It should not have surprised anybody that publicly run models would be censored. OpenAI has a mission that they are not keeping secret at all.

Apart from that, censoring what one's web service can be used for is a very common CYA strategy to avoid damage to the brand and not causing governments to push through overtly harsh laws.

Differently from social networks, model censoring does not even remotely restrict anyones constitutional rights. And who really wants to run big uncensored models can just use open source ones (which are approaching GPT 3.5 performance) and run them on 2nd hand GPUs from ebay since for LLMs bulk VRAM is more important than raw processing speed.
I struggle with the same thing. I have tried several times to get seen thinking it would be an easy process and have ended up missing them or procrastinating scheduling. I don't want to change who I am while at the same time I don't want me holding me back anymore. I am truly hoping 2024 is the year where I actually give it a try.

For what it is worth I found a lot of comfort in the audio book version of "Driven to Distraction". Somehow listening to others struggle made me feel not alone in the battle with one's mind.

Titles are not about working together or what you get done day-to-day. They are about where you fit in HR's compensation hierarchy. So sure, you can choose new words for it, that would work fine. But it doesn't change that titles are about compensation, not competence.

Topics, books, projects, and lots of automations around date-based tagging.

E.g. I generate daily notes “daily/2023-12-27” and have macros to create e.g. meeting notes that are already tagged to [[2023-12-27]] as well as [[2023 Month 12]], [[2023 Week 52]]. Every note is prepended with its date, so [[2023-12-27 hh:mm - Book - Thinking in Systems]]
Chicago was one of the places restricted covenants were first struck down in the US, so the city political machine used a combination of zoning & public works (notably highway construction & public housing) to keep the city segregated and to limit the political power of Black people.

Whether or not you have ADHD, amphetamines will improve your life if you measure quality by how much you get done.

So I think the real question is: Are you prevented from functioning according to your expectations without daily amphetamine use, or not? And do you even see that as a problem?

I've used various (legal) amphetamines and modafinil variants for years, and they always made me very productive and happy, because I like getting things done. They also make me very high-energy.

Disclaimers:

- Amphetamines are physically addictive
- Being productive is psychologically addictive
- Take time off, or the productivity effect will even out, just like too much coffee.
> all dynamic languages compromise on execution speed

Not all, some of them bring a JIT compiler, or several, in the box, reducing the need to reach out to compiled languages as step zero on optimizations.

Some of them even support AOT compilation, alongside low level systems programming, like BASIC, Lisp, Scheme or Dylan.
From the article:

No. Doing one thing well and combining things is good.

The freedesktop parody is bad. It is a solution looking for a problem. Why do i need d-bus and gnome-keyring to authenticate an authenticated user ?
Well, if you try a lot of stuff, and stop early.. You have more chance of success.. "put your eggs in one basket" kind a thing
A line (which is really a rectangle in this case).
Perfectly sane for anyone used to AOT compiled languages.

Mastodon is a good example. Facebook could become less opaque by revealing their decision-making process for what posts are shown/suppressed, making analyses like the one linked unnecessary. It’s a bad sign when third parties are necessary to explain which content is shown and hidden on a platform.

People have figured out how to run languages like LISP on conventional superscalar and pipelined processors with great performance. Common LISP was designed with this in mind.
By 'government' do you mean banks and large industrial concerns (like the "industry" in "military-industrial complex")? The latter are where all the big iron and massive compute power has always been.

If course, from a certain point of view, they're many of the same people and money.
I'm a pretty middling writer, I wasn't sure how best to describe this concept. Again, this is from secondary anecdotes, I'm rephrasing something I was told by a friend.

If I were to reach for examples, I might say this human glow is fostered when holding your brother's baby for the first time, or watching the sunrise after a morning hike, or making a speech at a cousin's wedding. It's rewarding and fulfilling in a way entirely compartmentalized from the feeling stimulants provide.

My understanding is that stims tend to make us prioritize activities which are more artificially rewarding. Writing code, playing Dota, arguing online - all of these things feel great while on stims, but are spiritually empty in a way that I find difficult to explain to people who are already using.

That's the reason that despite an ADHD diagnosis in my youth I never picked up the stuff. Life is so short and almost none of its best parts are experienced behind the computer.

Messaging between an iPhone (with iMessage) and a dumb phone (with SMS) absolutely works, but Apple has no interest in showing you how to get out of the iMessage bubble (pun intended) once you're in. They want to pull you into their ecosystem because that makes them money but if you want out, you're on your own. Lots of companies behave like that, only consumer protection laws could force them to change.
First paragraph is spot on. But it’s a subscription based app less than $5 and the user keeps all the interest. We will never sell information, I hate that stuff.

Our goal is to have people stick to the money they have and to stop overspending. Additionally, we want to give new credit card users a chance to get used to having a credit card. Credit cards are good, if you spend them like a debit card.

I looked it up this morning. The cities own map has accurate data for my area. They get around the color issue by overlaying the actual zoning code number over the zones.
Multitude of customers as a “boss” is a much different situation than having one boss. So much that the analogy breaks up.

A customer firing you might affect 2% of your income. A real boss firing you will cut 100% of your income.

Also, if you are the founder and CEO of a startup you have to answer to the board and investors, but there is much less power imbalance. Sometimes a CEO being fired is financially better than continuing to work. Think of the founder of WeWork.

“You always have a boss” is a bland phrase that doesn’t account for all the very important nuances of the matter.

Definitely not an “illusion”. There are very practical differences between the different types of bosses.
I can't tell what that involves but, for instance, the two GUI things I typically use with SSH are Emacs (openssh) and x2go (libssh), and they don't do that. Surely you want the agent anyway.
> Better technology can help countries to be more productive and less dependent on other countries. This would reduce tensions between countries and consequently reduce armed conflicts.

Naive. Russia started a war once they became less dependent on other countries. Now they are using modern tech like cryptocurrency to circumvent sanctions.
That seems likely that you didn’t offer enough in barter for them to satisfy their obligations to others, in other words not that “bartering for land can’t work” but rather “bartering for land doesn’t work if the goods offered for land is too low”.

> He did not mention at all that the proportion of what he was talking about was essentially irrelevant unless you are an electronics board designer.

If you want to get that detailed most people would freak at conventional vs electron flow. The + wire is actually where the negative electrons are emitted. But as electricity was developed people didn't know that but it all works out so it was left as is. For physics or any other scientific experiments electron flow is used.

Even the term "negative" is a can of worms it could have been called green or red or yellow not "negative". It comes from Ben Franklin and accounting terms.
If those hours are in the past, sure. All jokes aside, you’d be selling an asset, not the time you already put into it.

There was a recent video on Audit the Audit, which examines legal issues related to police interactions, in which a woman demonstrates clanging:

https://youtu.be/bXOR7krog1U?si=kZDr9Y63018ltU22

As you may observe, the woman uses mostly rhyming phrases when interacting with the police officer, almost as if she is freestyle rapping or trying to do beat poetry. But the content of her speech is coherent in some moments and incoherent in others.
The way I thought about it, you have to roll around the larger one and you have to roll around yourself (+1). So if they are two same size circles, it's 1 for the other and 1 for yourself. If the other one has 3 times bigger radius, it is 3 for the bigger one and 1 for yourself. Etc.

Not sure if it is mathematically accurate but it seemed to make sense to me.

This is a strange lawsuit.

It seems like a gap in the law/regulation if a former owner (in this case, the pre-Elon Twitter management) can make verbal pronouncements that the new owner is beholden to, without a paper trail. With that said, the complaint does state that promises were made post-acquisition, although this is only mentioned once.

It seems even more puzzling to enforce this on non-profitable private companies. The precedent that would be set here would severely undermine the ability of a private company to operate if it came in far under revenue targets, and was beholden to pay out bonuses to employees.

It's EVEN more puzzling that Twitter, a Delaware corp owned by X, a Nevada corp, is being sued by an employee based in Texas, under California law.
>When you can compare the pricing of Turbo to YouTube Premium, which is the better value?

depends on what you watch. Some people are very into streams and barely watch youtube, so it's not even a comparison. I'm the opposite and can catch maybe one stream live a month.

>In the end what has actually happened is we watch less.

increase in price always leads to a lower demand. I'm sure they took that into account before the price hike.
I've been following this developer for some time. They didn't just create the GBA game shown in the article in Nim, they also created the Nim bindings to target the GBA. I've been meaning to make time and try it out for myself, and this might be just enough insight to motivate me to start.
'Attacked' is a bit subjective, but there are certainly trigger topics that attract large numbers of strongly right-leaning posters. I won't list these topics as they are basically exactly the 'culture wars' topics that you'd expect.

I do personally find HN quite uncomfortable when discussion strays into social issues. I obviously don't feel that unwelcome here as I've been here since 2009. But there is a lot of bottled-up hostility to certain groups of people that can be released when the discussion takes a certain turn. And my subjective perception is that this has got much worse over the past decade.

Extremist comments usually get flagged eventually, but lots of people have already read them by the time that happens, and you can post outrageous things here without actually getting your account banned. It's galling to be a member of group X, see an unambiguously hateful comment about group X, and then see this same account continuing to post for years afterwards.

> totalling only $5 million

Neither the article, nor the court document supports that. They both state that it exceeds $5 million. This affects the jurisdiction:

> This Court has jurisdiction over this proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(2). Plaintiff and Defendants are citizens of different states, and the matter in controversy for the class exceeds $5 million.
My Wayland performance experience was that it broke Nvidia at a time when Nvidia was supposed to be working. The reason it didn't work was down in the weeds of this version of Mesa and that version of Nvidia, both of which were recent, and the bottom line was that X performance still exceeded Wayland's.

Security has always been a hard sell to end users because the costs are immediate and tangible while the benefits are in the future.
This take sounds very bitter and I disagree.

I know someone in the UK who has been in a very poor situation and told them they can make a bit of money by building a small side project and charging for it.

About 6 months later, I caught up with them and they made over £700,000+ by just learning to code, taking advice from others, discipline, and turning around their dire and desperate current situation they really wanted to get out of.

Depending on the situation it actually changes lives.
“A boot stomping on a human face, forever.”
It’s really hard to change project and recognize the blurredd line between “it doesn’t work” and “I didn’t put enough effort into it”.

My first product worked, but very average. My second project worked excellently, there was quasi-immediate traction. That second thing was resolving an actual business issue.

It’s stagnating now. It’s probably because, even though I don’t feel it, I’m bored (it’s been 7 years). I have difficulty waking up in the morning.

You need to innovate. If not just for your brain and sanity, the market didn’t recognize your first product. Evaluate whether you should trust the sign that the market gives you.

Launch a second product.

> If we had asked programmers in 1991 what the point of Python was, the responses would have probably been similar to the parent comment, and look at where it is now.

I disagree, because back in 91 Guido released some rationale along with the language: https://www.tuhs.org/Usenet/alt.sources/1991-February/001749...

> This is Python, an extensible interpreted programming language that
combines remarkable power with very clear syntax.

> This is version 0.9 (the first beta release), patchlevel 1.

> Python can be used instead of shell, Awk or Perl scripts, to write
prototypes of real applications, or as an extension language of large
systems, you name it. There are built-in modules that interface to
the operating system and to various window systems: X11, the Mac
window system (you need STDWIN for these two), and Silicon Graphics'
GL library. It runs on most modern versions of UNIX, on the Mac, and
I wouldn't be surprised if it ran on MS-DOS unchanged. I developed it
mostly on an SGI IRIS workstation (using IRIX 3.1 and 3.2) and on the
Mac, but have tested it also on SunOS (4.1) and BSD 4.3 (tahoe).

> Building and installing Python is easy (but do read the Makefile).
A UNIX style manual page and extensive documentation (in LaTeX format)
are provided. (In the beta release, the documentation is still under
development.)

etc. Docs/tutorials were later fleshed out even more but always had some rationale: https://docs.python.org/release/1.4/tut/node4.html

Clojure has an explicit rationale page: https://clojure.org/about/rationale

If the authors don't even make a value proposition themselves, I assume the language is a learning exercise and won't take it seriously. Also not really worth critiquing things I don't like about it. Indeed, I see on the introduction:

> It started as a toy language following the excellent book Crafting Interpreters by Robert Nystrom.

Nothing wrong with that! Sometimes the value is mainly for the author, and that's great. Probably not going to contribute any new ideas though.
