I used to unconditionally hate videos, especially tech videos, for exactly this reason. Later I realized that these videos are made for a completely different audience - most of them are meant to be watched while sitting on a sofa with some coffee or popcorn on a Sunday evening, rather than technical communication. It's great that you can coincidentally learn something while watching it, but it's primarily infotainment. Meanwhile, clicking Hacker News or Reddit links is the modern equivalent of reading newspapers and magazines, with an audience who demands more efficient communication.

You are quite brainwashed if you are describing neo-Nazis as "just" "wanting to preserve their race." I hope you can recover.
Who picks up their phone while driving? Or looks away for a few seconds? If you're driving 80 kph and looks away for three and a half second, that's basically 80 meters of movement where you didn't see anything. Just crazy.
Because then you get money from traditional banks which costs you a lot. VC money is free, especially if you fail. And the next time is always easier because they like people who failed "they learned something".
I’m intuitively not all that worried about LLMs in particular. I am worried about the commercial imperative to produce AI (by whatever path we may eventually find it) being at odds with the technical and sociopolitical ability to steer that AI toward good outcomes (whatever that may mean).

I have no clue whether LLMs will get us there (neither do you) and I have no clue whether we’re 6 months away or 600 years away (neither do you).

What LLMs have revealed is that very reasonable checkpoints will be blown through for commercial purposes. We are reliably producing unexpected emergent capabilities with each new scale up. We are reliably failing to get these systems to behave as their creators intend. We are continually deploying these systems to the public anyway, and we are continually connecting them to other, increasingly vital, systems.

If your argument is “we’ll never reach a superhuman or self-improving AI,” I’m open to hearing that argument. Tell me how you know. If nothing precludes us from building it, then I know that we will eventually build it due to the commercial incentives.

If your argument is “we’ll get there, but don’t worry because we’ll stop minutes before deployment and figure out all the alignment/emergent behaviors/social distribution/airgapping problems before pressing ‘deploy’,” then I ask what is your evidence? What capability have we shown to make such a decision at such a moment?
Yes they used them. IIRC it was specially mentioned how _unusual_ it was to even HAVE artillery in the age of shields, much less use them. It worked on Dune because of how shields affect sandworms and are difficult to maintain in sandstorms.

Using them in the Harkonen invasion against the shielded Atreides army flies against everything in the books. Those missiles would kill nobody and could never destroy a shielded ship.
Mismanagement and poor execution seems to have doomed this project, but the idea still seems viable to me. Some of the price disparities with vertical hydroponics fall away when compared against pure "organics."

Admittedly, I'm no expert, but I'd be interested in a comparison of economics and impacts with regenerative farming for turning out high quality organic produce.

Which one was first? From memory Linear might outdate Tailwind UI.

Also Linear has been defining in terms of their website design, they have been doing a lot of impactful work.
Absolutely! My original plan had been to scrape their website using Selenium or similar.

I quickly noticed that they had employed lazy loading, which would have made that all but impossible. It took me a good few minutes to realise that if they had lazy loading, there had to be a backend, and I was overjoyed when I found out it was serving JSON.

All in all, it was probably much cheaper for them to have me hitting the API endpoint every minute than scraping the website even once a day
An erudite observation indeed.
When the screen time settings are protected by a separate Apple ID with a separate phone number registered for 2FA (obviously the SIM card or eSIM shouldn’t be on the same phone), this works. In this situation you need access to that second account’s SIM card (which can be locked with a PIN) to remove the lock.

Keep in mind afaict this is the situation with 2nd account having Rescue Code enabled. Things might be different if it’s not.

Email me for how to actually restrict yourself with iOS Screen Time (without 3rd party apps) in a way which you really-really can’t bypass when you feel down. Disclaimer: Not an Apple employee, but a former smartphone addict, ahem, I’m sorry, user.[1]

1: I believe all smartphone users are addicts as much as rest of their lives allows it, without the use of hard restrictions.
email support for anything other than jpg and gif is pretty sparse.
Thanks for the pointer. Did you have a specific scenario in mind where this would be helpful?

Tailcall looks like something that could go in front of my library as an orchestration gateway.

However, as my library intentionally does not include any transport mechanism, you'd first have to expose it over HTTP (e.g. https://github.com/commitspark/example-http-express ). In my case, I actually have a couple of Next.js web apps where I load the library directly into the code instead and pass my queries to it without first going through HTTP.
it's not a great habit, but i've routinely witnessed people in sports cars crack the door open for additional clearance to manipulate their belts or adjust their seats, then quickly re-closing the door -- my point being that this kind of thing isn't absolutely exclusive to people chewing tobacco, and the car stomping the brakes or whatever is clearly under-thought.
No. It just means wireless charging can be efficient and you can also have inefficient wired chargers.
It's a clickbait headline.
Its capacitive touchscreen was revolutionary. That's what enabled the UI to be done in a different way. This isn't some "great design creates great product" thing. It's the underlying tech that did it, and if the UI had been different, it would been just as revolutionary.

I would argue that the addition of the app store is what made the iPhone really jump phones forward.
> Apple put a tonne of effort into continuity between arches.

Still can't run windows on an M* mac, can you? Why? Because there is literally no documentation for the CPU and they didn't really follow any standards. They just built some shit that literally only Marcan probably knows how it actually works. Even the people who made it probably don't know how it works, only how it is supposed to work.
The whole idea is idiotic. There is enough land to provide agriculture development. The problem is that farmers are gettin paid too little and taxed too much.
It's the court's job to argue with idiots. Saves the rest of us some time and grief.
The first and only episode I watched revolved around one of the male leads training the female lead like a dog, by giving her food treats when she completed tasks for him.

I don't know if that was representative but I decided it was not for me.
My goodness, seriously? Just another reason to hold on to youngtimers..
Exactly this. Back of the envelope calculation tells me this concept is fundamentally NOT economically viable. Period. No amount of software engineering can change basic laws of thermodynamics or laws of demand and supply
A telegram bot (C#, SQLite, Raspberry Pi) which parses messages in a dedicated chat between my partner and I which we use to record shared purchases made outside of our joint bank account (we share only this one joint account and manually top it up as needed). The bot responds to commands like reset, summary, etc. Periodically we'll ask the bot to summarise and tell us all the purchases and if one of us owes the other money.

I plan to use this as a base for a few other bots I have in mind (homelab control/monitoring for e.g.).
You joke but I’m pretty sure I experienced this recently on a flight. Being shown ads when you have the ability to opt out is one thing. Being shown ads when you’re a captive audience in an already relatively high stress environment seems outright villainous to me.

Developing, training, retraining, and delivering a competitive AI service today requires an army of expensive people and a huge investment in infrastructure.

It's not cheap!

Moreover, any improvement, whether it's better generation, longer context, a new modality, cheaper prices, or something else, is quickly replicated by all major groups.

They're in a race to see who can spend the most the fastest while charging the least to prevent customers from switching.

Meanwhile, free open-source alternatives keep getting better and more efficient.

So invest a tiny amount to figure that out before investing a lot of money. There is a reason funding goes in rounds - round one we have a few smart people who want to work together, fund us for 6 months (maybe a year) to figure out where there is a market. The output of that round is those calculations, then you get more money for round two to create tiny prototypes/models to verify the problems you identified in round one are solvable, then round three to perfect the prototypes, and round four to scale it. You can add or remove rounds as needed, the important point here is that as rounds more $$$ the risk needs to go down.
What do you think about Orion Browser for Apple stuffs?
I agree. Search is abysmal. Discord is fine for community chat, but it’s awful as a replacement for customer support forums.
Do you know of anyone who has put "election disinformation" in context between less politically intersecting untruths (urban legends, eg "say bloody Mary three times") and more politically intersecting untruths (eg state worship of Ashur)?

That is indeed interesting. For years, there was talk of manufacturing, trade jobs and "hands-on" work going away. 4 year college degrees were the only answer. Interesting that it might be the opposite in the end.

Lot of the upcoming automation is going to be on the soft skill side. Those with kids now need to reset how they think of trade jobs and hands on work. It should be an option that is considered and certainly not frowned upon.
Depends on place. Look at satellite images of Germany or parts of Europe in general and it looks like it's all farms with some fake forest interspersed (the "forest" is itself farmland for wood).

Very few places left that are free from intrusion on land (and none if you count biochemical or atmospheric disturbance). And it's mostly spots that can't be exploited for physical infrastructure, tourism or agriculture.

I've done some back-of-the-envelope calculations with a farmer acquaintance of mine. To preserve a sizable naturally developing habitat you'd need to at least halve Germany's population given current consumption patterns...
I wrote pq [1] (protobuf parser cli) at a company where I was told to "just use the tool another engineer wrote" which was in C++, in a really uncompileable/abandoned/unusable state

I wrote goat [2] (EBS disk attacher) at the same company on a solo project where I needed to create a "Kafka-cluster-IaC" recipe in Terraform and wanted us to be able to replace EC2 broker instances dynamically but preserve their data on the EBS volume

In both cases, existing tools weren't helping me and I wrote these to help myself immediately (and they became general/popular a bit later)

I think it is a false comparison. Public defender has a role to defend these who could not afford to defend themselves. In addition they protect suspects, not criminals. Not even slightly comparable to the case here.
Huh, the schools around my place have signs with times indicating session, so like 8-16 weekdays is 30 km/h otherwise 50. Are you expected to know that yourself?
You won't go far with Chromium or WebKit on their own, and Firefox remains to be seen if it is still around in a decade.
I don't understand why people don't see the profit motive in "alternative" medicine.

There is profit motive everywhere in everything because we live in a market economy. Alternative medicine is a gigantic industry, as is "alternative" media etc. Everyone is making money and people tend to promote the things they are selling.

It's the typical populist thing of "I don't trust the establishment anymore, so now I am going to go mindlessly believe everything this random asshole on YouTube says..."
Public comments from the CEO need to hold the same weight as the company website, I think. Especially when they all end in “100% confident”.
7 days is already significantly limiting, the "nagging paywall" would drive me away from the app entirely. The extra free time from adding card info isn't terrible. I imagine you'd need to play with the numbers, e.g., is 7 days even enough time to evaluate the added complexity over a traditional to-do app? Maybe it could be 14.
I tried signing up for it earlier this year, but they sent an email with a tracking link to download software I'm supposed to just install blindly. Doing things that way in 2023 struck me as so horrifically out of touch that I just passed on bothering with it.

Clearly a distinctly minority attitude, but I guess that's life.
On one side I can see that rich countries are perfectly happy to have offloaded their polluting industries to developing countries. On the other, it's also very obvious that we mostly end up stacking things instead of replacing them: we've never consumed as much coal as now, even with all the alternative sources of energy available. We simply do more and are more inefficient.
TFA is cancer, pun certainly intended. Low effort "summaries" that are completely inaccurate.

The summary for "Study 2" mentions Akkermansia muciniphila--which is not mentioned even once in the linked study.

"Study 3" has absolutely nothing to do with mental health--environmental health, maybe, but nothing whatsoever to do with linking glyphosate exposure to anxiety or depression.

"Study 4" has nothing to do whatsoever with urine, or the "urine metabolome," whatever that is.

The summary of "Study 6" mentions that it is about aquatic organisms like fish and crayfish. It's not--it's about bees and pollination.

"Study 7" is about mouse oocytes--not about soil at all.

"Study 9" is about zebrafish, and has nothing to do with Type II diabetes or CVD in humans.

You are right, and it makes me sad.

If a guy shows up and says "Give me 25 mil to open 10 acre potato farm" nobody would give him money because there is no chance of 10x+ return on investment. However his contribution to society is 10x+ than 99% of the startups.
The airport in the city I fly out of have the upgraded scanners, nothing comes out of the bag any more. You do still have to take your shoes off though

As more and more airports upgrade to the new scanners I see less and less of having to remove Electronics into separate bins.

Even at aiports with the old scanners I have never removed mouse to go through security... and rarely do i do separate bins, 1 Bin for my Shoes, Belts, Jacket etc, 1 Bin for my Electronics, Laptop, Cell, SteamDeck, and Tablet all go in 1 bin, never had a problem
Reaction to your other points:

-1- Boomer powerpoint. Yes, guilty. Although I made it using Prezi, I guess my education is from the previous century;-0

-2- I started with yes/no/no opinion, but decided this did not scale enough. You could off course discuss the options in e.g. a Whatsapp group before (‘does it have to have a vegan option?’ Or ‘Within Brooklyn area’), but do not see a viable solution in which I could ‘design’ this out.

-3- I actually started with sharing a base64 string / uuencoded / version, but decided this was to errorprone (in an earlier version you could ‘paste’ a string which was then interpreted as a string of choices).
But when the choices can be any link, e.g. https://example.com/some_deep_path/escape_room_in_NewYersey, and the next be a text option as ‘lets just take a walk into the Mountains from the Grand Canyon’, I think limitations of size becomes a problem. E.g. SMS would not be an option anymore to share the options with others.

Since I developed this app, other options have become available, e.g. Whatsapp has a survey option. The only real ‘unique selling point’ is the quick access to Netflix categories (although not all choices may be available everywhere in the world), or the tripadvisor and the fork options for restaurants. And off course the brilliant ‘swipe left/right’ to vote for or against an option;-0
Not. As pointed out, opening and re-closing isn't uncommon, especially in winter.

Their model architecture don't allow for individual route tuning.
They speak about promises, but when you look at the tables, the accuracy rates are pretty much haphazard. And then you have the usual plagiarism issue as well the issue of not knowing where the code is coming and how reliable it is. But they're still pushing; interesting to see whether it will be a dead horse in terms of investments.

That explains everything. In my country Czechia, there are ongoing scam ads on YouTube and Instagram where the president of our country supposedly passed some law to give every citizen free money, if they invest via some broker into our biggest energy producer.

It links to fake news site (copy of the biggest news site in the country), with fake news detailing our president just passed and to rush to get your free money. It's absolutely insane. I reported it multiple times and always just get "it doesnt break any policices". What? :D

It's pure cancer. I only saw this because of the recent YouTube adblock drama after disabling my uBlock after years. YouTube wants me hard to get back to watch ads, these ads, yea thanks no. At least some ads on Instagram are relevant.
> ‘It has nothing to do with “the boss”‘

All the stories about Twitter/X suggest that absolutely everything revolves around what the boss wants on a given day.

That’s autocratic micromanagement, and its downside is that the boss ultimately has a limited attention span and employees learn how to distract him with shiny demos that show a glimpse of the impossible thing he demanded they ship.

I disagree - all EGS did was fund exclusives. Meanwhile, both Apple and Google have been propping up other categories with gaming spends, and offering hushed sweetheart deals to other categories.
