Absolutely true. In fact this was the 1980s republican plan. Lee Atwater has a great hot mic moment about this.

You start out in 1954 by saying, “Ni*er, ni*er, ni*er.” By 1968 you can’t say “ni*er”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Ni*er, ni*er.”

And you also have New York City and the racist/classist bridges. Bridges were built too low for public transit to get out to Long Island. It did a VERY effective job at keeping black people and poor people away from the middle class and higher areas.

" In one of the book's most memorable passages, Caro reveals that Moses ordered his engineers to build the bridges low over the parkway to keep buses from the city away from Jones Beach—buses presumably filled with the poor blacks and Puerto Ricans Moses despised. The story was told to Caro by Sidney M. Shapiro, a close Moses associate and former chief engineer and general manager of the Long Island State Park Commission."

Who would have thought that building a bridge could be racist and classist?

The one argument I can see for modern speakers is materials: theoretically we can have better materials science-- better foams and rubbers for the gaskets and such, better insulating batting.

However, it is frustrating that I can't get modern speakers anything like my parents' three-ways with a 12 or 15 inch woofer without finding some esoteric offering.
Something with intention to make you money and directly related to powerful machine, i.e. writing code, editing videos, images, etc. As opposed to casual use where you plan simple games, browse internet, etc.

I don't care either way. I have the same opinion as Yann.
People with low neuroticism and high fluid intelligence do well in the professional world.

High crystallized intelligence (memorization, knowledge transfer) gets you through the door but won't make you a leader.
Sure, but you should be intentional about the books you want a paper copy of. "I will read this again regularly", "I want to page through this for reference often", "I want to display my love for this book" are all good reasons to own a physical copy. But if you have 1,500 books, how many fall into that category? Maybe a hundred?
Hahahahah. Nature. Integrity. Fuck me.
I’ve recently had an issue where GCP keeps shutting down my e2.micro because they think I’m crypto mining. I have no idea what I’m doing to trigger it, and I don’t blame them for not sharing their secret anti fraud heuristics, but it’s a freakin e2.micro. They think I’m mining on that?!
this is a really interesting point, thanks for pointing to it. Flarium to me competes with discourse in many ways, vs say, Reddit.

one of the biggest challenges to this model (IMO) has been that there is no "subreddit" or "stack exchange" model for discovery, or for communities to build their own "spaces".

my post comes at this from the perspective of - what would it take to create a decentralized "reddit", complete with subreddits etc. your comment makes me realize that I can do better in addressing this point! ty!
The core concepts are generally very straightforward, however it's always the optimization that adds complexity. That's how you get the orders of magnitude improvement. This C89 core definitely doesn't do macro op fusion for instance.
I don't think they are doing intentionally, they just were being lackadaisical. Chipotle is always make or break based on the meat portion. If it's too small, the rice and other filling dominates and it's not that good

To people who can't afford to drive, this just sounds like relatively wealthy people whining about being reduced to living like they have been the entire time.

If you want to reduce the relative privileges of wealthy people, tax them and redistribute or do a socialist revolution. Never crusade for the privileges of people with some money while ignoring the situation of the people with less money. In the limit, you'll end up crusading for the privileges of billionaires against the privileges of multi-billionaires. As activism, imo it's silly.

What exactly do people think it means when Mercedes says they will “take liability”? Decisions about whether to prosecute a driver when something bad happens are local and state level decisions. Mercedes can’t protect you when a local prosecutor decides to say “yeah level 3, whatever, you were behind the wheel.”
Why would that be strange? One was born in 42, one in 44. Old age is a killer.
This also works with some Hitler quotes, what's your point?
maybe better rephrased: I don't often see an overlap between those who see AI as a realistic existential threat and climate change as a realistic existential threat.

The modern man is the best man that has ever been. Ted was just a nutcase.
Describing the NYC subway as "working great" is an amazing twisting of the truth. The only thing good about it is that it isn't as bad as public transport in Long Island. Otherwise, good luck going anywhere on time without having to add 30 minutes - an hour of waste just standing around.

The discomfort and cost of public transportation would be at least somewhat tolerable if there was anywhere near as much of an emphasis on timeliness as there is in, say, Japan. As it stands though, the public transport is the one thing I miss least and hate most about the city.
I've watched those, the recommender algo he claims is simple. Whoever achieves the longest continuous views wins so you introduce every video with very brief 'here is what you are watching' then do that video you just described. What you don't do is long intros, music intros or not tell people what's going on.
The thumbnail helps but not as much in the past, it should just be something interesting and unique to the video encouraging viewers to click.

Like everything you should make it a story. Here is the build up and hook, here is the wow moment or climax. A basic programming video can be this.

That's all you have to do assuming it is well edited/audio. Edit: once he started having success he paid for translations because French/Spanish is also a huge YouTube userbase

> but the most recent FSD update seems to have mostly fixed that.

I have read this comment before.
Even considering its heavy limitations, the Mercedes system is miles better than the Tesla, because it is actually useful. You can actually turn on the system and do your email, or take a nap. Yes, the 40 mph limitation on highways seems to make it useless, but many highways get congested to the point where you are not going over 40 mph anyways, and those are the times when it is most frustrating to drive.

And regarding the FSD, most youtube videos I have seen run into human intervention within 20 minutes or so. Going 60 minutes without human intervention is certainly possible if you get a bit lucky but that does not mean you should take your eyes off the road for a second. FSD still has to be constantly supervised, which makes it of very limited utility. At this stage it is still a fun experiment at most.
That is straight garbage.
Once Again: Do not use Google for anything. Given they treat the consumer side of their business like cattle (Gmail, maps, etc) (,and despite the fact that an email address is an essential part of one's daily life: access to banking, investments, communication, cell phone, employment opportunities), they operate with absolutely zero support.

What makes you think they'll treat your small business any differently? You will be thrown under the bus the second you make them lift a finger to help you.
how is this fundamentally different than what humans do?
1) Agreed. Here's are 2 alternatives. Make it so cheap that it doesn't matter. Distribute the hosting.

2) Gotta quibble. I've seen (on reddit) plenty of top-down moderated cesspools. And several totally hand-off utopias too. I think the trick is 1) a subject matter that touches no nerves 2) a high enough bar for entry/respect that excludes the average riffraff.

Also we need a way to punch people in the face over the internet. Best I can think of is everybody gets a permanent dossier, publicly shared, that records all your good and bad deeds (and your judgment of good and bad too, for weighting). This makes assholish behavior muchbmore detrimental to a happy online social life.
If we're complaining about the costs of negative externalities, are we also considering the value of the positive externalities?
Agree, Kaczynski did make some good points. Maybe if he had learned to channel that energy better.
The curse of scalable technology
The same can be said for Cal/Stanford students. (An alum from both) I’ve met some really smart people and some really mediocre people out of these schools. Same is probably true for IITs and IIMs. Testing well shouldn’t be taken as a proxy for being a genius, but at the same time, concluding that all of them are average, is a bit of a stretch.

That being said, we had students transfer over from UC Davis to Cal, and I think comparing your wife to a UC Davis graduate, is not as big of a put down as you think. Most UC Davis grads would perform almost the same as an average UC Berkeley grad if they had the same opportunity.
HL7 (up to V2) was designed after EDIFACT; similarities with ANSI M (if at all) are coincidence.
The case for decentralization of online forums
Again...that was not the failure. Actually there are two failures:

- First one, to stop too far away both from the road intersection and the pedestrian crossing. And of course you should not stop on top the pedestrian crossing. The car behind the Tesla, noticed that right away, and went over the Tesla. Even the Tesla driver in the video commented on that. I wonder what FSD version that driver has :-)

- Second failure, the car ahead, the one already over the road crossing started moving but the Tesla would not move at all. Only when the video author accelerated as he mentions in the video.
Practically: however many your computer and uplink can serve. OBS needs to be tested, but this browser to browser test may give some indication: https://tensorworks.com.au/blog/webrtc-stream-limits-investi....

If you've got 100 viewers and can manage to saturate a gigabit uplink (which can be difficult because of routing and other upstream crap) you should be able to send about 9mbps video + overhead, which is pretty close to Twitch's bandwidth cap.

Because consumer ISPs generally don't have great routes between them and sustained gigabit uploads probably don't always work reliably because of overbooking with consumer lines, you'll probably be better off setting up an SFU on a cheap (temporary) cloud server somewhere.

Theoretically: media streams are identified by a 32 bit number, so about 4 billion clients.

Data streams are limited to 65535 endpoints (a signed 16 bit number with a reserved 0).

The point isn't whether you agree with the approach, it's that it's not intellectually honest to claim nobody who considers AI to have existential risks thinks we should do anything about climate change and not eg. mention that Altman's biggest investment is to fight climate change.

It's not a good sign of that?

No fact was claimed other than what something looks like or is cosistent with, and I agree with that much. I'd say it's not even controvercial, no question about it.

When I said about a group of neurons I was talking about LLMs, but some of the same ideas probably apply. Yes, it’s probably not as simple as that, and that’s why we can’t understand them.

One differentiator is the amount of memory available. Apple's shared pool of memory means the GPU has potentially up to 96gb of ram at its disposal, where discrete GPU's are often limited to 8, 12, 16, etc. They mentioned in the keynote that the M2 can handle many tasks discrete GPUs cannot simply because they run out of ram.

Not sure how familiar you are with the realities of driving a car in Lower Manhattan, but as somebody who has visited the place a few times, I can assure you that poor people cannot afford parking there on a regular basis already.
Calm down, none of what you're saying has any basis in reality.

You can still use elm all you want, you just won't get paid for it by a corporation. You seem to not want corporate backing, so you should be okay with that.

Alternatively there are other languages/platforms out there other than ".Net, Java" you can use.
Is there? Whoops. I’ve been doing it wrong for about 20 years now.

In seriousness, the goal here is to have curious conversation, and follow that curiosity wherever it leads. I agree it sounds asinine, but think of the sheer number of details he had to get right merely to survive. He was one inch away from blowing himself up, quite literally, for years.

It is now over a thousand per month for a dedicated space in Manhattan, and that seems to be about the right price.
totally agree with you on (1). no model that isn't advertising has worked so far. but there are other ways and I think we truly owe it to ourselves as a community and society to try them.

i've spoken to maybe 10 folks who are reddit moderators. every one of them does it for the fun - but if they could be directly rewarded with something more than "internet karma points" - they would take it, and feel good.

to your second point - 100% agreement there.

I mention the grassroots moderation in another reply on this thread, but the concept of a subreddit and the control of its creation is a very important one to consider. I don't think this problem has been solved, but I have some theories on how it could be done.

by making those who start a subreddit having to put a "stake" in the ecosystem after they hit a particular threshold - and having everyone who has a stake be able to vote on their future - seems like a reasonable way to do it.
Well, that's not the only metric. But, yes, cotton bags in particular are generally considered to have the most impact. (Somewhat ironically my nicest ones come from an environmental organization I belong to.)

It probably, in general, falls into the category of performative environmentalism even if it led me to change behavior in a way I personally prefer most of the time. (It doesn't apply immediately around where I live and mostly use recyclable bags out of preference.)

Apropos of nothing, I’m always really encouraged to see companies take strong philosophical stances like this. I don’t think it’s a particularly controversial stance, but all the same, it’s encouraging to know they want to promote integrity in this space and try to set an example.
His cell was apparently 12×7-foot, or 3.6×2.1 metres (I was curious). Seems awfully tiny, and personally I consider it inhumane no matter what he has done, but apparently he wasn't too unhappy with it: "I consider myself to be in a (relatively) fortunate situation here. As correctional institutions go, this place is well-administered. It’s clean, the food is good, and it’s quiet, so that I can sleep, think and write (usually) without being distracted by a lot of banging and shouting."[1]

Come to think of it, I might prefer a smaller cell over a larger one if it's clean and doesn't have "a lot of banging and shouting", but that probably says more about the general state of the US prison system than anything else.
