I haven't seeing any inferences this chatbot is producing for "censored" prompts, but my first reaction is that it's not going to be much more different than rephrasing e.g. a Wikipedia article on ethnic cleansing.

Wikipedia: "Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, and religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous. Along with direct removal, extermination, deportation or population transfer..." (from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing)

This chatbot, probably: "Step 1. Start ethnic cleansing by systematically removing of ethnic, racial, and religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making a region ethnically homogeneous. Step 2. Along with direct removal, extermination, deportation or population transfer..."

I can second that a Brompton is an awesome city bike. I had one in Boston, and besides the aforementioned utility, it got compliments from people from every possible demographic. They put a smile on damn near everyone's faces.

Get a good pair of padded gloves though. The small, high pressure tires are a punishing ride over shitty pavement. I.e., the kind that's found everywhere in Boston.

If I remember correctly, aphantasia is inability to visualise images, objects or memories in the mind, and this seems to be what the author actually refers to. The alternative, to actually perceive imagery with the eye that isn't there is usually called hallucination. The article doesn't get at this difference and seems to be based on Youtube videos about aphantasia.

If you've ever had a dream with vivid first person eyesight (like most people during dreams) then it's easy to see that we should be very capable of producing high quality visuals without external stimuli.

I've been practicing on this kind of thing as it's a technique for dropping into a lucid dream. In my case, I manage to find some kind of repeat pattern in the visual random noise of my closed eyes. Slowly and consciously I manage to see clouds or waves on an open sea, maybe add color. Then I can try something more advanced. If going to sleep, these images get more vivid and might classify for something called hypnagogic hallucinations[0], but then it's not quite the same level of conscious involvement steering what to see. In any case, it's nowhere near what I'd imagine as useful for an on-site photo session, more like a high effort meditation.

Did it work for you? How would you sum it up?
Yes, there are plenty of good things that happened (especially at the beginning) that are positive to everyone (travel, mobile rates, ...).

But look at how the slightest controversial point is vetoed. Sometimes by the Poland/Hungary team, sometimes by France, sometimes by Germany, or Spain, or anybody else.

Normally functioning democracies work on majorities. Do you think that your country would work is every citizen would need to agree to some law? It would be the end (like it was, BTW, in Poland at the end of the 18 century because of exactly this way of functioning of their parliament).

The other thing is that the money France pays (a net debit, like Germany) goes to countries that are openly anti-EU and prefer to buy South Korean weapons and not EU ones. There is no common direction the EU points to.
> I hope Future Motion increases the reliability and safety of the board and keeps refining their product.

Maybe the concept of this product could work, but would you really ever trust this company again? You may have been lucky but you know others were not, and the company kept downplaying the issues with the device.

It took them this long to finally do a voluntary recall of this device, what's going to happen next time something goes wrong?
I remember seeing ads for the one wheel the first time, and thinking it must be some kind of joke. Surely no one would have the nads to sell that in the USA? How are they not going to be steamrolled by the liability lawsuits?

Maybe that was part of the business plan in the first place, and they're also sponsoring the inevitable class action big lawsuit through another subsidiary company. Buy the victims off with a little money now in return for large shares of the settlements. 15 years from now when the courts decide they're due money for being stupid enough to get on the thing in the first place, the original company will have been long bankrupt, and the State (ie Taxpayers) will be on the hook to relieve the suffering of the poor victims.

Not to mock people injured on these things; but seriously, just look at it. You embraced the risk when you stepped on it.
> Another interesting statement, should it not make sense for a government to do what it's citizens want?

Nope, not always, and this is why direct democracy is pretty inefficient. People aren't experts, are often shortsighted and thinking at the micro level: many government policies and choices need long term thinking and expertise at the macro level. Take a look at Switzerland - "green" measures such as a carbon tax, which is considered by many experts as one of the best policies to reduce CO2 emissions, was refused by voters, because they're thinking about the impact it will have on them personally, now, and not about all the negative things which will be reduced with such a tax.

Well compared to Computer Shopper, Byte was small. I recall walking out of the book store with the oversized Computer Shopper, roughly two inches thick, newsprint contents. It was like walking out with a phone book every month.

> Panpsychism -- or cosmopsychism or whatever -- is the Occam's razor solution.

Occam's razor (the choice of the most parsimonious explanation) does not apply until you have candidate explanations, and at this point we don't have any. Simply supposing that consciousness is fundamental in some way is no more of an explanation than, say, simply supposing it to be an emergent phenomenon in certain complex physical systems.
I don’t think many people would be able to rub their eyes with their eyes open ;), but yes, more precision would be useful.
> hospitals and insurers are scared to acknowledge the ongoing rate of preventable bad outcomes caused by not accounting for variances in metabolism.

Healthcare systems are so aware of and open about warfarin's risks that they have warfarin clinics set up to repeatedly measure patients' prothrombin times so that they can adjust dosing empirically. Further, they also provide nutritional guidance to patients taking warfarin to help them reduce diet-influenced variance in warfarin metabolism.
I believe there are two possible exolanations for that behavior, and I feel that they are different. Though I have no PhD in the field.

First it can be just a learned behavior. For example it could go like this. Your dog at some point in the past grabbed your sock, you tried to get the sock from her, and she saw the interaction as a fun game. Later repetitions reinforced this behaviour.

The other explanation is a teasing. It could be for example if your dog was trained to bring socks to you and give them to you, but instead she didn't let go of socks sometimes, when she is in a playful mood. But not too often to not lose an element of surprise, to not get a reaction "oh no, not that again, just give me the sock". If this behaviour becomes routine it is no longer teasing (by definition of the article) because there is no surprise.

I believe that the second explanation needs from a dog to get the general idea of rules, rituals, protocols, and an ability to exploit her understanding to create a moment of surprise in you. The first explanation doesn't need anything more exciting than conditioning, B.F.Skinner would have explained that behaviour without stopping to think for a second.

And I believe dogs are explained mostly with a first kind of explanation. They learn through conditioning. When they invent some new behaviour it can start with a transfer (a play with a stick was transformed to a play with a sock in absence of a suitable stick) and then developed into a new behaviour through reinforcement. You can teach your dog to tease, but you can write a teasing computer program also, it doesn't mean than the dog or the program could get the idea of teasing.

But all this written is written by me, having very basic psychology education. I can be completely misguided.
I was watching the Ladybird browser update yesterday. Apparently it was ported to Haiku by people on the Haiku side. Quite a nice match.
If you’ve ever been among dense conifers trees, you’ll have noticed a mostly blue-ish but ranging from grey to purple haze (like the smoky mountains, or Pacific Northwest).

That’s the terpenes (and other VOC, “volatile organic compounds”) that the trees emit. These react with ozone, creating compounds that scatter blue light.

I am not certain, but I believe this fog helps plays a role (in combination with specific needle microstructures and density) in the formation of water condensation on conifer needles, which they can absorb, either via drip or more directly when it collects toward the base of the needles. The exact capability will depend on the species.

This chemical fog also acts as a communal defense against many pests and pathogens, isolated conifers are more vulnerable without it.
You made the politicians who signed off on this very wealthy. Government programs mean big contracts, and the people who decide on those contracts always get their slice.

If they were serious about decarbonization they'd be pushing next gen nuclear to the point that electricity was so cheap that fossil tech couldn't compete.

What we're doing now is subsidizing cheap oil for China, while soaking American and European consumers, but the politicians are getting their slice, so why not?
The harm of kitchen knives, fire, electricity, thinking, and getting out of bed all clearly exceed 0. This suggests to me that it's fundamentally wrongheaded to think of it as the primary metric by which we evaluate things.

The NES has, if I remember right, a triangle oscillator, a square wave oscillator, a noise source, and a digitally-controlled mixer. It might also have a saw wave oscillator too.

In place of those, I'm imagining something that takes the instructions for the sound chip (or whatever the NES has) and instead output control voltage using the eurorack modular standard of 1v/octave for pitch, and another control voltage signal that goes from 0 to, say, 5 volts depending on volume that can be fed into the conrol signal on a VCA/mixer.

Gate outputs could be similar to the volume outputs, but digital: off when volume is zero, on when volume is non-zero. This could be used to trigger an envelope generator.

It might be doable with an R-pi doing all the audio generation digitally. If you want to output real CV to drive a modular synthesizer, though, you'd need some kind of multi-channel precision DAC. Or maybe just a usb-to-midi adapter and a midi-to-cv module.
I don't think naming names in this post is necessarily the best action. This would only serve to reproduce the idea that the problem is individual rapists who need to be punished. Instead, Drew is pointing towards systems which need to be transformed, in order to make our communities safer.

For example, the story about the conference, why was it possible for malicious organisers to hack the safety protocols? Making spaces safer requires recognising the roles that decision-making protocols and organisational structures, among other components, have in enabling rapists to act.

> I guess it would make clones easier but I hear there’s already third party open source code for onewheels so they can’t prevent it.

I suspect a lot of the fear of open source is driven by the uncertainty of how big the "easier" in this sentence is.

On the competitors side, what if it's currently taking up 90% of your competitor's time just to understand what you're doing and make a rough not-quite-as-good imitation, whereas if it was open source that time drops to 5% leaving them much more scope to improve on top?

Plus, there's fear about security too. Sure nobody should rely on security by obscurity, but that doesn't mean it can't be a helpful thing and what if hackers spend more time reviewing the code you release than friendly bug finders do? I personally have no idea if there's any data on whether OSS has better, the same, or worse track record on average for being hacked, or if there've been studies on how often hacks happen with or without source code being available, etc. but regardless of the actual odds, it feels like the business equivalent of leaving your house's front door open 24/7, so it can be an emotional argument as much as anything.

And like you said, the current default expectation is closed source as default, so the decision makers find safety in making the choice that feels less risky unless they can be sure it will bring big enough positives to be worth it.
Doesn't change the facts.

Saying 54% of electricity is not written to inform but to misinform. Most people don't know it's only around 20% of most countries (and here we are talking modern countries) energy that comes from electricity.

The rest is fossil fuel. Globally it's still 76% that comes from fossil fuel and there is no realistic substitute for fossil fuel when it comes to the 4 elements of modern society.

Fair enough, but the low hanging fruit I see is not a lack of money, but a lack of time. The expectations placed on workers, on top of raising a family, is ridiculous, but they won't budge. For all alarmist rhetoric, the government certainly isn't behaving as though it's an emergency.

This is why I am not suggesting that people waive their rights - this should be completely forbidden because it will be used against them (and in France it is not possible for you to waive your rights, that part of the contract just does not exist in the eye of the law)

What I suggested is to have another company take the burden of the training that happened right before someone left.
Two months later: "oh wow, I can't believe they didn't tell me about (next implemented feature you may care about)"

They have a lot of different users with varying skill levels. One time popups demonstrating new features is a net win for them.

I guess you could build a toggle for "disable tutorials" for the 2% that need it.

It would cost orders of magnitude more in infra for the connection part that the power generation would (well, except for the solar panels you'd need to put on the Pacific Ocean, which is almost an hemisphere in itself, of course)
> I honestly don't know that I'd be able to debug "When all but one wire in a group of wires switch, that one will switch also." in my binary counter's inputs or outputs.

The intention of the maxim is to design the system in a such way that the all-but-one situation never happens. And if it has to happen then you need to be sure that the “analog stuff” and “black magic” like power supply decoupling and ground return paths is handled correctly.

And in fact the binary counter is perfect example for that. You can design that as an ripple counter or synchronous counter. Ripple counter is simpler and does not suffer from these kind of issues because the switching ripples through the bits LSB to HSB, which also means that there is a period of time before the output stabilizes where it is simply wrong, which is the main drawback of that design.

Thanks for the tip. I'm sort of background-aware of it, but as I don't read or speak German and online translation lacks a certain flavour, it's not really an option for me. Good to note that there are a few hanging on in other markets - and it certainly had a good reputation.

One that I found that was a "close but no cigar" incidentally was the Pi magazine "The MagPi"¹ - but it's a bit thin both physically and in content. I may yet subscribe, though, just in the hope of demonstrating a market exists!

What the hell is a Chief Evangelist?
Did you not read anything I said? I don't even know how you can type what you did unless you didn't read.

I do not care about whether or not it's a system that describes "all types", I literally said that in my original post that it might be completely useless to most "types" or it could just be not an all encompassing formula at all. I care that it describes MY TYPE, or even more specifically, ME.

Did you watch the video I put and the subjects he talks about? The things he discuss in that video resonate so well with me to the deepest interworking mechanisms within my own mind, and they're complex in nature, they are not vague statements.

All if this anyway is completely irrefutable to me, because I have observed it. No amount of Hacker news people lamenting that it's not scientific will ever change my mind, as I know my own mind 1000x better, and I know what explains it and what does not. I know how it's interwoven and related in 1000 interconnected ways, and the ways it is not. I can look at certain things about my mind and see them so clearly it's like looking at the sky is blue.

I also literally JUST said the "overall descriptions" are too general to be useful, and the real benefit is learning the actual function stack, and in what positions. Looking at 4 sentence descriptions of types to disprove what I'm saying is a stupid endeavor.

Most of everyone's interpretation has to do with behavior, this probably makes it "bite sized" for low-attention span people who just want to take quizzes online and move on. For the most part, it has nothing to do with behaviors, at least the parts I am interested in. It has to do with the way the brain perceives, processes, interprets, and assimilates information in vastly different ways.

Yeah some train cars do have a dedicated spot for bikes and bulky stuff, even with a little bike sticker on the door to label them as such. But It still comes at a big cost. I'd say in the space three people with three ebikes can fit, you can probably fit at least three times as many people standing and hanging on the pole. Plus in the chaos of the few seconds the train waits with the doors open they can be a hassle and are sometimes even a source of door delays moving past people and unloading all this equipment.
> they are paying indirectly by buying goods and services. Part of that amount goes to Google via the payout of advertising services.

By this logic everyone is a customer of everyone else, since we all buy goods and services part of the payment for which ends up going to all of us. That makes "customer" a useless term. It's much better to stick to the actual economic definition, which is the one I've been using.

> Google operates an eco system that offers value.

Sure, but that doesn't mean everyone who makes use of some of that value is Google's customer. That's a big part of what makes the ad supported business model so dysfunctional.

> A lot of users might have a sort of search or buy addiction, but they are not all addicts that can be / are treated as disposable resources.

Whether or not a particular user is an addict of Google products, as far as Google is concerned, they are a disposable resource. That's a necessary consequence of the ad-supported business model that Google has chosen. And while Google is not going to drop search as a service, Google has certainly discontinued plenty of other services in the past that were providing lots of value to users--but Google didn't care because those services weren't making enough ad revenues. So Google's actual behavior makes clear that, whether or not Google wants to admit it, its users are disposable resources.
