But if scroll bars can be themed with CSS now, that should still give the browser control over things like whether they take up space or not and the actual scrolling behaviour, right? It would just allow the developer to give some styling hints so it doesn’t look completely disconnected from the rest of the page

I want to do this so bad with a couple things in my life. But I know I won't because those things matter so much to me and I can't stomach putting those decisions up to chance, even if doing so would make me feel better 6 months out. Maybe I should try being a little more selfish!
> I'm not sure why you interpreted my comment as "antagonistic"

It was where you said cherry picking. I'll admit it was an over correction given your follow-up, but internet comments (especially when disagreement exists) end up being combative. Many times unintentionally.

The point of the specific example is not that it is a trick question. It is more that the answer is self contradictory. That's the key part and what demonstrates that it doesn't understand. The second example is that follow-up questions do not result in a convergence. This is related to cognition but not as strong.

A bias to pattern match is an issue but you're right that it doesn't disprove sentience or even understanding. But a self contradiction does demonstrate a lack of understanding. If a human gave that exact answer, you would be very confused and how someone could be so stupid. Remember, it does currently identify the relationship between pounds and kilograms, fully explaining even the true base comparison through common units. But it still gets it wrong. That's the critical part. That's overfitting to the statistical nature and that this takes far more priority than meaning. Getting it wrong is one thing. Getting it wrong and using the right answer to justify it's incorrect answer is another thing. A decent example between knowledge and understanding. It's not that a child would get the answer right, it's that the child would easily identify it's self inconsistency were it to give the same explanation.

As for gpt3, we have to remember that this is quite a different model than any of the chat versions (typically including gpt4). It was never trained through RLHF, which introducers many more biases as it dramatically changes the latent distributions. GPT base is often jokingly called a babbler, as these are more word prediction models. The chat aspect changes things. But I wouldn't expect anyone not deep in the literature to understand why these are extremely important differences just the same way I wouldn't expect an average person to understand why there's a big difference between a flat head screw and a slotted screw drive.

I don't want to shut down a conversation through authority (it doesn't exist on HN) but I have to state that it's difficult to go down this path without bringing up a lot more background material. We have to really dig into theory of mind, cognition, as well as get nuanced about NLP and LLMs in general. That's far too cumbersome than I'm willing to write in comments. But these things are essential priors to make the arguments we are discussing here. And I truly mean that this is not something that can be learned from YouTube and quite difficult to learn on the Internet. These are difficult subjects to learn in even the best settings with lots of nuances that are brushed away in introductory materials but critical when we discuss the meat and potatoes.
influencing 47 distinct genetic traits, such as how fast someone can burn calories or a person's natural immune resistance to certain diseases.

Annoying that the article doesn't actually tell us what the effects are. Do these Neanderthal genes make it easier or harder to burn calories? Against which diseases do Neanderthal genes give an advantage and against which a disadvantage?
> something happened with Freenode, and the communities faded away, right?

It was a netsplit.

Freenode was sold to an heir of the former Korean monarchy. The idea that the network was even sellable did not resonate with several former staff calling it a hostile takeover, so Libera.Chat was formed as a moral successor.

The split caused a drop in user count from ~80k to ~45k. Some channels migrated to OFTC instead. See a user count history graph:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libera_Chat#History

https://netsplit.de/networks/top10.php?year=2021

Since the decline of freenode, their user count statistics have looked unapologetically synthetic.

It’s a weird point, I don’t get it.

The argument is basically “NYC is flooded with transit money, but they can’t use it. Oh by the way, why are there 2 sub drivers?”

The issue OP is making is much larger than 1x or 2x on each train.
Some thoughts:

1. The concept of subreddits may seem restrictive, but it's also good at filtering low-effort content when you want a more curated experience. If you allow anyone to tag any post with any tag, it could become chaotic.

2. I think the only way to incentivize high quality content is by only having users that value high quality content. You can't take a random sample from the general population, give them a button that says "this is high quality content" and expect them to actually select high quality content. You need a way to filter users, and it doesn't need to be an explicit filter, you just need to find ways to discourage the people you don't want using it from using it (e.g. by not having any images/video, like HN).

3. Ethereum has high transaction fees. Do you intend on using a Layer 2 protocol? Why not something like Harmony, which has much lower fees.

I wish you success!

That is quite simply not true at all.
Some subreddits are coming back with new moderators
As far as I can tell, Reddit seems to be taking control of its popular subreddits by replacing the moderators to overcome the blackout.
absolutely. and ironically that's the one thing i would be willing to pay for - the ability to keep the site as free (as-in-beer) as possible for everyone. any gating of actual features or capabilities behind a paywall just turns me off the site, not in a "how dare they" sense but simply in a "good luck to them but the site is completely irrelevant to me now" sense.

The way elections work in the UK are skewed towards the Conservative party for geographical and political reasons. You can hardly blame Blair for that, especially considering Blair's three victories and 13 years of Labour majority is the best result Labour got in its entire history.

Corbyn? Maybe. He was always too divisive to be PM. Then again, maybe Labour needed a bit of correction after "New Labour".

Comparisons with China are ridiculous in any case.

I don't know the details of the situation in France exactly, but Macron is doing what he feels is needed. Maybe he's right, maybe not, but you can't forever hold of unpopular but needed reforms out of fear of populist parties that merely tell people what they want to hear.
If you have a thousand people competing for 700 apartments, prices will adjust until 300 are priced out of the apartments. Giving the 200 of those people with socially recognized jobs enough money to not be priced out any more will still mean that 300 will be priced out, it will just be different people.

In other words, rents will just increase. The solution is to build 300 more apartments, and make them available at the bottom of the market, not the top.

Why would you think white collar work requires more education?

IMO, top-end blue collar educations such as engineering or medical degrees certainly don’t take less time than white-collar ones such as law school or an MBA.
Sorry for the stupid questions, I really know very little about crypto. With that said,

> Gensler firmly maintains that the vast majority of crypto assets are securities, with the exception of Bitcoin

Why? From an article on Reuters[1],

> Bitcoin is not considered a security because its anonymous and open-source origins mean investor profits are not dependent on the efforts of developers or managers, said Carol Goforth, a law professor at the University of Arkansas.

How is this different from, say, Ethereum? What about when changes to the Bitcoin network are done (either directly e.g. bug fixes or indirectly such as hard forking), does this not count as "efforts of developers or managers?"

Today you can still use iframes but most gateways now provide a tokenization api that provides the form to produce the tokenized cc. Afaik tokenized cc isn't falling under PCI.

My big issues with iframes is the checkout process which inevitably has to make callbacks to your api with the results of the transaction. If you're behind any sort of firewall (like most businesses are) you're in for a world of http pain.

Artificial intelligence warning over human extinction labelled “publicity stunt”
Whitelisting the Opera Mini browser how? Asking Opera Mini to include a signature with requests? Based on user-agent? In any case, browser behavior can and will be copied by bad actors if doing so is a get-past-cloudflare-free-card. That's why it's not just browser, it's browsing habits based on your IP and location in addition to fingerprinting where appropriate in order to allow legitimate users to prove they're human via captcha.

Edit: even if you just mean whitelisting their proxy ip... that doesn't do much good either. It's like asking to whitelist tor - those IPs are blocked because a good amount of spam or malicious traffic originates from them, not because there are x0,000 users on each.

This has been tried in the cryptocurrency space, people start faking accounts to upvote their content and make money.

So basically what already happens with reddit/twitter/etc but amplified because you give them a direct financial incentive to upvote low effort crap.
>Having it also cost money to use the site will help a bit, but it'll also filter out many good users due to not wanting to spend money on a subscription

from my experience, there will be a LOT more ne'er do wells being filtered than good users. Not because there aren't a lot of good users, but simply because there are a lot more low effort ne'er do wells attracted to internet forums.

Other users can still browse at the very least. I think this will capture that nice medium of "good user who doesn't mind a little incentive". Because ofc the highest quality users aren't posting their ideas on public forums at all
That was my first reaction, but then on further consideration, some are start-ups, some are features.

How many people would have said Docusign, Okta, or even GitHub weren't start-ups, but just wrappers around existing technology.
Agreed! Doesn't justify anything that Amazon did in this case but it sounds like a pretty off-putting "feature".

I can always be wrong but I did a rigorous analysis and other people reported similar findings.
As an American living with and around other Americans, none of whom make more than 40K a year (myself included) but also make too much to qualify for low income coverage through combinations of community, city, county, state, and federal coverage (all of which exist and can overlap or stack depending on the specifics)... none of us have paid out of pocket for healthcare except when services are performed by explicitly private entities for services not considered necessary to preserve life, limb, eyesight, mental health, or communicable disease. Dental health appears to be the only exception.

Every other service is "nice to have" rather than "need to have" and I would certainly argue that many of those "nice to have" services ultimately will prevent the need for "need to have" services, so there is definitely room for improvement in my opinion. However, this trope of "Americans have to sell their home to afford an ambulance rode" and other snark needs to be tempered with the reality that those situations are almost entirely because of people intentionally opting out of (or being ignorant of) the existing systems to prevent such financial burden.

I'm sure many will have anecdotes to the contrary. I'm also sure many of those anecdotes will stem from someone either being unaware of available resources or choosing not to use them for one reason or another.

I also know plenty people who believe they will have to pay for things and therefore they don't get help. They don't pay for services bevause they don't get them, and they don't get services because they think they will have to pay for them out of pocket. That mentality comes (in part) from people who keep spouting the same myth that you posted. Please don't spread that rumor, it kills people.

> creating market for data, attaching speculative value to it and et cetera, and stinks of web3 bullshit

Creating tradeable property rights is older than web3. (Web3's innovation was turbocharging securitization by skipping the step of finding something worth securitizing.) The question is whether, and to what extent, we want personal data to be a market good. It currently is.
pedantic "secrete" means to emit fluids or odor.. if you say so! ; "clandestine" means secret or secretive "especially if illegal" .. not illegal per se..

I honestly believe we need legislation.

As society goes digital, it is inevitable that people link ever more things of real importance to account systems of Amazon, Google, the like.

These accounts cannot be Russian roulette, where heuristics may randomly lock you out. Imagine losing your AWS account, and your entire infrastructure is gone. Or losing your Gmail account, your proxy to 200 other accounts. Losing home automation. Losing your webshop.

We need to have some rights. Real world infrastructure should never be shut down without consent, false positive or not. Account suspensions should come with a documented and verifiable reason, not randomness and "we can't share details". There has to be a robust and speedy appeal process that is equally transparent. Concerns must be separated. If you violate terms on service A, the blast radius should be service A, not your entire life. And yes, companies should absolutely be sued for real damages done if they fail to have the above in place.

I gotta point out a UI issue on account registration. Firefox generated a random password for me, and filled in the password fields. When I clicked the Create Account button, the button changed to red, and shook as if to say, "NO." There was no message indicating the problem.

I had to retry with my dev tools open to see that the response code from the request triggered by clicking Create Account contained a message about username, e-mail, and password being required.

This error was presented even though I had all fields with valid data, and I was unable to create an account until I manually edited both password fields, which I had not dirtied myself previously.
Sure. The only way to improve yourself to next level is ... blowing up yourself, or, getting out of comfort zone.

It's fine that you do not want to do it. But there's a tradeoff here, it's harder to upgrade yourself.
The post is a month old. It doesn’t have to do with the blackout.
Ok, use whatever word you want to describe it.

The point being that some people think that all legal speech, or legal "insert whatever word you want to describe what twitter now allows" should be allowed on the platform.

So talking about "Twitter as a private entity" is not really a valid response, and actually works against you.

It is not a valid response because twitter the private entity is now choosing to allow this stuff, whatever you want to call it.

In the context of these types of conversations, people are usually saying that they want all legal behavior to be allowed on the platform, not illegal behavior.

> In practice, most people do not understand the ramifications of the things they agreed to

Going further, it must be clarified that the whole point of doing things this way is that people do not understand it. The people who want to surveil everyone could either do it illegally and get in trouble, or create an inscrutable bureaucratic system that so sufficiently obscures what they are doing that they get the same results along with a legal cover if they are discovered. If we did have privacy laws that prevented this, they would just collect it illegally. This is absolutely not to say that privacy laws are pointless (they would be helpful) but that we must understand this situation not as an accident, but as the slow creation of a class of people who want to exercise power over us and have been getting their way.
