If Gemini had picked markdown instead of gemtext I would've jumped in with both feet.

I get it though -- they're trying to resurrect gopher, which is what gemtext is a modernification of.

Still, I think markdown is our best shot at recovering the real web.

And yes, I know there's a standardization problem. Just pick a standard and run with it. Difficulty picking one is not a reason to pick none. And in case it wasn't obvious I'm talking about markdown without embedded html here.

The downside risk you’re protecting against isn’t “billionaire buys company and steals your account” but is instead the much more general, “I lose access to my account,” which you will agree is a much more likely thing to happen, particularly given that it has happened on Twitter, so it’s not exactly speculative.
The only thing absurd is your argument. Short of mind reading inputs and outputs are the only thing we have to determine what is intelligent. Go ahead prove to me you are an intelligent being without emitting any output and I'll 100 percent flip my stance and believe you.

That is the whole point of the turing test. Turing developed it simply because we can't fully know what is intelligent through telepathy. We can only compare outputs and inputs.

>- thus as per my original point, the burden of proof is on the proponents

There are no proponents making a claim that intelligence is absolutely true. There are only proponents saying it is possibly true.

Burdens are human qualities assigned to random people for no apparent reason. If it talks like a human then the possibility becomes open by common sense, burden of proof is just some random tag you are just using here.

But again no one is making a claim that LLMs are conscious. But you seem to be making a claim that it isn't. You made a claim, Great. looks like it's your burden now. Or perhaps this burden thing is just stupid and we should all use common sense to investigate what's going on rather then making baseless claims then throwing burdens on everyone else.
> There's no relationship between Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Scott Adams other than that they're people you don't like.

They understand how to manipulate people specifically or intrinsically. They are, each, sociopaths for better or worse.
The important principle is that people should be generally free to do what they want in public if it’s not harming others. It’s natural that it becomes more difficult to decide how to apply that principle when you begin talking about vague notions of harm, or potential harm, or harm that’s dependent on the personality or opinions of the person potentially being harmed.

Overscan/underscan still has a meaning even in the HDMI age, as do different black/white level limits, that all originate from the CRT era and its need to account for mis-aligned beams [1]. You may notice it when you plug in a PC into a TV's HDMI and don't see the title or task bar, or blacks look weirdly "off". If you ever encounter that, enable a setting commonly known as "game mode", and also check for color profiles as some TVs don't tie color space / temperature to game vs TV mode.

> and you can't tell me he somehow converts that to 1000x the labor of an average, capable, willing, working employee.

Yes, I can't tell you that because CEO isn't about labor.

I can tell you that impact of decisions of the CEO that I work for is at least 1000x bigger than mine.

If you don't believe that I don't know what to tell you.

CEO is not about writing lines of code, he doesn't write 1000x more LoC than I do, but he has at least 1000x more impact than I do.

You think great CEOs like Satya of MSFT or Dr. Lisa Su of AMD aren't at least 1000x average employee?
How? Jobs did have some original ideas, but it's not like NeXT was a resounding success on its own that toppled Apple & Microsoft. Being the ideas guy is different than the implementation guy, and in some cases he was neither.
Show HN: Resprite – Pixel Art App for iPad and iPhone
It is generally (almost always) the case that user accounts on a given service are the property of said service, you merely have the privilege of using them according to terms and conditions set forth by said service.

Which is to say you shouldn't rely on them for anything critical; they can and in certain cases will be seized by said service for any or no reason at any given time. This can be said of Twitter, regardless Musk, as well as any other online service (eg: Reddit, Hacker News, Slashdot, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix, Google...).

Journalism of this sort is merely stoking the emotional flames for sensationalism (clickbait!) and driving the mainstream narrative that Twitter is a goner and an evil that must be slain.

It's pretty awful to look at people who point out dishonesty on your side and see a supporter of the enemy. Without that premise, directing your question at somebody who pointed out an error/deception that you did not bother to dispute would be a non-sequitur.

Why do you think that somebody who points out dishonesty would think what happened is "completely ok"?
No you can't break it down. The experts don't fully understand the high level implications of an LLM. This is definitive. We have no theoretical modelling of what LLMs will output. We can't predict it at all, therefore we do not fully understand LLMs from a high level.

>If the mainstream discourse was "yes, whites are underrepresented, but they deserve it because they're dumb",

This is the mainstream discourse imo. The SFFA case didn't argue against affirmative action for non-white people, they argued against it for white people. They tried to make the case that whites were disproportionately legacy and athlete admits so therefore were dumb. (In my other comments I show that legacy students at Harvard actually had higher SAT scores). The SC of course had an ax to grind against Affirmative Action but the actual evidence, especially in light of the SAT distribution from GP, that there was AA for whites specifically I think is extremely lacking.

It's quite the opposite. Actually, using the same arguments SFFA made, it looks like Ivies discriminated against whites more than Asians. Remember that almost 1 million white students took the SAT in 2021. That leaves a huge number of high scoring students but somehow between only about 25-40% representation at Ivy League and Ivy League adjacent universities.

I think the myth of the privileged, entitled dumb white student with rich parents is pretty commonly used now. The excuse that high scores are a result of having rich parents who bought tutoring only seems to matter when the race of the student is white. It's ironically also the case that whites are the least likely group to take test prep and that test prep only seems effective in the style that East Asians tend to use which is the cram school variety or hagwon.

Keep in mind Google executive compensation appears to be biannual (his compensation in 2021 was 6M). Overall, his compensation for the past 2 years is less than .05% of Google's revenue during the same period. If the performance of a Google CEO even slightly better or worse Pichai going to have a much larger impact on Google than 225M. I'm sure plenty of the top 100 leaders at Google would be better than Pichai, but others would be worse and shareholders can't distinguish who until after the fact, so they saw Pichai as the best option.

I did a similar acoustic side-channel attack as final year project at uni. There's a treasure trove of findings in this area, I'm just waiting for someone to combine methodologies. There are pretty good results using geometric models, trained and untrained statistical models like this and others, and combining these features with assorted language models.

Here's a few random papers I read along the way:

https://doi.org/10.1007/s10207-019-00449-8 - SonarSnoop, which uses a phone's speaker to produce ultrasonic audio that can be used to profile the user's interaction (e.g. entering swipe-based passcodes).

Star players are a dime a dozen in professional sports and I don't think their influence on the team makeup is as rare as you think. In fact, a big name star might have _more_ hiring power than a typical CEO in a public company.
Maybe a weird take, but I think stand-ups and scrum and such intentionally sacrifice flow state in exchange for visibility and consistency. The small tickets, triage, estimations, stand-ups, are all anti-flowstate. But they allow you to get closer to actually measuring developer performance. It lets you compare teams and "debug" late projects. But all at the cost of potentially faster but unmeasurable devs.

They seem pretty certain given how easily the epicycles keep getting adopted to keep DM alive, and how readily they dismiss MOND.

There are papers that do this actually, such as superfluid DM. Regardless, the lack of justification for an empirical law does not refute the existence of the effect it describes. Unfortunately, DM proponents seem adamant in not trying to explain this effect in terms of DM.
Well, you tell me: was it?

I assume we're having a good faith conversation?
You asked for examples where it could do better than you and you stated it couldn't be creative. I gave you an example both in text form and in picture form where it is creative and it does better than you.

First this proves it can do better than you. The word salad is likely better than anything you can come up with. Again feel free to prove me wrong here by doing better. Draw me a better illustration and write me a better poem. These are your initial points. Stick to the point and prove me wrong. Do not deviate.

Second there is no denying this is creative. Both the picture and the text are the definition of creative. Whether it's a poem or not is besides the point. Whether it's "particularly creative" or not is also besides the point. The picture and the text prove your initial points wrong. I will be sticking to this point until you prove otherwise. Until then I request you do not deviate the conversation to alternative points.

This is hardly a new concept btw.

In 2005 ACM's CCS Zhuang, Zhou and Tygar presented Keyboard Acoustic Emanations Revisited [1]

We examine the problem of keyboard acoustic emanations. We
present a novel attack taking as input a 10-minute sound recording
of a user typing English text using a keyboard, and then recovering
up to 96% of typed characters. There is no need for a labeled
training recording. Moreover the recognizer bootstrapped this way
can even recognize random text such as passwords: In our experiments,
90% of 5-character random passwords using only letters can
be generated in fewer than 20 attempts by an adversary; 80% of 10-
character passwords can be generated in fewer than 75 attempts.
Our attack uses the statistical constraints of the underlying content,
English language, to reconstruct text from sound recordings
without any labeled training data. The attack uses a combination
of standard machine learning and speech recognition techniques,
including cepstrum features, Hidden Markov Models, linear classification,
and feedback-based incremental learning

which builds up on Asonov & Agrawal's work [2] who came up with the idea the previous year (2004).

We show that PC keyboards, notebook keyboards, telephone
and ATM pads are vulnerable to attacks based on
differentiating the sound emanated by different keys. Our
attack employs a neural network to recognize the key being
pressed. We also investigate why different keys produce
different sounds and provide hints for the design of homophonic
keyboards that would be resistant to this type of attack.

> The writer may believe it when they write "most people ignore trees" but it is at least bi-model right?

I grew up relatively poor, and I can tell you that most Americans I have met generally feel deep anxiety about their economic condition, and that trend is accelerating. There are not emotional resources enough in their minds for things that don’t affect their immediate survival and happiness.

The problem is not people liking trees, they do. The problem is, if you were to ask most people if they would exchange 1/6 of earth’s tree diversity for a couple thousand dollars, their response would be “where do I sign?” I love nature and mourn for everything that has been lost, but I am convinced there’s no way we will be able to address the problems we face without first addressing the economic tragedy of most of the people around us.

Sorry for the rant, but I have also tried/wanted to address problems with collective action and come to the conclusion that it’s not going to be possible until we’ve better addressed the most immediate needs of the people we live with.
