I'm not bearish on OpenAI or AGI in general but I'm extremely meh about it. I'm not chomping at the bit to use it like so many are, and I constantly feel like a huge luddite or something for not being super excited about it.

The value and time it saves makes sense for folks who struggle with a search engine (many) or doing tasks that are typically considered menial, like writing emails or coding boilerplate.

However, if you can grok Google and don't mind doing tasks like that (I personally don't mind coding boilerplate stuff, especially since I can learn how the framework works that way), ChatGPT's value is limited (at least in my experience).

Example: I was struggling with a Terraform issue the other day. I used ChatGPT 4 to help me work out the problem, but the answer it gave was really generic, like mashing a few of the top answers on SO together. It also didn't answer what I needed help with. I knew enough about how Terraform worked to Google for the answer, which I eventually did a few minutes later. I could have kept crystalling my question for ChatGPT until I got what I wanted, but Google was easier.

I'm also not a huge fan of us just being okay with trusting a single and extremely corporate entity (OpenAI) being the de facto arbiter of the truth. At least Google shows you other options when you search for stuff.

Sounds like your beef should be with Distrokid not Spotify.
That's why canceling the RSVPs is important. You just screwed over the scammer and their current "orders".

Even if the scammer rotates a new virtual number each time, the high number of cancelations on them is enough to trigger inspection and a personal ban (since they still need their name/address on all the virtual numbers).
From what I remember, no, just that it was executed, and within 45 days of the transaction being completed, or 30 days if notified, and only for trades > $1,000.

So you only know that within the last 1.5 months a trade was executed for any particular representative
You could let us know what you think is the correct answer? That's always an option, right...?
Sometimes I've felt a bit foolish, keeping my mp3's on a hard drive, as well as backed up onto another drive.

But then, I hear about things like Bandcamp being sold, artists being pulled from streaming sites, etc., and it feels nice to know that in principle, all the songs I've purchased over the decades remain within my power to listen to.

Some of the songs I have, and still regularly listen to, I'm honestly not sure if I could find anywhere online anymore.

My hometown of Grindavík just got evacuated. I was there throughout the day through the earthquakes. I was under the impression that we were safe, but about 2 hours ago we got the evacuation order, and we subsequently fled to a safe harbor.

We are now safe with family in the city. It’s been a long day for sure.

As mentioned next door, xterm has support for alternate screen mode which can save and restore the current contents. But tmux works fine with more than 2 buffers and tmux works fine if the terminal underneath it doesn't support alternate screen mode (like a physical vt100)

There are two services 'smartphones' are delivering on.
Firstly, the ability to make calls remotely, and secondly to run application that can access the internet.

The ability to make a phone call remotely is amazing, but the use of that phone is no different to a wired one. If you don't want to answer the call, then don't.

The second issue is that people get sucked into dopamine pumping applications on their internet connect smartphone, that is a completely different issue.
I returned my unopened Apple Watch to Amazon.

Getting my money back has been a massive pain. Usually Amazon literally returns the money when the delivery person picks up the item from my doorstep.

But with this Amazon required a scheduled pickup with UPS, did not acknowledge receiving the item even though UPS showed it as received and a few weeks later they are still asking me to wait for 1 month before contacting them for any information.

Well, I filed a chargeback with my credit card and automagically the errors in their system got resolved, and the item shows as received (on the correct date 2+ weeks ago), and they are promising a refund in a week (as opposed to 2.5 more weeks).

Looks like they’re not just giving Apple preferential treatment but going out of their way to protect Apple.
Or rather, another way to look at this is, if one is worried of demons lurking in the shadows of non-Apple-apps then stick to the one which are iBlessed™. Right?

The Evolution of Stretch – Boston Dynamics [video]
Yes they do. The words "engage in exchange" and "gather" are active verbs that obviously imply consciousness and consent.

I'll give you another example. The definition of "purchase" is "to obtain by paying money or its equivalent". If I steal money from you while you're asleep and leave a baseball card, is it fair to say you purchased the card? Why not? The definition doesn't say anything about consciousness or decision-making.

Generally dictionary definitions of human activities do not explicitly specify consciousness when it is obviously necessary.

I would like to test whether prediction markets are worse than they were during zero-interest land. The incentive to create sophisticated models to get low percentage points of edge is much lower today than it was before. Why risk time and effort trying to predict the 2024 election for a few pp of edge when you can… just buy a 1y tbill instead? Sure there are probably better ways to express an opinion on these types of things too. Options that favour a team red or team blue win come to mind, but no matter what you’re still competing with 5% yield.

I think this is solvable by having some kind of betting token that itself accrues interest over time to reduce the opportunity cost but if regulators already don’t like prediction markets boy they especially wouldn’t like that.
> I think most people I know offline hate interacting with chat bots as products.

At my company a chatbot is one of the main products, but I think the key is that it is used in bulk/triage situations where there's 0% chance a company would ever hire humans to do it instead.

So the real question is whether to to use a complex tax-filing-like form, or a chatbot, and whether either of those routes are done well.

> Even if I turn off v4.0, I'm still reachable at the same address on v4.1. This is not the case with v6. That's the problem.

That's not the problem.

Being reachable "at the same address on v4.1" (or v6) does not mean that v4 hosts can reach you. In order for v4 hosts to reach you, you have to be doing v4, because v4 hosts will be sending you v4 packets. If you've turned off v4 then that won't work. It'll work if you leave v4 on... but then you're just doing dual stack, and v6 can do that too.

The problem here is that you haven't realized that what you're describing is no different to v6's approach, just phrased differently.

Honestly if anything it's suspiciously infrequent.

As in the best takeaway is that he's deliberately avoiding matching their trades, even when it's a good idea.
They've confirmed it essentially by listing about the hundred or so parties that used to validate the information-- including their own staff, politicians, etc. It's certainly not just material on the "wealthiest" Americans, though that's one of the ways they've limited their reporting in order to argue a public interest angle.

I think the ethics of their coverage is complicated at best, but it's also orthogonal to the fact that the leaker committed a serious felony and that the government has failed to protect information which it is obligated to protect. This is a serious breach of our trust and security and deserves inquiry regardless of where you stand on ProPublica's subsequent usage. (particularly given the earlier rumors that the leaks were by someone in the Biden administration as an effort to promote the administrations proposed tax reforms, which it seemed suspiciously well timed to do)

But as far as their usage goes-- many of the articles seem like this one: grinding thorough huge amounts of data to pick out a slightly suspicious piece of straw in a huge haystack and highly speculative-- by no means a smoking gun due to the limitation of the tax records and the general absence of other forms of investigation. Is this specific article a matter of general public interest enough to justify the felony invasion of tax records? I don't agree that it is. Even if their speculative allegations were true here, it sounds de minimis and not of particular public concern.

> They also note that tax records are public in certain jurisdictions, including in Sweden, Norway,

Yes, and not in the US. Where they are public there are differences in what gets reported and other rules governing the use of the information that mitigate harm, simply knowing that it will be public offsets part of it.
Idk man they're just tools, as long as they get stuff done, I don't care in what medium they do it in. Nothing "dystopian" about it.
I've used Pandora for years but I'm switching to Spotify. Pandora's catalogue is tiny in comparison. And I don't care if they sponsor "questionable" podcasters (A.K.A Joe Rogan). In fact, that honestly makes me want to invest more in Spotify. I can listen to the latest obscure NYCHC and know that my music provider isn't being censored by CISA.
The market was roughly flat between when the strategy went live (in may of 2022) and when the post was made.

Only cellphones? What about the internet? It has made the world a worse place by shortening distances, not requiring you to get out of bed in order to buy something, or even to go to work. I only get out of the house once a week now. And don't get me started about social media.

In fact, you could argue that the whole industrial society has made the world a lot worse. And that's what the Unabomber manifesto [1] argued.

It really is awful. It also has arbitrary travel restrictions so that you can’t go home in case of sickness, death, weddings in the family for instance.

And to add to that, you don’t know how long it’s going to take. It’s all rate limited in a very opaque fashion, instead of just having a simple to understand but high bar.

In either case, the US as a whole benefits so overwhelmingly from these types of immigrants. It’s really the best and brightest. They just come pre-trained and start paying high taxes immediately.
What about “your assignment is” or “you are responsible for” or similar? Surprised not to see them there.

Their FAQ says that they aren't a prediction market, and they operate differently. People aren't placing bets, so it isn't weighted in favor of the wealthy. They weight people based on past prediction success.

Listen deeper, listen more and you will help artists more than cancelling your subscription. I don't know what artists at the new cutoff were making but its not a living wage, and I doubt it's even beer money. The unknown artists will never get paid if you don't listen and find them. That's what Spotify is great at. Once you find the small artist, seek them out, buy some merch, see a show. Drive an hour further than you normally would. That's what supporting an artist looks like, not cancelling your Spotify subscription.
That is categorically not how salaries work. SWE compensation is high because impact per worker is high, and because adding people doesn’t scale linearly, not because they’re somehow much more in demand.

> Music has never been in a better place.

I have to agree. I’m 66 years old. When I was in my late teens, I was intensely into music and doing my best to explore and learn about a variety of genres.

It was hard. I couldn’t afford to buy many albums, the music played on the radio was limited, and the only way to hear obscure music that I had read about was to go to a large public or university library and hope that they might have the records in their collection.

Now I can listen to nearly any music I want to with just a few clicks. There are also many great streaming channels for discovering music I didn’t know about—I particularly like BBC Sounds, especially Radio 3. My 19-year-old self never could have dreamt of such riches.
The individual builds will be pretty cheap: sub $75 with an Arduino, NEMA stepper motor, PCB, a few other parts, and some plastic enclosures.

There's definitely some bootstrapping costs to acquiring tools (3d printer, soldering set up, adjustable power supply, Fusion 360 license). That's around $1k-1500 for a nice hobbyist setup by the time you get everything.

The real cost is when you decide to quit your software job to work on a hardware project :)
I recently said goodbye to Spotify as well. I tried Apple Music and found it sounded significantly better. The muddy quality I am used to with Spotify was gone and I’ve been enjoying music ever since. I really thought there was something wrong with me prior to this. I don’t know if it is the different codecs they use or what. I haven’t even tried the lossless audio yet on Apple Music. So it is just comparing the lossy to lossy.

I’m also glad to be on an app that doesn’t try to constantly push podcasts on me.
