Unfortunately I pretty much have only ever seen negative comments about Eclipse on HN. It seems immensely unpopular and often the minute you mention it you'll get a bunch of often derisive replies. At this point I've had to come to terms with the fact that I'm the odd one out and own it, and that is how I do it. No disrepect meant, more acknowledgement of my own exceptionalism.
someone should train on all of pg essays and then ask LLM to write one essay per day using pg style.

I'm trying to learn more about expat life in Crete, Mallorca, Roatan, ...

Facebook groups like "Expats in Mallorca" are a treasure trove but rather unfriendly to skim through as a human reader. Similar for subreddits.

I was wondering if there's a way to scrape and feed the content into an AI platform which can then summarise it?

Next to technical challenge, it's probably also against T&Cs to scrape data from groups so are there any "legal" solutions?
What about privacy? Your whole argument seems to be that nobody deserves it.
Half the population has an IQ less than average - no lead (gasoline or otherwise required); it's part of the math of statistics.

As others state, tying lower IQ to TEL is sketchy at best.

Crypto will not be niche in the future. Bitcoin has a market cap of 1,349,125,982,176 (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/) and recently surpassed the market cap of gold itself and has large investors from Black Rock to Apple, ans recently got approved for ETFs which means the general population's 401k's will have bitcoin in them starting this year. Other crypto currencies may die out, but bitcoin is here permanantly.

If you haven't yet, buy some bitcoin and stop letting the government steal your hard earned money through inflation.
This would be similar to how airlines report their carbon emissions for each flight they post. I don't believe that it is currently a law and that they are required to do so, but I can support legislative effort to regulate posting that information for AI companies. Honestly, I don’t know how it would be done in practicality, considering that there could be many different computational sources used to generate the output that a user sees.

"Humans are bullshit generators" — Alan Kay
I've lived my whole life in a country with inflation. Its really not a big deal (to us anyway.) Wages rise with inflation to keep pace, investements take it into account ,we're not aiming for fixed-income pensions, and so on.

I know there's a generation in the US that haven't seen it before, so it's scary, but once employers get into step with it, it's really not.

Gentrification is a more complex issue, and tends to be quite local. But again it's normal for neighborhoods to revitalise every second generation or so.

Again though, your opening statement was viewed through the idea of money. And I get that you live in a world where this is the first (and often only) consideration. How might you see it differently though if you took a different primary goal?

Obviously the world you live in is the world you live in. So I'm not expecting your society to change. Rather I'm challenging you to imagine a different premise.
Funny you should ask...

I agree with you. The comparison to sailing across oceans in wooden ships to the 6mo journey to Mars is one I've made before. But also people were encountered in the Americas in every trip over that I'm aware of, and in both the sailing and spacing varieties feels more to me like a society extending it's reach than starting over. Maybe I'm wrong.
If you can't back up your claims it's fine. No need to be so unpleasant about it.

Can anyone in this rough field even comment on the long term benefits of such research? And why this needs to be in Cell? I’ve tried my best to attend as many neuroscience talks about work like this regarding place cells etc and keep walking out of them scratching my head what the point is in the long term.
With the right accent the title already rhymes.
The idea that "marsers" think mars is a liftraft to escape too from a dying earth is, as far as I can tell, an lie spread to discredit people interested in in mars colonization.

No one believes that mars is going to be a better/easier place to live than earth. It's idiotic, and only spouted by people that don't like the idea of Mars, and said to make "marsers" look like idiots in association.

Either way, some work conditions are so bad that it is a risk work to taking over a status quo that harms workers in a way they can’t stay in the industry very long regardless.

Rsync has been around along time and works great. I use it almost daily. SFTP has also been a solid option for quite a while. If you want a more permanent network share there's NFS.
The cycle keeps repeating in part because the people who do this kind of move fast and break (other people's) things crap in the beginning, whose behavior we excuse and paper over in the name of progress later on, are the ones who also accumulate commanding, NSA wealth and influence offstage. They thereby greatly contribute to setting the stage for future behavior like this, through their soft power influence - what sort of people they endorse, promote, and financially sponsor.

It should matter who gets rich. People have for too long been naively (or foolishly) swallowing the elite-favored narrative that someone else's money is none of anyone's business; a dynamically imbalanced moral which may have been weakly defensible in a byegone world that was far less tightly integrated, consolidating and wealth-connected than it has become.

Its amazing to me how AirDrop is such a big plus for Apple ecosystem even in 2024 given technologically it is one of the simplest things possible.
The innovation is purely on the alignment of interests Apple has and its competitors don't because they are all competing with each other and then also Apple.
In a world of endless moronic grifters, Yuval is one of the least of my concerns. You’d do better than 99% by adopting the ideals of a Professor of History who is a reasonable centrist and understands the value of spreading the topic of Sapiens and Homo Deus into a wider understanding, as opposed to yet another textbook.
They pocketed the sales tax and then never sent it to the government.
Fear of leaks, dealing with timezone differences that slow down the work, cultural differences leading to misunderstandings, or generally requiring more iterations to get the same result. Sure it might be cheaper even if it takes 10x as long, but games have tight roadmaps and hard deadlines so in some cases time may matter more than money.
What you just wrote reminds me of the song Secrets From the Future by MC Frontalot.

This sounds like it’s doing something similar to system integrity protection on mac+iOS where the security model is “root cannot write to kernel memory”. Because otherwise all you have to do is get root access to control a system, which is pretty easy given that getting root generally just means tricking the user into entering their password (because they’re generally in the sudoers group), or spying on other user processes (like xterm or whatever). Gaining root on a normal user machine is not hard if that’s your goal, and given a security model that depends entirely on not getting root it’s the obvious first step.
Probably wrote it on a dentist chair.
Klein v. Meta: Exhibit highlights Zuckerberg calling Harvard users "dumb fucks" [pdf]
The existence of the root user is bad security. Any distro serious about security should disable it and strip it of as much power as possible. It is such a juicy target for attackers due to how much power it has and most distros protect it poorly by having programs such as sudo installed allowing an attacker to easily escalate their privileges.

Also known as the Great Oxidation Event[0].

Although the event is inferred to have constituted a mass extinction,[7] due in part to the great difficulty in surveying microscopic organisms' abundances, and in part to the extreme age of fossil remains from that time, the Great Oxidation Event is typically not counted among conventional lists of "great extinctions", which are implicitly limited to the Phanerozoic eon. In any case, isotope geochemistry data from sulfate minerals have been interpreted to indicate a decrease in the size of the biosphere of >80% associated with changes in nutrient supplies at the end of the GOE.

>> Many humans never get in a situation where there is an interesting enough problem for them to create a solution or where a need or benefit is seen for them to create to fill that need or derive that benefit.

And yet new things sell really well. Which suggests that the need is there. By contrast creators look around and see need in everything.

>> The people who are thought of as creators are able to create quickly and a lot and often seemingly at will. This is essentially their primary skill and what sets them apart from others.

Exactly. Now don't get me wrong, 99% of their creations are rubbish. 99% of their ideas are quickly discarded. Some would require more resources than they have available. But they are forever experimenting, learning, understanding. They can't help it.
That’s simply not how people work. Everyone is programmed by environment and genetics. Breaking your programming requires a change in perspective (remember Alan Kay: “point of view is worth 80 IQ points”) — whether forced by circumstance, chemicals, or boredom.
The fallacy is contending that something is safe by comparing it favourably to an extremely unsafe activity. The takeaway of "you are more likely to die on the drive to the airport" should be "cars are dangerous" not "planes are safe". Planes are ~safe (save evidently for those made by Boeing post-2000), but why not say that the annual global death toll due to plane crashes (~500/yr) is comparable to that of hippopotamuses? Automobiles kill 1.2 million people per year.

Statistically speaking, being comfortable with driving makes no sense.
Similar strategy to Broadcom with VMware. Free products apparently don’t convert well enough to justify.
I don’t think more testing will lead to better quality games necessarily. My experience is testing always comes up with more bugs than devs can fix already.

> he later came down with lead poisoning again and had to take a leave of absence.

reminds me of the guy who made millions (billions?) selling identity theft protection theatre (LifeLock IIRC) by running an absurd ad campaign in which he put his own name and SSN in public advertisements for the service, and promptly had his identity stolen, and kept having stolen over and over for years.

But with hundreds of millions in the bank selling this scam he likely had plenty of other resources to mitigate the damage, resources his millions of customers likely do not.

I don't think I'd wait even 15 seconds. Maybe on average across all users because a lot of users have slower connections or devices so they're more patient. But I'd expect to have something in 3 or 4 seconds. Even that I consider slow. At probably 8 or 10 I'm gone.
Yes, certainly. When I say that foreign propaganda is easier to detect, it is because of the biases you mention.

And yes it makes sense that you don’t see the propaganda in the news you watch. My dad is a very smart man who has always liked Fox News and he genuinely can’t see the propaganda in it.

There are also ways that both Fox and CNN share the same views, and this narrow window of thought on the specific subjects they share in common is a key aspect of Chomsky’s Propaganda Model. In areas that get the left and the right emotionally charged at each other, there can be a pretty wide range of opinions expressed. And then in areas that affect certain ways that state and corporate power influence our lives, there is often complete agreement and zero discussion of dissenting ideas. These ideas are represented as base assumptions about the fabric of society that are considered so obviously true as to melt in to the back drop of the discussion, and be invisible to regular viewers.

Those are the ideas that are so vital for us to understand. Nothing will ever change as long as we keep arguing about trans people in bathrooms, gay marriage, and Taylor Swift’s political opinions. That lack of change is what the institutions in power want. What we need to understand to truly change things is ideas of radical democracy, worker power, equitable distribution of resources and universal rights for people and nature.

Those subjects will never be seriously discussed on Fox News or CNN.
Scale has a quality all its own.

You create a highly useful website full of dense hard earned knowledge. Some people will just use that knowledge, but a few create their own sites, using what they learned.

A company sweeps up hard earned knowledge from millions of sites, with automation but not permission, and goes a long way to making those millions of informational sites redundant without any compensation.

Simplifying things obviously. But these two scenarios are not equivalent.

Maybe you work in the hood where the moms are all on crack, but I kind of doubt that you do. What knowledge about learning do you have which is both non-obvious and which confers a measurable benefit to students? I haven't found that education is particularly data-driven, or found education specialists to be particularly impressive, so unless you're some teaching savant, I don't expect you'll have anything.

Also, knowing something about learning is different than being able to apply it; I know that apprenticeship in Austin is superior to sitting in a class of 35 students in Baltimore, but that doesn't matter if it's not going to happen
Why can't we agree there are differences between other human beings learning from other people and a multinational corporation learning from everyone at industrial scale, with industrial means?
If there's randomness, is there convergence and after how much (CPU, RAM, GPU, TPU, QPU) resource-time?

Also relevant, Indian courts have pushed out some silly orders in the past against Domain Registrars - such as blocking them from registering any domain names with the word "amul" as a prefix or suffix without the Amul Coop's approval[0]. This is obviously impossible to enforce (thousands of registrars across the world, and the scammers using such domains will just pick a different registrar). The court's next decision, which might be relevant here, was to block registrars. Gandi has been blocked by various Indian ISPs for about a year[1,2].

Namecheap is probably wary of this outcome (being blocked by Indian ISPs) and losing legitimate business.

I think the concept of a best essay is somewhat illogical, but exploring the idea like this makes an interesting post.

After all, the term "essay" was invented/popularized by Montaigne in a book of his writing called "Essays" - and "essay" is French for "to try." So from that context, essays shouldn't be concerned with finding answers or be the "best" but to make discoveries in the process of trying.
that behavior is indeed what i call Punish the Contrarian. As opposed to, eg, engage with the contrarian or debate the contrarian. This nitpicking tactic is not an argument at all but just an attempt to discourage the target from future attempts to present their position by exhausting their motivation to articulate it.
This sounds like a company organizational problem — if the ultimate goal is to get people to use your cloud and provide value, then why would you have metrics that diverge from what the customer sees as the important things? There should be somebody at Google actively talking to customers about what problems they have and communicating that to the engineers so they know what to improve. The organization should be structured so the engineers get the metrics they need or make it part of their job description to make the metrics.
You can certainly reduce smoking to see if lung capacity improves. I don't think it's reasonable to reduce smoking to see if that will cause an existing tumor to go into remission, for the same reason it's not reasonable to see if installing a blade guard on a saw will make a amputated finger reattach or regrow. The risk has manifested, and removing the risk factor is too late.

You'd need a large study to determine if stopping smoking reduces future risk of tumors; it's not something you can determine in a single person.

I admired Paul Graham's blog posts.. when I was an impressionable college sophomore.

Then I guess after I went to grad school and actually read a lot and tried to do some science and research. I find this kind of popular writing superficial, flawed, inefficient, and even conceited. That's just my subjective experience. But it seems some young people in tech just lap it up, he functions as a kind of thought leader for the industry.
I was talking to my brother about phones the other day and he has to have an iphone for work. He's a federal firefighter in the USA who was hot-shotting all last summer. When they're way out in the middle of nowhere with no cell and no central wifi routers anywhere they use AirDrop to transfer maps and stuff to team members before splitting up. Kinda interesting. Would this tool allow that kind of thing, e.g. for Android to iphone?
If you can't rename or delete a folder, yeah, I would say folders don't really exist.

Firstly, I wouldn't use the term "holding back", because creators aren't further up some evolutionary, or status, or whatever tree. They are just people.

But equally you misunderstand the precept. Creation is not about perfection, or skill, or success. Creation is an act.

Most kids learn to cook by following a recipie. But one kid in the class just wants to mix things together to see what happens.

Pretty much every kid draws on paper as a child. But some tiny fraction of them never stop. Yes, some of them get good at it, some lucky ones make a living at it. That's the urge.
IQ is indeed standardized to 100, however the underlying results are measurably different over time.

There is in fact an upward trend to IQ scores:

When IQ tests are revised, they are again standardized using a new sample of test-takers, usually born more recently than the first; the average result is set to 100. When the new test subjects take the older tests, in almost every case their average scores are significantly above 100.
