Reddit is designed to propagate content to the front page that invokes indecency. Take, for instance, a video of someone jumping turnstiles at a subway station or a homeless person bathing themselves in free hand sanitizer solution. What kind of comments is a video like this going to solicit?

If you want to keep things decent and avoid nastiness, prohibit content that evokes a strong emotional response. This strong emotional response, unfortunately, is what keeps people coming back.

There really aren't complex math functions in most SIMD ISAs(1), these functions are implemented in software instead. Even for scalar operations, no one(2) uses the x87 trig functions either, as software implementations are both faster and more accurate and have been for a couple decades.

If you choose to disable features in your browser then they won't work. Is this surprising to you?
Maybe the scale is the problem. What if instead you built the infra and then snatched away the users of one of the less popular subreddits, then federated the code? You'd have the same problems as Mastodon and stuff, but that would allow the concept to scale (you just wouldn't become a millionaire). Leave giant subs like /r/funny and /r/pics alone and nibble around the edges?
The dark net growing alongside the regular web is very interesting albeit worrisome. What helps one side helps the other, and the thing that hurts one also hurts the other. That's the main reason I really don't want Google or anyone else to cripple the ad-blockers because they really help with a lot of the attack vectors.

Anyway, kind of feels like the eventual outcome of Capitalism. You have a lack of supply to meet the growing demands of the cyber-criminals and fellow entrepreneurs rising up to close that void. Given the amount of money involved, not likely to ever stop. Not trying to give them any ideas but I'm wondering if there will be (or already is) venture capitalists investing in them. They most likely already have a 'Hacker News' to keep up with all the latest developments.

According to the FBI, financial losses from cryptocurrency investment scams dwarfed losses for all other types of cybercrime in 2022, rising from $907 million in 2021 to $2.57 billion last year.

I'm not going to defend the content, but I am going to defend the format.

Is the blog post overly long? Or are we just accustomed to short-and-juicy articles aimed at the declining attention spans of the twitter era?

It's about 3700 words, which is about the length of a high school term paper. Substack lists it as a "17 minute read". Firefox says 21-24.

Reality has a lot of detail and for something that actually aims to get technical rather than just skimming the surface, it often takes several paragraphs to analyze different facets of a complex question.

In a different era, this article would have been considered an appropriate length for a magazine.
To me, Apple Vision vision's, so-called spacial computing, is exactly what I was always looking for in a portable computing device: beefy processor, pixeless experience, app and file navigation using natural eyes and hands movement.

> The feature will be flipped after release date is reached.

Don't ever use this. This is a "time bomb". This is a very bad idea. It's basically like scheduling a time for your app to go down when you aren't paying attention.

You have to have a human in the loop. The right way to "schedule a release" is to have a human flip the flag at the appropriate time (preferably, ramp it up to 100% of users gradually) and then stay online for a little while to do an emergency ramp down if/when things go bad (that weren't caught by some automated system in the ramp up).
I agree with you, not sure why they included that use case in the demo. It would have been better done if the dad recorded the 3d video with iPhone depth sensors (possible?) and replayed it later in VR.

I really like my Quest 2. But these devices are for when you are alone. I work alone and would love to use something that expands my workspace and provides a comfortable environment to concentrate in. Quest 2 can't really get there. And occasionally I find people to talk to in VR which is enjoyable. But when the family is home it makes 0 sense. I cannot imagine us all sitting in an empty room with goggles on, watching the same thing.

I've been in situations like this where the cost of killing active queries was lower than the cost of pausing traffic (and having it potentially back up or time out) for the extra time it would take for those queries to finish.

Just because you can wait for them to finish, doesn't mean it's better to when you look at the cutover as a whole.

They are made to fail fast, it's obviously by design. One simple thing I do in all my led light bulbs, that makes them last for an almost indefinite amount of time: remove the plastic bulb. One of the main reasons for one of the leds or one of the capacitors to fail, is the high temperatures reached during the operation of the device. Removing the bulb makes it a lot cooler, and in the last few years since I've been removing the bulbs, no led light has failed in my house. There's other things you can do, but this is the main one any consumer can do to fight back against this scourge of modern capitalism. I recommend Big Clive's Youtube channel for getting more tips like this one.
Right — that’s certainly surprising & intriguing. So they discuss this in section 4, and offer a theoretical argument why the rate of convergence might be independent of the (large) number of parameters. I haven’t grokked that yet, but maybe one could think of this as a consequence of the shape of the landscape (cost function) in the overparametrized regime.

I enjoyed your comments on this thread, thanks for sharing your perspective.
patio11 has been calling out crypto fraud for a long time. You’re not noticing anything; you’re extrapolating incorrectly.
Something can be both "more expensive because it's better" and "overpriced" at the same time. Those two are not mutually exclusive.
Optical illusions are not at all the same thing as visual hallucinations.

Your allegation about UFO reports is accordingly simply incorrect.
> Did I send money to Russians? If not, and you still wish to ban me from using crypto, it’s the redistribution of consequences

Wrong. Your willingness to accept stolen goods from Russia and DPRK is what makes them valuable. Making it illegal for you to buy them is not redistribution of consequences. Allowing people who have had their property stolen the ability to get their property back from other parties in the same jurisdiction is also not redistribution of consequences.

> Your original comment only said Russians using something is enough justification to ban it,

Your problem is not that you don't understand what moving goalposts means but that you don't understand plain English sentences. Status quo allows Russians to steal from the rest of the world. I never once said we should ban cryptocurrencies (which is as impossible as banning them from using secure messaging), only to regulate them to prevent Russians from deriving value from stolen goods.

> Did I send money to Russians? If not, and you still wish to ban me from using crypto

Once again, where did I say I want to ban you from using crypto? I merely want them regulated as much as any other money transfer services. PayPal could allow transfer to Russia and DPRK without recourse for lower cost than cryptocurrencies, but they do not because they are regulated.

> You also conveniently ignored the point I made about constructing a scenario where your new goalposts are satisfied and just reposing the question.

You are unable to construct a scenario where my original goalposts are satisfied, so you imagine a world where you could. You're simply imagining a world where you win the argument without actually presenting the arguments to win it.

> Yes, the military and courts have to be paid with theft, but you believe in those things too

So you understand that your policies are unworkable. Once you admit that it is reasonable for people in societies to band together and collect taxes to spend on the public good, it's just a question of how much and for how much public benefit. Feel free to move to Somalia if you find this concept disgusting.

I would argue that the ancient man living in the woods is absolutely right about cities—a person in a concrete jungle is dangerously isolated from reality. We know the negative effects of too little sunlight, we know the positive effects of exposure to nature. We know the negative environmental effects of the infrastructure that makes the concrete jungle possible, but those effects are invisible to the resident of the jungle.

Also, it's pretty clear that cities are too large for our social apparatus. The ancient man living in a tribe has a deeper personal connection with his fellow villagers than anything we develop in a city, much less in the worldwide city we call the internet.

Given all that, I think it's reasonable to take a backwards-looking approach to this. Evolution happens on the time scale of millennia, and our biology has had only had a few hundred years to adjust to the modern city. Rushing headlong along the same path into full, always-connected VR is hazardous.
> Hopefully our future has an open source AI

Well, open source needs to be built by users for that to be a successful future. Right now, the bulk of 'open source' is "open core" - where the vast majority of development is driven by corporations.

I'm a big supporter of open source, but let's face reality - software is increasingly complex and hobbyists need to put food on the table. There's little room in between these days.

It's not abusive to call a "squeaky wheel" "noisy" when that's what it is.

> I dig his vision of huge, persistent infospaces

This is immediately where I went as well. Been hoping for something like this since the first few iterations of VR tech. I can imagine that will become one of the 'killer apps' of this platform. Unfortunately, he also said it might take some iterations on their windowing system.
Most obvious would be the phase of the moon.
I currently pay for a few things:

Proton Mail - Solid email service. I'm not hardcore about privacy but I do like their ethics.

Spotify - Love having instant access to any music, though I wish their app was a bit more intuitive.

Two Twitch subscriptions - Both of the streamers are friends, but I do enjoy their content a lot and like supporting them.

Laracasts - I'm a new to Laravel/PHP and this website has been awesome for high quality tutorials.

Cheapest tier of iCloud for photos - I have other ways to backup photos but the convenience of iCloud is very nice.
Regulated finance is already in hot water for the simple fact of using encrypted personal appsnfor communication, even if that communication isn't hinting at crimes.

Traditional finance already knows what not to put in writing at all. Some crypto bro amateurs just gave their compliance training people a ton of funny quotes to work with.
Everyone involved with awful decisions, yes.
Alternatively the 3 chosen tools to ship metrics and logs (CAdvisor, promtail, node-exporter) could be replaced with an all-in-one tool such as Vector or Telegraf.
If you wanted to slim it down further, Netdata accomplishes what those 3 tools and Prometheus can do in a really nice UI.

If the poster hosted those services in a single node k3s or something, the kube-prometheus-stack helm chart is able to deploy a lot of those tools easily.
In my experience, they don't do this. I'm a very regular person, in that I buy the same things for long stretches until I get tired of them, so I know what the long term prices of things are. I always stock up on bogos at Publix, since they have always been true bogos. I've never seen them inflate the price just to bogo it. In fact, I don't recall Publix ever playing price shenanigans. They are one of the most honest companies I know of when it comes to being fair to the consumer.
It's simple, in part, because it only operates on registers and immediate values, so there's no chance of it taking a page fault. That makes it easy to pipeline, and, compared to having to save a lot of ALU state after a fault, the operation this opcode performs is, indeed, fairly simple.
I've grown three sisters gardens for quite a few years with great results since discovering it in a book while researching native growing methods & the Eastern Agricultural Complex. I've found the two most important things are selection of seed strains appropriate for your area/zone & spacing between the mounds.

Except sea levels did "rise up" as you say, faster than expected actually. This article is about the ice shelf, i.e. the ice over the sea - not the ice over land. People expected the shelf to break and go to sea, and from there currents would take it to warmer water. Turns out the shelf is able to extend further than was thought possible.

First, your tone comes across as unnecessarily uncivil. Your comments could be rephrased to better promote curious discussion.

Second, I will respond in terms of the charitable substance of your comment. I think there is some useful back-and-forth to be had.

Please be specific: part is “complete nonsense” to you; which of the following applies?

1. You reject the predictive processing theory? Why?

2. You reject my characterization of the theory?

3. You reject my application of the theory to the example of seeing UFOs? For the reason you gave? Is there more?

4. What research have you done to support your knowledge and claims?

5. Have you read “Hallucinations and Strong Priors” in Trends in Cognitive Science [1]? I referenced it in nearby comment as well.

Penultimate point: correctly or incorrectly, I am using facts and reasoning in my above comment; I don’t see how this qualifies as “hallucination” in terms of an AI or human phenomenon.

Final point: there is considerable nuance and skill required to criticize effectively. In asking questions 1 through 3, I’m offering an example of a better way.
