Ah, so you interpreted my statement about "supermoderators (who are mods in hundreds of subs)" to be saying that they are mods of hundreds of the top hundred subs?

Not sure how relevant that list is tbh...

I'm also perplexed as to what criteria is used for "top sub" given that r/ContagiousLaughter (which has 6.7 million subs) and isn't on the list while r/EldenRing (which only has 1.9m) is.

Anyway, are you satisfied that I was not just parroting talking points and had checked myself?
Wow. TIL that the Xbox One controller doesn’t have motion controls. I thought that was just standard these days. Even the PS3 had them.

> How does it encourage public access? The artist is dead for 70 years when it becomes public domain

How could an author afford to write if selling a single copy of their work gives the buyer the ability to legally copy the work and distribute it for free or for a lower price? Why would a publisher, say O'Reilly Media, pay an author to write a technical book if anyone could just drive the price of the book down to zero (or to the cost of distribution)? I pay $500/yr for 'Reilly Online because I get more than $500/yr worth of value from it, but if someone took all that content and distributed it as conveniently at a much lower price, I would probably stay with O'Reilly for a while, but as the price rose, the rate of new content decreased, and the reliability of the interactive services fell, I'd probably give up and switch to the content-thief platform until the content was too stale.

Considering that the NeXTStep OS ran on a 1120 × 832, 12 bit, display in 1990 with 12 MB of archaic memory and 1.5 MB of VRAM, I'd say more then a year. Judging by modern app memory usage.

Even with the latest and greatest 4k, HDR, wide colour, display, no app should ideally use more then 256 MB of memory by those standards, unless it's even more complex.

Are you talking about no copyright for DERIVATIVE works or no copyright on actual works themselves?

- No copyright on derivative works mean I can finally make my 'fan fiction' Top Gun movie.
- No copyright on actual works themselves, mean's I can be streaming Top Gun for free to the world. (only bandwidth/server costs)

Strictly needed. Suppose I have a dark theme slider, or a language selector, for users who don't want me to follow their OS's settings (or can't or don't know how to change their OS's settings). That's a nonessential cookie which requires the banner.

Yeah, I think a good step would be to integrate a rich CRDT into sqlite, whether that's through CTEs, a custom extension, or library code that manages the tables.

Layering a CRDT on top of an existing schema might not be very efficient though. You'd likely need to modify the db's internals. I have no evidence for this statement though :)

AI is making everything fake
I mean, this is a very different version of "being eaten by generative AI" than what it sounded like you meant. This sounds much more like "Adobe will lose their moat and be outcompeted by other art programs (because generative AI is becoming ubiquitous)".

There are a lot of people out there saying things like "soon there won't be any more programmers/artists/writers because we'll be able to get generative AI to do all that stuff" (with, often, an implication of "screw those lazy/hippie art kids" from those talking about the latter two). This is very much what it sounded like you were saying.

You can give GPT-4 some data and ask it to make a hypothesis to explain it, give it tools to test the hypothesis, and have it try to establish causation. You can literally do that now quite easily with ChatGPT abilities like plugins and it will prove the premise of the article false.

An interesting contrast can be drawn between this article and a criticism like Yann Lecun's. In that his actually has substance. https://youtu.be/DokLw1tILlw Although he is also wrong about the capabilities of LLMs.

Certainly LLMs are not the end of AI research. They have various types of deficiencies and some missing capabilities that humans have. And are not alive.

But GPT-4 can definitely complete scientific experiments.

I'm just glad people are starting to realize this is a reality. If you look at all the projections, right now, most people still think everything's gonna keep going up in that exponential growth curve.

As for economic growth. The point is to increase material living standards but this isn't the case anymore. We've already peaked, as of 20 years ago in the US. If you take GDP per capita and divide it by any reasonable measure of inflation such as the case shiller housing index, you'll find that our ability to shelter people has decreased for nearly 25 years now and arguably even longer than that. 200 years ago, Henry david thoreaugh was saying people had mortgages of 10 to 15 years which he felt was an extremely long time. Now, it's quite common to have them be 30 years!
I've never thought UUIDv1 was useful in any virtualized context, and I hope it should be obvious, but maybe it's worth stating in the UUID generation docs. It is already explained somewhat well what the versions are in Python docs.

However, with all the things already supporting UUID, I also don't see any reason to switch from UUIDv4 to anything else. I don't see how UUID, in general is obsolete, with the support it has from different libraries, and databases.
The commercial work of many (most? all?) commercial artists is fundamentally a product, not different from any other item where distribution in a market or consumption is concerned. These art products are often sponsored by organizations who collect revenue from sales and in turn provide distribution or promotion, so they have a reasonable argument that they should continue benefiting from the work if the artist dies. This sounds heartless and I am not generally a supporter of "art is product" (I find it exhausting, to be honest) but it's unavoidable for professional artists.

On a human scale, this might just be the artist's family who supported the artist during life (think: a partner whose full-time job provided funding and health benefits while the other sweated it out in a studio) who relied on their income during life. Or the foundation might collect royalties to pay the staff who assisted with the work (essentially co-creating it) per contracts established at the time of its creation.
I’ve thought about satisfaction and mood tracking (I am sure these are linked) but haven’t built anything that i really use other than my memory.

The embedding system uses a probability-calibrated SVM. My average AUC is 0.77, I hear TikTok gets in the low 80’s and they are using collaborative filtering. I got 0.72 with a bag-of-words and logistic regression model.

From a product standpoint it’s got the disadvantage that it takes about 1000 judgements to really get good, right now I am training over the last 40 days of data because it doesn’t really get better with more than that which is good news because the compute and storage are nicely bounded.

The island of Flores is east of Wallace's line. Homo may have been doing this since before we were Homo spaiens. And Australia is east of Lydekker's line.

This is a non-uncommon mistake. People, such as the author, seem to think that the UUID is a hex string containing dashes, since that is the format that they most frequently see them represented.

You are correct that a UUID is a 128 bit identifier, and so, fits in 128 bits.
The database argument is also specific to certain databases and table types. It should only matter for clustered tables. So if e.g. I use Postgres, this doesn't matter as it doesn't have clustered tables.

> Many people do not get it, they are always like "you can learn langs after your first within a month" or so

In my experience: half a year minimum, and only after your 10th. The amount of uninteresting trivia that you need to wade through on your way to concepts you already know is vast, much greater than you'd remember from 10 years back when you learned your previous language. More then 10 languages I already know do help, in that I can easily pick up any language in a matter of days, but... that's only if we're talking about the language[1]. Developing a skill in using that language, including absorbing the specific culture (books read, talks given, whose blogs to read, which Discord/Slack/#freenode to visit, and so on) and learning the details of the ecosystem (from stdlib to common libraries to frameworks, to the details of implementation, the FFI, and so on) and it's a lot of things to learn.

Well, at least I know that my next language will be a lot easier to learn, thanks to a revolution in the rubber duck industry, which gave us a duck that can - sometimes convincingly - pretend to understand what we're saying. And sometimes even gives you a hint that turns out to be real! Oh, the progress...

[1] As long as there's no genuinely innovative features in that language. Which, sadly, seems to be the case 95% of the time.
At this point, they would be fools not to stash in a filing cabinet somewhere a plan for a WDW equivalent somewhere in one of several less hostile US states.

It wouldn’t be the same, with all of WDW’s history, direct involvement of Walt and Roy Disney, weird systems (underground garbage vacuum service, etc). But America has a lot of unoccupied land, and most states would be happy to give Disney significant leeway in exchange for long-term guaranteed taxes, jobs, and tourism.

One thing is certain: the next FL governor after DeSantis will have a gigantic mess to clean up.
Fair, I didn't mean to dismiss the impact of tokenization as such.

But tokenization is still a process that's figured by another DL model. Human "insight" doesn't produce tokenization as it does. Another model trained on [insert language(s)] text figures out how best to break sentences into token parts.

That said, these things are a spectrum. I don't think, "no tips from biology whatsoever" or "no constraints at all" is really what Sutton had in mind. The less of it the better is the general idea.
There is nothing in there about retroactively applying laws. If there is anything, it may be that the laws were(/are) unclear.

The Irish DPC states they never approved anything (but there has been discussions between various European data protection authorities and the EDPB during the investigation). See for example 2.44 or 2.46 of the report [1]:

> It is factually not the case that the Commission endorsed or approved of the Terms of Service and Data Policy of Facebook or indeed of any other organisation

and

> To the extent that Facebook seeks to rely on or has ever relied on any consultative process with the Commission in order to defend the lawfulness of a particular practice, this has been in error. More pertinently, for present purposes, Facebook makes no such argument in the context of this Complaint. This is because the Commission never provided any such approval in this case nor does it do so in the context of its engagement and consultation role more generally

If you look at the final decision on Meta, you'll see that most of the fine (80+70=150 million) is for the fact that Meta was not clear on what they were doing with user's data. Only the last 60 million is about the actual legal ground of the processing. So the past that Ben Thompson mentions essentially skips 70% of the fines.

And yes, the data protection authorities are acting like a fair player and they are not the referee. We have courts for that (and this will find it's way through the courts, no worries).

Dumping a bunch of includes at the top and saying the equivalent of "don't worry about this boring stuff for now; you can skip it if you want" (and thereby compromising the entire LP experiment) is a matter of taste in the way that putting beef in a vegan casserole is.
Interesting speculation but I don’t think GPT-4 chooses any model, I’m pretty sure it’s just how good that one model is. I played with a lot of local models but the reality is, even with wizard vicuna, were at least an order of magnitude away from the size of GPT-4.

What is principles can be extracted from this saying:

>Is the ability to think scientifically the defining essence of intelligence? ; Physicist Carl Sagan once wrote that "science is more than a body of knowledge; it is a way of thinking." This type of thinking requires skeptical rigor and brutal honesty to thoroughly investigate,...
I think the key to brutal honesty is the ability to deliver and accept brutal honesty between peers and rivals. This is the skill you f'ing idiots seem to be losing, because it hinders hearing the autistic perspectives which are quite useful in science. I dropped the completely meaningless f-bomb not to insult anybody but to test your ability to read the sentence without the most basic of intensifiers, what I like to call the f-italics. https://www.mit.edu/~jcb/tact.html

ASSISTANT
1. The importance of scientific thinking: The saying emphasizes the value of adopting a scientific mindset in understanding and problem-solving.

2. Balance of skepticism and openness: A scientific thinker should be rigorous and skeptical in their analysis but also open to new insights, even when these challenge previously held opinions.

3. Brutal honesty: To engage in a productive scientific discourse, it is essential to be brutally honest, both in terms of providing feedback to others and in accepting any criticism directed at one's own work or ideas.

4. Valuing diversity of perspectives: It is important to consider and respect diverse viewpoints in a scientific discussion, including those that deviate from the norm or that challenge mainstream thinking.

5. Emotional resilience: To thrive in a rigorous and honest intellectual environment, one must develop the ability to remain focused on the message and not be derailed by strong language or perceived slights.

6. Effective communication: Being able to deliver honest feedback or critique in a way that is both clear and constructive is a vital skill, even if it involves using syntactic intensifiers, like the f-bomb, to emphasize a point.
