I think a few of the main points are good but part of the worldview here is pretentious and classist to an enraging degree.

Managers aren't in the position they are in because they have special skills that non-managers don't. They are often in those positions because of social class, i.e. their rich parents paid for a better college or were role models for management tracks or connections for landing executive roles etc.

Or they were promoted because they had very effective technical skills.

But putting aside all of that, the idea that AI seems like it should make most if not all of us into managers is something I have been thinking about and trying to accelerate for my life as much as possible.

The closest I have come to making this a practical reality so far is the 'aider' programming tool. I have also started on my own agent framework. It seems like the ability to put these things in a loop over a period of time with direct feedback such as executing scripts they are writing for you is where we are headed. We can already do that of course but I mean that the effectiveness will likely continue to increase as the models and agent systems are refined.

I think there is huge potential for more specialized models that can run locally and continuously without racking up OpenAI bills. The theory is that if the models don't need to know how to do literally everything, they can be smaller and still effective enough at narrow tasks.

To make this convenient we need an easy way to share more specific models and ideally a way to automatically discover and load them on the fly. So my goal is to build the WordPress of agent frameworks at least as far as the ability to very easily install plugins and agents.
Of course. Who has a vehicle without considering the opportunity cost?

There is no reliably chosen investment I know of that provides ROI anywhere close to what my vehicles facilitate, though. It is possible you could win the lottery investing elsewhere, but that is pretty high risk. The vehicles provide decent, steady returns.

But it is clear that trucks are cheaper than cars.
That assumes all deaths are logged. There are strong financial incentives for relatives to hide a death from the government if it means getting a check every month
I’m not sure of the mission specifics here but my understanding is that the novelty was the landing maneuver which puts the lander within 100m of its designated target. From that POV you could definitely argue success.
Because it means the market can't find equilibrium which leads to deadweight loss and problems like shortages. Allocation becomes inefficient and it's a matter of who can stand in line the longest to buy the bananas that are mispriced. Better to have correct prices so you don't get shortages, and rely on welfare or UBI to fill the same need.

Minimum wage is a form of price control but it's one that's quite well studied empirically to have not super negative consequences as would be predicted by basic theory, perhaps because monopsony leads to mispricing of labor so minimum wage is fixing a market failure.

Regarding wealth and land tax. Whatever your view on taxation it's a necessary evil so may as well pick the least bad taxes.

Regulations can be a positive because they correct market failure. For example tragedy of the commons. Price controls that don't correct specific well defined market failure will add dead weight loss for no benefit.

My view on this isn't fringe. It's mainstream among Keynesian economists that price controls are uniquely bad as a general rule.
I think that’s a popular sentiment, but we should all appreciate the person who answered your question as if it was good-faith, right? That’s a good instinct for somebody to have.

Went from a autocorrection of expression and lazily went back to edit into expresso.
I remember this for the Japanese language back in the early 2000s when I started learning the language. Nowadays Japanese websites mostly use UTF-8, but back in 2000 there was a mixture of JIS, Shift-JIS, and EUC content, and sometimes browsers had difficulties automatically determining the encoding, resulting in rendering “mojibake” until I had to manually specify the encoding.

Unicode is a great thing and has made computing more accessible to those who read and write in languages that don’t use the Latin alphabet.
There is no evidence that it harms sales, as the EU found out after spending over €300,000. Actually, it leads more towards the idea that overpricing hurts legal consumption far more. And lost sales are not theft anyway, neither is copying a file.

Jeans are probably top 3 worst products to shop for.

Mens sizes are literal measurements in inches, ostensibly. However when you look at the sizing chart on brand websites you realize they all have varying levels of vanity sizing - across brands, across fits within a brand, and across years within a fit.

Then you have all the confusing nomenclature for fits - skinny, slim, straight, classic, standard, relaxed, boot cut, baggy, flare, athletic, etc.. And then hybrid ones like "slim straight" or other nonsense. Finally, some brands offer different inseams/lenghts for a given waist, while others have fixed ones per waist size so you have to get them tailored after, etc.

The shopping experience for me in jeans is to trying multiple brands/fits/sizes every 5+ years, and then keep buying that exact model until it is no long available, then reset.

> same approach that gave us the Post Office scandal.

I don't follow? This is just a data quality problem. Should it be fixed? Obviously. But everyone deals with bad data. You can't fix that, you just optimize around it.

The Post Office scandal was emphatically NOT about a data quality problem. It was that they were criminally prosecuting people to cover up their data quality problem. Again, everyone has bad data.

It should be encrypted and the owner of the vehicle should be in control of the keys.
But sir, how will they protect the children, if the OS does that?
The „remaster plague“ is extremely annoying. But that's because artists re-record their music in order to have to give the record label less money.
This is an extremely half-baked take on piracy.

The music piracy community are some of the best archivists of music history we have. What.cd had a wonderfully curated and deep archive of music. I discovered so many small punk groups that would drop an LP then vanish.

Fortunately it's still relatively easy to support active bands directly via Bandcamp / physical media / tours. I cherish my personal collection, and it's all self-hosted on my NAS at home.

As for movies, half the time features don't even get a Blu-ray release. Back in the day I had a region unlocked player that would allow me to watch my favorite Japanese directors (which never got a US region release)

Streaming wise it's terrible, especially if you live outside of the US. A lot of films are not even available to "buy" via Amazon, etc. And even then services that do stream outside of the US have "4K" streams with low bitrates. It's not even funny how much better true 4k HDR remux's look when played back locally versus streaming it from HBO or something, even though it's the same source.
Someone has to post blatant cope under each video talking about the war. They'll do it for free.
I feel very strongly about this too. True art is a struggle to bring it into reality - you have to almost expand the space of possibility. It's easy to make derivative work, all the arguments about artists just interpolating other people's work are very weak - some artists do that, but good ones are truly original, even if they steal. It sounds a bit grandiose, but art can cut through the human experience to reveal some kind of truth. AI cannot do that because it does not understand the world or what it is to be human.

I think AI art is a complete misnomer and there is no net benefit of being able to generate images so easily, it just means there is more noise in the world.
And? Even if neural networks learn the same way humans do, this is not an argument against taking measures against one's art being used as training data, since there are different implications if a human learns to paint the same way as another human vs. if an AI learns to paint the same way as a human. If the two were exactly indistinguishable in their effects no one would care about AIs, not even researchers.
That such "manipulation" is even possible in the first place is evidence of the rot. The nation should stay true to its principles. It shouldn't matter what capital does, the principles should be resillient to such manipulation. Wedge issues should not actually exist. Everyone should just agree that human beings are free and therefore they obviously have the right to bear arms. Otherwise it wouldn't be america anymore.

I don't really understand why people can't agree on such things anymore but I do think it's a huge weakness in modern day america. No one is surprised when China disappears dissidents but people act like the US is above that even though the patriot act exists and can be used to deny the basic rights of US born citizens. It should have been above such things on principle.

Hi everybody, I am wondering: Where do You Buy Tickets to Football Games, concerts, theme parks and/or Guided Tours?

Is there any specific website or maybe multiple ones I could use?

Thanks in advance, have a great day!
Somewhere between the hype and the doom I think there’s a much simpler answer. We have always needed to use language to interface with computers. In early days, we spent more time learning to talk the language of a computer. As computers became more powerful, we made their language more like ours. This is just the next “higher level”.

In the near future, I think programming language will be natural language and LLMs will be a translator to lower level code. Why should we have an LLM program Python, when it could probably just write low level instructions only meant to be tested and verified but not read? Translation is what LLMs are good at, and summarization is fundamentally a translation task of verbose text into key information. Code is a translation of our ideas into machine language.

The reasoning aspects are not the strength of an LLM. Without detailed instructions to translate, they are not good at writing code.

Sounds like a good reason to continue the experiment. As long as we continue to insist on paying teachers as little as possible, it makes sense to lower the ridiculous educational requirements just to teach elementary school.

> Looks like 5% in the 50s

The data I have linked above shows infant mortality rate. I believe infant mortality is defined as “deaths during the first year of life”. I was unable to find data for child mortality in Japan. Still, I would expect it to be rather high in the 50-s Japan, and follow a similar trajectory.

Here’s some chart which shows worldwide death rate for ages ≤ 5 years: https://assets.ourworldindata.org/uploads/2013/05/global-chi... The figure was 36% in 1900, over 20% in 1950, and only 4% in modern world.
I might understand the moral reasoning here. Here's my guess:

The podcasters were weighing the cost to themselves vs. the benefit to the podcaster.

If the podcaster was poor and the listener was rich, the cost/benefit tradeoff favors paying. The listener feels happy to be supportive.

If the situation were reversed, the math swings the other way. A principled listener might pay, but wouldn't necessarily feel happy about it.

I used multiple libs to do this: codeshift, Babel, TypeScript APIs and AST transversal code, and recently AST Grep.

For what I see on the documentation, I like the simplicity and the Lisp like query language. Definitely I’ll try this tool.

If you are wandering what is my use case: when you maintain a design system it’s very useful to understand how the components are used across projects, so you can prioritize a migration or redesign. Querying using the AST is better than doing many RegExp searches that don’t take into account syntax variants.
These are open source proxies, not centralized services, so I think it's unlikely.

At least shadowsocks was well researched in the past, I'm not sure about v2ray.

Epic may not be saying it but they are doing it. Epic literally bought the company Psyonix, makers of Rocket League and then stole the game Rocket League from people who had bought it and been playing it for years. They literally unreleased the game for MacOS and Linux users. They tried to hide this theft by letting linux and mac users still start the game and look at the menu interface. But playing the game itself no longer works.

Epic is at the forefront of revoking ownership, not Ubisoft.
There are platforms other than windows. Electron is one of the simpler ways to get software released on multiple operating systems without having to support different builds and architectures.
From the opening of the "Vertical Joins" section:

> Similar to horizontal joins, there are many use cases for joining data horizontally, also called appending data.

Shouldn't this read "joining data vertically"? This seems like a typo.
> The only thing the argument relies upon is whether the fundamental structure of numbers allows for defining a bijection.

That there is no bijection must be the conclusion, not an assumption, otherwise the argument would simply be question begging. If you can't define a new diagonal number in the first place, you don't have an argument why you can't have a bijection.

With finitism it doesn't seem like you can define a diagonal number, because then Cantor's infinite table is merely potentially infinite in width and height. For the diagonal to be finished, the table has to be at least as wide as it is tall. But if you list numbers by their lexicographic order, the list grows much faster in height than in width. For base 10, for n columns (digits), you get 10^n rows (numbers). Then you can't ever finish a diagonal that isn't on the list. The number of digits doesn't grow fast enough to cover the entire list. You don't get the diagonal in the limit.

Now if you assume infinitism, you can simply declare that the height and width of the list is the same (or even that the width is larger), and therefore the diagonal can be constructed. But that's not a convincing assumption for a finitist (or ultrafinitist).

Physical copies (Blu-rays especially) are heavily region locked. A Japanese region coded Blu-ray won't play on an EU coded player, unless you're able to flash the firmware to unlock it. And a lot of Japanese movies, especially classic films, never get a Europe release.

> psychologically unhelpful to web creators.

What does that mean?
A lot of people around me roll their eyes at the things I do to actively avoid surveillance. If I walk into a relative's house and they have a fscking camera pointed at me, which believe it or not is usually the case, I will complain about it, turn around, and walk back out of the house. If they have a device under the control of a third party that has a microphone on it, I will shut down any conversation that I wouldn't want said third party listening to.

This is beyond what I do with my own personal devices.

I know this must make me seem rude or anti-social in many cases, but I really don't know how to get the message across about what's happened along with its very real impact.

Not long ago the partner of a relative of mine decided to get drunk when the relative was visiting me. Because they were drunk they weren't answering their phone, my relative got themself all worked up about it. They called the alarm company and talked to what sounded like some 19 year old kid who said, "I see a naked person walking around in the living room on your video feed." Somehow my relative was actually okay with this. It didn't occur to them that maybe they probably didn't want random kids staring at them naked in their own living rooms, which is exactly what was happening at that very moment.

I gave an ultimatum that I would never visit their house again so long as they had those cameras installed. Only then did my relative remove them. I couldn't believe that they actually seemed okay with the fact that this kid was looking at their naked partner in their own living room.

Now I guess I have to have a new rule: Do not get in vehicles that spy on you. The trouble at this point is that it may become more and more difficult to tell for sure which vehicles do that and which don't. There is an increasingly lengthening list of reasons why I would never want to be in a Tesla specifically, so that's an easy one to avoid, but many other car manufacturers at the very least track your location all the time. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them also uploaded video and audio feeds from surveillance devices integrated in the vehicle, right along with your location telemetry.
How, technically, can they block wire guard? It can operate as pure UDP on any port. Are we referring to wireguard vendors like tailscale here?

And if he's choosing unoptimised, that's fine. After all, you can tell a lot about the general case that way and a surprisingly large volume of installations, whether they should be or not, are in fact exactly that (with a little bit of extra security thrown in). So it's more relevant than it might appear.

Singapore as a British port city on a small island was never a third world country. Before WWII it was already known as a major leisure, high life spot (as evident by Verinsky's 1931 "Magnolia"). It was surrounded by 3rd world countries like an American base may be surrounded by middle eastern shacks, but it is very different from them. If that base was to gain independence it would retain the QoL.

It doesn’t seem fair to blame the populace that has been misinformed by their government. VPNs have been one of the best ways to hear external points of view and get more accurate information. How are they supposed to escape the boil and improve their lot if the government puts a lid on the pot and locks it? The VPN might be the only chance for them to know what’s actually happening in Ukraine and gain any sympathy.

And don’t be too quick to assume more authoritarian government isn’t coming for you. The more successful they are at this, the more likely it is to spread. I’m nervous because our water is definitely getting warmer in the US, and our next regime change might love to follow Russia and China’s examples on crowd control.
