As far as I know, it isn't controversial amongst scholars whether Jesus existed - the consensus is that there was an actual teacher around whom the cult of Christianity formed. Obviously this consensus doesn't regard supernatural claims with any validity, nor the content of any Gospel as being historically accurate.

We talk about friction of tires on Asphalt, or engine noise. Nobody seems to do something about exhaust modification. This is big win with little effort. The logarithmic scale of DB hides how serious the issue is. A 95db modified exhaust create noise that's equal to 10000 54db cars. One such vehicle passing by downtown at 3am can disrupt the sleep of thousands of people (among hundreds of thousands who are in the range, but most of them might not be that sensitive). IMHO, an exhaust modification that adds more than 10db to the factory provided one should be illegal. It's easy to think of next steps for cars that are made noisy in the factory, but it's incredible that nothing is being done about this.
I used to drink along the lines of this much coffee or more. I was travelling very often and often working 12+ hour days for weeks on end. I look back on those days and just thinking about it reminds me of my constantly tweaking eyes, lack of sleep, constant hyperactivity, anxiousness, stress etc.

I stopped cold turkey for a while but nowadays have settled on more like 1-2 a day and never after a specific time of day (for me I hard stop at 3pm). Having any more than this or after this time kills my sleep immediately.

> The accident airplane was required to be equipped with a CVR that retained, at minimum, the last 2 hours of audio information, including flight crew communications and other sounds inside the cockpit.

>The CVR was downloaded successfully; however, it was determined that the audio from the accident flight had been overwritten. The CVR circuit breaker had not been manually deactivated after the airplane landed following the accident in time to preserve the accident flight recording.

Classic. If they use CD quality audio at 1411kbps, they can store 2 hours of audio in about 1.2 GB. Given how cheap flash is these days, why not 20x that so that we don't have to rely on people pulling circuit breakers after accidents? If there's some concern about robustness and recertification, why not require all aircraft to carry two CVRs, one of the old "robust" style for kinetic accidents, and one that's less robust but has 20x the capacity, so we can record a full day after less violent accidents?
Doesn't coffee impact sleep quality as well? At 6 cups a day, I'd expect some caffeine left in the body when sleeping.

> this can be and is used to defend the status quo in almost any field and can lead to complacency and a false sense of optimism

So, should we stick to lies about world becoming worse to not become complacent?

It is a highly politicized approach to the truth. The truth must be kept out of reach of political thinking. We need to keep our optimism at levels based on facts, not on our political goals. We need to stick to the truth based on empirical data even if it is not aligned with our political goals. At least if world wants to become much better.

I hate the way politicians argue their points. They ignore anything good about their opponents and anything bad about their own ideas. And maybe this is the reason why our world is not great.

> I don't like it when people say the system is great

I don't think anyone saying that. But from the other hand, our system is much better then it might be, and we'd better remember that, because if it wasn't, if we were in a local minimum, then we could change it in any direction to make it better. We need to remember that we are not at a minimum or a maximum, we need to think carefully about gradients before deciding were to move. So maybe we should say that our world is great, to not break it, to not make it worse?
But on the other hand, sometimes it's goatse.
No, because, like I said, GPTs are not legally allowed to represent individuals, so they cannot obtain malpractice insurance. You can make up an entirely ancillary kind of insurance. It does not change the fact that GPTs are not legally allowed to represent clients, so they cannot be liable to clients for legal advice. Seeing as how you think GPTs are so useful here... why are you asking me these questions when a GPT should be perfectly capable of providing you with the policy considerations that underline attorney licensing procedures.

Snap Misses Q4 Forecasts, Stock Plunges Sharply
How do you think organizations can best use the contractual interpretations provided by LLMs? To expand on that, good lawyers don't just provide contractual interpretations, they provide advice on actions to take, putting the legal interpretation into the context of their client's business objectives and risk profile. Do you see LLMs / tools based on LLMs evolving to "contextualize" and "operationalize" legal advice?

Do you have any views on whether context window limits the ability of LLMs to provide sound contractual interpretations of longer contracts that have interdependent sections that are far apart in the document?

Has your level of optimism for the capabilities of LLMs in the legal space changed at all over the past year?

You mentioned that lawyers hoard templates. Most organizations you would have as clients (law firms or businesses) have a ton of contracts that could be used to fine tune LLMs. There are also a ton of freely available contracts on the SEC's website. There are also companies like PLC, Matthew Boender, etc., that create form contracts and license access to them as a business. Presumably some sort of commercial arrangement could be worked out with them. I assume you are aware of all of these potential training sources, and am curious why they were unsatisfactory.

Thanks for any response you can offer.
> Consider that partitions are completely isolated from each other. Not some pesky soft isolation either, it's all done in hardware. In practice, every partition in a mainframe is a different logical yet isolated mainframe.

"Completely isolated in hardware" as in isolated by a software hypervisor (PR/SM) that doesn't have a whole lot of hardware support?

If new construction wasn't so aggressively blocked in some major cities (San Francisco, Boston, all of Canada it seems), then the rents would not be nearly as high as they are.

I’d love this, mostly because WhatsApp, surprisingly, provides far better UX than the Signal app.

For example, there is still no way to back up or export chat history from Signal. It’s about two taps to do this in WhatsApp. As much as I like being free of Meta’s grasp, I can’t really recommend a chat app that makes backups essentially impossible.
The same argument (who is it hurting if its notreal and viewed by a singular person?) is commonly used by organizations who would like to see the age of consent lowered / widespread legalization of child pornography.

I don't want to discuss it too much because there's enough nuance here for people to hang you with no matter what you say, but, a brief parable: I spent exactly 1 sentence pointing out to someone you could make porn with Stable Diffusion and they started hosting a SD instance for deep fakes in our non-technologist community with girls in it, and also started what I still think of as a "porn dungeon" chat room.

It was immensely frustrating trying to verbalize why this was antisocial and why there was a set of people who were legitimately upset by it. They never really understood fully.

But I'm sure they had moment with the Taylor Swift deepfake stuff from last week.

There's isn't really a 100% logical Spock reason why it's bad, other than other humans find it deeply distasteful.
Realistically support for more than one browser engine is going to increase security in aggregate since it would implicitly decrease the impact of a vulnerability. This has a compounding effect where a zero day for Safari would become less valuable on the black market and therefore become less incentivized to a degree.

To give an example: A single Safari engine bug could compromise all iPhones, but if the market share was say 50/50 with Chrome, then the impact of a security vulnerability would now be halved.

The other key thing you lose is your identity. In the fediverse, your identity is your Webfinger handle, ie @user@server.com. Your server is literally part of it. Sure, you can migrate to @user@newserver.com, and keep the username part, but your identity still changes.

Truly portable identity via DIDs, ie you can keep your underlying identity even if you migrate servers, is one of the key reasons the Bluesky team made their own protocol. https://atproto.com/guides/faq#why-not-use-activitypub
> Simply having more people doesn’t make the world better

That's literally what the original post says, that we should have more children alive (by less of them dying). I tried explaining how trying to have less children die will make us have fewer (alive) children as a whole.

I have also not mentioned anything about utilitarianism, I was following Max Roser's logic on this (I personally find that a Northern guy like Roser writing about what Africa should do about its children is pretty colonialist, but that's not relevant to this post).

This is just an entirely incorrect reading of what the grandparent comment said.

They are not saying that immigrants from some places are good, and immigrants from some other places are bad (or immigrants of one ethnicity vs. another). Regardless of whether you agree with them or not (which is a very valid thing to disagree with, if that’s how you feel), they explicitly said that the US gets “good” immigrants from those groups, while Canada gets more “mediocre” immigrants from those exact same groups.

There is no classification or separation by nationality/ethnicity going on in the grandparent comment, despite you treating it like there is.

I've stumbled over Rebrickable recently where you can enter a LEGO set number and get alternative models (MOCs) and build instructions for them (among other usages). For my children there is lots of fun in taking apart the car again and building a plane from the same parts. This also has the benefit of keeping the sets together (for now), so the original instructions can still be used without having to hunt for two 1x1 tile rounded in dark blueish gray in one of the two big boxes of parts.

It varies by set/model. Some of them are built and then played with, some are built, razed, built differently, demolished again. Some are built and then put on display. The pieces, even the specialized ones, are rarely the problem in building something completely different from what I can observe. They are, however, a problem when you have to find them again if you want to build the original model.
There is a movie version of "Japan's Longest Day".(1967). It's from Toho, and the Internet Archive has a subtitled version. This is a reasonably accurate account of the decision to surrender and the infighting around it, entirely from the Japanese side. Parts of the Army desperately wanted to continue the war. The war faction attacked the Imperial Palace, killed people there, tried to kill the Prime Minister but couldn't find him, and burned his house.

The senior Army leadership's thinking was not insane. They realized ultimate defeat was inevitable. If the Allies invaded and suffered high casualties, Japan might be able to negotiate better terms than unconditional surrender. The Emperor rejected that plan. The Minister of War and the Army chief accepted that decision. Some junior Army leaders still wanted to take that path and revolted.
The revolt was violent but unsuccessful. It was a close thing.

All this was after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Before that, surrender was not seriously considered.

Can’t speak for everyone but I have worked in this environment. It can work fine if you allocate a sub slice of CPU time (.1 CPU for example) and small amounts of (overcommitted) memory, and explicitly avoid using it for things that are more easily managed by cloud provider sub accounts and managed services. IE don’t force your devs to manage owncloud or a similar stand in for S3 - use something first party to stand in or S3 itself.

This doesn’t always work and the failure mode of committing to this can be doubling your hosting bill if it won’t run locally and densely packed small instances can’t handle your app.

> Freenode etc I'm sure iddn't suffer that drama much if any.

Freenode had all the drama and discovered how to kill off 99% of its use in just three easy steps: (see https://netsplit.de/networks/top10.php?year=2021 for the dramatic abruptness of its fall)

1. There was some drama over the new "owner" of freenode which resulted in most of the moderation staff leaving, planning to set up a new network (libera chat).

2. Most of the communities saw this drama and basically said "uh, we're still evaluating what the hell we're doing," with many opting in the interim to do something along the lines of have presence in both freenode and libera. Freenode responding by de-op'ing and kickbanning people from channels that mentioned libera in the topic. This resulted in pretty much every community still on the fence going "thank you for making the decision, we're now on libera, goodbye freenode."

3. A few months later, the network cleared its chanserv and nickserv lists and basically completely rebooted itself from scratch, to avoid the problems of legacy people.
