> anatta (not-self)

I'm not denying that such experiences exist. I'm just pointing out that the "self" which is asserted to not exist (or not be experienced, or however you want to describe it) in such experiences is a very limited concept of "self".
it would be nice if that word wasn't overused to the point of becoming essentially meaningless in contemporary discourse—it seems like a word that should probably retain a significant amount of gravitas!
How can OBS with the new WebRTC and WHIP+WHEP be used to stream to thousands of people at once, without using RTMP?

And what is the proper infrastructure to scale WebRTC to thousands of listeners at once?
This is only if you listen to the most mainstream, general audience top 40 pop content-sludge.

There is an overwhelming amount of good music out there. Pick an album top 50 list from 2022, for example fantano's, or pitchfork, check out bandcamp's staff picks, listen to other musicians that are on the same label as your favourite band, keep an eye on things like NPR Tiny Desk, KEXP, la blogothèque on YouTube.

Just start listening. You are almost guaranteed to stumble upon something you like. It won't come to you algorithmically but the effort required is really low.

My favourite new album I discovered last year was Immanuel Wilkin's The 7th Hand [1], I stumbled upon it by going through a top 20 jazz albums of 2022 list to see if I had missed anything, and it immediately jumped out at me as being exactly the shit I'm into.

Yeah, I did too. The use case for the Mac Pro is even more limited than what you would expect (it's not like there are a lot of supported PCI boards). It's hard to think of many users who would choose it over a Studio. I doubt Apple will make any money on the Pro.

They could use this version as a stepping stone to a future faster device. But I suspect this form factor is a dead end for the Apple customer base. Maybe it exists for bragging (i.e. marketing) rights, the same reason Honda funds a Formula 1 team.
> remote work does work initially, if you start with a system already healthy from in-person work

Agree 100% here, with the assumption that the system is healthy to start with. And it's safe to assume it to be true for startups, which is the focus of PG's tweet. (If it's not, that start-up is already dead or close to be)

For startups, a competitive advantage is to do things that don't scale while you can. This includes "O(n²)" non-scalable communication, since n is still very small. And that kind of communication obviously works better in-person.

Late stage companies where async communication and slow-to-move things is the norm (due to the switch to a scalable communication method) actually benefit from remote work if the in-person office was kind of unhealthy for some people. Unhealthiness can be from the unavoidable slowness of communication/bureaucracy in a 50k+ employees company, or it can be from a rotten local culture in the office closest to you.

For this type of companies, remote options makes sense, the same way that expanding to other regions made sense. At this stage your communication is by nature scaled up, slower, and was already spanned across multiple buildings in original campus, so why not remote?
Windows only. Still, good to have alternatives. OBS is nice in that learning it means you can use it on 3 of the biggest platforms, even if performance isn't top notch.
> You can only claim that you don't notice a problem, not that anyone else doesn't have a problem or what it's cause must or must not be.

Fair.

I don't think you are wrong per se, I've seen first hand that dismissal or even censorship of FBI crime stats.

But even though the data is truthful and I wish we could discuss it, it's hard to deny that the goal of the poster is usually to legitimize hate and after a few heated discussions the mods learn to recognize it as a red flag and they act early.

I know, it sounds like a slippery slope fallacy. But we've seen how platforms turn out when it's allowed. Eg voat or gab.

This is probably a very unpopular opinion but I really would like to see Zuck firing himself and shutting down Facebook and Instagram, Elon firing himself and shutting down Twitter and Spez firing himself and shutting down Reddit.

Partly thanks to the services they are running the World Wide Web turned into a ego and rage infested shithole.

A lot of it is just "is the can the string is attached to 3" from the speaker or 3'?"

A mediocre mic placed 3-6" from the mouth is going to almost always sound better than any price of mic placed 5' away, except in sound treated studios with excellent technique and strong post-processing.
It's kind of interesting that emotionally I agree with that feeling, but if you just look at the fact that I'm reading what you wrote in real time from the most remote island chain in the world, and with a couple of finger swipes I could switch apps and buy a buggy whip with one click...I mean just imagine what you would have to do to buy a buggy whip in 1985.

Yeah, "morality" is a good word.

See, Kaczynski's theory is also about morality. He's complaining about the damage that technology does. Well, why do we care that it does damage? That's a moral question, not a scientific or technical one. He's making a moral argument.

So, if he's making a moral argument and murdering people, that means that I for one am unwilling to trust his moral judgment. It means I can't trust him when he says that we would be better off without technology. I can't trust his whole argument, because it's primarily a moral one.
just look at what IDEs that runs exclusively on ios are like: crap.

The most dangerous idea of our age (aka, the greatest conspiracy) is that we are not alone in our own minds.

A secret occult power, and a secret occult society, and a secret war upon us all is American Thought Control.

Imperceptible and incomprehensible in the minds of ordinary Man; indistinguishable from God in the minds of the thought controlled Americans, is a disembodied abomination of Power that spreads corruption and perversion throughout the world.

No greater evil exists among humanity, than thought controlled Americans, and American Thought Control.

Allah in the minds of Muslims, Yahweh in the minds of the Jewish, Jesus among the Christians, spirit, or just plain synchronicity among the agnostic, atheists, and any other by virtue of Power.

These spread race hate, pedophelia, rape (hepatitis and aids are weapons of biological warfare upon you and your communities), and extortion.

You will not hear if this on Fox News or CNN, not in the New York Times, or the Washington Post, yet this trend will be undeniable to those who undeceive.

A secret war is being waged upon us, and the enemy of Truth, Law, and Free World is Thought Controlled America.

With power in city downtowns (eg San Jose) at $0.50+/kWh it’s definitely becoming a huge factor. My Mac uses almost an order of magnitude less power than the PC and I keep the PC powered off.
Well, I think you're trying to dismiss defenders of Diamond by saying "those people aren't published 'experts' in the field."

Which is, as you said, "a wonderful mental trick to convince yourself you're right without fact-checking yourself." They're not in our club, so they don't count.
Basing a decision on which technology to use based on who it triggers is, uh, stupid.

Elm seems like a really awesome piece of technology, but it's pretty obvious that its BDFL shit the bed pretty hard by neglecting the project, and the momentum behind the project has been drying up for a long time.

I would hope it comes back, but even if it doesn't, a lot of people have adapted elements of the Elm architecture into other projects, and the community still prospers as a result.
> One problem with that kind of feedback is that it incentives the AI to make us think it solved the problem when it didn’t,

Supervised learning is: "here's the task" … "here's the expected solution" *adjusts model parameters to bring it closer to the expected solution*.

What you're describing is specification hacking, which only occurs in a different kind of AI system: https://vkrakovna.wordpress.com/2018/04/02/specification-gam... In theory, it could occur with feedback-based fine-tuning, but I doubt it'd result in anything impressive happening.
Interactive proof languages already work that way, to a greater or lesser extent.

But, for general-purpose languages, this revictimizes the docker addicts.
I wonder whether the allure of migrating out of the country has lessened somewhat among more recent graduates.

Speaking anecdotally, of my group of six friends (we graduated from an IIT about ten years ago), one never expressed any interest in traveling (he subsequently went to an IIM and worked for a FAANG in India), two spent several years in the US but went back, and a fourth has expressed interest in returning to India. All of us who came to the US worked for FAANGs or got Masters / MBAs / PhDs from very well-ranked American universities.

More personally, living in the US has not come across as unambiguously better than living in India. I'm in academia, and I cannot imagine an institute like IISc being substantially more difficult to navigate than where I currently am. Society is more broad-minded, politics is (comparatively) less of a shithole, and a few metrics such as pollution and bureaucratic corruption are somewhat better. On the other hand, I am half the world away from aging family, it is easier to be lonely, I miss the food, and with a FAANG salary, I could live like royalty in India.

Life in India is not for me, but I suspect that the range of opinions is getting more varied than (say) thirty years ago.
The Jazz, like Jim Clark, were another transplant from New Orleans.
It's pointless reading the justifications since they're obvious post hoc rationalizations.
Music died in the late 80s when the DJ supplanted the musician and sampling replaced originality. This is just part of the same trend.
> hey invent new genres for every song, they wear Metallica t-shirts in 2023, and they mix 80s disco with 00's Brit rock like it's just what people do.

If this appeals to you, it's worth checking out Japanese music from the Showa era to present. They've long mixed styles in a way other music markets have not. You can hear city pop songs from the 80s with metal guitar solos, jazz progressions a samba beat and synths, all in the same song.

Christian's math assumes every MAU is worth the same. He took $600 million in revenue and divided it by 430 million MAU, to get to $0.12 per user.

In reality, the value of a MAU varies a ton by geography (and other factors).

For Meta, in 2023, US and Canada traffic is worth $48/yr, while developing world traffic is $3.35/yr. A ~15x difference.

> Liability isn't generally something that is granted, it's either there or not. If Tesla FSD causes an accident, they can absolutely be sued for that in the US.

That’s not what liability means here. Assuming the story is true, it means Mercedes is responsible for damages caused when the system is engaged and the users know that when they buy the car. Being sued afterwards is not the same thing.

> The reason that "Tesla is liable for accidents" doesn't make news is... that there are vanishingly few AP/FSD accidents.

Or because Tesla actively hides accident data by using suspect methodology and not following regulations about disclosure.

Just a couple of days ago there was a user report of FSD hitting and killing a dog: https://twitter.com/TeslaUberRide/status/1666860361381818384...

Unsurprisingly, it won’t show up in any of the stats Tesla publishes in their two-paragraph “safety report”. That’s because they don’t consider any contact that doesn’t deploy airbags to be an accident. There are plenty of reports like this that are not being counted.

Not to mention, Tesla is openly violating at least CA DMV regulations that require reporting of all disengagements and contact events.
Well, I post both liberal and conservative pieces. I've learned how to judge if something is biased since I lose subscribers since mine are from both sides of the aisle.

So far, in the 2 hours since I posted this, it's my most read piece.

You know how many subscribers I've lost out of 8,000?

5

So apparently no one else thinks it's biased and I've gotten quite a few emails and texts saying I did an excellent job staying objective and neutral: https://imgur.com/a/rmWSfw6

I think you need to check your own biases.
great point. IMO, there are a few things that are needed at the technical level for a system like this to work.

- identity - a common id system across the whole system that supports all existing means (think oauth based)

- a mechanism to sign your messages to prove that you truly were the poster (since there is no longer a central authority to validate that)

- a mechanism to store these messages and get them in real time (this is where activitypub can be super handy)

- a way to search / index these messages for retrieval

- a way to create a feed of activity that uses some algorithm for ranking

- a way to discover other forums / communities

so while activity pub serves well for one aspect, the other ones aren't quite there yet to be used in a decentralized fashion.
I mean, even without all the fancy AI detection doing something like that is obviously grounds for termination.

He participated in about 200 hours of experiments from the age of 16 to 19 which basically consisted of "roasting" and bullying him. The experimenters intentionally sought out the most insecure "maladjusted" students at Harvard (Kaczynski was accepted at 16) and lied about what the experiment was going to do.

The entire thing was horrible and profoundly unethical. His brother has stated it really changed Kaczynski.

Some people have claimed that it was run by the CIA as part of MKUltra. This is certainly possible but not really substantiated by clear evidence as far as I've seen, and even if the CIA has some relationship they probably didn't instigate the experiments but just asked for research notes or something relatively benign like that. We'll probably never know for sure though.

Whatever the case may be, of the group of students that were subjected to these abusive experiments only one became a terrorist, so "the CIA created the Unabomber" is rather simplistic IMO. The primary blame remains with Kaczynski, no matter what.
> Plenty of people are rich enough to drive, but not rich enough to live in convenient locations.

Now they're not rich enough to drive, they're become poor enough to use public transportation. Maybe their votes will improve the convenience of public transportation.

To somebody who can afford to live in Manhattan, you'd have to charge $200 a trip to bother them. Just tax them, and use that money to build out public transportation.

Very weird to crusade for the right of people who can barely afford their cars to be better than those who can't afford cars.
I just published conceptual art that I created using Midjourney in Nature!

Ironically, Nature's own licensing rigor drove me to generate this art. It was replacing content that had come from other sources, where the time to obtain and clear copyright was too long for our timeline. More hilariously, one of the images that I replaced was from the US government, and in the public domain. The other was from a consortium in which I am part of the project leadership.

They seemed perfectly okay with this, as long as I proved to them that I had the professional Midjourney account where copyright is not encumbered. I wonder when they will again allow this kind of use.

First, a Mac Studio with M1 Ultra is $3999.

Second, people don't buy Macs only for performance. They also buy Macs for macOS, for integration between devices, for a system that is cool and quiet, for hardware acceleration of ProRes, for on-device privacy-preserving machine learning. Being a bit slower than competing AMD and Intel systems is acceptable, because you get so many other desirable properties in return.

I'd definitely consider a Mac Studio with an M2 Max or M2 Ultra, if I didn't want something portable. I would never buy a machine with a competing machine with an Intel or AMD machine, because I don't want to deal with Windows or desktop Linux.

Other people have another set of priorities and that is fine.
So you're saying selling any sort of data analytics software to the government is a criminal act?
In reference to the elderly, creating faux kids, grand-kids or parents based on machine learning will ultimately backfire. They may find it interesting at first but will likely get more depressed when they come to terms with this being fake and manipulating their emotions. It will also create false memories this can happen with the elderly which can make things really awkward when the real grand-kids do happen to stop by. "Mom, grandma's acting weird again!". This would be unfair to everyone involved.

If machine learning was instead creating very obviously fictional characters that offered authentic emotional, psychological and educational help to people of all ages that may be useful. The fictional characters should make it very clear they are fake in the event someone has a chemical imbalance and might start to think they are real. The characters should detect when a person starts to act is if the machine is a real person and respond accordingly. Educational lessons being taught by Loki? I would buy that.

I personally believe that all of these things and so much more will need to be worked out long before this logic is added to physical robots.
