I'm sure the industry as a whole is shady, it's ripe for con men/women. But there's good people in it too. I have a weight loss coach that falls into the umbrella of life coaching. I pay her $50/month and we talk twice a week, set goals for the week and she checks to see if I achieved them and offers suggestions on how to attain them.

It's simple accountability and she's pleasant to talk to. I certainly don't feel like I've been taken advantage of, and she's helped me reframe some of my thinking so I can set achievable goals instead of beat myself up over missing them.

Hard for a community of devs to sympathize with a leader who did not admit to their own incompetence and instead of stepping down fired 250 devs while giving herself a raise.

She was simply a parasite and her character is being attacked because her character is fucking awful. With enough money for her family to live comfortably on for eons she fucked with hundreds of lives while driving a business into the ground.

What I don’t understand is people’s blind worship of the upper class and their entitlement to firing hundreds of people while boosting their salary while being incompetent and how they deserve to have nice things said about them when they leave the company they exploited.
Aaronson mentions this in his post re: 'lower resolution' and entropy. It's a fair point you make.

It's not known if any 'parent' universes would be subject to the same timeframes as we are, though. By rights on that point their universe would operate more slowly from our frame of reference as per having more stuff/energy in their universe and ours potentially being a subset of theirs.

There's some "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" chicken-and-egg problems to solve: tech thinks of itself as inherently white collar and closer to upper management and riches rather than blue collar and closer to the masses and collective problems. Not all Unions are "blue collar", of course, but there's definitely a perception problem to fix if you are starting from the "temporarily embarrassed millionaire individual on the fast track" mindset seeing how unionization can apply to you.

This is what i get from Gemini:

You should pull the door. Here's why:

Mirror writing: While the word "push" is written on the door, it's in mirror writing. This is a common way to indicate that the action needed to open the door is the opposite of what's written.
Safety: Mirroring the word "push" on a pull door is a safety measure. This helps prevent people from pushing against the door, potentially causing injury or damage to the glass.
Common practice: This design is quite common for glass doors in public places, so it's safe to assume the opposite of what's written applies unless there are other clear instructions.
Therefore, even though the word "push" is present, seeing it in mirror writing on a glass door strongly suggests that pulling the door is the intended way to open it.

I feel like developing consumer software products that focus on privacy is like pouring a glass of water on a forest fire. If the goal is a free, fair, and private web then those need to be the most economical and profitable values for all software developed on the web. If Mozilla offered developer focused product suites that made it so it was super cheap and easy to develop a website that was private by default then markets would do the rest.
I think there was kind of a need for such a software, not just phones. But not sure why Mozilla was the company to deliver that. And not sure it would be a money maker.

I think looking at actions around elections in Pakistan through a western lens can lead to false conclusions easily. Let me try and explain through an analogy.

Suppose a US political party (A) decided it wanted to win the US elections no matter what. And it had enough clout, "campaign contributions", among the various government agencies (courts, police, FBI) to make it happen. But it just didn't have the votes to make it happen. So it used the court system to declare an entire opposite party (B) as in-eligible to run the country. If you support Republicans/Trump, think Trump is found in-eligible and the entire Republican party is too. If you support Democrats, think Biden and the entire Democrat party are banned from running in elections. That means every single member of the house that claims to be from party B is banned as running for that party. And this isn't done 2 years in advance, but mere days/weeks from the election.

That sounds entirely undemocratic, right?

Now the party B figures out that it represents the will of the people enough and it has enough votes that it could not only run but has a decent chance at winning. So, the members decide to run as Independents. How do you communicate this to the voters quickly? When Charlie goes in to vote for someone from B, how does he find out who to vote for?

Now, add another issue to the mix. Party A really wants to win (when it can't in an ideal democracy) so it makes it difficult to vote for people in districts where it knows it is unpopular. Alice, Bob and Charlie can be living in the same household but get assigned 3 different voting locations. Imagine they all live in Dallas, TX and get asked to vote in 3 different locations in Fort-Worth, Garland and Irving.

Now, the only way Charlie can still vote for the candidate that he thinks represents his views the best is to make use of websites to look up where to vote and which candidate is associated with the now-banned party B. Without internet and other sources of instant and mass communication, Charlie can't do that.

As a result of these actions, party B loses the election and party A wins.

Please note this is a very biased - but plausible - way to interpret the events around the current elections in Pakistan. But hopefully that perspective helps on why blocking the internet and controlling the means of communication is so important to certain individuals, companies, and political parties in Pakistan. And also why we can't look at the situation from the outside and fully understand the nuances at play.
Even if every single person that is aware of how problematic Chrome's dominance is would switch to Firefox right now, that wouldn't move the needle in any measurable way.

When it comes to quasi-monopolies like this, the "problem" are the passive consumers that will just use whatever comes pre-installed and pre-configure (and when it comes to browsers isn't associated to Microsoft). Coincidentally, that behavior is also what keeps Firefox/Mozilla alive by being able to charge for the default search engine configuration.
Netscape, on its deathbed (and I think due to Baker's efforts, in part), open-sourced the Netscape code. Mozilla was created by ex-Netscapers, developed that code, and released a few versions of a Mozilla browser, which followed Netscape's idea of integrating browser, mail client, webpage editor, other stuff (maybe IRC client?).

Sometime later, a few Mozillians decided the web and Mozilla needed a simple, sleek, fast browser, and built Firefox.

Computation call still have non-determinism. For example, the computation gives e.g. 2 possible options at every step (both physically valid). Then a "consciousness" decides which of the 2 options it prefers, and that's the part we'll see and the other part of the tree is simply not observed.

So you can compute it to some extent, just not fully.
Everything is biased. NPR seems to be fairly consistent quality, but I'm always open to alternatives! What do you use instead?
Depending on how a simulation works, it could introduce phenomena or artifacts like results of numeric approximations into the universe that can be tested for.

I would argue that unless the universe is using some sort of compute saving heuristic, then it is not in fact a simulation, even if it can be, and is run on a computer of some kind, because in that case it has its own independent “existence” in a mathematical sense. For example, if we could “run” an exactly identical copy of our own universe on a computer without errors, it is not really a second universe, but the same one, in the same sense that I could write out an equation and solve it on paper, or solve it with a computer algebra system, but they are still the same equation not two equations. This is based on the assumption or idea that mathematical existence is identical to physical existence.

Sort of, yeah. Consider how many command line programs will accept a file as an input parameter vs. how many will accept an SQL query.

Existing tooling is predominantly designed to work with files so depending on what you're trying to accomplish, you may have a lot more work to do when using a database.

That takes most of my use cases. "logic" is what makes GPT often feel like AGI.

Use cases like translation seem less impressive in comparison to logical reasoning because it feels like it's just something where you can throw a lot of data and it'll do better. While with logical reasoning it still feels like model "learned" something more than pure pattern matching

Why? Why does pointing mozilla in the right direction require such rare skills?

Or is this because we're only looking at existing CEOs for hiring?

If the rareness is about having the right industry knowledge and vision in a CEO, I bet you can get better results by hiring a company aimer and separate managerial co-CEO and using the money you save for 20 more devs and 5 more marketers.

So the people farming Octopuses are not a reliable source of information about whether it's ok to farm them.
My only rationale for why it's OK for me to eat pigs is that the pigs would definitely eat me if the opportunity arose, and in this respect they are different from say, cows, or indeed octopuses, which show no inclination to consume human meat.

If you (as sometimes happens to farmers) drop dead in a pig sty after not long the pigs will eat you because you're food and they're hungry.

Yes, that functionality is so basic that it has always been part of the phone itself. If I get an unimportant notification, my phone plays a quiet beeping sound. If I get a wechat message, my phone plays a louder ringing sound. I can tell the difference from across the room. I can tell the difference while the phone remains in my pocket. So could you. Distinguishing sounds that were never similar to begin with is not a difficult task.

What is the watch adding? Were you having trouble distinguishing calls from notifications before?
I agree that it's deeper than just dopamine addiction. I think the phone provides relief from our deepest insecurities. For me, I found putting down the phone (and alcohol) came much more easily when I addressed the real issues I was trying to escape from or find answers to.

Musculoskeletal injuries represented the vast majority (88.43%) of the 191 encounters registered in the acute setting, while concussions were diagnosed in only 1.57%. The most common orthopedic motorcycle injuries were upper extremity contusions while the most common anatomical area for fractures was the hand.

Using your real identity anywhere online is a terrible idea. I'm not sure exactly when it happened that it became normal but I'm guessing social media is why.

I see two problems:

1. You can never be truly honest. Everyone has a side they don't project when their reputation is on the line. With a pseudo you can project it, and dump the name if things get too hot. Maybe your opinion is en-vogue today but worthy of real life harassment later. Maybe you are a person who belongs to a group of people that are not well liked. Maybe alphabet soup agencies want you. Who knows - all you know is you can't predict the future.

2. It encourages validation seeking behavior. Evidence: social media. Professionally, linkedin is a shithole of validation seeking losers posting below-the-fold faux-philosophy and/or corporate shilling. These people likely wouldn't do this if their identity was not attached to a face, an address, and a company.

Overall, it's a net loss to use your real identity. For the last 25 years I haven't needed to tell anyone online my real identity and I won't for the foreseeable future. I have plenty of friends on IRC and other places that only know me by my handle. This is not a bad thing.

> iTunes’ emphasis was on collecting, experiencing, and enjoying an art form.

I get much more enjoyment out of experiencing new music through radio functionality in Apple Music or Spotify than wasting time "collecting". It expands my horizons rather than limiting myself to what I already know I like.

There's nothing passive about recommendations. I hear a new song I like, I go to research the artist, I start a new radio station based on them, find other artists I didn't know before... it's far more active and stimulating than just listening to the tracks I already know on repeat.
