maybe another way around it is, 'do I really need it' -> 'and what that need is? how do I create a need for it?'. for language, that could be - applying that language. finding something that you do want to apply it to, that really gets you going and gives you joy. like, talking to someone, watching someone, listening to them talk, watching a stream, trying to talk to someone on that stream, reading, watching some piece of entertainment, in that language. and creating that 'need' for a 'want', and a 'want' itself - 'i want to watch those things and interact and chat with people - so i need language knowledge for that.' and maybe that could move it a bit closer. finding those bits that you might 'want' more readily - and then have those things move your goals into more of a 'need and want' zone, where you'd be both feeling a need of something more tangibly, and feel the joy in those things and possibilities of them more acutely and have that draw you in to do something.

and maybe it's also eh, it's counterproductive, but maybe it's fine to just have those curiosities - and have them just be that. even if it's kinda 'non-committal'
- maybe that's just kinda the dynamic for it, and that's alright. maybe some knowledge of language is just fine, and it's gonna be enough for watching or chatting, and it could be just those little bits of 'knowledge gain' where you look something up (like a word, definition, etc.) as you come across it, and amass some knowledge that way. this - does not help with 'how to do the thing', but hey - maybe there's also isn't really a need to beat yourself down over it either, over some 'thing about it you don't really want to do' when maybe it's just fine without it. (cause maybe that thing could be a buzzkiller that sucks the joy out of it, only further deterring you from it)

LLM knowledge has to be spoiled first before "human" knowledge can be.

Since "humans" are already aware that this is happening, I'm not going to lose too much sleep over humans forgetting how to unplug these bullshit generators once they are proven to be largely unreliable.

And they're almost certain to become less reliable as they start feeding on each others bullshit pulled from the internet.

So a more likely outcome in my judgment --- the internet will just be further spoiled as a reliable source of factual info.
Mistral is getting a fair amount of bad press and unfair criticism. As an EU citizen, I am glad to see this initiative.

I am worried by a couple things, however:

- their market is not EU, but France: soon enough, UK and Germany will have their own Mistral. Each will have trivial access to their country's market (if only through politic backing) but accessing the neighbor's market will be an uphill battle.

- they are just helping EU play catch-up, not be at the forefront. Like sama said in a recent tweet: "the most special thing about openai is the culture of repeatable innovation. it is relatively easy to copy something; it’s hard to do something for the first time. it’s really hard to do many things for the first time!"

I think the article is saying that the decision whether or not to audit is not a function of race, but black people are more likely to file certain kinds of returns (eg with earned-income tax credit) and those kinds of returns are more likely to get audited because they're more likely to contain mistakes. I wouldn't call this "racial bias" at all.
>If Apple Vision was the form factor of a pair of sunglasses (more like what xreal is doing) then I wouldn't be so critical.

I have no idea when/if the technology will get there but a HUD in a fairly ordinary-looking pair of glasses you could wear on the street seems potentially interesting. I'll keep an open mind about the Vision Pro but the use cases I've seen don't seem super-compelling to me--at least at this point.
Interesting take. I do agree there's some visual noise there, but not how you described it. UUID just takes so much screen space compared to its integer counterpart. If you don't have a good UI sorting things out it's quite annoying. Otherwise it's pretty great.
Could the Vision pro just track you based on your environment rather than the accelerometer while on a plane? That would prevent any kind of drift. If that R1 chips is as fast as they say then that doesn’t seem unreasonable.
When offering alternatives to abortion get demonized you have to wonder what this is all really about.

And abortion is never demonized by the anti-abortion groups? Absurd.
Agreed, it's somewhat hysterical reporting (but hey, blame the consumers, they're the ones that click on those headlines). However, in the end it is still pretty interesting that they are focused on looking for fraud at the lower end of the income spectrum rather than the higher end where I imagine the risk/reward ratio is much higher... if the IRS sends a claims letter to a poor family for 1k, they'll probably pay it or not have a way to fight it. If the IRS sends a claims letter to a wealthy person for 100K, they're going up against accountants and tax lawyers who are probably better equipped than the IRS itself.

I feel like people make getting an offshore account sound easier than it is. I live in the US, and when I opened my US accounts, I needed to give them my SSN. Canadians don't have SSNs.

I'm not saying it should be easier either. When you're dealing with state-issued currencies there are reasons for those restrictions. But the draw of bitcoin is that it's politically neutral and you don't need to jump through the hoops of any particular country, or hire a lawyer to navigate foreign laws.

Not mutually exclusive. Europe can get pretty crazy with their takes. Outright bans on things because they disrupt the status quo is the norm.

I believe the author is more implying the morality of such restrictions, not their legality. It seems to me in the vein of the argument of MLK's argument of just vs unjust laws

From "Letter from Birmingham Jail":

> An unjust law is a code that a majority inflicts on a minority that is not binding on itself. This is difference made legal. On the other hand a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal. Let me give another explanation. An unjust law is a code inflicted upon a minority which that minority had no part in enacting or creating because they did not have the unhampered right to vote.
It's all language, isn't it?

I personally have never done anything remotely morally controversial with cryptocurrency. All taxes paid, no drugs.

But I've almost certainly engaged in "money laundering" because it doesn't seem to be a well defined concept. It seems to me that the idea is that normal peer to peer interaction has to be regulated and reported. We need passport scans and logs of previous transactions and all of that stuff.

I wouldn't even say that I don't agree with that - I just don't do it. I'm yet to be given a real explanation for why AML and other nonsense should exist beyond "that's just how it is".
Ditto Apple Watch and iPad.
I know machinists and welders. Some of them just want a blueprint and will make what you want to that spec. Some of them want to be told "make this part fit on this other part", and they get to make up the bracket that fits. There is a place for both. One is basic and easy to automate - but often it turns out the costs of setting up automation is higher than the cost of paying someone to do the production run. The other is hands on engineering and needs some engineering knowledge.
Those USB ports probably don't supply more than 5W. You almost certainly need a full 120V outlet. These do exist on planes, though, just not all.

Thorough notes by containerd maintainer Akihiro Suda (NTT)
We use Auth0 which determines when to show a captcha, I think "Smarter Captcha" should be the industry standard. If you don't suspect the end-user being a bad actor, why show them a captcha every time. In fact, Google's Captcha is awful for literally almost always showing it, tells you they dont care about stopping bots, only the data they get from user inputs.

Edit: And come to think of it, A TON of websites do "smarter captcha" or whatever you want to call it, because in one of my computer I enabled the resist fingerprinting setting on Firefox, and I get a captcha every visit on some sites that NEVER show a captcha (I think it might be cloudflare driven, but unsure). Like Walmart comes to mind, it shows me a pill looking thing where I have to hold the mouse click until it fills.
When I was seven years old, my mom got ensnared by a door-to-door World Book encyclopedia sales pitch.

That set, in turn, ensnared me. It was the closest thing in the 1970s to today's internet. I could look up almost any topic that came to mind. I could research any topic we were learning in grade school. When I was bored, I could flip through any volume and learn about whatever subject happened to present itself. I still remember the acetate sheets separating the human body into skeletal, muscular, nervous, and digestive layers. I remember the beautiful drawings of sea creatures. I even remember article typefaces.

Maybe I'd have figured this out anyway, but those encyclopedia gave me the lifelong habit of assuming that answers were out there, if you had the ability and desire to go find them. They also sparked a love of reading for fun.
> a little bit of survivor ship bias at play

I am not sure why you are focusing on "survivor bias". My comment was about being a programmer and the fun of seeing a new technology that is an undefined territory to explore.

But I did directly mention that many of these do not workout as as I referenced: amiga, os/2, palm, and VisiCalc and Lotus 123

However, so that you may have some idea of my personal "survivor bias", here is a super simplified multi-dimension history of my over 43 years of computing smashed into a linear list with massive things forgotten:

TRS-80 Model III, LDOS, BASIC, VisiCalc,
modem-to-modem
TRS-80 Model 100
CompuServe
MS-DOS compatible, MultiPlan, TurboPascal, dBase
Windows 3.0
DesqView
Delphi Online
OS/2, REXX
Macintosh System 7 --> 1993 to OS X
Dial-up ISP
Solaris, Perl
BBEdit
Windows 95
Palm Pilot
Linux for Servers --> 1998 to Today
Linux Desktop
ColdFusion
Apache
Python --> 1999 to Today
Always on Internet (ISDN, DSL, Cable) --> 2004 to Today
Nokia cellphones
PHP
Zope/Plone
Mac OS X --> BETA to Today
Windows XP
Nginx
iPhone --> 2009 to Today
SublimeText
Windows 10 --> 2018 to Today
VS Code --> 2018 to Today
NodeJS --> 2018 to Today
SvelteKit --> 2021 to Today
KDE Neon --> 2022 to Today (the year of Desktop Linux arrived for me)

The longest thread is from 1993 to Today is what is now known as macOS, but for about the first 15 years of my usage Apple was considered at risk of failure. MS Windows was always a part of my world, but seldom my primary focus, it has only been since 2018 that I use it on an extended daily basis. Some of the above are clearly dead. Some I still use lightly (Nginx, BBEdit) but are no longer the focal point of my work.

As far as Apple's Vision Pro, I have no clue if it will be successful. For myself personally, it is the first headset I am even interested in playing with.

y = number;
i = * ( long * ) &y; // evil floating point bit level hacking
i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 ); // what the fuck?
y = * ( float * ) &i;
y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); // 1st iteration
// y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) ); // 2nd iteration, this can be removed

return y;
}
Please note that "Tivoisation" isn't what Tivo actually did and both the GPLv2 and GPLv3 ban "Tivoisation" but allow what Tivo actually did. "Tivoisation" as it is popularly known refers to blocking the running of modified GPL code, while what Tivo actually did was block running their proprietary software (their UI etc) on top of modified GPL code (here Linux). Both GPL versions block the former while allowing the latter. At least according to Software Freedom Conservancy.

This is not inaccurate. I still hate typing on my phone compared to something with a real keyboard. It’s that the benefits of a touch interface massively outweigh the negatives.
Boy, talk about the pot calling the kettle black. You twisting the definition of "healthcare" to only mean abortion is just as bad. "Healthcare" to a teen on the fence might mean EXACTLY looking for an agency that can help them deliver and give the baby up for adoption.
Then he should use the right word. Illegal means illegal, not immoral.
Again, due to the arbitration here, and not being a class action lawsuit the 'Courts' don't decide anything

absolutely disgusting, you're telling me that you don't want to be stalked 24/7? that you don't want the whole world to know everything you're doing? how dare you imply that you're a human being and that privacy is one of the most important rights you have? now dance monkey, dance /s

If "anti-abortion businesses" are about "pressuring people..." by merely providing an alternative to ending the life of an innocent human being then by implication "abortion businesses" would be about pressuring women to end the life. Of course I know you'd contest that, but that's because of an inconsistency. Even if you disagree with the pro-life view that all humans have a right to life, which is what supporting abortion necessarily implies, you still cannot reasonably say that providing mothers with support is a bad thing.

>if Apple thinks they can pull this off, then liklier than not, considering what they've done in the past, they probably can.

Or you can consider an even longer past; has any company in history ever been able to consistently "hit-it-out-of-the-park" with products? Or is there an element of luck here that distributes these things.

In other words, does one game-changing innovation make it more likely or less likely to produce a second?
Prices in Germany and Austria are not that much lower for handymen and locksmiths, unless you already have "a guy".

Ultimately it's supply and demand. It's the consequence of everyone wanting to be a latte sipping WFH laptop worker, instead of a contractor/handyman.

Also, worth considering that locksmiths charge crazy money because they basically work shit hours and have to deal with shitty customers. You're basically on call 24/7, on the road a lot, and most of your customers who call you are party people who realize they lost their keys when they get home from the bar/club at 2AM on a Saturday night/Sunday morning and call you desperately trying to get into their house, and once you do open their door they start to bitch, moan and can even get aggressive refusing to pay, because you're charging too much money for "5 minutes of work". Sure, maybe you make a solid thousand Euros that night, but you basically fucked your weekend. Not great work/life balance IMHO, which is why not so many do it.
Do those complaint about the racial bais in the way the IRS set up their systems propose changing the set up? For EITC I would imagine the IRS does simple date, math, and duplicate checking. Should the IRS turn these checks off for equity reasons?

What exactly do you find "reckless disingenuity" about referring to an abortion as healthcare? Nothing about that signals recklessness. Healthcare can refer to "skin tag removal" as you mentioned, it can also refer to cancer treatments, emergency surgery, etc.

Bosses’ New Task Is Figuring Out Who’s High at Work
Back when I had my public account, I posted a link to my work. Someone found my personal twitter, went back a few years, and saw I made a joke about obesity.

The entire thread flipped on me.

Since I've been hyperconscious to separate the work people accomplish from the organic thing that did the work. If not for that event, I'd still be using that account and I'd be critical of people who do 'bad' stuff on their off-time.
