> But with the replication crisis in many sciences and political meddling abound, I‘d be wary of any kind of critical information, especially on Wikipedia. Of course, transformer models have the same issues

I think this is a bad comparison. The issues OP described are not limited to tainted training data. Being critical of Wikipedia and critical of science is not equal to treating text as a black box looking for the most fitting continuation.

LLMs are not fact machines.

When you equate this kind of error with the scientific replication crisis or generally a crtique of scientific methods and political influence (what about commercial?), I don't think this demonstrates critical thinking.
SEO / billboards / paid-for advertising is basically legal propaganda (arguably a form of mind control or more neutral we can say reality shaping through narrative structuring).

I think the only place advertising should be allowed is in a marketplace setting, anywhere else is "public domain" and shouldn't be allowed in my opinion. It is the root to many evils, it is the mechanism that trends towards hacking the user in the loop in a positive feedback system, which also optimizes at the users expense yet depends on the user. Quite parastic.
This was only one part of the story?

The reporting of a message's timestamp really depends on the system you are working on. And the key aspect is to genuinely think how the users think about that timestamp.
I recently implemented it in a real time system where I write things like
"just now" (within the last 10 seconds)
"more than 10 seconds ago" (between 10 seconds and less than a minute)
"more than a minute ago" (between 1 one minute and less than 10 minutes)
"more than 10 minutes ago" (between 10 minutes and less than 1 hour)
... (I think you get the gist)
After it say more than a day... then that's it the message is considered very old
Buy yourself a few recipe books from the seventies and the eighties in a thriftstore and your are good to go for a few bucks.
They're brand new cars. There aren't many brand new cars cheaper than that. A new Toyota Corolla costs more than $30K.

In the UK there's MG4 that is a surprisingly decent BEV for £27K (that's a price without grants/incentives), but it probably won't be available in the US, since it's a Chinese-owned brand.
Yeah, although I suspect there will be "hook points" for AI-targeted ads while you enjoy the cool refreshing Coca-Cola taste as 6ou read your LLM responses.
I don't have any experience of ACPI but it doesn't not sound like a sane alternative to DeviceTree:

> ACPI is the unprofessional, hackish attempt of bios and board vendors to solve a small subset of the problems that DT already solved long ago.

> In November 2003, Linus Torvalds—author of the Linux kernel—described ACPI as "a complete design disaster in every way".

I'm not sure Linus has the best design sense but it doesn't sound like he is wrong here:

> Much of the firmware ACPI functionality is provided in bytecode of ACPI Machine Language (AML), a Turing-complete, domain-specific low-level language, stored in the ACPI tables.[7] To make use of the ACPI tables, the operating system must have an interpreter for the AML bytecode. A reference AML interpreter implementation is provided by the ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA). At the BIOS development time, AML bytecode is compiled from the ASL (ACPI Source Language) code.

Wtf.
Interesting project. Do you use the resales API at all? I have a client in the Marbella area who could be interested if you do.

I think step 2 has been figured out a long time ago: personal not for profit blogs and sites with an rss feed and a "links" section (preferably divided by interests). Such sites still do exist, but usually around various hobbies.
As opposed to necessary stressors in previous generations (hot and cold wars)? If not all stressors are bad, which ones are good?
It even had reasonable device support (what I cared about worked) and a web browser. I’m sad that they dropped Nutrino, but am glad it existed.

> Apples intention with Safari was inside the name. "Safari - you're in the African jungle, theres lions and tigers, be careful, probably best avoided."

I thought the name "Safari" was along the lines of the early dominant browsers Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer.

Changing nature of Covid: Is it just a regular winter bug now?
Yes, I think this is where we're going. The entire Internet - what's left of it - will become one giant ad stream, with a few non-ad trimmings around the edges.

It'll be as if Gutenberg filled his books with ads for taverns and merchants and added a bit of a written content somewhere in the middle.

> But “just the skill without an associated degree” means this is a slog

Deeply intimate with this one. I live in an area completely dependent on defense contracting. I dropped out of my degree program years ago, but have an aerospace engineer friend who I handle software for if a project requires it.

Had the experience of running some flight tests this summer; the dinner conversation with the outside client, other consultants about who I am and what I do is soul crushing. Yeah, I took a week off my landscaping job to do this, will go right back to working it when your project is done.
Absolutely. Also the law of large numbers. And despite the downvotes I don't want to take that away from OP, definitely what they did was difficult, commendable etc.

Edit: removing a further unnecessary elaboration here because it feels like I'm just piling on. Initially the reception to my earlier comment skewed quite negative but it seems to have leveled out.
The LLMs are encoding the 'knowledge' they learn from scraping the clickbaity ad-ridden sites.

And, in the near future, the LLMs will start encoding the 'knowledge' they learn from scraping clickbaity ad-ridden sites _that were written by LLMs_?

Soon, shady SEO firms will be offering a service to get your product placed as the answer to normal questions people ask ChatGPT etc.

That's a pragmatic strategy to ensure that sensitive information isn't leaked.

Other than potentially including useful vector formats of artwork such as seals, logos and signatures, the visibility and/or mask settings can easily hide sensitive information that is trivial to extract later with standard vector editing software.

The print+scan method ensures that the person sharing the file is fully aware of exactly what is being handed over. It also deals with redactions which were not implemented properly.
Youtube just isn't valueable enough (in my mind), to get away with that.
So, how have you verified that your statement about this being made up by the author is correct? Or is it something you imagine?
This reminds me of something that always made me smile - when at uni I lived with an Israeli guy who made yogurt in a pan in the kitchen. When I asked how you make yogurt, the answer was “put some milk in a pan with some yogurt and leave it for a few days”. Not sure whether they’re in on the joke here, but the recipe for yogurt is to buy some
> The ultra talented person will laugh at the offers that employers are willing to make right now and turn them down.

I'm unmotivated to look for this reason. As an IC6 SRE, I won't get out of bed for less than $250k TC. I have a TC negotiator and an IP employment lawyer to pay before accepting any offer.

If were temporarily unable to find employment, monetizing SaaS product(s) would be my backup plan because there's plenty of potential upside by choosing the category and market fit with solid pricing.
Thanks for the tip with Octonauts. This looks indeed like a great show.

> First of all, Google is not the internet.

Google's use of AMP disagrees. With Google pushing AMP on users, it's possible you never leave Google.

And while.Google might not be the Internet, in general, it does have undue influence on it.

> Could do Google do a better job? Yes, so could do others. The fact, that Bing does not gain market share even though pushing everything ChatGPT related may confirms this notion.

That's a strange take. Google has a monopoly and abuses that power.
The creator of the Zettelkasten system Niklas Luhmann[1] wrote an impressive amount of papers and books due to his organizational system. I am roughly recalling over 400+ papers and over 60+ books. From my understanding of his system, it allowed him to create 'meta tiers' of his information in a similar but even more advanced way than web hyperlinking. This allowed him to quickly compile related texts and contexts with high efficiency.

That is how it works, precisely. You secure the network with compute. A computer requires physical space to run a computation. Thus maximizes towards using all physical space for incentives driven by network security.

Are you telling me that there is not already physical evidence for such? I assure you there is plenty of evidence for physical space being assimilated by the incentive structures related to bitcoin and its progency.

Taken across time to a civilization that grows into further complexity, there exists a limit into how much space can be used to secure the network, and most likely even incentivizes maximizing capture of space for computational security therefore it accelerates our civilization towards creating a black hole. I couldn't come up with a better way to fast-track our way towards a cosmic environmental disaster. It's a pretty bad incentive structure long-term.

If only we could get rid of artificial scarcity.
I wonder, does reddit have all their servers in the US? Seems like such a large site would have some POPs in the EU. If so, they should fall under the GDPR which let's users ask for a copy of all their data (a-la Google takeout)
I think it might be the web that gives. If you look at the birth of the web and how it became such a phenomenon, what we had back in those days as the dominant platform for end user applications was Win32. It was OK for its time but had limitations the web didn't have, one of the biggest was - you had to get a user to install stuff locally.

So what was necessary for the web to take off as an application platform was first some scrappy startups that saw the potential, Netscape creating Javascript was the first real opening salvo. And then when Microsoft realized the threat it went into overdrive and invented DHTML and arguably put more resources into the Web than a startup ever could, and then all this stuff started getting standardized and we got to enjoy 20 years of a new application platform where there was competition to control it and things were somewhat standardized and not totally monopolized.

Notably most people just forgot about Win32 and quit building apps with it, which would have been considered unfathomable at the time. Win32 had had its day and faded into something comparatively niche. I don't see why we wouldn't have the same dynamic now if the Web eventually becomes as monopolized and stagnant as Win32 was. Or at least, I think this may be more likely than the Web somehow getting rescued by regulators or anyone else.
While the article did use very dramatic language, that the Nazi snatch squads in Denmark existed, were about to strike, and indeed did end up arresting many Danish Jews just a few days later over the Jewish New Year is very well documented history.

I'm scraping jobs for a specific country I don't think you're in, but a couple of things:

- always keep the original data you scraped in as close to original form as you can (in next.js example, I just strip the unnecessary props - but only those I know are useless, see point 2) - there aren't that many job offers out there, text is easy to compress, storage is cheap. Eventually you will change the idea for what's important, and having original files to work with allows you to re-process them. Kind of like data vault approach in data engineering.

- prepare for the APIs to evolve, version your stuff. Have stringent validation (like json schema with enums and not allowing extra fields) to detect this evolution, so that you can adapt. This is extra important for portals with complex data models where you might not fully understand them at first.

- understand key fields - it's often the case that "posted date" is auto-bumped every now and then, depending on which package you bought. Try going through buy-a-listing workflow to understand the options. For multi-city listings there is often some sort of way of de-duplicating (like URL slug having a common prefix, or the data containing "main" listing). Spending an hour going through the data you scraped goes a long way.

- a lot of the data comes from manual user input or from some imports from the company's ATS. You will need to normalize those values in some way, and it's not always possible to do it in a lossless way. A good example is company name, which tends to change over time or be used in different formats. This is a pretty difficult problem to solve and I don't have any good pointers for this.

For the most part I keep the data in sqlite databases in format specific to the job portal, I haven't found a decent way of normalizing the data as the portals have very different ideas about the level of information they keep in a structured way. The only processing I do is indexing the values I need and deduplicating multi-location listings and same offers across many days/weeks/months. This is good enough for my use case, but falls short of making it useful for any commercial use.
Some older (pre 21st century ) motorcycles have a kick starter in addition to the electric one, and it does actually come in handy.

On newer bikes if the starter fails or the battery dies you need to unceremoniously push the bike to speed, jump on and put it on first.

have you verified that the country of belgium exists? have you ever been there?
Your characterization of the Swiss situation is inaccurate - it’s much more complex than you say for three reasons:

1) There are actually many more corridors, of which Basel-Geneva is not really an important one. St Gallen - Zurich - Bern - Geneva and Basel-Lugano are the main ones, but there are two routes between Bern and Geneva, there are trains connecting Zurich to the South East and trains connecting Bern to Visp and Sion. On top of that you have non-SBB companies like ZB.

2) The topography of the country is complex with lakes and mountains everywhere.

3) The scale is off: Germany is massive and you’re showing a map that includes the Berlin S-bahn, while only showing major connections for Switzerland, even though that mapped is 4 times more zoomed in.
This feels like the Juicero of tents.

The question's origins are philosophical but the answer is rooted in biology.

The answer is this: morality is not a rational set of rules. It appears this way but that is an illusion. The illusion feels so real that many people believe morality is 100 percent learned and attempt to codify it into a logical framework. The existence of this moral dilemma of the fat man is proof that morality is not consistent nor is it learned and that all attempts at codification are in vain.

Morality at its essence is a set of random competing instincts making us feel certain things are "right" and other things are "wrong". Usually these instincts are aligned but certain edge case situations cause our moral instincts to become at odds. The moral dilemma of the fat man is one such edge case.

We have one instinct telling us that thou shalt not directly kill or push the man off the bridge. We have another instinct telling us there's a logical numbers game of saving more people if we push the fat man. When those two instincts are at odds it causes this moral dilemma. We will not push the fat man but we will pull the lever. The logical consequence is the same but our instincts lead us to prefer one over the other.

These instincts were not created to make sense. They were evolved via natural selection in the plains of prehistoric Africa. For survival humans never needed a logically consistent set of rules to survive... they dont even need to understand the rules. They just need a set of behaviors that will help them survive. And in the end that is all morality is. Just a set of random behaviors that exist because of natural selection.

Many people are actually vehemently against this reality. They wish to think of morality as a higher plane of thinking with internal logical consistency. They are wrong. Morality is an arbitrary set of inconsistent rules that directs human behavior for the sole purpose of survival. All else is illusion.

This question of the fat man exists because we misunderstood an aspect of reality. We misinterpreted the true nature of what morality is and we thus asked an irrelevant question thinking that it's some sort of deep philosophical mystery.
They have two kids. Day care costs ~$800/mo per kid, so that ain't happening. Without a friend or family network, childcare is a juggling act. Maybe they opted for one to stay home. Maybe one can wait tables at night at less than $8/hr and pray for tips. A second car is likely needed. My wife and I did this. Quick kid hand off as I walked in the door and she walked out (or I could pick up kids from her work if I was late). We saw each other for under 10 minutes a day.
I do not dispute that. If you have to run random untrusted apps, grapheneOS is more suitable. But it's not a long-term solution.

> Solvable in single-digit numbers of years, even the US which is a sloth at building infra is doing fine scaling up its charging and distribution network

US is much faster than, say, Sweden. And "single digit years" brings us to 2030 at least if the pace picks up.

I live in a Stockholm suburb [1]. In the past 4-5 years the number of charging stations remained at 20, and all the new construction in the vicinity has 0 parking spots fitted with chargers as developers claim it's too costly, and existing infrastructure doesn't permit it.

[1] No, it's not a US suburb. It's a European suburb with high-rise/multi-story apartment buildings, and new construction also being mostly multi-story apartment buildings. Thinks this: https://www.google.com/maps/@59.2775628,17.8994667,3a,75y,20... and not the American cul de sacs

Even the brand new districts like https://www.google.com/maps/@59.3066523,18.031298,3a,75y,152... have essentially zero charging stations in their underground parking lots.
For big tech specifically part of the issue is that they fired a significant percentage of people managers on the ground, often orphaning entire org trees - especially in remote offices.

No longer having a good sense of what everyone is up to, they are using ye old attendance as a proxy for doing work.

I agree that static preservation on digital isn't guaranteed over the long term. There needs to be a conscious effort to ensure integrity. You make a good point about photos but was writing more about ideas and notes.

A definite challenge to preservation is navigating the balance between self maintained and trusting it to a company that will disappear one day.

I would still, argue that digital is the better medium for archival as it immediately makes it easier to share and discover.
