I assumed you did, as it's a very strange post to link to on a very strange blog, and doesn't lend credibility to the idea that a human being is an LLM simply by existing, and if it was such a compelling idea then it wouldn't be languishing on a free WordPress.

Qualifications are a great way of figuring out who's worth listening to, but that's not always the case as AI/ML folks prove with regularity, but it's nice to know if someone isn't just an armchair commentator and isn't peddling baseless information.
oh, IMO the answer to what this article is missing is easy:"almost everything".

To me it looks like some sort of product placement marketing fluff with "Montblanc" thrown in just to give it a measure of plausible deniability.
My 6 year old is learning multiplication at the moment.
The announcement was from the Maine AG. I presume these are all customers in Maine. It’s likely customers in other states were affected as well, but this has not been announced.
In my experience, SVN was _everywhere_ 10 years ago or so.
I think in a world in which teenagers have a realistic/healthy view on their sexuality and human sexuality in general is a world in which they are capable of inferring that what can be seen in porn is unrealistic, most of the time demeaning, and not something to be idealised.
Some do, yes. If they have an aptitude for basic sums then pointing out that 3 x 3 is the same as 3 + 3 + 3 sets them down the right path ...
https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/14/worst-that-can-happen/ is a pretty good summary of the problem :)
It makes no sense to me that every physical store in a state must check IDs if you want to buy porn or alcohol, but porn websites can just let anyone in without checking ID.

There are legitimate privacy concerns with checking ID online, but I think it’s way past time that the government does something to restrict the supply of porn to minors via the internet.

The same with social media. The evidence that social media causes harm to minors is clear and compelling.
There's also Atlassian Bitbucket. Which we're moving away from, because they do not support arm Docker builds. They don't support it because it requires privileged flag, and so it would give access to other builds on the same machine...

So apparently there's two great reason to move away from Bitbucket. Not supporting arm builds and apparently you're one exploit away from other builds on the same machine having access to yours?

Literally a brutal regression.
Reading that thread from December, it looks like Pinboard’s archive service is not in good health, but the core bookmarking service is still operating correctly. I didn’t really remember that Pinboard had an archiving service (delicious didn’t), but yep, that extra component appears to be suffering.

Hahah, awesome idea. In the past I wanted to stick phones to the trees in the random forest and made my own onion mobile phone network. But cars are better because moving all the time.
> Never heard of blacklisting non-stolen cellphones

Well consider yourself having heard. The AT&T MVNO I was on at the time kept sending me SMSs telling me I had to upgrade, until eventually the phone went no service. I recently tried sticking a T-mo MVNO SIM in the phone, which didn't work either. You can read about this if you search for "non-VoLTE" or "3G shutdown". The S7 was a 4G phone that used LTE data and UMTS voice, so the LTE data would have continued to work without the blacklisting - in fact I think I even used it for a month or two after they shut down UMTS voice but before they forcibly kicked it off the network.

> People end up smashing them, they wear out

Sure, this has happened to phones I've owned. But in this case it didn't - as I've repeatedly said, I was perfectly happy with the condition of the hardware.

> they flat-out just need an upgrade to run the latest x app or piece of hardware, or stay up to date with security vulns as a workplace mandate

This is exactly the software issue that we're discussing, so it's not an argument. Sure, people get encouraged to just go with the flow of needless software churn, and use it as an excuse to buy a shiny new thing. We're discussing the (lack of) justification for that churn to begin with.

You've shotgunned a heap of half-arguments that fall apart under examination. Replacement parts are readily available from donor phones on eBay. Google certainly has the power to dictate to Qualcomm that kernel sources must be released (per GPL2), and this is irrelevant with Tensor. Regardless of what it took to get Linux running on any given device, it can be kept running without reverse engineering.

The primary reason that Google et al get away with artificially short lifetimes from software churn is that it doesn't help their bottom line to do otherwise. And so it seems the only things we can do are shame and/or legislate. And I don't see the point of detracting from that energy just because Google is slightly better than the rest of the terrible industry they had a large part in creating.
Visit somewhere smelly like a farm and your sense of smell is blown away by what you would call pretty odiferous smells. Stay there a few days and the smell seems to lessen. I guess the receptors get blasé about these molecules to help you cope with your new environment. So I would go with the idea of saturation.
So you're saying all languages (and in fact ISAs, because that really describes WASM more accurately!) need to come with a static analyzer that detects and prevents any attempts of implementing low-level cryptography rather than calling out to a high-quality library? Because that's what happened here.

What we can do is provide well-tested and ergonomic high-level cryptographic libraries; I don't see how we can enforce their use.
We don't need to abolish H1B. Just bump the minimum salary to $120k, index it to inflation, and make it so anyone in good standing can easily get a green card at the end of their first 3-year term. That's basically what you're asking for with minimal changes to the program.
Debatable. You would come into work in the morning and find that VSS had been corrupted and needed to be restored to an earlier backup. This was a common occurrence.
> What’s so special about having 128 gpu cores when nvidia has had thousands of cores in their gpus for over a decade.

Its a CPU not a GPU, that’s what is special. (Also, counting shading units, which are often called cores on NVidia GPUs, this has 1024, which still wouldn’t be a lot for a GPU, but 128 vs. the usual way cores are counted for Nvidia GPUs is the wrong comparison.)

I would rather say that your statements in this particular topic and wise statements per se are separate things entirely and what you have just claimed is not at all.
> Betterhelp has a $7.8 million dollar judgment issue against them by the US regulatory agency the FTC for promising not to share sensitive mental health information for advertising and then turning around and doing just that.

I always wonder how things like this interact with sponsorship - I hear a lot of podcasts that have Betterhelp ads in them. I wonder whether, if they knew about such issues, that would affect their decision to take the sponsorship and promote them. Even if not in a binary "that's a non-starter" way, does it make people less inclined to take them on, and more open to other sponsors? Or do people not pay attention to their sponsors at all?

I really hate these mathematical technicalities spawned from material implication, chosen way of making a definition and vacuous truth - why can't we even consider some questions to be marked as non-sense/non-relevant like in relevance logic?
I was nodding along until I got to this bit:

> The model fits well—almost too well—the current American reality. The median person is the “deplorable” (to quote Hillary Clinton), a populist (to quote the mainstream media), a Hillbilly (to quote J. D. Vance) or one of the candidates for the deaths of despair (to quote Anne Case and Angus Deaton).

The average American is surprisingly sane politically, going by opinion polls so I don't see any basis for suggesting the median person is a deplorable or populist (in the negative sense of being a dupe for powerful interests, not the positive sense of liking things that are popular and help a wide number of people).

> Three-quarters of Americans say the tax system favors the rich and has too many loopholes. Three-quarters say that the wealthiest and large corporations should pay more in taxes. More than six in 10 Republicans agree. Sixty percent of Americans favor a wealth tax on those with more than $50 million in assets. (Consider: Only three-quarters of Americans correctly state that the earth revolves around the sun.)
> "Google AI person left Google to talk freely about the dangers of AI", they're thinking about ChatGPT.

On some level, that is exactly my concern. If the public thinks ChatGPT is an AGI, it is going to be very difficult to convince them that actually ChatGPT is vulnerable to extremely basic attacks and shouldn't be wired up to critical systems.
The mathematically curious probably do. I did.
I thought BSL was a subset of Scheme, so it avoids most of those problems you mention. Or do I misremember?
> while fantastic if that's what you're into - would not typically be useful as a mental health treatment

hopefully you were thinking of cognitive behavioral therapy because you would be correct:

It’s probably about as dangerous to minors as sitting the minor in a room while 2 consenting adults have sex, or taking that minor to a strip club. Does the screen itself prevent trauma? Would you be ok with having your child exposed to either of these?

What about a gentle and loving uncle molesting a child in a way not much different from playful wrestling? Wrestling is fine, but we all recognize the molestation is incredibly harmful, even in this situation (because the harm isn’t the violence of it, it’s the actual sex itself).

This is just common sense. Of course sexualizing (sexually activating) children (which porn does) at a young age is harmful. It’s probably very harmful to adults too in large doses like porn addiction.
No, they are false because they are.

H-1B visa requirements, processes, and data are publicly available. What you provided is just hearsay at best.
I assume you mean the nib wrote scratchy. Honestly, troubleshooting that issue is something you have to be prepared for if you have a fountain pen. I haven't used enough of any nib to know if some of them have genuine design or quality control problems, or if the volume of reports online is due to people expecting a more plug-and-play experience.
LineageOS, GrapheneOS and CalyxOS all have network and firewall restrictions on applications. You can even limit by certain networks (5G, Wifi, etc..)

It's nice to be able to sandbox an app so it can't do anything, especially call home.
No one cares, stock price continues to explode relative to telecom competitors. What incentive does TMobile need to resolve this nonsense?
If you're that concerned about it you should talk to your daughter about the risks of consenting to group sex, and the risks of hanging out with boys who are interested in it.

All this content was available when I was a teenager and my friends watched it. Those who actually follow through with having group activities quickly find out that it's way different than porn and not really all that enjoyable anyway.
Woz did one step further: had custom homes built beside one another.
Don't like GitHub? Just self-host. Even projects like ReactOS, RedoxOS, wireguard are doing it for years.

Sorry but I have to take a strong disagreement with the claim that anyone has just as much of a right to live in America. Maybe in some highly abstracted form you could say that is America is just job opportunity but for those of us who were born here, it is our home. Our families are here, our lives are here. I'm sure lots of people are more qualified to write Java apps than the native population of America, but America is more than a factory for Java apps. It is communities, cultures and people. Saying that those communities should please make room for anyone who wants a job is just really insensitive and entitled. You see the same thing play out at a local level with gentrification. The people who have built a functional community are squeezed out the moment a large tech company wants to take over the housing stock for a bunch of transplants. The locals are pushed to the margins and a bunch of yuppy tech workers puzzle over why everyone hates them. There is an element of fairness in thinking that we are all the same, but I think you would feel differently if it were your family and friends getting pushed out from the home they built up for a generation.
Say it with me.

Technology does not solve people problems. It only makes them worse/creates new ones in the process of (generally poorly) trying to partially solve them.

This is a people problem.

Just want to say I love this website's animated logo.
Also upvoting for Sourcehut. I don't publish much of my code these days but Sourcehut is to me what GitHub was earlier before it got bit.
Yes, my experience is that Github isn't actually universal. I've yet to work for a company that uses it, personally. My only interaction with Github is in the hobbyist realm when I want code from an OSS project that is hosted there.
Mercurial's phases and changeset evolution make specifically rebasing far less painful. git rebase -i is downright antediluvian in comparison.
This just implies that infinity is both even and odd, which means that the statement "infinity is even" is still technically correct by this reasoning.
You are totally right. While we are at it, lets ban video games because they obviously cause school shootings.
> "Newest technologies" are for early adopters and hype suckers.

This definitely doesn't come off as "positive and a negative". By grouping them together (and casting them as an "other") you are devaluing them.
Thinking of alternatives to Git reminds me the different ways to install Python packages, all the different JS frameworks. God, please don't let there be 4-7 semi popular different ways of source control. There's already so much to learn.

That's not what it's claiming at all. It's taking umbrage with the word "just" in "just predicting the next word".

> they've really done a 360 on openness

I don't think that's fair - I'd guess many (probably most) large, fully open source projects have trademarked their name/project to stop people using it for similar projects, scamming, and confusing users. GPT may have been a step too far for OpenAI but even the FSF agree on Trademarks:

Nice example! Indeed, this language has a few interesting equivalent problem statements.
What about non-technical users? For my parents and siblings, using "free" online email from a major provider, like Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo certainly keeps them safer than old school POP3 (download to your PC). Email can get lost, scanning attachments was poor, and spam filtering was terrible, even by major Internet providers.

A debit card is still linked to your checking account. That doesn’t help.
Porn absolutely is dangerous if it becomes a habit.

But just like binge-drinking and narcotics, parents and kids should have conversations and work together to build healthy ideas of sexuality. It shouldn't be a government decree thing, because that seemingly takes the responsibility off parents. But we all know a decree won't work, kids will find a way, so it will return to being the parents' problem.
If you're not a writer or artist, you might not find much practical advantage of a fountain pen over a gel pen; I might even advise against them. However if you do frequently write and/or draw, you'll find the customization to be unmatched: you can experiment until you find the exact writing feel you prefer, adjusted by ink, nibs, paper types, etc.

Since I found my match in fountain pens, I've found it impossible to go back to anything else. The small amount of maintenance (refilling and occasionally cleaning) is thoroughly outweighed by the tactile sensation of a writing/drawing instrument perfectly tuned to my preference. But I'm an amateur artist, so finding a well-matched tool is very important to me.

You raise the money and you have to deliver. And media, esp. things like news, have thin margins.

I don't know what the going rate is these days but I recall numbers like $0.2 – $2.5 per 1,000 views. Meaning you need to get, and maintain, lots and lots of clicks. Which means lowest common denominator clickbate, while simultaneously not being too edgy and scaring off advertisers. And it's a deep, busy market, so you've got tons of competition, too.

So throwing $1B at it is kind of overkill; it'll be ages before you ever get it back, and it locks you into a race-to-the-bottom market that's incredibly fickle. You coulda put that into a tech startup, or S&P 500 index fund, etc. for less risk and less BS.
I don't think anyone educated on the topic really denies it. Rape is a relatively common human phenomenon, especially in Wartime.

The parent post made a claim about the emphasis and relevance.
Based on my own experience I am quite sure that code review doesn't sacrifice velocity, it enables it. Unreviewed development has no way to ensure everyone is pulling in the same direction.
Yeah, but how much I care is dramatically reduced if I'm dead (/s)
So it's the state of mental health coverage in Germany too. It's bad. Although therapy is paid for by the mandatory health insurance, there are multiple issues:
Wait times of months up to three quarters of a year for a place in hospital, similar wait periods for outpatient care. A lot of therapists won't put you on a waitlist anymore. Federal insurance won't issue more permits for therapist so it's a constant fight for already exhausted patients to find someone (not counting in of they get along).
On top, there is more and more pressure to keep mental health costs down by limiting time for inpatient care, by limiting (or severely hinder any extension) the amount of hours and so on.
Right it's a use type thing.

If everyone develops from master branch and makes small incremental changes, no problem even if it's git.

If everyone develops from their own branches and goes off and does their own thing for a month, but those things are all in totally separate areas of the codebase, not as much of a problem either.

If everyone is developing in their own branches for a month, and they're working on overlapping things, and they aren't communicating? Then you get merge problems

But it's not really a merge problem, it's a communication problem. (And it's not git-only, you see merge problems even in perforce when people go dark for a long time and come back with a huge change that's got conflicts on 50% of the lines now)

Entitlement is something that could perhaps be leveraged at the "drama" around the initial release of 1.19, with the removal of two fairly prominent "promised" features in the eyes of the community (a birch forest rework, and an ambient firefly mob) and reasons given were..

subpar in the community's eyes ("concept art is not a guarantee", while true, was worded quite poorly. And the firefly's removed because some IRL are poisonous to frogs, a mob also added in the update.. they had this same issue with chocolate cookies and parrots years back, and both of those are in the game and done in a way to educate players.. they could have just made them not eat them, and give players who search for why a mini biology lesson, as they seem to want to do extracurricular stuff about mangrove swamps already..)

And I did not dictate development cycle... I discussed how they had had issues with the preceding updates to chat reporting, compared to before caves and cliffs where feature creep/scope had not exceeded their capacity to deliver. This was certainly before chat reporting, the main gripe and meme of the community (wild update being memed as caves and cliffs part 3... Etc etc)

And then pointed out the rather concerning, expedited release schedule, for a feature was both poorly communicated, and poorly implemented both in policy vagueness and security issues. Fake security is worse than no security as it induces complacency.

> To receive any update should be lauded by the community.

Patently false, if I worked at Roblox, and updated it to mine crypto, or access the webcam so marketing could run facial emotion analysis on the players... Well that's an update to a game, why are you looking so angry?? It was a free update.

There was a para/social contract between the community and mojang, it was strained by external forces before the chat report update, and broken by it.

We see the fallout of it with the latest update, mojang are much more quiet about features than previously until they are practically finalised.
