I have a theory to explain this. Prior to Boomers, the public was very left wing. Unionization was high. Communist and Socialist parties had huge support. Until the 50s, a lot of towns had socialist mayors including Milwaukee. US had a top tax rate of 90%. But Boomers and Gen X are very conservative. Gen Z and A are again more left wing.

My theory is Boomers and Gen X have had a huge amounts of lead poisoning from leaded gasoline. This shifted their politics to be more conservative. The 'culture war' we are fighting now is really a generational war. One with people who have lead poisoning and another without.

This paper is misusing the term "reasoning" in my opinion.

At no point does the LLM know that 5+6 = 11, and if asked to solve a problem in which 5+6 was an implicit component of the solution but not explicitly present in the text, it would be completely lost.
I know I already posted in another comment but how active is she?

I was diagnosed in my 20s and at first it was a real atruggle to get out of bed. After initial rounds of steroids/TNF blockers, I really started to focus on strengthening my affected joints and it has quite literally been a miracle cure for me.

Nothing too crazy at first either, mine is in my feet so just lots of yoga and walking a couple miles or so a day did it for me.

Yeah, chat isn’t a universally great interface. But it’s a great default because it’s totally free form.

It should be pretty easy (even with today’s APIs and technology) to have an LLM design a user interface for you for your current task.

Simplest way: output a JSON of simple control definitions with every answer.

Coolest way: Just have it generate a full-ass React front end or whatever on every message.

If it can't for any reason, it's failed. The problem is the more things you pile on, the harder it gets. The main point of a business, and the main good it does, is not employing people. It's what goods or services it provides its customers, at a lower price.

If you moralise and add more things for a business to do, the big ones will do some performative stuff and spend their vast marketing budgets on it, and the small ones will go under, and we all lose because we get less choice and higher prices.

This comment made me think. Is the presence of lending an example of supply leading demand, rather than the other way around? I’ll have to read more on the history of the situation, but I don’t think anyone wants, e.g., a mortgage. They want a house and can’t afford it any other way.

In a system where mortgages didn’t exist, maybe houses would be more affordable for people.

In Canada, there is the concept of sabbatical accrual (https://ett.ca/know-your-rights-self-funded-leave-plan/). When my wife & I were backpacking in Patagonia we met a Canadian teaching couple with their two children doing the same thing, except instead of one week (us) they were on a 6mo trip from the southern tip of South America up to Alaska.

Then, the same year, we were visiting family in Grenada and met a young family (teachers) with a 4yo on a 40' sailboat they were cruising around the Caribbean on.

> Most Mormons I’ve met are so wholesome

Most humans I've met are wholesome, too. Of the Mormons I've known, several are utter scoundrels, quite a few were mean and petty, and many were dishonest when it suited them. Much like the rest of humanity, there are bad people who happen to be Mormon, and good people who happen to be Mormon. Several Mormons I knew developed a drinking habit on their mission, fell out for a while, and returned to the church.

Don't buy into the mythos. They're just people. The one trait that I did note as almost-uniform among the practicing Mormons that I've known is a distinct holier-than-thou attitude. In the good ones, that seemed to keep them honest. In the bad ones, it was their justification for misbehavior -- especially the petty meanness.

> Major question: is something like this feasible with Opnsense as a router, or should I only try it with a Linux solution?

It should be possible but I'm not familiar with opensense. If you can't use clatd there, you will need some other implementation of 464XLAT.

Then, if you want to offer IPv4 on your network, you'll have to use DHCP on a RFC1918 block (ex: offer IPs in 10.1.2.3) and masquerade to the 192.0.0.1 gateway you've created with your 464XLAT implementation (whether clatd or something else)

Here you'll have to use tayga as you don't seem to have a GW provided by your ISP level3.

> How much does this complicate my firewalling

Not much. The ip4 rules would be as before, but the clat interface would be your default ipv4 route so you'd need to replace all instances of `eth0` or `wlan0` by `clat` in your scripts on the machine running clatd

> Do I deal with firewalling IPV6 only from the outside world?

It depends if you want to firewall IPv6? If you fear some services are reachable by IPv6 while they shouldn't be, use ip6tables. Just remember in IPv6 you should keep icmp flowing as it serves many purposes.

You can also decide to not offer IPv6 at all on your lan (making it IPv4 only on 10.1.2.3, with the packets going to clatd 192.0.0.1 on your router)

> Or do I need to worry about RFC1918 addresses on my LAN "leaking" out to the IPv4 world via the IPv6 connection?

It shouldn't: IIRC 464XLAT implementations will only route non RFC1918 packets. Check the RFCs if you want to be sure, or forge packets to try.
Well, as somebody who is currently coding a calculation service that will handle a 500 billions portfolio, I can tell you this: the specs require the data to be interpolated + extrapolated left and right. And they use that to estimate risks and take huge decisions. And when they don't have enough data to interpolate from, they create a synthetic instrument from other instruments that have enough data, and use that to estimate risks and take decisions.

The only thing that makes the whole jenga tower stable is the fact it's all interdependent. E.G: to diminish your exposure, you take a swap with some other entity, and if everybody do that enough, the risk is averaged on the entire economy.

So from the inside, it's worse than it looks from the outside.

And mind you, the client I do that for is one of the most serious in the business. They are extremely risk adverse, and they have been acting nothing but honestly, at least at the level I can observe.

They are so by-the-book we have once found an error in $FAMOUS_DATA_PROVIDER calculations, because we thought we made a mistake, and we looked for it until we realized the data we compared ourselves to was wrong.

So if they manage half a trillion by using excel FORECAST.LINEAR and Matlab interp, imagine what is done by JP Morgan.

How is it less disruptive than a regular macOS update?
So much of this is going to hinge on what "smarter" means. My local library has heaps more knowledge than most individual people, but it'd be weird to call it "smarter" than a person.

And automation is generally cheaper and faster than human labor, but that's not a very compelling definition of "smarter" either.

But, as of right now, LLMs can't generate new knowledge or validate their own outputs. We'll need a pretty significant breakthrough for that to change, and breakthroughs are pretty unpredictable.
> blaming communism for the Great Chinese Famine in Mao’s China is unfair, when fascism is a much better explanation

Not to nitpick, but was Mao's China fascist, strictly speaking? I ask because the big 3 fascist regimes of the 20th century (Hitler's Germany, Mussolini's Italy, and Franco's Spain) were all stridently anti-communist, anti-collectivist, and anti-Marxist. You can see a lot of the other elements of many definitions of fascism in Mao's regime, but that anti-communist part is really hard to square. One definition I appreciated is that fascism is vocally and stridently anti-equality, and by that standard, Mao's regime is clearly not a fascist one, even as it just as strongly authoritarian as any self-described fascist regime.

I'm actually not prepared to say that communism or capitalism is more deadly, because I think the reality is that the people making decisions got to that place because of skill in political infighting, not superior judgement on the topic at hand.

That is, the reason planned economies do fail is not because planned economies must fail, per se. Rather economies are, of necessity, massively complicated things and its very difficult to account for every variable adequately whilst planning, to say nothing of the difficulty of conniving the appropriate carrots and sticks for every participant at every level, to convince all participants to follow the plan.

> I feel like there's not enough easily accessible information in the wild about what you're supposed to do with old electronics, and especially batteries.

Here in Norway it is in principle rather easy. The law requires shops that sell electronics, batteries, light bulbs and such to accept and handle such goods for recycling.

So, if you can buy it there, you can deliver it for recycling there.

There's also plenty of information about this in various ads, physical and social media, so hard to not know.

Yet people throw batteries and whatnot right in the trash, or worse. Some people just don't care about others, is my conclusion.
The Safari libraries are used by tons of apps running on OSX. It's probably just easier to reboot than to ensure that all affected apps are reloaded.

I assume Geoffrey Hinton has enough bags of cash for his lifetime and a few more on top of that. IDK why someone so well compensated and so well recognized would agree to limit themselves in exchange for a, relatively speaking, tiny bit more cash. That doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

Rural economies being fucked isn't capitalism's fault. If you don't create valuable things you won't get valuable things, that's true in all economic systems. If you want valuable things you should probably move somewhere where they are being created and get a job there. Forcing rural people to move to urban areas and work in factories is a classic communism move because it turns out people are more productive when near each other. Capitalism just gives people the choice of doing that or staying where they are and being poorer.

Allowing poverty to exist really has nothing to do with capitalism the economic system and everything to do with the political climate in society. Capitalism is just free markets and property rights, it doesn't say anything about government redistribution. Getting rid of markets would not help poor people at all.

On some level, you're right. Anything that isn't a zeroed out drive still contains data on it, though. If, say, Apple kept a copy of your drive key or had a backdoored derivation function, recovering your data would be as simple as a call to Cupertino. Failing that, the adversarial Powers That Be can easily generate a disk image to keep around for when AES is broken (or when it's possible to quickly bruteforce it).

This is for people who want to go a step beyond that. The next-best-thing to shredding the disk, you might say.
You being one of them doesn't mean you understand all the other people and their problems, nor that you know the solutions (or what isn't the solution).

I live in EU country with universal healthcare and yet we have serious issues with availability of mental healthcare, and some people here would make use of something like this.

High interest rates incentivize people to save now to spend more in the future and low interest rates incentivize people to spend now and spend less in the future.

Young people tend to be in the spend now camp as they purchase homes, cars and other big ticket items that they will pay with based on increasing incomes. Older people tend to save now so they can purchase what they need in the future when they have declining incomes.

The ratio of going to old influence interest rate demand.

It's an extension that lets you create mermaid diagrams directly in google docs. You use the same syntax and it generates a PNG that other users can view. If they have the extension, they can edit them as well.
One of the cool advantages I was pondering is its greatly reduced attack surface. Linux and Android apps can still come in, but they're always really sandboxed and insulated from the main OS, which is little more than browser+UI. So as secure as you can make the browser, that's your OS security. The most a user can do is install PWAs on it; they're not going to have a bunch of userspace native apps causing trouble.

Safari vends an in-app view controller used by lots of third party apps to display web content.

This is such a weird statement from someone in the tech space. Programming languages rarely have an opinion for how they are to be used (for example JS MUST only run the browser or which code style to use).

My current job, with 20 days PTO plus federal holidays is what I get per year.

If I get sick, it comes out of the 20 day pool. If I want a vacation, comes out of the 20 day pool.

And from what I understand, most European Union countries get unlimited sick leave, and 4-6 weeks of vacation both.

I also want to live and enjoy being with my SO, and doing fun stuff together. I do not live to work. I work because I have to because the threat of homelessness and destitution is the ever-present threat.

This has changed from early Soviet Union to late Soviet Union.

Early Soviet Union was much more radical and utopian, with ideas almost like in Plato's republic with the goal to getting to the point where the state rather than the parents would be raising children.

This was later abolished in the 30's and 40's and more traditional family values were encouraged.

I've been operating IPv6-only networks for enterprise and domestic use since late 2019, with DNS64/NAT64 on the gateway. Since 2021 some networks are behind Starlink CGNAT so I tunnel those networks over Wireguard to the gateway.

Like you I've detected a handful of applications that couldn't cope without local IPv4 - if they couldn't be patched they got dropped.

The issue I do hit - and report - from time to time is services that advertise both IPv6 and IPv4 addresses in DNS but do not respond to IPv6. Those are really annoying and even when I manage to get a response from the admins very rarely do they fix it either by accepting IPv6 connections or dropping the DNS AAAA record.

Another solution when emergency IPv4 is required (e.g. if the gateway has died!) is an IPv4 in IPv6 tunnel on the local network to the local IPv4-only gateway - think Starlink terminal.

This article made me put into a script the code I had for setting those tunnels up to make it easier, and avoid forgetting!

So good you brought Malloy here. I like it quite a bit because the folks really try to innovate (heck, they even have their own data querying syntax to replace SQL). But what I like even more — being part of the Cube team — that the "cons" of existing solutions that Carlin mentions in his blog are actually already solved by Cube.

With Cube, Data exploration, ideation on the data model, querying, and bringing the insights all the way down to BI tools or data apps takes minutes rather than hours or days. Done, case closed :-)
