Hell is just inherently more interesting to the human mind than paradise or purgatory. I read Ulysses with a book group and a leader that had read it in grad school and a number of books that exist to explain Ulysses. I read GEB as a fourteen year old with no internet access and it changed my life, but the ending isn’t that important. The proof of how the incompleteness theorem works and the stuff on Koans is I think most of the meat.
I have been waiting since 1992 and The Lawnmower Man but VR/AR is always so gimmicky.

I just can't believe it seems like we are going to go my whole life without touch in virtual REALITY.

The problem is the killer app is virtual sex. It has always been virtual sex but these tech companies are not going to touch that one.

Not that I blame them if you think about for one second the backlash if Zuckerberg came out with virtual netflix and chill in VR. I think it is so obvious that you can even spend 50 billion in research but not even try to do touch. Totally off limits for the ramifications it would have.

XPrivacyLua for Android does just that. It requires LSPosed, which enables deep modifications of the OS and other apps. Needless to say, that has its own security implications.
They both loved word play and enjoyed examples as much as they enjoyed generalities.
It doesn't have to be a life-or-death issue in order to moderately annoy someone. In fact, straws are not a life-or-death issue, so it annoys people when they are treated as a life-or-death issue. And nobody has ever been annoyed into agreeing with a political view. Politicians should understand these kinds of regulations just create new opponents and entrench people already against you.

>go to the YouTube channels of companies like AWS, Azure, GCP --they publish 10 to 30 minute videos of various employees, from product managers to architects etc doing explainers on various topics

1. Most companies don't do that.

2. AWS, for example, has what, 100k employees? What percentage of them are actually featured in those videos?

>More generally --the billions of hours and growing of audio video on YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms -- is literally someone in real life (most cases), likely some employee, that could be or become a middle manager somewhere.

A vanishingly small percentage of that content is generated as part of that middle management job. Yes, many people choose to place themselves on publicly accessible video, but it mostly isn't part of a mid level office job, so not doing so isn't incompatible with holding such a position.

In fact, there is an obvious way how to build a machine that tells whether the program will stop or not. One only needs to track all the states that the machine was in, and if a program enters a state that was already encountered before then it's obviously stuck. And there are only that many permutations of possible states that machine can be in. So a number (time) can be given of when the result will be guaranteed to be found (which of course could be beyond physical resources of the universe, but mathematics are fine not to take those into account)
I think the answer to that question can probably be applied to most of the Russian war effort.

This says more about the link budget than anything else, it's much harder to keep tracking when satellites are close to each other moving at high relative velocities. At the distances in your example, movement of the laser link optical head is very slow, on the order of 0.01 - 0.1 deg/s. Optical heads also have a control loop which actively corrects for pointing errors once a positive link is established. Check out: https://www.sda.mil/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/SDA-OCT-Stand...

Minute amounts of wax will be ingested into the body with every use. It will be similar to the current situation with microplastics (mostly polyester – coming from the sportswear and clothing in general that fray at the microscopic level) that have been detected in human body organs pervasively and are being investigated for their side effects on the hormonal system.

Moreover, wax is not one chemical compound but is a broad term for a variety of very different chemical compounds shoved under the «wax» umbrella term due to sharing same properties: being solid, lipophilic and malleable. Anything that shares such properties is a wax.

There are four broad categories of wax:

– Plant based (e.g. soy, carnauba, castor, jojoba, tallow and others)

– Animal based (beeswax, lanolin – from sheep, Chinese wax – from insects)

– Petroleum (paraffin and microcrystalline)

– Mineral waxes (peat and ceresin are most important ones).

Other than beeswax, long term health effects of ingesting a wax are unknown. Plant based waxes can't be completely purified and will contain miniscule amounts of potentially harmful phytochemicals that may have a detrimental effect on the human body. Animal based waxes are already known to cause irritation in some people and are likely to mess up the hormonal system in the long term. They can just a have a rancid or a funny smell – sufficient to be unsuitable to put in one's mouth.

Petroleum based waxes… Food-grade paraffin wax has been used in foodstuffs for a while since it passes the digestive tract unchanged, yet it is an open question whether it also creates microparticles that settle in the body and have a potential to affect our health. Impurities in petroleum and in waxes overall are a major source of concern, and it is a matter of time when somebody unscrupulous quietly swaps out a higher grade product for a cheap and nasty one.

The bottom line is that long term health effects of the wax ingestion on the human body are unknown, and – by extension – wax coated paper straws are probably not a solution, not a safe one anyway until proven otherwise.

Metal straws are the most inert ones, but even then aluminium leeching into food through cookware has already been implicated as a potential contributor to the onset of Alzheimers and steel has an amount (albeit small) of nickel in it… it just never ends.

Is the author claiming that LLMs are Markov Chain text generators? That is, the probability distribution of the next token generated is the same as the probability of those token sequences in the training data?

If so, does it suggest we could “just” build a Markov Chain using the original training data and get similar performance to the LLM?
It's not even starting or stopping interacting with people. Its being fed what we want and what we are comfortable with. The algorithmic firehose freezes us into a comfortable, unchanging state. We don't update our beliefs because its easier to confirm them.

It’s a very interesting space. There are several experimental editors out there - they’re all rough as you might expect, but the possibilities are fun to think about.

I’m building a semi-structured editor for UI - I’ve described it as “vim for designers.” Just as an example of how varied the general idea can be.
You are missing the point, it's obvious that a cockpit needs to account for stress or a crisis. Extending this to CAD software for example is nonsense.

I imagine all the "I can't fit bags in my pockets for my impromptu shopping trips" people posting when mobile phones first became popular: "Are they expecting us to put these in our pockets?! All the time!? Just in case someone calls???"

Seems like a broader resistance to change?
All of that channels your emotions in a negative way. Carrying reusable bags and straws really isn’t that difficult let’s be honest, we carry around other things.
That is Google way, rather than "normal"
I’m not sure it has to be exclusive: some people are inveterate freeloaders but most of us understand that the artists have to get paid, so it’s not just a question of being so cheap that piracy isn’t appealing but also having users feel like they’re not being taken advantage of.

The problem feels a lot like the situation MoviePass worked themselves into where they priced it unsustainably low but cheap money allowed that to run long enough to train a generation of customers that their content was only worth that much. I imagine Netflix would dearly love to say that your subscription includes a certain number of movies but you can add on more, or that there’s a premium tier, etc. but there isn’t an easy way to try something like that now that everyone is used to the current model.

The other side of the problem is that studios really don’t want market pricing. Subscriptions are banking on the idea that you’ll still pay $12/month and find something else to watch even if the big series/movie they’re promoting isn’t very good, and they’re keeping the prices for rentals really high which makes means people are often looking at 1-2 months of streaming charges for a single movie rental.

The combination of the two seems likely to make a lot of people pirating for years to come. Most people do not want to juggle multiple services and if they’ve learned how to pirate anything once it’s always going to be there the next time someone jacks up prices or plays games with availability. I think that’s going to last until someone has the courage to let services like YouTube or AppleTV offer rentals of everything at reasonable prices.
Rats actually prefer the real world to a boring cage with a lever.
What is your evidence it has caused backlash, or that it hasn't actually had a benefit? The whole article claims the contrary: that it works.

I do agree that some behaviors can be counterproductive, like those pests who blockade busy roads or glue themselves to paintings "for the environment". Not only do these privileged and spoiled punks unjustly impede people from living their lives and destroy culture (they seem to always glue themselves to things that still pass as art, never the banana duct taped to the wall), but they only foment antipathy toward anything environmental, harming legitimate concern, action, and legislation in the process. The social deficits and ineptness of these people is astounding.

It was Microsoft's nerfing of the "Pro" Windows editions that did it for my business. We're small but we still need control of our own systems to operate professionally - just like the bigger organisations whose IT teams would never accept Microsoft forcing things like updates, reboots, and telemetry on their users. Since around Windows 10 it seems like Pro is just Home with a couple of minor concessions but still 99% of the junk we won't tolerate so we're now almost exclusively Linux and haven't bought a new Windows machine in a long time.

> It's easy to make this judgement now when the headset has just been launched. But over the coming decades we are going to new see new types of social interaction that could enhance the world rather than break it apart.

So ... in many ways my life has been this "over the coming decades" first the internet in general, then social media, then smart phones. And at each of those steps I said what you just said about this.

But I dunno man! I have to say that I feel like the "this will lead to deterioration in valuable human bonds" crowd has been more thoroughly vindicated than my "we have to wait and see whether the good dominates the bad!" crowd.
The api is lower–level than that. It is very similar to ncurses which just gives you a primitive window; a rectangular subsection of the screen that can be scrolled independently of the rest. It doesn’t give you a bunch of UI widgets like buttons and checkboxes that can be conveniently shown off in screenshots. You can build a whole TUI without ever even using those windows, because in a lot of UIs the content of the windows don’t need to scroll.

(And of course there’s all that stuff about colors, and notcurses adds functions for rendering bitmaps and videos into windows that ncurses doesn’t have.)
That’s like saying alcohol is fine, it’s the incentives of the people selling and using it.

It's not the same as Ubuntu Linux from 2018.

On Ubuntu both the OS and software packages are frozen in time and fixes are backported from newer versions.

It's not the same at all as what Microsoft does. In fact Windows is de facto a rolling OS, a phenomenon which also exists in the Linux world but is much less popular there. A rolling OS user would not have the problem in the article.
That is very true on paper, but I wonder why, when I travel to/through America, everything feels poorer. Maybe it's the stroad landscape in small towns, or the insane cost of living in Brooklyn, but everything that's not Nature feels distinctly more bland, mediocre and futile than Western Europe. Talking to people does not change that feeling. It's like a million facades making the same emptiness, in a peculiar way I can't quite put my finger on. Friendly people, stunning landscape, but a bigger TV does not make one richer in any way that matters.

It works just fine for me though. It's in the standard FreeBSD package collection.

'Support' is a hollow term when it comes to Microsoft anyway. I deal with their paid 'premium support' regularly at work. It's double outsourced, first to Accenture and then to a ton of tiny companies that know nothing.

I get so much better support from the FreeBSD package maintainers than I've ever had from Microsoft :)

I wish it were easier to deny internet access to Apps. It isn't a perfect solution but it prevents the simplest data theft. Unfortunately side channel attacks are still too easy: Either a cooperating app, or send once of high value data via a link click opening the browser.

From what I can tell, internet access is the default just to allow apps to have advertising. Too cynical?

Android originally could deny internet access to Apps which I found useful.

Certainly I don't want an extension or plugin to have pull access to the internet. That may limit functionality. But often only push is needed (e.g. blocking list could be pushed). No third-party keyboard should have internet access.

Edit: rewrote a little clearer.
gvisor; `runsc`: https://gvisor.dev/docs/ :

The system interfaces normally implemented by the host kernel are moved into a distinct, per-sandbox application kernel in order to minimize the risk of a container escape exploit. gVisor does not introduce large fixed overheads however, and still retains a process-like model with respect to resource utilization.

That seems pretty unpersuasive. It seems like you're agreeing that rust is subject to the same bug, are even aware of situations where it's happened, and are hiding behind a switcheroo where you're blaming not the language but the fact that C didn't use a standard gadget for the trick.

But (1) that says nothing about the language, you could totally implement something like smallstr in C, (2) smallstr isn't very standard! I literally had to look it up, and importantly (3) this is glibc, not app code, and you absolutely can't be pulling random libraries into the core standard library in any case.

Basically this seems like excusemaking. Rust in fact has the same problem, because it's a hard problem, and not subject to clean abstraction through the tooling. And it would be good for everyone to admit that fact rather than try to prestidigitize an explanation.
I'm right now reading Hitch-22 (Christopher Hitchens) and being, as you said, delighted by the language. Here's an example:

(the context is his first meeting with Martin Amis, a lifelong friend)

Lovers often invest their first meetings with retrospective significance, as if to try and conjure the elements of the numinous out of the stubborn witness of the everyday.

Now that, I admire, and yet I can't imagine writing it. The only word that's at all unusual is "numinous."
The world has to evolve in a different way than it is currently happening. Which is not impossible but those headset development are not cheap so the monetisation is a very high requirement.

It is a lot easier to use those headset where they naturally fit: ultra-personalised experience. Like social media v2, lot of potential to connect human, but devolving into jailing human in echo chambers: you can keep in touch with your family and friends across the world, or you can get hooked into a forever stream of news/post/video/product customised to make you engage.

That and they are cheaper to produce. Now we're learning more and more that using plastic for everything is not just bad for the environment, but also bad for our health. Consumer sentiment is shifting accordingly.

For the record, I'm in camp, "Don't care that much, whatever straws are fine". I'd be happy if as a society we could just get people not to litter like other developed countries manage to. I have a lot of junk which ends up in my front yard (people tossing garbage from passing cars) and my backyard (a river where all kinds of styrofoam, plastic cups, plastic bags, etc. all wash up). If all the junk was biodegradable it wouldn't hang around my yard and require me to pick it up (or I could at least toss it on the burn pile).
Wishful thinking.

They're only weakened if they stop blocking the Red Sea for ships moving to or from Israel, plus US and UK ships.

And what's with the constant 'Iran-Backed' adjective thing? The Houtis are big enough and ugly enough to make their own minds up to be the only Arab country gutsy enough to act on their own against Israel.

If we put the boot on the other foot, we should be always talking about the US-backed Israeli Genocide in Gaza.

Sorry for the late reply but been out of town and not checking. Those are toasters, not toaster ovens.

A toaster toasts bread (and waffles, or other thin flour things). That's it.

A toaster oven began as a category of device that looked like a tiny oven but was built to be a toaster that could do a little bit more than just toast bread. But it's evolved, and modern toaster ovens can take a quarter-sheet pan (it's based on US standard, so it's 13"x9", but more or less the same size is used worldwide in commercial kitchens), sometimes a little larger.

I have never owned a Breville toaster. I have owned three of their toaster ovens, two of which I've given to friends and family when I moved up in size. I don't turn my main oven on, at all, except for holidays, because the toaster oven heats up and finishes cooking the food before the big oven even gets up to temperature. And I live in the southern US, so extra heat in the kitchen is usually heat that the air conditioner has to remove - it very rarely is helping me keep warm (think AGA ranges - those would never work here).

I wait for the sub-freezing nights, of which we usually have 20-30 a year at most (no kidding), to run the self-clean cycle on the big oven.
