I suspect it'll mostly go the other way where UBI really means just shelter and food.

UBI [1] is a pre-industrial era concept. The world inflation-adjusted GDP has grown from basically 500B to 100T [2]; like it's a pretty hard sell that you can't get UBI (as envisioned pre-telephones) to work with a 200x increase.

YAGNI definitely doesn't apply in cases where you do actually know that you are gonna need it.

If the task is "build a rules engine with X, Y, and Z rules, that can add A, B, and C rules next year" then delivering hardcoded XYZ rules engine is an absolute failure to engineer and a very braindead use of "YAGNI"
I was both on OiNK and What.cd and both were awesome places to find new music and bootlegs.

I was always after show recordings with different version of songs which would never reach anybody’s ears if it wasn’t for the people sharing them.

I understand the whole copyright discussion but at least for music I understand that people there were really lovers of music, not just people wanting to pay nothing for the artists work.

I still believe there is a space for a streaming service sharing raw show recordings (which I somewhat use YT music for).
"IQ" is an average, so "the whole of humanity" should by definition be around 100 IQ at any given time, right?

If everybody was half again as smart as they are now, the gleaming perfection of the Ada language would become undeniable and everyone would adopt it immediately.

Seriously, why would "smarter people" not need tools as or more diverse than those in use now? You think that there's "one true language" of programming that is Universally Perfect and only our idiocy has prevented us from implementing it thus far?

> I mean, imagine if without drugs I can do a hard slog through the books for 6 hours before giving up;

Many people using this kind of drugs normally lasted maybe 1 hour or so before giving up (without the drugs). And it often took a long ramp-up to even get to that 1 hour of focus.

> and with drugs I can spend 12 hours anxiously bouncing between tasks and feeling very busy

I guess this is maybe the case when your body isn't yet accustomed to the drug. I don't have any such issue after I got used to the drug (in my case modafinil).
Well, imdb.com did that without open in the name. Its entire initial database was crowd sourced, end users entering in data about movies, series, tv shows, basically it was wikipedia like.

I grew up playing Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and the like. For me, the whole point of a video game is the gameplay, not some story that the creator wants to tell. I barely tolerate narrative in video games, and mercilessly skip cutscenes whenever possible. I have no interest in playing any of these so-called "walking simulators".

But maybe that's just me.

I agree! But I also understand that there is an awful lot to preserve that possibly would never be experienced again. Sure, they're preserved but if nobody ever sits down and listens to the record, does it exist? Is it worth preserving?

I believe in preservation but I also have a hard time justifying the rationale. To what end?
From that perspective, we can't say that a rock lacks an internal life. That seems silly to me. Perhaps we can't know but we can approach certainty.

Your claim relies on an assumption that your memory is correct and that your sensory input is trustworthy.

While those are highly likely, and so it's reasonable to "round up" and claim to be 100% sure, the probability of it being true is most certainly not 100%.
Indeed, but as someone who generally does something based on how they feel I respectfully follow my own path and pick and choose what feels right, I see benefits and effects that I can comprehend.

Example, I have a very destroyed shoulder from a break and dislocation. The cold helps way more with its recovery from exercises that put it through the wringer.

The perfect world is finding a way to get it better but I don’t have the answers (and nor has science/medicine) but from my own experiments my shoulder will respond dramatically better to cold than not.

I also have some Red Light therapy available. Less good.

The best is anti-inflammatories but the significant downside outweighs the ups.

So in a world of compromises I benefit the most from cold exposure.

The normal Remote Desktop Connection app (mstsc.exe) in Windows has this: go to Display settings, and select "Use all my monitors for the remote session".

I want to say the Mac client and the more modern Windows client also have it, but I can't remember.
That’s kind of a nice take actually. For people like me who did Windows systems engineering at the beginning of the millennium, Active Directory is a very household name. But there’s not much actual meaning behind it. Everything Microsoft was active in that era - Active Directory, Active Desktop, ActiveX, Active Server Pages (lives on as ASP.NET) and probably some more I forgot.

Is this the beginning of the LLM ouroboros? Does ChatGPT do anything different with training data it produced?
It's not really the same. An LLM doesn't understand its context and doesn't have a notion of true or false. If it were just repeating things from its cultural context, it shouldn't invent libraries or court cases that don't exist in its context. And unlike a human, if you ask if for details on something non-existent, it will continue elaborating on this thing that it's creating out of thin air. It's not really making assumptions so much as to it these things really exist.

And ChatGPT will directly contradict the prompt even. I asked it yesterday what the value of a non-interest-bearing bond is and it replied that it's valuable because of the interest you collect from it just because that's the usual answer.

People Are Worrying About the Wrong Downtowns
The usability article [1] from yesterday suggested a similar problem - design-oriented people want to put their graphical mark on their GUIs, and it comes at a significant usability cost. GUIs are most usable when they are consistent - everyone uses exactly the same UI elements, with the same exact color schemes and shapes and sizes, to mean the same things every time. And that’s…not what people do anymore.

A quick google on RTB:

> Bidstream data, short for bidstream location data, is any data connected to a publisher’s bid request. This includes data on the website or app, the ad format, as well as the visitor’s device type and their IP address.

>This information is passed to the advertiser in order to allow them to decide whether to bid for the ad unit via real-time bidding (RTB).

I had no idea this data was getting shared with so many people before the ads were even shown. All the more reason to ad block / dns ad block.

Bearing in mind Kernighan's Law - https://www.laws-of-software.com/laws/kernighan/ - we should then use a programming language designed for people with an IQ of about 80.
Agreed. I might've put "human interface" as opposed to HID, to cover the output too.

We didn't design modern stacks to handle lowest latencies possible. Because everything is a tradeoff.

Take a look at audio I/O on normal PC in 2000s. Although input digitizing and output de-digitizing were always fast enough, the "DSP" (moving data to userspace, processing, and out) was slow. Because in software design it was given that millisecond latencies aren't a thing, we used a lot of locks and copying around to ensure the system works correctly for average use which isn't realtime IO. However when someone desired realtime IO they enhanced the drivers and/or the audio software stack.

That approach worked because there were no issues in electronics, so to speak. With gaming you have slow USB input and slow HDMI/whatever output.

In my view that is peripheral issue and not architecture issue, although you can also say it is a platform issue. The question is not that straightforward.
They are still functional, because of the heroic defense by the Ukrainian people and quick rebuilding. Russia was explicitly targeting and quite a lot destroying the Ukraine electric infrastructure. Unfortunately it looks like they are stockpiling rockets to repeat those attacks in this winter.
A strong support by the west also helped Ukraine to fight back a lot.
>> They are still more informed though.

> No, they are misinformed and may believe entirely incorrect things as a result.

More informed does not necessarily protect one from being misinformed (your "no" implies your statement necessarily disagrees with mine - it does not).

> An example of this is Holocaust denial. A carefully selected set of facts in isolation can make someone believe the Holocaust didn't happen; this does not make "the Holocaust never happened" an informed belief.

Finding a positive example of something is easy, now try demonstrating there are literally zero counter examples, which is the claim you are making.

Also to consider:

- Is "informed" both a binary and non-decomposable?

- Might you be expressing your opinion on the matter, but representing (and perhaps perceiving) that opinion as a fact?

- "One important thing they could be more informed about for example is how slippery and illusory colloquial English language is, and the effects that has on the "reality" one experiences."

Yup.

There is a difference when an LLM is used in limited ways, by someone who knows enough to discard bad output.

Reminds me of the excellent Swedish website undertexter.se which was a community based site for Swedish subtitles. The owner of the site was convicted for copyright infringement. It is a sad world we live in.

What model did you use?
This makes no sense and is typically the opposite of what I'd build. The more business logic (various validation rules and processing) you have in the database (via stored procedures) the less problems you have, not least because all that processing becomes ACID.

The reducing load on the database claim is nonsense since the application would have to query the database anyway and less efficiently that the database could, avoiding numerous round trips between application and database.

If you implement business logic in front end applications, you're asking for trouble. Many places I've worked didn't allow software outside the database to do anything more than call a stored procedure.

Application servers did come into fashion at one point, with predictable results: subtle timing bugs, inconsistent processing with different results depending on which application server processed the data, a general difficulty in finding the source of bugs, security problems.

Everyone would be a lot less stressed if they did everything in the database.
If I read the post correctly, they are making changes to the API, not the website itself, right?

You will still be able to visit the website and download the subtitles you want. You just won't be able to make use of the API without paying for it.

The Planck length is the smallest meaningful length, as far as we know.

There's no risk here... your statement is a deliberate personal attack, there's no other way to put it. It's like stabbing someone, but stating that you're doing so at the risk of looking like your committing murder.
Industrial equipment uses this technique often for different purposes like glueing. Might seem obvious but the scraping is an artifact from the UV curing, it happens for SLA printers too. There’s a reason why the vat is a FEP film since it has lubricating properties like PTFE so each layer peels off easily. Also fun fact, that’s what carbon3D printers are so damn fast. They have a semi permeable film that lets oxygen through which creates a thin barrier of “cured yet viscous” resin between the film and part so they don’t have to wait to peel or scrape anything.

> I don't think that the postmodern relativistic physics and the ideas of moral relativism common in postmodern thinking are unrelated

(hopefully you read this) : they are unrelated, but I see where you came from. Postmodernism is really Postmarxism, but that wasn't sellable in the USA (nor in the USSR, that's why it was born in Europe). And it isn't really moral relativism either. It's peddled like that nowadays, but this recent and not at all a cornerstone from what I read. If anything, postmodernism is amoral (there is a lot from Nietzsch), or consequentialist, for a broad definition of consequentialism.

You have to think of postmodernism as a critique of Marxism. This critique led to the critique of everything, really, but fundamentally, postmodernists asked themselves 'where was Marx wrong'. Some responses (genealogy VS ideology especially) led to what might resemble to moral relativism, but if anything, for a postmodern, a very moral thing is to deepen your understanding of the world.
Yes. And outside of a very small set of exceptions [1], in those situations I'd rather have "no tomato" vs an out of season grocery store tomato. For the most part I find they add negative value to the whole.

Sure, but here you are describing your subjective[1] opinion on the matter. I do not disagree that this is your opinion, but the fact of the matter is similar but quite different thing.

And this is just one thing that makes sorting out what's going on here difficult - essentially, we have biologically LLM's [thinking they are] decoding silicon LLM's, of course the results are going to be weird and counterintuitive.

[1] Examine the specific language you are using, but also the colloquial ~interpreted/virtualized assertion that one is left with, if they are reading your comment "in good faith".
Pretty neat! We've been using Lambda for ML serving low-volume CV models (and my understanding is AWS' Sagemaker Serverless is a lambda wrapper) for a couple of years at Roboflow and it is really good for low-volume and bursty use-cases. The latency is surprisingly not bad. It gets really expensive relative to GPUs for high load (and especially predictable high-load like monitoring security cameras 24/7) though so we end up with our biggest enterprise customers running things in a Kubernetes cluster.

There are a few serverless GPU companies like Banana.dev and Modal; I really want to give them a shot. Anyone have experience using them in prod?
This study is about the amphetamine stimulants methylphenidate, dextroamphetamine, and the eugeroic (wakefulness agent) modafinil, and not about nootropics. Though the term smart drug can be inclusive of all of them...

Real smart drugs = nootropics = piracetam and piracetam-like molecules. Stimulants generally decrease performance, increase false positives, and lead to worse performance as this study showed (especially in a first time user).

Most nootropics take about 14 days to hit their stride and the effect isn't discernible immediately (though can be detected in an EEG)...

See study: "Increase in the power of human memory in normal man through the use of drugs"

"Nootropyl (Piracetam) a drug reported to facilitate learning in animals was tested for its effect on man by administering it to normal volunteers. The subjects were given 3x4 capsules at 400 mg per day, in a double blind study. Each subject learned series of words presented as stimuli upon a memory drum. No effects were observed after 7 days but after 14 days verbal learning had significantly increased."

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/826948/

Study: "Single-dose piracetam effects on global complexity measures of human spontaneous multichannel EEG"

"The results indicate that a single dose of piracetam dose-dependently affects the spontaneous EEG in normal volunteers, showing effects at the lowest treatment level. The decreased EEG complexity is interpreted as increased cooperativity of brain functional processes."

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10555876/

Study: "Single doses of piracetam affect 42-channel event-related potential microstate maps in a cognitive paradigm"

"U-shaped dose-dependent effects were found; they were strongest after 4.8 g piracetam. Since these particular ERP segments are recognized to be strongly correlated to cognitive functions, the present findings suggest that single medium doses of piracetam selectively activate differently located or oriented neurons during cognitive steps of information processing."

> If we knew that a Starship design would definitely work (i.e can it reach orbit? can it come back down? can all of the complexity be managed well enough to make it economically feasible?) then someone would have done it already.

I think that's really underselling the technical difficulty of the project (Full Flow Staged Combustion has never worked before in a meaningful sense) and the innovation (The belly flop maneuver isn't an obvious thing to do with a rocket). It feels a lot more obvious after the first Starhopper flight was such a success, but all successful things do in retrospect.

I think a large part of this lead comes from the way the engineering responsibility is distributed (at least for the R&D side), where the engineers responsible for certain parts are in the internal tracking system so that engineers responsible for other parts can just look them up and work with them directly about changes they could make to their parts to improve things for the other part.

I think most other organizations have a lot more bureaucracy involved in making changes, which makes them slower and more expensive.

Plus, SpaceX doesn't try to spread out its operations across the US to act like a jobs program, while the other big space contractors have advertised their presence in every state as a reason they should be picked, which obviously increases costs.

Nothing is ever "always wrong". It may be a sign that a little more thought can lead to a more maintainable/quick/efficient solution, but it may also be that under the circumstances an approach that would be the wrong one if applied widely actually is the correct tradeoff between those factors in this case.
You don't actually know what LLM's are "doing", comprehensively. You are describing your map/intuition of what is going on - it is a cultural convention (and a well enforced one at that), so an easy mistake to make.
