This doesn't feel temporary if I routinely have to study the Firefox settings to find out what new ways they have found to violate my trust.

And actually, I don't really like the idea of ad blockers, they do seem rather bad faith to me. I don't like ads, but Google is ad supported, I do a search, I go to Google, I accept the ads, they're part of the deal.

Firefox though, they get plenty of money from Google when I search via the Firefox search box. If they were having cashflow problems I would understand, but they're going to look for alternative revenue streams from AccuWeather? As if being in bed with Google weren't bad enough they're like "how can we work with more companies that solely exist to gatekeep access to public data." But being in bed with Google at least makes sense, I don't see a better way to provide the service. And similarly for Google, I don't see how they could run YouTube without ads, I get their motivation here.

> I'm not convinced this is possible without retaliation.

This is true! Unfortunately nobody who investigates this stuff has any sense of discretion, so the subject gets tipped off during the questioning itself.

This isn't even limited to HR/corporate anything, I've had this happen with fucking CPS of all things. They didn't even try to be indirect and outright questioned the alleged perpetrator using the exact verbiage from my supposedly-anonymous report-- events of which only I was a witness to. My working relationship with the subject was great from there.

Right now I'm mulling over what to do with a report from HR personnel about one of their own, involving a [female] employee reporting their known-autistic, high-achieving [female] boss for actual espionage. Our workplace harassment policy says to report everything, even if it's hearsay. As with social media abuse claims, there is no consequence for false reporting or claims made in bad faith, so now I'm spinning wheels on this. I can't tell if it's a disgruntled employee, or the named exec trying to stage a persecution complex.

Whether or not she actually did it, based on the specificity of the claims, if I question the subject, she'll know who reported her. If she did do what's alleged, I can't prove it and she certainly wouldn't admit it, so the only possible outcome my intervention facilitates is opening the door for retaliation either way. I don't want to be the arbiter of HR's internal workplace politics, but who am I going to report false/bad-faith claims to? HR? (Legal won't hear anything without evidence.)

These decisions aren't easy. The workplace "rules" are so incoherent they're easily exploited. I'm taking the workplace harassment training right now; reportable offenses apparently include gossip about someone's hairstyle. Apparently nobody has ever played the game of crybullying before...

If it's not worth risking your entire career for, it's not worth reporting. Unethical business practices? Grow up. Fraud? There's probably a hotline for that. Sexual assault? Call the police. If you don't want retaliation from the company, don't fucking involve the company.

>> Starting in early 2024, tracks must have reached at least 1,000 streams in the previous 12 months in order to generate recorded royalties.

Screwing over the little guy once again so that they can pay the big guys even more.

>> It’s more impactful for these tens of millions of dollars per year to increase payments to those most dependent on streaming revenue — rather than being spread out in tiny payments that typically don’t even reach an artist (as they do not surpass distributors’ minimum payout thresholds).

It's nice of Spotify to decide arbitrarily who deserves to be paid. They're also neglecting the fact that if a distributor has a minimum payout threshold it's not based on the last 12 months earnings.

It's not going to have a material impact on many people but leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.
If reinforcement learning were farther along, you could have it learn to reproduce scenes as 3D models. Each episode's task is to mimic an image, each step is a command mutating the scene (adding a polygon, or rotating the camera, etc.), and the reward signal is image similarity. You can even start by training it with synthetic data: generate small random scenes and make them increasingly sophisticated, then later switch over to trying to mimic images.

You wouldn't need any models to learn from. But my intuition is that RL is still quite weak, and that the model would flounder after learning to mimic background color and placing a few spheres.
Friendly reminder that Mozilla receives the majority of their funding in exchange for defaulting their search engine to Google’s.

I love this quote from a post on the topic at The Verge:

Read it through a few times, it’s fine. It doesn’t make any sense to anyone else either.

Who knows if Apple is earning a profit on its Music + Classical Music apps or whatever else it bundles into its products. Maybe they consider it to be a small enough loss to offset the chance that a customer buys an Apple One bundle, which then makes up for the loss because the margins on cloud storage are much higher.

Wouldn't be the first time Google flailing with a user-hostile decision back and forth, only to gather bad publicity and further animosity towards their brand at the end with nothing of value gained for themselves. Google shutting down legacy accounts comes first to my mind.

My guess is that fully modeling MtG's rules in Datalog would take a lot more work, because MtG's rules are a lot more complex. Looking through the source for one of the freely-available game engines like https://github.com/magefree/mage would probably be more informative, though.

EDIT: I found an old project working on implementing the MtG rules in Prolog: https://github.com/stassa/Gleemin. It's definitely more concise than XMage's Java, but you can still get an idea of how much work it would take, especially since that project notes some pretty significant limitations that it didn't get to.

My parents are horrified when I suggest that their grandchildren should have the same freedom to roam around that they gave us.

They believe the world is more dangerous than ever even though murders, violent crime, child abductions, and car accidents peaked when we were kids. And we didn't have cellphones to check in or call 911 with.

It's baffling.
Wrong. Wise does this better than crypto.
This analysis is crap.

My family origin is Pahari farmers. In winters, my ancestral town's temperatures fall below freezing, yet Chili Powder from our region is a staple in most North Indian cooking (Kashmiri Mirch grown in JK and Himachal).

That Punjab and Mughlai trendline can be attributed to that reason - Kashmiri Mirch is a staple in both styles of cooking now, but if you look at "pind style" cooking, it's way less spicy. A traditional Kadhi, Saag, or Choley isn't going to be spicy but might have 1 Kashmiri Mirch added as a garnish.

Peppers only came to our portion of the Himalayas in the 18th and 19th century (hence why Bell Peppers are called "Shimla Mirch" - it was brought by the Brits), but became a popular commodity to sell due to high margins and easy to grow in small plots, which is important in JK and Himachal as land reform laws capped agricultural plots to 3 acres at most.

Also treating "South Indian" as a single cuisine group is a travesty.

Not "endlessly." 30 years ago, in the suburbia being decried, I had a bike and friends my age in the neighborhood. You called to see if they wanted to go do something, or went down the street and knocked on the door. And this was in a time (1990s) when the country's violent crime rate was about double what it is today, but there was no social media and 24-hour news doomscrolling making parents paranoid.

In Sydney, it's generally the case for established neighbourhoods close to the CBD. Walkability in inner city suburbs like Balmain, Leichhardt, Rozelle, any of the eastern suburbs really is super high.

Or just… not hire all of them. Much easier.

And in the scenario where Microsoft, Salesforce, NVIDIA, and Meta actually think the OpenAI staff are mad (rather than the more plausible scenario where they think the OpenAI board is mad and are looking for a big pile of skilled proven talent that already know each other and can work well together on big projects), the only sane response would have been "not only don't hire them, don't offer them jobs, what are you even thinking this is the real world we don't do things like the script of a Marvel film".

I have sympathy for vulnerable people who might find themselves in a police precinct to either report a crime or seek other assistance.

But preventing a person like Reyes from recording does nothing to resolve the privacy issue. Anyone who is willing to go through the trouble can request security camera footage.

I think we also need to recognize that in a public place like a police precinct lobby, there are going to be some people who desire not to be recorded as a way of protecting their privacy, but other people who desire to record as a way of protecting themselves from police misconduct. Both have legitimate but competing interests. But the law explicitly protects the latter.
Everything I've read about this situation indicates that the board acted appropriately within their authority as the the leaders of OpenAI, the non-profit. Sam Altman and co. have veered off into wild delusions of grandeur over the last year with their talk of how they're "building God" (out of scraped reddit comments and blog posts) and comparing ChatGPT to the invention of fire. The board has shown that there are still adults in the room in AI development who aren't high off their own fumes, and also aren't interested in becoming lapdogs for M$FT. Thank God.

I do that: well, not pihole but I run unbound on a Pi and I've got my Firefox set to never use the "trusted resolver" (i.e. network trr set to 5... I think the default is still 0/off but you never know).

That way I'm preventing DNS over HTTPS and known ads (and known telemetry) domains cannot resolve sneakily through HTTPS.

I can still, if I want to, have unbound use DoH so that my ISP doesn't spy on me.

But on my LAN there's no DNS over HTTPS.

And unbound accepts wildcards to prevent domains from resolving, which is really sweet.

I wrote my own tiny script (in Clojure / Babashka) which combines several huge DNS blocklists, allows certain domains I'm okay with, merge what can be merged into a single line using wildcards, etc.

Do I get to count as evidence? The stress they're talking about is clearly defined. It's ACE levels.

Before the age of 5 I was hospitalized for falling out of a moving truck and had an ace score of 9, after adoption at 5 I had an ace score of 6-7. I was regularly beaten over the head, yelled at, had food withheld--the whole 9 yards. Almost always related to academic performance because I already had ADHD and PTSD from before adoption.

I now am starting to realize that beyond being easily triggered due to PTSD, I can ONLY function cognitively if I am under stress. It's taken me a long time to figure out if what I'm dealing with is ADHD, PTSD, dissociation, or what--it's hard to pin down. I finally realized that I perform, socialize, play, create and cooperate better if I am angry, scared, worried I'll get fired, or various other social pressures that make people panic. I am useless otherwise. I have come to the conclusion that I am adrenaline deficient because my brain developed in a wash of adrenaline and learned to stay there.

In social situations I come across as aloof or disinterested, absent, withdrawn, and when I'm excited about something or seeking socialization I come across as confrontational, argumentative, or upset when I'm happy and joking. I mostly don't see a point in socializing when I am not perceived according to my internal experience.

The only time I've ever been normal and functional is the 6 months after my mom died, a time when most people are incapacitated due to the stress of grief.

I gotta say as an N=1, having early childhood stressors and head trauma have not exactly made me more pro-social, creative, cooperative, etc. To get that Optimal level of stress requires that I destroy my body with cortisol.
