Mine either, I would have opted for something else. I didn't understand that methotrexate is chemotherapy.
Isn't the US still the world largest producer of porn?

Honestly we (Europeans) make the same mistake the Americans do in regards to us, we view the US as one homogeneous mass. The difference between states seems like it's often as great as between European nations. I'd be less concerned about the laws of the individual state, if companies did target the lowest common denominator for the entire US, just to make business easier.

PornHub is in my mind doing the right thing, blocking the state that's causing issues.
Pinboard is abandoned. Not just in the sense that no new features have been added in years, but in the sense that existing features are actually broken and are not being fixed, despite still accepting money from customers.
People in this thread are missing the fact that “spice” isnt a single drug but the slang for anything sprayed on herbs and sold as a weed replacement.
> can't think of anything more democratic then appealing to the majority of the people

Populism, pejoratively, means rampant majoritarianism, a known failure mode of democracies. Unfortunately it’s a term, like liberal, that’s been expanded to the point of meaningless.
That's what "company town" is, which is not at all what the article is talking about.
Having built remote healthcare five years prior to Covid under HIPAA where you have an interdisciplinary team on the coach side and a chronically ill and vulnerable patient on the iPad side, who frequently have little to no mental model of what these "tin screens and string tubes" are doing to help them, the notion that "sensible laws" exist to govern any of this is beyond me. The chasm of disconnects between legal, politics, and tech has only gotten broader and deeper over the last 30 years while we realize that there was a reason that innovators were talking about the need for interdisciplinary work in the 50s before we deprecated the humanities. "Things that don't scale" is a mild understatement from costs to benefits. It makes, "another day at the office" look like the Khumbu Ice-fall.
> an online service can't meaningfully claim to lack the connectivity needed for ID lookups

Partial connectivity outages happen literally every day. Most people don’t notice. Websites like “down for everyone or just me”, or uptime monitors that monitor from dozens of different source locations, exist because of this.
Java is a choice which isn't too different from .NET in many ways except it more cross-platform. Every company I've worked for in the past decade that is running production servers has been using JVM languages for back end services.
This has been valid even decades before internet took over the world, I recall quite a few articles listed well known cases some years ago. Sure it wont push for some small startup but big corporations, sales of commercial planes, military equipment contracts and similar stuff for billions and more?

CIA/NSA would be failing at its core real mission if they didnt help US interests when they see an opportunity. And with us-based cloud they dont need to hack anything remote, just fill another form and go again in.

Makes me think, having strong privacy laws like ie in Swtzerland is a massive win for given country and its citizens in long term.
Lots of places have mandatory ID checks regardless of appearance.
Are you using one of those de-Googled custom Android ROMs or stock?
The decline is definitely more interesting than the headline.

The headline number is also a cumulative total since legalization started. The annual tax revenue is around $4 billion:

> According to a new report from the Marijuana Policy Project, cannabis sales tax generated a healthy $3.77 billion in 2022, but that was slightly below 2021’s tax revenue of $3.86 billion.

The article doesn't speculate why revenues are declining. I wonder why. Maybe past high revenues were an artifact of people staying home during COVID? Or is it a result of decreasing prices? I'm not a consumer, so I don't really know what's going on in the market.
haha.. as if it would be her boyfriend's fault. Way to pass the blame.

Yea go tell that to someone actually living in a third world country. How out of touch and spoiled can you be?
Why should the US gov get the overflow? Why not local or state?
can you tell me why it seems likely to you? obvious, inevitable, these are religious ways to reason. what coexistence are we talking about beyond how we co-exist with existing software?
I disable that functionality on Gnome. Alt-tab to a terminal and alt-tab back to the editor is much faster that displaying all windows and clicking on the one I want to go to. Even two or three alt-tabs are faster than that. Furthermore alt-tab don't move the screen. It only raises a window on top of the other. Everything is still. The Gnome way is to move everything on the screen and move it back to the original place. I don't suffer from motion sickness but windows should stay put where I placed them.
Bezos has all the money he needs (and got government money too) and yet his rockets don't land - actually they don't even take off.

Then we could talk about NASA's SLS... (Branson isn't even worth discussing at this point)

Both organizations have the money and the engineers and scientists, only those working for Musk have a landing rocket. Clearly there's something special about Musk.

Bowling Alone came out in 2000 and it’s about trends that’s happened since the ‘50s. It’s arguable that said cultural constructions have been disappearing for a while.

I am looking into open sourcing a PWA ChatGPT client for this. But I am not certain how to handle authentication without a backend or each user needing to add their OpenAI key
I don’t even need the article. Of course it costs multiples more. No individual criminal (or local group) can even touch the amount of money made through manipulating the financial systems themselves.
The natural time to ask to set a default browser is:

- The user attempts to open a link in the default browser and it isn't set.
- The user installs a new browser.
- The user uninstalls a browser that is set as the default.

Inside the app there is no way to tell the difference between wanting to use that particular app for this one specific task, or preferring this app above all others. (An adaptive UX could notice that the user has manually opened an app many more times than others and suggest setting it as default.)

The problem here is Microsoft gives no way to uninstall Edge. So the only way to know if the user wants to stop using it as default, if they didn't switch when installing another browser, is for the 3rd-party app to reach in and claw back the default setting.
I currently have my portfolio/cv on it. It's simple and great.

I know it violates the guidelines but I suggest you actually read the article and reply to that, rather than just making things up in your head and replying to the fantasy.
“I can give up/reduce flying, and that's what I am doing”

That’s completely meaningless. It accomplishes absolutely nothing. Climate change isn’t slowed. This is one of those problems where we need to fix the big problems. And we need to fix it globally.

Toxic Tides and Environmental Injustice: Sea Level Rise/Flooding on CA Coast
Toxic Tides and Environmental Injustice: Social Vulnerability to Sea Level Rise and Flooding of Hazardous Sites in Coastal California https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.est.2c07481 summary:

"Climate Central, in partnership with UC Berkeley and UCLA, is proud to announce the publication of a new peer-reviewed study analyzing the risks sea level rise and coastal flooding pose to hazardous facilities and the communities near them in California.

Our research found that over 120 hazardous facilities, including oil refineries, landfills, and sewage treatment plants, will be at risk of coastal flooding by 2050, and over 400 could be at risk by the end of the century if carbon pollution is allowed to grow unchecked. When hazardous facilities flood they can release dangerous substances, exposing nearby residents to toxic floodwaters.

Socially marginalized populations, including those with higher proportions of residents living in poverty, residents of color, renters, linguistically isolated households, elderly residents, and single-parent households had a higher likelihood of living near an at-risk hazardous facility. Disadvantaged communities (as defined by CalEnviroScreen 4.0) are over 5 times more likely to live within 1 kilometer of at least one hazardous facility at risk of flooding in 2050."
How does one decide whether 1 bank for every 77k people is a good thing or bad? What metrics go into such an evaluation? It feels to me that banks can be a bit bigger to reduce risk given the global nature of markets these days.

> beauty in the eye of the beholder

Yeah, I can acknowledge that. Though surveys do show that most people tend to favor classical architecture.

There's also the matter of what you're comparing it to. Some brutalism may not be beautiful, or as beautiful as something classical in form, but the best examples are just interesting in a way that a generic 5-over-2 building isn't.

I think maintenance of materials matters a lot as well. Concrete's aesthetic really depends on it being clean and crack-free.
Well, it's not going to get less readable if you do nothing, which I think was the point. You're getting at being able to make it more readable with design, which is possible, and addressed a few sentences later. But, the defaults aren't too bad: black text on white, blue or purple hyperlinks with underlines, larger headings, responsive, etc. The one thing I would always do is enforce a maximum line length for larger monitors.
I completely agree. Weed has replaced almost my entire alcohol consumption which was a lot. The “unsober” feeling is key here
I follow but that looks like a weak (presumptive) inductive argument to me. Could it be that Hinton is convinced by an argument like that? I would have expected something more technically specific.

Whale oil was replaced because of cheaper and superior synthetic alternatives. CRT Television were replaced because of more practical flat panels.

There are no advantages to electrical stoves compared to gas stoves. Gas stoves are far superior to electrical for cooking, and for operating both electrical and gas are equivalently practical. The energy cost of gas vs electrical is unimportant for home use, and in professional use you will use gas stoves.

Both electricity and gas (in general) are equally modern (or old) technologies, being a couple of hundred years old. Replacing gas with electricity is in no sense progression, it's just different tech.

Induction stoves are much better than conventional electric, but they are a far cry from gas stoves, which have all the benefits of induction and none of the drawbacks.
Why is this amazing? Isn't this pretty much the standard situation everywhere - aka, rules for thee, none for me? For example, NRA not letting guns at their convention, but they want guns everywhere else. And on and on and on...
Seems kind of silly to pay rent for company housing though.
Tunneling all traffic through Tor can be risky, especially if you're using exit nodes to access clearweb applications. The traffic patterns of your tunnel will be significantly different from most Tor traffic (browsers, exclusively) which can help pinpoint your phone if the authorities are wiretapping your connection. Allegedly, the various law enforcement agencies around the world operate a significant amount of exit nodes and if they can pinpoint a particular traffic pattern, they may be able to trace it back home.

I would be more selective with my traffic. Use Tor Browser for browser traffic, but keep sending Signal/Session/whatever through normal means. That makes your phone stand out less. Consider using a decent VPN like Mullvad, that should provide enough plausible deniability not to stand out.
But if a parent neglects those responsibilities society is understood to have the right to intervene. In other words, the state has the responsibility to intervene on behalf of society for the well being of children. Given that responsibility, its pretty easy to suggest that the state has the power to make laws which may protect children over and above what individual parents might do.
This points to needing _more_ regulation, not less. Potency could be mandated with clear warnings/notices at the point of purchase (like alcohol). The FDA (or whatever governing body) could also limit the potency.

The current status quo is that no one knows what they are getting until it's used, at which point its too late. If you could know exactly what you are getting (plus the means to seek help without fear of legal repercussions), then this would be a non-issue.

You could also have made a similar case with alcohol, but at some point the potency makes the product worse. For example, how many people do you see drinking everclear?

I agree, I've had huge variation in the nibs as well. I did some research on how to polish the nibs a bit and was able to tune the ones that didn't perform as well.

Even the gold nib needed tuning. :(

You should be able to feel a _consistent_ feedback as you write with a proper nib. Two of the three nibs that I bought didn't perform out of the box. And a fine nib was too dry. I bought some brass spacers to separate the tins a bit.
I had it explained at a very early age as "three lots of three", and to imagine it like three boxes of three ice-creams. Treating the multiplication symbol as one would to indicate quantity in a list, thus calculating how many ice-creams there are.
I think the true thing is that IBM has ceased to be a leader in Computer Science. They used to be! But they gave that up long ago, and have resorted to various publicity stunts (e.g., remember Jeopardy?). But sure, they may be a leader in materials and semiconductors (though honestly I have no idea, that's not my space).
During the time between sprint meetings you have the chance to gather information. If there has not been any new evidence that the ticket was important, then over time it makes sense to gradually deprioritize it
My post was about how the assumption that a yurt would be an improvement over current technology makes some weird assumptions. Like, that current army tents are square.

I don’t think it’s my responsibility to read up on how foreign armies operate in details like tent shape. Movies don’t generally dwell on such details. At least not the ones I watch. I don’t know what floats your boat — maybe there are movies about military logistics?
It is just common sense.

Traffic correlation: All the large state actors are well capable of recording every single IP transaction between devices. You can create detailed correlation maps from these transactions. Considering that this wouldn't cost much for state actors to implement, one has to assume such traffic correlation systems currently exists.

Node compromise: It costs less than 5 dollars a month to create a TOR node. There are currently ~8000 TOR nodes/relays in existence. That is 40k USD per month (at most). Do you really believe state actors can't afford 40k USD per month to compromise the vast majority of TOR nodes? Even a single millionaire can compromise the vast majority of TOR nodes.

Another problem is that TOR is an outdated privacy tech. considering modern state actor capabilities. Mixer networks + network jitter is necessary to protect privacy at this stage, yet no such project exists yet.

TOR is not a good option for privacy. Currently only valid option for privacy is external Wi-Fi jacking and ensuring you don't send any private info like CPUID.

Or alternatively, you can hack routers/computers and put your own TOR nodes in them, then you can only use these known nodes.
I think it's unfair you're being downvoted for sharing your experience.

Definitely agree that human therapists aren't perfect either. I never had much success with therapy personally. I've had to basically figure it all out myself. But I have occasionally had some really good therapy sessions.

But ok, at least with a therapist, another human being cares enough to want to help, and that can make a difference.

Tell a heavily depressed person to use a chat bot, and you're implicitly telling them they're so worthless that they're not even worth another human having a conversation with them. You might not mean that, but that is what the depressed mind will read into it.
Dude has a physics degree and was accepted into a Standford graduate program (before dropping out.) This critique of him is out of spite and not accurate.
> But who is creating the regulation?

You know who writes our laws? Lobbyists. Politicians are not the ones drafting the bill. They merely take the drafts produced by lobbyists and then pass them.

Do you also know who runs various government agencies tasked with regulating different sectors? Again, it is a revolving door for private sector execs.

> It is literally the state

True, but the state is, to a large extent, influenced by corporations.

With Intel dropping the Pentium and Celeron monikers for just Intel <Model number> I think you're right on the money.
On the scale of withdrawals, it's way on the left of the 'how bad they are' scale.

It's not quite caffeine withdrawal, but it's also nothing like alcohol (which can kill you) or nicotine withdrawal.
That explains some stuff!

Yes, but you'll see "decimal" more in the wild, and that's what people mean by it. "You write it with a decimal point", and they do usually mean to include the irrationals. So, yes, real numbers, but the reasoning behind their usage is "you write it with a decimal point". I'd bet more people understand "decimal number" used in that sense, than understand "real number".
Given that Chrome is aggressively pursuing privacy sandbox, which is roundly rejected by everybody in the web privacy community, is aggressively user hostile, and designed solely as a means to leverage chrome’s (current) dominance to support google ad business, it’s fair to start treating chrome as malware.
I have a theory that propagandists' jobs are safer than they would seem.

Thing is, when you're arguing online with some political consultant who four years ago was convinced Joe Biden was senile (because they supported Amy Klobuchar), who is now just as convinced he's sharp as a razor and ready for another term, are they really trying to convince you with their arguments?

No, I don't think so. I think the whole point is what they're doing to themselves. Look at me, how loyal I am. I won't stop at anything to win. I don't care if my past words indict me, that was then, this is now and everything is at stake! Winners never quit! Never mind what you think, don't you feel my determination?

So it's not about the quality of the words that come out of their mouth. GPT4 can surely produce much better words, but that's not what's supposed to convince. It's the example, the example of fanatical organizational-personal loyalty, that's supposed to convince. GPT4 would need to lie and convince people it's a real person - or rather, many real people - in order for that sort of thing to work. But political consultants are already doing that at scale. It's probably not any better at lying, and even if it is, what they have is good enough.

Substitute Biden and Klobuchar for any other politicians, obviously. It's not a left/right thing.
Educate me. What happened post 60s civil rights movement? Reefer Madness stuff (clearly racist) was 100 years ago. Pot is a pyschoactive substance - you don't have to be a racist to have concerns at a social policy level with pervassive use of a pschoactive substance that for many also introduces lethargy. What the effect will be is TBD. I am curious to see what happens (and yes, I partake.)
We already have something developed like that in our company (~30 pax employee owned wealth management firm). It's.... interesting.

We currently use GPT-4 combined with an internal knowledge base we had earlier since the beginning, and we practically have to fire our chief of staff and the admin team. Just kidding, but it's made her team's work a ton easier that she can devote more time to the nitty-gritty hard stuff.

The interesting part is that I had a bit of a personality touch added as part of its context, so the AI's character is quite.... villainous.

Enterprise self-hosted ChatGPT is going to be huge.
Yes education on content filters is absurdly low despite how crucial they are for general use. There are so many layers of filters that exist today (and almost every major player has their own family filter app/system), but outside of the ones that are forced before use, many have absolutely no idea they exist. It gets tucked away in a settings menu somewhere under your account menu basically. Or like on iOS where you have to also go into screen time to set filters, it can be confusing!

This isn't to say the systems that exist are really good enough yet, many of them need to be more detailed. For example, most apps are an on or off toggle, rather than a "let my kid play minecraft but chat is disabled and they can only join designated family friendly realms". So what often ends up happening even for parents who do know about the filters, is they wind up relaxing them to the point of being useless.
