I'm with you, but I think it is a bit more complicated. I think a reason for a lot of pushback is because these systems are being over sold. A lot of tech over promises and under delivers. I'm not sure it is just an AI thing rather than the limit in which you can edge forward the amount of acceptable exaggeration.

It definitely is frustrating that many things are presented as binary. But I think we can only resolve this if we dig a little deeper and try to understand the actual frustration that is being attempted to be communicated. Unfortunately a lot of communication breaks down in a global context as we can't be reliant on the many implicit priors that may be generally shared across different groups. Complaining is also the first step to critiquing, but I think you're right that we should encourage criticisms over complaints, but I think we can attempt to elicit critiques from complaints too, and that we should.
I’ve already been allowed to use it in programming interviews where they’ve said it’s explicitly allowed to use ChatGPT. It’s led to some fun interactions because I use it a lot and as such I’m quite good with it and interviewers are often taken aback by how quickly I’m able to just destroy the question they put out with a good prompt

I will say there are still some programming questions you can give that will stump the hell out of ChatGPT. In particular I took one online coding assessment where I used it and there was a question about plotting on a graph with code and calculating areas based on the points plotted that ChatGPT failed miserably at, but someone pretty good with math and geometry would find pretty tractable.

> If you're having AI write your email, it probably wasn't that important.

"I hope this email finds you well." floods my inbox. Yuck.

I agree with most of that post. However, for me when I give AI tons of context (and follow up input), it helps me write emails better than pre-AI (given the same time and effort). Not putting an email I consider "important" through the AI sausage grinder is (in my case) malpractice.
I have generally had good experience dealing with Go Daddy, there was a bit of an incident with an auto renew hitting my credit card for a few hundred dollars that I wasn't expecting. I have also noticed that the site appearance seems subpar and they are pushing several third-party Products such as Microsoft 365. Personally I just locked up my domain names for the next 10 years so that I don't have to worry about renewals or policy changes [hopefully anyways!]

I find this kind of dismissal extremely tiring. It's very lazy to wave away criticism of a tool as a skill issue.

On the tin the claims are both true: LLMs do not replace search (it does not link me to any resources), at best it augments it (with services like Phind or Bing combining the two).

Also, search is made worse by SEO spam, which can be churned out more easily with AI, leading to crap like the following: https://web.archive.org/web/20230103091313/https://www.slowi... (which has been edited to be less nonsensical, but remains hilariously out of place). That's not to say that SEO spam wouldn't exist without AI, but this level of carelessness ("a 32 bit wine bottle is a bottle of wine that has been created with 32 bits of data") seems to be new.
I'm okay with them googling too. And I tell them that at the start. But if they take ages to lookup the answer when others just know the answer, it's gonna hurt their chances.

> Your ability to use ChatGPT effectivelly is highly dependent on your technical competence.

Indeed. At this point, one thing I'd do is stick a candidate in front of some code that (a) didn't work, (b) which came from ChatGPT, and (c) which ChatGPT cannot itself fix, and see if the candidate can fix it.
Can you elaborate on the safety issue, I'm having a hard time finding anything while searching

It's a bad market, probably the worst since 2000.
Some of this is overhiring and zero interest rate behavior coming to an end.
Companies are shifting from prioritizing growth to profitability.
There is also a lot of asshole behavior. They are laying people off to please Wall Street, not because they need to for financial reasons. And they are doing layoffs in extremely callous ways, e.g., right before Christmas.

My daughter's data engineering team in finance was reduced from five to two, and they are not giving raises that match inflation. She is almost singlehandedly responsible for servicing million-dollar accounts. It's not like there isn't money.

There is also a lot of hiring of remote people outside the US. The companies figured out how to do remote work during Covid, and they are using it to reduce costs.

Things will probably improve in the next year, but it will be rough for a while.

What are the negatives to the concrete seawalls?
Why?

Interviewing as a process sucks enough as it is. It should just be a culture fit filter that takes you all of 15 minutes to say yes or no to.

Technical interviews are lame and filter for people that are good at technical interviews, not people that are good at the job.
This seems readily fixable by doing the interview in-person.

I don’t usually love parallels from digital to physical worlds, especially with regards to laws, since there is a lot of nuance that gets lost.

But, with that said… If I own a property that I don’t use, and people start making and selling drugs there, without me knowing… to what degree am I liable?

And what do the police/FBI do in that situation?

I would be totally fine with them entering the property, dealing with the specific threat, not looking at more than they need to for that investigation, and letting me know what happened.

It seems like the exact same thing. These people were allowing illegal activity on their property (devices), unknowingly. So the police come in and deal with the threat, only look at what they need for the specific investigation, and let people know afterwards.
> the new freenet is a new, seperate network to the original

This is correct - while old and new Freenet both rely on a small-world network, they are very different and not compatible. Borrowing from our FAQ[1], the main differences are:

Functionality: The previous version of Freenet (now called Hyphanet) was analogous to a decentralized hard drive, while the current version is analogous to a full decentralized computer.

Real-time Interaction: The current version allows users to subscribe to data and be notified immediately if it changes. This is essential for systems like instant messaging or group chat.

Programming Language: Unlike the previous version, which was developed in Java, the current Freenet is implemented in Rust. This allows for better efficiency and integration into a wide variety of platforms (Windows, Mac, Android, MacOS, etc).

Transparency: The current version is a drop-in replacement for the world wide web and is just as easy to use.

Anonymity: While the previous version was designed with a focus on anonymity, the current version does not offer built-in anonymity but allows for a choice of anonymizing systems to be layered on top.

> TypeScript is a better typed JavaScript than Dart will probably ever be

At the same time, thank goodness Dart doesn't have all the warts of Javascript and a standard sane build system. Dart doesn't have to be the best Javascript to be good at what it does, especially now with algebraic data types and pattern matching.

I'm hopeful they'll make Wasm production-ready soon to move away from JS transpilation.
Well, I feel like we probably won't agree here, but we do agree on the environmental sustainability topic and I can't personally advocate for car-centric city planning with that in mind.

I think efficiency as it's defined by urban planners and transport experts is, in my opinion, the most useful definition to use in this debate. I also didn't intend to advocate for a single mode of transportation. EVs likely have a place in a public transport network to fill gaps and/or ferry people with mobility issues. But they should exist as complementary strategies to a robust fleet of mass transit systems, bike lanes and footpaths. Again, leaning entirely on cars, even EVs, is going to eventually lead to congestion and sprawl.

> But I'm always going to start from a premise of "how can we achieve the same or better on human time and effort"

Right, but this only works if only some of the population of a city travels this way. If everyone does, we're back to congestion and traffic jams, which make this mode even less efficient again.

> rather than telling people they have to accept transportation that takes longer and doesn't actually get them directly to where they're going.

Have you had negative experiences with public transport? Because this isn't really the typical situation in every city. I also didn't mean to tell anyone they had to accept one form of transport. I think you'll find if you provide it, and design it well, people will use it, though.

I got the same result, which came across as stupid given that I have lots of back hair.
I've been online in some form or other since 1993. Back in 1993, everything
was basically accessible by default, because it was plain text.

No, there has not been an improvement, and in fact, things have gotten worse
in a lot of ways. Most of that is due to SPAs, and people who decide
to use JavaScript when HTML widgets would suffice.

I'm also involved with a text mode web browser project, [edbrowse](https://edbrowse.org/).
Ten years ago, it was feasible to use edbrowse for a great deal of online
activity. For instance, I used it to make purchases from Amazon and other
online stores. I could log into Paypal and send money with it.

Then, in the mid 2010s or so, SPAs started becoming a thing and edbrowse
broke on more and more sites. At this point, in 2024, I can't even use it
to read READMEs on Github.

And yes, I have accessibility trouble when using mainstream browsers too,
all the time.
This resonates with my experience using Copilot. It generates lowest-common-denominator code, and displays a stunning unawareness of language and library features. Some understandable due to training cutoff (but still very frustrating), but it also refused to use Pillow functions that seem to have been around for a decade, instead crufting together some shitty pipeline by hand.
Some of these places are 5-star restaurants that are just really dirty in my opinion. Some of the best food I've ever eaten was cooked by some old drug-addicted lady at a gas station at 4:30 AM.
They thanked me for my loyalty as a business class customer when I moved by charging me money for equipment I had returned + continuing to bill me after I cancelled and had moved away from the location. I ended up having to go through a local regulator to bludgeon them into submission, at which point an upper management level Comcast employee called me on the phone and begged me to sign a paper to make the regulatory complaint go away.

I refuse to ever live somewhere Comcast-only.
I guess December would be even worse. But similar reasons.

I answer a lot of this on a forum post on the OpenAI forum [1], but basically, thank goodness for API's and screen reader addons that make use of them, because the only two AI's that are even remotely easy to use and accessible are Bard and Bing.

So I'm interpreting this that it won't ever get released.
Social platforms have discovered how to tap into addictive behaviors, but it doesn't come with the negative baggage of the typical addiction vectors. Regulation doesn't help evident by the war on drugs. To me the first step would be to publicly recognize/accept digital consumption as an addiction

Oh it's on-request. I followed their marketing link and it only offered me 1G so I assumed it was unavailable. Their big advantage is they have good coverage and many municipalities will preserve that by preventing other telecom companies from putting their alternative technologies in (say FttH).

Except it is unclear how that lifestyle can be better than what we have now, and until we have technology that allows perfect pass-through in both directions (as if like glasses) - which may be physically impossible - there are drawbacks that make that lifestyle fundamentally worse than what we have now.
I get it. It's doesn't seem about AI vs non-AI. I think it's a more telling statement about how useless a lot of the applications are right now. They solve marginal problems in marginal environments, problems that are portrayed by their stakeholders as being of utmost importance. All so people can go around patting themselves on the back for having used AI to solve a non-problem in the first place.

We conflate a job's duty with a job's problem.

Want to make AI useful? Solve big, real problems with it. Combine it with the learnings of the last 20 years on how to build grassroots movements.

Maybe make a change in society, rather than solving yet another imagined-email problem.
Been using DeepSeek Coder 33B Q8 on my work laptop for a bit now. I like it, but am still finding myself going to GPT-4's API for the more nuanced things.

They just released a v1.5 (https://huggingface.co/deepseek-ai/deepseek-coder-7b-instruc...), but for some reason, they reduced the context length from ~16k to ~4k.
It’s not an allegation it’s a fact. Also, the point of the subject wasn’t missed this is why I lead with “not exactly the same”. To provide a bit more clarity, these dev teams often request access to the users computer through teamviewer and similar or ask to have a full working device that they can login to as to work from so essentially they’re on the persons network with a device with full access to that network. My statement never suggest anything related to the botnet. Regarding hackers, yes devs of course could be potential hackers, likely.
Some of us, definitely.
> the maintainers are a social construction rather than a matter of property law.

Property law itself is a social construction of exactly the same kind.

A single person or group owning a FLOSS project is also a typical, almost universal case. There's always the person or team, and the canonical repository, that represents what "Emacs" is, or what "sr.ht" is, etc. In practice, for everything except legal issues, this is the same as legal ownership.

Interesting, I use kill-the-newsletter to go the other way around. But your approach would give a good search and archiving functionality, something that rss clients (mostly) lack.

The only other client that has such functionality is on Emacs, afaik. Had not tried it.. anyway, it would be cool to find an email client that allows me to add scores to emails based on keywords in the subject and/ or content.
