This is a poor argument. Don't murder is a good idea for a law even if it doesn't stop everyone. Most apps do implement channels correctly, because if they don't they get uninstalled.

I've also been happy with my career. I've only had one scummy feature handed to me my first week at a job. I called out the product manager for it during a full engineering team meeting, asking him if he thought our customers were stupid, and earned a lot of good will with the other engineers for calling him on his shit. He was fired within the year, I'm still on the team, and that implementation is now gone.
Yeah? That's probably not a segment of the market I play much, then. What are some good ones from the AAAs that aren't just Call of Duty sequels or Ubi games?

I think that just came down to capital requirement thresholds. Some circumstances required the collective funding because the payoff window was so long.

Before DHTML JavaScript had limited ability to manipulate DOM elements after the page had loaded. JavaScript could happily edit the document (document.write) during the page load but not afterwards. If you wanted some output of a JavaScript displayed after the page load you had to put the output inside form elements or do an alert. You also could manipulate some parts of the browser with the navigator object and change the status and title.

Dynamic HTML was dynamic because the DOM could be manipulated after the page was loaded. JavaScript could directly manipulate DOM elements or even add and remove elements.
That's an incredible way of thinking about it. I would say that is the most creditable way of dealing with the question of consciousness as it would apply to collective behavior, which is to say, it is a clear way of stating the difference between what those behaviors are, and how far removed they are from actual consciousness, without dismissing the "interestingness" of the behavior.

I would suspect though, that in our case it may have been something like centralized "nerve cluster" getting more and more complicated over time rather than anything that is in any sense a hive, although that is a very imaginative idea.

Deep South here as well. This place absolutely sucks for exploring. Dangerous heat, mosquitos galore, "nature trails" often have pictures of hunters on government sites. I need to freaking leave.
The experience is internal, the body (the limb that's missing) is external to the experience. The confabulatory experience of "I don't want to move" is an internal experience and cannot itself be an illusion, it's simply an incorrect assessment of the actual state of the body.

>>I have reasonably fast machines, so we're not talking about the difference between 5ms typing lag and 500ms, but it's still pretty surprising.

I really envy people who can sense passage of time between intervals of 5 milliseconds and 500 milliseconds.

My sensibility begins over a second. And to be honest even that is least of my issues. Same with start up time, I restart the IDE only once in a few days. I thinking spending a second or two extra for it is any where in the ball park of what I would call wasting time.

I've started my adult life with a conscious decision that I'd start my travels by visiting things close to home; my own province and my own country. There's so much beauty in Québec that most people don't know about: white sand beaches, breathtaking mountain ranges, quaint little villages, bustling downtowns, etc. At the height of the pandemic, we were in Tadoussac and my daughters were looking at a starfish in a tidal pool, and we heard someone say "I didn't know we had that in Québec".

Since then, I've traveled a bit further, but always with "slow" transportation: First by car, but more recently on my sailboat. Last year we went to the Bahamas via Nova Scotia and the US East coast, and it only made me appreciate home even more. I never realized how much I loved winter until I skipped one!

But yeah, picking a spot to live is an important step; one which I took at about 25. I'm now slowly realizing that all my interests (sailing, snowboarding) would probably be better served somewhere else, but I don't really want to start over. I live in a (very) small town where we all know each other, but it's very welcoming and there's a lot of "immigrants", so you don't have to have been born there to integrate.
>So if you don’t feel like having the disappointment of an intriguing concept that you’ll never find the resolution for, maybe skip it.

Life is full of unresolved resolutions. If you would always skip them then
Quick question regarding DYI radars. What's the legality of it? I would assume the radar frequency bands are reserved (I could not find much information on this with a quick google search). I wouldn't want to get a visit from the FCC because my hobby project is interfering with the nearby airport. In the project you linked he is using WiFi bands, but they come with their own restrictions (the very low power limits immediately comes to mind).
Well, to me the "unless..." is doing some heavy lifting. I run under electric pylons nearly every day (there is a soft surface trail under the power lines). Sure, they're man-made, represent civilization, or whatever. But they're there, and that's part of the adventure, too. The pylons are in a different setting nearly every day, be it fog or sun, or just the usual PNW drizzle. And really, how often have you taken a good look at those pylons? How often are you even near them? How they're built, how would you put one together, how heavy are those power lines? Anyone with an engineering mindset could ponder those pylons for quite a while.

And despite all of that "civilization", I see deer, coyotes, and a beer on very rare occasions. Despite using that trail for over twenty years, it's a new adventure every time I go down it.
That’s almost but not actually waiting. Picking the nest token for a context window is something GPT-4 is quite good at. But the underlying approach has some real limitations which I discussed in response to your other comment.

Using 1 hour instead of 10 seconds and then list every Current Time incrementing by .01 seconds and you overflow the context window. The solution isn’t to have a larger context window, the solution is to have an internal representation independent of that context window.

The issue is you can’t train a system to use that internal memory by simply giving it a large corpus of text examples. The text lacks the internal representation associated with its creation.

Shadowstats is complete garbage. Their "alternative measurement" of prices is to take the BLS numbers and add 3.5% to it. That is it. See "The [$175] subscription price of hyperinflation-predicting ShadowStats hasn't changed in 8 years"[0] from 2015. In 2024 it is still $175, so make that 17 years.

If you want an actual alternative to BLS numbers, there is the https://thebillionpricesproject.com/ from MIT.

Such API allows showing an offline state immediately, instead of after some timeout. Online-checking request timeout unfortunately needs to be multiple seconds long, because bad cases of packet loss can add seconds of delay, and there's DNS, TCP, and HTTP handshake to perform.

There are also some horribly broken networks that get connections stuck and never time out (in browsers too), e.g. TCP-accelerating middleboxes will speculatively accept a TCP connection, and then may blackhole everything else due to a failure upstream. That will look like waiting for a response from the server, forever.

I love the "Tesla is not a car company" defense. Makes everything possible. Tesla is actually an autonomous robot company. Tesla is actually a robotaxi company. Tesla is actually an energy storage company.

You obviously have no experience with non-profit governance. OpenAI is organized as a public charity which is required to have an independent board. Due to people leaving the board, they were down to six members, three independent directors plus Sam and two of his employees. They had been struggling to add more board members because Sam and the independent directors couldn't agree on who to add. Then Sam concocted an excuse to remove one of the independent directors and lied to board members about his discussions with other board members.

I think they had no choice at that point but to fire Sam and remove him from the board. When that turned into a shitshow and they faced personal threats, they resigned to let a new board figure out a way out of this mess.

Also, I am not surprised the new board isn't being completely open because they are still probably trying to figure out how to fix their governance problems.
Thanks for calling this out. Revocations are not currently supported by the public API; we made a decision early in the MVP planning process to exclude them for complexity reasons.

(This is consistent with Go's crypto/x509, which does not do revocation checking as part of the `Verify` API.)
"Was"?
Unfortunately, Boeing gone today won't make muchbissue other than a blip of inconvenience for maybe 3-5 years. Airbus will easily pick up the slack. What scares the western world is Russia and especially China will flourish. Take EVs, we all praise Tesla and mock slowmo Toyota, meanwhile BYD just overtook Tesla in Dec 2023 making Tesla on path to be Solyndra for Biden. I already put money to China aviation industry stocks for the long haul.
In 1985 (or so) I got a “WARP 20” internal SCSI hard drive for my original Mac 512k.

Of course there are no internal expansion connectors at all on an original Mac. Steve didn’t want the purity of the hermetically sealed machine to be sullied.

This thing came with a custom-made tool to get the case open (a long-shafted Torx driver with a flat paddle welded to it to pry the case apart). Once there, you removed the ROM chips, placed them in a little daughterboard, and inserted that into the ROM sockets. That’s how they got access to the CPU bus. There was a SCSI controller and some address decoding on the board that attached to the drive over a ribbon cable.

They wrote a custom driver to talk to the controller, and even gave out the source code. Fortunately Apple had just released the first version of HFS for the 800k floppy disks, so to the OS this looked like a giant (20MB) floppy.
Ah - dare I say, "free"?
An old hub (not switch) does exactly that: all traffic forwarded down each port and I can see what everyone was doing. Even with a switch, a misbehaving device can cause all sorts of havoc on an Ethernet network. 802.1X is supposed to provide port security but isn't used often. Anyone could plug into a wall port and get access to a corporate network.

Just a few days ago I started working on a similar project, but one where you can upload via a UI.

After talking to some artists + musician friends, it was clear that a SSG was going to be a non-starter for most of them.

Currently it just supports simple track upload + playback, but plan is to add Artists, Albums + RSS feed.

Code: https://github.com/stereosteve/SHYM
Demo: https://tunez.stereosteve.workers.dev/

There is no auth and everything you upload will be deleted in the coming days.
But feel free to upload some tracks!
and then even if you get it close you could hand it to a real artist to touch it up the way you want.
From the outside, it’s accomplished via private interests bending the regulations in their favor, which is why we have a term for it: “regulatory capture”.

I’m not sure what your point is. Are you still stuck on the incorrect notion that “regulatory capture” can be summarized as onerous regulation? That simply does not work, but I’m happy to keep trying to explain why, if it’s not clear yet. There are also plenty of cases of regulatory capture dismantling regulations for everyone. Again, the single most relevant case in this thread, of Boeing circa the Lion Air crashes, is one of removing regulation. No regulations were made onerous or unnecessary in that case, it was the opposite of that, the regulation was bypassed for Boeing’s benefit, effectively removing it, and it remained unchanged for other carriers.

When regulatory capture occurs, sometimes regulations get harder, and sometimes they get easier. Whether it’s one or the other depends on the case, and depends on whose perspective it is. Trying to summarize “regulatory capture” as making regulations harder is just false, because that’s not what always happens, and not even what usually happens, and it completely fails to mention the primary relevant point: the special interest getting prioritized over the public interest.
I see the capitalized "R" in that last sentence :)

Its weird to see a country refered to as "her".

If we wrote software to do this, but we were so incompetent that we couldn't fill in the model with correct data, we might just say "who gives a fuck, fill that with random garbage and we'll fix it in a later version". And then we never do.

Your subjective experience is that incompetent model. Your model doesn't know how to correctly judge human character, so you misread people and always wonder why they say one thing but another is true, and it doesn't click that they're lying the whole time. You can't keep track of time because the internal clock just isn't implemented, so the who day seems to drag on, or maybe fly by too quickly.

It's all just really shitty software. Layers upon layers. And because humans believe this to be some mystical thing, rather than trying to fix it from the inside, they assume that it's awesome, necessary, and why would anyone want to fix it?

No small fraction of it is simply because our memory is faulty. The only time you ever remember anything is the first time you remember it, every memory access of that is really you remembering the last time you remembered it. Each access is lossier than the last, and confabulation is guaranteed. This seems to be true even moments after the event.

If it was anyone other than evolution who wrote your code, you could sue them for criminal negligence.

And that's before we even get to the part where you find out you're not even you. Inside your skull is another being, an intelligent one, with desires and goals. But you can't see, hear, or feel this being. It's invisible. The "you" that I'm talking to, exists because this being once upon a time needed to simulate the other humans around him, so he could anticipate them well enough to not be out-competed. He has a pretty good idea what they'd say if he asked them questions, how they'd respond to threats and challenges, what sets them off (so he can avoid fights). And, by mistake or design, he used this simulator to simulate himself (maybe to bootstrap it? if the simulation's output matches his known answers, it's working correctly?).

You're the simulation. When the judge asks the psycho teenager why he put the cat in the microwave and he says "I dunno" he's telling the truth. He does not know why. When your girlfriend cheats on you, and she's crying hysterically and can't tell you why she did it, she's not just lying (either to hurt you or to spare feelings)... she doesn't know. It was that other being in their skulls doing these things. They're just the simulations.

Now, you've either been poking around in your own head, seeing little glimpses of what I'm talking about, making you wonder if I'm not on to something, or you're incapable of that. I've met both kinds of people. If you're the former, you're wondering just how much of it I understand, because some of the glimpses paint a slightly different picture from what I describe. That's because our minds weren't built the same way. No two are alike, not in a special snowflake way, but instead like no two shacks in shantytown have the same kind of leaky cardboard roofs. And, if you're the latter...
I don't think anyone who is paid to listen to these calls is ready to believe statements by Elon Musk about the imminent relevance of FSD. You only have to speak to literally anyone else to find out that Tesla has no legitimate self-driving technology whatsoever. The mere fact that Musk tried to hype FSD on the earnings call is a huge red flag. It means the core business is weak.
They are reducing profits to be competitive with Chinese EV companies. This was always going to happen.

I predict it will drop until Tesla releases Optimus, the $25k EV, or something else and then we'll see it go back up.
> but it increasingly feels like the market is actively disinsentivizing devs from making good, unpolluted, games.

Increasingly? Have you seen what mobile games make? Blizzard didn't make Diablo Immortal for the fans. They made it for the money. And people paid.

If you remotely believe in money talking, than yes, the market has been actively disinsentivizing devs from making good, unpolluted, games for a LONG time now.
>>But emacs 29 with the right flags and a tuned GC (no one does this! it’s got a heap-size from the 80s!) is just as snappy and has more amazing packages than VSCode.

There are many ways to increase profits. Diluting existing shareholders by increasing outstanding shares should not be a bandaid for inefficient application of capital, which would juts cause a vicious cycle.
A person I know won a Microsoft contest when this was first announced and rolled out. Here's to you Scotty. A very smart person at a company full of them in the late 90's. I was one of the dumbest around in a place packed with talent. Never worked at a place as smart since.
I used to believe single issue voters existed. I don't think they do any more. They pretend things are important to them until their party tells them something else is currently more important. And then I watch them fall in line.
I agree with this, but so few people seem to like it. International travel is such a luxury and costs so much carbon. It's my goto example of something I would outlaw since it doesn't affect me, and there's no "real" reason for it. Of course, my libertarian sensibilities don't let me actually advocate for it, but I think about it when people want to outlaw marijuana, abortion, drinking, cars, guns, or whatever activity people other than themselves want to participate in. It's too easy to see the costs and not the benefits when it's someone else's activity.

But I really do think we'd be better off of more people voluntarily explored around their own home rather than taking far off vacations. Having lived in several countries and traveled to many more in my younger days (yes, I know, I'm a hypocrite), I don't find short travel visits to really help understand other cultures in any meaningful way like people like to claim. Extended visits or living there for several months or years does non-trivially change your perspective, though. As long as the place is substantially different and you make real connections with people.
