>> Unfortunately CAMM appears to have a larger footprint than a DIMM slot.

We need a new motherboard form factor that assumes no PCIe graphics card.
I like my ITX box and put the power connector and button where the expansion slot would normally go because I used an APU. But we could do a lot better with the board size by assuming integrated graphics. A lower riser on the back would be nice too - maybe only 2 USB high.
Please read the article, and then contribute comments in the spirit of intellectual curiosity.

All one needs to do, in order to prove the theory correct, is to take a new photo at a high springtide[1]. If it's no higher than the old photo, then the theory is correct. If it is higher, then we don't know (because the old photo could have been taken at a lower tide).

Ultimately, it doesn't matter. Without any disrespect intended, anybody, who thinks the ocean is meaningfully rising because of human activity, I'd rather not have living in my town; they're likely to vote to raise my taxes because the TV told them that if they give money to the government the weather will be gooder.

People like tobacco, too, but we generally structure society so that people who like tobacco aren't blowing smoke in the faces of everyone else. If you want to brain damage yourself for corporations that's your prerogative, but you can do that where it isn't harming everyone else.

> Another poster here (who lives there) says the local government also offered this company a tax break when they moved in. Sounds like the government doesn't actually have the best interests of its citizens in mind.

That was likely because they didn't expect it to be noisy. This is something that is relatively easily fixed by adding more sound insulation to the building. If the fine is too low to encourage this, then that is a problem with the law enforcement, not bitcoin mining.

> If their electricity usage requires building new power plants and/or fortifying existing grid connections or transmission lines, they should bear the cost of that work, alone. Residents should not be seeing higher electricity costs because of companies like this, but the article claims they are.

Would you say the same for data centres? Should computer gamers be forced to pay for the power plants that supply the energy that they used? Why are you singling out one particular use of energy? If its using a lot of energy, then it's also paying for a lot of energy, and likely very profitable energy as it's a constant demand rather than volatile which can be very wasteful for production.

> You keep bringing this up, but seem to have no idea how society works: governments and citizens have that right.

I keep bringing it up, because they do not have that right. Governments can try to enforce legislation, but if it's unlawful/unconstitutional then they will fail assuming the judicial system is correctly independent.
If I do something with energy that I have fairly obtained and what I do does not harm anyone else (which hashing data does not, just as computer gaming doesn't) then attempts to stop me would be a breach of my peace and I could and would, sue for damages.

Cynicism is cheap. What's some "art" you like?
They already do, at least in terms of second-order effects. You can't use the energy you buy to electrocute someone. You can't use that energy to power a meth lab.

That's not because the law specifically says you can't use electricity to do those things (it's about murder and illegal drug production and distribution), but the end result is the same.

Banning Bitcoin or Bitcoin mining need not be a specific energy-use law, even if that might be the purpose behind such a law.
You're assuming these people have "extra space" to rent out to begin with. Many/most do not.

The DOS version was one of the first graphical things I ever saw. My dad pretty much lived on the road in England and one day he came home with this installed on his portable (not really a laptop). Everyone remembers their first experience with Google Maps when it came out; I had similar feelings with this as a kid. It took ages to calculate a route, but it was incredibly cool. On a black and white, slow-refresh LCD screen, the map background was black and the routes in various shades of light grey. As a Cold War kid it felt like I was some sort of spymaster or nuclear forces general using secret technology to plan my campaigns.
Craigslist knows there are are lot of scams and so when you go to contact a seller they give a big warning that there are scams and so avoid them. Facebook accepts ad from scammers but gives you no warning that they do that. And not just things that marketplace, but they also accept ads from scammers and redirect you do their website for the scam - without any warning that it could be a scam.

I refuse to buy from Facebook because they mix things so that things that it seems I shouldn't have to beware of could be scams. I don't mind buying from a potential scammer - but I'll take extra action if I have reason to worry, which in turn means if you are not local to me I won't buy from you. There are a lot of things that I cannot get locally though, so I have to buy from someone who might or might not be scamming me, there I look for signs that it is not a scam - and there Facebook is not helpful in separating out scams from legitimate companies.

Honest question: how is a lawsuit filed against someone whose identity isn’t known? Is there a term for it?

I’m curious about the specific mechanics of the lawsuit. Presumably the judge would make a ruling, and then that ruling would stick if and when the identity became known. But is that how it actually works?

Also, is there a way for Anna’s Archive to defend themselves without revealing their identity?
> Same as juicero, many people bash the product but the engineering is world class.

Absolutely not. Juicero was absolutely terrible engineering. Any mechanical engineering intern can whip up a big chonking hunk of a juicer or any other kind of product in SolidWorks.

Filleting every edge does not mean "engineering".

The vast majority of the work and difficulty in engineering is NOT getting something to work, but doing so while also working within constraints. There were no constraints in the Juicero. It was impressively manufactured. But terribly engineered. Which is why the entire thing went down despite an absurd level of fundraising.
To a specific audience that they have cultivated, though. And almost universally with a highly specific framing. What they are doing is finding posts from queer children, teachers, or parents, adding a line that frames it as inherently pedophilic or something, and then posting it to their extremely large follower base of explicitly bigoted people that would not probably have been aware of the post otherwise. Those people are obviously going to get really angry at the people the original posts were from and a portion of them will do something about it, you're essentially vastly increasing the size of the audience that's aware of their posts and the proportion of that audience that is hostile. It's essentially the online equivalent of having a big mob behind you that's really angry about some group of people existing, and happening to see one of that group and pointing at them, and then the mob goes after them. Sure, that person was existing out in the open for anyone to see before you pointed at them, but you are explicitly directing a very specific group of people to be aware of them, within a very specific context and framing that wouldn't have been added to that person otherwise, and that has consequences. Additionally, they will often choose clips from things that are pulled completely out of context. Reposting content that was already online is not necessarily an inherently neutral behavior, because you are always reposting it to somewhere; in this case, taking a post from a person and boosting and broadcasting it to a huge group of people that hate that person.

That was amazingly disturbing.

I'm generally not disturbed by my noisy visual field, but this.. Giant halo around the breathing dot, as the contrast faded in and out the roundness started to disintegrate and as it changed size while fading to grey it started straight up breaking into geometric patterns, like the geometry was chopped up around the edges.

I have no problem looking into nothingness for a long time (I can stare at ceilings until the lines disappear, or into the sky until the clouds seem to meld away)..

Given how this was probably not intended to be a visual illusion, it did a great job of it! :D
I've been wondering the same! Haven't really had the time to dig into stable content addressing (and I assume the loose semantics of something like JavaScript would make that exceedingly hard).
Congrats on building this!

Initial feedback:

That circle is gargantuan, focusing on it takes no significant mental bandwidth. Yes, that's the point of meditation, but if you challenge people a bit, it makes it easier for them to stay focused, especially for beginners. (Or maybe it's a mobile page and I just shouldn't watch it on my desktop monitor?)

Like the pulse in general, but maybe a bit too fast. Absolutely hate the coloring - black is having a mood impact, and washed out grey is just meh. That's probably a personal reaction, but worth keeping in mind if you want to build on it.

Having a clearer indication of time left might be helpful for people beginning to meditate. (If I'd built it, I'd progressively make the focus object vanish until it's gone at the end, but, again, that might be personal preference.)
Who do you trust to provide that solution who is above using it to control narratives for their own benefit? And do you think they will forever be trustworthy and/or agree with your world view?

> Lots of small stuff like bots and scripts to automatically rename files that I use locally every single day

What kinds of prompts are using for the file renaming scripts?
What are you getting at when you say "secretive" injections? Isn't this stuff basically how any AI business shapes their public GPTs? I don't even know what a LLM looks like without the primary prompts tuning it's attitude and biases. Can you run a GPT responsibly without making some discretional directions for it? And being secretive, isn't that reasonable for a corporation - how they tune their LLM is surely valuable IP.

And this is just addressing corporations, people running their own LLMs are the bigger problem. They have zero accountability and almost the same tools as the big players.

I must be misunderstanding what these prompts are used for.

I was really fascinated with the idea of space repetition. For a long time.

I only have 1 problem. There is no good space repetition app on for smartphones. Websites & computer apps are just too clunky for me to use the effectively.

I would like to build one, but I really don't have a comprehensive on how the entire concept works and how to implement it.

Does anyone recommend any great books or resources that comprehensively describe space repetition & how to use it effectively
Yeah, but there are standard ways to slice the pie. An equivalent approach would be comparing multiple Ford vehicles to Tesla’s entire lineup. They are about as similar to one another as Ford’s trucks are.

Performance has improved to the point where I no longer use it, but I know Unison was a critical part of docker-sync (at one point, file performance for Docker on Mac was absolutely terrible without it)
The main problem that I see in my years of experience is: "how well does what I design hold up to ACTUAL product design changes?"

Everything else comes second to that including this authors version of "build extensible systems around dependencies, this allows you to shift dependencies without shifting internal logic." That idea is good as long as you dont end up rebuilding an entire framework out of that extensible system, otherwise you shouldve used an existing one. If you have an extensible system, but dont use it, thats a lot of complexity that increases the maintenance burden.

All of these tradeoffs make sense in their appropriate circumstances, but those circumstances largely rely on predicting the future of the product IMO.
Banking applications complain regardless.
This is a great example of why the pin-operator is bad, IMO. Rebinding isn't worth this complication.

> This false premise that "living alone" is some sort of social achievement needs to end.

I agree. I find the idea of living around other people absolutely detestable, but I do often wonder how much of this is cultural.
For me, the ending was a little rushed, but fine. It tied up at least some of the plot elements from the first part. Yes, it was like two separate books, as if Niven and Pournelle's Lucifer's Hammer was mashed together with the TV version of Asimov's Foundation, but both parts were pretty good.

Mean is a bit of a misleading number here since the distribution really is discrete - and there are a lot more 1 and 2 person homes today than before, which is contributing to the lower average.
I think you're right about making the prompts or certain parts of the prompts public.

But I also think you can't blame them for trying something like this. Because they are getting hammered with questions about racial biases and such. Also, diversity etc. although it has been politicized is not just politics. It's a deep belief for many people.

"Sam, what are you going to do about AI bias?" x 50 interviews = Sam asks the team to try to reduce it with the prompt.

And I think, despite the counter-examples, it probably reduces the bias quite a bit.
From the embedded graphic, only 22% seemed to spend any(?) of the money on a long-term benefit (e.g. job training, car repair, etc).

And even that included medical bills.

Throwing extra money at people to be spent on short-term consumables (groceries, etc) might be good for the economy, but doesn't seem to move the individuals ahead economically.

Which leaves them back in the same place when the support is withdrawn.

It'd be nice to see support tied to (something that will leave them better off). Rent/grocery support... if studying for a marketable certificate.

But with strong safeguards around for-profits sucking the money without adding value to the individuals (e.g. predatory worthless degree mills sucking up GI Bill benefits).

Trump was the first president with no political, military, or even lawyer experience. And it showed, badly, when it came to congressional policy making.

But he no doubt was a major reason domestic manufacturing shot to the top of Biden's election priorities, after it was a major sticking point that Trump fared far better with the working class vs Hillary.

Even Michael Moore conceded back then that his messaging around rebuilding gutted industry was far better, so it's not surprising it was co-opted.

Which is a good thing, what matters is listening to people and getting results at the end of the day.
Yes and no - the final skills can be acquired well in apprenticeships but for the basic knowledge it is more effective (or at least more efficient) to teach as universities do; if we look at the major professions where universities have taught employable skills since the first universities were founded, namely, medicine and law, and where the various approaches of learning these employable skills have been tried&tested for centuries, they both definitely make a solid use of apprenticeship but that apprenticeship is started only after years of studying the fundamental knowledge that is needed for the practical skills.

I disagree. We do need fabs because we need the expertise.

I am not sure what you mean by this.

But we, humans, qualitatively think in a way that we absolutely know for sure GPT does not.

We are capable of introspection and metacognition.

GPT is not. We know it is not, because the software does not provide it the resources or the methods to engage in it.

To suggest otherwise is pointless quasi-woo.

In LA there are tons of "co-living" spaces where they're basically renting out bedrooms for $2500-$4000 a month! It's the similar to living with roommates except each roommate has their own lease and you have no choice in who becomes your roommate.

I don't know any actual stats, only that in searching for an apartment they came up a lot in searches and I assumed it was partly to make more money (a 3br apartment with 3 people paying $3k each is $9k vs renting the whole apartment for $6k-7k)

But, also, rent in general is too damn high and it's lowers the price "for some definition of lower".
Curious - could these blobs be cached? I'm assuming they change only on upgrade?
Happened to me the other day. I got a weird feeling when they responded with a long message within seconds of me messaging (maybe it’s partially automated?), then when they wanted to pay upfront with Zelle and asked for my email I knew it was a scam.

At that point they’d send you a fake Zelle/Venmo phishing email, saying you need to upgrade to a business account, or “login” and do something else to accept the payment.
It will be so cool once these are miniaturized to those big square 70's glasses or smaller. Maybe contact lenses in some sci-fi future.

Agreed - and it’s one of those things that we know there is an ROI but the R rarely makes it to the original I, or even on a viable timescale.

I mean giving Einstein an education is probably the highest ROI made in the past 120 years. But how do we ascribe that?

Or more recently South Africa has made noises along the lines of “we raised you Elon, where’s the tax revenue now?”

The camera uses a certificate to sign the authenticity of the photo taken and some metadata. Any editing app wraps that signature with its own signature stating it was modified. You end up with a chain of provenance. And any generated photo is either missing a chain, or when un-wrapping, its origin cert isn't from a camera.
