Funny that these kind of people don’t really disagree with Chomsky on a lot of things. There is a book On Target which is an official USAF of the first Gulf war and in the preface it explained that Saddam Hussein was driven to invade Kuwait because of debt, he figured his debt to Kuwait would be annulled and he could use oil money from Kuwait to pay off the rest, the kind of explanation you’d expect from Chomsky.
Musk has also been deferential to catturd2 and banned journalists for imagined crimes.

I actually think this feature would be fine if implemented better. GPT-4 is perfectly capable of accurately explaining what a short code block does if you prompt it with relevant documentation… which MDN has in abundance, but isn’t using, for some reason.

The mistakes seem to be (1) using GPT 3.5 instead because it’s cost effective, even though GPT 3.5 has severe issues with hallucination, and (2) not including context from the surrounding article into the prompt.

Also, since I assume MDN has a finite number of things that need explaining, why not let users mark an AI explanation as wrong, and submit their own corrected versions?

I'm looking at changing roles at my current job, positions are few and far between right now, especially for the area in which I want to live.

I've been scouring the internal job board, which is just a version of the external board with extra internal information attached, and all the promising jobs seem to have a notice plastered on them that says:

"THIS NOTICE IS BEING FILED AS A RESULT OF THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FOR PERMANENT ALIEN LABOR CERTIFICATION. ANY PERSON MAY PROVIDE DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE BEARING ON THE APPLICATION TO THE REGIONAL CERTIFYING OFFICER OF THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR."

When I apply for them I never hear anything back.

I don't really know what that notice means, but I am a citizen and really want (and am more than qualified for) the jobs they are posted under.

It's always possible to remove democracy democratically. But the (legal) mechanism for doing this is made difficult on purpose, and rightly so. It's usually going to require a constitutional amendment, which requires a supermajority or referendum or something, not just a simple majority vote as if we are passing laws on mundane things like parking tickets. That's good, because it should be hard to remove people's fundamental rights on a whim during a temporary wave of hysteria and passion. Democracies have these safeguards to make it difficult on purpose.
Aren't MMOs usually on the lower end of graphical fidelity? A lot of them are quite old at this point. RuneScape runs great for example.

This seems like a major limitation and pretty antithetical to the PyTorch approach.
> The delegation of authority happened in 2003. It was broad.

It wasn't this broad.

> The delegated authority had been exercised before.

Never this broadly.

The reality is that this was a huge overstep by the administration. The majority is correct.
There is a failure of technology too. The internet is distributed, sure, but the server-client architecture puts all the operational burden on the server. The expectation that everyone will run their own internet exposed instance of any thing is still simply not feasible, even today. The operational complexity of security, availability, monitoring etc are unmanageable even for technical users. Back when smaller forums were popular, hearing of a forum getting hacked was pretty much the norm. They get hacked, they go down for few days, they come back from a backup losing few days or hours of data, and on to the next vbulletin. Phpbb, nuke, or whatever vulnerability/hack. There doesn’t yet exist a distributed system that can replace something like facebook, twitter, Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, instagram, or even WhatsApp without a significant operational burden or added complexity.

It’s also not a very interesting problem to solve because of the type of cliffs you will run into due to precisely how the “internet works”
There's no way mackerel are unsustainable, unqualified.

Maybe not at present net-dragging prices, but I've been mackereling a couple of times, with crab lines trailing off the back (while we headed to a deeper spot for rod fishing), absolute easiest fishing imaginable, it doesn't qualify as sport. Some 'bycatch', but only other edibles like swordfish. And of course fishing like that you can set them free if not desired anyway.

Depending on season I can't really imagine it could be much more expensive. Afaict the only reason there isn't more commercial action from small boats is the competition from big trawlers. If you eat mackerel at an independent restaurant in a coastal town on the UK I think there's a good chance it's a local catch by a local fisherman. They're just not going to get the bigger contracts, nor pieces of them when they can be filled in total by a bigger operation.
What were the Supreme Courts reasons for deeming this unconstitutional?
Centralisation vs decentralisation in tech is pretty much irrelevant.

What is relevant is governance. We allow billionaires and venture capitalists to govern a commons that we all rely on. Surprise surprise, it isn't going well.

The solution is not to have (difficult to scale) federated alternatives. The solution is collective ownership.

Imagine for a moment that the multinationals that are increasingly in charge of our lives were owned by their customers. Imagine they had a fair electoral system, reflecting the variety of those users, limiting them to one person, one vote, and that their constitutions were designed to guarantee the rights of minorities.

The journey that most countries went on through the 20th and 21st centuries, in other words.

Tech giants and other multinationals are a different kind of beast, because they govern a little slice of our lives instead of having carte blanche. But it is not beyond the realm of possibility for democratically operated multinationals to exist. It will be hard to do, but IMO, that approach has a bright future because non-techies can grasp it and participate in it more easily, and that is one less barrier to a runaway network effect than the fediverse has.

I think you're right that Go's current approach is similarly fine as the other ecosystems with basically fine approaches.

> Denies that the subject even came up with Western representatives, Warsaw Pact leaders or Communist Party leadership.

Please don’t lie. Der Spiegel mentions Hans-Dietrich Genscher who said that “NATO will not expand to the east”—who is also mentioned in my link of course—and then Shevardnadze says that:

> Eventually, we agreed that a united Germany could be part of NATO under certain conditions. […] AN EXPANSION OF NATO BEYOND GERMANY’S BORDERS WAS OUT OF THE QUESTION.

All-caps is mine since people seem to be hard of hearing or something.

> As he points out, nobody foresaw collapse of Warsaw Pact, so there was simply no reason to discuss anything like it.

Oof, such a nice attempt at muddying the waters.

The intro question does not question the fact that NATO expansion was discussed at all (on the contrary it confirms it); it only asks why it wasn’t demanded in writing.

> So why didn't you get this commitment from NATO on paper?

Which was already indirectly stated by myself (I said “oral agreement, which I’m sure you can nitpick to death as well).[1]

So I see that you are trying to conflate the fact that non-expansion was assented to verbally with the apparent totally unrelated fact that Soviet bigwigs didn’t see the point of worrying themselves about getting any actual guarantees from the Western elites since apparently (them being short-sighted, or not-caring) that wasn’t a real threat or concern to them.

These things are completely unrelated. Shevardnadze has, through that interview, affirmed that the Westerners talked to them about non-expansion of NATO. And yet here you come and blurt out that he either wasn’t concerned about NATO expansion, isn’t concerned right now, or both. Huh? That doesn’t contradict anything that I’ve said and is just completely irrelevant.

Been over for a long time. We've had a lot of consolidation into Reddit (which, you can browse mostly anonymously, it will just beg you to death to log in unless you use the old site); and we've also had a mountain of consolidation into Discord (the most unsearchable system ever designed).

People stopped hosting their own forums. Frankly, it's hard to not see why. The constant spam and people avoiding bans wasn't helpful - and modern forum software like Discourse is pure agony to set up and maintain if you don't know what you are doing. Not that forum software hasn't always been hard to set up, but the modern software stacks are particularly hard to manage. Also, what normal people see as good UX, in my experience, almost completely does not match what computer engineers and the average open-source contributor sees as good UX.
Curious about the context here. I know there are a lot of Brazilians in here but there seems to be more here.

It depends. If you are right-wing, this was actually a very much great day: Bolsonaro is the worst candidate the right has ever produced in Brazil, and his removal from the next elections make it almost guaranteed that the left will not take it again.

If you are left-wing, this was actually a terrible day. If you disagree, you are not paying attention.
If literally 100% of Americans are voting to make Charles III their President, that 100% must include Congress unanimously voting to approve the constitutional amendment to make him eligible to run for President, and all the state legislatures voting to ratify it. If any of them vote against that amendment, then your premise that 100% of Americans vote for him would be false.

I see. When you say 'agnostic SQL', which data types or features do you usually have to give up? Also, do mixed-type comparisons ever get in the way, as these are usually handled differently in Postgres vs SQLite vs MariaDB -- for example, `1='1'` returns `true` in MariaDB (or even Postgres) but `false` in SQLite.
It's that old tradeoff - convenience vs. single point of failure. Unfortunately, we're getting to see now what that single point of failure does to us. A big chunk of the open web is winking out of existence at this very moment.
I don’t have time to reply properly until a few hours from now.

In the meantime what I can say very simply in the hope that someone else knowledgeable can contribute earlier.

It’s simply an empirical fact that the costs of intermediation to the system are the lowest they have ever been. The US and other global electronic markets are incredibly efficient and deliver unmatched liquidity, information efficiency, and the lowest costs to the entire capital markets than at anytime in history. That march forward is continuous and brutally competitive

There are many many way to see this and measure it, any serious quantitative analysis, by professionals, for instance trained in econometrics and with access to the raw data, like those at say the Fed, or those operating exchanges, as examples.
They should definitely still rush over in SWAT gear, but before going in guns blazing, they should verify what the situation is. They should assume the call may be fake until it’s proven real. More recon would probably reveal that something doesn’t add up in most of these situations.
The next step in the adblocker-blocker wars will be something like the Firefox ublock origin plugin that instead of blocking the ad, accepts it and plays it (looking to the httpd on the other end like the data transfer has occurred and it's being displayed in the browser), but at the end user GUI end, sends the ad to the graphical equivalent of /dev/null so the adblocker-plugin-user never sees it.

That's why we shouldn't optimize everything, the longer I live the more I understand that overoptimization is the root of all evil. We should analyse what we are doing and how we are changing things in the long term, monitor the situation and adjust accordingly. Otherwise our systems will find a local optimum that benefit the most powerful groups. Happens in all aspects of life, modern capitalism being the prime example.

Haha. I didn't follow it. After a bit of searching I had to laugh. They got owned by the 'hunter2' meme and call it a highly sophisticated and unforeseeable attack.
Honestly, that's a pretty standard "tape delay" for this sort of thing. It's really hard to make good, widely agreed-upon rules before the problem becomes widespread. Once it is, and there's popular support, rules and regulations become obvious.

And that's how government tends to work.

I appreciate the verve and detailed view into something I'd recoil from just because of the polarization attached.

I mean this in the nicest, least combative, way possible: I don't understand at all how this would help with vote auditing. How does printing a piece of paper, which remains in the possession of the machine, ease any concerns about fraud generally, or enable an individual to audit?

As a software engineer and a huge fan of technology in general, I think electronic voting machines are the devil. Digital information is too easy to alter. Good old-fashioned paper elections are a well vetted technology that we know how to use and can be implemented and audited well. Electronic voting, not so much. It's not just important to have a free election, it's important that everyone has faith that it was a free election. Because if people no longer believe in the process, democracy will die. So it has to be transparent, audited by neutral and external parties, and it has to not just be impossible to tamper with, it also has to make everyone believe that it is impossible.

I hope the will of the people prevails over the supreme court in Brazil eventually.

> What gives you advantage is trading algo, which is always hard to find.

At the end it is necessary to make a decision whether to buy or sell (and how much), which will compete with other decisions made based on some logic. Developing such a logic (strategy) manually is of course quite difficult. I developed an intelligent trading bot which derives its trading strategy from historic data:

Currently it works for cryptocurrencies but can be applied to other markets:

> I've spent months on figuring out the best parameters for trading. Ended up this working only on historical data, while in reality it was totally different.

It is a typical situation. The whole problem is to develop a strategy which works for future (unseen) data. Even backtesting algorithms should be designed in such a way that future experience (data) does not leak to the past.
Look, people have been using these substances for millennia to the degree that it is an integrated spiritual practice across a number of civilizations.

I'm not sure why you want to ignore history to suit your narrative but it's telling that you're not engaging with it and it weakens your point. All you've illustrated is that /you/ don't know or care to find out about how the substance has been utilized. That has nothing to do with whether such an understanding exists or not and whether /others/ know something you don't. Suit yourself.
The linked bug report has four examples of it being wrong. And the bug reporter mentions there's no workflow to submit corrections.

Also hallutination was probably the wrong word to use for LLMs being incorrect since it might imply they could be correct if they would only just focus on the right input data rather than, say, simply not understanding complex technical concents, but I guess that ship has sailed.
It may be "ungenerous" but it's accurate. Unlike the output of LLMs.

In my country, New Zealand, we have fast reliable vote counting and it is all paper based and counted by hand. I don't understand how electronic systems make voting less complicated or cheaper.

We also have advanced (early) voting. You can vote one or two weeks early, election day is stress free.

Early votes counting starts at 9am in election day. So by the time that polls close most prelimary counting is already done.

The official count does take a couple of weeks, but around 10pm enough of the preliminary count is done that most electrotes have a winner.
To be honest I was just joking/thought for a second and decided that 28mm probably sounds right: 16mm would be useful (would show a lot) but also deceptive (too wide), and anything more than 28mm like 35mm or 50mm would be too narrow for capturing a space.
People have all sorts of thresholds past which attributes of package management warrant attention. Some of them are even reasonable. But it's not legitimate to claim that a language doesn't have any effective package management, at least when that language is (a) popular and (b) idiomatically dependent on 3rd party packages, simply because those thresholds get crossed. Go self-evidently has effective package management, and has for over a decade.

There are lots of things I don't like about NPM. But imagine claiming that Node doesn't have real package management. You can't even write a for-loop in Node without a package. Go isn't quite that far gone, but it's pretty hard to write idiomatic Go of any significance with zero packages.
