Maybe some strategies from other industries could work here.

Such as a “bonded trust” system.

So a new email provider could use real money as a proxy for trustworthiness, since they obviously don’t have a solid history to rely on. For example, the major providers could demand depositing $1 USD per email/per day they want to send out in exchange for the spam filtering to be turned off for their domain.

That is if they wish to send out 1k emails/day to Gmail addresses and make sure they land in the inbox, they deposit $1k USD with Google.

The catch being that if more then 5% of the emails (or whatever the ideal percentage is) are marked spam, then their bonded money is taken away. And they’ll have to put up a new bond.

That way new entrants can get a foothold without having to jump through so many hoops.

As someone who takes a pill daily that fixes my brain chemistry, I would like to clarify that it is simultaneously possible that many people are taking pills they don't need and many people are not talking pills they do need.

I despise generalized statements like "xyz medication is over prescribed" because it is also in some ways probably underprescribed. I didn't seek treatment for a dibilitating illness for many years because I was repeatedly told that the medication was abused and all I needed were lifestyle changes. For me, the medication was underprescribed.
Good point. And I meant it should not be an unsolvable problem. Was thinking along the lines of Model B training off of non-infringing work from A.

All good points!

We're talking about (real) journalism, so presumably there's going to be a byline. That person is responsible, as is the editor, whether AI is used or not.
Saitek (now logitech) sells flight simulator peripherals in the form of a throttle box and separate flight stick. They use two different USB cables and plugs instead of connecting one to the other, and they are technically two different devices. If you connect them to the same USB hub or to a USB system with not enough power, they will seem to work just fine, but will send a completely random button press or stick movement every so often. Changing ports will fix this.

Another logitech one: I have a g27 steering wheel/pedal set/shifter combo. The pedals plug into the wheel, which also connects to a power supply and USB cable to connect to the computer. If you plug the steering wheel into the power and DON'T plug in the USB cable, metal parts of the pedals "leak" current, and you can feel a painful sensation if you touch the metal with exposed skin.

Aren't all ordinary fires a chemical reaction?
In some industries that's the norm. I did my MBA at Oxford (which, at least at the time, was not well-known for its MBA program). A recruiter at an investment bank told me that, since Oxford wasn't on their list of target schools for post-MBA hiring, they wouldn't even look at my CV until and unless they were unable to fill their associate-level positions with people from those target schools.

That's really sweet. I think I remember a scene from the TV show Normal People where something similar happens.
Whew, slick. Can't argue with that. Vega's thick as hell, and is my last option before I pull the trigger[1] on prerendering. If I absolutely need box plots or geographic maps. And honestly, unless the data is constantly changing prerendering is more efficient anyway. I'll see if I can get this (ObPlot? OPLot? I don't know what to call it shorthand) into an asciidoc extension.

[1] I can hear you screaming WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. I should probably enunciate this better. The docs are aerospace, so any graphics or tables or data or ANYTHING has to be source controlled, so the data goes into VCS with the docs, and it can get traced back to a commit, which is passed into a "List of Changes", a "List of Effective Data Modules", and (biggest pain in my ass) change marks in the output. "Prerendered" is a pass that turns the data into a graphic, and then the doc references the graphic. A graph block just points to the data, and the graph is automatic. If it wasn't so controlled, you could just put a passthrough in the asciidoc to the graph server and call it a day - which, honestly, is a much better option, but would require a few Amazon's worth of forms to fill out. And it would probably get rejected because OH MY GERD SERVERS.
This reminds me of the channels gamers get in Ready Player One. The main character used his channel to broadcast his favorite T.V. shows that other people could tune in and watch. This is a really cool!
Admiral Grace Hopper would talk about commuting by boat to Navy Yard, IIRC. Didn't know about this one.
Had similar problem with my Steelcase chair: every time I'd stand up and my heels touched or came close to metalic part of the chair there was an electrostatic discharge that causes the screen to flicker on/off for a moment.
My previous chair never had the problem.

Solved by an anti-static floor mat
from Floortex.
Interestingly only one of the screens reacted this way, the one connected through displayport, HDMI seems more forgiving of electrostatic interferences like this.

One of the worst shocks I've received in my life was not accidentally touching one of the prongs of a half-inserted 120v mains plug, but pulling one of my fleece blankets off of the other on my bed, and then getting my shoed foot within 6 inches of my metal bed frame. I almost fell over, grabbed the upper part of the frame with my hand, and received yet another painful shock.
Well, so what? I'm sure someone at Microsoft has added a "guard rail" where if you tell it that it's hallucinating, it'll probably terminate the conversation as it's thus a waste of time and energy, or to avoid it potentially getting offensive, which has been a problem for Microsoft in the past.

You can persist for a long time with ChatGPT, trying to correct it, believing you're getting somewhere, but not infrequently, it doesn't get any better, sometimes it even gets worse. It was a waste of time.
Correct. This is inherent to the camera's USB descriptor; it's entirely independent of the OS being used to interact with the device.
Whatever Became of Holography?
It's a commentary that scientific papers are inscrutable and a slave to form, over intelligible content. I find it a weak argument. The author's conference presentation of it, though, is brilliant, a masterpiece.

I'd always thought it was an example of how peer reviewed journals are scammy. That this paper got accepted as peer reviewed science of some sort. But while of course peer reviewed science isn't objective (there are studies on this, peer reviewed naturally), this apparently isn't that.

It dates to 2003. I'm so surprised to see new commentary on this (blogs and what not) in 2021 and even later. I mean actual commentary and attempt to derive some insight from it on independent blogs/journals. Not just repeated link farming.
The problem is the battery has everything it needs to burn already inside its chemistry. It doesn't need the atmosphere to supply oxygen.

I've been doing this with new Dall-e + img2img with Stable Diffusion.

Explaining: I created a model of me, and wanted to create some good realistic portrait pictures. First I tried to create a model of me using some of the custom models already exist and the result was bad.

Then I tried SD 1.5/2.1... It was better, but couldn't really get some of the prompts make real...

Then I tried new Dall-e, saved, and inserted my face with img2img on SD and it worked much better!
> shouldn't this be the GUI toolkit's job

Ideally yes. This is a failing of the egui toolkit, not necessarily a failing of the people using it. The whole point of a high-level toolkit like this is that you shouldn't have to worry about how things are being rendered.

However, it is still important to counter claims that egui is making if the people using the toolkit are parroting those claims.

> Can you recommend an alternative to egui that let's you write entirely in Rust and get the performance of egui but still maintain some level of accessibility?

I don't think I've ever built a web GUI in Rust so I have no idea what the ecosystem looks like. To my detriment, I tend to build most of my UIs from scratch. I can promise that it is possible to have performant UIs with a lot of embedded charts (like this demo has) using the DOM, but I have no idea what Rust framework devs have been getting up to or publishing.

There's also a little bit of a catch-22 here because yes, any time you introduce the DOM, you are going to lose some performance. That doesn't mean that you're going to lose so much performance that the demo above would be stuttery or wouldn't work. But if you're just measuring "how many quads can I refresh on the screen", that's kind of missing the point that you really shouldn't be refreshing thousands and thousands of quads of information in a UI at 60fps. That's not a thing that most interfaces should be doing in the first place.

And if you are genuinely changing thousands of boxes of information on a screen at the same time, kind of by definition that isn't accessible period. There is no way to present that volume of informational change to a screen reader in a way that will be understandable. But a lot of people when building UIs tend to think they're in the rare cases where they need that level of performance and so they need to sacrifice that accessibility, when in reality what they actually have is a giant list of charts and aside from the actual chart rendering, there's nothing particularly expensive going on.
Was it hallucinating? Or is the source not actually a URL? Or were the URLs blacklisted from citation due to potential legal issues?

How I search:

I typically start with one of the same type of queries as you did above, then I open every interesting-looking page from the first query in a nested tab (I use tree style tabs in my "research" browser) and start reading them, ctrl-clicking again to open interesting links in new tabs nested in a new level beneath, closing pages that was clearly useless and bookmarking in raindrop if I immediately sense that the oage I am on is something I will need again.

Once I have exhausted this tree, at least temporarily, I start a new search - like you do - in a new top level tab anf create a new tree from it.
A jazz generator, pre-machine learning. It had instruments and each instrument had Markov Chains to control pitch and note duration. I then used a bunch of helpers and functions to write markov chains that sounded cool. I used it to play bass and jam with me. This was 2009.

The implementation was in netlogo I don’t remember why. It was really fun

Chiming in for context (representation?):

I grew up thinking college was a must for making big bucks but still didn't think it was worth it. After going to a trade school and doing jobs related and unrelated to my trade, I ended up needing big bucks and time. So I went to a boot camp and am now one of those software engineers. I don't think college is pointless, but I am so glad I didn't go.

My point being, bringing the hype/price/time down on college will likely do good for many smart industrious lower-mid class kids.
There's plenty of collateral damage in existing efforts. Makes the false positive black list entries a little more high-stakes.
If you're right then we should expect countries where IQ tests are not illegal, to have experienced a slower increase in the % of young adults with degrees.

Full disclosure, I lived on the island part-time for 10 years. There's a stationary rope affixed to the mainland and to a tree on the island. You get there (and back) by pulling the little ferry hand-over-hand along the rope. It was my commuter vehicle.

There was a lot of unmediated information. :) Perhaps we passed each other on the trail.

I'm being real. Lots of people work 10-12 hours a day. How are they supposed to shop and cook for only fresh and healthy food, as well as do 30 minutes of rigorous cardio per day, in the remaining four hours a day when they're not asleep? What if they have family obligations?

Salesforce's worst design principle is hiding things people don't have access to.

And it cuts to the heart of the agility you're describing -- if I can't know what I'm NOT seeing, then how can I discover I need to request it?

From this perspective, Salesforce is absolutely engineered for top down "Identify the process, create a set of permissions that allows it, then apply those permissions to the appropriate set of people" design.

As opposed to bottom-up discoverability (e.g. I can see that I don't have access to this thing, somewhere) + RBAC requests for a permission set I learn I need.
I can't think of a set of circumstances where either of those would happen, outside of bad driving.

There are 180 currencies in 197 countries. Forex exists because other currencies exist.

I assumed it was due to me being on a VPN and/or having privacy.resistFingerprinting turned on in Firefox, but I encounter this several times a day. Agreed that it sucks. I know Cloudflare is probably damned if they do, and damned if they don't, because they're warring with bots, and some of us are collateral damage. It's that privacy vs. convenience tradeoff our bearded cyber prophets warned us about in the 90s.
It's not just degree mills. It's mainstream colleges and universities. They are all staring a demographic "enrollment cliff" in the face and are having to drop admissions standards to keep their enrollment numbers up. Academic requirements are going by the wayside; if you can't complete an assignment, you'll be given more time, or an alternative. Nobody fails anymore unless they just absolutely don't show up, schools can't afford to lose students.
May have to do with how often you wear them. For a few years I wore jeans every damn day, unless there was a funeral or something, and I had a similar rotation: two pairs "active" at a time (with maybe one reserve pair in case the lesser of those two got ruined, assuming I had any older ones that were still wearable)—one for light duty, one for heavy duty, order a new pair of 501s when they're on sale about once a year, they become the new light-duty pair, everything else shifts down, oldest become rags or get thrown out (they were never in good-enough shape to donate, by the time they were leaving my closet).

~$40/yr wasn't so bad.

[EDIT] Oh, and for the record, I minimized washing, though I wasn't as hardcore about it as some people who claim to go months between washes. Every wash seemed to age them a couple weeks worth of wearing.

These days, I wear a lot more wool, linen, and cotton/linen blends for light-duty, and wear a single pair of Prana Zions (very thin mid-tier hiking pants, synthetic material) for anything risky/dirty. The Zions are probably at something like 1,000 wears (for the first couple years I wore them kinda like I had my jeans before—for everything) over five years or so. About a penny per wear. Finally due to be replaced, starting to get enough holes that they're getting iffy for wearing around... people, at all. If I hadn't damaged them with sharp things a few times, they'd probably go another 500+ wears, they're not getting worn-looking anywhere, no stains have proven permanent, nor is any part of them fraying (except at the holes).
Well, that's one individual who has looked past the techno shiny object that is ChatGPT/AI.

- I built DreamList.com originally because I was working on another startup and as a founder I didn’t want my Baby Registry showing up on search engines or my address showing up to random people who looked up my name. All the other services were using customer names as free SEO and every list was indexed by default with your address available. I built it safe and private for my own family and over time it went from side hustle to main hustle, especially as demand for privacy-respecting social and family software keeps going up.

- A family member in an elected position needed to write a schedule for 22 healthcare professionals that take shifts every month and I wrote a tool for them that allows them to make sure everyone gets sufficient time off and nobody takes too much of the weekend load. They were elected again and to a higher leadership role partly because of the scheduling tool.

- Regularly writing new stock trading, modeling, and timing software to improve my earnings from trading.

I respect that you have your own interpretation. I think you might have either misunderstood what the person above was trying to say, or maybe you may not consume much US conservative media.

Rural America leans toward conservative values, and from their point of view, the things conservative Americans would call "fascist" in today's political climate are things like:

- restrictions on gun rights

- institutions being required to cater marginalized social groups that they do not see as relevant to their communities

- required separations of church and state

- some contemporary public health requirements

- policies that disadvantage status-quo rural employers
