While it probably won’t extend to firing, people experience significant social consequence for behavior of family members in the US (the exception seems to be “not if you aren’t also doing the same thing your family member is targeted for” but “not if you fully join in the imposition of social consequences on your family member”.)

I have become pretty wary of all headlines touting how a new chip is going to dethrone Nvidia. The problem with every hardware company is that they ridiculously underestimate software. I think the only way a company is going to start competing is by being software first. Make the software so good and easy to use that every one wants to use it. Only then is the hardware going to compete.
That's one factor. But the way I've learned best, is through stories. My teachers told all sorts of stories, and it made me very engaged in my classes. How can the same be said with AI? How can it make an engaging learning experience?

Even if you want it to, how could it make a very engaging environment when deep down inside you know it's fake?
YouTube could offer a way to block sponsor segments too. If a small open source project run by one guy (super nice guy!) can do it, they can figure it out too.

The sponsor segments can be longer than any native YouTube ad so it makes YouTube premium a bit useless.

I agree with you that the US probably doesn’t have an interest in undermining BAP, but cmon now there is ample precedent for US supporting Islamists and other unsavory groups. e.g Afghanistan, Lat Am and in situations like that US interests take precedence over the future of the said state or free and fair elections.
Yeah, people have woken up to "supply chain" problems, particularly with javascript and npm which is an entire tirefire.

But we've gone from 0% to 100% overnight and as usual people have adopted it as their new religion and they want to burn all the heretics and there can be no compromise.

I seriously doubt that this one specific issue was all that important in the larger problem of securing the supply chain, and there was a very good reason why it was done (which has now been entirely thrown away, which will certainly harm adoption of rust). I don't think it was remotely comparable to the way all of npm is a security hole.
So probably the issue is only limited to the website
The website was first picked up on the Internet Archive in 1999. I had no trouble finding memes from 1994-1996 on KYM, such as "Dancing Baby", "Ate My Balls", and "Goodtimes Virus".

In fact, clicking that "year:1994" turns up 108 results, so they're pretty comprehensive, although they only cover Web-based memes, usually with images, and not Usenet.

This is a problem with software culture in general. 99% of us refuse to declare an application "done". We're always working on the next iteration, over and over forever. Cramming unwanted features, changing the UI over and over, updating dependency 2.8.1 to 2.8.2 and re-building. Most of it is change for the sake of change. The app stores obviously believe in this endless treadmill, too, and enforce it: Since everyone endlessly changes their software, you, too must endlessly change your software.

If you don't believe this is a deeply ingrained culture problem, try proposing to your manager "Hey, this software is already really good and customers love it. Let's make this version the last one we release. We can work on something new." See what they say.
The Virtues of Being Bad
Being able to tell a client when you can get back to them will go a very long way towards mitigating their needs. For them it may be urgent, but knowing when it will get someone’s full attention, I’ve found is often enough. It’s basically saying someone is on this, and it’s in their priority list. It feels almost magical every time I’ve done it. The trick is having someone who can triage at odd hours in a way that doesn’t purpetuate the problem of having people be on when they shouldn’t.
One shower thought I've had is, what if something like an LLM could be conscious for the blink of an eye that it's processing information. Bare with me...

I've never really heard a satisfying explanation for what human consciousness is. Many scientists who study it say, "it's an illusion". But that remains an unsatisfying answer. It's like the childhood thought of, "how do I know you see the same 'blue' as I do?" Consciousness is something I subjectively experience, but I have no idea how I would measure it or validate its existence.

That gets you into some 'eastern' type thinking. Because if you practice any kind of deep meditation, or emptiness meditation, it gets you wondering – where does my sense of 'self' come from. And, am I really separate from everything else?

Which kind of brings things, in my shower-thought mind, to the idea that – perhaps we're being too 'western' about these questions; perhaps the whole universe is conscious? Perhaps things like multiplication matrices can be just as conscious as our chemically triggered neurons?

Anyway, no, none of this is 'scientific' – but, like I said, shower thoughts ...

As a teetotaller for many years (35->20 years ago), the quantity of social life was fine but the quality often wasn't great - aside from the constant questions about why not drinking, etc., the gradual slide of everyone else into drunken shouting instead of conversation was a suboptimal experience.

Would you go into a restaurant, occupy a table, spend server's time to bring you only tap water, loiter for a couple of hours, and leaving without paying anything OK? if that's what you want, go to a public library.

I think the sooner we move from ads-supported models to pay-per-use like Netflix, the better we are - those that can afford will consume the best content, and the rest will stick to public domain.

It’s hard to overlook the irony. It is so warm partly because we’ve been pushing polluting convenience over a little extra effort with less pollution. You should be agitating your government to make public transit an attractive alternative (because walking half a mile to the public bus stop in 43C weather is absolutely unreasonable). As long as public transit in the US is so crappy and unattractive, it’s a slam dunk for building more car infrastructure and exacerbate the problems further.

Th I/O module (TRS-IO) is just providing a way for a BASIC programs to send and receive network requests over the serial port. So yes, I’m actually taking the dumb terminal approach. I’m running a python server on a Linux box (AWS EC2) that handles the request then constructs an OpenAI call from there, then passes the response back to the TRS-80.

Can we just make private equity firms illegal?

I enjoy playing board games. There is a company called Asmodee that was bought by a private equity firm, went on a series of acquisitions and mergers, sold to a different private equity firm (who are currently looking for a new private equity firm to sell to). So many things have gone downhill for boardgaming since private equity got involved. Prices went up, they made it more difficult to get replacement parts, they killed off many products and made a shell of formerly beloved companies like FFG and so much more. Is there actually an example of private equity being a good thing (I mean, other than for the rich people that benefit from the private equity)?

When I was in high school in the late 70s, I had a Casio music calculator somewhat bigger than the one in the article, layed out horizontally instead of vertically, but probably had similar musical capabilities.

I found that by entering a number, I think it was 951, and taking the square root, it would play a melody that ended on an up note, and taking the square root again ended on a resolution note. So I could press on a special key to play a little melody! (further square roots were random and less musical)

I knew about Kraftwerk at that point (Autobahn and Radio Activity), but this was a couple years before Computer World came out. Now I wish I still had that thing!

I think your personal experience is perfectly valid but that quite a jump. I would say moderate drinking is a net benefit to some societies in multiple different ways.

While everyone is different I personally find that I generally become less violent when I drink.
It did come across as quite condescending. The fact is that I’ve tried IDEs, many times. They aren’t a good fit for me.

If we’re doing unkind takes though, I’d say a better analogy isn’t that the non-ide users are ignorant so much as it is that the ide users are, through a lack of ability or motivation, unable to create their own tools to improve their craft, and so take whatever bland uninspiring monument to mediocrity that someone tries to sell them. Like a person who condescendingly eats ramen dry from the package and informs the person cooking a good meal that surely they must be ignorant to not realize you can buy perfectly edible food at the gas station on the corner.

Now, personally, I prefer to think better of people than that- and I assume that people are just choosing to use what works for them, and to not be a jerk about it.

Why would it be fake? If you can have the LLM reproduce the stories roughly as is:

Student: "Hey LLM, I'm having trouble learning this concept."

LLM: "Here's a real story that a teacher shared with us that will help explain this topic..."

(Later)

LLM: "Remember that story from before? Here's another story from that same teacher to further explain..."
> Sheikh Hasina's government, while repressive, is also extremely popular. Her tack to neoliberalism has been enormously successful for the country, and most Bangladeshis do not want to change course. Her approval rating in multiple polls is 70-80%: https://www.dhakatribune.com/opinion/op-ed/322206/why-sheikh.... She has the popular mandate.

I don't know how connected you are with Bangladeshi politics right now, but poll-hacking through extreme repression is the first trick Sheikh Hasina/her party Awami League mastered. I am not surprised to see such a high approval rating, rather, I'm surprised to see 30% people signal disapproval in an environment with extreme political speech suppression. If you doubt that, read the story we're discussing under again. This is a government that's been jailing people without trial for their Facebook posts.

If you want to know some indication of the true feeling of the people, go check out the Facebook posts of anything related to the ruling party, and check the ratio of "haha" reacts to likes or hearts. Generally, that's 4:1 in my experience.

> removing the phone from the room entirely.

100%. Started this recently. It works perfectly if you can withstand the withdrawals!

The moment you start doing this, is the moment you have to confront how incredibly addicted you actually are to your phone and the internet.

It will feel like you are being tortured. And it's very easy to give in because the immediate consequences are quite tame (getting to sleep a bit later, little less energy the next day). But over time they add up.

I highly recommend trying it and observing your mind go crazy. You can truly start to understand addicts and what they go through.

The biggest revelation was that cold turkey doesn't work too well. Instantly cutting off access to your phone can cause you to be consumed by the desire to have access to it (moreso than you even felt before), and you lose a lot of mental energy fighting against this. Which can disrupt your work, and disrupt your sleep even more so than if you allowed yourself access to it.

I think this is the reason most people don't do it even though its such a simple and obvious advice.

Addiction.
I think we need places of both. There should be places that are facilities anonymous interactions. And others that require a real identity.

This allows for more extreme and less politically favorable ideas to be explored in anonymity while providing a public place that moves slower and takes longer for ideas that are less favorable to become more favorable.

We should start with congress. All votes yes or no must be attached to a name. No more of this yay or nay bs.

The rumors and articles on this are all over the place. Some are reporting that the non-pro phones will only support USB 2.0 speeds while the pro phones will support faster Thunderbolt.

Others talk about the cables saying that Apple will ship USB-PD (power delivery) cables which are specified as USB 2.0 with all of the phones.

Are the speed limits on the ports or on the cables or both? When these launch there will confusion for several days and perhaps until testers get them in their hands to try different cables.

I don't think we can get much useful signal out of these observations.

By the same logic one could argue that AI is the quintessential recurring hype cycle that always turns out to be a nothing-burger.

It's a particularly hard nut to crack because whether or not LLMs will turn out to be useful depends on future developments, particularly on whether there is a way to get them to behave consistently and predictably. Computers are useful because they are stupid pieces of junk that do always the same thing when given the same input.

If it turns out there isn't a viable solution to this, we are forever doomed to use LLMs pseudo-interactively, which is something, but a far cry from even the low end of what LLM proponents are promising. (e.g. all the current LLM "integrations" are very thin layers on top of the raw model).

It's fundamentally impossibile to tell, imho.
