Imagine your phone carrier starts listening in on your phone calls, and they decide certain ideas are not allowed so they block you from using your phone. Is the response "well you can build your own phone service and talk with people there".

Yes, they're a private company, but large social media companies are large because the public is on them... and they are leveraging this power to censor and shape public opinion. It's arguably a huge amount of power that should be regulated to protect the public from corporate abuse.
Funny to see this here.

For anyone wondering: Although most people find the theory to be intuitively sensible, it is hard to test empirically due to its micro-macro links (individuals to society). So far, there are no conclusive studies showing that the phenomenon exists robustly.

Some notable criticisms include the complete omission of interpersonal and group influences and the assumption that people behave privately (e.g. in the voting booth) as if they were judged in a social setting.

So, really fascinating and useful, but nothing to base your system of belief on.
YES, 100%! I honestly, cannot agree more. I've read pretty much every book that I could get my hands on and no one talks about the platform. This makes so much sense. Thank you for your perspective. It seems like so much of this stuff is silod off into each company and no one is talking about it.

HFTs are definitely playing a completely different game. I was reading about the exchange architectures and how things are actually wired. I'm getting my data from SIPs while HTFs are directly connected to the exchanges [1]. I'm transacting in seconds and they, like you said, are transacting in microseconds, so there is no comparison. Which, in a way is actually nice in that I'm not really competing with them. Or, maybe I am but I can still make some money. haha.

Cheers and thanks for the awesome comment!

Incorrectly identifying logical fallacies doesn't answer my question.

The path arriving to the outcomes is different, but the outcomes are the same. My question is what, exactly, is the distinction because I struggle to see one.

More concretely, if someone took a COVID vaccine and had a terrible allergic reaction, doctors will strongly advise against further vaccination. Should that person's immutable physical traits justify discrimination against them?
nitter is having all kinds of issues. My personal instance decided to go into a restart loop and I had to kill it.

> it's fair to compel people to do things they don't want to do

But that is what underpins the concept of business.

A set of restrictions on what activities a business can do and how they interact with society.

To get shocked when society wants to prevent discrimination seems odd.
If you thought you could install RHEL packages on SLES, what did you think the difference between RHEL and SLES was?

Also I'm not sure what "new" or "existing" users have to do with it. I've never used RHEL so I'm technically a new RHEL user, but I don't have the misconception that distro packages are interchangeable.

Speed, Eurovision voting triumph, and a bit of history: Alan Turing 101
Honestly, I had this exact same attitude before my last home purchase. We began by assuming that Redfin was good enough. By the time the deal closed, we really appreciated what an experienced agent with at least a vague awareness of real-estate law could do. When the FSBO seller tried to back out at the last minute, our (obviously motivated) buyer's agent was able to set him straight. Without his help, I'm certain the situation would have turned into a nightmare scenario involving actual lawyers.

That doesn't mean I won't try the easy/cheap way first next time, but it does mean I no longer dismiss all realtors as useless parasites who need to be "disrupted" at all costs.
> In the beginning, they were inspired and immunized by the US's anti-Muslim fervor during the GWB invasions (we were not only not criticizing, but probably even sharing intelligence with China.)

Yeah, seems to be overlooked quite a lot since it's convenient for the US narrative lately.

> Starting in 2002, the American government detained 22 Uyghurs in the Guantanamo Bay detainment camp. The last 3 Uyghur detainees, Yusef Abbas, Hajiakbar Abdulghupur and Saidullah Khalik, were released from Guantanamo on December 29, 2013, and later transferred to Slovakia.

> None of the Uyghurs wanted to be returned to China. The United States declined to grant the Uyghurs political asylum, or to allow them parole, or even freedom on the Naval Base.

> A May 2008 report by the Inspector General of the United States Department of Justice claimed that American military interrogators appeared to have collaborated with visiting Chinese officials at Guantánamo Bay to enact sleep deprivation of the Uyghur detainees.

Many of them are veritable horrors, but I find Malcolm's staircase somewhat interesting.
It says "[the Secretary] may waive or modify any statutory or regulatory provision applicable to the student financial assistance programs under title IV of the [Education Act] as the Secretary deems necessary in connection with a war or other military operation or national emergency."

So "waive or modify" refers to a regulatory provision of the loans, not the loans themselves. This makes it far less convincing that Congress intended for the loans themselves to be waived.

I'm not sure if I've had these exact experiences, but something related perhaps, albeit milder. When I was in my early twenties I consumed a lot of cannabis in the form of hash cakes one night and it triggered a panic attack. What was scary about the panic attack was this feeling of the world around me feeling dreamlike, or like I was in a dream I couldn't wake up from. It was like there's normally this safe ground we all walk on, and we don't know its even there, and that implicit feeling we all carry with us can drift away. It wasn't psychosis, I think it was just a by-product of anxiety, which in itself is a very mind altering experience. If you've ever had a panic attack or experienced severe anxiety states you'll know what I mean. It's effectively a bad trip, your perception is altered by the cortisol and adrenaline coursing through your brain and the resulting mental exhaustion and depressed emotions that can arise alongside it.

I was predisposed to anxiety already, and I think this experience led me into developing mild to moderate panic disorder which was driven by fear of experiencing this state again. So it become a vicious circle. A fear of fear which, ironically, became a trigger for the feared thing. I believe it was made worse by my highly philosophical brain, and a deep immersion in existential philosophies. In particular Buddhism. So I was already used to a worldview which was challenging existentially let's say. Looking back, I was probably too young at the time, and maybe too anxious, to be immersed in all this naval gazing given my mental health.

Decades later I'm OK, but I have residual panic feelings surfacing sometimes. The difference now is that I don't identify with them, I just see them as fleeting feelings producing a distorted sense of reality. The secret with anxiety, for me at least, is to not care if you feel anxious and to let it pass.
> I don't think it's fair to compel people to do things they don't want to do.

That reads to me as "I don't think laws are fair and people should be able to do whatever they want to do."

I don't want to pay taxes, I don't want to pay my bills, and I don't want to have to wait to be sober to drive, but I do it all anyways because the law compels me.

Funny thing is, shortly after Musk took over, they "made an effort" to spend some pennies on removing the login wall. Wasn't that related to this George Hotz personality?

Whatever, I am not especially surprised by any part of how this played out.

But I'd still like to say: 1984 is treated as an instruction manual today for tech marketing. And of course sadly and increasingly for politics, when democracy has often been reduced to a competition for the most convincing lie.

Users are trapped.

For a while, there was no login wall anymore...

You may also simply have much better memory of author names and works titles than I or others have. I often can't quote a name on the spot even when I vividly remember the book (or movie, or track). Or be much earlier in your reading career.

For me these lists (which I regret starting far too late in my own reading career) now cover about 9000 items.

For me the prompt to starting the process was noticing that I was again and again giving a chance to really terrible authors. That had to stop. And it did.
"Performance was competitive with our existing A100 systems. We profiled training throughput of MPT models from 1B to 13B parameters and found that the per-GPU throughput of MI250 was within 80% of the A100-40GB and within 73% of the A100-80GB. We expect this gap will close as AMD software improves. "

Explore Bluesky social network without invitation
Bluesky recently gained a lot of media attention, but is still invite only.

If you want to already explore the network while sitting on the waitlist, here is a small trick:
The SPXP bridge is already handling the AT protocol! You can use it to explore the network via SPXP, for example Jack's account:
https://bridge.spxp.org/at/@jack.bsky.social

You can either hop through the json data in a web browser (Firefox works best) or use a mobile client like the https://heyfolks.app. It even suggests a couple of Bluesky accounts to follow on initial setup.

Not only are the platforms table stakes they are the more straightforward part to build. Even at the bleeding edge of latency you can usually work your way to the limits of your platform budget without having to find anything novel.

The strategies though are where the discovery is. There are a few strategies that are well known and still profitable but those are largely consolidated to the biggest firms. For everything else it’s a discovery process. And done strategies are only profitable for very short regimes.

I miss it sometimes too, but so much has been consolidated it’s largely a big firm world now.
(author here) one of my ideas of research for this blogpost was to actually ask a few employer friends who want to hire AI Engineers for a job description, and then put out a generic JD that people can use and clone (kind of a SAFE for AI Engineers if you think about it). however I feel like it is too early still to prescribe something. I'll maybe put up a strawman for the conference and would love feedback then.
I had a friend of mine get his house inspected when buying, they never found (so apparently didn't plug a tester into it) multiple loose plugs, didn't note the plumbing line wrapped in an inch thick of electrical tape for a leak, and said the roof was inspected for leaks and "certified" for atleast a year but told 5 years it would need a replacement. When their kitchen ceiling started bubbling a year in I went up into the attic space and it was clear the roof had been leaking since before they bought it by the stains and mold it left on the wood. It was a complete joke of an inspection, and what makes it worse is none of that was hard to access. The attic space was accessible from the garage area with no ceiling and was easily walkable with 10 ft+ height, the loose plugs were in the living room and in plain view right when you walk in, and the taped up pipe was 15 feet into a concrete basement with a mere glance upward. Not to mention the other laundry list of items that weren't broken really but should have been noted by an inspector doing their job.

They tried to get the inspector for the obvious bullshit roof inspection but after getting ran around multiple times to the point of needing to hire lawyer to go any further. But eventually dropped it when some roofing company came by and offered to do the roof for "free" through their insurance because of supposed hail damage in the area that basically replaced half the roofs in the town. That too was probably a scam on the insurance by the roofers because we never had big enough hail for damage, but they weren't going to complain about a free new shingle job.

TL;DR Don't just grab any random inspector, and especially never take recommendations from anybody connected to real estate.

Reddit's owned by the Chinese? I thought they were owned by a US-based conglomerate called Advance Publications, which is the same group that owns Conde Nast.
>That isn't the loop.

Unfortunately, you're right, that isn't the loop. Any new tech is also the novel weapon of tomorrow. I can't even think of a counter-example.
Red Hat didn't get to a billion dollar business on the back of not "needing it for an awful lot of use cases". We may not see it since we're developers reading HN, where it's all about the latest tech stack, but those 13 years if support are a huge money maker for Red Hat. They'd do 15 and 20 if their engineers wouldn't revolt. Outside of sexy tech is companies that want really really really stable, don't ever want to upgrade, and can afford to pay not to, until the very end. Hence that whole Y2K rush to update software.

There's a ton of Python 2 code still out there that won't get updated to 3 if it can be helped.

There’s also a tool called a tick twister that is supposed to get them around the neck and twist them out. Like flat tweezers that you slide along your skin so you don’t accidentally squeeze the body. If I understand correctly they have flexible spines/barbs on their head which is what can keep the head in if you pull without twisting. When you twist the spines lay down and so the tick slips right out intact. That’s the marketing behind the tool anyway.
I've never been able to get a tick off with alcohol.

>I'm not entirely sure what we're supposed to take from this. Are you saying that they are not actually AI experts, and we're returning to the claim that only people who do not understand the tech are concerned about these risks? That's a stretch.

The point could be that they are legitimate AI experts, but narrow-minded: their thinking utilitarian, their reasoning motivated. Unlike the original inventor, whose thinking was abstract enough to originate a novel method, but at the same time not pragmatic enough to even get the credit that he is owed. It's not an entirely unfamiliar scenario in tech, is it?

An analogy for those people would be an engineer who designs machine guns, or fighter planes. They may be really great at figuring out how to make the gun shoot farther, or the plane fly faster. At the same time, they may not have a very good grip on the idea that, in the end, someone's gonna get killed by their invention.

Such an engineer will probably have a pretty decent rationalization that would enable them to keep getting paid for doing what they love: inventing these fun machines for throwing bits of lead across the air and/or flying around. Whoosh!
