> Sam Altman was fired and rehired as CEO of ChatGPT owner OpenAI in the span of a week, and though the reason for his ousting remains unclear, it's undeniable his influence and reputation helped him win back his seat at the head of OpenAI's table.

His excellent interpersonal skills helped him get reinstated. But wait, wouldn't someone with such great skills not be ousted in the first place?

It's still a notable bit of centralization present in the protocol - from the documentation presented, it's obvious that moreso than any other "node" in the software, if the relay breaks, that entire chunk of the network stops working. A PDS, a labeler or a feed generator vanishing means very little for the network on the whole, while the relay vanishing causes everything to fall apart.

Similarly, the fact Bluesky is offering a PDS implementation for self-hosting[0] but not a relay[1] tells me that hosting a relay is more than a non-trivial matter, although I'd love to be proven wrong there.

Unpacking Elixir: Phoenix
I just noticed that, thanks! Adjusted the tone a slight amount to be a bit more direct.
Lately, whilst playing Zelda TotK (works for BotW as well), I was thinking that a good test to see if you have AGI would be letting it solve all the shrines. They require real world knowledge, sometimes rather "deep" logic and the ability to use previously unseen capabilities. Of course the AGI should not be able to have a million tries at it, RL style. Just use the "shrine test" as a regular test set. I believe one would have a pretty nice virtual proxy for a general intelligence test.

From the article, I find it strange that AGI often de facto implies "super intelligence". It should be 2 distinct concepts. I find that GPT-4 is close to a general intelligence, but far from a super intelligence. Succeeding at just general intelligence would be amazing, but I don't believe it means super intelligence is just a step away.

This also brings me to a point I don't see discussed a lot which is simulation (NOT in "we live in a simulation" sense). Let's say I have AGI, it passes the above mentioned shrine test, or any other accepted test. Now I'd like to tell it "find a way to travel faster than light" for example. The AGI would first be limited by our current knowledge, but could potentially find a new way. In order to find a new way it would probably need to conduct experiments and adjust its knowledge based on these experiments. If the AGI cannot run on a good enough simulation, then what it can discover will be rather limited, at least time-wise most likely quality wise. I'm thinking this falls back to Wolfram's computational irreducibility. Even if we managed a super general intelligence, it will be limited by physics of the world we live in sooner rather than later.
This is similar to oral math exams in Danish high school.

The main differences being that the teacher submits the curriculum, and the student draws 1 topic on the day of the exam and is given something like 20 minutes to prepare between drawing and presentation. All submitted topics are known to the student, through the submitted curriculum, which has all been taught throughout the year(s).

Grade is dependent on how well you do the proof related to the topic and how well you manage to reference related topics in the curriculum.
Personally I don't really see the point of ownership. If I can listen to the music I'm good, I don't need to "own" a copy.

I'm probably an outlier, I don't really see the point of collecting things in general. Seems strange to me to have a hobby that consists of literally just buying things.

> iOS products like 1Blocker work as well in practice

iOS content blockers don't work in any browser except Safari due to Apple's restrictions, which limits Firefox's usefulness and hurts Firefox adoption on iOS in an anticompetitive way. That is one of the reasons Apple should not restrict Firefox from implementing extensions on iOS. There is no reasonable justification for limiting browser extensions to Safari on iOS.

> I’m under the impression that Firefox on Android only supports a tiny percentage of Firefox extensions.

Firefox for Android can install every Firefox extension from addons.mozilla.org as of December 2023. Turn on desktop mode on addons.mozilla.org to see all of the options. Also, the beta channel of Firefox for Android can sideload any extension through the settings and this feature is on track to make it to the stable release.
Amazing what you can do with a very simple idea. But very much a first-mover case, I'd argue.
It is true, tools will be misused, banning already happened to knifes and scissors in narrow or broader context for example. Will see how this one will be regulated, if will be at all.

I do see your point, but it seems to me that you're trying to explain why capitalism isn't the problem.

I don't think this is true.

Think about the system you're describing. It makes a lot more sense until you introduce the concept of greed.

These companies aren't going to a mass market instead of selling to smaller rich audiences. They're selling to the mass market as well.

And good riddance, there was never a good reason for using www. in the first place and with SRV records to direct other services to different IPs if needed it makes even less sense.
I have a hard time telling whether you are being sarcastic here.

It's one thing to block ads when they have been loaded into your web browser that is in your room (completely morally and ethically fine). It's a completely different thing to go into someone elses space and start making decisions about what is or isn't running on a tv there.

I like ads as little as you so what I can do is just boycott that restaurant or bar entirely or ask the staff to turn it off. I think it's part of being a well adjusted adult to know what you want or don't want and go about it in a reasonable way (such as asking staff). It's immature though to just do that forcibly.

It is however not my duty to teach you that, so let's leave it at that.
OpenID faced the problem of an underdefined spec, causing every OpenID provider to do things just different enough for them to not be portable with one another.

Which is why OID withered away in favor of just implementing the biggest social media login used by your audience (Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook and if your audience includes gamers, Steam) and relying on that instead.
If you also integrate Soundcloud, this could be the One-Stop-Shop for all music needs. I've had a Spotify Premium subscription for almost 10 years now, but whenever a song is not available there and it's only on YouTube I wish there was a way to integrate them.

Thing is, otabdeveloper4 wrote "The British tried to expand across the Bering Strait during the Crimean War".

None of those links mention anything about British expansion across the Bering Strait nor anything within 2,000 km of the Bering Strait.

Your first link said nothing about British territorial expansion from Canada's west, saying only "The primary concern of the Anglo-French allies was that cruisers of the Russian Siberian flotilla would operate against British and French trade in the area".

All of your links appear to be false positives which show up because the British were involved in the Siege of Petropavlovsk as part of the Pacific theater of the Crimean War, because Petropavlovsk was founded in 1740 during Vitus Bering's second Kamchatka expedition, and because that's the Bering that the Bering Strait is named after.

I love the idea, but as far as I know, there's nothing stopping an airline from changing the plane "last minute" right before the flight. Then you have to make a decision at the gate whether you want to turn around a go back home (or hotel) after spending hours getting to the airport, going through security, and waiting at the gate.

Periodical reminder that copyright and GPL do not talk about linking.

At all.

Even taking contractual position instead of copyright doesn't change the part where it does not matter nothing regarding whether you link or not with GPLed code that is established by the text of the GPL.

What's important, and what RMS used to bully projects in the past into changing licenses, is whether the work would be considered derivative - as in, would it exist without inclusiom of GPLed code? (Very simplified depiction - in practice that's something a court would have to decide).

At the same time it means that if you use a GPLed library that just implements an otherwise existing interface and it's completely conceivable that your code isn't derived from it, then it doesn't matter that you linked. But it can also mean that just separating with a network connection also isn't enough to break derivative-ness.

Tech in Plain Sight: Windshield Frit
Interesting to see the footnote at the end about enterprise/consortium blockchain systems. I designed one of the more popular one of those. If you've got questions Paul feel free to email me.

Naturally I'm very biased, but I wouldn't say they were all developed merely so companies could have a blockchain strategy. Certainly just keeping up with the Joneses was a motivation for some of the middle/upper executives who sponsored some of the apps built on those platforms, just like it is for AI now, and was for XML back in the day. But there were also actual real business problems worked out in detail, with people who genuinely wanted to solve them and saw a chance to use blockchain hype as a Schelling point to coordinate large numbers of companies to collaborate better. And real apps have been developed and shipped on these, that provide at business value.

It'd probably be interesting to write about some of these systems from a purely technical perspective, as a decentralised database engine, because the underlying protocols and designs are pretty interesting and (at least in Corda's case) quite powerful too.
that's actually hilarious!
If you deploy your main branch on every commit, there is no "development phase". You should deploy more frequently and work on smaller changes. So when your QA (or a user, or a monitoring alert) finds a bug, you are pretty sure that the bug was introduced recently.
Aizenberg55 seems like a disinfo propagandist shill. No different than any other shill, Gazan or Russian or German.

For instance, Aizenberg55 discounts the fact that over 10,000 bombs were dropped in the first 10 days, which resulted in higher casualties than in the later stages of the war, with fragile lives that of infants and young kids dying of shock and fear. It is also easier to count the fatalities when an entire building is reduced to rubble and everyone in it is either buried or dead. You don't need archaeologists and nuclear scientists to count.

> What do you think of their methods?

Their methods have been known to be robust. IDF, in the past wars, have arrived at similar numbers to those presented by the Gazans.

> One of the most obvious examples of a prior discrepancy.

Just like the discrepancy of 40 beheaded babies? Or the murder of a fictional Holocaust survivor? https://twitter.com/yairbrill/status/1748836323908346359 Applying your own logic, why do you even trust IDF or Zaka, then?

> Paul Graham has one standard...

- First, people are allowed to be wrong and change their minds when presented with facts. There is no need to hold them to prior beliefs and beat them for it forever.

- Second, if you don't personally know Paul Graham, I doubt you're in a position to judge whether he's willfully accepting ordinary claims just because he's a closet anti-semite, when the fact is, a wide number of independent institutions also accept those claims.
What a strange thing to say. Come on, you must have done at least something small as a selfless act. At least something does has not inconvenienced you very much. We do this all the time and not just to feel better about ourselves.
Wow. The reviewer/writer manages to completely miss some of Graeber's key points.

The reviewer writes "That some questions about inequality are obscure or ill-framed does not indicate that inequality of wealth is not a fundamental social problem."

Graeber's point about inequality is that, as a rights concept, it's impossible to define, and also not a good representation of how good communities work.

The reviewer is bending Graeber's words to suit his own points (and publications!). "Inequality of wealth" is a redundant misconception for Graeber, since wealth == inequality.

Graeber goes: Look! Other societies have existed and been stable! Other societies have successfully experimented with their social organization, and done without many of the things we today see as necessary evils!

And he certainly shows a lot of (to me) convincing evidence that yes, people in the past were more politically conscious (in practice at least) than we give them credit for. I say in practice, because usually we don't know what their deliberations were
like.

But the big two question then become:

1. How did we then fall into the trap of "TINO" thinking in the first place? Who stole our belief that things could be different, and how on earth did they manage to pull that heist off? and

2. Why did so many large societies drift into all too similar, dismal ways of organizations? With e.g. autocratic rulers who murder the whole extended families of advisors who fall out of favour?

From my perspective, the biggest barrier to entry for federated services right now is the fact that right up front, before you've ever even used the network, you have to make this massive decision with no real information to base the decision off of: namely which server to use.

That's the main reason I'm not on it personally: It feels lame to just join the biggest instance, but none of the smaller instances really seem to "click", and I'm not really so keen that I want to run my own instance.

Having One Obvious Choice to join to begin with is the best thing federated services can do to encourage wider adoption.

Hmm. There are "plenty" of Rust jobs outside of crypto stuff. They are:

- Your typical service driven stuff (aka full-stack/backend/microservice et. al)

- Tons and tons of opensource projects from AWS (investing), Microsoft (investing) and Google (yes, investing) to name a few off the top of my head.

- Startups have so to speak started embracing Rust https://corrode.dev/podcast/

- Embedded Systems <- C/C++/ASM's bread and butter traditionally.

- Rust ecosystem is maturing faster than anything I have seen in the past (ok, maybe Go's ecosystem was fast as well).

Regarding AI and ML stuffs: While I do agree that chasing such hype may be intangible in the very short to short time frame. No doubt, the AI winter may follow a typical curve and follow up with a AI "summer". _Every_ major technology in the past 20-30 years has followed a V curve. AI/ML probably won't be an exception.

I understand that the OP may have hobbies outside of "learning" but making a dedicated time outside of it will yield by leaps and bounds. Always be learning (make time for it) - that's the gist in short without going into the nitty gritties.

You could just build a stabilizer system and stand really still for 1 second. Then expose for a longer time. Photography is Apertrue, ISO, and exposure time. This will gather enough light to do a proper exposure even in a dimm lit venue. Anything darker and every viewer will have a hard time seeing the private art.
ANother thing would be to crank up the ISO and denoise it later. Its much more lossy but with this you could get lower exposure times.
It sounds reasonable to me. If others are making groups based on characteristics opposing the dominant strand of the population but the dominant strand is not making any exclusionary group like the minorities are, then the minorities may have two places to belong (the total group everyone shares and their own in-group) while the dominant strand only has one group, with no in-group.

It's less of a private key and more a random per-remote prng seed that gets set both on the remote and the door controller when they are paired. When you press the button, remote increments its sequence number and send this number, its ID and a hash of all that and the seed to the controller. Controller checks the hash, then checks that seq number is more than last seen for this remote and opens the door. This protects against replay attacks and fairly uncomplicated to implement.
