Thank you. It's really getting hard not to feel collectively ashamed how low the propaganda bar has dropped.

Next step will be that passports of russian attackers are found¹.

It has hardly any spam added; that goes in the spam folder before it gets to the screener.

If you get attacked by an angry Internet mob (thousands of legit email addresses flooding you) you can have their security support clear them out for you, too. Pretty cool.
Ideally you'd have automation to process and monitor the reports.
I live down the street. Here’s what the developer’s website has to say:

Sites demanding corporate email addresses and/or major email providers kicks all other users out is inane, corporate tyranny.
Isn’t the problem that you were relying more on the CPU rather than a decent GPU?
> Similarly, much of the Russian disinformation campaign of 2016 — especially in the beginning — was not about convincing people of falsehoods. It was about sowing seeds of discredit and doubt about Hillary Clinton, and about the U.S. electoral system generally. It didn’t matter what was actually on Clinton’s email server, so long as talking about it cast doubt on her integrity.

This tactic of fear, uncertainty and doubt has been addressed by numerous authors in recent decades. Science historian Naomi Oreskes pointed to the deliberate cultivation of uncertainty about climate change by Bill Nierenberg, Fred Seitz, and Fred Singer to slow down and stop regulations on fossil fuel companies.

In 2012, Jay Rosen, journalism professor at NYU, described this cultivation of uncertainty on the right as a process of "reverse verification", with the example of the question, "Was Obama born in the United States?”

Rosen: "Verification is taking something that might be true, and trying to nail it down with facts. In reverse verification, you take something that’s been nailed down and try to introduce doubt about it."

This is the primary way that American democracy is being subverted now, in 2023.

the party doesn't necessarily lose any power in this case, so their ability to control elections by choosing who runs might be undiminished.

In Rust it’s not bug–prone. The compiler knows which types are moved and which are copied, and if you write code that uses something after it was moved you get a compile–time error.

There are multiple years available for his first DB class but that’s the one I watched. I almost called it his ‘basic’ class but there’s literally only like one or two classes on SQL before he dives into all the various layers of the internals.

There’s also a few of his advanced courses. And then you’ll see guest lectures from industry on about every one of the new DB platforms you can think of.

They’re all under “CMU Database Group” on Youtube.

Highly recommend.

Did you ever Canoe to work and then it started raining during the day and you had to Canoe home in the rain?

Yeah, thats what biking to work daily for over a decade was like.

LPT: Check your bike into a hotel baggage check with the bellhop, tip them $20 and they will protect your bike in their storage for at least a week, longer if you build a report with them.

I used to lock my bikes up at various high-end hotels in SF.

1. The millenium tower : ring the guard button in the valet port coche and they buz you into the garage near the dumpsters and they have a bike-rack-tree to lock your bike to, and its behind cams and security doors.

The intercontinental and the W hotel allow you to store your bike for a week. (make sure you tip well, and get the name of the host)

sometimes you need a bit of social engineering when you arent staying at the hotel - like a good tip... but also its just being amenable and friendly, and you talk them up first and tip at the end of the convo....

but you can do this with any large hotel, and so long as you tip well...

So come in and say things like:

"I am in town for a conference, and only need to store this here a day or two"

"I am checking into the hotel later, but I have to go to an interview right now" (Tip this one good (($20)) as it will make him less likely to get upset if you dont return the same day.

I have had so many bike components, and whole bikes stolen from me in SF, Santa Rosa, San Jose ubtil I learned this trick.
Not an abandoned orchard. These are trees that were planted as part of a small park project in the front of a gigantic parking lot for an aviation technology company. The trees haven't been touched in years and nobody is attempting to harvest any of the fruit. They're basically just there to hide the buildings from the road.
Super cool post. Good range of tweaks to make here.
Good point, though it's still in favor of fastmail (which, as a paid service, will always be several magnitudes lower in users)
I am a former research engineer at Google AI who left a little over a year ago to found SOTAI to make machine learning transparent, interpretable, and accessible for everyone, particularly data scientists. I've found that data scientists are often stuck choosing between handwritten rules / heuristics, which make sense but lack predictive power, and black-box models such as DNNs, which are flexible but often don't make sense.

At Google AI, I researched interpretable machine learning techniques with the goal of providing an alternative option that offers the predictive power of black-box models without the black box. At SOTAI, we've built our platform, Artifice, to help professionals across industries harness the power of AI without sacrificing transparency.

Key features:

- No-code platform: easily prepare data, configure and train models, and analyze results.

- Shape constraints: Embed domain knowledge directly into your models

- Analysis tooling: gain valuable insights with purpose-built tooling.

If you're interested, sign up for our free Personal plan to explore the platform! Our recent blog post showcases real-world examples across various industries, including e-commerce, retail, real estate, finance, healthcare, and more. Use it as a reference for how to best use Artifice!

We're excited to learn from the community so we can continue to improve, so please share your thoughts!

TL;DR:

I left Google AI to found SOTAI and build Artifice, an interpretable machine learning platform to make machine learning make sense, particularly for data scientists. Please let us know what you think!

P.S. please excuse my forgetting to add a description...
Halloumi has a similar squeaky texture so you could try that. The taste is not the same, though.
> This saying: "Humans are not special" is completely true. To deny this idea is to deny the truth.

That's your truth. Humans get to decide what humans consider special. Your perspective is fair: humans are not special to you.

But they are certainly special to me and most other humans. That's my truth. That's not denying some objective truth, because "specialness" isn't an objective thing that can be measured. It's, effectively, an opinion.

You and I measure "specialness" differently.

But even if I agreed with you (and I could easily argue your side of this debate), it still wouldn't affect my attitude towards AI pretending to be human. Humans don't have to be special in some grand sense to consider that problematic.
I haven't done it yet, but I am planning to use UTM. Dumb question, did you run an ARM64 image or a x86 on utm?
> operating system of human civilisation

That's a very reductive way to explain a system of billions of people and opposed political regimes. It doesn't even pass the most cursory of smell tests.

> Language is the stuff almost all human culture is made of. Human rights, for example, aren’t inscribed in our DNA. Rather, they are cultural artefacts we created by telling stories and writing laws. Gods aren’t physical realities. Rather, they are cultural artefacts we created by inventing myths and writing scriptures.

All of these things are meaningless as text. It takes human tradition and perspective to understand and realize them, I would argue that replacing every CEO with an AI would be near-unnoticeable to the average citizen. We're already a broken people, AI doesn't exploit that any further than the perverted status quo already does.

More like 13. Even two meals a day feels like a lot on meat; for me the second meal is often almost a snack. As a raw vegan I grazed all day long, making it hard to count meals.
The strong feelings around the term Engineer partly date from the historical context, where inadequate engineering was more commonly and directly reflected in real human deaths. This was a huge motivator for the title of engineer to become codified and locked down to a specific set of proven and repeatable skills.

These days, most long-established engineering disciplines and similar professions are codified to the extent of having member's-only institutions and charters, and basically become "old boys clubs", including ranks and rituals.

Hence there is a divide, between these old schools of engineering and their exclusive ways, and those who use the term engineer more broadly and literally.

The old boys club mentality has many flaws, but they do have that one strong original point: that the harm one can inadvertently cause to others, under the title of engineer (or any expert), is proportional to the expertise claimed. If you claim you can design bridges, then it's incredibly important that you're right - else deaths.
That's absolutely not what they said. Let's keep hn better than that.
For all the crap on YT, there’s some real gold if you dig and clue the algo in. The SICP lectures I’d place in this category as well.
If by “extra spatial dimensions” you mean the parts of reality beyond our access, then I think I can follow what you’re suggesting.

I see matter as reality’s “tip of the iceberg” that consciousness sees. But the stuff beyond matter is probably not just more invisible material (i.e. not just “stuff” all the way down).

All signs point to the invisible not being dead stuff, but spirit, process, pattern; like a source or spring of “aliveness”. This is not impossible to check if we find the mysticism already latent in our beliefs that we aren’t accustomed to critically evaluating. Then from there, evaluating what we trust and why, then leaning more on traditions which have accumulated wisdom on how best to connect to that mysticism.

Anyway, it’s a very mystical question you asked. We don’t have to insist that the amazing tools we have for ascertaining material reality are universal to understanding all parts of it. By analogy, sure, subjective experience might arise from invisible material. But I prefer the top-down view of reality, where life is just presumed first.

Due process started with the liquor store rightly calling the police about receiving a counterfeit bill from an intoxicated individual and the police questioning the suspect. When your culture tells you to resist, and you do, you have given up due process.
> Probably true on some level, I don't know enough about it to judge it and I don't see how it makes a difference.

Hah... how to know you're not talking to a serious person. Of course it has something to do with it. Putin's been rigging elections and jailing opponents to ensure he's "democratically" in power. In reality he probably knows he's deeply unpopular because of his corruption. But hey, it's easier for you to look away and say "Probably true [...] I don't know enough about it to judge.". How convenient of you to say "let's just ignore that bit, for the benefit of my delusion, shall we?".

Why is it important whether he's corrupt or not? I've written why in my other post. If Putin was a clean president, Ukrainians probably would not have had any issues if their (also clean) president wanted to be closer to Russia. But if the corrupt Yanukovych wanted to be closer to the corrupt Putin, why do you think that is? Maybe because he would gain protection to continue to be even more corrupt. And what citizenry should tolerate being robbed from?

As to your link, it says:

> The leaked documents suggest he had – or has – a previously undisclosed stake in an offshore company, which he appears to have secretly transferred to a friend weeks before winning the presidential vote.

Huh, so he wanted to hide money that he earned before he was a politician? Hey... I don't know enough about it to judge, but that seems less terrible than using your political office for personal gain. But hey, maybe that's just me turning a blind eye, just like you're willing to turn a million blind eyes from Putin's and Yanukovych's corruption.
Also worth reading are the "Linda Letters" from Communications of the ACM, October 1989, vol 32, no 10, p 1244. I found an excerpt at https://web.archive.org/web/20160901000000*/https://www.cyph..., starting on page 4 of the PDF

Or toast, salted butter, Marmite, and cucumber
It's really easy. If you directly spend more than your friend could ever afford to take from their disposable income if you switched places and while being overly emotional/drunk/etc., you're taking on the risk of hurting their dignity.

Taking your friend for a ride in your expensive car should be fine, giving them the keys for a week is absolutely not.

If you really want to lash out, like @ilyt said, make it invisible: spend on preparations or takedown, maybe arrange a little happy accident, or just spend normally and donate the rest to your friend's cause of choice.

First world problem, if I ever saw one.

Now, talking about power dynamics, meaning of work and success for interpersonal relationship, it's a whole another level of complexity that's important, but it's not just about the money.
I find the thought of eating fish and seafood abhorrent, as I do not respect them. However, I don't deny that some people find them tasty.

Try some butter on toast if it's been that long! I'm sure you'll enjoy it to some degree :-)
Very interesting take. In order to keep a democracy functioning properly, education is required. The lines between education and propagandalf wizardry become blurry when economic incentives and dearths of ethics enter the field.
It's not a character based model (likely - although it's closed source so anything is technically possible behind the scenes) so this makes some sense.
The system can infer some relationships, which may be why 'agy' is conflated with 'agi' interestingly, but the tokenization process yields sequences of 'symbols' or indexes that are decided to English - so the system has a more difficult task when asked about 'e's (probably something like token 4893) and has to determine which tokens (e.g. [358,284840, 58292, 4830104, 57282, 4829193, 58282, 384, 24945] contain 'e's or token 4893).
None of them do directly it seems - but 58292 may be 'ee' - so you would get this wrong as well.

Uh, no. Permaculture produces a fraction of the calories per acre of traditional monoculture agriculture. It is nothing more than an amusement for dilettantes, as is any other system that claims to significantly improve upon the ~12,000 of human experience with field-based agriculture. I'm in the process of converting a 20 acre tract of woods into a "productive" farm via a combination of aquapontics and permaculture, I just don't have any illusions that I'm doing anything other than fucking around for my own amusement.
Put blame where blame is due. Poor security practices in operating systems of Internet-connected devices are breaking the Internet. Bandwidth is not cheap and only botnets can afford to DDoS major Internet sites. Cloudflare is the mitigation to terrible security practices in software development and system administration that allows botnets to persist. Cloudflare is simply the Schelling point people have arrived at to minimize harm until we have better-secured peers on the Internet (if ever).

The incentives are unfortunate; bandwidth is not free but it's cheap enough that individual owners don't really care if their hosts are part of a botnet until their ISP starts complaining or disconnects them. Individuals also don't really have good choices available to them; consumer devices rarely get patched for very long compared to their useful lifetime.

I think the current compromise is better than some alternatives like an Internet Passport or harsh penalties for making mistakes on the Internet or FDA/FCC levels of scrutiny on Internet-connected devices.

I first heard about the higher-fat French butter when I read about a French pastry chef/baker who moved to Canada, only to have difficulty replicating her pastries using local Canadian butter.

The best available at the moment is the gcenx/wine/wine-crossover homebrew cask, but that's dependent on Crossover source, which is a full major version behind HQ (Wine 7.7 vs 8.7) and requires installing homebrew (which is too advanced for some people).

If you know git: a federated wiki works like that. To make a federated wiki work like a traditional wiki, you can think of there as being a "canonical copy" which you can clone, make edits, and then use a 'pull request' process for incorporating those edits back into the original. But you also don't need to have a single source of truth: you can, for example, have a group of people—say, students studying for a class—who are building their own wikis, and among each other they can copy in pages, make changes, copy changes back, and so forth, all building a web of things. In the same way that git can replicate a subversion-like workflow but also introduces the possibility of different workflows, a federated wiki can replicate a traditional wiki but also has a number of workflows it can accomplish.
I do think removing parking restrictions is hugely beneficial for communities (allowing developers to add more or less as they see appropriate for their situation). I'd recommend https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_High_Cost_of_Free_Parking for some more background here.

Congestion pricing is another thing that really does overall improve the quality of life.

The problem with offering free public parking or trying to force developers to make free parking is that it is not free for the community at large.

My own parents (who I love) live by the beach in LA, and they have 3 cars for 2 people. The only reason they do this is because parking on the street is free. Parking is crowded, and 1-2 cars can't park at the beach because my parents are taking 1-2 slots they could have. And this is multiplied across the whole community.

I also am against parking maximums, which are starting to pop up. People should be able to decide what is the right amount of parking for their home or business.
If everyone is so determined, perhaps we can start by halting all meat exports and sanctions on countries that import meat.

I grew up in Norrbotten (north of the gulf of botnia, northernmost part of Sweden). This was (and still is a thing). Anyway, my mother is from the province of Hälsingland (in the middle part of Sweden), there one eats ”ostkaka” (cheese cake), which is almost the same thing, but heated in the oven and eaten with jam. I therefore suspect these to be ”relic-dishes” and that this type of dairy product was once more widely spread.

And for those who have neither heard or eaten kaffeost, the most similar thing I can think of is Halloumi, though unsalted and made from predominantly cow's milk.

Would you share some details? This indeed sounds very slow, so I suppose there should be some easy ways to speed things up.

Just to give you an idea of what's possible: A couple years ago I worked on live object recognition & classification (using Python and Tensorflow) and got to about ~30 FPS on an Nvidia Jetson Nano (i.e. using the GPU) and still ~12 FPS on an average laptop (using only the CPU).
Back in CRT days I was given a tiny desktop fishtank with plastic fish that swam in it.

I turned it on and my screen image started gently moving around.

The fish swam with magnets and having the little tank next to the screen was causing the screen image to move around.
I know. That’s not what I said.
System availability is an emergent property - I can build five nines of availability out of components with just two nines. Retries, algorithmic handling of failure, and the like.
I am trying to understand your point. Are you saying it could be more efficient on a CPU using a different language than Python? Or are you saying CPUs are slow, GPUs should be used? Or are you saying classifying images algorithms can be improved more?
