I'm not mad at all. I have no feelings on the issue whatsoever, honestly.

But you're also wrong if you think there's meaningful precedent.

And BTW the entire Bill of Rights is the same age. All are subject to interpretation by the sitting Court.

...

FWIW, I would place 2A lowest on my list of important entries in the BoR though. They're all important because if one is threatened then they are all threatened, but I think 2A is probably net-harmful in the current world. If there was an A/B test, with and without, I'd choose without.

2A has transformed from this vaguely self-protective/deterministic right into this bizarro testament to machismo and the absurd idea that carrying makes one safer from fellow humans, and the frankly asinine idea that it's insurance against government overreach. The statistics, and clear thinking, prove otherwise. Are you that guy? Don't be that guy.
I once worked with a guy who hated Python. He also hated IntelliJ and did all of his programming in Eclipse. He hated MacOS and would only run old versions of Windows of Linux.

What I found was that he was just sensitive to change. It took him awhile to get comfortable with something but as soon as he did he would from then on resist any change. Anything that was different to what he was used to he hated.

In some sense, it makes sense. People should prefer processes over tools in many cases. If you have a process that works with one tool but doesn't work with a new tool then you might be better off sticking with the original tool. Broken processes can debilitate organizations.

When people say "I hate X" often what they are really saying is "I have a process to do Y that works for me but tool X makes that process too difficult". The problem is they just say "I hate X" so you never really hear about the process Y which provides the context.
Right? I'm all for it not being anti-semetic but to run into the guard rails for benign shit is frustrating enough to want the guard rails gone.
Sorry, the title of this submission is terrible…

> Sure, it can work. It's just worse. It'll be harder to adapt to local time if you move there or go there to visit than just changing your clock to match local time. You'll need to convert constantly.

No it isn't? You don't convert anything, you just do things at the times the locals do them. It's really not hard.

> What's the upside, though?

No changing clocks, no scheduling a meeting at the wrong time because you mixed up the timezones, no calling your parents and accidentally waking them up because it's the middle of the night for them.

> Timezones are the way we found to standardise once global commerce became a thing.

In the distant past each village had its own time; once the railways emerged and it was practical to go from place to place in the same day, we standardised time across decent-sized regions. Now that we can talk to people instantly around the world, it's time to contine that process and standardise time everywhere.

From the second article, a minor point but possibly helpful to other here, he contrasts doing everything in the terminal with stacked commits vs going to the Github UI. If people aren't aware, Github offers a cli tool[1]. I've been using it for a few months now and am finding it does make me more productive -- it's nice to be able to open up a PR directly from my terminal. I do still use the GH UI for a lot of things, but I'll often at least start in the terminal, and it also makes the transition from terminal to browser easy as many commands support the `--web` flag open up the right page for you (eg `gh repo view --web`).

Tried slow running, tried sprint+walk cycles, tried various combinations. Tried both treadmills and running outside. The sensation of being out of breath is just very unpleasant to me, and you always end up out of breath if doing any kind of running for more than a few minutes.

Sprinting was the least unpleasant actually, but only for a short while for the first time and only once/day.

Thankfully strength training is much more enjoyable, as is walking, so I'm relying on this combination. Plus some swimming occasionally.
I've never used an ad blocker. I accept that today's web largely depends on advertising, so it feels like the right thing to do. I also think that using an ad blocker is like wanting to attend a concert, deciding the price is too high, and sneaking in anyway. It feels like stealing.

That said, I don't like ads any more than anyone else does. I rarely click on them, and I avoid sites that overdo them.

It makes me sad that the web is in a death spiral. The more people use ad blockers, the more intrusive ads need to be for the remainder of us who don't, which further encourages the self-interested to use ad blockers. The only ways I see to end the death spiral are to successfully reset the ad-vs-ad-blocker dynamic (which I suppose Google is trying to do with this move), or for another revenue model to take hold. I don't think either will happen. It's too bad, because I grew up with the web, and I don't want it to die.
I prefer the Pi app's voice chat ... it has a lot more personality and will play along with questions like whose your spirit animal: Mother Teresa or Obama. It will provide an answer there yet when you ask it the same question using Trump and Hitler it refuses to answer lol

Overall Chat GPT's voice chat needs some zing to it when compared to Pi. Yet either both are awesome pieces of technology, just prefer one over the other. Pi is free too ... Im paying $20 a month for Chat GPT.

Mercurial adopted Python 3 a while ago. Not to mention, huge chunks of it have been rewritten in Rust.

Mercurial has continued to get new features like Changeset Evolution [1] that once you use it, you wonder why all version control systems don’t have it.

March 13, 2023, a vacationing couple go to have an early dinner at a mostly empty restaurant on a tiny island. The restaurant is owned by the government or people in the government and the only other table there is a meeting between the governor and Chinese officials a few days after this same state published a 12-page screed about how Kosrae should denounce China and back Taiwan.

The discussion was about China wanting help from them in their upcoming war with Taiwan. The video also gives background, such as China is providing a lot of aid and the roads being built look suspiciously like potential landing strips.

Kosrae is the only remaining state in Micronesia not de facto currently pwned by China. If China took control if it, all of Micronesia could effectively be closed to US ships to cut Taiwan off from American military aid, among other things.

Although Oceania, of which Micronesia is only one part, is full of tiny islands, they claim large spans of water around them as part of their "nation." I have seen them described as tiny islands but large ocean states or something like that.

When he walked in, the two groups were discussing the aforementioned 12-page letter. As soon as he came in, they promptly changed the subject. Every time the Chinese mentioned "China", they lowered their voiced.

The local governor, thrilled to be courted by the Chinese and not savvy about international politics, loudly replied to all their questions, oblivious to his presence, and made three attempts to get the discussion back on track and about the letter while the Chinese avoided the topic.

It being a tiny island in a big ocean, the Chinese diplomats were stranded there an additional two days. He knew the local guy at the table was the governor because the plates of his vehicle said "governor." For the next two days, the governor entertained his stranded guests by giving them a tour of the island, which allowed the vacationers to run into them repeatedly.

The local governor continued to act like a politically unsavvy local who felt his ego all puffed up by the presence of his important guests and repeatedly and loudly announced who they were every chance he got.

The video ends with suggesting there is currently a cold war ongoing in the Pacific. China is trying to establish control of waters "from Hong Kong to Honolulu" and this would create a shipping and naval bottleneck forcing American ships through waters within range of Chinese big guns. He is concerned a shooting war is coming and this could be a problem for the world, though it's currently drama quietly playing out in "backroom" deals over pizza across probably every island in the region.

This is not out of line with headlines I saw a few days ago concerning Chinese air exercises.
There was a fascinating article on quantum dots in a previous issue of Science. First time I've ever heard of them.

Because publicly spilling the beans on the reason would poison the negotiations and (and because it would) undermine Sam if he returned.

Anything that even remotely justifiably undermined the board’s confidence, even if in the totality of the circumstances there is regret of the termination decision, would have this concern.

> my goodness did they beat around the bush w/regard to their actual contribution to this process (per the title).

Fair point. I came up with the title first. Then as the content grew large and diluted the essence of the title, I reconsidered, but ended up sticking to it as a shameless clickbait.

> Originally, separate clones was the recommended way to do "topic branches" in Mercurial (not to be confused with "named branches").

That still leaves the question "why topic branches rather than named branches?". For the needs of the rapid release process, named branches could have been used, but weren't. I haven't tried to contact the people involved at the time to have a definite answer. It's not /that/ important, and I'm not /that/ curious.

Hey! Thanks for upvoting.

Happy to answer any questions about deduplication. One thing that's not included in the write-up is that we also address out-of-order indexing alongside deduplication.

Exactly. The usefulness of criteria for predicting anything depends on both false positive and false negative rates, and this article doesn't seem to care about false positives (what fraction of companies do trendy, visible ESG stuff but are also honest behind the scenes?) at all.

Might as well add an 8th point, "Companies that sell a good or service", and really bring that false negative rate all the way down to zero.
The word is "lose." You're still not making sense, as the point is they have their lives to lose, possibly.
You win the thread.

Finally working as intended. Perhaps now people will use their brains more, instead of relying on stupid chatbots.

It's not quite that simple. Literally all their schoolmates are watching shows, playing video games etc. So they become ostracized as a result of not having the same context as the other kids.

We're trying like hell to slow the onslaught with my son, but the kids make fun of him because "you don't even play Roblox" or whatever.

The public schools are all in on screens, at least where we are. They literally issued my kindergartener a Chromebook and expect us to do 30 minutes a night on the apps they recommend. It's really disheartening.

“ We have a forest in our backyard with a 2 story fully enclosed treehouse (including electricity), sports fields within a 5 minute walk, tons of hiking trails, etc. But it is a real struggle to get them to leave the house because”

But..do you have their friends in that space? I’m not naive I realize a lot of kids actually just want to TikTok, but “go hiking” isn’t a valid alternative. Kids want friends and unstructured time with them not beholden to their parents ability to drive them somewhere.
I don’t use it for productivity, I’m not a software engineer.
Correct. There is a strong dividing line between those two organizations, resulting from some very bad misbehavior by the FBI and CIA in the 1950s and 60s. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was set up to allow some agencies to collect information on non-Americans using techniques they'd never allow on citizens, while other agencies can use a more restricted set of techniques on Americans.

After 9/11 they breached that somewhat, because of a (not entirely well-founded) belief that the separation kept them from preventing the attack.

Those are the two ends of the spectrum being debated here: harassing Martin Luther King on the one side, and 9/11 on the other. No compromise is going to make everybody happy. In fact, no matter what, it's going to make everybody mad.
Does anyone know why Brazil is not supported yet?
That it why i use native functions.
No typescript syntax, no jest.
For testing i use just the native test runner, and that works great with ESM.
Jest has indeed still not good ESM support, you can do some Babel trics, but makes the process too complex.
Best is to find an alternative, like the native test runner.
Also typescript try some things that are not stable at ecma.
It was too soon with the import/export, and dont use the native way.
Also commonjs is still the default at typescript after compiling, but Node is moving to ESM as a default.
I hope typescript will use more native functions that are already available and dont use their own way.

For me typescript syntax and jest is a no go.

Typescript is useful to check types, but i write just JavaScript with JSDoc, and check it with eslint in typescript modus.

The ability to say "Hey what's happened in the OpenAI saga in the last 8 hours" or "How did <my sports team> do last night" and get a voice response while I'm walking my dog is the sort of thing I care about.
Off topic, but I watched The Creator last night and it was super dumb and really did not even attempt imagine what a war against AI might look like. There was really no explanation for why the AI were walking around dressed as people or why they would want to limit themselves to such a degree.

The answer is not less regulation, it's to have publicly owned healthcare. Those regulations were written in blood.

Also go listen to one of the latest episodes of Odd Lots where they interview Lena Khan about anti-trust. Private equity has been rolling up medical companies for decades, essentially doing things like buying up all the anesthesiology clinics in an area so they can jack up prices. Some of the bloat is due to regulations but a lot of the bloat is due to over-financialized bullshit like private equity buying up providers.

Can somebody who knows their stuff about voice synthesis explain to me why chatGPT sounds like it's speaking German with an American accent when I speak to it in German? It's really surprising how believably it sounds like a native American-speaker speaking excellent, just not accent-free, German.

I would imagine that voice synthesis models would somehow be trained on data from native speakers, so why the accent?
Ilya wanted to slow down due to safety concerns, the board said getting rid of Sam is the way to do it, Ilya backed that method and it 1) hurt OAI more than expected and 2) doesn’t appear likely to slow down AGI development anyway, so now Ilya regrets it. Neither the board nor Ilya want to come out and say: “Sam downplayed the proximity or danger of the next breakthrough.” That would be begging the government to step in, for example.

Yes the board said it’s not because their safety policies failed, but also firing the CEO is one of those safety policies.

AFAICT Ilya and Sam seemed to have axiomatically different views on whether AGI/ASI is even possible via this route, which would not leave a ton of room for compromise as one (Ilya) felt the event horizon approaching, which based on recent reporting he seems to.

Anyway, just my theorizing with no more information than anyone else here.
> "Settled" means that it's never, ever going to change, because the composition of the court isn't going to change. At least not during my lifetime, and probably not yours.

I am confident that the composition of the court will change, during my lifetime. I suspect yours as well.

FWIW, I do have a strong opinion on school shootings, of course. I am not comfortable with the assertion that there's something uniquely broken about Americans that means we can't have RTKBA. But if there is, I'm not confident that eliminating 2A would resolve the real problem.
I know it would probably be a little more work but I would appreciate a `stable` and a `preview` site/endpoint. There are times when things go down that I need it and it would be nice to have a stable endpoint to hit. Yes, it's great that they're moving quickly but I pay $20 a month... I think they can do a little more to guarantee uptime.
