I don't see my comment as particularly profound.

I have lived for a few decades at this point and have noticed, like anyone else I imagine, a desire in (some, but a nontrivial percentage of) people to maintain lifelong ways of thinking and behaving that have been historically associated with early life.

For example, a desire to be praised and not challenged, to dress like a teenager even as one nears retirement, to show a degree of enthusiasm for pedestrian events that was once reserved for major accomplishments.
> How did we end up like this?

Because sharing personal stuff privately, on group chats, groups made up of close friends, family etc., is the normal thing to do, sharing our personal stuff on FB, IG and the like was the exception. No, it was definitely not ok to share photos of one's unborn baby on FB/IG for almost anyone to see, that was creepy.

Glad that things are returning to a sort of normal.
I've been using a similar setup for a while now. I just use SFTP for file sharing. Never bothered to try UTM's file sharing feature.
I personally prefer earnest over disingenuous. There are fewer opportunities to misunderstand.

A question by it's nature isn't aggressive. The words "should" and "we" are the real cancers IMO, as in "we should have done..."

I think your example of have you thought about, vs. Why did you is potentially better but I personally don't have an issue answering either question or feel attacked in either case.

I would on the other hand be concerned about working with someone immature enough to read in so far to perfectly innocuous curiosity.
Nice images. It's probably too much effort, but for the grinder it would have been interesting to compare the now rather old Porlex grinder with the much heavier steel burr grinders you'd get recommended today. Those are very noticeably heavier and more massive compared to the Porlex, could be interesting to compare.
I would much much rather see a reboot of the MOO concepts (persistent object-oriented world, global time).

I know the existing LambdaMOO core and server are still being maintained, and web-ified, but even though I am something of a dissenter from the whole Rust trend, I'm very interested in this, which is going about it IMO the right way:

The fundamental premise of open source is full access to the source with the possibility to make changes and redistribute those changes [0]. Anything else, including collaboration to improve the code, is a nice cherry on top but not consequential to the concept of open source.

It's possibly a sign that you are a good engineer. If you are using infrastructure-as-code, whether that is terraform or cloudformation, you are used to looking at a yaml or json file that does not include icons. If you have automated everything to the point that you rarely need to log into the AWS console, you probably don't regularly see these icons.
This is also the case if taught by any educator who happens to trust the source they looked up as well. The internet, text books, and even scientific articles can all be factually incorrect.

GNNs (for which LLMs are a subclass of) have a potential to be optimized in such a way that all the knowledge contained within them remains as parsimonious as possible. This is not the case for a human reading some internet article for which they have not gained extensive context within the field.

There are plenty of people that strongly believe in strange ideas that were taught to them by some 4th grade teacher that was never corrected over their life.

While you're statements are correct in this miniscule snapshot of time, it's exceedingly short-sighted to assert that language modeling is to be avoided due to some issues that exists this month, and disregard the clear future of improvements that will come very soon.
That's different though. I don't think your parent meant the "have you tried this approach" part but the very very fake and passive aggressive praise that then is turned into "actually I don't think you did great, please try this other approach". That's so fake and irritating.

See, the difference is in one case a person was beat-up, and there's evidence, their life was possibly in danger, and in what you presented you have a hear-say. A false report. The difference is that one has the potential to cause harm, and the other is actual harm caused.

> From your perspective you support one thing through censorship but want to deny what consensus tells you in other aspects of reality.

From my perspective I fear for my life. This is what is on the line here. Not my ability to commit hate-crimes, not my ability to spew bigotry. Consensus - actual people - on average are understanding. On the other hand, there's a trigger-happy, outrage-addicted, gun-owning, self-proclaimed-terrorist and outright blood-thirsty minority who is angry because the broader society doesn't accept their bigotry.

I will repeat, to you, it's some imaginary threat that has the potential to happen 60 steps down the road if you concede that hate-speech is bad for everyone and pushes people to commit atrocities, and to me, it's my life.

Ok it’s hard to say anything “absolute” about the purpose of education since it’s a philosophical/political stance and not a physical phenomenon, but I appreciate your cynicism. I see how the rich and powerful have shaped our public education institutions, and agree that American schools at least often push students into rote labor-focused paths.

That said, the discussion is about the purpose of classrooms in a world of AI, and I think it’s a good time to remember the less economic purposes of education that have always been there under the surface. I think few teachers are more driven by bringing economic benefits to their students than enriching/exciting/interesting them, and secondary and post secondary education has always had a huge variety of non-occupational courses, from ancient history to obscure languages to nice math.

Overall, I imagine we agree on the most important thing: if education does end up changing immensely as AGI gains footing, we should change it to be less economic
>No? Nouveau is an awful experience on Wayland if you intend to get more than 30% of your GPU's performance, doubly so for a recent GPU. The benchmarks are atrocious: https://www.phoronix.com/review/nvidia-nouveau-2019

To expand on this, nouveau is cryptographically handicapped by nvidias decision to lock reclocking and power management API's behind cryptographic firmware signing required to execute in FALCON High-Sec mode processors since the GTX 9xx series (Maxwell I think?) and on.

Even if someone cracks that nut; which they have, nouveau can't really reap the benefits of it due to the DMCA anti-circumventiom violation that leveraging that nut cracking would likely entail.

Therefore, nouveau is quite literally cut off at the lnees by Nvidia, and their decision to lock away those critical API calls where no fully compliant, "good-faith" FLOSS dev can actually get at them.

So saying nouveau is terrible is a huge misnomer/misconception, as it is entirely Nvidia that are responsible for the inability of anyone else but them to write legally unencumbered firmware to leverage the full functionality of the hardware boards they sell.

Going and placing the blame for "terribleness" on X11 vs. Wayland, then completely mischaracterizing the situation around nouveau, which os in the most heartbreaking state as a project that I can possibly imagine I tend to take as a glaring indication that someone knows nothing about the stack beneath them.

Wayland vs. x11 is honestly one of those things that infuriates me in the sense that instead of looking at X11 for what it was; a godsend in terms of providing a graphical desktop environment in a network transparent way, on machines that often were spec'd in the M prefix in terms of RAM and processor cycles, vs Wayland, a project born out of an impetus (from automotive and embedded systems groups if I recall the origin story) to have a quicker graphics environment spin-up on bespoke hardware.

I'll give props where props are due, but I still find the X Protocol to be a far from obsolete protocol. Even of graphics ptogramming isn't my bag, and counts itself as one of the chief items in my "bag of crap I haven't had time to sit down and really read/dig through yet

I believe a lot of online services refuse to do phone verification with VOIP so there's a cost to going this route. I wouldn't be surprised if they start to block prepaid phones soon as well, they already do for some online game registrations. I hope I'm wrong though, I exclusively use prepaid phone cards to avoid these billing scams.
Subscription is a psychology hack.

As an average Joe, if I see a one-off fee of $60, it seems like a lot of money upfront and makes the decision hard and may be if I stall a but, I will forget about the whole thing by next weekend.

Compare that to $5/month, doesn’t look so bad, I spend that amount for a good coffee and donut daily… let me enter my credit-card there… eventually I forget about this in one week but am continued being charged and there are too many little charges for me to go over and figure out where my money is going.

This subscription model is a psychology hack to reduce the resistance of general people and not targeted at us, who try to be extra cautious about the value proposition over long term.

P.S. I attended some marketing fluff seminar from big honcho sales people as part of business trip, thought I’d share it about where this sudden rise of subscription model came from.

OK, sure, it is possible to imagine a culture in which the principle of free speech is above and supersedes all other principles. That culture would be terrible. Suppose I'm at that bar and Nazi Bob starts spouting Nazi nonsense. Is there a social expectation that I stay and engage despite my desire to go somewhere else? If Nazi Bob hangs out at that bar all the time and I decide I don't want to go there because I don't like listening to him and calmly engaging with him is there a cultural stigma associated with that? If there's not, suppose I and a number of other patrons stop frequenting the bar. Is the bar tender then subject to some kind of social cost for saying "Hey Nazi Bob, I'm going to have to ask you to not come back because you're driving away other patrons?" I agree that the high school debate thing is bad, and in general I agree that people talking about ideas is good, but this idea that there should be no consequences whatsoever for what you say just doesn't survive even the briefest analysis. How would that even work? If you say some combination of words that elicits a reaction in me am I supposed to just not feel or think those things? Does that mean that I experience the consequences of your speech but you don't? Do I have freedom to not associate with you until you say something abhorrent? If I'm friends with someone and I say "Hey I think it would be really funny to flay your kids" or some other terrible thing do they have to just calmly debate that? Do they have to continue to associate with me because if they stopped being my friend that wouldn't be respecting my freedom to express my ideas? I'd argue that it's not only possible to respect freedom of speech as a principle balanced against other rights, it's _only_ possible to respect it as such, because otherwise the person with the loudest,most extreme, and most offensive ideas sets the tone of any conversation. If I don't have the option to get up and walk away, either literally or metaphorically, then my association with them and consequently my speech is coerced.

I thought Z was a reference to (NATO) Military time zones [1], where Zulu Time Zone is equivalent to UTC+00:00, but uses fewer characters.

iCal uses the Z to indicate times intentionally in UTC as well, as opposed to times without a time zone indicator (use unknown local time), or times with an explicity time zone indicator.

Using Z to indicate 'please use whatever local time seems appropriate' seems like poor practice, even if it's a common one.

What's deceptive about this comment (whether you intended that or not) is that later-term abortions are rare, expensive, and almost exclusively performed because of grave health concerns, most often because of detected fetal abnormality.

The term "elective" is slippery: in ordinary medical usage, "elective" means "not time sensitive" (as we all learned during COVID, when a wide variety of surgeries nobody realized were "elective" turned out to be). In the context of abortion, the term often (but not always) means "when not required to save the life of the mother".

At any rate: it is not the case that mainstream European abortion limitations prevent later-term abortions in cases of fetal abnormality (or, for that matter, to protect maternal health). But that's exactly what many of the restrictions you're defending in the US do.

You once wrote a post about how neither pole of US politics trusts the other to resolve hot-button political questions; gun control can't happen because Republicans don't trust Democrats not to grab all the guns, and an abortion compromise can't happen because Democrats don't trust Republicans to force women to carry gravely abnormal fetuses to term. That was a problem for you then, and isn't now.

At any rate, it is not acceptable to call in bomb threats to my local library (as happened a week or two ago) because of your culture-war concerns about abortion.
Such a cool idea, and attractive images. However I’m kind of disappointed they mostly picked things that are fairly simple, transparent or openable, and look exactly the way you’d expect them to inside. I assume some combination of cost & size drove this.

Same, and if you have a manager like that, just recognize that they're not going to be able to do much about it if you do help others. Just kind of ignore them if they suggest doing otherwise.
It's a strange formulation. I think the point is that significant inputs of energy or chemical potential are needed to make chemical systems behave like biological systems in terms of the permanent, replicable changes that Darwin called natural selection. That's how you get disequilibrium in such usually reversible mechanisms, which the authors imply is necessary for the origin of life. I may be missing a larger point, but these energy inputs are assumed in most origin of life theories, from Urey's lightning in a swamp to more recent clay replication ideas.
Yes, I think this is very true; following the Evennia discord, there's a lot of newcomers in there - newcomers to game development or even to programming overall, using Evennia/MUDs as a vehicle to learn.

Not to mention that a graphical MMORPG is one of the most expensive online games you can develop. Whereas a MUD (a text-based MMORPG if you will) can be created by a lone dev or small hobby team (not to say it's simple, no multiplayer game is, but it's at least achievable).
Right, if you have 7 different architectures, each with it's own register map, and then model-specific tweaks, you're going to have a ton of code like that.

Objectively speaking if they left years ago there is chance they are describing the actual availability of toilets as this was really low in some states (some states with under 20% having access to toilets) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_states_ranking_by_ava...

Afaik dealing with the shit was left to dalits, leading to their outcast status. So if one was a dalit in low-toilet-availability areas then ’shithole’ is actually a really accurate depiction of their objective experience and not a derigatory expression.
I like to say that Python is the keyboard of programming languages.

These days, we have so many different ways to input data and commands into a computer: multi-touchscreens, digital pens, even voice recognition -- however, the huble old keyboard still rules, even on thouchscreens. The reason for that is that you will be able to use a keyboard even if you have never encountered it before; you will be slow and make many errors, but as long as you know your letter you will be able to input text. At the same time, someone with extensive training and/on experience in using a keyboard can be incredibly efficient, inputting hundreds of characters per minute with minimal mistakes.

Python is in many ways like that: it's much easier to get you started with programming, not requiring cremembering complex symbols or syntax. At the same time, and experienced Python programmer will be able to write extremely complex software quickly, even if sometimes it will be somewhat slower than the equivalent in another language. And if you're _really_ experienced, you could even build performance-critical parts of your program in another, faster language while still maintaining the Python-based higher level.
