The Land of Not
The Land of Not
==

This is a document about the game "The Land of Not".

An opposite of opposite if like.

A 10x10 grid of words that are opposite to each other.

Need 50 opposites.

The following is English:

The opposite of not is not
The opposite of like is opposite
The opposite of left is right
The opposite of up is down
The opposite of in is out

The following is Clarity:

not not is knot
not like is opposite
not left is right
not up is down
not in is out
not animal is human
not knotty is royal
not royal is knotty
not artificial is natural

not sit is stand
not open is close
not winter is summer
not empty is full
not enter is leave

not yet is already
not sour is sweet
not summer is winter
not fall is spring
not sadness is happiness
not special is general

not suberb is centre
not strange is normal

not relevant is unrelevant # So it goes.
not relevant is also irrelivant # So it stays.

The following is word definition in Clarity:

the verb named not to get the opposite of something
the noun named knot is an organized or tangled set of things

The following is 'Typeless Clarity':

the opposite-of-opposite is like

the adjective named left is on, toward, or relating to the side of a
human body or of a thing that is to the west when the person or thing
is facing north.

The next is non-recursive because of the previous definition:

the adverb named left is on or to the left side.

the opposite of knot is not

QED

$ cat <<'X' > count-the-nots.sh
grep not TheLandOfNot.Clarity | grep -v named | sed 1d | wc -l
X

Got to 25 nots.

Threads has picked up quite a bit of steam in a lot of communities recently. Not sure how widespread it is but it seems to be doing fairly well.
Author seems to have only pop culture fidelity knowledge of autism. The first error is talking about autists as a group - no two autists are alike in their sociability or tolerance for bureaucracy. Infact, some even like and thrive in bureaucracy.
> OpenAI showed they can do capability extrapolate/predict (training loss) for the amount of compute they put in [1, see Predictable Scaling section]. This is also in line with earlier findings.

That’s interesting if it’s actually true. I think it’s important to keep in mind that it’s also their own marketing materials…

Ah, you're right. I forgot about HD which surprises me every time I visit. TBH I have knuckled under for Walmart, which I shop frequently, by using Walmart Pay on their app. I agree that for frequent shoppers it's well worth it, but useless to someone off the street who isn't used to it.

I as a frequent shopper just like the way I can scan my code at any point and then push one button to check out, and that they allow credit cards to back it. For a while before its launch I think it was rumored that Walmart Pay would require an ACH or debit, which would have made it a hard no for me.

I still think that we've seen major progress. For instance, the huge Kroger chain got on board sometime in the past 2 years after being NFC or Apple Pay laggards. CVS a couple years before that, I remember them being particularly prickly about never taking Apple Pay and they came around.
You might get more mileage out of Abstract, State Machines. They operate on structures instead of characters. Quite a few tools exist for them, too.
Threads has been that for me, but of course YMMV depending on the topics you like to follow. If you haven't tried tools like ThreadLink, Threads Sync, etc. lately, you might be surprised.
With all the due respect: go study.

P, NP, 3-SAT and all the other terms you are using have formal mathematical definitions -- you can't just make stuff up.

It's complete nonsense.
Is it rational to do anything pro-social that might not have any direct benefit to oneself? If humankind is to continue and to reach new heights someone is going to have to reproduce, so at the very least it’s a service towards that goal.
Can I extrapolate that 2025 is going to make 2023 look like 2021?
> It would be convenient if there was some common unified interface/abstraction for browser extensions

These days Firefox and Safari support Chrome's API, so isn't there effectivly a common interface already? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browser_extension
Yeah, I've been taught that Schrödinger basically made a guess as well... Very interesting how it really happened.
They totally missed 4-5 events of mass interest in leaving Twitter and now have to scramble for any interest.
What's Bluesky? This just looks like a Twitter clone?
"Because I believe differently than you, there isn't much to discuss." is a terrible way to convince others of your belief.

You're presupposing your conclusion and seem completely closed to the idea that you may be wrong.
This post is ridiculous. Had some more text here, but there's nothing else to say than that.

Anything I want to reply reads simply utterly stupid, like: do you really think there aren't kids able to hack corps? Did you really never read about previous hacks, and how easy they (partially) were?
Exactly, the numbers are subject to dispute, so this is a press release and the whole dataset is relevant including the dog that was needlessly killed. Though I’m sure the e/acc crowd don’t count it as a “real” death even though the dog really died.
In Addition to requiring a credit card, you could think of an invite-only system to have a chain of users that vouch for other users.
What does "too late" mean? I don't like Bluesky; it feels cliquish and insubstantial to me, and I do most of my Twitter-type writing on Mastodon now. But what am I losing by not writing on Twitter? I've been saying this for several months now, but the vibe I get from the current "fragmented" social media situation is of a reversion back to something like the heyday of Google Reader and the "blogosphere". Like: I need multiple browser tabs to keep track of everything?That's fine? It's better than when everything was crammed into a single site, with a single set of affordances nobody really liked.
It's lost the initial momentum but it's not dead yet. I'm still holding my breath that the critical mass makes the leap eventually; "it's just twitter but you can write and use custom clients and feed algorithms" is a compelling proposition

For me and a lot of others, it's the only twitter alternative we ever signed up for. A few never came back to twitter, but most did mostly for social reasons. But twitter as a platform gets worse each day, and if it ever truly breaks or dies, bsky will be the schelling point for a whole bunch of people
But you seem utterly incapable of justifying those beliefs to others...

Your beliefs are worthless to everyone else if you can't explain them, and no all you've done so far is declare what you believe to be correct, and have crumpled at the slightest sign of resistance. That demonstrates the weakness of your belief.
Here's Mike Battaglia playing a cover of "House of the Rising Sun" on a 31 EDO synth setup which I always loved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlZv13YZzSM
It has like, 30x more users than Mastodon lol

For now, it's the most viable alternative for Twitter - for now.

But this is in part because Mastodon UX is very complicated for beginners, and BlueSky is slow as hell to make improvements. It still doesn't support sending videos...
Not that much difference between the two really. And compared to iOS it’s a stark contrast to how Safari is doing on Macs.
I half agree with you. However, your argument that this is ableism is ridiculous. And you almost proved that yourself by stating that autism is not a disease. I would go a step further and say that it is not a disability, just a something that makes you think differently from the "normal" (which I would argue requires all free thought to be hammered out of you at a young age).
Really? It feels so slow... interface took a couple seconds to load, and then the actual posts another 3-4 seconds. This is on gigabit too. Overloaded right now?
There are well over 100m MAU so a lot of people are using it.

And it has reached the #1 position in most of the App Stores around the world.
The fact that physical theory has such good coverage of everyday circumstances is really tough news if you want to do physics, but it's excellent news if you want to do engineering :)
I think the point was controlled growth and community quality, not to capture Twitter's eternal September. Let them go to Threads.
Is my understanding right that this is the apple equivalent to DLSS?
VM gets the address via DHCP, but the host is supposed to assign it, not some external DHCP server.
Sounds like better performance (db is in on site) and integrated billing.
Brosky sold twitter and before he sold it it went from the best to the worst social media, why on earth would I go back there? Elon might be cringe but Twitter is legitimately less neurotic nowadays than it was before he sold it.
Fetch exists because everyone just writes a 10 line adaptor function that looks like fetch anyway, so might as well build it into the browser and save the trouble for people who don't need progress events.
I was responding to a particular argument. I've lost track of what we would be arguing about here. My point was pretty straightforward: high-test opiates don't simply kill because they're unregulated; they do a very good job of killing simply by being widely available at all.
i wish someone would bring back selina kyle linux, which was just opensuse but packed with all the legally dubious codecs and drivers and such that otherwise make it more of a pain to set up
> That, and Gemini was underwhelming.

Gemini Ultra wasn't yet fully released, so I'd like to correct your statement to: Gemini will be underwhelming.
Is it possible that there's something about the nature of computation that makes it so that P = NP / P != NP is simply unprovable/unknowable?
This has nothing to do with changes in the algorithm. I've been in search for 20+ years, so I'm quite familiar with how Google works. ;) My article explains why it's likely happening.

TL/DR is that spammers are likely exploiting two loopholes.
1. Longtail keywords are low competition and may trigger different algorithms.
2. Some/many of the search queries the spam ranks for trigger the more permissive Local Search algorithm

Plus there are other reasons why those sites are getting through, which are discussed in detail in the article.
Is Bluesky and Threads basically Twitter with different moderation policies? I can see why someone might leave Twitter for Mastodon but why would you leave for one of those 2? Just block people you don't want to see stuff from.
Hey, this is one of the first posts I've read about this that contains real actionable steps instead of bs. Thanks.
Most of my people seemed to have landed on bsky. Discussions there get shares and likes, unlike mastodon where for me it's just a few void-shouts per day. Threads appears to be 100% mid celebrities who I am sure Facebook is paying to hang around.
So you don't consider civil disobedience to be an appropriate way to agitate for change?
For responsible scientists and researchers who've disclosed to Google how this is being used to execute large-scale phishing attacks, and Google opting to not fix it, this news warms our hearts.

Spam on!
Because you generally only need to do DNS lookup at app startup and you are done. So node local is overhead and complexity you rarely need. In this case, it was present and I wonder if this level of complexity was one of reasons for the outage.
"Reports" is all they have. No evidence, only reports from a biased source (the prosecutors).
In a regular doc, if you start typing at the beginning, then all the lines after it move down as you type. It's just the movement I find distracting, compared to appending to a doc with no space below where I'm inserting text. I'd rather feel like I'm typing into empty space rather than up against a wall.

Compelling for whom? For developers? I’m not sure anyone else will care.

This has been kind of a bad year for Google AI

Feb - Bard Launched with LaMDA -- Immediately replaced by Palm 2 backend within a month.

May - Launched Palm2 with 4 different sizes, 2 of which were unusable (poor Gecko) and 1 of which was unavailable (unicorn being invite-only/ask your google rep), which replaced Palm-540. Will be replaced by Gemini Ultra apparently next year as "Bard Advanced"

Launched Duet AI for both Workspace and Cloud, still compares unfavorably to GH Copilot.

SGE basically caught up to ChatGPT web search with Bing

June - Imagen released, results were ok, and immediately superseded by DallE3 within 3 months.

November - Youtube releases AI Music generation, but only as part of their Music AI Incubator.

Gemini launches with the infamous blue duck video.

Gemini Ultra will likely be gatekept just like Palm2-Unicorn despite performance only matching GPT4/Turbo (and despite delaying their official launch by a quarter).
How big is YouTube?
Threads actually is pretty nice o.o
Hmmm. Definitely reminds me of taint mode in Perl5.

Wow, the definitions dont just have the wrong formal definitions, but like the wrong intuitive/informal definitions
iOS PWA support is getting worse and worse with every release...

iOS 16.4 added new wake lock api but it does not work in PWA. Still not fixed in iOS 17.2

iOS 17 removed dark/light mode switching in PWA. Still broken in iOS 17.2

Even if your an experienced software engineer, Linux makes somethings impossible.

Want to play some Call of Duty or The Finals, nope anti cheat only works on Windows.

I'd probably tell most people to just buy a Mac if they don't want to play games. I like Linux personally, but I don't find myself using it as a desktop OS unless I want to tinker with something.

I do find Linux great for programming through, no temptation to jump into a game.
Is my impression correct — if you introduce fundamental (quantized) randomness, classic physics turns into quantum physics. Or is that an over simplification?
Done correctly, we have the opportunity to create something that can answer any questions we have, provide solutions to problems that we cannot and manage for us essentially all of the tedious and monotonous aspects of life.

How isn't that what we ought to do? We will have so much more time to be human in a world ran by AI.

A humanity free from bullshit is a humanity truly capable of anything.
Userscripts also use a common interface (for now)

Who knows what will happen after Manifest v3
I made two claims and I don't know which one you're dismissing with the intellectual equivalent of "no u".
Some people I know use it. I use it from times to times but the crypto community hasn’t really been active there. My guess is that if you have a big instagram following then Threads make a lot of sense.
At this point the ownership of Twitter is the problem for a lot of people, and then there's the change to the system itself, neither of which can be resolved by blocking.
If you just want automatic mTLS, LinkerD is an option.

Ultimately I hope to go with Cilium and I hope the recent news around OpenTofu are enough to dissuade Cisco from trying anything funny
First, I completely acknowledge the usefulness of putting yourself in a dedicated space for the task of work, helping you to train your mind to focus on work things at work time, and hopefully only at work time.

Don't get me wrong, coworking (without an expensive private office) has major downsides, I would love to not have to set up my workspace and tear it down (complete with portable monitor, and keyboard and mouse), and also to not have to lug all this heavy stuff with me daily, but my move was out of sheer necessity because of how loud and disruptive little kids are in the afternoon. The setup/teardown waste 5 minutes daily, but interruptions wasted hours.

What I've learned is just that we've each got to find a way to work within the options available to us. With an infinite budget I'd build a super nice 10x20 office in my backyard, but tbh the proximity to a well-meaning little kid who craves my attention would still limit the effectiveness of that plan.
How does Bluesky compare to Mastodon?
Sounds like a great task for AI to prove as true, false, or unknowable
I'm really curious as to what will happen when Threads turns on ActivityPub federation for everyone. At that point, Threads and Mastodon will be the same network, aside from servers that have preemptively blocked Threads.
Yeah, it’s fast but almost always wrong. I asked it a few things (recipes, trivia etc…) and it completely made up the answers. These things don’t really know how to say “I don’t know” and pretend to know everything.
wgpu is gfx-rs, no? It’s just a name change.
Mastodon uses ActivityPub for interoperability with a wide ecosystem of apps
The options this creates are super accessible to non-technical people. You can go on the app store right now and take your pick of bsky clients, and you can browse/search different algos from within the app and keep a list of your favorites and swap between them, it's all very user-friendly

Most of the biggest complaints people have about twitter are client-side problems. So just having an ecosystem of clients (and the competitive pressure that puts on the official client) makes the experience way better
I think the OP's statement is perfectly fine.

We don't really care which of those trillions of sewer bacteria carries the pre-existing genes that resist an anti-biotic; we care when a new strain starts becoming prevalent and decreasing the effectiveness. From our perspective, it's a new resistant strain.
That’s not a coincidence.
OK, fair point. Forgot about CG-NAT, but dyndns still meant I was able to access stuff remotely despite not having a static IP.
Since the Threads launch, I barely used BlueSky anymore. Now with the new logo, I opened again for the first time in 4 months or so, thinking that well, there was improvements? No.

You still can't send videos and gifs. That's just, so basic for a social network.

Let alone all the other missing things, and how awful the apps are. They are basically the worst example to show React Native. The app here on Android takes 15 seconds to open (an improvement, it took 30 seconds before).
It's sluggy, no animations, etc. Feels like Alpha.
I'm not sure "he assaulted multiple people because he was lashing out due to autism" is an explanation that will garner much sympathy from people. From my perspective it makes him sound unstable and out of control - exactly the kind of person we should remove from society for our and his safety.
Are you suggesting Google is a narcissist incubator? (only slightly tongue in cheek)
For those of us who didn't major in physics... where did the whole "action" thing (let alone the thesis that it's minimized) itself even come from? The whole notion of "action" feels entirely foreign and unintuitive for someone who's just studied Newtonian mechanics. At least I've never managed to find a real world feel for what it is, unlike with force or energy.
Spending the Day on Alcohol and Drug Abuse Lake (2021)
Why would you care which billionaire owns the platform? If he annoys you just block him.
It exactly does, particularly if someone who has no idea about autism decides to try to restrain or something
Many of the people that some of us want to follow have now left X.

Often this all gets framed as a "freedom of speech" issue. But I know first hand of women who in recent months on X have been harassed with death threats. When they've reported it has been ignored because the company simply lacks the resources/will to enforce those policies.

And so even if Threads is nothing more than a better-staffed clone that is enough for them.
The reality is that it depends on the person, because autism spectrum people have various intensities of various traits that might make them practically useless in even the most trivial job, or a strict adherent of the systems to a problematic degree, or somewhere in the middle but incapable of working with others in a way that's really difficult to manage, or they're just luckily well-suited for the context.

Doing well in that sort of environment is a skill or disposition that's well-suited to a low degree of volatility and a high degree of predictable behavior, both of which are not so likely to be present in someone with autism. Seeing how people who become managers in tech fail to adapt to someone who works in a marginally different way than they'd like, I don't have so much optimism unless their superiors have specific training and possible accomodations.

Some autistic people are no-doubt brilliant and super productive, some can't do anything on their own, much like the general population I suppose, but I'd wager with a lower chance of being productive in a very typical office setting, even if they're brilliant.
> Religious Pakistan has almost double the fertility rate of secular Bangladesh, despite similar GDP per capita.

I agree with your overall conclusion, but nowadays Bangladesh's GDP per capita is significantly higher than Pakistan's, so that part of your argument no longer holds. And, Bangladesh's economy is now growing significantly faster than Pakistan's (in 2022, 7.1% vs 4.7%), so it seems likely that Bangladesh will keep on pulling ahead.
It's so dumb.

Someone please explain how a social network is supposed to succeed when it's invite-only? Hype alone won't carry it.

IMO, being invite-only is THE reason Google+ failed. There were so many memes about people getting excited for an invite, getting on, and then finding only a couple people they knew were on it, if any at all.

For a social network to work, it needs to be a network. Limiting on-boarding eliminates the network, and so people lose interest fast.
This is great! I've been using Caret or Sublime for note taking for years, love this.
Why? Isn’t it easier to bundle your dependencies rather than deal with whatever may or may not be installed on the client system?
Amazingly enough, that pretty much works, but you'll never hear about it because the name of it is impossible to search for: https://www.wpeebles.com/Gpt
If you have millions of dollars and feel poor - move.
Humans take a much much longer time to evolve than bacteria (and much longer than we've been shooting each other), and your average human doesn't die to gunfire before they get to reproduce.

I'm sure if you put humans in an environment with a major chance of dying to gunfire before they reproduced for hundreds of millions of years or whatever we'd start to develop thicker bones or something - or just earlier and faster reproduction.
It's sad how people predisposed to hate him write it off as "election year pandering" when if he didn't do it he wouldn't be "doing what his constituents want".

And on other social media you can see how juvenile people are when they say "why don't you just legalize it".
