You leave Javascript enabled, open 15 tabs, and in all likelihood 2 or 3 of them are discreetly running cryptominers, another 2 or 3 are using the timed visited links attack to sniff your browser history [1], another 4 or 5 are installing permacookies, and Google and Meta and Twitter are now aware of 12 out of the 15 tabs you opened because those pages have a Google analytics or AdSense JS snippet or a like/retweet button somewhere on the page.

Javascript is a security and privacy nightmare. It's frankly absurd to me that we default to Javascript switched on everywhere for everything. It feels like chmodding your entire home directory to 777 on a shared system.

JS is also an accessibility nightmare, but unfortunately turning it off doesn't fix that.

I practice inbox zero. I don’t wait to take action.

I check my email then archive, trash, or respond immediately if it needs a response. If it’s a task I do it immediately.

It’s that simple.

If you have too many things to do, throwing them into another list will not help. You need to do less, delegate more, and stop pretending you can do everything.

Yep, glad you got the point. YC isn't some test where "passing" is the goal. As trite as it sounds, you are evaluating them as an accelerator as much as they are evaluating you as a startup - if the fit isn't there, either the startup changes itself or you move on. No big deal either way.

Ease of testing is not the root of the fetishization of STEM. Perceived benefit to personal economic prospects (and active propagandization [0] around that by people trying to increase labor supply and decrease labor costs in STEM fields to unlock greater profits) is.

[0] note that I am not arguing that this perception isn’t, to a significant extent, true—that it is perceived to be is key to behavior, and that it is propagandized heavily is key to perception, but none of that is inconsistent with truth.

I think they mentioned CPU intensive work, which I'm taking to imply that it's more CPU bound than I/O bound. So unless you're suggesting they use Node's web workers implementation for parallelism, the default single threaded async concurrency model probably won't serve them well.
> Are y’all browsing the internet like this?

I also do.

> If so how and why? Isn’t most of the modern web dependent on JavaScript?

I expect a webpage to be a webpage, not an "app". I always think it's funny that many pages will print the message "This app requires JavaScript to run" when they fail to work without JS. "Apps", I feel, should be executables I run on my machine after installation. I mean, that's bad enough -- how do I know a video game isn't scouring my system for all my personal data to sell to advertisers as it admitted in the EULA I didn't read? But now webpages can be fly-by-night Turing complete brain surgeries on my computer? No thanks.

Gee, thanks W3C, for making battery life and other things JS queries which are at best useless and at worst tools to track and datamine me. (By the way, all the ads, sometimes also malware, loaded via JS sure eat into that battery life. Yay!) Let me whole-heartedly subscribe to this Molochian acceleration to value extractive singularity so that I can visit a webpage! Maybe I'll also get to enjoy some shitty animations or standard workflow-breaking behavior (e.g., pagination/right-click context menu hijacking) while I'm at it to get in the way of the content I wanna get. :D
Thanks for this. I’ve been using this Logitech mouse since forever and the side buttons doesn’t have any functionality

That sounds reasonable, from a "passion" angle.

However, I would like to hear what someone who dislikes sysadmining but must anyway has to say. Why? A different perspective. I know some sysadmins who "left the car up on blocks," as in, they couldn't stop tweaking and fixing and so on, and they love that, and that's great.

Someone who is forced into the job, however, is communicating to me what I would expect to be the most necessary tasks. Maybe I also am in a similar place and would like to get on with the rest of my job. And in an Agile world, programmers get pushed into sysadmining ... at least, in some versions of Agile to which I have been subjected.

You keep moving the goal posts. We have enough of a starting point with the UN charter of rights and freedoms.

It's the case that for a lot of things we know the best policies for many things. More competent government would go by what they suggest, will of the people be damned.

I disable js in safari (which is my main browser) on ios. If there is something that I really want to see that requires js, I switch to brave which has js enabled. But most of the time if a site requires js, I just leave the site. I now find browsing the web with js enabled to be intolerable.
One thing I didn't like about Matrix: I had a single server with 3 or 4 other users. In a few months, the database ballooned to, like, 80GB. User-uploaded content, including text, was in the ballpark of 2 or 3GB. Is there any way to clear out the cache of data received from old servers, say, anything more than 2 weeks old, and re-retrieve it if needed?
Still the problem arises going the other way. v4 cannot connect to a v6 only network. So useless to have v6.

The point is that they ran this ad in 2022 and it wasn't met with widespread ridicule or outrage (which happened with many, many other ads), which says a lot about the current culture.

> And if I see a dumb commercial about therapy I don't let it make me believe that "you hear 'everyone should be in therapy' from all corners".

Believe it or not, this commercial is not what made me believe that you hear that sentiment everywhere. What made me believe that was hearing it everywhere.

Here are some examples:

0) Not seeing ads, nag screens, gratuitous requests for sending notifications, etc, and often even avoiding paywalls.

Of course there are less drastic ways to achieve all this. With JavaScript off, many things on the internet look broken, so it's pleasant that certain things become manifestly un-broken.
Yes, once a day was an example. Google uses different frequencies. However I do remember getting automated nagging messages at Google when a service hadn't been redeployed (and thus restarted) for more than two weeks.

Google as a whole might be different from other companies, yes. But smaller departments in Google aren't that different from other companies.
I do not think that the United States section of that article is valid. It seems to equate speech with communication.

I really missed out on this thread despite being likely one of the most important folks to post on it (I turned my time in Policy Debate into an NLP career - see DebateSum: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Hellisotherpeople/DebateSum and CX_DB8: https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/CX_DB8)

For those who are interested in the intersection of AI and Debate Evidence, there's a lot more work being done right now. We have a follow-up dataset to DebateSum on its way to a paper at some conference called OpenCaseList: https://huggingface.co/datasets/Yusuf5/OpenCaselist which is basically DebateSum but 40x better in every way. This is also likely the largest and best quality argument mining dataset ever gathered.

Fun anecdote, when I tried to introduce automatic extractive summarization tools to the debate community, I had parent/judge/teacher groups who were FLIPPING out about this. They were not happy at the idea of automatic debating or computer assisted debating systems.

I was a co-founder of a startup in 2014, and we applied to an incubator that had experience with hardware startups, and domain expertise.

Here's where it got interesting, my co-founder was friends with the founder of another much more established startup in a vaguely similar space. The leader of the incubator was under the impression we were focusing on a different idea (we considered as a secondary, later opportunity) and concerned about a conflict between the two startups. If we had listened to his suggestion, we probably could have come up with a successful product opportunity.

At the end of the day, It was my own stupid fault for not listening closer to what was said, and analyzing the option to pivot into a more successful path.
The relation between ANNs and statistics is a topic over which much ink was spilled in the 1990s. This is the most concise discussion I can think of:

Sarle, Warren S. (1994). Neural Networks and Statistical Models. Proceedings of the Nineteenth Annual SAS Users Group International Conference, April, 1994.

If you want an in-depth discussion, these books relate ANNs and statistical methods:

Schürmann, Jürgen. (1996). Pattern Classification: A Unified View of Statistical and Neural Approaches.

Raudys, Sarunas. (2001). Statistical and Neural Classifiers: An Integrated Approach to Design.

Conflating between national/gov vs total/aggregate debt. PRC national debt is ~75% of GDP vs US ~120%, total aggregate debt PRC ~270% vs US ~760%. Youth unemployment rate basically same as US @7.5%. PRC youth unemployment stats exclude 60% of youths in school unavailable for work, PRC youth unemployment using US bureau of labour definition is 8.5%. PRC debt is more managable than US on any metric that matters, meanwhile outcome of said debt is surplus talent and new infra. Opposite of what US is currently dealing with. US does seem to have advantage inflating away (i presume) dollar debt though, US aggregate debt high was like 860% during covid.
Khoj uses Llama 2 7B, 4bit quantized. So it just needs 3.5Gb of RAM (GPU or System) [1].

Khoj and your other apps need more RAM themselves, so practically 8GB of System or GPU RAM should suffice.

Khoj has been tested with CUDA and Metal capable GPUs. So Nvidia and Mac M1+ GPUs should work. I'm think it'll work with AMD GPUs out of the box too but let me know if it doesn't for you? I can look into what needs to be done to get that to work.

[1]: The calculation is [params] * [bytes] GB RAM, so 7 * 0.5 = 3.5Gb
Funny and insightful.
Multithreading is hard but once you have been doing it a while, it becomes easy and most importantly, it’s stable.

When you have to deal with processes, there’s a lot of external factors out of your control because processes are much more visible and carry a lot of extra baggage.

Hard multithreading problems are fun. Hard multi-process problems are just tedious.
Agricultural Land Is Becoming an Investment Vehicle for the Rich
Agree. Personally I'm strong on "AI has real risks", which are mostly inflated beliefs in what it tells us. The protocols for drug testing are so high AI (if it works) is most likely to reduce prescreening delay, and if it had a risk it would be ignoring novel forms which don't conform to training, not high lethality: the drug test regimen deals with that already.
> Even in the cases where it can be, like California air quality regs, it’s being eroded and rolled back anyway.

That's a matter of timing. When they were enacted, they weren't being rolled back, they were being rolled out. Maybe it will catch on in 100 years. Hard to say it has no impact, when historians are able to point to the effects, when informing the future.

The thinking that everything must be solved/corrected immediately is misplaced despair, rather than a philosophical flaw in the system.
Have you tried MineClone2 which is built with minetest? The minetest guys claim they are only an engine providing tools and are not trying to recreate the minecraft experience. MineClone2 wants to provide an authentic experience and then MineClone5 is the "new features branch" but is unstable. Then there is Mineclonia which aims for stability and performance in neglect of MineCraft parity.

Generics are fine. Its useful to have some introspection into the data that compiler has. Thats the whole point of macros in the first place.

The behavior with _Generic is basically emergent behavior from implementation of macro processors. Macro replacements occur prior to actual compilation, so no compiler context exists for x, as such all code paths must be valid.

Its much easier to require the programmer typecast x in the replacement value then start trying to shoehorn the compiler context into macro processors.
The end-to-end systems Missy is describing here do exist, but none of the major AV developers are using them in current vehicles. What's concerning here is that Missy Cummings is someone who should be an expert here. She directs the Autonomy lab at Duke and served as a senior safety advisor to NHTSA on this topic, among others. She's been publishing on this topic for years, so it's hard to believe she hasn't read read any of the architecture papers, or looked at the numerous talks on the subject, or even just had a conversation with an engineer.
how does it compare to Zulip?
It is impossible for IPv4 talk to IPv6. Just like it is impossible to talk to server behind NAT.

But there are a lot fewer public servers than there are hosts and private servers. It makes sense to give the load balancers IPv4 and then have all the internal servers and hosts IPv6. IPv6 leads to much simpler internal network. Still have to do NAT64 to talk to IPv4, but have to do NAT for IPv4.
Indeed, good point, and worth clarifying. A lot of people think the size overhead is the problem, which usually it isn't, like you say, because of fairly cheap compression.

However, the main issue with big base64 blobs is that you can and should never assume that JSON parsers are streaming. So you may need to load the whole thing in memory, which of course isn't good.

Note that I'm not necessarily blaming JSON for this. My gut feeling is that crusading for streaming parsers is a Bad Idea. Instead, this is something that should probably be a higher-level protocol, either by streaming chunks (a la gRPC) or by having separate logical data streams (see e.g. QUIC). JSON RPC does not, afaict, solve these issues.

This is a funny comment, not because it's so wrong, but because of the irony. Statisticians used to complain that neural net research was just badly reproducing statistics. As late as the early 2000s, I had a stats professor actually get angry when I expressed interest in ANN theory.

The rules aren't "unenforced". Sweden, and the other non-eurozone countries without an opt-out, are complying with the rules. There's no rule requiring the EU members to meet the convergence criteria.

I don't have a qualified opinion on the subject of TPU availability.

As we sort of saw with the Twitter Files (and other incidents with foreign governments, eg the Indian government), they can get extremely pedantic about describing the kind of cooperation they have with government agencies.

I use my keyboard.

Typically, I switch via Raycast (or a similar tool like Spotlight, Alfred, etc): ctrl+space, then I type the first letter or two of the app I want, then hit enter. Same thing for starting all apps.

If I know the app I’m switching to was the last active app, I’ll occasionally use cmd+tab. Once cmd+tab is visible, I’ll sometimes use my arrow keys to move between apps.

If I’m switching between active windows of the same app, cmd+`. This is handy for switching between browser windows that have sets of tabs based on what I’m working on, docs I’m referencing, things I’m reading, etc.

My terminal is bound to option+space, so it’s easy to switch to (and I start it with Raycast as explained above).

I also rely on Raycast for positioning all my windows to different sizes and quadrants of the screen with my keyboard. I used to use different apps for all these use cases, but Raycast handles them all and more—calculations, looking up words in the dictionary, etc.
