Forgetting context is a problem, for sure. One thing I've found that works fairly well is to include a request for a "status bar" in your prompt. I.e. you ask it to remind itself with each response 1) who it is pretending to be 2) what the date is 3) what the setting is 4) what is in their NPCs "inventory" (which it intuitively understands because LLMs seem to have a natural affinity with MUDs). You can even have it track its mood and variables like weather.

As the context windows of Claude/GPT-4 etc increase, I think this will be less of an issue, but for now it's a pretty effective workaround.

Here's an example of the prompts I'm using (from an activity I just did with my world history class): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sLRsUVJ_KSPtjrO83ko2MSFf...

> Your narrative is consistent neither with the text of the law, nor with the legislative history, nor with the broader legal and business history surrounding the adoption of Section 230.

The law only mentions content provider. What is that? The law doesn't say. Its broad. Its so vague that it could comprise the ISP, the ethernet cable plugged into your computer, the website, a moderating person, the drafter of a moderating policy, and just about anything else touched by an electron. As such its impossible to be wrong in interpretation because all interpretations are allowed as the law is written, which is precisely why everybody online is granted blanket immunity. That is the greatest example of tort reform as all torts are expressly eliminated to/from all parties. That is absolutely not the intent.
Love it! Will definitely use this when a quick screenshot will help specify what I am confused about. Is there a way to hide the window when I am not using it? i.e. I hit cmd+shift+' and it shows the window, then when the response finishes reading, it hides again?

We're in an industry with tons of trade conferences and sponsorships drive a lot of ROI. For us the value of the conference is really a marketplace; a place to meet customers and a place for customers to meet vendors (b2b).

That's what abandonware was all about. If you don't support or sell the software any more, it becomes public domain.

But it was a idealistic view not accounting for the future. Today you can run virtualized anything anywhere. The software companies can claim 80s software still being usable because they can deploy it that way.

We considered that console game ROMs will become public domain because once the console lifecycle is over, no original proprietor earns a dime. It's all 2nd hand sales from there on. But, today you run these via their virtual console products and they still make money off them, so public domain is off limits.
Documentation is one of those things that once there's a lot of it, it's its own product.

First, you have to have someone constantly making sure it's up to date in the case of software. Really easy for it to go stale and just be wrong, and possibly actively harmful.

Though not notifications, I've included code to annotate YC startup job listings, just so I could clearly distinguish them from regular posts.

I took to increasingly muting the notification such that it now reads:

background: #eee;
}

html[op="news"] .athing td:nth-of-type(2):not(.votelinks):before {
content: "YC";
position: relative;
left: 0.8em;
top: 0;
color: #000;

> Section 230 was explicitly about allowing service providers to act in an editorial capacity

Absolutely. Sites with user-generated content would be practically unusable without such protections.

However, the first two sub-sections list why the protections are being granted in the first place. When a social media platform's moderation actions are sufficiently opposed to those purposes, then I would argue they are no longer "good faith" moderation decisions per section 230 and thus fall outside of its protection.

There is probably a lot of software from then that isn't copyright. Back then you had to register copyright or you didn't have it - often that wouldn't have been done. Then you had to re-register the copyright, which given the software wasn't in use anymore wouldn't have been done. Both of these factors do not apply to modern software (at least not in most countries)

So now you're moving the goal posts. Now it's MAD (which I don't deny). I think we're done here. You're also bringing up irrelevancies like wage fixing: true, but not patents.

the claim was "they cross-license." As I said if you read, the myth is "plausible" but not "confirmed."

yes, there are some cross-licenses. No, they are not universal. I gave examples of obvious ones that nevertheless don't exist.

On Motorola: I'm afraid I have to claim superior knowledge on that one. At the time, Google was actually hiring patent acquisition people, and in fact, I was interviewing them. They probably fell for the myth that you fell for.

They stopped that pretty quickly, when it became clear that most of Motorola's patents were worthless. I've looked them over myself. They were worth less than nothing: it meant that suits against Motorola now had to be defended. In other words, it was a big mistake that they undid.

> Word processing or image editing software aren't protected by Section 230, and they aren't forced to monitor their users for crime.

Online collaborative word processing and image editing software are protected by Section 230, and that is why they are not forced to actively monitor their user's content for torts even if they moderate shared content otherwise.

(Non-collaborative image editing or word processing doesn't incur publisher liability even without Section 230, so Section 230 is irrelevant.)

(Section 230 explicitly doesn't affect criminal liability, but it also isn't needed there, since doing some moderation doesn't create a state under criminal law, without Section 230, that would substitute for actual knowledge, the way it does in tort law.)

The issue is that the way this is written the AI doesn't have to be responsible for the liable content, it just has to be involved. If I post something defamatory on HN, and HN helpfully checks my grammar, then HN is no longer protected by section 230. The language isn't precise enough. Maybe a court would interpret "involved" to mean "materially contributed to the illegal nature of the content", but maybe not?

> This state HATES its constituency, beyond anything more than their "fair" votes.

Before you can say that, I think first you have to show that most of the voters in TN want ranked choice voting. In my experience many people do not want it, because they feel it is unfair and that it amounts to getting multiple votes.

And before anyone argues at me about "that isn't what RCV means", you're preaching to the choir. I am 100% for using some form of RCV instead of FPTP voting. But if it turns out most of the people in TN favor FPTP, then their representatives are simply doing their job on behalf of the people. I don't know if that's the case, but it wouldn't surprise me based on past experience.

The OP was talking about politicians and at least for politicians on a national level that is certainly true. Look up any of the many political compass/categorisation sites and you will find the Democrats economic, defence, education... policies typically to the right of the major conservative party in European countries (CDU, French republicans, moderaterna in Sweden...).

Now with social/drug policies it's typically more complicated, and there are vast differences between European countries as well (e.g. Sweden is extremely restrictive for drugs and even the major left parties don't push for changes).

The overall point still stands though. Now among the population there is much greater variety, but this is one of the issues with the US two party system, significant portions of views in the electorate are not represented.
Every optimization that you don't need to do is a win. With glibc, performance impact of unnecessary allocations might be minimal, but with musl allocations suddenly matter a lot.
I think there's some of both. Plenty of people with low interest rates have little motivation for payoff.

One thing that many modern takes on hunter gatherers gloss over is the way women were treated. There was profound sexual inequality.

Often hunter gatherer societies practiced polygyny. Women were mainly valued for their ability to bear children. Women were often seen as a possession - first to their fathers who would sell them (bride price) to their husbands. Often there was no consent.

In addition, the modern states that these hunter gatherer societies are a part of don’t allow them to practice unrestricted warfare quite like they used to. So bands can’t go around killing all the males and taking the conquered tribe’s women and supplies. Because of this, looking at hunter gatherer societies that exist now is not necessarily reflective of how it actually was.
Odd choice to tell readers to stay tuned for the other articles instead of linking to them. The intro seems a bit superficial – if Groovy combines Java & Python, wouldn't it make sense to at least mention what inspiration it takes from Python and where it's on the untyped-typed scale is? The tone of the series feels like marketing speech: "Variables in Apache Groovy: Powerful, concise and easy"

Instead we get an entire article about getters and setters, which uses a Java example with pointless getters and setters that just directly read/write a variable.

> Groovy has syntactic support for maps using [] to get and set the value based on the variable within the square brackets

Why variable? Does that mean you can't use expressions for indexing?

System.err.println "Usage: groovy Groovy01.groovy input-file"
System.exit(0)

Why does only the second call need parentheses?

String s
s = 42

Looks like Groovy is weakly typed?

strParam != null && strParam.isInteger() ? Integer.parseInt(strParam) : 0

Doesn't Groovy already have if-else? Why also add `?:` ?

> In the previous article, you learned that Groovy’s version of truth means you don’t need to test for not null

The previous article doesn't even mention the word truth.

I honestly don't understand how "If you don't opt out within 30 days you'll be bound to the new TOS" works.

I have heard of two big "trends" of how people think about legal contracts:

[1] What is written there and what both parties agreed to is the truth.

[2] A contract is supposed to be a "meeting of the minds". If it's proven that one party was being deceitful, then the contract (or that part) doesn't hold.

If we go by [1], then the company can change the TOS by sending me a notice with "if you don't opt out, then you're bound by these terms"... but so should I. I should be able to send a letter to 23&me saying "if you don't disagree these are the new terms: if my information is ever hacked, you owe me 10M dollars in damages"

If we go by [2], then sending a notice like that is absolutely invalid. They have no way of proving that I read that notice within 30 days, so there was never a "meeting of the minds".

The article claims that

"Although manure itself can be used as fertilizer, doing so can be costly, logistically challenging and has environmental drawbacks."

... but knowing what I know about permaculture design, this assertion comes from a particular way of seeing, one that that contributes to system issues. It's not enough to look at efficiency, you also have to look at efficacy. I think the simple aproach of muck-spreading is better.

Integrating ranching with farming reduces the "logistical challenge", and proper design means the "environmental drawbacks" turns into solutions.
> The part of hunter-gatherer societies being at the brink of starvation more often than not?

That's the wrong part. I believe there's no known history of famine in hunter-gatherers. That only really became a thing with agriculture.

Hunter-gatherer populations were small; there was plenty of food generally speaking. Which is why relatively so little time had to be spent acquiring it, in comparison with the back-breaking worth of agriculture.

Of course, once agriculture started using up all the land that was previously being used for hunting and gathering, well then hunting and gathering was no longer viable. But that was something new with the introduction of agriculture.
