Ok, I'll shoot: AOL Instant Messenger. Runaway success, 20ish year run. MySpace also started like that and so did Facebook itself. You had to add friends and visit their pages manually to see what they were up to, feeds came later.
They had made agreements with torstar prior to this bill passing. They abandoned those agreements when the bill passed. Its hard to avoid the conclusion that they are specifically taking issue with being legally compelled to make such agreements.
That one doesn't work right-now for me either
By that logic, any permission is justifiable because it all helps "personalizing content".

That’s not even true, though. Captains of commercial ships have always had the authority to put people in the brig. And that’s not even including putting Elon and Zuck in a cage together.
This. My favorite language for this is Clojure. There's usually not much library code to sift through because it's so terse.
The bar is very low.
It's true, and I agree with how you weigh these crimes by parties against the public & discourse.

But. Different parties each have their own interest & angles for why they un-rightfully squeeze liberties in different ways. It's fine to point out flaws, to identify greater evils. But we have to resist what-about-ism as a complete counter; everyone can be guilty of the same classes of errors. It doesn't win elections, but the moral high ground of acknowledging nuance & complexity & being willing to be vulnerable is, to me, the mark of genuineness that is the highest form of patriotism.

Reality is rarely clean, and that willingness to acknowledge the muddiness of the world & it's many situations is what enables us to iterate & progress.
Or much more convenient, given that the data is local and almost always available without the vagaries of an internet connection and remote server (except if/when all the bad local data loss scenarios happen at once and you need to restore from your cloud backup).
>one will choose the expert insight which most closely matches their current belief

The value of looking at ai safety as a pascals mugging as posited by the video is in that it informs us that these philosophers arguments are too malleable to be strictly useful. As you note, just find an "expert" that agrees.

The most useful frame for examination is the evidence. (which to me means benchmarks), We'll be hard pressed to derive anything authoritative from the philosophical approach. And as someone who does his best to examine the evidence for and against the capabilities of these things... from Phi-1 to Llama to Orca to Gemini to bard...

To my understanding we struggle to at all strictly define intelligence and consciousness in humans, let alone in other "species". Granted I'm no David Chalmers.. Benchmarks seem inadequate for any number of reasons, philosophical arguments seem too flexible, I don't know how one can definitively speak about these LLMs other than to tout benchmarks and capabilities/shortcomings.

>It seems like there’s a rather high chance if (proverbially) the AI-cat is let out of the bag.

Agree, and I tend towards it not exactly being a pascal's mugging either, but I loved that video and it's always stuck with me . I've been watching that guy since GPT 2 and OpenAI's initial trepidation about releasing that for fear of misuse. He has given me a lot of credibility in my small political circles, after touting these things as coming for years after seeing the graphs never plateau in capabilities vs parameter count/training time.

Ai has also made me reevaluate my thoughts on open sourcing things. Do we really think it wise to have gpt 6-7 in the hands of every 4channer?

Re mass effect, that's so awesome. I have to play those games. That sounds like such a dope premise. I like the idea of turning the mugging like that.
How about, I'm mildly homeless (essentially I live with my parents to leverage economies of scale around energy usage; I don't air condition a dwelling that only I live in), I ride an electric bike when possible (to include to my office which is 2 miles away), and I've recently taken up beekeeping and growing a portion of my food hydroponically. I never fly in a plane. I will eat basically anything, but it leans away from beef and other problematic stuff. I doubt I'm doing enough, and I've become pretty convinced over the last seven or so years that humanity is just straight-up fucked anyway (no kids for me which I could say is a green thing, but really I can't imagine explaining the magnitude of the fuckedness they'd face (and the living with parents thing sure doesn't help either)), but anyway I'd feel even more responsible if I did that stuff. Regarding the truck thing though, the Ford Maverick looks pretty useful and I believe there is a hybrid, so maybe that would be reasonable? #notalltexans lol
It's "1000 open issues on public repositories you own", not "1000 open issues created by you on public repositories". Both would be interesting, though.

That's a shame, I was hoping YouTube was going to go all-in with their ad blocker bans at the same time since I would have been hit by that too. The amount of time I've gotten back from no longer wasting time reading tweets since I refuse to create a Twitter account has been absolutely wonderful. I'm looking forward to ditching all the wasted time on YouTube soon as well. These companies don't have a clue.
If you want to reap the rewards of corporate profits, go form a worker's collective, or at least find a company that will pay you in total comp that is weighted toward stock options or RSUs. Agreeing to work for a salary, and then being upset that the MBA sharks aren't sharing the profit with you out of pity? Highly-intelligent software developers should know better.
And this kind of thing, trouble with a boss/landlord/etc, is a lot more likely to personally impact the average person than any sort of PV-related scenario. Single party consent is a clear net positive for most people.

Take notes. Draw up an overview architectural diagram.

Divide your notes into major sections for each area of the project and use it to jot down weird and interesting bits as you encounter them.

This not only gives you a handy reference so that you're not relearning the same stuff all the time, but writing things down gives your memories more resilience, so you'll remember more on the spot.

You can't break anything. It's still true (in like 99.9999% of cases) so just go ham. Try, try, try, try. Nothing bad can happen. This was very helpful back then for me. Not sure whether it's still helpful but back then this was on a computer my parents smuggled into the country...

Who cares who the plaintiff was? If they operate in bad faith, so much the better[0]. I'd be inclined to see this decision as a boon to progressive organizations wanting to expose hypocritical conduct. Again, this applies in places with no expectation of privacy.

On general principle, it seems like a no-brainer. I get being disappointed if your ox is gored, but being recorded by your interlocutor in a public place where anyone else could record shouldn't be a problem for any individual or organization that adheres to its stated principles. I'm more disturbed that this is somehow perceived as an attack against progressive organizations, when frankly it should be celebrated as a powerful tool to expose covert discrimination and other wrongdoing.

I don't write often (mostly lack of time), but I try to write technical articles on how to set things up, or if I want to share an opinion on the state of some things (most of them are older ramblings from when I was younger)
I can't even begin to relate to people who think like this.

They first picture an entity smarter than themselves (which will have no survival needs of any kind) and immediately assume that it will try to kill them.

Maybe they're right because now I'm tempted.

Anyway, is anybody else assuming that logic and reason will allow us to negotiate with a hypothetical superintelligence?

we have done it a few times. It is a lot more work and a lot of edge cases come up, especially if the same data can be written by multiple people. But if data or use case is such that only one person can write to same data and you limit only one logged in client at a time, it's much easier to do.

Semi-off-topic, but, I wish smaller engineering blogs still existed & were popular.

I rejoined a company that used to have a fairly active & fun & interesting engineering blog. What we do now is a bit more routine, but we still have so much we could talk about & share. But that spirit of open-ness & sharing just isn't what it was - not just at this company, but broadly.

Being proactive in changing the situation isn't toxic positivity, and being empathetic with folks in different jobs isn't toxic positivity either.

Assuming people are assholes, and blaming them for situations is just run of the mill toxic. Working through side-channels rather than addressing a problem is also run of the mill toxic.

Well, you know better. It’s all bunk. Very confident.

Also, Poland is getting nukes and soon we will be close to nuclear war — over something that could have been avoided 15 different ways. I guess I’ll just defer to your judgment in all things. What seems like double standards and insanity to me is actually the only correct and moral thing, and there’s nothing to worry about (or if humanity is destroyed it’s for a good cause — Ukraine will be free from the evil Russians).

WV has a few farms, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Storm_Wind_Farm is the largest I have seen (super scenic area-- WV is beautiful and has lots of interesting history). It is located next to a sizable coal fired plant.

Unfortunately other states in the area (like KY) are openly hostile towards renewables-- virtually 0 wind and limited solar installations.

What about Iowa? There seem to be lots of turbines near highways-- more so than the Indiana farms.

The author previously discussed the four-document model and some additional kinds of documents at <https://buttondown.email/hillelwayne/archive/beyond-the-four...>, and goes into further detail about conceptual overviews and examples. Of the other kinds of documents he mentions, "Best Practices" are often the ones I look for early on when learning a new language or library. It's easier for me to get up to speed by emulating what works.

If there's one thing I think we've learned from Twitter, it's that for most people, none of that actually matters.

De-platform folks on the alt-right?

Twitter lives on.

De-platform folks on the left, re-platform folks on the alt-right?

Twitter still lives on (though with far fewer advertisers).

Ban journalists and then invite them back? Journalists: "Please sir, may I have some more?"

It seems only folks who are chronically online actually talk about any of this, and only a vanishing few actually care enough to do anything about it.

That said...

> but at least I have a choice to look at whatever I want without corporate nanny censoring world for me.

Yeah, I don't know which Twitter you've been visiting, but this is just flat out not correct. Twitter is absolutely censored. Maybe it's censored in a way you like, but let's not pretend it's some sort of free speech free-for-all.
Excellent question!

Upon initial comparison, VulcanSQL and Cube.dev might seem to offer similar functionalities, as both serve APIs from data warehouses. However, the primary distinction lies in our respective focus areas.

Cube.dev puts more emphasis on constructing a semantic layer, whereas VulcanSQL is dedicated to addressing high-concurrency, low-latency scenarios. We achieve this through a serverless approach, seamlessly integrated with DuckDB.

This distinction in focus sets VulcanSQL apart, providing a unique solution to handle specific performance scenarios.
Also you really can't compare anything to Google+ cause they used every trick in the dark pattern book to convert every Google and YouTube account to be a Google+ """user""", whereas Threads requires installing an app and going through the (short, if you have an IG account) sign-up process.

YouTube constantly harassed you to convert your account to be a Google+ account, and there was a point where commenting on any YouTube video would automatically make a post on Google+, as if you shared the video with that comment as a caption. They're totally not comparable.
So your distinction is that hackers gravitate towards extensions of turing completeness (i.e. code representations) as opposed to mechanical systems like basic engines and or machines?

This seems mostly true in my personal life. As a hacker, it explains my 5 year obsession with minecraft and gmod in my teens. I got deep into gmod e2 and then actionscript3 (RIP). It also explains why some mechanically gifted people I know don't "get" the flexibility of code, despite their intuition for systems. I think it takes a certain conviction to modify and extend abstract systems. Problem diagnosis is not obvious and can be very frustrating. But the dopamine hit of seeing things work together is enough to keep me going.

Overall, my hacker foundation is built on a never-ending loop of frustration and desire. Frustrated things aren't working with a desire to make things happen. I didn't program professionally until recently, but I instantly understood the mentality. I'm grateful for the wisdom my career has given me to pursue it.

Let me preface, as I pointed out in my reply, a good number of the permissions listed on the app store are either not present in the app or disabled by default in the app.

That said, it is a social network prioritizing text based discussion. Using location to prioritize content local to you seems appropriate (and is disabled by default, so you'd need to enable it via prompt).

Things like "Personal information" requesting "Political or religious beliefs", "Sexual orientation", etc. have some consideration of being problematic certainly.

I'm not entirely sure why the health permission, I listed for personalizing content, but it is honestly just a guess. Does not actually appear to be a permission present in the app currently.

Regarding calendar, the only other permission I labeled with personalizing content, it is disabled by default, and could possibly be used for other purposes (scheduling events, etc) so without knowing more it is a guess and possibly mislabeled by me.

I think it's fairly safe to say that those numbers are unlikely. One of the only real specific, and accurate, figures we can rely on is Bethesda in late 2011 saying they'd shipped (not sold) 10 million copies to retail (which excludes PC). In 2013 they stated that 20 million copies had been sold (which would include PC). The two notes I'd add here is that they never gave anymore shipped numbers, which means they probably never broke another meaningful benchmark on it, and that console titles (with very few exceptions) are overwhelmingly front loaded in sales.

I'm quite confident on the PC sales, because there's an oddly consistent little metric. For games that sell beyond a minimum amount, about 1 in 60 players tends to leave a written review. So total sales tends to be in the ballpark of written_reviews * 60. For Skyrim, that's 180,000 reviews or 10.8 million sales [1]. Linked because the game's been unlisted since the Special Edition came out. That metric also matches the mod count near perfectly, as well as Bethesda's sales announcements, and also their behaviors like trying to do things like create 'paid mods' (and the predictable backlash it entailed). So I'd estimate reasonable figures would be around 10 million on the PC, and a 2:1 360:PS3 ratio for the remainder. So you end up with somewhere around 10 million, 7 million, 4 million, with a variance probably in the range of something like 30%.

Your AC powering your hot water heater at the same time... that's genius.
Alternate pov: hardware lacks the kind of off-the-shelf tooling that software has developed, so engineers/founders feel like they have to develop a lot of non-critical things in-house. I'd argue most startups would be better off ruthlessly prioritising requirements and using poorer, off-the-shelf components, and building their advantage at the software-hardware intersection
Instead of charging CC, AWS should have the prepaid balance approach that digital ocean and others have. The big guys can recharge however much they want but small scale users can also escape the headaches of incorrect charges to account.

Also CC use is declining across the world as more people are realizing the problem of debt trap, they should come up with alternative methods like UPI and bank transfer.
It looks really promising, would also love to know the status of this. Can't find any announcements of this yet.
Market manipulation through wash trading is not "mildly dubious". Your description is incredibly generous, in a way that gives credit where none is due. The wash trading is the exchange equivalent of soliciting for investors while faking massive sales at-cost, which is still major fraud.
I taught myself to code in high-school, entering my first job was daunting but I remember just sitting back and absorbing information like a sponge. Obviously I came in with some fundamental knowledge and I was working with a language I had been using personally for years but if I had any advice for someone who's new it's to just sit back and learn as much as you can. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion.
