So, for most of the history of advertising, you didn't have a choice. Advertising was a part of someone else's property that would ambush[0] you before you could even ignore it. Internet advertising is an outlier in that it happens on your property. You ask for a web page, the web site sends back the page with a bunch of JavaScript that tries to run an ad auction on your computer, then your browser extensions delete the JavaScript, then another bit of JavaScript sent by the web site detects this and deletes the content, except no because your extension also defeated the antitamper script, except no because the web site legally threatened your ad blocker with billions of dollars in litigation for breaking the "don't rip DVDs" law.

I'm not kidding about that, BTW[1][2][3]. There is a silent and ongoing effort by everyone - including ad companies - to appropriate your physical property with their intellectual property[4]. You see, on the totem pole of capitalist legitimacy, physical ownership is actually really weak. There's all sorts of government-granted monopolies that can be traded like property[5], but let you bulldoze lesser ownership over physical objects. You might own your computer, but I own the content, so I own your computer for as long as my content is somewhere on it.

Talking about fundamental rights is interesting. Right now, at least in the US, people have a fundamental right to advertise - it's called the 1st Amendment. We can't even have functional campaign contribution laws because SCOTUS demands that billionaires have a god-given right to spend their billions shouting over everyone else in campaign ads. Several other fundamental rights mean you have the right to ignore shouty ads, but you don't have the right to shut the advertisers up. Likewise, the right to refuse ad exposure online is implied by the fact that the website runs on your computer. But other rights - such as the right to control copies of your speech - can negate that same implication.

Anyway, this is why I think we should bring back the Boston Strangler[6]. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

So now, you're proposing the PBS model of broadcasting vs advertising supported broadcasting.

It's amusing to me how we keep reinventing existing models but consider them a totally new thing because "on a computer" kind of thing.
I don't think its red state vs blue state. I think its urban areas/cities vs suburbs/rural areas. And you can't really split this up by state.

And this is more fundamental than income and skin color/identity politics since these are geniunely different lifestyles that can't be served by 1 political party. There seems to be some realignment happening. (modern day version of the book - the town mouse and the country mouse).

And by "serve" i mean each member with D/R next to their name will bend to the party as the avg. Look at Angus King from Maine. ik there was a mass shooting etc but in pro gun maine, independent senator king (but caucus with D) just proposed an "assault weapon ban" that CA/WA/NY/MA etc has. This is one example but it happens for other things to.

What does the future look like? Somewhere between perputual rule by a few cities with Singapore/Dubai/Hong Kong level power to a "national divorce"/balkanization/threats of succession or ignoring the federal government. I'm not too optimistic so im leaning towards the latter. The soviet union fell just 2 decades ago. This isn't too out of left field.
Is the context only 1024 tokens? it seem it will cut off more and more (which is weird) after I have longer conversation.
> I mean you listed plenty of reasons the relationship is bad.

Perhaps we misunderstand each other. This is what you said:

> Apple wants to save face because "the leads we brought GS have double the default rate of other cards" is a bad look for future partners.

I believe that I demonstrated that this conspiracy theory – which is entirely unsubstantiated, and which seems to have been largely refuted given that the charge off data is public – cannot possibly be the reason.

Do you still believe that Apple is somehow trying to conceal charge off rates, having read my post?

> it's not a huge logical jump to think that GS would want to end such a relationship.

This is a very reasonable point, but it is not the one you made. It's totally fine to not be au fait with the minutiae of consumer credit reporting at Goldman Sachs, but it would help me to calibrate what your contention is if you could address specific points instead of abstracting to generalisations when it appears to me that you are entirely misinformed.

I think we disagree about the importance of these things, but that's okay. However...

There is plenty of academic literature which explores the concept of social media as infrastructure. I didn't come up with the idea, I only pointed to it.

I won't point to any specific document, but there is plenty of related material here: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=soci...

Or, take a look at the wiki page for "infrastructure" to get a rough sense of how broad the concept really is.
IIRC there's been some articles written on how Japan has strategically betting big on importing hydrogen from Australia: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/japanese-govt-awards...
I suspect this is a trap for a conservative administration, who will likely try to roll back such orders.
I first heard of “the weight loss shot” from a morbidly obese waste management company owner friend of mine. He has steadily lost weight and kept it off with what is basically a chemically induced fast. So it clearly works.

Anything that measurably reverses the insane growth rate of obesity is very welcome.

If all it takes is a weekly shot to reliably improve individual decision making with consumption then that would legitimately be revolutionary.

No free lunch still applies though, I’ll be interested to see what the long term externalities are.
No worries, just my 2c!

Given the current state of AI performance, I’d imagine that those without 100s of GPUs but looking to maximise the performance of what they do have, would be a great demographic for the Paid plan.
> if they are represented as cardinal somewhere I wouldn't agree with that.

I'd disagree. While in a well defined ordinal metric you can always map to a cardinal system by means of grouping (losing precision), but that well defined condition is a bit of a killer. Certainly in language it is not true and I'm suspicious that one could find well defined metrics with global optima that account for all reasonable variables. This is why cardinal systems are highly effective for voting systems (social choice) as it is accepting that the conditions that one is ranking preference on is not universally agreed upon and thus is baking in a noise term to the model. Not to mention is far more computationally efficient (fuck man, we gotta rebuild the entire self-made graph every time someone enters or leaves the list and an entire recompute when metrics/variables change (and they will)).

> I assume that "I think it would be __difficult__ to claim that Soros is highly self-made" has a missing not somewhere?

Ops, yeah, that is correct. Soros is one of the clearer examples of someone being self made. But we can see the other examples are far less clear and understand how someone my place significantly different weightings on the various variables at play. But I think with the exception for holocaust deniers, people are going to generally agree that "Jew during Nazi occupation" trumps almost anything else.

I can't even figure out how one would install Noiselith. It has some text that says "Download for free on your PC", but it's not a button or a link. Maybe they're doing some weirdly locked-down user-agent sniffing and refuse to allow me to even attempt to download any version on Linux?

InvokeAI is installed via a script, sure, but it's also just a few clicks: download, extract, double-click on a specific file, enjoy.
nothing shady. you add the actual card number in chrome. chrome saves it. chrome knows this card supports virtual card numbers. at the time of any payment, chrome gives option to autofill card details with actual card or virtual card. if virtual selected, chrome gives/send/syncs that virtual card with issuer/original card.

capital one supports it. Amex too.

The huge advantage of podcasts over most other forms of media is that they don't have to cut things down into tiny bite sized pieces. Many podcasts will get down into the nitty gritty details of things that the news never will. I think it's much closer to long form journalism than television news. Although, obviously, podcasts can take any form and some are geared toward that latter rather than former. But the ones I am most drawn to are those where actual experts pour over the data in great detail.

This Week in Virology was my go to during the pandemic, hosted by a virologist, and immunologist, and an infectious disease doctor.

You'll notice that many if not most of the loudest "expert" voices during the pandemic were speaking outside their area of expertise. With the exception of Fauci, of course.
They all use a beefy LLM though.

Hi! I'm a motivated software engineer with 2 years of experience. I've been a contractor at a major pharma company, building up tooling around our internal scientific database and doing some data analysis on the science side while I was there. Later, I was with a smaller fintech company and built out the VS Code language support for an internal scripting/templating language—this was all done in OCaml.

I'd love to work on software whose target audience is other developers. I'm very interested in programming languages, compilers, OS/systems programming, databases, and back-end work in general, but happy to stretch to front-end or (if a position calls for it) software eng/data analysis that's closer to the natural sciences.

Wholly agreed — the paper is a pretty mild analysis of the ways different companies have signaled their trustworthiness, and was hardly a scathing critique of OpenAI (or unreserved praise of Anthropic). I found it pretty decent.
Most of my systems avoid a boot partition, boot process is BIOS/UEFI -> grub (from EFI partition or MBR block) -> linux (from /boot in root).

However I do got one where UEFI boots the linux kernel directly, /boot is the EFI parition. And there it feels like a bit of a waste to have to expand /boot or insert a bootloader into the boot process because initramfs is getting bloated with files that aren't critical to mounting root.
I suspect you're right, and I find it to be so sad that anyone could read a fairly well-structured rebuttal to a throwaway conspiracy theory to be evidence of someone having a vested interest.
Hah, I'm a firm "no alignment allowed, indent only" reviewer, so that use case would never even occur to me.

It reminds me of accutane in a lot of ways. Some drugs are actually miraculous in how they solve problems, but can have some pretty nasty side effects. I wonder if Ozempic will end up like accutane as the final line of treatment when all other routes have been exhausted, or if the formulation will be refined to the point the side effects become minimal.

One interesting difference between Ozempic and accutane is that the accutane treatment is pretty much permanent after a dosage round but it seems like this Ozempic needs to be continuously taken to see effects. Which is great news for pharm companies

Ahh, no, I think there is an interesting question here, can a young person today go out west and build all that stuff from nothing. (Like people did a few hundred years ago)

Can you buy a small parcel of land, dig a well for water and a hole under the outhouse, plant veggies, have some chickens, pigs, perhaps a goat.

Can you do it in range of a cell tower for internet, do you need some satellite solution. How much solar and how big a battery do you really _need_. How would today's tech change the life of the settlers?

It's unclear what is in the highest byte, so I assume not 0x000x0y0z, but 0xab0x0y0z where ab is unknown (in the past comment I used XX for this). If highest byte is known, then sure, even better.
I really don't feel comfortable asking for help, even though I'm in an emergency mode with my whole day focused on trying to fix this. I've been trying to get back on my feet for months and I feel terrible about having to sit with my face in front of a screen all day trying to sort out my financial situation with short breaks to spend with my family, especially my son. I canceled a trip to see my parents for Christmas, who live far away, but it's the traditional meeting place. There are other many important dates that I simply cannot attend or do anything about at the moment, even 10 years of marriage in January. Anyway, I hope everything gets better soon. I'm trying hard, despite fear and other constant bad feelings.
why does it feels like I read this exact chain of thread few days ago? the only thing different is that chsin mentioned UK too.
The article suggests that when ozempic solves people’s weight loss issues, they will be happier and spend their money differently

But every discussion of ozempic inevitably brings up “ozempic face” which is some apparent aging and irreversible damage done to the skin/collagen.

So are we really changing the economy after obesity or are we just substituting one type of self-image issue with another, more difficult to treat one?
We're a while aways from YouTube being considered a protected public good in the way, say Internet access kind of is.

Should it be? Probably, yes. No reason there can't be oversight of the industry the way there is with TV stations and radio.

Should that oversight extend to letting people deny ads in their homes? That's a trickier question.
My grandmother likes to tell me about how she was perscribed amphetamines for weight loss in the the 1960s, and how she struggled to escape that. I'm wary of anything in this space that seems too good to be true, and articles like this one seem like a part of a massive media push to me. Almost reads like a "9/10 doctors smoke Camels" kind of situation.
Trying to reify the BitGrid, a novel computing architecture[1] that requires a whole new ecosystem to be useful. I've got a working simulator[2], so I can now start on compilers, routers, debugging techniques, etc.

I intend to get a chip designed and made through the Google or other chip shuttles. It's all open source hardware and software.

I just want to see it in use at least once, before I age out of the world. It's a bucket list item.

It's deterministic, because it's basically a set of LUTs and latches, which makes it easier to reason about. Yet it's also Turning complete, as a system. It should be useful for the type of compute job you use an FPGA for, but only if you don't care about latency. Everything is pipelined, so there's no fast way to get a single answer.

It should be a very cheap route to petaflops and/or low power, depending on how you optimize the chip. The simplicity of the design give a lot of flexibility to use, unlike routing things to fit in a specific FPGA.

It could offer proveably secure computing, while being power and silicon efficient, because you can literally build a virtual wall around a function and control all access.

We don't have to solve all of it, only a significant amount.

Also, perhaps the most important thing to solve is a proof of concept - that we can remove any space junk. From there we can start to compare and refine ideas to figure out what the possible solutions are.
