>No one is advocating for looking at CSAM (well, except you). In fact there wasn’t even the suggestion of that.

You’re being awfully charitable with such a contrived interpretation of the comment above mine. Fact is they didn’t say what bad stuff they think should be allowed in prominent online spaces frequented by children and vulnerable populations, legal or otherwise. Having read enough about the salacious corners of the clear net, it’s rather safe to assume CSAM is among the bad stuff this person was vaguely referencing. It would be helpful if they provided an enumerated list of the crap they enjoy seeing but that would also require them to expose themselves. Do you see the contradiction and need to read between the lines here?Every platform, even moderated one’s, faces this problem: Twitter, Facebook, instagram, Reddit, all of them. I’m not encouraging people to seek this stuff out, and your accusation that I am stands in stark contrast to the charity you gave the person above. Concerning. Regardless, if that’s their thing I hope they walk right into a honeypot.

>You are arguing that harboring (legal) disturbing content is tantamount to CSAM and should be censored because it “will not scale”, meaning you are focusing on a for-profit lens. Despite the fact that the conversation topic, the Fediverse, is not for-profit.

Bad faith argument and patent misinterpretation. Reddit, the front page of the internet, is mentioned in the context above and largely what I’m arguing in regards to. To be explicit, Reddit is not a federated platform and is for profit, and it’s reasonable to speculate on the intentions of the platforms leadership, especially when they state explicitly that they want more money. I’m not interested in arguing about what grimy stuff nobodies get up to on the fedoverse. It’s probably a lot like 4chan or the sites that spring up when abusive groups get hit by a ban wave on larger platforms: gab, truth social. The fefiverse will likely remain fringe for the foreseeable future for this very reason and isn’t an interesting discussion due to the limited audience. grimy people drive valuable/helpful users away necessitating the removal of said bad actors. Also, I’m not interested in the profitability of platforms. I’m interested in the health of the communities and grimy content pushes normal people away reducing the health of the community. I don’t care that the person above wants to look at grimy stuff, I care when the same people want to see their perverse interests made mainstream which is exactly what many people are arguing for, with concerningly vague terminology, in this thread. Gross.

1. When the grandparent post said "corporations", they probably mean something like the Blackstones & Blackstones of the world, who are not small and both mentioned in this article about their residential housing activity: https://slate.com/business/2021/06/blackrock-invitation-hous...

2. Having lived near Ashville, NC for two years, it's a particularly beautiful region and attractive vacation spot, so I especially believe it would attract corporate buyers looking to build an Airbnb vacation portfolio. Also not far from Atlanta, where Invitation Homes (a corporate buyer of residential housing) is active.

As someone who's dabbled in trading systems for a few years, i see systems that:

1. Places a series of small bets that lose more of than not. Some winners breakeven or turn a small profit. A small number of bets are so successful that they cover all the losses and then some. Ex: trend traders, VC funds, etc.

2. Places a series of small or large bets that win small amounts more often than not, but every so often, they are impacted by a huge loss. Ex: traders that were shorting volatility (2018 volmageddon)

The question is what system/viewpoint in life are you more comfortable with?

An apartment building is owned collectively and with that comes a set of rules. In most places you aren't allowed to be a nuisance, even though you own a share of the house you don't get to dictate or do whatever you want just because you own something. Your property is just a part of a larger property, respect others or get the fuck out.

It's a pretty simple arrangement that one gets into when they purchase an apartment.
This does better than that. As it learns your familiarity, it will give you a familiarity % for each page you load, with breakdowns showing how many of the vocab/kanji you know, are still learning in flashcards, or that are new to you.

It sounds like you'd like to see a summary of what JLPT level the unknown words are at. You can see this info via the familiarity dropdown but I can see how surfacing that earlier is valuable.

I do have some JLPT N5/N4/N3-specific feeds in there as well. I'll look into what's going on with N2 vocab in beginners category (though the JLPT classification is imperfect because there is no officially published list - I've used ebook corpus w/ custom heuristics to guess at the rest of the JLPT vocab beyond the partial list officially published years ago).

I also plan to add "ultra beginner" / "from zero" introductory materials soon.

> as long as when I reply, it automatically replies from the address it was sent to.

In my experience this is NOT always the case. I handle multiple accounts using unified view, and I've had a _lot_ of "accidents" where I replied from another address than the email address that the email was sent to.

Meaning: an email sent to me at one email address may get a reply (possibly with the email text quoted inside) - from a totally different and unrelated email address. Without me actively selecting a "different" reply account.

For a while it seemed the rule is that you reply using the account you used the last time you interacted with the app (the "last active" account -ish). It really seemed to be the rule, not the exception. I'm not sure if this was/is "by design" or "a bug"

T(hings like t)his is one of the reasons I use email/Thunderbird less these days. The cost per time unit has increased and the risk of uncontrolled events likewise.

Of course account switching is desired in some situations, so this should be possible. With some minor difficulty - at least some sort of minor deliberate action should be needed like click a list to change sender email address away from recipient email address. It should not be default behaviour.

I’d mostly ignore the feedback about the subscription. Yeah, having a new subscription for everything sucks but Apple makes it extremely easy to review and cancel your subscriptions. And your free tier is already useful and by allowing everyone to use the education discount if they want, I think you’ve got plenty of options covered. Experiment with adding a lifetime purchase down the road if you want, but I’d be hesitant of adding a “pay nothing” option for the premium features. Most people will choose it, even if they could easily afford to pay and are getting lots of value from product.

Nice work! For now I’m doing fine on the free tier but I’ll definitely upgrade when I run into a paywalled feature I want to use.

I don't necessarily mean the implementation skills of "making screens", but arguably that skill is the easiest to obtain.

With a speaker system, sure. With headphones, whatever the output is, could have been put on a cd. Now maybe you don't want to release a cd mastered for headphones, and that's fine; getting a much larger input file and processing it specifically for stereo headphones seems likely distinguishable from a stereo mix intended to be ok for everything; and maybe it'll even be better.

Some people might be able to tell the difference between final output at 48kHz and 44.1kHz sampling, or 16-bit vs 24-bit, but I can't; although I can notice a tiny difference if I'm downsampling to 8kHz to use with the phone system, but the aliasing you see going from 44.1 to 8 is minor compared to the massive drop in quality, so eh, whatever.

… I already proposed a better system. Let the government adjust market values via passing laws as needed.

Obviously humans aren’t rational actors, so assuming as much would be dumb to use as the basis of an economic system. People generally are shortsighted- they build on flood plains, for example, or use toxic building materials that cause damage long term (ex: asbestos), or whatever.

Nor should humans be expected to be rational actors. (!) You shouldn’t need a PhD in biochemistry in order to evaluate water quality impact to health, in order to buy a home. If we require people like software engineers to be full blown doctors just to rationally evaluate a place to live, we have failed as a society.

Allowing the government to declare homes uninhabitable is clearly better than a pure market based system.

Thanks for mentioning OrbStack!

I thought I'd elaborate on a few specific ways OrbStack improves on apps and issues mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

- Network hangs and connection issues: I wrote a new virtual network stack in userspace and made sure to address issues plaguing other virtual networking solutions (VPN compat, DNS failures, etc.).

- Inexplicable errors: Can't say it's perfect, but I do take every issue seriously. For example, sending OOM kill notifications on macOS instead of silently killing processes.

- Running x86 containers: Builtin fixes and workarounds for many Rosetta bugs. Since the bugs are on Apple's side, they affect all other apps (as of writing) and often cause issues when running linux/amd64 containers. If you're used to slow QEMU emulation, then well, it should be a major improvement.

- Multipass: OrbStack can run 15 different distros (https://docs.orbstack.dev/machines/distros#linux-distributio...). It's not limited to Ubuntu, and cloud-init support is also planned for most distros.

- UTM: OrbStack doesn't do graphics yet, so you'll have to stick to UTM for GUI, but the CLI and other integration is designed to be on WSL2 level. It also boots much faster: baseline in ~1 sec, each machine in ~250 ms, total ~1.2 sec.

- Bind mounts and file sharing: It uses VirtioFS which isn't affected by sshfs consistency issues, plus caching and optimizations to give it an edge.

- Colima: https://docs.orbstack.dev/compare/colima

I knew a short stocky SNCO who just struggled with crunches, no matter how much effort he put into them. I found crunches easy because I have long arms and a short torso, so the distance I had to travel to do a technically-correct crunch was minimal. But I've always struggled with pull-ups....because those same long arms make the pull-up distance feel like I'm free climbing the Dawn Wall.

I also think doing sit-ups in the Army on stupidly-hard surfaces (parking lots, etc...) before I switched to the Corps is one of the main sources of my lower back pain.

The reason companies/researchers haven't generally touched MoE for LLMs despite how good it sounds on paper is because they've typically sucked and underperformed their dense counterparts.

assuming this is all true, Did Open ai do anything differently here or is it just scale ?

I know this very recent paper shows MoE benefit far more from Instruct tuning - https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.14705

FLAN-MOE-32B comfortably surpasses FLAN-PALM-62B with a third of the compute. It goes from 25.5% to 65.4% on MMLU.

In comparison, 55.1 to 59.6% for Flan-Palm 62b. That just kind of shows the underperformance you expect from sparse models.

But from Open ai's technical report, it doesn't seem like they needed that.

The Vision component seems to be just scale. Well all of it seems to be just scale. Seems like there's plenty scale left too as far as performance gains go.
Thanks, sounds good.

As I rewrite the Manabi Flashcards app next, I'm working on a better flashcard sync than simply exporting cards to other services. I'll have it be able to fully sync in/out your Anki and WaniKani decks, so that you can review them in either place.

I'll then update Manabi Reader to automatically "passively" review your flashcards for you when you read content that contains the vocab or kanji.

I'll add Mochi Cards to the list for when I get to that set of functionality, or an earlier update for simple export.

> over 50% of companies never let you know that they're not moving forward

Employers ghosting applicants is one of the worst parts of the (non-)hiring process.

Many companies expect applicants to be at their beck and call during the hiring process, and then simply cease communication and become unresponsive as a (discourteous and unprofessional) way of saying "we don't want to hire you."

Almost worse is the "holding pattern" where they may even have filled the position but continue stringing applicants on indefinitely with vague and noncommittal responses.

As a somewhat absurd workaround, some companies automatically send rejections to all applicants (hired or not) after a set period of time (such as 90 days).
Certificate revocation is a really interesting problem, because it's obviously vital but also pretty rare. Currently, to validate a certificate, every client has to walk through every certificate in the chain and ask for the CRL or make an OCSP query, just in case. It's incredibly wasteful and subject to all sorts of problems. It's really fun verifying file signatures on a machine with no direct internet access.

It would be nice to have a centralized push-based solution or something. I dunno, hard problem.
