If you have a golden goose you should care for it.

Which, clearly, wasn't done. By anyone. But if your name is on it...

so that's a double whammy against them.

Why? Do you know how the contract was written? Particularly since the outsource company appears to be fronting the production, and "MrBeast" seems to be just lending his name (tho those details are light). There's a ton of ways to structure a deal like this that don't mean "didn't pay" == "bad actor".
Out of pocket maximums are a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of open heart surgery and other emergency healthcare related to bad eating and exercising habits. And those events mostly happen after age 65, after which Medicare takes over.

Yes, those with assets do have to pay a bit out of pocket, even after age 65, but nowhere near the costs of the healthcare they receive.
Looks like it’s acually 28, my bad; thanks, I’ll update and retry later.
>> 2. It can understand natural language.

That entire section is one big confused contradiction. The author argues that CYC (Doug Lenat's project to hand-code a gigantic database of logic rules encoding common sense knowledge) "can do deep reasoning" because it can answer this question correctly:

How tall was the president when JFK was born?

Unlike Google and WolframAlpha who can only find the closest association (the elevation of the town were JFK was born). Still, the author says, CYC would never "challenge humanity’s unique rational status, any more than computers that could solve equations did" because it doesn't understand natural language, only logic formulae. And yet, the author seems to be arguing that ChatGPT does understand natural language because... it can answer the same question as CYC; albeit in natural language, unlike CYC.

I think the author has confused the ability to return results in natural language with the ability to understand natural language. By that token, ELIZA (mentioned at the start of the article) must have also been able to understand natural language, even if it didn't have CYC's ability for "deep reasoning", just because it could parrot its user's input in natural language.

That doesn't make sense. Understanding is clearly something that needs to happen before utterances are formed. Just looking at the output of a system doesn't tell you anything about the internal workings of the system, that's an error that many people keep making in this entire discussion about "AI"s. Look at the sky: the sun looks like it's turning around the Earth. Well, we know it isn't. What we see on the surface is rarely enough to explain what is going on "inside" (or outside, as the case may be, for the sun).
New Best Friend: Introducing BloodHound Community Edition
Oregon decriminalizes drugs for a couple of years and we expect that the toxic drug crisis, homelessness, violence, poverty, petty crime, and child abuse will all magically disappear overnight. Yet the prohibition on drugs has been in force for decades and has accomplished none of its goals.

It’s fine to critique a new approach and work on improvements, but let’s not be too hasty here. We are trying to undo decades of harm caused by ridiculous policy failures.
looks like a pretty lousy mace to be honest
I think the idea is to provide your API as some part of the consumer internet. The problem is that a bunch of websites tends to be hard to be navigated meaningfully by a machine, since the machine must be able to process the moving parts in way they do not loose meaning. The idea is that you can simply change a link in a result to be able to split your API in an API that is served by multiple endpoints (e.g. microservices) etc.
The Uber's I take, the cars seem in perfectly fine condition. I've never smelled puke in a backseat ever, so whatever cleaning is happening, is working fine.

> but I don't believe most will want to destroy their car's value from the depreciation

It's simple math. If you're making much more money from renting it out than depreciation is causing, then it's an economic no-brainer.

No its not. And you shouldn't design houses so that mentally ill people can harass everyone in sight. In nordic countries you can only be homeless by choice or by mental illness.
>For some reason, she doesn't have single HDMI cable so she couldn't connect it to a monitor.

LOL. Outside of computer dorks what not, it's not very common for people to have a large selection of cables to go digging through. Maybe a drawer full of decrypt USB cables that came as chargers to a phone, but most people I know lose those cables and are constantly buying replacements. So expecting the average person to have a box full of random cables suggests to me you might be living in a bit of a bubble.
Because there's more to life than money. For King and Country.
When I got cachix set up in Github CI with my custom emacs package that pre-builds and compiles my configuration including packges, I was as giddy as when I started programming. It's over-the-top, unnecessary, overkill, and an absolute blast. Stuff like this is the reason why I've gotten into this whole thing.

(Also, I think overengineering stuff like this is almost an outlet, which helps me stay pragmatic and goal-oriented at work)
I think their response would be something like: If you want that kind of data API then look at GraphQL which was designed to do that, not some misuse of REST which was designed to do the things they are talking about.

https://htmx.org/essays/hypermedia-apis-vs-data-apis/

edit to add key part:

> The crux point of this short essay is this: API churn is fine in a hypermedia system because the messages in a hypermedia system are self-describing. We can thrash the API around and the application doesn’t break: human users simply see the new hypermedia (HTML) and select what actions they want to do.

> Humans, compared with computers, are good at deciding what to do and are reasonably OK with change.

> This is in contrast with data APIs. Data APIs cannot be modified without breaking client code and thus must be much more disciplined in their changes. Data APIs also face pressure to provide higher levels of expressiveness so that they can satisfy more client needs without modification.

> This latter situation is especially dangerous when these data APIs are consumed in a browser, because any data-api expressiveness available to a front-end developer is also available to a potentially hostile user, who can fire up a console and begin hammering away at the API. Apparently, facebook uses a whitelist to deal with this.

> Do you?
Agreed. Let's criminalize smoking and alcoholism as well.
I guess I have some not so unique experience. I was given a DUI in 2011 during a routine traffic stop. They officer cited I cut the protected left turn too tightly. The officer then said he smelled marijuana, even though I was currently smoking a normal cigarette. I was arrested immediately, my blood was taken, and being an occasional pot smoker, THC was in my blood, I got a DUI while completely sober driving to work at 9 AM.
I'm not sure I follow your reasoning. If someone is rich enough to have a 3 bedroom detached home, that's all fine and dandy, but it's a complete nonstarter to house 30 poor people in the same space? I don't see how that solution reduces or solves homelessness for low-income individuals, who may not be able to afford much more than a single apartment. I suggest having more empathy for people in different circumstances; one day you might find yourself needing just a cheap roof over your head and I hope that you never do. If so, though, I hope that (against your stated preferences) you find shelter, because all humans should have that basic need.

If we are looking at this from a business perspective (which might map), the actual wizardry is in knowing exactly when to push and when to sleep on something.

I think we can all agree that there are things you should think very deeply about before you even touch your computer or join the conference call. Things like what sorts of vendors and business partners you want to get married to for the next half-decade. If you want to be a Microsoft shop or some OSS champion (both valid in my view!). These kinds of things often times require starting a new company to fix after you commit.

In our domain - the thing you don't want to spend a lot of time worrying about is the entire scope of the actual code/development work. Assuming you are using source control, you have a superpower that allows instant teleportation to any moment in time. The consequences of making a bad choice and acting quickly are negligible, assuming you aren't trying to lose the game on purpose (e.g. master builds straight to prod on unprotected pushes). It only gets to be adverse if you are unable to separate the bad from good ideas afterwards. Not reflecting on your prior works. I believe we'd refer to this as the "technical debt".

I think it was Amazon that does the one-way/two-way door decision test. This is a fair criteria for deciding when to sleep on a proposal or when to shoot and then aim.
And part of the reason that succeeds is because graphite is very light. A chunk of LK-99 is three times as dense, so getting it to levitate is extremely impressive even if it's just conventional diamagnetism.
This was intended as a joke, but since most raw materials in the universe are the same, extraterrestrials deriving novel combinations is just as, if not more likely, than meta materials etc.

No, it does not natively, but there's discussion to do that [1].

There was a discussion here about it a few days ago [2].

I've seen a handful in CA. Usually they're visible from a large distance, given the flashing lights and traffic backup. Sometimes they'll even have signs up a few blocks in advance warning about the upcoming stop.

> Most English speakers wouldn't refer to a single person by two distinct proper nouns in a sentence like this, so I'd assume they were referring to two separate people.

I agree with this (though elegant and inelegant variation is a thing). But nor would any English speaker be likely to ask about the skill of an anonymous holder of a position with reference to an ambiguous date range associated with a time in which a later holder of that position would be extensively practicing that skill, which is why I classed it the sort of sentence with no natural meaning you'd only conceive in order to be deliberately ambiguous (or because you don't understand how to write English properly).

The original sentence isn't ideally constructed, but at least the president when JFK was born is a natural and easily identified sentence object, and it would be odd to ignore that in favour of an alternative interpretation that also involved interpreting "how tall" as being more likely to refer to the [probably-not-recorded-for-posterity] length of a newborn infant (who wouldn't be idiomatically referred to as "tall" or the president in the context of his birth) than the height of a person who was president in the relevant time period
That will not pass integrity checks (the script inspecting its own code).

It will also not work if the script is some initially obfuscated string that is passed to eval() or something more complex assembling the actual code on the fly.
What? I love NileRed!
My friend who was killed by a repeated drunk driver might have argued otherwise. If you can't drive responsibly, it's in society's interest to make sure you never do.
> it's difficult to argue that anything actually matters

> being in a hurry is as pointless as pondering endlessly to make the best choice

Only during times of abundance (very recently). Historically, survival would be thing that mattered, and time is very important for running away from things, finding antidotes to poisons/disease, social coordination etc..

Short-sighted at best. Goodbye news site.

The news sites already tried it Google's way for more than a decade, and it isn't working for them. It only works for Google.

As someone clearly entrenched in the tech echo chamber, it will come as a surprise for you to learn that there are many news organizations that do not give their content away for free on the internet.

Some have paywalls. Some require paid apps. Some are -shudder- only available as dead trees.

Many of them are thriving.

My wife pays upwards of $2,000/year for a publication that is not available in any form on the internet. It has offices and reporters in a dozen cities around the world, and continues to grow.

It, and others like it, don't need to suckle at the teat of Google for pennies.
Itself another aspect of the Founders' Roman Republic fetishism. The mace was inspired by the symbol of state authority, the fasces, composed of twigs that when bundled together were stronger than a single pole of similar girth. It was also a common architectural embellishment during the Deco era and is still on the wall of the US House behind the dais. The State of the Union cameras always zoom in exactly enough to keep them out of view, because the symbol became controversial around 1934 for some reason.

Interesting. I (also in my 40s) sometimes experience the vividness of reality in a higher quality than usual, and I vaguely recall that my visual experience was always this vivid when I was younger. Most of the time now it seems to be a bit dulled down. I always thought that this is because I probably need glasses. It might also be stress related.

What would cause such a change, and would there be an evolutionary explanation for it? Could it be related to vision only, or does it apply to other sensory input as well?
> The company announced it will ask its users for consent before showing behavioral ads in the future.

But surely, showing behavioral ads isn't the problem. The problem is the data collection and assembling of "profiles" that is required to show behavioral ads.

I don't see where they're committing to obtaining consent before they do that.
You are supposed to define custom hypermedia types (instead of application/json which is generic, you have application/foobar+xml).
Gen Z, Millenials and Gen X outvoted the Boomers in 2018.

Regarding organization, I have no idea. I would argue we're too busy with the increasing expectations from our jobs and we don't make as much money in terms of purchasing power as people used to.

I'm old enough to remember snail mail being dominant tech for communication. Maybe a fax machine if it's time sensitive but it was more expensive back then so a lot still was mailed. I'm a "elder" millennial, pretty much the oldest you can be without being Gen X.

That extra slowness from "the tech" at the time gave people excuses to slow down a bit, because they had to wait for replies or had to chip away at work differently. Research was a trip to the library if you didn't have the books. The internet didn't have high quality sources yet. If you weren't around your telephone then people couldn't reach you.

Now with cell phones, the internet maturing, and the exponential growth entitlements by investors we're all worked to the bone. If you don't answer the bosses call at 4AM you get a shit performance review. Oh and in spite of record profits this quarter we can't give any raises because the investors want that money.

I'm not sure about GenZ but us Millenials work really hard and have a lot less money to do anything with than our parents did. We're slightly better off than GenX though so I imagine GenX is having a harder time organizing. You need time off and money to be able to organize.

Most folks I know my age haven't taken a vacation in years. We rarely take time off, and often work late or a few hours weekends. Plus we're often working in the cities because of how knowledge and service work eclipsed other kinds of jobs, and the commute takes up to 2 hours out of our day due to congestion and sub-par (compared to worldwide) transit systems.
> This early proposal for Sandakerveien 58 B/C in Oslo was rejected by local authorities in 2014

Seems like early proposal had different FAR which seems like bigger issue than style.
Yeah I don’t think that my point was that I don’t need types, but more closer to yours that I’ll never really have an objective way to know if I need types.
"Seriously, has anyone ever made a non-toy implementation conforming to the idea of HATEOAS?"

Yep, your web browser uses hypermedia. But if you want something that is an API, then there is OData, GData and AtomPub all follow HATEOAS.
Is your attempt at satire trying to say "being against legal hard drugs is like being against legal obesity"? Are you saying that trying to curb hard drug use is as immoral in a free society as trying to curb unhealthy eating?
I mean, you kinda answered the question there yourself. The whole REST paradigm (spearheaded by the Ruby on Rails community) was strongly influenced and modeled after the HATEOAS paper and ideas. There's some talks and papers about it but I'd have to dig them up, but basically the working reference implementation that shaped the web for years is here: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html

If you walk around Gamla Stan (old town) in Stockholm, you can almost pretend you've gone back in time. Every building is hundreds of years old or made to look so, and all in a unified style.

If you walk around Kyoto's Gion district, there are a few streets that give you this feel, but if you stray but a little from the tourist paths it becomes a mish-mash of architectural styles, everything is encrusted in AC units, exposed pipes are everywhere, and a dense web of electrical wiring looms over everything.

If you walk around Gamla Stan at 5 am in the summer, it's a beautiful, relaxing experience. You can go in almost any direction and there's more of it. If you walk around Gion at 5 am, it feels like you're in a theme-park built on the edge of a razor. Fall off the razor's edge and you're in an urban hellscape.

If you built in this nordic neo-traditional style in Kyoto it would just add more chaos to the hellscape. If you build in this style in the appropriate place, however, it blends in. The right style is contextual. The greatest sins of 'ugly' modern architecture happen when it pays no heed to context.

Sometimes buildings should stand out but, most of the time, they should blend in. It's good that architects are starting to become more aware of this.
So would you just do any job as long as the pay was high enough?

"Potential superconductor breakthrough sends national labs scrambling"
Superconducting semiconductors? I doubt such a thing is possible.
A lot of Amazon product listings will explicitly mention YKK zippers so you can search for e.g. "backpack YKK"

This is a fairly decent way to find products of good quality. It's far from foolproof, and is certainly ripe for gaming, but it hasn't steered me wrong yet.
We might be talking past each other. I'm talking about what browsers Google blocks, ie what browsers don't get attestation tokens.

If Google isn't blocking extensions, ad fraud can still happen and your ad server won't recognize the browser as suspicious because it will have an attestation token. If Google isn't blocking spoofed browsers from attestation, they won't look suspicious. They'll have normal attestation tokens. Allowing a browser to spoof their identity as Chrome means there isn't really any distinction between a trusted and untrusted browser.

----

To your specific point though, let's imagine that Google does block those browsers in the sense that it marks them as untrusted, but it's up to the individual ad networks to figure out if they want to block those requests or not.

If the idea here is that ad networks will recognize that a browser is unapproved and will still serve it the content anyway but just auto-discard the data that's coming out of it, I would really strongly suggest that is not a very likely outcome.

You're telling me if I use Firefox and it doesn't implement this API, every ad company will just stop tracking me and will discard any ad numbers they get from me? If Safari ends up not implementing this API ad-clicks on Safari will just get automatically flagged as spam? No ad network is going to want to do that, especially if automatic hold-backs get involved. A policy that guaranteed lowers your monetizable impressions/clicks by at least 5-15%, even though you know for a fact that many of those clicks are coming from real users? I have a really hard time believing any ad network would accept that.

I have a lot of thoughts about this, most glaringly because we tend to use our perspective of social media to paint our idea of others, when in reality social media in general still only captivates around 55% of the general population. It's important to keep this scale in mind, to prevent us from giving up hope and claiming nobody cares.

We often keep the cozy web secretive due to eternal september and also underfunded. You can see how these loop into each other very easily. Can't fund a better solution when we keep trying to keep it a secret.

We're also very bad at framing things. So often I'll observe what should have been a slam dunk: convey why privacy matters and easy alternatives they can use/ways to keep themselves safer, yet they wind up just convincing the person why they should stick within the misleading warm glow of the commercial web trap. Happens so often! A complete lack of empathy, just scoffing and dismissal.

I say all of this to say, we can do better. We have ample opportunity, we need to stop squandering it and indirectly killing the cozy web along with it.
