And again, people think they’ve fooled a generative model by forcing it to do calculations in English when allowing it to write code is way more reasonable and accurate. That this is “news” or interesting is laughable.

That seems as pointless a question as suggesting that enjoying TV shows means you shouldn't care if everyone in your life constantly lies to you.
Wouldn't Pandora's possibly vast library associating textual descriptions with music be the ideal training data for something like this?
He got it from Eliezer Yudkowsky's somewhat different paperclip maximizer in a mailing-list post. (My memory of a Twitter thread a while back which included Yudkowsky, saying he'd told Bostrom not to worry about attributing ideas like that to him.)
O, OK, I suppose I made a mistake, thank you for correcting me.

> TLS required

I don't like this I think it should be optional and a different URI scheme should be used for TLS vs non-TLS. The same port number could theoretically be used (due to the format of the TLS initial data, it cannot be confused with a valid Gemini request), but as far as I know the existing software (e.g. stunnel) does not do that.

> no embedded images or videos

I think it is good to not have embedded images and videos. You could have a user setting to display embedded images for local files only or to not display embedded images at all (I think this is similar to what the Gempub specification says).

> Theoretically a client could choose to ignore some of that but it's not really a Gemini client anymore.

I think it still can be Gemini client if it is still Gemini protocol and file format just as well.
100 comments, but I must have missed the ones saying the real cause: anxiety. There’s a growing severe anxiety problem. Social, economic, even of the outdoors. That’s the problem to address and solve, and social stigma is a factor, but it’s more of a multiplier, not the original root cause
I don't see a better way to get flagged again as fraudulent pattern
If the bill is larger than predicted, we end up covering the difference (assuming that the services we showed the user are the ones the user ended up getting). We match the prices shown in the table of 'All Covered Services' that we show to the user, so if you go to a derm to have a mole looked at, it might be $150 for a consultation, and we'll tell you it'll be $70 to have a biopsy done, and if you get the biopsy, we'll guarantee all you owe is $220, and if you don't we guarantee it's $150.

In terms of padding the bill, we think that doctors tend to pad it in order to get reimbursed more by insurance, but they're pretty soft on holding patients liable to these padded things, and also they will get in trouble if they do it too much. We do need to figure out the patient experience though, our goal is that patients know the cost of procedures a doctor is recommending (for ex if my doctor says I should get an arthroscopy and an x ray, I want to know ahead of time how much it costs), and can make an educated decision on whether they want to get the procedure done or want to see a different doctor.

The pricing information, we're likely to publish broad analytics level information, but from a business perspective we're thinking that the discrepancies between the published data and our experiential data are really our 'data moat' for the business, so that's likely to be our IP (as it's what prevents someone from easily copying us by scraping our site). We want consumers to have to go through our site in order to get the pricing info, otherwise if it's just an informational site and people use us to look up pricing then end up going to competitors, we wouldn't be able to financially support the site existing long term.
The entirety of SV sprawl, especially along caltrain, could be dense housing. Every caltrain station should be surrounded by at minimum 5 story buildings but skyscrapers would work too. Yes, the issue is that these towns are captured by NIMBYs who strangle the zoning, it doesn't have to be that way.
If you are clear that you have been contracting then anyone who claims your short stints are a problem is not someone you want to work with. (I had one guy in a big bank claim that I must be lying!)
Expecting everyone to get a PhD is ridiculous. Even granting people enough time and enough Universities to manage this, there's a limit to half the world's intelligence. Unless you dumb down the meaning of a PhD, this isn't a realistic goal.
Because maglev trains can make stronger curves and climb steeper hills.
This is total nonsense.

It takes a huge amount of actual human effort to do all the most important jobs in society: grow food, transport food, make clothing, transport it, build housing, repair housing, build things for growing food and transporting clothing, healthcare, building hospitals... we are not remotely close to replacing the need for vast amounts of human labor for our most basic needs. We have huge trade shortages. We have bridges collapsing. Fuller's assertions are total fucking nonsense, only someone extremely insulated from the real world could believe what you just quoted.

The number of bullshit jobs is always small; first level managers manage a team of people. You have mid level managers managing several managers, etc, but the frontline workers always vastly outnumber management, even in bloated organizations.

And yeah, people should justify their existence by contributing to society. Dismissing that idea off-hand is absurd.
Earth to University of Zurich - none of the managers I ever worked for felt their work is pointless. On the contrary - they felt their work is so necessary that they were working very hard to expand their charter / mission / statement of purpose / committee / whatever....
AI helps as well. For instance, our company has extensively used coderabbit.ai since its inception.
You can run all this in a container, in fact there are already pre-built containers to do it
This is exactly what I did as a grad student when I taught classes for my prof. She preferred bottom up and I preferred top down. I wanted to give people a reason for learning what they were getting ready to learn rather than "let's start from first principles" that almost all my professors wanted to do.
"Stereotyping: It's OK When We Do it!"
People waste so much time the argument over which is better capitalism or communism when they fail to appreciate that both systems are technically failures because they both have not lead to a scenario where the cost of ensuring that the base physiological needs of every member of society has dropped to a point where it's just a given that every member of society will have access to three meals a day and a secure and warm shelter.

We throw away double digit percentages of our food every year and there are laws that ban people from feeding the homeless. It's fucking sickening.
This has been repeated so many times and debunked that I'm wondering if you're being sarcastic :)

We probably don't. Empirically demonstrating the effectiveness of an advertising campaign is notoriously difficult and expensive and few people in the adtech industry have any interest in paying for that kind of research.

See, for example: https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/1963405.1963431

There was a point in an episode of the podcast You're Wrong About where one of the hosts made a comment about how much you can learn about people just by observing what kinds of things we don't require evidence to believe.

I think that the effectiveness of tracking-based advertising might be one of those things. It seems to be tied to an assumption that, where data is concerned, bigger is always better. Ironically, statisticians and philosophers of science have already known that this isn't actually true for about a century now.
This looks so nice. I'm waiting for the Windows version.

>> If you earn $10k/yr, and extra $1k is a big deal, and can have profound impacts on your life. If you earn $100k/yr, an extra $1k is much less of a big deal. If you earn $1M/yr, an extra $1k is just noise.

This an economic fallacy. It only makes sense if you believe the only utility of money is is to buy basic necessities and you can't imagine doing things that require larger amounts of capital to start.
Not quite. This person provided an alternative to the aspect of society that they were critical of.
I don't anticipate everyone wanting to do this, and I definitely don't picture anyone wanting to do "work" for 40 hours a week in a world where work is optional. I would think some people will want to do a few hours a week of something in the category I'm describing, and many people will elect other forms of meaning in their life (maybe they love whittling driftwood or golfing or just want to watch AI-generated movies all day. That's fine.) The whole point is we'll have options, so there will be some supply/demand curve for meaningful human interaction that will find equilibrium.

I want to pick at this a little, because we do know.

Generational trauma is a thing. I can point to specific ways that my parents raised me, to counter specific ways that my grandfather raised my father, which were in turn responses to how my great grandfather raised my grandfather. So why is it surprising that the factors that dictated the lives of the great grandparents of currents students shouldn't also influence how those students act today? Especially when certain aspects of the lives of those great grandparents are still very much in force today?
A type. The same thing C++ does for a lambda, since you seem to understand C++ better.

This, and Warp's insistence on passing my origin IP to my destinations, are two things I wish I could customize when using Cloudflare. Before going corporate OpenDNS had something similar, and you could even set up custom behaviors per origin IP (for home and work), which I miss. These are good defaults, but I wish to change the defaults while also allowing particular domains to get my full EDNS info, like particular CDNs.

While I'm here, I'd also like to layer Zero Trust and Warp+ so I can toggle my internal network while staying on Warp+.

Also, the separation in Zero Trust and tunnels between routed DNS names and private IPs is very confusing. Why do I need both?

Custom DNS entries for Zero Trust DNS would be nice, so I could point internal domains to the external routing without having to have public DNS, or even have the domains match.
Respectfully, this seems like social anxiety or hyperbole. You don't go to restaurants because of the stress of the cultural norm of tipping? Seems more accurate to say you don't like eating out in general or because of the price of eating out once you factor in a tip...
Interesting. Some people are getting strong diamagnetism at RTP, and now someone is actually seeing zero resistance at a low temperature.

I'd take this as mildly positive news. It would be a surprising material if it were a high Tc (only in the LN2 sense) superconductor that is also strongly diamagnetic at room temperature (though I'm not sure if that's more surprising than a RTP superconductor).
Ambient pressure, not room temperature, some very weird behavior at higher temperatures.

This post touched on something I was pondering recently: disappearing.

If users of alternative browsers (Firefox apparently being one now) are more likely to block analytics scripts and more with uBlock Origin (etc.) then we've fallen off the map insofar as tracking us goes. Does that mean these browsers are actually more popular than statistics suggest? Is there any way of knowing? I suppose Raymond Hill would have some idea from the ratio of user agents who download updates, but that's just one addon among many.

Not that I'm expecting more than an additional blip, but even that would give me joy.
Trump is worse.

It's one thing to lie, and try desperately to cover up the lie and not get caught. It's much worse to lie so blatantly and frequently that people give up even trying to expose and refute all your lies. It's worse because it's more corrosive to the moral fiber (and even sanity) of the population. It is not healthy to continually bathe in lies. You can lose track of reality.
Ads are wrong because:

1. They nudge people towards buying stuff they wouldn't otherwise buy. This causes a tremendous amount of real waste.

2. Ads are a distraction. When I'm looking up something for work, don't bother me with ads, even if *you* think they are relevant. When I'm working, I'm not looking for a new job, or new pants.

3. On a fundamental level, ads work against the free market: not the best product wins, but the product with the biggest advertising budget.

And there are many more reasons ... Ads suck! And people working in ad-tech should be deeply ashamed!
I think the challenge with using ChatGPT to summarize or read factual data lies in the probabilistic nature of LLM outputs. So, your experience is what you should expect from LLMs. Though my understanding of OPs answer is that instead of using OpenAI to read documents directly they use OpenAI to generate queries to read the document instead.
Certainly no expert here but if you take the original video and replications at face value it does exhibit strong diamagnetism at room temperature. Superconductors are diamagnetic due to the Meissner effect at their superconducting temperature. This would mean LK99 is a superconductor at low temperature and separately be strongly diamagnetic at room temperature (no Meissner effect if it's not super conducting). Would that be unusual?
The thing is, if you have growing productivity but a stagnant population, either everyone works less hours or some people work and others don't work at all. So economists say we should grow the economy so everyone has enough busy work. Whether that growth is actually necessary or not doesn't matter.
One line I can't square with mandatory returns to office is that the same orgs and agencies requiring employees in office are also waving big flags about going green and fighting climate change.

I think scruple meant not just putting a github nickname, but specific links to repos. That’s what I do - but people still don’t give a shit.
If companies are going to force people to be in the office, then the government should mandate that commute time is included in office hours.

That means if you want me in the office, I will leave my house at 9AM, if you want me to be close to the office, then increase my pay and I will move closer.
I’ve got a few requests about it so I might consider it down the line!

No open-source plans although I might open source some bits I made for it.
Absolutely not. There is nothing tying a number to your genetics.

I mean, the consequence is that you won't be able to borrow money. On Big Tech salary, you can pay cash for things that a lot of people borrow for.

If you already own your primary residence and you bought in 2021, then you're pretty much locked into that home for 30 years. Interest rates will never be 2% again. So, what is your credit even going towards?

On the same note, you can just show up at your favorite doctor and say you'll pay cash and not tell them your insurance information. My doctor tends to bill my insurance company $200 for an office visit. This is unlikely to be a significant hardship for a software engineer.
I had alienware with 3080 16 GB, while it was nice but the laptop is so buggy with all sorts of problems both hardware and software that I sold it at the end, still happy with my MSI Titan, bigger and heavier but overall better experience.
I also think it shows how insufficient some management is. They coast on "butt in seats" and call it management. Being forced to actually monitor and assess work is a chore they previously skipped. Likewise ensuring that staff are properly utilized is another chore often skipped and them being remote forces you to acknowledge and confront this reality.
What specifically is wrong here? What should Apple have done instead?

I have a hard time getting behind some of these criticisms of audible and the like.

Its annoying, as I am against most DRM schemes out there. But to pretend those came from "big tech" is laughable, at best. A ridiculously large portion of "tech" is perfectly fine with sending copies everywhere. Is literally how many of us get our operating system. Music files and shareware copying were huge before the internet. Mod files and other demoscene music sharing was a ton of fun.

Specifically to audible, to complain about their margins without acknowledging that they have built a large part of the market feels dishonest. I remember audio books before audible. Usually ~50 bucks for book. As such, I owned maybe 1. So, congrats, the folks on them could get more of a percent of far far fewer purchases. Getting things for lower cost is exactly why I get more of them. Such that artists have gotten more from me, even with the lower margin to them, from audible than they ever got before. Wanting the same large cut of a smaller sell is entitlement on both ends.
What’s the explanation for the sudden drop between 230K and 250K? It’s not dropping to zero but something is happening there.
First, why would Facebook do that? What economic incentive would there ever be, that would outweigh the loss of trust and reputation hit that would ensue?

Second, people take screenshots of Facebook posts all the time. They're everywhere. If you suddenly have a ton of people with timestamped screenshots from their phones that show Facebook has changed content, that's exactly the kind of story journalists will pounce on and verify.

The idea that Facebook could or would engage in widespread manipulation of past content and not get caught is just not realistic.
What should be needing then is standardized commands to indicate which APIs it implements (which might be more than one) for any kind of web app services that may be available on multiple instances on multiple servers, that you can identify them and be able to work. Unfortunately, it seem that some do not do that (including Fossil; I tried to tell them to add such a thing but they don't want to do; I run my own Fossil and would want to expose some command to indicate its presence instead of being forced to use the built-in user interface).
i see what you mean, i suppose my concept of “explanation” could be closer to what you mean by theory
The behaviour is cyclical. It has been for years, really. It starts resolving every now and then, but rarely for long and I doubt this time is any different.

I don't think archive.is blocks CF based on their IPs, so they must have some heuristic in place to defect bogus EDNS. Perhaps sometimes that heuristics fails?
It’s possible there are tiny bits of superconducting stuff at room temperature which connect into bigger and bigger bits as temperature drops, until it starts working as a whole at 110K.

Maybe. Don’t quote me.
Permaculture: From forest to farm: Clea Chandmal
In a short video, Clea explain how all the huge benefits of a forest for the world, including humans, start with maximal sunlight capture, which in turn leads to many other benefits, such as soil fertility, plant, animal and soil biodiversity, buffering of rainwater, attracting rainfall, plant / animal / fungi / mycorrhizae / bacteria symbiosis, and many more.
That's absurd - you can't buy and sell from people who are too poor?

If you're not paying for a product in which you see the ad, it is your problem though, no? What's in the ad space is immaterial, just that is how the product is monetized.
Great example. The best way for most people to buy a washing machine is to read the Consumer Reports article on washing machine and then comparison shop.

This is the best way, at least in part, because Consumer Reports does not accept advertising or sponsorships.

And you don't find out about Consumer Reports through advertising, either, it's through word of mouth like this post.
Not necessarily, but every bullshit job pays the bills and most of them give at least a social context and a form of identification.

Finding meaning is simply less important than having food on the table and a social circle, even if it’s just the watercooler talk with colleagues.

Not saying it’s impossible to find meaning outside of employment, but my observation and experience is that it’s not as easy as "stop working bullshit jobs and you will find meaning easily".
