my rights to life and liberty.

They don't. Your right to life, for example, does not require me to give you food. It means I cannot take your life. Your right to liberty means I cannot enslave you. There is no right to enslave another, regardless of what the law says.

When I say "legal fiction" I mean writing laws that attempt to change reality. For example, a law that says π == 3 is a legal fiction. Your rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are not a legal fiction. The government frequently tries to create new "rights" that are not rights at all.

Put another way, the government enforces rights, or abrogates them. It cannot invent them.

Inalienable means it's an inherent property of being a human being. I.e. people still have a right to liberty, even if the government says it's ok to enslave them.

Evidence? Communism tries to deny the right to property. The result is communist countries cannot even feed themselves. Slavery tries to deny the right to liberty. The result is a also poorly performing economy. Countries that guarantee the rights to life, liberty, and property thrive.

One can sign a contract that enslaves you, but it is unenforceable in a free society. John Deere sells you a tractor but retains the "right" to remotely disable it? I'd say that would be unenforceable as they sold it to you, meaning it's yours to do with it as you please.

If they wanted to rent it to you, it should be a rental agreement, not a sales agreement.
It's a way of doing massively parallel computations in a scatter/gather system. I suggest looking up the paper "Linda in Context. I'd provide a link but I'm on my phone.
I don't think you can have "most of a master's degree" when you're missing the obvious pre-requisite of a bachelor's degree.
I agree with the general sentiment that people do degrees for bad reasons, that even good reasons at an individual level may not be optimal in aggregate etc.

But I'm particularly interested in your hypothesis that it's driven mainly or solely by the inability for US employers to use IQ tests.

Your first sentences (about college being the default/accepted path) is also true in other countries that aren't subject to that supreme court case, like the UK.

I'd forgotten this story. Apparently it spun up a lot of conspiracy stories and theories about not-natural causes. Thanks for flagging this, it's interesting.
> Pavel Durov, the inventor of Telegram, stated on his personal channel that the material sought by the Brazilian court is “technologically impossible” to get.

> Durov also stated that Telegram has already left nations such as China, Iran, and Russia (where the app was established) owing to local rules, and that the software may leave Brazil as well.

> According to the app’s creator, leaving a nation is “preferable to the betrayal of our users and the beliefs we were founded on.”

Interesting. I thought they were going to comply.
> consider vast differences

I did.

Gun ownership is about 32% of individuals in USA vs 25% of individuals in Canada.

Homicide rate is about 2.5x higher in the US, which means US cops are outperforming this statistic vs US civilians.

> so many other things

It's not just annoying to list them, it's ridiculous; these countries are the exact same place. Across the board, everything you can think of has a lot of statistical homogeneity between these places. But Canadian cops are way better educated, and kill way less.

Around the world, cops that are better educated kill way less.

So why exactly are people excusing reductions in education requirements for police? It makes no sense. There's no supporting evidence that that's a good choice, and literal mountains showing that it's a bad one.

This thread is bizarro world.
1) Assuming that this is a one-way street for cars and the direction has not changed between the two pictures, it does seem approximately the same time of day based on the shadow angles.

But that doesn't tell us anything about day of week which could be a huge factor.

2) Assuming at least one person per vehicle, and assuming that the first stories of the buildings are about the same height in both photos in order to compare scales between the photos, the first seems to have a higher density of people.
So this is why I ask about profitability -at the portfolio level-. In your and the article’s example, the PE manager turns a profit not because he screws the business, but because he also screws the bank who loaned money. What bank will continue to loan to companies managed by PE if they expect them to asset strip and default on the loans?
One of the inventors of the original Tuple Spaces idea was David Gelernter. He was actually targeted by the Unabomber, and survived but was heavily hurt (https://www.nytimes.com/1995/05/21/magazine/the-unabomber-an...). David was a brilliant researcher, with lots of great ideas including Mirror Worlds (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_Worlds). I sometimes wonder if what the Unabomber did to him in early 90s slowed David down, and made it harder for David's idea to get out there.
I guess the hard part of this question is deciding what is realistic, and what isn't.

If I have to answer within the realm of realistic, then my answer is - honestly I don't know.

I want to enjoy my life. When I'm working I want to feel excited and invested. When I'm not working I want to feel like my time is well spent.

The issue really is, I don't know what I need to do to feel this way. I have a great job, pays well, etc. Comfort is definitely not the issue. I travel occasionally, but that's not sufficient. Life just feels so monotonous and boring but doesn't seem to bother anyone else.

Sure, a doctor isn't necessarily going to give generic health advice on every visit. That wasn't what I was saying.

What I was saying is that if I go see a doctor for a condition, and the proper way to resolve that condition is to make a lifestyle change, then that is what I want the doctor to tell me.

What I don't want the doctor to do is to just give me a prescription if the actual treatment is to behave differently in some way.
Down the river, right after DC its the Naval Research Laboratory, in front of Alexandria. I worked there, and some crazy folks from Alexandria sometimes crossed the river in canoes to the NRL pier... That got terminated after 911, so they had to bike or drive all the way up around DC and down through Anacostia Air Force Base. Quite a much longer commute.
This is perhaps too bright for the gloom of recent months here.

I'd love to see more companies being more generous with parental leave flexibility for the good of human civilization, but if Twitter is in sort of a wartime mode hanging on for survival, I can understand that they might not be in position to offer this right now.

That said, workers have the right to choose the best situation for them. People might be willing to deal with a pile of bullshit in a startup where they have some theoretical direct ownership stake: but it's a bit harder to justify some of this stuff in a privately owned company where you won't necessarily have a chance to cash out big.
