Unlike other browsers at the time, why was it decided not to even read RSS xml files and show them like a nice page like other browsers? Even now RSS shows up as raw xml.

Edit: reread your comment. I guess it was because this could be done using an extension. I believe this to be the main reason for lowering adoption / use of RSS with rise of chrome. To this date chrome shows raw xml when you open RSS xml while other browsers give you something interesting and readable to look at and even let you subscribe to that interesting page.
The wild thing is, that’s almost exactly what Netscape was doing back in mid and late 90s. I think the commercial versions (ie the one you bought in a box at Babbage’s or Electronic Boutique), had an HTML editor, and some more integrated file types. I don’t really remember. I never bought it, because the free beta version was enough.
I too love MUDs / MOOs.

I still miss some of the features that Discworld Mud had, and mainstream gaming hasn't warmed to. Strange currencies, complex banking, different in-game languages, convenience features gated in RP ways (the Taxi guild of portal wizards!), etc. The conventional wisdom holds that that'd be far too much friction for modern games, but it contributed so much to making the world feel more than an inch deep, which is something modern gaming needs all the help with it can get.

I also think scripting in LambdaMOO may have been my gateway drug to coding. Once I learnt I was able to expand the world myself, I was intoxicated. Yib's Guide to MOOing [0] is a great read for anyone interested in how that all used to work.

And the social scene of these services in the 90s and early 00s is hard to describe. Honestly, @go #17 in LambdaMOO at its height felt more like the Metaverse to me than anything Facebook has made to date.

Random thought: Every IDE I've used gives me the folder structure of the project on the left as a standard directory tree. Does any support navigating a project as a graph of dependencies?
Yeah, pushing current CPUs (Intel and AMD both) as far as they'll go is well into the diminishing returns. For AMD HW I'd likewise recommend using one of the "Eco" modes. The single-digit percentage points you get out of those last few hundred MHz really don't move the needle on productivity workloads, and the power draw reduction is substantial. It also makes the machines much quieter under load.

That is an interesting perspective, I had never considered the JS ecosystem to be cash strapped but I see what you mean. Aside from big institutions supporting some of the leading frameworks there is a limited amount of paid products and an expectation that things be open sourced. JS has a lot of man hours in its ecosystem but they are into thousands of individual projects, not holistic frameworks.
Yeah, considering it would be most coveted job and best of the best in town would be falling over each other to be a toilet attendant. It naturally would lead to some of the finest toilet experience one can have.
The really crazy thing is that the original pledge of allegiance made no reference to god at all. It was added as late as 1954, when Congress passed a law which added the words “under God” after “one nation.”

A year later Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American boy, was brutally murdered in Mississippi after allegedly flirting with a white woman. His killers were acquitted by an all-white jury. But ya know, at least we shoehorned religion into our pledge.

Following a "symbol" (a religion, a flag, whatever) that can't be properly quantified scares the shit out of me.

Your "definition" was that there is no such thing. If you're unwilling to concede that any of the above are "police states", let's just call them repressive authoritarian regimes which regularly violate their citizens' human rights as understood by democracies. If you don't see any difference, there's really no point in arguing it with you; you can keep saying 2+2=5, or asking people to explain it like you're a child, but your tiresome line of bad faith argumentation has already been dignified with more responses than it deserved.
It's usually not all but there's an outlier in there somewhere. Many are critically ill. Some are on dialysis. Many are sick and yet refuse to take their medicine, and yet insist on doing heavy labor.

There's also some who can't go to the bathroom without help. These aren't dangerous, but they require a lot of attention. There's dementia. There's people who poop on the ground then sort their shit.

But many overlap with the above - the ones who can't move about pick up all kinds of illnesses. Pills for both mental health and physical health damage the organs, and so on.

We do see them cutting costs where possible, but nobody can do this on their own in a shift. An old lady who has fallen off her bed can be carried by 1-2 strong people with the right technique, but you still have the others. There's also the question of nobody wanting to do so. We interviewed a bunch of maids to see if they'd take care of the elderly, and nearly all rated it as their last option, compared to watching kids, cleaning cat litter, cooking, etc. There's the legal liability of being the caretaker of a paying customer who's at death's door. Many of the people who leave them there do not care about them, won't even visit them during holidays, they're just paying someone else to watch them die.
Well sure, but in Russia’s case, the average income is incredibly low and their wealth disparity is even more extreme than in the USA. I don’t know how any of that relates to the war point
there already is extraordinary evidence of GPT-4's superhuman diagnostic abilities. One anecdotal example is this:

https://www.today.com/health/mom-chatgpt-diagnosis-pain-rcna...

Another study regarding GPT-4 beating human experts:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.04.20.23288859v...

Lots of data is pointing to the same conclusion: GPT-4 is at least as good if not better than human experts in medical diagnosis, at least in the areas studied. Thus the probability of a correct diagnosis is higher, thus safer, with GPT-4 than with any individual human expert.

There is a term, "Real Economy". playing on the stock market is not real economy, producing steel is. In the last 30 years, a huge change took place - we had something called Financialization, now the 'real economy' is only a small fraction of actually economy, and is dwarfed by financial markets and various bullshit.
Eh, but "rules" only get you so far. There's tons and tons of situations where a human with eyes just needs to make a decision to "make it work." That's where "systems-based" engraving falls apart. It comes with practice and experience of doing the art over and over, and encountering all those little nuances in real scores and figuring out how to solve them.
That may be true, and it may be of personal value to pursue this for yourself. That's different from socially badgering others into it at group events.
Sorry for asking what I could Google for myself - do they not charge ISP customers for data received? Are they double, or even triple-dipping?
Here are some ways to check with other songs if you've got a range that can handle "The Star-Spangled Banner" (SSB).

• Starting from the note you would like to start SSB with, start singing "What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor" (DS). That repeats the opening note though to the "drun" and then drops a fifth for the "ken". A fifth is also the lowest SSB goes below its starting note, so if you are OK with the first drop in DS you should be fine with the low parts of SSB.

Alternatively you can use the "Flintstones" (FS) theme. It drops a fifth from the "flint" to the "stones".

To check the high end, "Over The Rainbow" (ORB) works. The jump in the first word, "somewhere", from the "some" up an octave to the "where" is the same as the interval from the start of SSB to the highest note of SSB.

That actually fits in nicely with DS. After that drops down a fifth in the middle of singing "drunken" the next word, "sailor" goes back up in a couple thirds to get back to the starting not. So just keep going from there but switching to ORB.

• Instead of checking from the note you want to start with, you can check from the lowest note you can comfortably handle.

Starting from that low note, start singing "Scarborough Fair" (FAIR). This jump in "are you going" from "you" to "going" is a fifth. Then switch to ORB. So sing "are you going somewhere over the rainbow" starting with FAIR melody and switching to the ORB melody at "somewhere".

If you can reach the high note on "where" you've SSBs range covered.

Instead of FAIR you can use the opening two notes of the "Star Wars" them or of "Also Sprach Zarathustra".

In Europe they make tests and those who score best are admitted. The dean has a small list (10 out of 1000?) that they can admit freely.

But I guess if scoring was objective, then mostly Asian and Jewish people would be admitted?

Ahh yeah I was trying to help you repurpose these circuits given the new information. But perhaps that's not possible.

It sounds very similar to what happens with love. In my experience, at least, when you love someone you build up these circuits that care about the other person and you cannot break them down, it seems. You can ignore them but then there's this part of your brain you're ignoring.

So perhaps you could say you were/are literally in love with the idea.

More likely a functional radon source. With all the torched thorium mantles and radium dials, he was definitely getting plenty of that (and the subsequent daughter products).

I'm not sure you're actually doing the math for these long contexts. A naked transformer generating 1k tokens with 1k prompt is spending all its time doing a bunch of forward passes to generate each token- that's what's driven your intuition. A naked transformer generating 1k tokens with 1M prompt is spending all its time generating the embeddings for the prompt (filling the kv cache), and then the iterating generation at the end is a tiny fraction of the compute even if you have to run it 1k times

You can fly over the same spot in four different directions and get four different readings.

You can fly over the same spot at four different times of day and get four different readings.

You also really want nine magnetometers, one for each X,Y,Z axis and repeated on each wingtip and tail boom.

If you're going to filter like a professional you need a base station to record the diurnal flux and subtract that in post, you also need to fly calibration clover leafs in a magnetically level wide area and develop a Kalman filter to subract heading generated flux.

There's also the active magnetism compensation caused by the aircraft and its components, such as
engine accessories, engine masses, avionics, current generated on the fuselage and other factors. If you're running a small fleet of aircraft to cover a million line kilometers or are otherwise pooling results into a standard magnetic map collection each aircraft will need to have its signature influence removed.

If you're mapping entire countries over decades then, of course, everything needs to be levelled against the changing IGRF (Internatinal Geomagnetic Reference Field), or the other one (there's another standard global magnetic reference field).

Then there's the question of just how small an iron rich rock you could reasonably get a blip from.

The article isn’t as hyperbolic as you’re suggesting it is. It admits that there are cases where the benefits of solving the problem outweigh sustaining it. The existence of a generalizable pattern does not imply the wold reduces solely to the pattern. It is not conservative to say institutions try to preserve themselves nor to suggest that government institutions, systems, and entities are equally susceptible to the plight of preservation, even inadvertently. Traditional conservatives are allergic to change and the conservative mindset may be at fault for institutions behaving conservatively… but we won’t have that discussion if you write off a rather wise observation as politicized anti-government propaganda.
In the case of a Swede who tried to do it, he had multiple psychological diagnoses such as autism and mostly saw it as a fun experiment. People online encouraged him which played a part. I reckon they often value the risk differently. In his case, he even called and asked if his actions were legal, which resulted in the police arresting him.
To reiterate, absolutely.
One thing I’m curious about here is how BlueSky can credibly commit to only use the open portions of the protocol. BlueSky appears to be de facto quite centralized – given that, it seems like there’s no technical reason why first-party BlueSky clients have to be ATProto clients. Obviously it would be a major betrayal of user trust to do so any time in the near-to-medium-term future, but it seems like the de facto decentralization of ActivityPub gives stronger guardrails here.

I mean, that's also a roastery, not just a "reserve" location, and that's the New York location which might as well be the Times Square Apple Store compared to some small town Apple Store.

Other reserve locations, such as this one in Tokyo https://maps.app.goo.gl/diFWHoByG3783V8u5 or this one in Vancouver https://maps.app.goo.gl/HGWsXsinAparQ7bGA are pretty much "slightly bougier" locations that as far as I know don't really have anything unique going on, with the exception that you can sometimes get shitty coffee made in a siphon brewer.

The roasteries always seem to get that special touch though.
Easy. The council puts up a sign saying the overgrown grass is for a rewilding or carbon sink initiative. Much cheaper than mowing it.
I mean... really? For the same reason that instrumentalists and vocalists have been constantly fiddling with the original printed note since the dawn of music by adding vibrato, playing in octaves, etc. Because they want to show off. I'm neither condoning nor condemning the practice of embellishment, but it should be obvious why people do it.

A close friend of mine went down the ChatGPT medical rabbit hole last year. He was disagreeing with his doctors and getting deep into supplements and unproven medical theories.

ChatGPT was instrumental in convincing him that he was correct and his doctors were wrong. He would post his ChatGPT conversations as proof, but we could see that his prompts were becoming obvious leading questions.

He would phrase things like “Is it possible for {symptoms} to be caused by {condition} and could it be treated by {herbal product}?” Then ChatGPT would give him a wall of text saying that it’s possible, which he took as confirmation of being correct.

It was scary to see how much ChatGPT turned into a mirror for what he wanted to be told. He got very good at getting the answers he wanted. He could dismiss answers that disagreed as being hallucinations or being artifacts of an overly protective system. With enough repeat questioning and adjusting his prompts he could get it to say almost whatever he wanted to hear.

ChatGPT is rocket fuel for hypochondriacs. Makes WebMD look tame.
> Why is Russia winning the war despite having a fraction of GDP compared to its western opponents?

This was a huge eye-opener for me, the fact that we are spending 20x more on the military industrial complex and yet it cannot supply enough shells and bullets for the war, to me, indicates that all of our posturing is a bad joke.

Either there is huge waste and abuse in the system, or we've literally set Ukraine up to lose.

We live in a society. The government takes 40-50% of your income every year so you can support the other people who are part of the same society. It allows you to survive and protects you from those that would harm you both internal and external. Saying a short affirmation of loyalty to that entity once in a while seems pretty mild in comparison.

Physics allows a method to measure distance in a way that can't be faked...

Simply do a challenge-response query between key and car and time how long to get the (correct) response back... If it takes more than 10 nanoseconds, then the key is more than 10 feet away. No attacker can break the laws of physics.

Obviously doing much crypto in 10 nanoseconds is a problem, but it turns out the crypto can be calculated ahead of time, effectively letting you just boil the whole thing down to a non-fakable ping.
Interestingly enough the model produced what he wanted - a useful anecdote to introduce the concept in his blog. The made up nature of the anecdote did not diminish that point.

I was looking to use both. Actually. I discovered FASTER when looking to port durable functions to php (it’s called durable-php if you want to google it, though the implementation is nothing like it) and the netherite engine uses faster.

It’s perfect for my use-case, more so now than when I originally researched it as a possibility. Back then, I didn’t even have threading solved for php. Now that’s all a solved problem (threads ftw) and I’m refactoring log storage now to better support things like faster.
No but the training from all these different people combined in one model would make it pretty average I would think.

You could argue it gives the impression that the culture of the company is primarily technical, given that the technical and anime communities have a huge overlap.

> We (mostly) don't create money out of thin air. We borrow it

This is the same thing - when you go to the bank to get a loan, the money is created out of thin air. It simply appears in a database. It is not the money someone has deposited in the bank. The only reason the bank has to keep reserves is for stability in case of bad loans.
