I saw a talk in 2009ish by John Lilly, the CEO at the time. Someone asked him a snarky question about Chrome, and I loved his reply. He said this was the world Mozilla was fighting for; where people had their choice of standards-compliant browsers. Mozilla did something amazing... it took a problem the average person didn't care about or understand (an open, accessible web) and paired it with phenomenal usability. That's their zone of genius.

I really wish Mozilla would do the same thing for privacy, data and user identity. Right now, Firefox is the only competitive browser not owned by a gigantic corporation. I really wish they'd spearhead a safe way to bring identity to the browser level, with a focus on keeping people safe and private.

They sorta tried with Persona, but it never went anywhere. Password managers are almost impossible to use for the average person, and Mozilla is in a unique position where they aren't a b̵i̵l̵l̵i̵o̵n̵ trillion dollar company (or having to raise VC money to build it). They could charge for a (headless?) email server that focuses on privacy, and pair it with an open standard for authenticating in the browser based on (any) email. We could get one-click logins across the web.

People still trust Mozilla (despite them doing their best to squander their reputation with releases like this). They could genuinely fix one of the largest problems on the open web, because they're one of the few companies without a prohibitive conflict of interest in the space.

Or do something else! I don't really care. But the world definitely doesn't need another Mastodon instance with the Mozilla logo, any more than it needed a cheap phone with the Mozilla logo or an IoT platform with the Mozilla logo.
The Medium is the Message.
Not everyone, but some can. Presumably there were other ways for non-married colleagues to figure out that situation. The author was talking about his and [some of] his colleagues’ experiences, not arguing for a position in the battle of the sexes.
There's an entire PDF which contains the entire email chain and many other emails.

Anyone know _why_ this instance in particular seems to be such a big hit among Japanese speakers? (Assuming these are not all just spam posts, since the built-in translate tool isn't working for me and I'm too lazy to copy them all elsewhere)
The tab freeze frequently and you need to kill the application.
People frequently overestimate the role of data in decision-making. Metrics, numbers and other quantitative information don't tell the full story. For a CEO to make decisions, the full picture must include qualitative information - risks, opportunities, market events, competitor's actions, etc. Metrics are just part of the full picture. Far less significant than many BI developers and "data teams" tend to think.
…Twitter literally does not exist anymore.
Mastodon has all the fundamental problems of email. It's actually worse because personal grievance can get you blacklisted by the cabal of major instances, instead of actual spam.

Yup, this is evil.
To quantify this a bit, the search area for Planet X is in the region of many hundreds of AU from the sun. That’s many millions of cubic AU to hunt around in. That’s a lot of chaff, without even considering how we would detect and track the chaff from this far away.
How do you know they weren’t all men? If that was in fact the case, would you still say the author ought to use ungendered language? Remember this is a personal experience, not a political piece.
this is pretty neat. I'm building a cross-platform project with yew and this should make things much smoother

I am, however, having trouble getting the examples to work. some issue with installing `aarch64-apple-ios` using `stable-aarch64-apple-darwin`

my rust-foo is limited, so I'll keep digging, but if anyone knows of a solution, I'm all ears and deeply grateful
That quote is specifically designed to back up my position, hence why I've quoted it else where in this thread.

This is evidenced by the fact that if Mistral's engineers had to make modifications to this model, they would use other code to do so. This model is not the "preferred form of the work for making modifications to it", but simply the best we have in a world that isn't used open sourcing these models.
A lot of academics are. It’s incredibly stupid and shows a blind spot.

Not really relevant to this tho, it’s a question of philosophy. His naïveté in foreign policy isn’t really relevant
1) what if it makes a mistake, and you get audited ? Could this be construed as negligent ?
I have an example where I used the Phind model and GPT4 in a mix. The goal was to get multiple iterations of the same code, written in different ways that I could iterate on.

I had this really annoying requirement to get multiple incompatible status codes, and output them in a consolidated human legible way.

So pretend I am using MSSQL, and I have 3 status code tables.

The status code integers are all slightly different. NEW is always 1, but "Completed" could be 5, 7 or 21 depending on table.

The actual "text" is an integer that can be linked to a Text table via the ID and Language name. But, due to the nuances being slightly different, each version can have a different ID.
I can't just use DISTINCT on the text ids.

This is even more true when slight differences like "Complete" and "Completed" exist.

So I need to use UNION, to 'combine' multiple unrelated status code tables.

Then I need to get the language text, and SELECT DISTINCT (or something similar) per language.

Then that needs to be outputted as a drop down for the user.

Then, I have to use that as a other, separate input for another SQL query.

To say "using fast, slightly inaccurate GPT code" was faster than doing it by hand would be an understatement.

It gave me about 15 iterations, where about 6 sort of worked. Then I figures it out myself from there.
Ah I'd heard of this but didn't know what it was. Thank you!
> Twitter hasn't gone anywhere.

Twitter the service hasn’t gone anywhere but Twitter the, I dunno, culture? is long gone. A series of changes have made it a notably worse place to spend time… so I’m spending a lot less time there.

That said I’m not really using Mastodon either despite having signed up. It’s missing something too.
It’s a fun experiment. Reminds me of years ago watching some movies on the screens of small iPods.

Also I will give it that it’s a surprising amount of movement for being just 6fps, that file.

Fun experiment, but not really watchable with this much loss of detail :p

(The movies we watched on small iPod screens were surprisingly watchable, thanks to having good audio and image quality in spite of being somewhere around 320x160 px resolution.)
The wonderful github UI links to all those commits as if they are within the mastodon project (and then prints a warning that they are not), which breaks all the issue numbers.
Yeah this is a good point. It all hinges on what happens during real development.
Did you miss that they were detecting byproducts of nicotine in particular?
That’s also a hassle. There’s no reason to claim there’s a right way to handle this sort of situation without knowing *significantly* more about the specifics, which we don’t.
If you are on the path of independent content creation and have a specific, fixed purpose in mind then it's no different to any other form of promotion of content, and will be viewed as such.

Our solution for the same problem was to just have different subdomains for each cert signer (and make sure we ship the right base URL for each manufacturer's app), so we didn't need to do any clever device-sniffing at the SSL termination point. I think rolling our own encryption sounds much scarier, but equally we weren't running at Netflix scale.
How do you reckon?

For contrast I've gotten a lot of use out of it for connecting with various topic focused communities and I've seen people do neat things with it. The python server manages to offer an awful lot of surprisingly high quality tutoring, all things considered, and a big part of it is through the automation they've built in via bots. Oh! And I found a server focused on electronics when I was looking for help repairing a damaged TV that had knowledge resources the likes of which I rarely see anymore.

In all that I never felt like the experience was hampered by discord's association with gaming. Honestly it felt like a chat client that wanted to be used - if you want to start using IRC as a newb today you first have to pay obeisance and perform the ritual stumbling through. Discord doesn't (or did not as of a few years ago) even need an account to get started, just type a handle and go.
Because many are unable to detect sarcasm (which is actually it's own serious problem), I'll add this to your comment:

It has a lot of stops, also theres issues with track speed limits. Additionally, it's running on freight rail, not passenger rail. So theres no hope of hitting 130km/h. (80mph in freedom units) On top of that our cars are grandfathered in and can't be replaced at the moment.
If the gravitational effects leading to inferences of a large extra-neptunian object were a “primordial black hole” would it still count as a planet?

But if not a planet, then what? Scholtz suspects it could be something even more exotic: a primordial black hole, one forged in the big bang.

Comprehensive part libraries are not an issue. It just needs a basic set of symbols. Most people doing PCB design will create their own symbols and footprints. Altium has an excellent footprint generate, which you can then tweak the output.
I have to say, I love chat gpt. I use it primarily to learn new frame works and to understand apis I have never worked with before. I also use it to help decipher error messages that I can’t find any help on. You can ask it very direct questions about any cloud stack or Unix detail.

That said, I can’t identify with a lot of the use cases here. They either seem to be a workaround for a non existing language feature or introduce a lot of liability.

I’m worried that ai may be promoting poor coding practices . IE the future of code is neither oop or functional, it is all just a copy pasta of chat gpt, endlessly and mindlessly chained together.
That's what IRC was originally for. Later, it took on a counterculture vibe. Now, it's mostly nostalgia for older folks.
Sure let’s all stop having fun and instead work non-stop all the time to “maximise our potential”. Because that is what life is all about right? Surely nobody wants to “waste” their time enjoying themselves or having meaningful relationships right? Let’s all bow before the God of Productivity. May we all grind ourselves to death sacrificing our lives in the honour and glory of Productivity the Glorious. If you are having fun or enjoying yourself you are clearly not working hard enough. Shame on you!
Live the project, great work! can you think about adding some ethical clauses to your license. Something to allow people to use it for good wholesome purposes, but to avoid letting it be used for scammers faking AirBnB listings for example
> why is our economy more successful than theirs?

"Higher market cap of equities" is not the same as "economy more successful".

First, much of the current market cap is due to past successes, which is not the same as current or future successes.

Second, market cap is denominated in currency, and governments manipulate the currency. In the case of the US, much of the "growth" in the market cap of equities is due to the US government printing money. For example, the article says that US equities grew by about a factor of 20 from 1990 to 2003 ($100 invested in the S&P 500 in 1990 grew to $2000 in 2023). But over the same time period, the US money supply grew by a factor of about 7. So the real growth (i.e., after factoring out the money supply effect) in US equities was only about 20/7, or a factor of about 2.9. Which is much less impressive--indeed, since the article says the factor of 20 was about 4 times the growth in other countries, the adjusted US factor of 2.9 might well be less than the real growth in other countries.

The recent posts are mostly test posts, about people coming from Threads/Nostr/Mostr, someone testing mp3/mp4, someone testing animated GIF, someone saying translate (from English) doesn't work, "hello world" and "good morning" posts, etc. It's mostly the kind of posts you see on newly opened forums, as opposed to the news and random content on long established forums.

Maybe someone mentioned that sign ups are available in one of those other social networks to a mostly Japanese audience, or maybe time zone just worked out better (it's currently 10am in Japan).
I'm surprised Japan's stock market is so small comparatively.
tl;dr "the body works a certain way so morality works a certain way" / "morals are advanced now because we're more tolerant"

Basically what he's saying is we are biologically wired to have certain morals and they are converging on some kind of ideal position.

This seems so obviously false that I must be missing something. Human civilization and society has to do with biology, for sure: we get hungry, scared, envious, hateful, desireful, etc; we need protection so we gather together and help each other; when we gather together a form of competition arises along with a form of collective. Clearly humans do certain things because of how our bodies are wired. But within those structures (the "limits" Chomsky was talking about, I imagine) we have an almost infinite capacity for imagination that dictates our behavior (morality being an idea that inspires behavior). You can come up with almost any kind of reason to justify your own kind of morals and what actions are the result. "I need to eat your child's still-beating heart so the imaginary man in the sky will bring rain for my crops!" There's no biological narrative behind that, this dude just made some shit up and everyone went along with it because collective behavior.

Human civilization and society isn't relative, but morality is.
The interesting part is that even with current tech this entire interview could be performed by ML-powered agents. Create text and emotional markup with LLM, clone voices with Paddle, animate pre-scanned models with SelfTalk or FaceFormer and voila.

In several years we will be unable to say if the content is generated by an actual media person, ML agent or low-paid shadow-performer.

Mastodon doesn't care to replace twitter, that was never the goal.

I would prefer to use platforms built around an open standard e.g. ActivityPub.

It sets a good example for social networks and the idea of choosing a server which matches your preferred level of moderation seems workable.
This isn’t learn OpenBSD …
Head start. Whether or not your friend is right, this is a bad take.

America has essentially had peace for the last 150 years. In 1911, the Wuchang Uprising toppled the Qing Dynasty. China was then brutally attacked by the Japanese in the 1930s where in the fighting and subsequent occupation 14 million Chinese were killed. In 1945, China finally became free from Japanese occupation but the damage was already done, and in 1949 the country underwent a communist revolution. Things were going pretty okayish until the famine of 1960 that killed 10s of millions more Chinese people.

For the last 50 odd years, China's growth has been tremendous.

A long time ago, when I was doing my mandatory military service, we were told about situations where we were not allowed to follow the orders of our superiors. Even in the military, we were expected to think for ourselves, make our own decisions, and take responsibility for our actions.

Employees are human beings and not property of their employers. As long as you are responsible for your actions outside work, you are also responsible while at work.
Almost everyone is still using Twitter, so it’s you that is gone not the culture.
He’s wrong and full of shit. America is responsible for like 5% of the civilian casualties in Iraq, Russia’s killed like 500,000 people, and they rape everyone they can see.

Moral relativism with geopolitics is cheap pseudo-intellectual play. America may not be perfect but we are definitely the good guys compared to Russia or China
It would be amazing if Mozilla picked up Sandstorm and ran with it.

Haven't used discord in years. So it clearly doesn't apply in general...
Cue people optimising for this rather than using grammar, punctuation, and capitalisation properly. :(
The most valuable code is the 2 or 3 prototypes you intentionally wrote in python and throw entirely away.

The no-code could easily fall into the same category, as valuable hashing-out process.

Any "proper programmer" should know this.
heck yeah, I watched an entire season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex on an iPod 5.5G Video :) Those were 320x240, maybe you meant a smaller iPod though haha
> why is our economy more successful than theirs

Because of history of course. We aren’t more successful than them because of current day American sentiment. That’s silly.

If you want to know why we’re so successful, look at what America was doing 50-200 years ago. Which actually is pretty ruthlessly capitalistic compared to modern day. Along with a lot of bullying, war winning, slave labor, etc..

We shouldn’t want to emulate past America. But we also shouldn’t be pretending that our wealth today is a result of our modern day system being more efficient than China’s modern day system. If anything it’s the opposite, as China has closed the gap on the US in the last 50 years.

They even have an email client already (Thunderbird).
Ah. I assumed that all came for free on a chipset these days.
Yep, adoption is another major issue. I'm shocked at the number of people who continue wasting hours because they don't don't want to learn the newer faster way.
They do! But paper copies do not exist. You can have a paper copy of your dissertation printed, but it is unofficial.
Worth mentioning that the population of Japan is about 1/3 of U.S., and if the chart was population adjusted it would look different.
Is it really different from current video-conferencing tech? I mean, why would I want to slap the display onto my face?
I did some more reading, and it turns out I confused QNH with QFE.
Now that lots of opinionated people have left Twitter, I feel, it's quieter and more pleasant to use. Not by a massive amount, but still.

Perhaps its my self-selecting bubble of people I follow, but it feels more like a source of interesting information now than a place where people fight with each other endlessly.
