I can confirm this happens with the API as well though. But it does work if you ask it to output the quote in YAML format somehow.

acknowledgeFear: I must not fear.

understandEffect: Fear is the mind-killer.

describeImpact: Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

faceFear: I will face my fear.

observeAbsence: And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

finalResult: Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
It's seems this was a garbled sentence in the first edition. Here was Graebers response:

> There was a garbled sentence in the first edition that I didn't catch in proofreading but was instantly removed as soon as anyone noticed it. DeLong has seized on this and endlessly reproduced it, quite possible hundreds of times, pretending it's still in the text.

For the life of me I cannot understand why we tolerate antisocial behaviour in our public spaces. The difference in experience between Market Street and most streets in Berlin or Kyoto is astounding.

Forced relocation to care communities (which would need to be built) is the only move I see. Food, Shelter, Waste disposal, etc. The idea of a group of homeless people being able to set up a camp wherever they want, when everything else in society needs to go through planning permission is insane.
Interesting, I wish you well as we sorely need more RPGs in that vein... are you writing an engine in-house?

There's good and bad ways to do open offices. I've worked in both.

Good open offices still segregate noisy from quiet environments- i.e. nobody should be putting the lunchroom, games or sales people near engineers. They provide enough desk space that you aren't right on top of anyone else. Lots of smaller meeting rooms nearby for people to pair or have extended conversations. Quick collaboration is easy, and you can physically see when someone doesn't want to be disturbed.

Bad open offices lump different departments together, cram you in and make you listen to the microwave constantly ding and smell that one guy's leftover fish every day. They invite constant distractions.

That said, I've moved out of the city and i would need an unrealistic amount of money to be convinced into taking a job that wasn't fully remote again.

A good question. I had a private office once, however it did not have a window or other source of natural light, which was a big problem. Maybe that's one advantage of open plan - it brings natural light to everyone.

You're right that the F-22 and F-35 aren't black, but neither are they the blueish gray I'm talking about which is much darker: https://dragonladyhistory.com/2019/04/30/u-2-black-paint/ The B-2 also isn't very blueish, it's more on the dark gray end of the scale but I can see how that's subjective.

And you're forgetting the U-2 and SR-71, which lacked full blown RCS reduction geometry but were still fitted with the black RAM coating (the SR-71 also had some stealth geometry; that was the purpose of the chines.)
I'd say companies have zero incentive to spend money on a job that is doesn't need to be done.

So I'd say if there is company X will to spend $Y on a job, then by definition it's not a bullshit job.
I made no mention of cost. There is not enough square footage in my office to make a private office that doesn't feel like a sardine can for everyone.
How would a proposed regulation even work? Didn't Google publish an article about how they have no moat against open source models?
These kinds of UX problems have been plaguing federated platforms for a while now. Feels like the alternatives have bitten off more than they can chew. It would have been nice if someone had built something like old reddit or voat but banning the racists. None of these platforms feel like actual alternatives to reddit.
I can't understand why people don't see this beyond the context of what's happening this week. This is about the future.

The whole affair has resulted in Reddit very publicly taking on the status of a lame duck platform rather than one that's enjoyed by users and is on the rise.

Reddit is too big to be disrupted quickly, like Twitter was. The current leading sites are too entrenched.

But this has all been about these sites taking a very public, tangible, official turn into sites we hate but use anyway because we have to because they're there. This plays out over the next 5 years, not this one month. Facebook didn't die, but no one takes it seriously anymore and after 10 more years it will be Craigslist.

Reddit and Twitter had already gone downhill before Musk and before this, but it was more subconsciously felt, tacit, unspoken. But from now on, period, these sites are tolerated instead of loved. Mocked, cursed, communally understood to have been enshittified past the point of no return. Like Facebook now, they're the DMV of the Internet.

Protest is nuanced and slow. It's ridiculous to see people reducing it to the surface level and the now.
An important component to all this is control. Essentially, people would much rather a poor environment that they had control over, versus a great environment that could be changed around at the whim of 'management'.

regulation and nimbys
As real as regulatory capture is, alternatively, do we actually want congress to make laws based off their poor understanding of what AI is and where its going?

If we get AI laws they will either be misinformed or designed to entrench the current winners. I actually dont think we need AI laws. If some real problem actually does emerge in the future which warrants a new law then we can make an informed law to deal with it then.

It's a rather great looking + feeling platform and the blog post is nice too, but I find the arguments against federation quite weak and have diminished hope for Discuit's popularity based on it not supporting it.

It may still be a bit away from a tipping point and the UX may not be 100% finished, but to me Lemmy looks like the clear favorite for a platform one can use today. If you're compatible with it you automatically get its content, which is a valuable commodity for kick-starting right now.
Certainly! Its just that now I can objectively discern the difference in responses (lack of made up citations): while earlier it was merely a feeling of mine that chatGPT was getting 'worse' somehow. And I feel the loss of a fairly useful tool. Consequently I am voting with my wallet.

Thanks, I do intend to explore the API when I have time. For now, ChatGPT was the lowest 'effort' (just throw money at it) in terms of exploring/leveraging LLMs. I sincerely hope the API exposes the real gpt, I read a twitter thread about a new content-filtering attributes being introduced in the response
At that point, how big is the difference really between sending the right pane only as opposed to the whole page performance wise?
I'm just not sure if this approach is worth it for me.
That's what I thought might happen. Reopen, but moderate in a stupid way which is compliant with the Reddit ToS but which devalues the platform. Only remove sitewide content violations while allowing all kinds off topic and garbage content.
i dont know about the automobile lobby but public transit projects have suffered from corruption mismanagement and awful planning as well.
It’s a pointless comparison. LLMs aren't as smart as anyone because they aren't "smart" at all.

Is a computer that can multiply two really big numbers smarter than a dog? Or a human for that matter? Because we sure can't do that.
No, unfortunately, because I would actually want infinite scrolling.
I agree with this sentiment but in this case if he’s paying his own salary he’d end up net losing on taxes. If he is going to pay, I’d consider it a loan to the company that will later be paid back with interest to be fair.

I have two main reddit accounts, one subscribed to "serious" discussion-focused subreddits, and another to all the meme picture-heavy subreddits. The latter's frontpage is mostly OK but the former's is completely desolate.
That is interesting. Would you say your empathy increased after having children?
I'm with you. I don't care. I prefer merging but if someone insists on rebase + squash commit I don't care because it doesn't make a difference.

Sometimes I'll tell a rebase person that if they don't like merge commits they can use git log --no-merges and you won't see merges. The majority of people I come across who prefer rebase for "clean history" reasons don't know this.

If you truly understand the difference between rebase and merge you'll come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what you use.
No, because GP is arguing that, even though window offices are status symbols, working next to a window has issues (heat/light) that often results in people covering the windows. Better to put common areas like walkways near windows.
Well that’s easy. Kill open source models by requiring all sorts of expensive compliance from the model provider. Ta-da! Google has a moat.

Update from Lemmy after the Reddit blackout
> public shareholders do not actually invest in the productive assets of corporations, because most purchase shares from other shareholders, and the capital “invested” never actually reaches the corporation.

Oh, not this argument again. How much less willing would the initial investors be to invest if they knew no one would ever buy their shares from them?

Secondary share purchases are absolutely part of the overall investing ecosystem, just as secondary house purchases support the initial sales of (and therefore the building of) houses.

I’m still Catholic too, and your argument doesn’t hold water.

From the first century A.D. to the present, the Church has cared about holding true to the Apostolic tradition, which includes teachings re: how to treat others as well how to worship God.
Does that term really apply to this? You can modify and distribute the source. The only thing you can't do is sell it.
"You tell me" is flippant and reduces your chances of leniency.

"Yes" could be used as evidence that your speeding was wilful, which probably isn't that bad but know that you're still giving them something.

I think "I believe so" or "pretty sure" was my go-to, but it's been a long time since I've been pulled over.

I actually don't even know that most cops actually ask this question. I think "do you know why I pulled you over?" is more common. To which you can often say "no" since you have no idea what actually went on in their head, but you might want something like "I can guess?" if you want to own up to some egregious action and show you were at least aware that it was wrong rather than acting as if you just drive like that all the time. But I can't tell if this is my real life experience or too many imagined interactions from message board discussions.

BTW "not that I'm aware of" when asked about weapons in the car etc. It shows that I'm aware of the technicalities and lawyerly answers (I don't know what they consider a weapon), but also engaging with them and their concerns.
That's fine? Imagine how much nicer their commutes will be when all those urbanites aren't sharing the roads at rush hour and building suburban sprawl on every hill within 50 miles. Win-win for everybody.

I think that the author implicitly relies on the unstated assumption that for business related databases the vast majority of non-integer data is money (which is quite well served by fixed point arithmetic with limited precision) and any other measurements are quite rare. Often it is a reasonable assumption, but not always, so if the author was explicit about this, that would preempt this discussion
Federation has too many major UX issues that don't seem to have easy solutions. Even email, the oldest example, is becoming more centralised. Users would rather hop platforms to use the centralized platform of the year over using some complex gnu social media.

This actually is very true, especially in a country like India. Most offices in India have much better facilities and amenities than most employees' home - better chairs which comes under 'health of the employee', free and/or reimbursable dinner after office-hour, etc. etc.

I'm not trying to forget the many others such as growth and challening opportunities for the super-smart ones, those yearning to get away from the mega-corps' monotonous grind.
Here you see the results of trying to filter a very advanced model with a much simpler one. It can't work, the filter model is too crude. Of course the real goal isn't to prevent copyright infringement but to prevent copyright infringement lawsuits, which is at least a good start.

You really need an AI-level model to prevent the infringement... although that can pose it's own risks... https://youtu.be/-JlxuQ7tPgQ

That could be it but his other videos recently have been over-long too. Paraphrasing:

What's helped me much more lately is undotree for vim [1]. It basically logs every single time a file is saved. Its much more useful because commits have to be made by humans and they may not do it often (and usually there is an incentive for "clean or working commits"). There have been many times where I went back to copy something from the undotree.

The problem is that "smart" is overly broad for this discussion. We need to be much more precise. Clearly some LLMs have far greater reasoning ability or poetry writing skills than dogs.

But also LLMs don't possess many types of cognition that are fundamental abilities of animals. Such as visual/spatial modalities (although some models are multimodal -- still not in the same way animals are).

But none of that means that LLMs can't be extremely useful.
2 questions:

- Is there a modern version of the CSS Zen Garden? https://www.csszengarden.com/ is very old

- From people who know CSS better than I do, do these features make TailwindCSS less useful / necessary? Though I'm sure much of the answer is "TailwindCSS is a different paradigm" since it's basically inline styles, and CSS is basically non-inline styles.

Nothing crazy - though I have studied 'startup' methodology and worked in some which has helped shape my opinions.

For example, learning to pitch a startup is valuable IMO. At the start it doesn't seem to make much sense - why these details, but not others... but by the end you start to understand the questions investors want answered:

1) What is the problem?

2) What is your solution?

3) How do you make money?

4) How much money could you make?

5) Are you the right people to actually build this?

6) What is this going to cost to invest in?

https://www.ycombinator.com/library/2u-how-to-build-your-see...

The rest of it is from running a business, and understanding that businesses need a way to attract customers (typically paid) and idealy make, or have a plan to make, more money than it costs to aquire and service a customer.
