Absolutely brilliant tool maker and grinding expert. Very good teacher, too.
"The prize he was awarded was a large clock that was equipped with a hand that indicated the sixty-first second — the “leap second”—and minute and hour hands that puzzlingly indicated seconds. The prize money was $10 trillion, although the unit of currency was not US dollars but rather Zimbabwe dollars, which had been discontinued at the time he received the prize. In fact, the prize money was worth about ¥170."

It's very easy to judge, at first, from these labels. In Chile they are "high in saturated fats", "high in sugar", "high in sodium" and "high in calories". So even a child can see "okay 3 seals... probably not very healthy".

Only problem with these sort of policies is a phenomenon called "complexification" [1] where in order to get rid of the seals you introduce complexity into the product itself to escape it (for example by replacing certain chemicals with derivatives that are not quite but very similar).

It's difficult to escape the race, but for a while, these policies do work.

This is probably the best package manager I used for Python. It feels a lot like Cargo. It sticks to the standards of Python. No custom lock files ect. Uses prebuilt Python so you don't have to build it. Handles global installs easily.
So I was finally able to get this done, and I really should have done it this way from Day One. My next-door neighbor quickly responded yes, and as soon as I knocked on his door we had the process underway and finished in 15 minutes.

It was really the missed connections with my coworker that wasted all the time, because I was counting on her alone, and let her set the schedule, rather than just find someone who could immediately do the thing. And perhaps I was a bit too eager just to meet a coworker in person after all this time. So I wasted, like, over a week and a half of stress.

Well I didn't garner much sympathy here, and anyone who said I'm working for the wrong company is very wrong, but thank you for engaging.

In comparison, I remember spending much less time finding "where is foo implemented" in Rust than in C++, and also found Rust std to be much more readable than C's when I wasn't familiar with each language. But I can see how rust with all the procedural macros, crates, traits could become a maze for people most familiar with C, and I probably don't feel that because of my C++ background.

I feel that a lot of Neil's suggestions while good have many problems with the fact that many of the currently existing datasets explicitly ignore these rules anyways due to their "research" focus. I'm curious to how this will stand in a courtroom and know that it's already unfolding in various legal cases. Sometimes I wish we'd slow down and think about the ethical issues of the actions of what we really are doing. But so far I haven't seen much of anything in regards to that. The OpenAI founder Sam Altman recently got in trouble for this exact issue with his somewhat questionable cryptocurrency in Kenya. I find it doubtful a robot.txt will be enough to stop this new wave.

A philosophy of software design Summarized
Proof-of-work uses resources like memory, CPU, hard drive space, and so on for their challenges which just means that the person with the most resources has a disproportionate impact within the system. A botnet owner has more total resources than anyone else so any PoW challenges that a server issues can be easily outsourced to the system.

Overall, they will have more leverage from these resources than the number of systems they have access to. But you could at least restrict this to the number of systems with provisioning keys. The idea behind memory bound hash functions is that you're trying to make it hard to paralyze the challenge to a farm. But many systems in the farm are still going to have multiple cores and gigabytes of RAM (so they can be used to leverage multiple challenges simultaneously.) The underlying problem to solve here is an identity problem: allowing an individual machine to act as a single identity which various proof-of-work schemes have tried to achieve.

The ideal solution would also limit connections made by the same actors but that is probably not something you can achieve with something like TOR. This is a sybil problem, by the way.
This stuff seems more important than the prize indicates. It points to the physical body being as important as the mind's internal state when it comes to one's sense of self and the world around oneself. Also I like this statement:

> "Higashiyama has misgivings about current-day psychology. Many studies place importance on overt, conscious actions like seeing and listening. And some psychologists conclude that people are of one personality type or another based on questionnaires that lack evidence, and which are therefore indistinguishable from fortune-telling."
Fair use doctrine has a lot of nuanced case law. I believe fair use has to be "transformative" upon the original, and it also cannot act as a market substitute for the original. E.g. if a new movie is substantially the same as an old movie, not transformative (e.g. like commentary or parody) and could reasonably be viewed as a market substitute for the old movie, then it'd probably be considered unfair use.

Just a few days ago I was reading "Thinking with demons," an excellent history of ideas about witchcraft in Europe, and was struck by the following passage about a 16th century drawing of three witches by Hans Baldung Grien:

Informing everything in the scene, and establishing iconographically that it is indeed a scene of witchcraft, is the gesture of the witch who, bent on one knee, stares backwards at the world through her own legs. According to a contemporary German proverb those who adopted the pose would be sure to catch sight of the devil. This is perhaps the reason why the motif is also found among the monsters and devils who populate two widely separated versions of that most demonological of picture subjects, the temptation of St Anthony—those of Hieronymus Bosch (c. 1490s) and Jacques Callot (1635).

So it was fascinating to learn from this news article that "There are also regions of Japan where the folklore says that one can see ghosts, the world of spirits and demons, or the future by looking upside down through one’s legs."
Leveraging the millions of man hours that goes into these run-time's subsystems is starting to become a "thing" I've noticed -- especially when running code not meant for them. For example, there's a Nintendo Switch emulator that I believe just uses the C# runtime's JIT instead of trying to roll their own. Lo and behold, it works and they've saved themselves thousands upon thousands of hours writing and debugging their own.

It's kind of cool actually.

I wonder if there's a future where somebody can just pick and choose language and runtime components parts to create the environment they want before even writing a line of code. We sort of do it a level lower with VMs and containers, and then pick and choose language features we want to use (e.g. C++), but I don't know of a good way to use Java's JVM, C#'s JIT, somebody else's memory profiler, another team's virtual memory subsystem etc. without writing a bunch of different pieces in different languages to get those benefits.

Ooh, I had a similar idea (but will not be building it out) - let me know what kind of feedback you'd be interested in getting. FYI the Canadian government has a nice central page with recalls.

It depends. Heh. Here is a chart for street photography with people. Even then there are subtleties - perhaps if one person is singled out or there's an undifferentiated group.

https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Country_specifi...

So, in most of Europe, street photography is just about over. In some countries you can take photos, in some not even, and then you would have to agonize on what can and cannot be sold as art photos or published.

Etc, when it comes to other mediums than street photography.

In the US in general, the questions are of "expectation of privacy" and of "commercial use" (i.e. advertising and product promotion) and creating fiction showing someone in an untrue and compromising situation, etc. And largely the rest is open. There's no issue with publishing street photography in particular.

Yeah and people read copyrighted books so they can get jobs and sell the use of the knowledge they acquired from reading the books.

I believe it. I once ran for office locally with no political experience on a wishful "average guy" ticket (I lost badly), and one of the hardest things about the process was taking criticism from people who didn't know me, who just wanted to vent their anger at the system or in some cases, trolling from the incumbent. It dawned on me pretty quickly during the race that the kind of person cut out to win and rise in this line of work has got to have skin as thick as rawhide, and a psychopath's inherent disregard for other people's opinions and grandiose sense of self would really fit the bill.
I don't think we're disagreeing. They're providing medical services, but they aren't providing licensed medical services.
It still seems trivial to game. Make up some "tell" for your lies. Maybe every time you need to lie during the training period you squeeze your muscles, or think of hard math problems. It would be very hard for the AI not to fit to this fake "tell."
Well the thing about testing with Haskell, the type system ensures that you're not going to have the most common bugs. If there's an error, it's probably an error in your logic or you did some math wrong or something like that. So testing, you'd basically write tests for your mental model of how the program should operate. And because of the type system you're probably going to use unsafe for a lot of test code.

I'm curious to hear more about the privacy and security practices of a service where you divulge your deepest darkest secret: that you're living with a disorder. Something that unscrupulous potential employers or others with nefarious intentions (e.g. bullies on the internet) can abuse.

The privacy policy on the website doesn't exactly fill me with "this is HIPAA levels of privacy" feelings. It seems rather generic with the typical "marketing information we collect" type of language, and a dearth of information around data protection, but I'm no expert in this stuff: https://www.shimmer.care/privacy

If I'm using this service, talking about all my goals, plans, challenges, shortcomings, being vulnerable, all over video, how do I know that it's protected? What protections are in place to know any video calls are secure and not going to be leaked on e.g. TikTok?

I know how hard it is to run a startup and get all the compliance checkboxes checked. I'm rooting for services like these instead of drugs or other worse alternatives being pushed. I just think if you're in the health space, this is a rather important thing to get right!
> If you didn't buy them, they wouldn't make them.

This is rhetorical sleight of hand. If "you" don't by them, literally nothing changes, because you constitute some insignificant portion of the market. What you mean is If millions of people didn't buy them, they wouldn't make them., but the parent is one person, not millions of people, and therefore their comment is entirely correct.

Here's a handy rule of thumb--if some problem is so intractable or of such a grand scale that you could devote every waking moment of your life to solving it without making a discernable impact, then it is so utterly beyond your control that you should not feel compelled to make non-trivial personal sacrifices when you know damn well that they are utterly meaningless in the grand scheme of things. Vote, donate, and try to enjoy yourself. Or better yet, devote your time and emotional energy to a problem that's actually in your power to address in a meaningful way.

Perfect example of why I said academic interest.

Awkward tie-ins between SBF and value systems (?) have no effect on practical usage.

A theoretical concern they might train on my API data after saying they won't doesn't either. Amazon might be training on everything not bolted down in S3, not worth wasting brain power on that.

The moderation API isn't some magic gotcha, it's documented. They don't want to deal with people fine tuning for porn. Maybe you have some ideological disagreement on that but it's not of practical relevance when trying to write code.

At the end of the day you're not alone in these opinions. But some of us prefer pragmatism over hype. Until someone catches OpenAI or Anthropic trying to kill their golden goose by breaking their GDPR, HIPPA, and SOC2 certifications, I'm going to take delivered value over theoretical harm.
