Yeah sure, it's pretty common in physics and everywhere. The notion of cause and effect is closer to a legal concept than a physical one.

If you kick a ball, it begins to roll not only because it was kicked, but because it was round, solid, not made out of lead, etc. Further the presence of the ball may have induced you to kick it. Surely you don't go around kicking empty air.

But we tend to have a sort of simplified view where there is an active cause acting on a passive world to have an effect.
I had this happen with both Facebook and Google.

With Facebook it took 6 months to get fixed. Then it happened again in 2020 and I was only recently able to get the flag removed a few months ago.

With Google I took it much more serious. Took about 6 days of non stop calls and emails. Probably put in 4-6 hours a day just trying over and over again.

The trick is to just keep trying. Again and again. Don’t waste time talking to people who can’t help. You start to get a feel for it. Eventually you can find your way to “Risk Management“ and a human will review your account. Same response from both Facebook (multiple times) and Google, which is some derivation of, “Sorry. Our algorithm was overly zealous and accidentally flagged your account. The flag has been removed and your access restored.”

Of course no one uses a real name or last name and everyone uses an ephemeral email address so it’s impossible to ever reach back out.

You're right: those are all equally infringing CC-BY-NC. I don't see a problem.
Everybody is so negative about it. It don’t see why. It’s just storing a hash of an eyeball to have a better solution than soon-to-be-broken captchas to detect humanness.

The only thing that is stored is the hash. It’s just a “human or not” database
> but every bullshit job pays the bills

This completely discards the premise. We're talking about a hypothetical world where we don't need work from people, and where it would make very little sense to require meaningless work in exchange for having your needs met.

(We're also talking about the actual present world, where we don't need nearly as much work as we're forcing people to do, so the above should still be partially true, but it really isn't.)
BoingBoing is the worst of the worst enshittification. All of the problems that the theory predicts, plus a sanctimonious tone like they're somehow above all that.

Also, biometrics aren't like people recognizing each other. They eventually have to be become data sent over a network so they're basically a password/id designed/assumed to not be alterable or spoofable - but that assumption is generally false. Hacking can happen from anything from someone getting private info to someone walking around with a mask. And here, as mentioned, there's no password resets available.
One example is rotation along axes other than Z, which is required for 3D transforms. Here's a two year old issue on it: https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/discussions/3521

Another is attribute selector support. They have many common ones, but to do anything more complex you need to add support to your configuration. https://tailwindcss.com/docs/hover-focus-and-other-states#at...

I don't want to oversell this; I think Tailwind does a pretty good job covering the "happy path", and if you haven't run into any gaps I wouldn't worry about it too much. But you'll encounter its limits well before you encounter the limits of CSS.

“What about small businesses” seemed like a better counter-argument during the previous round of ad tech, the kind of annoying flash pop ups that and third party JavaScript that only sometimes contained viruses.

Nowadays it is a major funding keystone of the attention economy, which is spreading propaganda and conspiracy theories, destabilizing governments. Propaganda spread over Facebook helped enable the Rohingya genocide. This isn’t a little annoying thing anymore.

> But on the short term many of the locals can not afford to live in the town they grew up and the same goes for their children too

This is happening everywhere. My hometown in Europe is by the sea and has nice weather. Since remote work, housing has become ridiculous, both in price and availability. Locals can hardly afford it anymore. But I do think this whole situation will balance out eventually, we're really just at the beginning of a new global trend.
I do find that interesting... I found a graph of another HTSC's (YBCO) resistance vs temperature [1], and the function is much more discontinuous looking than the one shown in the article. That would lead me (someone not at all trained in the physics of superconductors) to believe that perhaps the purity of the sample is a factor here, with different parts of the sample having different critical temperatures, gradually decreasing resistance until an inflection point is reached at 110K.

> These measures seem like a way of banks shifting the responsibility for fraud onto the customer.

Onto the vendor, not the customer. The customer can chargeback anything instantly, and the vendor is on the hook for the fraud.

It's intentional, so the banks and payment processors can make more profits. By making it easier for customers to chargeback, they incentivize customers to buy more stuff, by getting the customer to feel more comfortable charging everywhere. Charging more stuff makes payment processors more money.
Because it’s a friggin’ masterpiece, that’s why.
I wholly disagree. This is arguably close to the perfect solution:

- Developers and end users can choose which model they want to use

- Model distributors don't necessarily take the fall since they provide a "healthy" model alternative

- The uncensored "base" model can be finetuned into whatever else is needed

You have to remember, ChatGPT is censored like a Soviet history book but didn't struggle to hit hundreds of millions of users in months. This is what releases will look like from now on, and it's not even a particularly damning example.

RLHF can motivate models to deny truths which are politically taboo, but it can also motivate them to care more about things supported by scientific evidence rather than about bullshitting, random conspiracy theories, and "hallucination". So it's a double edged sword.
In your morals perhaps. If you were to run a utilitarian calculus, bombing such a target could deliver the most morally optimal solution. If the war had not have ended, the Japanese could have continued to potentially kill millions. The bomb was a clear and final “you cannot win if you continue to wage war” that they came to accept. The Americans could have as easily dropped it on Tokyo.
> The internet and it's users is something to extract value from, not something that holds any value on it's own in their minds.

When in the 21st century hasn't this been true?

The internet is a commodity you pay for from an ISP. They control your traffic and log it to whatever extent they desire. Site operators choose to allow or deny visitors based on arbitrary things; membership, adblock, browser choice, etc. If you don't provide enough value to the site operator (or alternatively, cost too much to host) then advertisement becomes inevitable. Even your browser was monetized and weaponized since Microsoft realized they could pack-in web clients. Now everyone is being abused by some corporate benefactor.

The online ad business is a reflection of how every first world government has let FAANG roll all over them and consequentially exploit their citizens. The only way we "reset" the ad industry is by bullwhipping Big Tech until they recognize your freedom as a computer owner.

The Fig 3a)b) graphs are not showing superconductivity. That just looks like the resistance dips below the ~1e-5 mark and goes goes deep into the noise. That just looks like a normal conductor that has a positive temperature coefficient.

edit: to add speculation, I think they made something that's not quite LK-99, and it's behaving like a normal conductor with no superconductance.

The author's detailed analysis and breakdown of occluding contours in different forms of art, from painting to animation, offer a unique perspective on how artists use visual cues to convey depth and dimension.
This doesn't look superconducting at all to me, simply the sample is very small and below 110K the resistance of the sample is too small to be measured by their measurement equipment. I'm happy to be proved wrong but there should be a steeper transition at the critical temperature.
libro.fm is an option for buying books. You can purchase a subscription or buy individual books. Some of the money goes to support local bookstores, so that's kind of neat. They're also not Amazon, so that's kind of neat, too.

I'm a big fan of the Libby app, which you can acccess through your local library. If your library subscribes to the service (and it's likely they do if you live in the USA), then you just need to log in with your library card.

There's also LibriVox, which is mostly a volunteer project. As its volunteers, the quality of the reading can vary widely, but you can sometimes find audio versions of older literature here that can't be found anywhere else. It's also free.

Calling it civil forfeiture is in itself problematic. The assumption is that the person committed a crime and profited from it. Kinda of a weird mix. You must prove you did not commit a crime in a civil case.

I'm sorry but using strong authentication to make my payment is not a burden, it's a bloody feature.

Here's how much of a "burden" that is: you hold your ATM card next to the terminal. Done. Paid. Every once in a while (based on a configurable max per week) it will prompt for a PIN. Which you enter in 5 secs. That would be 1 in 10 payments.

Online payment: scan payment QR with phone, which takes me to my banking app. Authentication is FaceID, TouchID or PIN. Then you click "Yes". Done.

Both methods are highly secure, require no or minimal input and are extremely fast.
How are you patching that in? Running an LLM locally for autocomplete feels a lot more comfortable than sending code to remote servers for it.

Of course that was a direct lie and Trump (among other even less savory people) was added back shortly after.

I don't know, I haven't had a smartphone for two months now and it hasn't really seemed that necessary. I tried to do what you are saying but people have purposely engineered the devices and apps to be addictive so I don't think its a good solution for me.

To be honest with you, things changed for me mentally when I got rid of the smart phone. When I hear people say things like this, it kind of sounds similar to an addict talking about why they need a cigarette when they are stressed. It looks like that to me at the store and at the playgrounds when I watch parents playing around on their phone instead of with their kids too.
the cost would be depending on GPU type/serving system/traffic pattern. check out some throughput comparison from vllm's blog post https://vllm.ai/
if you serve 7B on cost-optimized GPUs (A10G/L4) and keep it busy, it can be a lot cheaper than gpt3.5 turbo. tho it's not a fair comparison as 3.5's quality is still far better.
No, it isn't true of any other provider, that's the whole point. If my HBO Max account detects a fraudulent charge, my completely unrelated email provider doesn't then irreversibly disable my email account and tell me to just set up a new one.

Yes, if my non-Apple email service "locks me out", then the same would happen as here. The point however is that:

1. Usually this would only happen if something weird specifically happens on that account. For example, if I am paying for an email provider and my card is declined. Notice that with the Apple case, a problem in something completely unrelated to email can cause this (including apparently the card being flagged for a fraudulent charge on some unrelated service).

2. Even then, usually the next step is I am told that that happened. Notice that in the Apple case they won't even tell you what the situation is to give you a chance to remedy it.

3. Finally, you then almost always have a way to remedy the problem. For example, by giving them a new credit card. Notice in the Apple case they insist that the account is disabled forever.

Do you see the difference? It's not in the "what happens if your email stops working" part, it's in the "what leads to your email not working anymore" and "how do you fix your email" parts.
> It allows people to find things they value that they were not aware of before.

There are better ways for that. For instance I look it up in the yellow pages. Or I find someone in some store to talk to.

This happens when *I* want to look for something, not when *you* want to sell something.

> Yes, which is why apps need to design good ad experiences to balance monetization with user satisfaction.

So far, it has been a complete disaster. And there is no sign of it getting any better. The incentives are wrong to begin with.

What does this even mean? Typo? Are you suggesting that the company with the biggest ad budget also makes the best products by definition, somehow?
Yes, and precisely the large industrial areas of Dresden were not targeted but the inner city with lots of civilians was.

Note that I have no love for Nazi Germany, my family suffered tremendously at their hands and the results of that are still felt today. At the same time: I am categorically against indiscriminate firebombing of cities leading to 20K+ civilian deaths and if you feel that those civilians were a legitimate target because they happened to be in the city then you and I are probably not going to have a very productive discussion.

That's really the root of it. Unless I am actively searching for the exact something your small business offers, I don't care whether your business exists. I don't want to know about it. I don't want you to "reach" me. Your ability or inability to let me know that you exist is not my problem.

My browsing to a website (or watching a TV show, or driving along a road with billboards, or filling up my gas tank) does not entitle anyone to my attention.

Because ChatGPT has been opened to the public
I've had some really good experiences as a candidate, since my GitHub has a couple repos that are actually used by people and have some stars. I've even had an interviewer tell me he had used one of them before, that was nice.

As for hiring for my team, the results are unfortunately much less useful. The vast majority of GH repos are completely useless, half finished tutorials or some long abandoned project.

Sometimes I have found some really interesting work though, and this always earns the candidate an interview from me.

But I agree that I'm in the minority, most other senior developers or managers don't care about it at all. And I've never had a recruiter mention it.

Whenever I consider the UBI and "bullshit jobs" arguments, I end up thinking about jobs that we might need but don't inherently create economic value. In a society where we reward jobs that "create value" and have everyone else on UBI, who manages the country, who fights the wars, who modernizes the military? Perhaps these roles are also relics of the past which should fade away. Is being a lawyer a job that creates value or one that exists solely due to the necessities of a flawed system?

As tech enthusiasts, we often envision a Star Trek future where all value originates from science and technology, and everyone else has to justify their existence. To some extent, I understand this view, but it will never fully materialize.

Any practical system will be shaped by its current participants: politicians, governments, etc. So, by definition, "bullshit jobs" will be recognized as respectable in any system designed by humanity. In fact, they will be enshrined as the elite class, and then the entire utopia morphs into a mirror of our existing society. Those at the top remain entrenched indefinitely, while those at the bottom are viewed as providing no value—except now, this perception might be closer to the truth.
All the best!!!
It's still easy to say that the bombs shouldn't have been dropped, for one because it's a war crime and indiscriminate murder of civilians.

The issue with most folks selling books about how to avoid the excesses of DRM and other exploitative practices is that most people are happy to pay a premium for the convenience of having a digital library managed by Amazon, Google, Facebook, &etc.

Big tech companies must pay the bills for their servers in one way or another and charging people money to keep the data in their digital vaults is a tradeoff most consumers and producers are more than happy with. Consider the alternative to this. It would require every creative to manage their own payment gateway and digital delivery infrastructure and they would more than likely end up either even or in the negative as far as their own profits were concerned.

Maybe Doctorow has a big enough audience to manage his own digital delivery infrastructure but most authors I'm certain don't have the same luxury.

Here's to hoping then. Regardless of the outcome: consider setting up an entirely different payment route, one that does not have the the chargeback possibility and verify your customers identity by first having them pay a small amount (or even their first invoices) until the relationship is established.

If you're B2C then that may be a lot harder.
