In the Ruby language you are implicitly in the context of the Main object (IIRC). If scripting was it's own context then something like this could perhaps work for Elixir. You're already in a module context implicitly.
Every single person working in the adtech industry is complicit in this.

Joseph Cox’s reporting on the geolocation/tracking shit the US Gov buys up really highlights the direct link between consumer tracking (to sell them shit) and government intrusion into privacy.
Or phantom braking because it thinks a weird shadow is actually an object. Or not realizing the difference between a reflection on a guard rail and a road line marking (because of low sun) causing it to directly aim for a guard rail (something I personally experienced).

Sure, vision object detection is 'solved'.
Okay, but we have since invented machines that can do arithmetic correctly, every time. When we try to do maths via an LLM, we're just throwing all of that away.
pre training and fine tuning use the exact same method of next token prediction. the difference is in the quantity of data you have (& whether the model is pre trained).
you need to train the model on 1 trillion tokens (https://platform.openai.com/tokenizer https://github.com/google/sentencepiece) anyways for it to get reasoning capacities, which it feels very unlikely that your data is that much.

I'm highly skeptical that you have enough data to pretrain if you don't have enough data to fine tune.

fine tuning + vector search + prompting of as much stuff as you can, on a LLM like palm2 or gpt4 is what I would do. otherwise you can use falcon 40B ofc.

maybe I should charge for this ahah
Way to be ultimately dismissive and basically call PC a shill and with a smugness that is unnecessary. Different people have different interests and you can’t just ad hominem them as propaganda.
Years before I started, I made a habit of carrying one or more lighters around. Was real handy when somebody needed one, even if most of the time the only use I got out of it was melting stray threads coming out of my clothes.

It isn’t obvious to me that these models produce something similar to our brains’ output. We can imagine images of course, but the level of quality is hard to define, and it is really hard and time consuming to save the output of an imagined image.

People paint or draw imagined images, but that’s a slow process and there’s a feedback loop going on throughout the whole thing (paint a bit, see how it looks, try a little happy tree, didn’t work out, turn it into a cloud). If we include the time spent painting and reconsidering, image generation using humans is pretty expensive.

An iPhone battery holds tens of watt-hours. A painting might take hours to make (I don’t paint. A couple hours is quick, right?), so if the brain is burning tens of watts in that time, the total cost could be in the same ballpark as generating images until your battery dies. But of course it is really hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison here because the human spends a lot of energy just keeping the lights on while bandwidth is limited by the rate of arm-movement.

Ah yes, the "trust us, our secret proceedings against defendants are always highly-principled and just" argument.

How can I argue with that? You've won our debate so convincingly that I must stop and crawl away in shame.

I agree with this. Having an OS option to scan and tag your documents into some taxonomy that is a built-in in your file browser would be quite attractive. I'm sure Microsoft and Google are both working on it.

e-Discovery applications like Relativity have been doing this for years. You run a PCA against a bunch of OCR'd documents, look for correlations between words or phrases within documents, look for repetitions of those particular correlations, call them 'issues' or 'motifs' and slap a label on them. Attorneys used to use it to scan millions of documents in a discovery set and auto-flag them for possible privilege issues for further review, and even automatically mark them as such.
no you are completely misreading it.. the average person is overwhelmed and distracted; uniformed service people and their close allies have no problem with this technology, in fact it fits closely to their existing daily routine and worldview.

Ordinary people are being required to use the same rigor and verification that uniform services use. What is the problem with that? similar fork in the analysis.. from the average person point of view it is invasive and "I didnt agree to this" but that is not what is important IMO; what happens is that the uniform services are prone to deep corruption because the rewards for that, and the ego of that, are just too great. IMO both "I can do this obviously illegal thing since no one can stop me" like some low-level thug mind, and "I make the rules and the rules say I get these privelages" much more common.

This is a disaster for civil society unfolding now. A uniform services takeover of previously civilian and uniform mix. Who runs the ID system? updates the software ? checks for outstanding warrents? etc
Some examples of different kinds of resolution criteria for forecasting questions:

Personal mechanisms

“If we choose this HR provider, will I think it was a good idea in two month’s time?”

“Each day I’ll write down whether I want to leave or stay in my job. After 2 months, will I have chosen ‘leave’ on >30 days?”

“Will volunteering abroad make me all-things-considered happier?”

“Will I judge that AI was a major topic of debate in the US election?”

Objective proxies

“Will our user satisfaction rating exceed 8.0/10?”

“Will Our World in Data report that >5% of global deaths are due to air pollution by 2030?”

“Will I still be discussing my fear of flying with my therapist in 2024?”

Experts

Consider only actually asking an expert on ¼ of the questions you generate, chosen randomly, to keep your accuracy incentive and get feedback on your predictions, but minimise the cost of consulting experts or mentors.

“Will my mentor agree that pivoting now was the right choice?”

“Will the rest of the team prefer this redesign to the current layout?”

“Will anyone on the animal advocacy forum share evidence that convinces me that abolitionist protests are net-beneficial for the movement?”

“On December 1st, will Marco, Dawn, and Tina all agree that the biosecurity bill passed without amendments that removed its teeth?”

Crowds

“Will >80% of my Twitter followers agree that I should keep the beard?”

“Will a Manifold market on this question trade at >90% YES in two weeks?”

“Will social media posts about our product be more positive than negative in the first month after launch?”

“If I survey 40 random Americans through Mechanical Turk, will our current favourite name be the most popular?”
Damn those are some good names
One option is to use ngrok, but in my case i leased a dedicated ip address. Another option is the cheapest available vps and reverse ssh tunnelling.

In regards to security i only ever enable ssh. While that could be an issue i dont worry that much. With ssh enabled you can forward ports to your local machine.

One thing that sucks is that x11 forwarding is super slow and as such i am stuck with vnc for when i need desktop apps.

Looks like they're using AWS SES. From personal experience, none of them (SES, Mailgun, Sengrid) are suited for critical, transactional emails. I'm working in the same space and we're running our own backend.
My own, personal, use-case is to completely nuke `bash-complet*` off my machine.

To me, bash-completion is horrible. I am looking for a tarball to unwind, and I only remember that it it started with "foo-" and it sure did not end in ".tar" (trying to save keystrokes, y'know). Trying C-i does not pull up anything. Argghh. I am on a machine with bash-completion!

---

I often hit C-a then "a" to get an invalid command (still saved to my hist), or C-a C-k if I think there is nothing else going into the kill-ring. bash-completion absolutely messes with me.

If it works for You, that is great. I really dislike it.
> Poor observability: Most tools keep you in the dark without knowing what really happened after you sent an email. Resend exposes all the events associated with your email via webhooks.

Isn’t this what DMARC is for? I have this setup (along with SPF) with my domain with a strict “reject” policy and a dedicated inbox to receive delivery reports.

I do like that you are tracking whether the recipient opened the email or not. But most email clients are no longer loading images (including the “tracking pixel”) by default so this nice feature/metric can be misleading.

> More recently, as a VP of Developer Experience at WorkOS, I once again had to deal with emails landing in the spam folder

This usually means DMARC is configured incorrectly or just too many of your recipients are marking the emails as spam.

Besides the ability to write templates using react syntax, I don’t see why developers would use yet another centralized service in production.

> But in most cases, the name rather than the number is the most important thing, and it's very easy to sort or filter by name

Names can also be difficult if not done correctly / uniformly. For instance, "Category Name", "CategoryName", "category_name", and "category-name" can all return differently through search.

I don't think the key is names vs. numbers vs. whatever else, I think it's more important to pick a system that works for the use case, then define / document / communicate it as wide and loud as possible.
"Making it shit" doesn't really seem that much clearer. "Enclosure" might more specifically capture the sense of formerly "common" or free elements being closed off and set up as stations to collect rents.

I agree that he is an interesting case (to say the least). But much of his bravado is "self-proclaiming".

As a politician, he tried a couple of times before he was able to parlay his claims into a large following.

Then with this support, he parlayed himself into the top status position in US politics.

His commitment to intellectual enlightenment and integrity being unmistakably dubious, what seems to bother him the most following the loss of the election in 2020 is the loss of status.
This is a losing argument, IMO.

Reviewing the S1 is not a complete review of the legitimacy of a business model, and, of course, cannot predict whether a company will comply with regulations in the future.

It’s notable your argument doesn’t address the fact that the S1 disclosures seemed accurate, e.g.:

> [W]e could be subject to legal or regulatory action in the event the SEC, a foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that a supported crypto asset currently offered, sold, or traded on our platform is a “security” under applicable laws… [W]e could be subject to judicial or administrative sanctions for failing to offer or sell the crypto asset in compliance with the registration requirements, or for acting as a broker, dealer, or national securities exchange without appropriate registration.

It seems coinbase knew there was a substantial risk and proceeded anyway.

> Any crypto sceptic who does not see a problem with this is tainted by their priors

Someone shoulda stopped me is never a good defense. Perhaps they should have. But if it was so clear to them, it should have been even more clear to you, and you have the primary responsibility for your actions and decisions.

It’s up to coinbase and the others to figure out how to create a legal business model around crypto, not the SEC.

Maybe not quite a tweet, but certainly editing it down to 25%-35% of the original length would have resulted in a much higher quality article.

Which gets to the main point that he only grazed but didn't hit, and of which this article is a fine example. There is a resistance to engaging in longer-form works for exactly the same reason he derides the short form (tweets, spouts, TikTok vids, etc.) — there is no guarantee that the quality will be there, and it is a larger investment of time & effort to consume the long-form content, so the potential waste & disappointment will be greater. It's a worse risk/reward ratio than reading a tweet.

Yet, his underlying advice — to be conscious of what you consume and whether it ACTUALLY SATISFIES your needs — is valid, important, and actionable.

I've found that one of the keys is information density. It needs to be at a certain level to be worthwhile (and that level is different for different purposes). For example, I found some 20 years ago that almost all content on cable TV was far too dilute, so I cut the cord. I found that a default Twitter feed has a similarly high trash/value ratio, but this could be fixed by using carefully curated lists of high-value feeds to get high-density info much earlier (this has significantly degraded since Nov-22, I'm finding other better options such as Spoutible).

It does take conscious effort to maintain our entertainment and information feeds to be sure they actually meet OUR needs, but it is worth it.

Watch your free tier very closely. An unfortunate part of being in the email business is that spammers and phishers are always looking for free ways to send their emails on ips with a good reputation. It quickly becomes a game of cat and mouse which detracts from the business, so make sure you have a effective strategy to prevent misuse when allowing customizable emails with a generous free tier.

I haven't read a map in decades now and think about this.

What is gone that I can't imagine coming back soon is the non-map direction giving people used to provide.

Deep psychological trauma can be viewed as a form of brain injury.

It's honestly hard to compare emotional and physical trauma.

You'll heal from a black eye in a few weeks, a broken bone in a few months, whereas I've personally had some emotional baggage that took me literally 17 years + extensive journaling, meditation and psychedelic use to heal, which shows that some emotional scars can take a very long time to mend.

On the flip side, yeah, an injury like a stroke, or getting an eye poked out is permanent, while it's very possible in the modern world to find a new social circle after having been ostracised from an old one.

It's also perhaps useful to note that in the modern world, one type of trauma can lead to another - getting beat up can lead to some emotional trauma that lasts much longer than the physical injuries, being socially isolated can lead to destructive behaviours like drug/alcohol abuse and self-harm...
There are lots of models/approaches to look at if you want improved speed. It seems bizarre to not also want the speed to increase.
The problem is, there are so many to blame. It's not just GNOME: it's Microsoft, and Apple, and GNOME, and... It can't be fixed by just one entity refusing to go with the flow; the flow is the problem. As long as there seems to be some sort of invisible consensus by designers worldwide that Scollbars Are Bad, the problem will spread and infiltrate systems, even ones which ostensibly default to scrollbars.

Let's say, for crafting software, you require advanced algorithms and mathematical knowledge. Sometimes, you encounter abstractions that spare you from reinventing the wheel, allowing you to utilize existing solutions. However, there are instances when you must implement your own solution if a library is deprecated or not supported. As an engineer, how do you solve these problems?
Reading and upvoting brings joy because it signals "I know this and am part of the solution", as much as any mildly controversial hot take.
