(I haven't watched his videos; I only know about MrBeast from this article and passing conversations.)

I think the moral discomfort that's being identified here is a reasonable one, and stems from the same basic (and intuitive) source as the familiar "billionaire philanthropist" thought experiment: many people have a strong intuition that publicized philanthropy is in some ways less praiseworthy than the contents of its actions would otherwise imply.

That source, in turn, is something like our recognition of other self-legislating agents: we know that the actions taken by others are done with independent ends in mind, and it's reasonable to think less of an action when we have a good reason to believe that the person's ends are not themselves free from inclination (desire for praise, fame, etc.).

In other words: people like MrBeast intuitively inspire distrust and "ick" reactions because they give the the impression that the observer is being had in some way.
MrBeast has a higher philanthropy rate than the mega-non-profits in the US: Harvard et. al.

Good for him for having elevated doing good things to an art form.

To Jimmy’s credit, a lot of his charity work is done without a camera. He runs a legit food pantry year-round. He doesn’t farm it for views. I think it’s only in one or two videos.

My Boox Note 2 (which is somewhat old now, released late 2019) is much more fully featured, but again it still has mostly the same problem despite having full-fat Android at your stylus-tip; most of the software isn't made for this kind of user interaction.

The software that is (the reader, the note-taking software, etc. that Boox wrote) is excellent. Which makes it all the more sad that there's so little that is written to take advantage of it.

Intuitively, I think this also hints at why LLMs get more prone to confusion when trained to be "safe" - the underlying representations for applying human morality in context are much more complex to learn than simpler but potentially psychopathic logic.

this does not sound like "property" to me, at all. it sure doesn't sound like the way things are done today, but, it does not sound like "property" either. as of now, I maintain that this popular shorthand is a poor descriptor.

It’s shady because he puts his name on crap and doesn’t care because everything is BS.

It appears they are making an assumption that the type of person who reads blog posts about the inner workings of an API gateway also knows how to read a well labeled graph.
The skunky odor/flavor comes from light exposure to hops and it’s easily prevented with dark bottles or cans. Other herbs work well as preservatives and don’t get skunky at all. Beer can be shelf stable basically indefinitely if well kept, and often ages very well.
> You are also putting words in the mouth of the dead by assuming the answer to those above questions. I don't know why one side of this debate gets to claim they speak for the dead with perfect accuracy.

There is only one of us who is suggesting that changing the words in an author’s work after their death is a Good Idea. I am suggesting that the words be left alone entirely, given the objective impossibility of knowing a dead author’s original intent (so ably demonstrated by your excellent use of repetition!).

You desire (or at least accept) altering the original material without regard to the original author’s wishes. That is your right. But such an argument would seem to require justification for the change. Leaving something as is generally does not.

This difference in our positions explains why you perceive me as “speaking for the dead with perfect accuracy” while saying you do not. I am not speaking for the dead. I am letting them speak for themselves and pushing back against those who would alter their message.

You are operating under the assumption that they’d rather their work continue to generate profit for modern businesses, and would accept editing accordingly. Maybe. Maybe not. But boy is it frustrating to hear endless arguments supporting altering existing work to line other people’s pockets, with any suggestion of “write something new, yourself, if it bothers you” being blown off with “this is what they would want”.

Especially grating: the fact that this argument almost always comes out of those who have not generated any such material themselves. Perhaps if they did, they would begin to understand how carefully each word is chosen in any work possessing enough quality to last through the ages.

I am no SF apologist but if you read through the article:

"Over the past three years, Westfield has sold a number of properties, including the Westfield Brandon in Tampa, the Westfield North County in San Diego and the Westfield Santa Anita in Arcadia."

SF leadership is problematic but it's not clearcut to me that Westfield closure is just an SF city problem.
Fortunately there are a lot of other terraform deployment and state management systems, such as Spacelift and Scalr.
Yes, but the original question asker asked the person who said using Reddit was pointless. All your reasons also apply to Reddit.

As a moderate, new > old Twitter. A lot of progressives left because they're not favored and lost their echo chamber.
The difference is the time period and the industries they were built around. NYC was the center of the banking universe, but banking didn’t become big the way we know it today until the 80s, which did a lot to pull NYC out of its rut. Detroit was built around manufacturing and automobiles, and American businesses have done everything they can to make eviscerate domestic manufacturing in their pursuit of profits.
There aren’t many locally produced lagers hardly anywhere, so it’s hard to compare. They take much longer to produce than ales, and require active cooling in most places.

Lots of love for BBEdit. I appreciate it as a long-lived, native Mac text editor. It hasn’t stagnated, instead incrementally improving for decades.

Discovering the command line tools was a very good day for me. I really like the built-in (two way) diff, and it’s my $EDITOR of choice on mac.

> It's not just some operators, it's a large part of the ham community that's bent on policing "intruders" like that.

I understand that your argument is "some hams are jerks, therefore all hams deserve to be punished." It's not the "some hams are jerks" part that I'm doubting, nor the intensity and unfairness of their jerkiness. It's the "therefore..." part. No amount of anecdotes proving the former is going to make the logic work in the latter.

And no amount of secret jamming is going to change any laws or influence anyone's attitudes. If you want to protest, stand up in public and protest. If you want to get petty revenge on a stranger for sharing a hobby with some obnoxious assholes, you can do that instead. But don't tell yourself that you're just like sit-in protestors. It's embarrassing.
I currently have a Pi 2 that I use as a pie hole DNS server, a Pi 4 that I play some retro games on and occasionally use as a desktop PC, and a Pi 0 WH that I'm trying to use to reprogram the flash chip on a different device.

I used to have a few more, but I put them on eBay last year. I figured I was doing my part to lessen the shortage, and I'll replace them whenever they come back into regular supply.
I understand it might appear this way to someone who already has specific political leanings, but as someone without a dog in this fight - that does not appear supported by the evidence. Your conclusions reveal more about your priors than anything else.
My biggest issue with Pulumi is that it doesn't have all of the guardrails/tools (like tfsec, tflint, and pavlov) to prevent newbies from doing bad things. I highly considered it for my team's project, but they are not mature enough developers for me to trust them not to massively screw things up or spend forever doing fairly simple things.
I was going to say that too but I’ve been trying to blow up that part of my life
Out of curiosity, how much of that do you typically use during a heavy workload, and what apps use most of it?

Asking because I have 64GB on Ubuntu and rarely exceed 30 or so of actual usage. 384GB of RAM is just wild to me. Maybe it's because I don't do video/audio production, but I can't imagine what one could possibly run on a non-server that would use that much.
If I pay to upvote I’m not pushing meme for sure.

Apple invested well in Safari early on.

They used to be very proud of their JS performance and so on.

But then in recent years they seemed to coasting.

Hopefully now they are back on to it, maybe the threat of being forced to allow alternative browser engines has them to focus.

Who knew completion might actually be good for innovation and capitalism….

Isn't every philanthropic foundation also a "business"? The Gates Foundation had $150 million of income from their investments in 2022. The CEO of the Gates Foundation was paid $1.176 million last year. Their net assets went up by $13 billion in 2022 and up $20 billion since the beginning of 2021.
>>If you're disciplined, you can write complex systems pretty much as well as you could in Python or any other dynamically-typed language.

Python is today's Perl. It ditched the philosophical sermons of simplicity, minimality and all that, for practicality almost 15 years back. Since then, Python 3, has not shown any reluctance to add new syntactical features and sugar. The ecosystem is large. The language is flexible enough today to give Perl like feels from the 1990s and 2000s. Python is no longer big in web dev thanks to React, and its back to being a backend glue language(Java being a language for serious backend enterprise work) with Perl like philosophical leanings.

As of today think of Python as a Perl with mandatory tab based formatting.

Well yes, but our understanding of what approximations should work is not really separable from the theory itself. E.g. from the article,

So it's still good science IMO.
Melange is the name of the desert spice that grants prescience in the Dune series, so this isn't too much of a coincidence.
When Apple releases one of these for $1999, that's the point where they'll be taking the general consumer market seriously. The price of a MacBook Pro.

I think you could get there pretty quickly by cutting out all the AR stuff and making a VR-only "spatial computing" device, but I dunno if that's something they want to do.
This is just so fucked a world. This is pillaging America, ruining Americanism. And we can scarcely blame these foes of society for their petty villiany.

Vercel is the best option by far for everything you asked for. Only node.js though. Managed DB can use Planetscale or Supabase.

For me, the discomfort is that Mr Beast's content relies on exploiting people's desperation due to the lack of social safety net. It's not his fault that they're in such dire straits to begin with, but he's nonetheless behaving opportunistically and his actions have no chance of changing the system that landed these people in such tough situations
I frankly can't think of a more dangerous thing humanity can be doing than gain of function research.

It’s weird that there’s a whole culture around all these craft beers that seems interesting to me but every time I drink anything labeled beer or ale or whatever it is, I feel hot and am basically overcome with a berserker rage (I don’t know how else to explain it, I get really agitated and feel like I’m in flight or fight and want to fight, and it’s like my brain is on fire) within minutes of drinking any sort of beer. The next day I’ll often have a sort of tremor for hours in the morning and minor neurological issues where I have a hard time lifting a glass of water to drink and sober up.

Ciders and liquors don’t cause this issue. I tried a gluten free beer at the insistence of coworkers and a similar thing happened. It just makes me hulk out.

Anyone have any idea why? I figure I’ve got to be allergic to something but I don’t really have any idea what that something might be.
How do you determine this? He’s not a charity so isn’t forced to file data so charitynavigator can determine his payout rate.

What percent does he give to charity? And how is it audited?

How does he compare to top charities?
They did an ungodly-bad rebrand and suddenly just looked like every other beer.
Okay let's just take GPT's word for it.
I'm building https://linklonk.com which works this way - you get content ranked based on what you upvoted. This is to make the incentives for voting aligned and help prevent abuse.

I think the problem with karma/reputation systems is that the source of karma are fungible - anyone's upvote has the same effect on the reputation. And this makes it gameable.

A personalized system can solve this by replacing global reputation with user-to-user trust. Now it matters who upvoted - a random bot or a user whose past contributions have been useful to you.
> One downside is that it competes for the same “feel-good” feeling which much more effective charities compete for. [...] Later they walk by a food shelter in need of volunteers and thinks “I already did my part.”

The exact same argument is made against government programs. And there's a long history of research showing just how much government grants crowd out charitable giving because tax payers feel like "I already did my part".

But I don't see how you can consistently argue against Mr. Beast without also arguing against government funding, if crowding out is the issue you're concerned about.
Of course not. But for a low price of $8 per month per drive you can subscribe to the new WD+ service, which will remove those pesky warnings, unlock your drives performance for streaming workloads, and give your management a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that your storage is protected. /s (or is it?)
Does it? Search for $topic on Reddit and you are guaranteed to find forum posts related to $topic, and very possibly at least one forum (subreddit) dedicated thereto. On the broader web, there's no guarantee of finding anything at all. Plus you can look at other people's subscriptions and posts to see what they follow. And sometimes you can just take a wild guess and go to /r/$topic and it will be what you're looking for. It's definitely better than zero.
This was Reddit's statement (proven to be false btw by audio recordings) before "the dev Apollo spat the dummy and turned it into a public mega drama":

> Steve: "Apollo threatened us, said they’ll “make it easy” if Reddit gave them $10 million." Steve: "This guy behind the scenes is coercing us. He's threatening us."

Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36245721 (there's probably a better source linked in there somewhere)

Soooo yeah the dev of Apollo should have just sat back and let Reddit's CEO control the narrative and tell lies to make itself look better?
I think there's also a balance here to make where we don't even know the effects on non-blue skies on animals, who perhaps depend on the sky being as it is for things like orientation?

Would a billion+ animals deserve to die (that did not contribute to climate change), to save millions of other animals, called human (who actually contributed to this situation)?

It's an impossible question, but still needs to be posed.

Thr fact of the matter remains - we humans seem to try to be doing anything (geo-engineering, clever carbon offsetting schemes, etc) than the only reasonable thing: cutting down on consumption, de-growth.

Somehow the human mind seems completely incapable of accepting this fact (let alone acting on it) that for once we need to be humble and self-limit ourselves.

Seems to go against the grain of the credo of most societies on earth (in particular the western one).

By the time I switched to Mac it was already MacOS X Jaguar and it had vi which I was used to. I didn’t buy my first BBEdit license until 2 years ago (!!) thanks to a blog post I read. It’s a great editor. I’ve always liked macOS because it felt like the Linux I use at work, but BBEdit is a great reason to not run vim fullscreen.
Such a pity no one else can compete here presently. Would that others be able to gain a position where their software made them competitive on the free market.

If your house-life is dependent on the availability of the internet, you're doing it wrong.

It's like the all-electric houses that are really great. But I had one of those and when the power was out, we had no running water either (the water-pump was electric) and were restricted to one flush. We couldn't even make a hot cup of coffee.
Steve Keen, Robert U. Ayres, Russell Standish, "A Note on the Role of Energy in Production" (March 2019):

Energy plays no role in the standard Cobb-Douglas Production Function (CDPF), and a trivial role in a three-factor CDPF where it is treated as a third input, independent of labour and capital. Starting from an epistemological perspective, we treat energy as an input to both labour and capital, without which production is impossible. We then derive an energy-based CPDF (EBCDPF) in which energy plays a critical role. We argue for the redefinition and measurement of real GDP in terms of exergy. We conclude that the “Solow Residual” measures the contribution of exergy to growth, and that the exponents in the EBCDPF should be based on cross-country comparative data as suggested by Mankiw (1995) rather than the “cost-share theorem”.

<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S09218...>

For an excellent discussion of efficiency of energy use over time, see Vaclav Smil's Energy and Civilization (2017), which shows the actual attained efficiencies of various fuels usage.

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_and_Civilization:_A_His...>

<https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262536165/energy-and-civilizati...>

Note that due to conversion efficiency limits, most generally those of Carnot engines, achieved efficiency in converting thermal to mechanical energy trends around 30%. That can go higher in some applications (e.g., dual-cycle steam turbines combined with usage of residual thermal heat in cogeneration plants). But for the most part large-scale modeling relies on the 30% figure. See for example the Lawrence Livermore Labs energy-flow Sankey charts, in which ~30% efficiency simply assumed for the model, rather than explicitly measured, based on modeling:

End-use efficiency is estimated at 65% for the residential sector, 65% for the commercial sector, 21% for the transportation sector, and 49% for the industrial sector, which was updated in 2017 to reflect DOE's analysis of manufacturing.

<https://flowcharts.llnl.gov/sites/flowcharts/files/styles/or...>

<https://gs.llnl.gov/energy-homeland-security/energy-security...>

TL;DR: results are based on overall inputs and outputs, don't get caught up in considering minutiae of conversion efficiencies.
Yep, the simulator (will come with the SDK when it's released) plus an iPhone/iPad is the best you're gonna get. Most code will definitely translate! Would recommend ARKit+RealityKit over Unity for the best OS integration unless you've already started with Unity or don't need OS integration (i.e. a videogame).
I think they've done everything to steer the conversation away from the topic of bots, spam, and grey market ads. If reddit is selling ad space but you can get it cheaper via vote bots, why would anyone buy ad space through reddit?
How is ML not also an opaque algorithm? You can still bake bias in, especially if you train it on the type of content to favor.
