An amazing morning to rediscover this amazing artist. I remember watching his videos when I was in school, enjoying his interpolation of popular video game ragtime. The last thing I remember hearing is that he was left comatose after a car crash, with poor outlook for his future. Turns out he's still alive and fairly well, which is a huge relief: https://youtu.be/mJ9IvYHd5ZM

If you haven't; treat yourself, and just listen through a mix of his sight-read performances on the internet. He's a rare gem and a treat to the ears.

> It doesn't sit well with anyone familiar with OSM.

Please speak for yourself :) OSM contributor here: I'm already happy if there's a great mapping product that uses open geo data, might not use it myself if it's closed source but it's better than google keeping everything to itself or behind a paywall. I understand it costs them money to keep their map up to date, but they could also collaborate with the rest of us and have free geo data for all. Apple taking OSM data for their devices, for example, is to me exciting rather than "not sitting well". I'd be ten times as thrilled if they'd open source it, don't get me wrong, but still
This is still true today, though. I am generally sick of the news too but sometimes it is nice to watch local news (WDIV channel 4 here in Detroit) from 6 to 6:30 to hear about stuff going on around town, and then NBC nightly news from 6:30 to 7 to get some more national info.

The two things that keep Python as the incumbent in this space is A.) It gets out of the way, sometimes to a fault, such that you can kinda write it without knowing what you're doing. This is a feature for most people, not a bug.

And B.) All the math/science libraries that already exist for it.

You can solve B, but until you solve A, Python stays put I think.

If anything the concept of “facts” or “the truth” is up for grabs. You can find any quasi-legit looking source that supports just about any version of “the truth” you want. And your favorite content aggregator will pick up on that and suck you into the vortex. It’s echo chambers all the way down!

Considering that even “The Experts” who many claim hold “The Truth” are subject to the same echo chambers and powerful tribal allegiances that everybody else is… you cannot really trust them either. Many will be more than happy to bend things to suit their political affiliations or sometimes even lie to you face if it promotes their narrative.

The most important skill, I believe, is question everything you hear. Only you can determine what is true and isn’t. Outsourcing critical thinking to others is setting yourself up for manipulation. It’s sounds ridiculous, but based on the events over the last three years I believe that is as good as it gets in modern times. There is no such thing as “The Expert”. It’s your brain against the endless tide of information and only you get to decide what makes sense and what doesn’t.
> It seems the premise is that those with a computer should be able to access others servers wholesale unconditionally. This premise is obviously wrong.

Yes, that is obviously wrong. Accessing a website doesn't give you anything like the ability "to access other servers wholesale unconditionally". Requesting files over HTTPS isn't a gorram root ssh session.

All a user-agent does is ask "Can I have file `/x` please?", "Can I have file `/y` please?", "Here is the data `foo=bar` for `/quux`" etc., etc., etc...

The server is free to say "200 OK" or "400 Fuck off" to any request it receives, at its own discretion, based on whatever rules the server administrator wants to put in place. Which they have the absolute capability to do. That is nothing like "unconditional wholesale access" to a server.

When C# shipped this change I was working on a large C# codebase and we were very worried about this. After auditing the entire codebase and checking every for loop, we found two pre-existing bugs in code which expected the 5.0 behavior and zero places which relied on the old behavior.

Everyone that I've ever talked to who went through the transition has a similar story. In practice no one even incidentally relied on the old behavior. Go rolling it out as an experimental opt-in feature is a good idea, but it'll probably turn out to be unnecessarily cautious and they could have gotten away with just unconditionally enabling it.
Why's that surprising?
This form of rhetoric for criticism is silly, though. For one, you are giving no charity to the side of my conversation. For two, you have to take it to the absurd caricature of claiming that others think someone is an axe murderer to try and make your point. Literally a type of rhetorical fallacy.

I flat out feel it is dishonest, in the vein that it is cherry picked data to further support a point that they agree with. Such that, using "this is a casual conversation" as a rubrik, I absolutely call BS from people when they say stuff like this to me.

If this was a "town square debate" where the conversation is partisan and folks are trying to score points, I'd agree with your assertion a bit more. But for casual conversation specifically, I ultimately reject this view.

Now, if the poster is specifically offended, I'm more than willing to apologize on that and to clarify my point. I had no ill things to say about the poster or the main topic. Heavily critical of cherry picked data, with a justification of why.

Note that this is with the benefit of a past where the Germans didn’t get the bomb, and we know they probably wouldn’t before the end of the war. That was no guarantee to these men.

Same, and when more than half your links are dynamic search results, it can pile on and really bring things to a crawl. I worked on a fairly popular auto classifieds website, and more than 90% of traffic was various scrapers, and some were definitely a burden. Worse, is that it doesn't show up in analytics as it's not running client-js... Ironically equally bad was when bing started scraping with JS and it skewed google analytics.

If all we had to deal with were the users, wouldn't need nearly the spend on the site. Started manually blocking some of the worst offenders.

Are you saying they would be using symmetric encryption?
Yep...This isn't really new to anyone that has any exposure to the business world that deals with actual good/services. Amazon had some program where they'd give a loan to business operator money to lease trucks, buy uniforms, etc and you get routes. The terms work out such that you make a certain amount money, almost guaranteed. To them, it's a form of insurance.

You deliver their goods. They track your performance. It's your business, but from a distance, they control everything. They have zero liability for what happens...it's not their company, their employees. But they can "union bust" by cancelling your contract. If a truck driver makes Amazon look bad, they will pressure you to fire them...even it's not their employee.

> It seems the premise is that those with a computer should be able to access others servers wholesale unconditionally. This premise is obviously wrong.

"Obviously" is a very strong word for what is pretty much your opinion.

As the system was designed browsers are an agent of the user, not of the web servers or the ad businesses. If you want guaranteed ad impressions and control go make iPhone apps. Taking an open system such as the web and forcefully closing it up using overwhelming monopoly power like Google is doing is not only disgusting but also incredibly anti-competitive.

> At the end of the day, even if WEI is implemented it wouldn’t necessarily get rid of an open web as it’s entirely optional.

For now. "Entirely optional" can be stretched very far. If you were banned from AdSense revenue and from appearing in search unless you enforced this, it would still be "entirely optional" but also pretty much trash your site unless you complied.

Around 1770, scandal sheets appeared in London, and in the United States as early as the 1840s.[4] Reverend Henry Bate Dudley was the editor of one of the earliest scandal sheets, The Morning Post, which specialized in printing malicious society gossip, selling positive mentions in its pages, and collecting suppression fees to keep stories unpublished.[5]: 11–14 Other Georgian era scandal sheets were Theodore Hook's John Bull, Charles Molloy Westmacott's The Age, and Barnard Gregory's The Satirist.[5]: 53 William d'Alton Mann, owner of the scandal sheet Town Topics, explained his purpose:

Re: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/LoopvarExperiment

I've mainly used Java which doesn't suffer from this particular problem. But I've often heard Java criticized on the grounds it captures values not variables, and that most other languages apparently capture variables. I remember learning Lisp at uni and being taught that it captured variables, for example.

So do other languages suffer from this problem as well? How do they deal with it?
Hooray for shared interests! :)

> I'm referring to the CCTV cameras in the bank itself

Ahh, I see what you mean. I do know people who hate even those cameras, but they do also understand why they're there and just silently put up with them while minimizing the amount of time they spend on-premises.

I think there's a bit of a difference, though. If I'm in a bank branch, it's effectively "their house, their rules", so CCTV cameras don't offend me there.

But if the bank required me to be searched when entering the place, I'd be strongly offended by that. To me, WEI is more like being frisked than being surveilled (although neither analogy is great).
"Guessing" implies those guesses are being compared for correctness against a reference. That only happens during training; the rest of the time, it's not guessing, it's selecting words. But then, how else would you expect a sentence to be made? First writing out all the vowels, and then filling in the rest of the letters between them?
You're absolutely right. However, we're not lawyers discussing law. We're random people that play video games discussing personal opinions in an informal setting. The point is we're getting hose fed "news stories" and I'm one mere person with a wife who I give much of my attention to, a job that I probably work more than my 40 hour share of a week at, hobbies that take more of my time, etc. Do you think it's reasonable to expect everyone with an opinion to have read a 237 page opinion piece on supremecourt.gov? Much more likely we're reading some editor's cut to speed along the process of absorbing enough information to be dangerous. I think it's fair to point out I might be missing some nuance of a judge's opinion because I didn't read their individual 45 page opinion, but in about 10 minutes I'm going to be reading a news story about China launching a real Death Star into orbit, and I need to get my brain ready to consume knowledge on that one, and then in about 25 minutes I'll be reading about covid-23.
Isn't "reasoning" a functional property though? If from the outside it performs all the functions of reasoning, it doesn't matter what is happening inside of the black box.

Here's a silly example I thought of. We can ask whether a certain bird is capable of "sorting". We can place objects of different sizes in front of the bird, and we observe that the bird can rearrange them in order of increasing size. Does it matter what internal heuristics or processes the bird is using? If it sorts the objects, it is "sorting".

To me, it seems perfectly obvious that GPT-4 is reasoning. It's not very good at it and it frequently makes mistakes. But it's also frequently able to make correct logical deductions. To me this is all stupid semantic games and goalpost-moving.
> Perhaps he should explain his reasoning.

Ha! To evaluate an AI's reasoning, you need to be better at reasoning than the AI, which is becoming very difficult as AI improves.

If reasoning is logical deduction, where one can make a series of claims:

a implies b

b implies c

c implies d

then a implies d

then it seems that these machine learning algorithms, that predict tokens based on prior tokens, should be entirely capable of reasoning. No?
