I didn't say the left are the real racists. Racism comes in many shapes and forms, some more obvious than others. (FWIW, I grew up one town away from an infamous "sundown town", where people didn't feel the need to use dog whistles, innuendo, or even bother justifying facially racist ideas and behaviors. I've seen what that sort of racism looks like, watched it morph, and haven't lost track of its whereabouts.) Contemporary criticisms by the left have many salient and important things to say. Separating the constructive criticisms from the intrinsic infirmities isn't easy, however. (Some people, like Tucker Carlson, are better at it than others, and use their skill to loathsome ends.) But one way to start is to identify the problematic threads which their proposed solutions actually share with the harmful dynamics they claim to address.

The left ultimately embraced identity politics because identities can be empowering, culturally and of course politically. But identities are fundamentally and necessarily reductive, from which derives both its empowering capacity, but also derives the ability to readily label people and easily attach presumptions about how certain groups of people behave or should be treated, and to do so systematically and comprehensively. Such labels may seem positive one day, but can easily--perhaps even invariably--evolve into negative stereotypes as culture shifts. Moreover, identities invite one group to project their beliefs about themselves onto other groups, so they can be just as if not more empowering to entrenched powers as they are to the disenfranchised.

Thus, for example, the classic example of the Noble Savage, where Europeans projected their own criticisms about their rapidly changing, industrializing societies onto native peoples in what at face value was often a positive light (and often sincerely intended by some as positive), but which nonetheless furthered deeply harmful stereotypes and presumptions about the cultural, political, and moral capacity of those groups and individuals. The parallels between Noble Savage narratives and today are crystal clear, IMO. It's how you get leftist defenses of "colored people's time" and similar stereotypes (e.g. as in the infamous Smithsonian Poster[1]) as testifying to a true and inherent trait of some racial groups; it can be understood as a positive trait by upper middle class professionals who bemoan the stressful demands of their occupations and wish for a more "relaxed" culture, but that positively bent characterization is fleeting, and its fundamentally controlled by the professional class and subject to their whims, not the disenfranchised to whom it may be intended to defend.

If they're no longer valuable, why is it annoying and audacious that these websites are asking for payment? Is it an insult to make such a presumption from the viewpoint of the authors?

If words are worthless now, I imagine that reading my comment is equally worthless as reading the article, so therefore it should be no skin off your back/not anything to be annoyed by.
> It requires deep understanding of the code (i.e. what it does, why it is doing it that way and the implied effect of executing the code on the architecture) and also of the architecture (i.e. how it is executing and why that causes leakage to be observable via the side-channel).

For exploitation, or for patching, maybe. But characterizing these bugs is still clear and simple IMO. I mean, rowhammer is about as basic as a bug can get - the value of this bit in memory changed even though it was never written to.
> I wasn't responding to show catfishing occurring, and I was responding on the subject of a non-human adult content creator making money by entertaining humans.

Sorry about the harsh response. Your link was on topic and it was indeed an example of non-human adult content creator making money by entertaining humans, albeit only in text form not images, and its popularity was dependent on marketing on the back of a real persona. There's still no documented case of John Nobody making a Jane Done AI with chatbot + generated images, and rising to any level of popularity. But the case in your link was definitely a step in that direction and I wasn't giving any credit for it in my previous response.
Well the expected value of E[log2(rand())] is not the same as E[log(rand())] and therein lies the difference. See my sibling comment.

Like I said, you can check this in a python terminal.
I'd say it's only loosely based on Foundation the book, and parts of the new plot made no sense. Also it was way too woke and moralistic for my taste.
Yup. Good point.

> or other clues that may hint your age.

So do not reveal you have 20 years experience and graduated in the previous century?
Yeah, I think I know the reasons, or at least some of them.

That particular idea might be a little bit more subversive but why does an employer need to care? Immigrant or natural born citizen, they should have some sort of tax paying relationship with the US federal government.

The southern boarder is being used mostly just for politics right now, but if we wanted to curb illegal immigration I think a big part of it would be some sort of "you're here now" stamp, some sort of criminal penalties for hiring undocumented non-residents, maybe mandatory tax withholding for everybody and then some sort of "you're allowed to work here" token from the feds.
It's far worse. There is no difference between a high end lobbying entity and a full blow intelligence agency.
If the lobby wants something, they also do things such as genuinely help person X on dossier Y for free in order to covertly influence the personnel of person Z that they otherwise can't reach.( Without anyone knowing, and targeting anyone they deem worth it. )
Ethics is a trend.

It's whatever is trendy to say or think at the moment. A set of arbitrary unenforceable rules to shame practices that is decided by whoever convinced other ethicist to grant him a PhD.

Of course, all that is done without going through the rigor of making these practices illegal. That would have a real impact. And require real work.

> The section on automation seems deeply confused

It makes no sense at all. The author claims to be technical but honestly it reads as something someone who never programmed anything would write. Just knowing the "jargon" and trying to sound like they are more knowledgeable than they are. I noticed "Ethics of X" is generally a great field for those who can't cut it in field X. See the "Ethics of AI crowd as an example", that seems to be mostly made of "tech adjacent" folks.
Probably the best example here [0].

> make a developer ethically liable for anything anyone does with their code

That's plain nonsense.

Can I give some feedback on your jobs page?

There's so little information about the roles that I'd never personally bother applying. I don't want to go through the process of writing a cover letter when I don't even know what languages you work in or what skillsets you're looking for.
Have you checked out Silo yet?
I can corroborate this method and perspective on why it might work. With a backstory similar to yours but earlier in the journey to transformation / success, I’ve found that locking in “wins” and completing the cycle of intent to follow-through turned out to be much more valuable and helpful than I ever imagined when I was slogging through the long era of seeking change but preemptively dismissing all visible paths.

Thanks for sharing and thanks for putting possible future obstacles / challenges on my radar!
Yes, exactly. I just turned 66, and have a technical lead role at an autonomous vehicle company. The technologies and languages that I use on a daily basis did not exist when I was an undergrad. Keeping up is essential if you want to remain technical. (I have done 3 or 4 stints as a manager, but always managed to reach escape velocity. The worst day on the bench is better than the best day driving a spreadsheet.) Why am I often the one trying to sell the 20-somethings on trying out the latest language features? Not all luddites are 40+.
If words have no value then why read anything?
I hope the RTO push fails to cause maximum collateral damage in that case.

Unfortunately, we are about 10 lines into that, and the election of 1 president and 1 key turn from the rest.

To emphasize this, if Facebook knows who practically everyone is in the US (indirectly or directly), then sure as fucking hell the government does. All it takes is one guy that wants to do the McCarthy "unAmerican" bullshit and has enough to do it and the US Government will know EXACTLY who to target.
Yeah, then you get a bunch of non-cheating students who are intelligent and just annoyed with the text editor will use cheating tools to insert their essay they wrote in a proper word processor - further poisoning the dataset.
If they were allowed to fail then they might not take the big risks that they deserve big rewards for taking! And then what would be left to trickle down to everyone else?
I was considering the same question this year. I've been doing mine with freefilefillableforms (basically just an online version of paper) for several years and have gradually been getting better at it.

Here's my breakdown of what took the most time/stress (I didn't use a stopwatch, so it's heavily impacted by how it felt):

2% creating a spreadsheet that did the simple arithmetic to add up sums for investment boxes and that did the final tax calculation

90% spent trying to understand/fix one stupid mistake with an HSA account that was very confusing in the tax code. I am nearly certain that TurboTax wouldn't have helped.

5% reviewing all our other accounts, saving copies of the statements, and inserting relevant values into a spreadsheet

3% copying and reviewing my copying of other numbers, including the long stupid EIN numbers from W-2s that I miscopied and caused the IRS to automatically reject my return

... and here are my conclusions:

* The thing I personally would most love but don't believe is easily possible is a way to avoid all the mistakes copying and to simplify some of the data collection and staring at 1099s from different accounts that arrange the boxes slightly differently, but I can see why this hasn't really been automated in an open source way. While some sort of image processing or by trying to scope out APIs with the financial institutions might help, it's hard to envision an open source project that would do this.

* I actually value tax time as a time to review accounts and finances. So even if the data collection stress was reduced, I would still want to have a good feel for the numbers.

* The most serious problems I seem to run into never feel like software problems. I have had problems like the HSA issue in the past with turbotax and the "helpful" UI can only do so much to answer tough questions.

* Last year I filled out the Qualified Dividends worksheet by hand, the spreadsheet is a million times better though. It's basically the same thing as those online calculators, but I wanted to be able to see what calculations it was doing and review it and also not put my tax info online.

* Overall, what I'm most inspired to do would be to share the spreadsheet or a similarly scoped program and document/continue to refine my process for entering and collecting data. Working towards an end-to-end solution feels to me like a loser, at least to start off. Modular seems like the way to go. Solve one problem at a time. There is already an https://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/. Haven't tried it out yet, but I feel like it isn't what I'm looking for.

Lawyers have an actual defined code of ethics that they have to follow or they loser their license, defined by people whose job it is to make rules. Even theirs isn't this draconian. I'm pretty sure I don't want to be bound by somebody else's code of ethics and I know I don't want to be bound by this guy's.
who actually thinks internet communications need to be policed? did phone calls need to be policed in the payphone days?

no actually, explain h0w that works

i dont know a single person these days who thinks that the police need to monitor chat and shit online, yet the police keep adding more and more of this around the world. is it just like in software where one autist is given power over a project and masturbates adding new features to it every day at the cost of anyone who needs to verify the code, because he has nothing else to do? like in governments do legislators just hire some kid with no idea what hes doing out of school and he just creates shit law for the rest of his life and thats the sole way this shit works?
I actually kinda liked it.

The issue is the cost of getting to work, and even to live near work.

Just getting to work is a significant expense, parking, having a vehicle that's good enough to commute in, insured for commuting, and always repaired before the next weekday, it adds up.

When the pandemic kicked off WFH, I suddenly found myself with an extra $10,000 or so in my pocket each year.

Then I moved away from work, which allowed me to go from renter to homeowner (with rental income that helped me get approved). My monthly COL is lower, and between paying my mortgage and home appreciation, I've accumulated $300,000-$400,000 in equity over 4 years.

Back in town, I'd still be a renter hopelessly saving up for an apartment with maybe 10-20% of my current net worth.

tldr: My office was actually pretty nice, but not having to physically live near or get to it, has put me in a dramatically higher socio-economic class.
Companies think that a hybrid model is some kind of fair compromise, or perhaps the best of both worlds.

Hybrid means you'll commute to work to arrive in an half-empty office. In this office are people sitting in calls all day.

You cannot have good old fashioned face-to-face meetings in a hybrid model. Because part of the crew will be remote on any given day.

Likewise, you cannot catch up on a project at the coffee corner, because the remote folks won't see that. You need to put all of that in writing, just like you do when everyone is remote.

The work-related stuff does not change back to the old ways when you go hybrid, it will remain in remote mode.

What hybrid does offer is in-person socialization. Breaks, lunch walks, etc.
As computer scientist, I have no issue finding a job. I can work in automation field, as teacher (elementary school, high school), as security engineer, infrastructure, devops, banking, accounting, etc.. I'm sure, maybe some point of time I won't be writing code as I do today, but without job, no way

Worse are those that just finished a "full dev stack bootcamp" and now are trying to find a job as software developers.
And what do you mean by "(sparkle emoji) Writing (sparkle emoji)"?
Yeah my mobile network is less than 99% reliable. But there are other factors such as battery dying or just dropping the phone.

I mean, that's why a mobile phone is being used, no? Because otherwise, a Raspberry Pi would suffice and would be cheaper and more reliable.

Nice. I guess I don’t expect willow to cover the speaker element. I’d rather connect with my existing hifi / Bluetooth speakers.

But with google I’m stuck with their integration to Spotify. It’s that component I’d like control over, and that’s why I’d use willow.

That and not being spied on in my own home.

Definitely keen for one.
Teachers need to ask students to write things that are hard for AI to cheat on: if a bunch of humans end up writing very similar essays to the prompt - that's a prompt problem!

>I’d also like to tangent to say: music used to be a much bigger part of our lives. Before the radio a piano was a household staple. Kids would learn, family’s would play and sing to each other. We’ve largely given that up.

Music fandom used to be a bigger part of lives after that. Pop/rock stars were royalty. Now with all the other stuff competing for eyeballs it's just another thing. Aside from a much smaller music-obsessed demographic, most teens could not care less today.
Good advice - no matter what you play, whether you produce electronically or acoustically, singing will help you internalize music, ready to be transferred to any sound-making object.
It sounds like you just want a faster response, not a batched one, given that you don't use the batched one for the same reason we prefer the streaming one?

Just imagine it's a human on the other side typing or speaking, and you're getting to hear / see what they type as they type it.

It is, in fact, extremely strange for humans to have the experience of sitting waiting for a complete utterance before processing: it feels more like sending a letter than talking.

There were even chat systems that worked like this, including (I think?) the Unix talk command and one of the popular ICQ-era chat apps (maybe it was ICQ itself?).
They need some time (or space) to fix this typo.

Interestingly that's not necessarily the case in the public cloud. I'm messing around with AWS storage for an upcoming talk. You definitely can saturate storage on AWS, and it's sometimes hard to tell why.
This was my house growing up. All my siblings, including myself, learned music and instruments we picked out. It helped that my mother had a degree in music, but still. At 40 I find myself singing out loud without music often.
I did not lay claim to epistemic truth. I referenced epistemology. That is, there are a plurality of epistemologies, all of which have their own epistemic truth mechanics.

So I would agree with you, entirely!

I was merely pointing out that statistical correlation alone affords no epistemological basis.
I would expect that it must: the OS cannot assume that the newly connected drive wasn't altered by another system in the meantime. (Or that it's the same FS, even.)

(although I grant that, a.) the FS probably has a UUID that idents it, and b.) it's only gone for a few ms — but those aren't things that, reasonably, the OS is going to look at to go "eh, we don't need to recover this newly attached disk".)

The usage example doesn't seem to follow the definition.
This feels overly pessimistic to me. Since you mentioned pianos, they are big, unwieldy, expensive, and require maintenance. They were a household staple if none of that was an issue for you. There are cheaper and more convenient paths now, and tons of content online to learn from. If you want to play music, there's never been a better time.
I think people understand this in general, it but they are understandably worried and upset because those jobs put food on the table and roofs over our heads. And in the current economy we’re pretty heavily incentivized to over-specialize, so your job vanishing is a pretty big problem.

What I find interesting, since AI models cant actually reason, only figure out what the next following word. It will commonly give incorrect answers. But you can break questions down into low level steps, and it will actually be correct(ish).

When I ask questions, I have to break it down into multiple steps, and I get pretty good results.
you could do that with the existing 3d firmware, put a marker where your hotend goes and don't change the z-axis.
I'm more impressed with the quality of the output produced by [0] using just 4 cameras, making the setup in question seem a bit overkill, see supplementary material for the videos produced [1]. Plus, the new MPEG standard, which is based on [0], allows for real-time depth sensing and streaming through atlasses, making the process even more efficient. Check out [2] for a great example of a video view synthesized using only 4 input views.

I'm really interested in testing out the lenticular screen mentioned in the original post, but it seems it requires headtracking, making it less versatile. While the new MPEG displays with the new codecs can render a true multiview image on a holographic screen without glasses and with vertical and horizontal parallax. Check out the software for more information [3]!

It really depends on what you use it for.

I've found Claude better than GPT4 and even Claude+ at creative writing.

It also tends to give more comprehensive explanations without additional prompting. So I prefer to have it, rather than GPT3.5 or 4, explain things to me.

It's also free, which is another big win over GPT4.

Right, so there will be PCIe slots for expansion, they just won't support PCIe GPU, just like Thunderbolt PCIe expansion chassis for Thunderbolt now. It isn't the PCIe slots that break compatibility, its the difference in architecture between x86 and Apple Silicon that makes them incompatible.

My partner is an editor too and ChatGPT is a force multiplier for her. Read in an AI-transcripted interview, paste into ChatGPT with the instructions to word it as an article, and then rewrite it checking for accuracy.

I think AI chatbots will do much like what, say, engineering modeling tools have done for engineering: do 80% of the grunt work for you, and only require human supervision.

It's ultimately a good thing for writing, because writing will be less expensive to produce. The downside is probably SEO spam, but it is what it is.
