> Most Reddit spin-offs of the past several years have been focused on minimizing moderation, which ends up attracting people who tend to get banned from other places before the site gets a chance to form its own identity and pick up steam.

Mastodon is a good example and counterexample of this trend. Gab was the biggest Mastodon instance, largely populated by the kinds of people pre-Musk Twitter banned or limited (and their followers.)

But the second (post-Musk) wave wasn't people who got banned, it was people leaving because they didn't like Musk and/or his changes to Twitter. And Reddit's own userbase came from Digg in much the same way.

Imagine if Mastodon had been easy to migrate to, Twitter would have collapsed like a popped balloon.

Reddit has a natural administrative/scalability partition boundary though, which makes federation much easier. I think a federated reddit would work better than Mastodon has.
I think this allocation of blame is unfair. I moved from a developing country - the plastic culture originated from the west

He didn't assign blame; you did.

All he did was observe the pretty commonly known fact that plastic pollution is out of control in the region. You're the one who started pointing fingers.
I don't find it better. You now have an intuitive scope about what you can, or cannot do in the Top Level Statements.

Would it be possible to add a graphics drawing interface similar to turtle?

I think you should support the following API

Circle(x,y,A) // A is area
Triangle(ax,by,ay,cx,cy,ay,bx) //Most Intuitive coordinate order

> British understatement gets me in trouble when communicating with americans. In the British to American dictionary, 'I would prefer not' becomes 'I wont'.

It seems quite a few of the Americans you speak to haven't read Melville's "Bartleby". You'll not find a more emphatic, "I would prefer not" in literature.
It's called a pantograph. There is a carbon strip on the top of the pantograph that is typically replaced every couple of months as it wears. The overhead wire isn't wire like you normally see, it's more like a thick copper bar that is unwound and has a flat surface on the bottom that the carbon strip runs on. The overhead does wear out over time, but is much longer lived than the carbon strips.

Sparking I think is when there might be damage to the overhead wire that temporarily interferes with current as the strip passes over, as you see sparks happening at the same place as trains pass

The data are interesting. But almost all of his conclusions and commentaries are pretty dubious.

No, that doesn't follow. There are certainly valid strategies in constantly beating people rated much worse.

> Not sure why you’d ask that given my anecdote

Sorry didn't mean to offend. I have prediabtes and dr told me that it could lower my immunity. That was his response when i asked him if there is anything i could do to stop getting sick.

> No one in my family is overweight or has any sort of health issues

same here. I am not obese or have any visible health issues but have high fasting glucose and prediabetes a1c. Even prediabetes can impair the immune system.

This doesn't contradict your anecdote though. Its totally possible that you and your friends are getting more sick now given increased exposure and high rates of prediabetes in the country ( 41% of men , 1/3 overall population)
Your site is too wide on the iPhone SE at least. My default text size is higher than default.

I don't understand your objection. I also run a business. I also pay people to do things for that business. The amount of money that eventually reaches my personal bank account does depend on the performance of the business and that in turn does depend on how much we pay people and how good a job they do for us.

So I care very much about whether they get those jobs done well. But I couldn't care less how much time they spend with their backside in a chair or how many messages they sent last week or whether they took a 1h30 lunch break yesterday because they went out shopping for a birthday present for their kid.

I default to trusting people working for us to be honest and do their job to an acceptable standard. I'm only interested in intervening if that isn't happening. In that case the kind of metrics under discussion here aren't going to help me figure out the real problem and how we can fix it. They aren't even likely to be worth much if as a last resort we do have to lose someone who can't get the job done properly and later we have to defend that decision in some kind of dispute proceeding.

This isn't to say we can't give feedback and provide training to help anyone working for us to perform better. But I don't see what relevance these kinds of metrics have to that either. I've always found talking with people openly about how things are going to be far more effective. YMMV.
Factories and Managers. Don't forget Decorators!
Corridor Digital (YouTube channel) recently produced a video using almost exclusively img2img stable diffusion to redraw scenes into a cartoon/anime style.

I wonder if something like Redream could have sped up the production process rather than batch img2img.
Me thinks we see different naive python on the regular. Because I wouldn't be shocked to see many flat out failures.

That said https://www.amazon.com/Exercises-Programming-Style-Cristina-... is a good sized book that is nothing but takes on this program from different styles. It is amusing how far you can take that.

Which... is kind of the point of the Knuth solution here. It was a pedagogical exercise. As much to show how literate programs can be presented as it was to "solve" the stated problem.

Edit: It occurs to me you could be referring to the pipeline version. Which, yeah, I don't think that really changes my post. :D. The final paragraph would be changed to the point of the Milroy's code is to get the answer, not to have a library function that is expected to be used again and again on input.

Pardon? Snowden showed huge amounts of NSA backdoors. It’s probably worth limiting the conversation to what they don’t have access to rather than trying to enumerate what they do have access to.
> seems like the exact same thing happened with ChatGPT/ AutoGPT/ GPT4, and this will keep happening.

A bit early to call it, by far.

Serious development around these capabilities have only just gotten off the ground.

It also doesn't seem like LLMs are done improving.
This is absolutely true, but when you talk about government-granted monopolies you can discuss things in their specifics. Confounding the possession of physical objects with any sort of government-issued imposition of rules on other people's behavior usually clouds this issue rather than illuminating it.

Ownership of objects usually consists of restrictions on other people taking those objects from you or damaging those objects. When you remove the objects from this idea, it just becomes a restriction on other people.

Good ol' non-stratified comparisons.
Haven't used the app recently so can't compare them. But there is the question of user vs developer incentives that even if not applicable today, will always be there. As another example, I hate how I cannot mute Stories in Instagram, and videos don't show a progress bar. But I have no legitimate third party app to help with this and as a consequence I limit my use of it.

For the API I think only someone with access to Reddit data can answer that. They likely have internal reports about why they chose this price point - that would be the starting point for any conversation I think. One example - if app users are highly motivated and produce a lot of content and engagement for the remaining (ad-viewing) users to interact with, then free might be the sensible price. But I have no idea if this is the case. Being able to design a pricing scheme is not really a prerequisite for being unhappy with things changing anyway, feedback is important.

The patient has switched to an electric toothbrush, but continues to absorb 3 fridges of food every day, almost 1.5x more since he started talking to the doctor.
"Property" is a natural concept since with physical objects you either have them or you don't. There may be many Teslas, but there is only one of your Tesla. On the other hand, digital content can be copied endlessly, without the original creator losing access to it.
The Age of the Marketer
AI tools = more content and more products. More content and more products = a less trusting society.

When we trust each other less, trust tends to concentrate around a few entities. The Tata Group in India is a great example of this.

To benefit from being one of the trusted few, companies will need to place more emphasis on brand. Building brands, fostering relationships and creating trust is something marketers have been doing for ages, whether it’s an enterprise salesperson or a community builder.

Going forward, I think people with this skillset will hold the upper hand, and as such, I believe we’re moving away from The Age of the Engineer, and into The Age of the Marketer.

Wdyt?
> The standard has no way to detect damaged cables

Of course it does. All it needs is to ask the other device what voltage is on the other side, calculate resistance off it and trip or drop to lower power mode if it deems that there is too much power lost in the cable. Still not perfectly safe as say 3W lost over whole cable is far less dangerous than this 3W loss focused solely on dodgy connection but still.

The first chapter of The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson is a harrowing fictional account of living through one of these. Can't recommend it enough if you're in the mood to add another existential risk to your list of concerns.
Yes. We need copyright... we need to rework it for digital stuff, however if you are an artist, writer, musician, programmer. You should have credit for the work you put out in some way no?
Sure but that's different than saying a creator gets no benefit from it.
Those are two interdependent things.

To reduce the debt, you not only have to balance the budget, you have to go further and put the budget into surplus.

Only two ways to go into surplus: reduce the expenditure or increase the incomings (taxes).

Debt is the killer. Even a piddling 1% increase in the interest rate means that the Government has to find another 320 BILLION DOLLARS EVERY YEAR to service that debt.

Let's face it. 32 Trillion (and still rising) debt is impossible to come back from. The US has nowhere to go but to eventual collapse, whether this year or next year is immaterial. It's all over, red rover.
in practice we don't have all that many devices pushing it that much that are not "a vendor charger connected to vendor power supply".

I expect there will be some surprises with cheap cables pretending they can handle full power.
That is an outright lie, and IMO the past three years have shown in many ways their approach was the right one.
>there is already demand for on premise LLM solutions.

There's also demand for on premise office suits and on premise internal company communication and private smartphones. Guess who controls these markets and how often it's on premise? Unfortunately, experience suggests users would drop privacy for convenience...

>Integrators

Here the requirements are far more complex than for the SD case. SD can run standalone, or as plugin. Its users are adapt, tend to have good GPUs, and there isn't that much relevant software - one can do a bespoke solution for each (a PS plugin is enough to keep many happy). For LLMs, either you supply a cloud API, or deal with a significant deployment burden nobody AFAIK has even started handling. Not to mention the licenses...

Current best hope for on-premise is that one of the OS makers decides to do the work and does it well enough we could trust it.
Reminds me of a drunkish conversation about software patents and copyright I had with my patent lawyer friend.

He said the legitimate reason for both is to protect the real investment that was made. The classic is an author. Historically might write a couple of dozen major works of which maybe three have any long term value. Or a patent on some physical thing. The real world is NP Hard. His point about software patents and copyright is software isn't hard enough to be afforded that sort of protection.

So I agree protection really aught to be based on how much effort + the reward structure.

If we're just talking about rent seeking well fuck that.

Yes, I was talking about the pipeline version. Last time this came up, I tried a simple perl script[1] and it was quite a lot faster than the pipeline. Even without using a heap to further limit the sorting.

Pure imagination is just throwing things at the wall and see if they stick well together. Hallucinations are a perfect example.

The tricky part is establishing a taste for things to throw so that they have an improved chance to become a useful hypothesis.

Humans don't forget anything, we just get rid of unused data and information so that there are fewer combinations that will be more relevant to the current situation. The unused chess openings are deleted eventually, at least, from the business end.

The other day I see a guy I went to school with 1000 years ago. The corner of my eye got just enough information to partially rebuild him on the conscious end. I'm sure I will be able to recall his first name if I think about it but the param is currently blank. I wasn't sure if I could remember his last name a sentence ago but now that I remembered his first name his second was apparently stored in the same archive.

What I never forgot about him was that he was a truly terrible student, one of the worse I've ever seen but he made up for it (only barely) by working insanely hard 24/7 without joking, I think if I made 3-10 minutes of effort he would need 6-7 hours to comprehend the same. I learn from him that ability means nothing, it is what you do with it.

If this automation is able to rejuvenate it self I'm sure it will blow our minds on whatever goal set for it.

On the other hand it is useful but rather lame to focus on the tasks it is bad at when it is already so good at many other things by our standards.

I learn this for a Chirper instructed to be a cat. It chirped: Humans think themselves so smart but can they catch a mouse with their bare hands?
yeah I thought the subject deserved more consideration on his part - I mean Popper's got a point. For him to just be like "oh that's obviously wrong moving right along" really doesn't deal with it seriously.

Because the real underlying question here, at least as far as I'm concerned, is - is Free Speech good to a fault? Like you can easily think of ways to use free speech to harass, and to hurt, and to threaten, to manipulate - the more clever you are about it, the less straightforward it is for others to identify it when you're doing it.

Is free speech really so important that abusers and trolls are given a free pass to continue their work, so long as they constrain it to the realm of speech?
probably. I often want to search about the memory capacity of society

I had a client who wanted to build his business on top of our business via scripting our administrative back end - basically he wanted to be a value added reseller. He'd get angry when we modified our admin console. We offered him API access for a fee, but any fee was too much for his business model. It was quite frustrating and eventually we had to ignore his pleas for UI stability over years of time. All the while he could have had access to the API for less than he was paying the person to script our admin console. This was circa 2007, so perhaps API programmers just weren't the thing back in the day.
Beyond the Turing Test
I think Dr. Jay B seemed reasonable and honest enough. For instance you can find him saying that he's not comfortable comparing it to the flu, since he suspects flu deaths may be greatly overcounted. He talks now (not sure about before) about deliveries and hotels as you say. Etc.

But yes, the loudest dissenters seemed to be contrarians, rather than people with a specific plan. They take a big mash of GBD, "lol it's not that bad, not everybody's going to get it", "lol everybody's going to get it so there's nothing we can do anyway", "we're not obligated to look out for other people anyway", etc etc with all the inherent contradictions. Any signal that went against "THE COVID NARRATIVE" they signal boosted.

Something like insecurity must have been driving this stuff. I think some of the counter-maintstream points were right, particularly about being sober about tradeoffs, but overall it was a total embarrassment. Granted the other side wasn't much better.
The world burns hotter and more apparent everyday to the younger generation, those of us that survive are going to be extremely cynical for the rest of our lives.

As the other commenters have said - yes. From the last paragraph of the link:

> One of the projects currently using Blink is Cosmopolitan Libc. Blink is more embeddable than qemu-x86_64 since Blink is 22x tinier in terms of binary footprint. So what Cosmo does is it vendors prebuilt Blink binaries inside each of the x86-64 executables it compiles. That way, whenever someone tries to run these programs on a different architecture like Arm, the Actually Portable Executable shell script wrapper will simple extract the appropriate blink binary and re-run itself.

Cosmopolitan LibC is truly “write once run anywhere” except instead of using JVM virtualization, it used x86_64 as the portable VM. Your users don’t need to install a VM or runtime, and you can ship a single exe that runs on all popular architectures and operating systems, including bare metal.

See https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/
The good news is that this type of car has been around since at least 1900 with the Lohner-Porsche Semper Vivus [1] which had a version with a motor to top up the battery.

Dialysis 3 days a week runs 71k per month. Depending on you Medicare supplement plan that can you between 200 and 20000 a month. Older people may have more money, but the medical industrial complex will try and extract as much as possible.

But say you end up with Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s and need to be placed in a facility. That will easily run you 13k a month.

The MIC can keep you alive a lot longer than you can afford to pay for it.

He reportedly was never in a relationship. This comes from unidentified members of the Ritchie family who set up a web site focussed mostly on his unpublished PhD thesis. The site includes some personal information on his life.

From https://dmrthesis.net/story-and-question/ (near the bottom)

"In his adult years Dennis had a reputation for being famously private.... There were topics that were completely off limits with Dennis – mostly having to do with any form of personal intimacy. This was true for his Bell Labs colleagues, who speak of Dennis’ personal life as a kind of private zone where they do not tread, and true with his siblings also. This was just his way.

"As an adult, Dennis lived an ascetic lifestyle. In September 1967, he moved back into the attic of his family home and set up a home office in the basement, where he lived with his parents until 1989. He worked from 1PM until 3AM six days a week, Sundays off for reading. He had no friends outside of his business colleagues, he rarely socialized, he did not have (nor never had) a relationship with anyone, he wouldn’t talk about/acknowledge discussion about emotional issues in any form. (He did have a wonderful family who loved him dearly and whom he loved dearly as well.) It was almost as if he needed to blot out any awareness of his personal life from the world by using the strategy of having no personal life to be observed.

"This affect wasn’t just something neutral, it could be an active force."
Yes 100%. You articulated my concerns exactly.
