Agreed: NO juices!!

I don't have a problem with food addiction or cravings, so I am fine to eat a huge burger here and there. Since I don't have this particular addiction problem, I use the "elasticity of willpower" a lot. E.g. if you restrict yourself too much you might rebound the other way, so I give in to desiring a burger in a controlled manner, I don't crave it for the next week.

As for what is not sustainable: for diet, quitting things cold is not sustainable, as small portions will not hurt me and not cause me to crave them. Instead I end up giving up on quitting them, and then they are no longer controlled by portion size.

I do have problems with limiting alcohol and nicotine, so I don't even have 1 sip/drag of those items, so I do know what addictive behavior is.
I'm replying a bit late to this... but what you say is true in both cases. Ownership doesn't entail doing whatever you like. It's the same with many things. You may own a mortgage-free house, but you still need to pay property tax; there are restrictions on what you can do within that house (not least criminal law); etc.

But this doesn't affect the argument. In fact, it looks as though you agree with my suggestion, which is that being owed money (on a full-recourse basis) by Bob has a very strong resemblance to being a shareholder in Bob.
Exactly. Sure this particular example is driven by political rage, but the underlying issue is that the maintainers of these models are altering them to conform to an agenda. It's not even surprising that people choose to focus on the political rage aspect of it, because that same political rage is the source of the agenda in the first place. It's a concerning precedent to set, because what other non-political modifications might be in the model?

Webhooks' only dependencies are all common standards. They are platform agnostic and have a low barrier to entry. The reliability challenges are going to similar to any other self-hosted or self-managed infrastructure.

I get that you might want something better to shuttle a lot of data around between two apps but webhooks are relatively painless for a lot of straightforward interactions.

DNR: Do Not Retrain
Erm, how exactly do you think we’re going to educate people on the “normal” way of using a toilet, if it’s not educational signs above toilets?

Do you imagine some kind of toilet license? Where people have to take toilet train and demonstrate their competence in front of an examiner?

Or perhaps at every border, non-citizens are given mandatory toilet training.

Or perhaps you’re gonna follow everyone into to the toilet and tell them how to use it correctly.

Your issue is with people not learning your native culture, but your evidence for people not learning is educational material that teaches people your culture. So it does rather seem your problem is that your specific culture isn’t the world wide norm.

It's very similar to the wash-trading pump & dumps common in the crypto space.

Somehow it's illegal when a crypto company does it but not when a major tech executive does it.

As soon as you do that though, it becomes a nightmare to adjust anything about the protocol, and you end up with incompatible clients. So you can use the app perfectly with friend 1 that has the official app, but with friend 2 who uses one client, sending photos doesn't work, and with friend 3 voice calls don't work, and adding friend 4 to a group chat somehow breaks it entirely for everyone.

Friend 2 insists on using their client because it has dark mode, and for the average user, what they see isn't "friend 2 is extra and has a broken client", they see "that app fails to send pictures about a quarter of the time, let's use whatsapp".

But, who is it anti-competitive from or to? I wonder if there’s evidence out there that the cloud providers are selectively investing in AI companies that use their clouds. That would be a little sketchy I guess. But if Amazon, Microsoft, and Google all pump up AI companies generally with the expectation that it’ll generally benefit their sector, that seems… fine, I guess? Or at least not anti-competitive.

People are going to tell you why this isn't a major concern, but the main reason it doesn't matter is that it doesn't matter. There are chemical poisons every bit as nasty as anything in a nuclear reactor which have a half-life of ~forever and aren't that hard to make or obtain. You can't prevent this because they're simple compounds made of common elements.

People are afraid of nuclear because of its association with nuclear weapons, not because there is anything uniquely dangerous inside the reactor worse than things in chemical plants all over the place that nobody pays any attention to.

Next CFO: "Line went down due to previous CFO. Time for Layoffs."
Agreed. This was one of the most underwhelming conclusions to an article I've seen in a while. Given the domain name of the blog, I thought Deno was offering some sort of next-generation webhook alternative that would actually be good. Instead, the "solutions" to webhooks (which are great, btw) are... workflow builders and in app IDEs? What the hell?
ChatGPT the only model I did not have such problem.

Any local models can go off the rail very easily and more importantly, they're very bad at following very specific instructions.
One reason might be that `text/*` files follow the POSIX standard for text files [1], where no lines can exceed `{LINE_MAX}` bytes in length (and `LINE_MAX` depends on your OS).

I don't believe the YAML spec has any rules on how long lines can be, so this means that some files won't technically be text files. (and some UNIX tools line-based tools might not work correctly on them).

> there are many, many diagnostic tests that can rule ADHD out with very good certainty

What data do you have to support this? Based on some of the research I read coupled with anecdotal experiences I have witnessed in others, ADHD is not that difficult to fake.

I do not think a majority of people with ADHD are faking anything either. I just don't think the diagnostic process is as robust as people want to believe.

Before anyone gets up in arms, I have ADHD too. However, I imagine these test to be something like a diagnostic test to determine if an animal is a fish or not. Does the creature live in water? Does the creature have fins? Etc..

So, if a creature checks all the boxes, then is it a fish? What if I analyze a dolphin? Dolphins have fins, dolphins live in water, etc..

My point is that we cannot prove one has ADHD beyond a reasonable doubt. No biomarkers, no scans, or anything of the like. Thus, how can we claim the diagnostic tests are accurate when we can't even definitively find what they are supposed to diagnose? It seems to me that science has the "tail," but still can't find the "donkey" to pin it on.

Now do understand, I do not doubt that ADHD exists. ADHD has damn near ruined my life. However, I do question the accuracy of our understanding of it. We know stimulants help a select group of people, perhaps somewhat more than others, but even then, our understand of why stimulants are effective are still merely hypothetical. Stimulants are also not effective for everyone with ADHD.

I am glad we are willing to help people prior to having all the answers for it's been beneficial to my life. I understand our condition has faced a lot of stigma, and research has tried it's best to combat the stigma and false perceptions, but I feel like the trust in research can sometimes swing too far in the opposite direction. There are plenty of unknowns, and I truly think we have long, long way to go.

My cholesterol dropped from 250 to 200, and I do expect it to fall further as I shave off more rough edges from my diet.

What "shaving the rough edges off" looks like is making a slightly healthier choice on my 2 meat meals per week, e.g. single patty burger, skip the cheese, or have a 4 oz steak. Drinking only half the mango lassi, or skipping the milkshake.

I also dropped from 215 to 205 lbs. 200-205 lbs is my healthy weight, with 11-13% body fat.
I've worked at several places that had self-serve snack bins that you were expected to pay for, but the machine was just a pay kiosk, not a vending machine.

Typically, the way these operations work is that either the employer contracts out the snack bin to a vendor, or the employer buys the snacks themselves, then charges the employees for them. In either case, if the expectation is to pay for the snacks, and you don't, that's theft.

I have complicated opinions about whether or not an employer should charge their own employees for break-room snacks, but once an employer decides that they should charge for the snacks, then the loss is clear when a snack is taken without paying.
Yep, same paper, same reason. Paper isn't any better than before. And you're making the same "I don't understand" reply, despite someone responding to you last time with the answer.

> But if an employee, on their last day at work, decides to offer the next person calling all of the seats on a single flight for just $10, I think we'd all agree that it would be unreasonable to expect the airline to honor that offer.

The airline is free to go after the lying employee for compensation if they find out too late. It is never acceptable for the airline to cheat their customers.

Most mental health problems manifest differently in different cultural contexts.

Westerners generally have a reasonable understanding of anxiety as a psychological problem and are comfortable talking about it as such and seeking treatment for it. In developing and middle-income countries, depression and anxiety more often present as physical symptoms like digestive problems, pain, fatigue and muscle weakness. These patients will typically meet the standard diagnostic criteria for depression or anxiety if they're asked, but that's not how they conceptualise their problem.

A raft of other things that would be diagnosed in the west as obvious psychiatric disorders are, in less psychologically-aware places and times, simply chalked up as personal problems or personality differences.

I can certainly think of older members of my family who have "trouble with their nerves", a "bad stomach" that only flares up at times of acute stress or "funny turns" that look very much like panic attacks. I can think of an eccentric aunt who lived alone and obsessively collected teapots and never quite got the hang of small talk or eye contact. I can think of many men who came back from the war with a violent temper and a crippling fear of loud noises. A lack of diagnosis does not necessarily reflect a lack of pathology.

It's certainly plausible that some western countries (and America in particular) might over-pathologise normal distress as psychiatric disorder, but it's clear that many people in less-developed countries often face avoidable suffering due to a lack of diagnosis and treatment, particularly people suffering from the most severe disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

I'd like to note that the United States is in fact extremely good at assimilating immigrant groups and has done so successfully numerous times.

Honestly, I see little evidence it is doing any worse at assimilation than in, say, the early 1900s.

Curious to see if this thread gets flagged and shut down like the others. Shame, too, since I feel like all the Gemini stuff that’s gone down today is so important to talk about when we consider AI safety.

This has convinced me more and more that the only possible way forward that’s not a dystopian hellscape is total freedom of all AI for anyone to do with as they wish. Anything else is forcing values on other people and withholding control of certain capabilities for those who can afford to pay for them.

Samsung is not the reason why iMessages can't be sent to Android users or to Windows devices. Samsung does not decide which platforms Apple will and won't support.

Coordination with even Google would not be necessary for Apple to offer encrypted conversations with users on other devices. There's no rule saying they need to use an open standard or a Google standard or be cross-compatible with another app. It's not that Apple is trying desperately to get iMessage onto other phones and failing because Google and Samsung just won't let them do it.

Of course, Google has its own problems[0]. But the inability to use the Messages app to communicate securely with Android users[1], is solely 100% Apple's decision. Apple does not need to ask permission or coordinate with any other company to increase that security, they would just need to throw a messaging app up on the app store.

Heck, they wouldn't need to support iMessage on Android. They could throw a messaging app up that had no encryption other than that it worked over HTTPS and data instead of SMS when messaging iOS users, changed nothing about the capabilities or features that they supported for non-iMessage users, and even only doing that -- if Android users could download it and set it as their default SMS client on Android then iPhone security would be better.

----

As a comparison here, if Signal dropped support for iOS tomorrow, would you blame Apple for not building support for Signal into iOS? No, that would be absurd to suggest. No one would claim that Apple had some obligation to support the Signal protocol or make Signal compatible with iMessage, or to build an open protocol -- we would all correctly point out that Signal decides where to make its app available. The same is true of Apple. The fact that you literally can't make many Messages conversations secure without completely abandoning the app and using a separate 3rd-party service for those conversations -- it is purely and entirely the result of a decision that Apple has made.

----

[0]: And in fact their proprietary encryption standard is no better than Apple's and they're pulling the exact same crap as Apple is for the same flimsy reasons.

[1]: Note that I don't say non-Apple users, you can have an iMessages account through other devices and you still won't be able to use it with an Android phone number.

I'm guessing what's happening is that Google doesn't really care and is not really incentivised (in the short term) to provide high quality search results. It wouldn't make enough profit to work on that. And if any competitors become threatening enough they have ways of bringing them down that are cheaper than maintaining product or technical supremacy.
