I want to say “go back in time and start a PhD program 7 years ago” in that in a PhD program, no matter what the subject, you learn to solve problems on your own.

Because it is such a new thing I don’t think there is any curriculum available, what you really can do is “learning through doing” and also reading papers both to get some idea of what people are doing (I like the papers where run of the mill researchers solve run of the mill problems because that gives me an idea of what to expect with my run of the mill problem) and also to pick out results to try to replicate.

My best advice right now is that it is important to scale down to something that lets you do a lot of experiments. For instance I have a classifier that takes about 30 seconds to train and I can rapidly iterate on it because I can run it 1000s of times a day. I have another that takes 30 minutes and I am loathe to put effort into it because it so easily becomes a tarpit. Thus start with something that gets meaningful results in a minimal time, get really comfortable with it, then scale it up deliberately until it is large enough. Feel free to send me an email if you want to talk more.
> The court looked at the wife's toll records, showing she comes home from work real late, and that would impact the quality of life for kids. Boy, I bet she never thought she'd lose her kids by using a toll tag.

Do you have a source for that? Google wasn't being helpful.
It was ridiculously easy to game the Slashdot moderation system. You knew what topics would get upvoted -- positive about Linux, negative about something like SCO during the lawsuit period. It was not difficult to accumulate karma.
Sure, in an ideal world OpenAI would solve that problem instead.

It's pretty clear at this point that solving that is really astonishingly difficult - so I'm suggesting a UI band-aid.

We used to call it Web4, in fact.

Jack Dorsey was the reason we went back and renamed everything to Web5. I was always thinking how 2 + 3 = 4, but then Dorsey went full 5 and we wanted to make sure when people google "Web5" they find us. Our soft goal is to have Intercoin rank higher than Bluesky for "Web5".

> relying on centralized entities which clearly is a problem
>More or less of a problem than out and out scams?

Probably more. The societal impact and problems from centralized social networks are documented in many places, including the Social Dilemma documentary, the breakdown of society, record levels of sadness in teenagers, having social network addiction be classified as a disease in many countries including China and now USA, states like Utah trying to protect children from it, and much more more.

I have been documenting just the loneliness part here for a decade:

I guess you like having public forums being privately owned by tiny groups of people, but the world needs open, decentralized alternatives. Sorry if HN doesn't think so anymore, but they should embrace the "hacker ethos" instead of stockholm syndrome shilling for the corporate VC world.
The original paper that is referred to in this is https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.06833
All of these proposed alternatives are centrally owned either by a private company or state central bank, and only work in and between specific countries.

Crypto lies in stark contrast as a shared and open source protocol across the globe, that is not as easily centrally owned. Whether that is worth the pains of self custody, throughput and volatility is going to depend on who you ask.

Nope.

The only mess here is the snake oil.

There's no freedom. There are no big goals.

It's a scam, end to end.

It can not be anything else. It never was and for the foreseeable future it will not be anything else because as long as there are transaction fees it's a negative sum game. (And no, cash, stocks and golds are each not such.)

Everything else is just talk trying to cover this. The very nature of a negative sum game requires you to talk up the game. Talking of freedom, big goals etc. that's just required by any scam of this sort.

All AI is biased in one way or another, which is bad for a system which (ideally) prioritizes fair outcomes.
>>Dr. Sasha Luccioni, a machine-learning research scientist at Hugging Face, likens the new CAIS letter to sleight of hand: "First of all, mentioning the hypothetical existential risk of AI in the same breath as very tangible risks like pandemics and climate change, which are very fresh and visceral for the public, gives it more credibility," she says. "It's also misdirection, attracting public attention to one thing (future risks) so they don't think of another (tangible current risks like bias, legal issues and consent)."<<

Whilst it's certainly a valid point that different technologies don't have exactly the same adoption curves, we're not talking about decades of behind closed doors innovation to make microcomputers people would want to use packet switching technology to share stuff on, we're talking about adoption curve of the most-hyped thing since the "information superhighway" of the 1990s, something which involves stadium sponsorship deals, Sand Hill Road and more electricity consumption than most countries. And generally the "it's like the early days of the web" stuff is coming from pro-crypto people, usually those who are pretty keen on stressing that their portfolio is not an experiment as doomed to obsolescence as a 1960s comms network (and that POS and faster transaction throughput on different blockchains isn't "better"). The issues the present crypto industry suffer from for the most part aren't scaling or lack of technology, they're philosophical.

> If on the other hand we are in scenario 1, where there is a long history of people falling prey to apocalypticism, then that means any new doomsday claims are also more likely to be a result of apocalypticism.

If you're blindly evaluating the likelihood of any random claim without context, sure.

But like the boy who cried wolf, there is a potential scenario where the likelihood that it's not true has no bearing on what actually happens.

Arguably, claims about doomsday made now by highly educated people are more interesting than claims made 100/1000/10000 years ago. Over time, the growing collective knowledge of humanity increases and with it, the plausibility of those claims because of our increasing ability to accurately predict outcomes based on our models of the world.

e.g. after the introduction of nuclear weapons, a claim about the potentially apocalyptic impact of war is far more plausible than it would have been prior.

Similarly, we can now estimate the risk of passing comets/asteroids, and if we identify one that's on a collision course, we know that our technology makes it worth taking that risk more seriously than someone making a prediction in an era before we could possible know such things.

Is there anyone on the compiler team that also plays a role in llvm development and optimizations? Or is there anyone on the llvm core team that cares about optimizations that would directly benefit Swift? If there's no one available that either can or is willing to optimize llvm, this feels like a worst case scenario. I'm curious what steps need to be taken to see actual compiler performance gains as it relates to llvm.
I tried applying to my local rotary club online in 2019. Basically just a web form expressing interest. I got an automated email saying someone would reach out in the next 30 days. I was met with complete radio silence. Never heard anything back at all.

I was a Rotary exchange student 20 years ago which completely changed the trajectory of my life (for the better), and was excited to help the next generation with becoming an exchange student. I was also involved with RYLA as a teen.

>> "All the music genres froze in place and that was that."

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but it sounds like you're saying music hasn't evolved any since the late 1990s. There is an incredible blending of rap, breakbeats, punk, metal, and rock happening as we speak. And that's just the last few years. Places like Bandcamp, Mixcloud, and Beatport are rich with new kinds of music and new takes on the past. Even Soundcloud is still holding on in its bot takeover era.

1996 was the year before MP3.com. Napster two years later.
A talking dog is very impressive when it first appears. When suddenly talking dogs are everywhere, drown out the people I want to talk to, then they are annoying.

Moreover, it's not at all strange that people learned what generative AI looks. When I see it in "in the wild", it instantly in my mind becomes "generated thing". And exactly because the images are created by a process of averaging, once I'm used to them, they have a "nothing special or interesting here" feeling, which isn't a good feeling for many thing, for example accompanying illustrations.
The nice thing about pickleball is that it's often drop in play, so you can show up whenever is convenient for you and play with random people. This is indeed a light social interaction, but the people who regular eventually get to know each other. Where I live there is a strong pickleball community.

I've been exploring buck2 for work a lot recently. We're considering switching to either it or Bazel.

It'll be an incredibly risky decision to go with buck2 today, but it's so darn zippy in comparison to Bazel it's hard to not at least give it a real try.

My impression so far has been it's pretty robust in it's core, but anything that FB doesn't use is in a mediocre state. It's yet to be seen how willing they'll be to take PRs that are explicitly for community usage.

I was feeling very lonely working remote. We moved to a Memphis TN to be closer to family and I was struggling with feeling like an outsider. I grew up playing sports and tried CrossFit but hated paying so much for a gym. F3 workouts are free and I thought I was going for the fitness aspect, but the fellowship is what really stuck. Guys hung out after workouts and it was great to meet so many guys from so many different walks of life.

Cool startup! I did some work for a client in the trucking space a while back, and I came away with a new appreciation for what a fascinating vertical it is.

If you don't mind me asking, how'd you end up in the space? It feels like the vertical has so much esoteric/specific knowledge. We ran into a few companies that were founded by truckers (or by people who had truckers in the family), and it seemed like already having all this knowledge gave them a big leg up.
Great questions!

Basically I was working on a link shortener. However in addition to a link shortener that took you to another page, I wanted users to be able to create a mini website that could host apps. Like you could create a small page that had photos of your business and a menu/ordering app and an "IM with staff" app etc.

The fancy generator was kind of an added bonus, I always thought the QR codes I'd see around were so dull and unidentifiable! There was very little in traditional QR codes themselves to make them "human-scannable", so to speak. A QR codes is essentially a sign; it should have some information in it that you, a person, can parse. A little logo in the middle is weak at best.

It failed because I didn't sell it. I needed to sell it. I needed to talk to people. I needed to like cold call people, restaurant owners without websites. Annnnd I always came up with an excuse not to.

As far as next plans, I'm working on something else these days

You have three options:

1) Create an team to internally sell it

2) Make it an ultimatum, and fire people if they don’t agree

3) Hope your marketing is good enough that you get grassroots adoption

Option 1 is a waste of money - your best sales folks should be making money, not doing internal processes.
Option 2 is terrible for moral and retention.
Option 3 is ineffective.

Not a dumb question. I think calling any hooks server component safe is going to mislead and add confusion to a lot of developers for this very new tech. Hooks are not allowed in server components. This library is SSR safe which has been a concern since before server components were ever a thing.

> It would be really nice if adding a masked email automatically created a "sending identity."

It does.

Just click "... Show all" when choosing a sender, and that will expand the list/search to include masked emails. It should also show you the domain/service it was set up for. And as you noted, the masked email will automatically be used as the sender when replying to an email that was sent to it as well.

Using 1Password makes it super easy to see which masked email was used for each service, so I can't really relate to your frustrations there either.

I think it's a pretty polished experience, and definitely beats everything else I've used in the past.

Religions are very different. Imagine Islam vs. Buddhism for example. The GP point is a valid one: fellowship alongside a shared set of core beliefs is invaluable. The problem is not all shared beliefs have equal merit.

I could be a white supremacist and find great fellowship with other white supremacists but this would be destructive in the long run, in the short term to others due to my prejudice but in the longer term to myself because those beliefs are objectively abhorrent. But not all shared belief systems are abhorrent.

Instead, groups of people for centuries have found camaraderie exploring what it means to follow a certain historical figure, Jesus Christ. Looking at his teachings you can see that this will lead to vastly different outcomes than following a Joseph Smith, a Muhammad, a Richard Dawkins, etc.
From my observation, the ratio of American Engineers coming to Europe vs Europeans Engineers coming to America is at least 1:10, if not more.

> Japan and Korea are ramping up their nuclear power

Almost.

Before the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake Japan had 54 nuclear reactors with 30% of Japan’s electricity output. Of that only 33 reactors are currently possibly operable and of those only 10 are actually currently online.

The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake was the most devastating event in the nuclear history: a single event caused the shutdown of all 50+ reactors of a country, with much of the nuclear electricity production capacity lost for a decade - and longer.

While the country is spending billions to keep the wrecks under control.

From my reading, trading money into a bankruptcy pot in exchange for personal liability protection didn't seem that unusual and is apparently commonplace nowadays.

Whether it should be or not... probably not. But then we'd need much tougher laws to compel compliance with personal judgements as a consequence of bankruptcy proceedings (e.g. revoking citizenship, foreign country cooperation, etc).

If we removed the possibility for liability protection as part of a deal, shareholders would have less incentive to cooperate financially, and so there'd need to be a bigger enforcement stick to balance the equation.
