Well, the root article was changed on us. But, yeah, Doctorow and Sanderson both have had pretty high profile critiques of Audible? I don't keep a full index on the official lines, but summary is largely that "DRM bad" and "they give a smaller percentage to authors."

And, at large, I don't care for either of those things. I agree that DRM blows. I also would love it if writers and narrators and SFX crews and everyone got more money. I have grown to not trust a lot of the "big tech company is root of all problems in this old rotting industry" story.

Web Components are just an API, a means to an end. You might as easily say nobody cares for document.createElement() but it’s still used by underlying code all the time.

If it were much easier to mix and match components that use different frameworks then people would be using web components whether they know it or not. But we’re in a React monoculture and React folks seem quite content with that.

I just realized that a very similar approach could also be very useful in correcting and reformatting automatic speech recognition transcripts. I made another tool recently for making it more pleasant to read the YouTube automatic transcript text:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36777836

But even that is much worse than a professionally edited transcript like you might see in a magazine. I just tried uploading the raw transcript to ChatGPT Code Interpreter, and it does an amazing job of reformatting it in nice looking markdown, with speaker identification (automatically done from context) and quotation marks. For example:

*Lee Kuan Yew*: But when they said, "We are honest, sincere, coming socialists, just like you," I then revealed, onion by onion, I peeled off, broadcast, and I described how I met the plan chief who said he was going to work with me and so on. And it was convincing.

When I met the plan, he said, "We'll work together. You win, you release our people from jail." I said, "Yes, I have to do that." So I said, "How do I know you are the boss?" He said, "You have to take my word for it." I said, "Well, I believe this city councilor is one of your men, and he has penetrated David Marshall, who was a Safadi Jew, very bright fellow, a lawyer, non-Communist. And he formed the Workers' Party."

I said, "You get him to resign, then I will believe you are the boss." Three weeks later, when I was in London conferencing with the British, I opened the Straits Times, and the child had resigned. God, here was a man whom I had, when I became prime minister, I went to the Special Branch and looked up the files, and there was his picture, wanted on site, and deep in the underground, chased by the police. He could send a message to this fellow he did not know, and the man resigned.

So when I disclosed all this, credibility was established. The fight was on. You, in three different languages, when I finish each broadcast, the director of the station couldn't see me, I went into the room and found me lying on the floor, trying to recover my breath. So each speech was interesting.

*David Gergen*: Oh, yes. English, Malay, Mandarin, and you try that.

---

That suggests to me that I should be able to do something similar using Llama2, although probably not quite as good. This is very exciting to me though, since you would either have to sit there telling ChatGPT to keep doing each section manually and reassemble it, or you would have to spend a fortune on OpenAPI credits to automate it with the API. But with a local LLM you can just leave it running on a spare machine for free.
Interesting coincidence that the German Weissager arrived at a similar meaning and sound. Its etymology is wissen (to know) - Sager (sayer).

Syphilis in the Fergana Valley – Valerian Kushelevsky, 1891
The issue with using aerosols to cool the planet is that it doesn't address the root cause of the issue - the CO2 is still there. If you ever stop pumping out aerosols, the temperature will spike right back up very quickly. This makes the system very fragile. And remember, this stuff you now have to pump into the atmosphere is harmful in its own ways - it's toxic not only to vulnerable species but also to crops and to humans. Whether those consequences are better or worse than the full effects of climate change is debatable, but one way or another you ultimately need to find a way to get your environmental house in order.
In some cases those goals happen to align but that's merely coincidence and should not be taken for granted.

I think all the IP based providers in the US have implemented SHAKEN/STIR. There is still a small amount of non IP based systems which FCC is looking for solutions. And international calls will take some time as other countries look into implementing similar methods.
I agree, my intent was not to say that there are no standard at all, but rather that the constitutional phrasing leaves a lot latitude.

For example congress could legislate that some specific crimes should use "preponderance of evidence" rather than "resonable doubt" or even require that the defendants prove their own innocence beyond resonable doubt.

In the case of civil forfeiture I suspect that the individual whose property was seized has a constitutional right to appeal in some way, but also the constitution has little to say about the rules of that appeal process.
I think this is a red herring. These movements were unpopular because of what they asked for, not the way they phrased their request.
because Amazon will not carry it

This is a lie. Further, it is a lie designed to outrage the reader and drive engagement. It is enshittification. "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster." Saying Amazon won't carry your book is like saying the App Store won't carry your app...because you refuse to participate in a walled-garden software ecosystem.

The only good ad experience is contextual. There does not exist an experience that is enhanced by ads unrelated to the content being viewed.

Nah bad news all around. If Germany cannot keep up with basic NATO requirements, for example on spending, it imperils NATO readiness overall (since other partners have to pick up the slack). Hard to counter certain actors in Eastern Europe if your military operates on a stringshoe budget.

Lets also be real. If Germany puts in less in terms of funding and readiness, it opens itself up to exploitation by other NATO partners who in a pinch would be more then ready to excise certain concessions in exchange for running cover when it comes to NATO overall readines.

Perhaps peculiar to the incoherent egalitarian of our age, particular to the middle class: not quite rich enough. The same impulse that motivates the "oh, you shouldn't have, I can't accept this" bit of sentimental moral theater. There's a certain fear of being unmasked as a fraud. You don't quite have the money or je ne sais quoi you feel you should have before you can confidently claim the sense of superiority you'd like. Ah, yes, it's that old mysticism of money again.

Note that the king serves his people, and we do not typically characterize kings as inferiors. Parentd feed, clothe, and bathe their children in their early years with no risk to their rank. Perhaps here lingers a contempt for the work of the working men, an ingratitude, that inflames the strange spectacle of overcompensation, of overvaluing their work.

But it is simple. Either the arrangement is just, in which case there is no problem, or it is, in which case, what are you doing partaking in it, unless it is licit nonetheless, in which case, why the anxiety? Learn to receive what is given with the right amount of gratitude.

> But the description "police exist to enforce existing power structures" implies that the power structures are illegitimate, which suggests that the police are as well

I think this is fairly evident, yes.

> which in turn suggests we should tear it all down and start over.

Well it certainly suggests something should be done. Tearing it all down seems like a straw man though. Certain aspects of it should certainly be torn down.

> But I've never seen anyone who 1) recommends tearing everything down and 2) has a realistic (or even defined) plan to rebuild it.

I do think it's very funny when people use their own ignorance as evidence for an argument.

My understanding is that it will depend on the book? I'd love to see more discussion on that whole ecosystem, honestly. Some of the first searches seem decent to read on.

I just know that, even today, the audio books I purchase are far cheaper if I get them from Audible than basically anywhere else. Unless it is a book on CD I get from the library, for obviously different reasons.

I also know that things are byzantine to get an audio book from a library. Largely due to the influence of publishers, not tech companies.

Hmm, thanks.

Is there a way that my point, that cheating on a math test actually doesn't end up hurting people that it turns out actually didn't need that math, could come across as not bitter to you?

I'm really not bitter about it. I'm quite happy with my math minor.

It's relevant in that if they cheated/bribed, and didn't learn that modicum of math, to your earlier point, that the chickens don't come home to roost.
If you're interested in GNUplot, especially for the terminal, here is a demo of doing ascii plots with GNUplot (ironically inside a jupyter notebook, but hopefully it makes sense). You can replace the terminal with something sensible (I think Cairo is the usual backend?) and run from the terminal if you want actual graphical plots.

https://gist.github.com/rbitr/7bf79860c92974182bdedce79c7de0...

In practice I use matplotlib for most plotting because the data's already coming from python. I'm not a fan of any of the grammar of graphics plotting packages but some people swear by them.

Also, I miss Matlab.
> The Bill of Rights applies to people, not property. To rationalize civil forfeiture, the reactionaries created a legal fiction that property has agency unto itself.

For this to make sense, civil forfeiture and in rem proceedings against property would have to postdate the Fourth Amendment and be a reaction to it, but they don’t.

No criminal charge against the owner is required because criminal punishment isn’t sought, not because it is an in rem proceeding. Its not an end run around either Fourth Amendment search and seizure protection or Fifth Amendment due process, both of which apply. As does the Eight Amendment Excessive Fines clause.

> No it’s pretty much idiocy to basically throw away voice calls because you get a usually obvious junk call now and then.

Seems the other way to me and I would guess you’ve never tried it for any length of time. I get 4x as many junk calls as I get legit calls. If I don’t recognize your number, I send you to VM. My parents are elderly but they leave a message or send a text if I don’t answer. I add my doctors offices, city dispatcher, and similar numbers to my phone as soon as I learn them. It’s rarely a problem to hear a message and call back a few minutes later (except when they also don’t answer, in which case I leave a message and now have their number in my phone). Even works for large multi-location offices, who often show the same number no matter which is calling. My (adult) kids have been involved in emergencies and I see “City Dispatch” come up and I answer.

It’s just not a problem.

Maybe it’s changed but back when I used zocdoc, they charged a flat rate and the only issue was being downranked once someone booked with you. Initially we had all appointments going through ZD (because why not, it was free and we didn’t need to spend time/money building our own appointment booking system, plus I think it integrated with our CMS), but changed that when it became clear there was no organic appointments because we were at the bottom of the list despite being highly rated.

It’s been nearly 10 years since I was involved in that practice so I have pretty stale info
Only reason I would wear VR is to watch some really good movies with the experience of watching it just like the Apple commercials or being able to « walk » inside the scenes besides the actors. Not even sure I would appreciate the movie as much as the makers wanted me to watch it.

Make me walk on Pandora with VR, maybe I’ll like it. Anything else too close from reality, what’s the point?
Thanks for the feedback. There's an example in the linked GH discussion but let me provide a quick ETE example here, centered around parsing structured information from a hypothetical shipping company email.

1. In the app, write a TypeScript schema for this, one good example could be

interface DeliveryInformation {
/* Tracking number for the delivery */
tracking_number: string;
/* Status of the delivery, one of "preparing", "out-for-delivery", or "delivered" */
status: string;
/* Weight of the package, e.g. "2oz" or "3lb" */
weight: string;
/* submission date time representation */
submitted_ts: string;
}

If you click Generate you'll see it generate a context-free grammar looking text, which is what llama.cpp reads. Click the download file to save it as grammar.gbnf

2. Grab a model for llama.cpp, e.g. this quantized Llama2 chat model: https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-Chat-GGML/blob/ma...

3. Grab the prompt in this gist (https://gist.github.com/a10y/d926039eee63cc2bcaf6345f9a419e3...) and save as prompt.txt

4. Compile a recent commit of llama.cpp and run the following command

./main -m ./models/llama-2-13b-chat/llama-2-13b-chat.ggmlv3.q8_0.bin -f prompt.txt -c 4096 -n 1000 -t 1 --temp 0 --grammar-file ./grammar.gbnf

Intelligence definitely helps with gaining power. Humans aren’t very strong yet we have a lot of power thanks to our intelligence.

You can set constraints just fine. It’s simply a part of the goal: “do x without doing y”. It’s just really hard to find the right constraints, no simple one works.

For example “if I approve, make paperclips” - so it gets more reward if you approve? What’s to stop it from manipulating you into thinking nothing is wrong so you always approve? “Efficiently make 100 paperclips.” I already linked a video on why capping the reward like that doesn’t work, but if you don’t want to watch it the gist is that for your suggestion it may just make a maximiser which is pretty guaranteed to make at least 100, and is pretty efficient because it’s not doing much work itself. Then the maximiser kills us all
> * edit: Let me just add that Apple TV hardware which is largely abandoned and afterthought product line considered unsuccessful, for example is a 13M/year item for Apple. 20M lifetime is not mass market.

Source? https://www.businessofapps.com/data/apple-statistics/#AppleT... says there 31M active Apple TVs in the US. https://9to5mac.com/2020/09/02/apple-tv-market-share-report/ says Apple TV has 2% share of 1.14B global TV platforms. These don't look like 13M/year of sales.

Besides it seems like comparing apples to oranges. Apple TV works with existing TVs which are already billions in numbers. VR devices are completely new devices. Meta has sold 20M headsets SO FAR, not in its lifetime.

That is maybe true for a small percentage of stories.
You are also reducing this argument to the most construed straw man instead of engaging with the idea in earnest.

If you can't alter world news headlines, you can still alter the tone of the article.
If you can't alter front page news, you still can alter the remaining 95% of news.

Influencing public opinion is more subtle than the one important headline per day.

You are also ignoring the fact that news sites regularly edit published articles already, from fixed typos to corrections to large re-editings.
