Hm, looking into it, I'm having trouble finding an easy answer. A quick search turned up this article [1] which says that yes Paul Samuelson named it that way for that reason, and links to this video [2] where he claims exactly that. But it also links to a source suggesting that the terms might predate Samuelson and be geographic in origin after all.

Well, if nothing else, it should at least be easy to check that (even if they existed elsewhere earlier) Samuelson thought he was independently inventing these terms, right? Except, in the paper where he supposedly invented these terms [3], he introduces them as follows:

> However, the simple integral (24) does give a solution under all cases to the simpler case of a warrant that can be exercised only at the end of the period T. We might call this a "European warrant" by analogy with the "European call," which, unlike the American call that is exercisable at any time from now to T, is exercisable only at a specified terminal date.

Note that nowhere previously does the paper make use of the "American" or "European" terminology, so it sounds like "European call" and "American call" here are references to pre-existing terminology -- suggesting that he didn't invent it after all! Huh.

Well, that got murkier than I expected. Don't really want to investigate further right now, but sounds like he didn't actually invent the terminology after all...?

This seems to be setting a bad precedent. If they setup this massive licensing market, doesn't that mean free and open source llms etc. will be illegal as they can't afford to license their stuff from billion dollar big license holders...
Or standards bodies exist in practice to push vendor solutions on others.

Apple plays that game well.
There is quite literally a modal pop-up that explains it, which you must dismiss before you can begin interacting with the demo. Quoting the pop-up: "This alpha demo lets you experience ultra-low latency performance using the foundational LLM, Llama 2, 70B created by Meta AI - running on Groq."

Towards the bottom of the page, it also says "Model: Llama 2 70B/4096".

Below that, it says "This is a Llama2-based chatbot."
> which is what I'm really interested in

Part of the problem is a lot of us don't want "innovation" here. The limitation for the Twitter clones that I've found is none of them (including Twitter these days) have the critical mass of people it used to have.
Your app is awesome, it's just so satisfying to use. Really fantastic job!

My two cents on block insertion: Personally, I would love if Cmd+Enter inserts a new block at the very top

For inserting a new block in sequence, I feel like Cmd+Shift+Enter (splitting the current block) might already be enough - but I obviously haven't used heynote for long enough to have a very informed opinion on this :)

Maybe there's some way to make the behavior configurable?
> Everybody was talking about starvation and lack of food.

Source? My understanding is that foragers did not have more starvation than that.

> People have been talking about the population explosion.

Which is a direct cause of the technological improvements that allow us to grow our population by pushing the limits of our environment. Foragers did not grow that much because it was not possible. Turns out they were not destroying their environment, we are.

> If we mitigate climate change, it won’t be from people decided to conserve and use less, but due to the masssive scaling of mostly solar energy that can produce carbon free energy cheaply.

That's a common misconception. Turns out electricity makes for ~20% of our energy consumption, and solar energy is very, very far from being a viable solution for those 20%. People who love solar energy tend to extrapolate from its current grow, though it is completely marginal and backed by fossil fuels: try to produce solar energy "from scratch" (including mining the material you need to build them, transporting them, etc) without fossil fuels: we don't know how to do that today. Not even mentioning that we can't store the solar energy produced during the winter to be used during the summer, and we can't control the amount of sun we get. Take Germany as an example: the developed wind and solar energy a ton, and to compensate for when there is no wind and no sun... they expended their coal mines.

Solar energy is a nice marginal tool to use where it makes sense, but it does not scale, and therefore it is not a solution. We need nuclear plants, because we know how to do it (again: we don't know how to make solar energy work at that scale). Now that's the "easy" part (assuming you manage to convince people about nuclear fission).

The hard part is the 80% that currently relies on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels have to go away (because climate change) and will go away (because they are not unlimited and we are reaching the production peaks). How do you replace them? How do you power your supertankers that carry your solar cells from China to wherever you are? With wind and solar? Etc. Everything we have today relies on fossil fuels, and it's not easy to replace with electricity (you can't make clothes out of electricity).

Let's summarise: we do not remotely have the technology today to replace fossil fuels, and we are reaching the peak of production. Therefore we will have less fossil energy, and therefore we will have less energy. Which means that we will have less to use. It's not a choice: we don't get to choose degrowth, it will just happen. It doesn't mean that there are no technical challenges: organising our society to live with less energy is a huge technical challenge. We need to make smarter technology that is actually meaningful. 5G for TikTok, sending billionaires for breakfast in space with SpaceX (or commuting through space) or driving heavy Teslas should not be part of that plan, because they all waste energy, and we won't be able to afford it.
Toyota had this problem and they recalled all the vehicles.

I move between machines a lot and prefer an online tool; I'm self-hosting Trilium Notes https://github.com/zadam/trilium ; this looks a bit cleaner but without syncing (or server-side storage) it misses a bunch of potential use cases.
There's an old joke that not many people saw the Velvet Underground when they were together, but everyone that did started a band. Likewise, there's going to be an OpenAI Mafia that breaks off and starts an entire industry based around eroding OpenAIs profits.

I've got a bet with a friend that if Uber turns a lifetime profit, he can kick me in the nuts. I'd take the same bet for OpenAI.
Not just federal. Federal is where things are most obviously broken, but the same is going on all the way down to the bottom, just slower. I live in a town of ~8k and local politics (over local issues!) is insanely partisan in a way it wasn't even 10 years ago.
there isn't, as far I know, its simply that most client routers require you to make a choice: either use hash routing, or use history API. They don't have any built-in conveinences for using both together (namely, around things like getting URL parameters)

React Router, Vue Router etc. None of them have any consideration for using them together, they either don't support it at all or make you choose.
Minor point: something about the HTML input is causing iOS’s auto correct to be disabled; making input very frustrating!
Respectfully, this is an opinion piece. It’s very agreeable, but doesn’t carry the same authority as Wikipedia, which claims less than half of India goes through secondary school. What you’re saying is true and intense and routine, but not universal nor accepted as the norm.
No company will do this because you can hire competent, non violent white hat hackers that don't need monitoring.
My point being that sometimes criminals get away with things not because we don't know who is doing what, but because we cannot make a court case. IANAL but my understanding is that the bar (no pun intended) is extremely high (no pun intended).

Some will say "It should be high" but in the realworld we need a pragmatic approach that balances difficulty of proof vs innocent people incarcerated. It's my assertion that the only system which has 0 chance of false positives is the one which incarcerates no one. So it's about finding a good minima / balance.

Welcome to the Extinction Capital of the World
All my twitter friends got invite codes through other friends pretty quickly (days or weeks), many people now have such a glut of codes that they're throwing them at whoever asks. I've got like 10 myself and nobody left to give them to

Obviously they need to drop the invite system at some point (and I am surprised it's been this long), but it's not the reason a given subcommunity didn't make the jump
I think Bluesky is legit building toward being a Twitter successor.

The big corporate accounts may have immediately fled for the safety and features of Threads, but I've noticed more and more journalists, radio personalities, columnists etc creating Bluesky accounts as they scale back on their Twitter use.

Seems like Bluesky is the grassroots favourite.
> Counterpoint

That is no counterpoint. I am talking about people, not Google Maps. Also, the standard freeway speed limit is 65 MPH AFAIK, so I-91 seems like an exception that Google Maps is not accounting for (and perhaps human drivers as well).

> You'd find yourself behind people driving the speed limit pretty often, which you will notice.

I assume you're implying that you're always driving above the speed limit and you and you're saying you don't find yourself passing people. There could be many reasons for this. You could be in one of the exceptions that I mention, or you could be driving at times and/or along roads without many people. You could also be selectively remembering things; you are much more likely to remember passing people if the incident is frustrating and less likely if it is not frustrating.
Okay, go ahead. What does a good display cost? How many Joules per megaflop does the CPU draw from the battery? The claim is a bit baseless as-is; you seem to know the answer already but how?

"Should be acceptable" is the wrong way to look at it. "Should be illegal" is the question that should be answered.

There's a subtle but important distinction between

> Alcohol is allowed, so cannabis should be allowed.

and

> Alcohol is not illegal, so cannabis should not be illegal.

Our legal system is a default-allow denylist: unless a law says you can't do something, you can. The government doesn't grant permission. It removes it.

So because the government hasn't made the case that we should ban alcohol, I think it's on them to prove that cannabis is somehow worse to justify its banning.
No? Decreased search quality will reduce the number of searches people are doing which redcues the amount of ads Google can show. Decreased searches can come from not only people switching to another search engine, but also from people using the web less. Why look up something on the web when you can watch TikTok for a few hours?
The Houthis are not "various armed groups", they're essentially the liberation government of Yemen. They control the capital city for example. I'm pretty sure if a ceasefire were ordered, they would be highly capable of stopping the targeting.
I assume it queues up requests if there are too many in flight to handle all of them at the same time, but it shows you the tokens per second (T/s) for every response, which is the number that matters (and presumably won't include the time spent in the queue).
> passage ways: doors, handles, stairs handrails, subway grab bars... All the things that propagate infections in very dense populated areas

Sterilizing those often increases disease spread. By default, they are covered with a microbial community that can outcompete things that are human pathogens.

If you sterilize it, then you’re either leaving a coating of food (mostly dead skin cells) for pathogens to eat, or a coating of nasty poisons that strip the protective barrier off people’s skins, which undermines their ability to fight off what pathogens they do end up touching.
It seems to reject all lyrics requests as well (In my experience, LLMs are good at the first one or two lines, and then just make it up as they go along, with sometimes hilarious results).
I thought I read that BlueSky was envisioned as a migration of all of twitter to a federated platform by Dorsey. Critical mass wouldn’t be a problem if that’s right.

50,900 job cuts from the last merger…

At what point are these companies just throwing themselves in the garbage for acquisitions to come out as a smaller company?

Why even merge if it means cutting so much staff and projects and output that you didn’t even grow?
A number of incarnations ago I needed to call Compuserve for some tech support. I don't remember why but I do remember being on hold forever. That was true of most tech companies back then including Microsoft.

When the support rep finally took the call he started by apologizing for the delay which I appreciated and told him I empathized with the volume of work and his day in general.

He told me they were short staffed because White Castle, also headquartered in Columbus, paid better, offered better benefits, and kept hiring Compuserve's support people away, making turnover an ongoing problem.

A few weeks later, after catching a favorite band whilst drinking a few beers, I told my friends this story standing in line at 1:30am waiting for 8 cheeseburgers, an order of onion rings, and a medium orange fountain drink.

The products each company offered couldn't have been more different yet there I was, a customer of both.
Tangentially, but also to the point,

Software Development IDEs have (optional) autocomplete;

Unstructured Medical Coding interfaces could also have autocomplete,

such that when you type `icd:` or `snomed:` it presents a search interface for that particular medical terminology / vocabulary / system of classification / categories.

More than enough in your opinion. It is perhaps your use case that 4KB works completely fine for, but this is not everyones.

We have a fairly complex set of options users can filter through (by design, and prior to its implementation, by high % of requests by users, FWIW) that need to be sharable on the GET request, they are definitely at least 12KB, likely more.
It's interesting that Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tiktok are all looking very different. But all the "open social media" seem to be cloning Twitter.

Someone else was already first to market. Launching as an alternative that is half baked seems like really strange idea to me. Maybe they were trying to gain traction during the surge in Twitter hate, but if the thing you are asking them to jump ship to is a lesser product, only a tiny minority of them are going to stay. Half baked launches into a very well established market just seems like you'd be better off taking your investor's money and having grand ol' time in Vegas.
Perhaps, but just revealing the identities of the scammers to the police goes a long way.

Police are overworked and have low case closure rates. If their incentives align with the case+evidence, a “YouTuber” (or any other non-expert investor), the additional steps to build a legal case can move pretty quick.
Do you spend the majority of your waking hours dedicated to ensuring all tracking (small-t as in habits or content enjoyment, not location tracking or government chip implants) is gone from your life? A lot of people who do get stuck in this revolving door of trash which is targeting those users. Sort of like: you spend your life trying to not be targeted, only to be targeted as the group that never wants to be targeted.

I would have liked to have seen a third group studied, that cut down on 30 minutes of social media by replacing it with another activity. The goal would be to better isolate the effects of the time saving from the effects of the reduced exposure. (Please understand I’m interested in the study design, not dismissing the finding, which has plenty of support from other studies.)

(I recognize the challenge of finding the time-spending equivalent of a placebo, too. It seems worth trying.)
The Twitter algorithm is especially bad if you're a lurker, because the only feedback you can give it is what posts you view and search for. And it has no way of distinguishing whether you're viewing something because it's outrage bait, or because it confirms your world view, or because it offers you new information that you want more of...
The number of people who own their own homes is going down. The number of unmarried people is going up. It's hard to measure, but it feels like people are more micromanaged and have less autonomy in their jobs.

There are a few sex-linked neuroscience differences linked to innate rather than learned behavior, but they tend to be very low-level skills which aren’t directly linked to high level tasks, much less performance at a job which requires many high-level skills. A slight difference in, say, verbal versus spatial memory doesn’t tell you who’s a better programmer, and in studies it’s consistently been found that top performers mix a variety of skills.

Google employs on the order of 140k people and it’s unlikely that more than a few of those are so dependent on one of those narrow skills that it would dominate hiring, much less that the bias would always run in a single direction.
The Biden administration—HHS, specifically—has recommended rescheduling marijuana as a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act.

> "If the recommendation is approved, marijuana would no longer be listed as a dangerous substance like heroin or LSD and it would reduce or potentially eliminate criminal penalties for possession. The decision rests with the DEA, which has rarely, if ever, rejected a rescheduling recommendation from HHS."

I can't speak to specific implementations of DEI or Dropbox but if my engineering department was 95% Chinese American males, I would say it isn't a diverse team.

One really interesting innovation that Bluesky supports right now is custom timelines. You can paste a URL into the app of any webserver hosting a custom timeline and have it available as a tab. This lets people make and share custom timelines using different recommendation and personalization strategies.

I'm hoping some easily-supported competition for timeline algorithms helps people figure out how to make ones that show content we really want instead of click bait and outrage bait.
