As a very young child, I remember there were paper drives...

Newspaper drives. Like, you let your newspapers that are printed on real wood pulp pile up, then the Boy Scouts come and pick that pile up. But two things:

1. Who the hell still gets a physical newspaper anymore? (Yes, we all know you do, Captain Pedantic.)

2. Were I a physical paper subscriber, I would toss it in the recycling bin (a dearth of which were why we had "paper drives" back in the day) when I'm done.

Bottles were recycled, yes, and Federal law requires that every time the topic comes up that we all be reminded that glass bottles weigh a fuckton, and the extra fossil fuels required to tote them around might make it a net loss on environment-saving. Though I'll admit I've not seen solid numbers (as in, perhaps a real study) one way or the other.

Which is kinda funny as my wife hates it and wants to move because gardening here is really hard-to-impossible, but she doesn't want to give up our great neighborhood, so we're at an impasse.
A concern that's been in the back of mind for a while is, what if plastic isn't as long lasting as we think? To put another way, what is the carbon footprint of microorganisms evolving to eat it? Are we looking at another carbon bomb?
Seems to me like the pathogen is just adapting to have a new transport mechanism? Rather than it decomposing or making use of microplastics.

Rather than attaching to seaweed, it can also stick to microplastics and (hopefully) be ingested by marine wildlife. At least as I read the articles.
Me too! Damn clickbait.
I think it makes sense to say that all of the music genres that were on the radio in the 90's are pretty much the same genres today. Radio country music in particular has been remarkably stagnant. The names of the artists change, but with a few notable exceptions (Old Town Road front and center), the styling is remarkably unchanged.

There are certainly newer and more innovative country stylings, but radio and Nashville catering to radio hold a very strong, very conservative center.
I'm not really interested in doing a research project on the signatories to investigate your claim, and talking about things like this without specifics seems dubiously useful, so I don't really think there's anything more to discuss.

Some of the academics who signed are either not doing AI research e.g climatologists, genomics, philosophy. Or they have Google connections that aren't disclosed. E.g. Peter Norvig is listed as Stanford University but ran Google Research for many years, McIlrath is associated with the Vector Institute which is funded by Google.
I think community is the main reason (EDIT: I meant to say ONE OF THE main reasonS) people go to church, not for the magical guy-in-the-sky stuff.

Someone here in my small beach city started a "Secular Society" which is a bit of a reaction to how religious this area is. The concept is that we don't have to be religious to get together and hang out. Only a couple meetings so far, but it's been fun!
> In four years these people will all be using AI or they will be out of jobs. Period.

There's a great reason to be scared of this. With enough automation, you won't have a job. Without jobs, there can't be an economy. And therefore it's game over for society as a whole.

The very wealthy certainly use it (the most famous case being OJ Simpson) but even if you're not 1% wealthy, but have assets, you should at least consider it. Especially if you're looking to move anyway, it could be a factor.

Assuming the API is free, and you have unlimited time, sure. But if the API costs money for each generation, turd-free or full of turds, then at some point the cost of calling the API over and over and throwing away the turds starts to approach the cost -- both in time and money -- of just paying an artist to do it right in one iteration.

Exactly, this is the same as saying Redux has two methodologies, the "setter system" and the "event system"; since it wasn't that well documented initially doesn't mean that the setter way was ever recommended (it's not). In fact if you watched the Flux youtube talk, something highly recommended to learn the philosophy behind Redux, it was pretty clear.

I understand the source is available. I’m saying I would enjoy seeing the source on the website as I browse it. Much easier to search up on Google that way.
Honestly, the language and the community are mostly great. There's a few outliers that aggressively want to draw attention to themselves (which is inherently narcissistic).

That's not something that's unique to Rust in particular, every community has those. Rust's is still relatively small given it's only had a big uptick of users Recently. It'll settle eventually; it always does.

Also, I don't tend to interact or pay much attention to the bad apples in the community. So, I guess I'm just not that bothered by them. Ignoring them is the worst thing you can do to narcissists and idiots; it makes them go away to leech elsewhere.

Whether it's Rust or Crab I am not particularly bothered; the technical side of the language are a boon in themselves.
I agree that "WASM as a generic target platform" is the best way for WASM to gain popularity and actually get used.

However, that would make it end up as "Java but different". That's not a bad thing, there's absolutely nothing wrong with Java as a technological concept!
> Podcasting started with a mix of radio drama and some really incredible radio journalism—a lost art.

Wasn't the first popular show the Ricky Gervais show? Which -- and I say this as someone who has listened to both the podcast and radio for years on end & on repeat -- is the most pointless drivel there is?
I think we're comparing apples (heh) and oranges a bit here. iPhone cameras are essentially the same thing as digital camera and now anyone can use them. Maybe amateurs are messing up their lighting or exposure or composition or whatever, but they are doing the same thing a professional photographer once did. It's also pretty difficult to tell professional photography from amateur stuff.

AI isn't drawing like a human artist does. It's a completely distinct process from someone putting marks on a page. The caveats, or turds as the author of the original article put them, are pretty difficult to fix without having actual training and skills in art, and acquiring those skills is a lot harder than learning to take photos.

> less lag

When I last tried Wayland it felt considerably more "laggy" to me, and I'm the kind of person who typically doesn't overly care about this sort of thing. That was in June 2020 (I can conveniently date this due to a patch I sent) so it's been a while, but that – together with the effort I need to spend on reconfiguring and rewriting tools – was the main reason I gave up on WayLand. Maybe it's better now, or maybe it's better if you have a fancy video card instead of a slow built-in GPU.
I think the alternative assumption would require some more evidence. The notion they are correct is default (until they are overruled by SCOTUS).
Thanks for clarifying, although I guess I'm still unclear why this isn't considered a "factual claim":

> 1. Amazon doesn't allow sellers to price their products for less off-Amazon.
> 2. If they do, Amazon hides their products.
> 3. This keeps prices off-Amazon high, which is bad for consumers.

This is being stated as a fact, not an opinion. He isn't saying, "I believe this is bad for consumers", he is claiming that Amazon is doing something that is bad for consumers.

I also see the title has now changed to "subpoenaed" which would seem more accurate. I'm happy to assume Amazon is doing this in bad faith. What I wasn't happy to assume was the dubious claims being made in the Twitter thread about how Amazon's policies were bad for the consumer.
Volunteer public service organizations.

Some years ago I was looking for an activity to get into that met the following needs:

* Helps others
* Physically active
* Outdoors / in nature
* Requires specialized skills
* Gives back to the community

I was entertaining things like the local trail building groups when an article about our local Search and Rescue team mentioned they were having a recruiting meeting the next week. I applied and was accepted.

It's a highly rewarding activity - literally saving peoples lives at times - with a high-calibre of like-minded people from an incredibly diverse array of backgrounds.

I've recently moved away though and in my new area, I've joined the volunteer fire department which has a lot of the same features and benefits.
Sigh, I'm getting very sick of hearing about how "ChatGPT" makes stuff up. Yes, 3.5 made a lot of stuff up, 4.0 still does, but it's much rarer.

I wish people would mention this, it's all treated as the same thing. It's like talking about how unreliable these "Airplanes" are when they are talking about prop planes, even though jets are out.
This gets countered by running one (or more) of those same amazing autonomous agents locally for your own defense. Everyone's machine is about to get much more intelligent.

I expect sect/denomination has an influence here because my experiences in the past were strictly familial, no one made friends there though there are familiar faces. Once service is over, it was Sunday brunch with family.

At any rate, potential friendship is a weak rationalization for joining a religion when there are many avenues to do this.
> It's not too hard when you hear ridiculous stories and treat them as if they were to happen today.

Maybe it hinges on which parts of the stories you imagining happening today.

E.g., if Jesus rose from the dead next week, I'd find it pretty thought-provoking. If he were merely crucified but stayed dead, I'd cross Christianity of my list of plausible world views.

I.e., a lot really depends on whether or not those miraculous events actually happened.
yeah I was looking at the bushes in the plant pots and thinking "are these the turds?" until I found out that the author is just being extremely picky. I do like to imagine a future dominated by AI where we get weird emergent patterns like the AI just secretly including turds everywhere it can though
I don't know if we're at the tipping point yet, but when I read reports like this I feel like it's getting pretty damn close.
Once you get the money, then you want the power. I suppose you’re right in that respect. He’s chooses to keep working because he’s dedicated to the scam.

None of the people in crypto are trying to make the world a better place. The harm done outweighs the benefits by such a ridiculous ratio it’s really not worth it to even trying to compute. I mean, that's what Molly White is trying to do here but it's just not necessary. We all know. Doubly so for the advocates.
Think people didn’t get the link turd to polished turd in this blogpost. Is what you get when you ask a beginner artist without any guidance to create something, and instead of making something that has the right competition, perspective, proportions, colors and values etc, they tend to over render the image. Making it look “pretty”, the issue that it tries to compensate shitty foundations with glitters and sparkles, widgets, shadows and highlights.

Ultimately it often doesn’t have the right impact.

Ai art falls in the same category for me. Polished turds, bad writers, bad ideas, bad concepts, boring subjects.

I’m hoping it mostly inspires a generation to make cool shit and enjoy it. If you take a skilled artist to use ai art, the results are good, if you take beginners and give it tools you get polished ai art turds. Things that looks cool but ultimately missing the foundation to make it work.

At the same time, perhaps it doesn’t matter, and people want to have polished turds regardless.

Compare this to a game like unpacking, carefully crafted rooms and smart storytelling. Or vampire survivor, addictive gameplay loop with assets that almost seem like they come straight out of some gamemaker pack. In the end, it’s all about intend, and no amount of polish is going to fix
That is a hilarious pun.
Someone made a good point on a recent episode on the NYT's Hard Fork podcast. They were discussing how the social media scare is similar to the moral panic in the 90s and early 2000s over video games. And millions of kids played all those violent games relentlessly and we didn't collapse as a society.

However, one of the hosts pointed out a big difference today that wasn't the case back then. Those of us who played things like Mortal Kombat or GTA rolled our eyes at the supposed dangers. But with social media, lots of young people will openly state that they think it is harmful for their mental health. They will remove it from their devices and swear it off and many end up going back to it. So there is something obviously different now.
Role-Playing Game conventions. Absolutely astounding how much community I’ve found there. Headed to North Texas RPG Con this weekend, in fact. It’s amazing what using your imagination around a table with a bunch of fellow geeks can do for your feeling of belonging in the universe.
History is not being re-written, you just don't know the difference between opinion articles and actual scientific papers, and you additionally have no understanding of the relevant science. It's not that AGW hasn't been controversial, it's that you have no idea what that controversy was or when it happened. The theory was flat-out disproved in the first half of the 20th Century, and it only slowly regained credibility[0]. By the late 60s the consensus had broadly shifted in favor of CO2-mediated climate change, which is recognized by one of the documents linked in the "economonitor" article[1].

What you believe is untrue. It also seems to be motivated reasoning, so I will limit my engagement, but it's worth clarifying to others that your perspective is meritless.

My argument is mostly, that if you don't have enough of an audience to remain open, and there is generally enough of an audience in the area of the restaurant, than it's upon you, not the (potential) customers to adapt.
I'm not the person you're replying to, but we did this in an LA suburb.

Among other things that have resulted from it:

One of our neighbors invites everyone over for 4th of July every year. We have a block party where we block off the street once or twice per year. Neighbors have been over for backyard parties, my wife goes to birthday lunches with the wives on the street, and there's a giant text thread where people ask for help/etc for things.

During the first year of covid, we did a special neighborhood Halloween, where everyone on the block put out bags of candy for neighborhood kids to go house to house and pick up.
Gardening should be possible in the southwest, but you may have to utilize greenhouses or whatever the opposite of one is. Much of the "desert" will bloom if you pour enough water on it (and drip irrigation does wonders).

But you can't do a "midwest" style garden.
In fact it is not so funny, chronic hyperventilation or "under-ventilation" caused by concentration or by worrying causes a fight-or-flight state of mind and can lead to depression. My point being, don't write these articles off as snake oil too easily... Techniques like boxed breathing when you notice something is off, help a lot of people to mitigate imbalances in oxygen levels.

If you have to be part of the "secret backchannel" to know what's really going on, maybe that's the fundamental problem, no?

"Inclusiveness" is messy, annoying, irritating ... I can go on and on.

But Rust chose that. This was an explicit goal. With a Code of Conduct that attempts to enforce that.

What did people expect was going to happen when you have a "secret insider cabal" that, though their actions, is clearly in direct conflict with that explicit goal?
There's no ignoring how the pictures can look externally. For example, I never imagined myself wearing a rucksack for fitness. In my experience though, the community is filled with men from all walks of life, political views, etc. I suppose like any group, its local membership is what most defines your experience. I've personally met lots of guys that I would have never met at church, work, etc because I worked out with them at F3.
Socializing with "in groups" like Indians getting to know Indians is not what I was referring to in my original comment.

I was talking about socializing outside of "in groups" which is what I found challenging.
Hooks are complicated, but state/props is just right. Both enables you to enforce boundary and make contained components. If props and state are mixed / diluted, the component won't know when to do re-render and there'll be too many things to track, and there'll be many classic issues such as cyclic dependency and sluggish performance of two-way data binding.

Hopefully you'll click on it someday
I have a theory that alien civilizations don't even bother with long distance radio comms. It's far more efficient (and stealthy) to load up probes with hyper-dense storage and launch them at .99c than to be firing petawatt radio lasers all the time and hoping your recipient was able to listen in when it arrived.
I assume this only applies to citizens?
Again since these are almost the top cream of all ai researchers there is a global conspiracy to scare the public right?

Has it occurred to you what happens if you are wrong, like 10% chance you are wrong? Well it's written in the declaration.
Even worse: Some of them happily accept such addresses, but some time later, silently drop messages to you while claiming that they were sent.

> slightly more advanced LLM

I don't think there is a path, that we know if, from GPT4 to a LLM that could take it upon itself to execute complex plans, etc. Current LLM tech 'fizzles out' exponentially in the size of the prompt, and I don't think we have a way out of that. We could speculate though...

Basically AI risk proponents make a bunch of assumptions about how powerful next-level AI could be, but in reality we have no clue what this next-level AI is.

I think it should be that rights from the US Constitution should apply to:

- anyone inside the USA borders/waters

- and any citizens of the USA no matter where they currently are (obviously only affecting the actions of US Government, government of Thailand of course wouldn't be bound by US Constitution).

But the Supreme Court disagrees with me on parts of that. So I think the answer to your question is "whatever the Supreme Court says."

Hi,

Thanks again for your report.

I've filed a bug with the responsible product team based on your report. The product team will evaluate your report and decide if a fix is required. We'll let you know if the issue was fixed.

Regarding our Vulnerability Reward Program: At first glance, it seems this issue is not severe enough to qualify for a reward. However, the VRP panel will take a closer look at the issue at their next meeting. We'll update you once we've come to a decision.

If you don't hear back from us in 2-3 weeks or have additional information, let us know!

Regards,
Google Security Team
I've had the same experience with the BJJ community. Very positive and welcoming, and an incredible sport for training the mind as well as the body.

Some people get turned off by the behavior of certain fans of UFC but in my experience the groups of people who are starting fights in pubs and people who are actually showing up to intense physical training on a regular basis are mutually exclusive.
Undo actions are not necessarily about mitigating failure, but just getting to another state in the state machine. Not all failed forward steps are bugs nor always need a retry before an undo.

Regardless of whatever happens, a failed transaction state should always be possible without affecting data integrity.
To do that you first need to distrust AI, and a lot of people don't. They think of GPT like Google-but-written-in-English. That is a large part of the problem.

That sentence didn't end how I expected it to. Personally - coming from a similar (jQuery -> Knockout > Backbone > Ember > Angular 1 > React > Svelte) background - I feel React has gone the same route as the others - rose quicky, dominated, and will never go away, but no longer has any influence. The same will happen to Svelte in future.
