There are multiple cases which aren't automatically dismissed due to this loss, including the defamation claim against Hodlonaut and the case over open source developers owing wright a fiduciary duty to author, publish, and (somehow) enforce a back door to recover billions of dollars worth of coins he says he lost the keys to.

As far as appeals go, determinations of fact are generally not appealable unless there was a clear error. Permission to appeal would have to be sought and aren't automatic.

If the judgement and remedies aren't forceful enough in this case, Wright may just begin the same litigation from another jurisdiction. On the stand he basically said that if he loses he will begin litigation on patent infringement grounds-- it isn't like having a baseless position has ever stopped him before.

To some extent it depends more on his funders willingness to keep financing him than anything else... he's given every sign that so long as he's funded and not incarcerated he'll keep it up.
There is no recourse except not to play. The end user has no choice. Sounds like a dictatorship.
There's pretty broad consensus that Craig Wright is a pathological liar. And I'm not using that as an idiom for "dishonest person", I mean it in the psychiatric term of art sense [0]: he probably has an actual compulsion to lie stemming from some kind of psychological damage, which doesn't stop even when he's caught red-handed (he just invents new even more outrageous lies, even when that's nakedly against his own self-interest). This is confirmed not just by all his behavior re: Bitcoin, but his own mother said at one point he has been like this his whole life. It's. In earlier days of Bitcoin it was causing actual problems, but these days everyone treats him as a carnival amusement and nothing more.

Umm shoplifting and crime is up. When is the last time you’ve been to San Francisco? Just like we didn’t have a border crisis when liberals were all anti-ice and anti border-wall. Naive, and fog of their own political fantasy ideologies.

So, I agree that I don't think a software project solves the problems the post starts out with. However, I wonder if the project can be used to solve other issues?

For example, I think there's a spectrum of knowledge-base like solutions, but the middle of the spectrum is often poorly served:

- wikipedia: global, canonical reference material. Is very good, and we almost all use it in some fashion.

- confluence/notion/gh-wiki: team knowledge base. Often spotty, stale, neglected.

- logseq/obsidian/org-mode: personal knowledge base, notes. Typically very idiosyncratic, sketchy, but can work very well for the people who put effort into it.

What if a "federated wiki" was targeted at the team/personal level? I'm not saying this is Ibis in its present form, but imagine:

- You keep your personal notes and knowledge store, in a way which is always implicitly contextualized against corresponding info (or lack of info) in the team knowledge store.

- When you're noting something new, or modifying something, you always have an easy path to push your personal addition/edit to the shared store.

- Ideally notes from everyone's work around or interaction with some X drives low-effort maintenance of the community reference of X.
At modest size this is a self solving problem because companies full of cupcake makers and eaters simply go out of business. Boeing spent many years being led by the kind of folks who were motivated by the success of the company successfully and the wheels fell off—now literally—when it was lead by folks interested in short term profitability.

People have an inherent need to be useful to matter. Mr cupcake decided to matter by making friends with food but if his performance was objectively that bad it should be fairly easy to set performance goals of some kind and term him when he doesn't meet them.

This seems to be how a lot of functional places work best. Motivated people working together with relatively soft guidelines that turn into hard limits to get rid of dead weight.

IMO a company that would rely on this kind of invasive surveillance is not really interested in the well being of their employees. There are far better and less invasive ways to evaluate employee satisfaction and fulfillment than hiring an outside organization to "dig up dirt", for the lack of a better term.

To me it's no different than a company hiring a PI to follow me around so they can report back how many drinks I have on the weekend at a barbecue. Or following me around to find out if I bought a new suit and tie (oh no, might indicate I'm going for an interview!). Just because it's being done digitally doesn't make it any less invasive.

What's next? Grocery stores start selling my buying habits to my employer? That would definitely give them more insight into whether I'm happy and committed. Banks/Credit card companies selling my purchase history?

Here is an example output: https://meticulate.ai/workflow/3b3fe891f16fc437acca87c0

It was really nice to go away for a few minutes and come back to this. Output is not perfect, but I wouldn't expect it to be at this stage.

It hasn’t been my experience. I was often told to just leave relationships, even for little things.
Interesting that there was a flight sent to be in the splashdown area. My guess would have been there's not much engineering/scientific benefit to getting in the neighborhood of the splashdown. Maybe some footage could be gotten just for curiosity but at this early stage of re-entry testing of such a new and different vehicle I suspect the odds of being close enough to acquire decent air-to-air visuals would be pretty low.

Maybe the flight was an attempt to get close enough for a stored telemetry downlink post-rentry blackout but pre-splashdown?
I would assume, hopefully correctly, that the gun laws in DC were put in place as a reactionary measure to gun violence and not as a preventative one.

This either means reactionary measures are ineffective, or they're being policed ineffectively, or there is some other societal/cultural issue at play that doesn't exist in NH.

You mean like every other device in the world? Should Mazda be forcing me to buy a Mazda OEM or OEM-approved car battery through DRM? It would prevent theft of my car to steal its parts, but it would also have the curiously beneficial side effect of massive profit.
It's very possible that the full name from the email to the person's Glassdoor account was not manually performed by a human.

More than likely, their CRM software automatically tied their user-facing account with their support ticket email. Especially if the only unique identifier is based on email address. It's not hard to remove the name and location from the CRM, but because it would become a manual process they just don't want to have to deal with it.

FWIW, this theory could be put to test by signing up an account with username.extrachars@gmail.com and then sending a support email from username.extrachars+1@gmail.com, not sure if they would reject the support ticket as "emails not matched".

Roughly how much does it cost to run to scrape a page? I see from the code this is basically an OpenAI API wrapper but you make no mention of that anywhere on your landing page/documentation, nor any mention of which LLMs this is capable of working with.

Also, an idea is to offer a "record" and "replay" mode. Let the LLM run through the instructions, find the selectors, record and save them. Then you can run through again without using the LLM, replaying the interaction log, until the workflow breaks, then re-generate the "interaction log" or whatever.
This is so cool, congrats on the launch!

I have a friend who looked into doing something similar but they couldn't figure out a way to get the cost low enough. This was like a year ago so I'd guess it's much cheaper now and you could do something like fine-tuning a smaller domain specific model on GPT-4 outputs.

Any ballparks on pricing / cost? What models are ya'll using?
All of those before the simulation, seem like fairly useful metaphors, that describe something real about the world.

Indeed, there are many things about the world that go in cycles. Indeed, much of how the world behaves can be seen as acting according to exact, “mechanical”, rules (like, the laws of physics), etc. .

Problem: I spend too much energy and time on communication with customers
Hey, I'm struggling with a problem: I spend too much time crafting messages to my customers.

For example, right now I'm trying to send a message to a user about a new feature, and my goal is to invoke a positive feeling in them. Get them to feel good about me.

I've spent 5 hours on it. In reality it should take 15 minutes, so I can get back to improving the product.

I'm curious if there any people here who have had this problem and have somehow fixed it.

This would be ideal. The only issue here is trust. If my website relies on advertising then of course I would prefer to serve more content to a human visitor.

People will just breach this trust, like OP and abuse tools like Selenium (as they always have) to imitate being a human.
Yeah, the best thing about hiring people "fresh out of college" (or whatever the equivalent is today) is that they see things with fresh eyes and want to change everything.

It’s not clear to me that either political “side” has the corner on these faults. But even if they did, why not allow audiences to make their own judgments? Universities don’t have to provide auditoriums or catering. They shouldn’t have to provide extra security, if free speech is honored by students. Why can’t listeners simply walk away? I truly don’t understand.
From my perspective microprocessor grew up around the general purpose computing model. Now the microprocessor power has far outpaced the the actual human needs the focus on general purpose is inefficient.

I see efficiencies to be gained in the overall integration of very task specific computers in common network.
> creating and developing an automated test framework is 1% trying to find the best locator, and 99% maintenance of tests that use dynamic.

This is completely true. Quality e2e tests that have good setup and cleanup and aren't flaky take focused dev work. I find myself regularly using the locator finder tool in playwright UI/debugger but I've never found any real value in using the test generator.

I could see it being valuable in a really small subset of exceedingly simple UI, probably personal-project level but even those tend to grow too complex for this.

It's one thing to fix things for yourself, and a whole other kind of thing to hold yourself out to the public as an expert in something.

I've been asking myself what I want out of visiting particular sites and what I need to get it. How far do I need to move from the command line to fulfill my goal?

At the browser level I've found myself wanting to reorganize layout quite a bit, and am starting to think about templating from a user perspective beyond light/dark theme. What assumptions am I making about intent in my work? How can I provide flexibility and when should I step back and just link a csv dump?

I think my ideal modern browser looks more like a crawler. Display of info loosely coupled to site content. All of the scripts I'd actually want to run pulled down on my side from public repos.

It really depends on the company. At large corporations with entrenched moats, government institutions, or quasi-government entities like large private universities, this definitely makes sense!

At startups with <50 people, there may not be a runway for all that. I've been summarily let go after 1-2 months at a startup for lack of culture fit, and it made sense to me -- they simply didn't have the resources available to mentor me and help me get my head in the right place.
Now instead of "it's just curve fitting" I can tell my friends "it's just a spreadsheet."
Same, to be honest. I mainly use it with both Erlang and Java / Kotlin. While Erlang has excellent support for ASN.1, I have found that Java / Kotlin lacks adequate free tooling for working with it, which is quite surprising.

Wow, that looks really nice! Thanks for the plug.
That applies across the board, and I suspect is a personality trait independent of political alignment. I've witnessed people on the right who were against handouts or abortion until they were personally impacted.

When there is a real personal cost, a good chunk of people become surprisingly flexible about their politics, or spectacularly fail to resolve the cognitive dissonance and resort to "My circumstances are different."
At first I thought this was a test tool for Web applications, but now I understand it's meant to be a better RPA.

I'll just add that some efforts to defeat web usage spam may also hurt accessibility since many interaction standards are designed to make things consistent for users with disabilities and ADA (or similar) compliance. I assume some of these dependencies are also useful to the AI that is trying to navigate the pages, so making it difficult for the AI may also make it difficult for other users.
I just lied about both things it wanted and it was fine with that, so it seems a little silly to make it a requirement
While I was being slightly sarcastic up above, thank you @hcazz, @RajT88, @Eugr, @saurik for the replies and descriptions of the viewing experience.

If they're nice enough for use in a semi-dark airplane, I may need to look into a pair. Spend enough time in restaurants and other low lighting areas, it might be worth it for mobile computing purposes.

@hcazz, question: can you use them effectively while walking around in broad daylight?

@RajT88, @Eugr, thank for the viewing descriptions. Those types of issues were a little bit of what I was worried about. Hallway feeling vision, and tiny "correct" spot for viewing. The multi-monitor setup idea is kind of neat, since then you could have floating layer screens with overlap you work on. Floating code/text highlighting for a programmer for example.

A portion of the question above, was closer to: "why is all the discussion in America completely dominated by two FAANG choices when there are apparently so many other decent/good/great alternatives?" People are apparently paying $3500 to look goofy in public and have uncomfortable viewing experiences? (the reviews I've read on the Vision Pro and Quest have not been great)

This Vox article [1] for example has almost the same statement: "Goggles. They’re goggles. Also, let’s imagine ... that maybe one day they’ll just become glasses." (while [checking...] $380 AR glasses with decent reviews are available)

The "meta verse" and Quest got almost the same response. See this Verge article [2]. "Meta’s $1,499 headset is better at showcasing VR’s weaknesses than strengths."

Are you saying there's ddos potential because UDP itself doesn't have a connection handshake? There's still one on top of UDP. The initial packet could be forged, but so could one from TCP (a SYN flood).
I think part of reason people feel this way about cops in particular sometimes is that a lot of their job is to go around monitoring things. It is hard to detect if they are actually working hard or not. Crimes are rare and noisy. If a doctor spends all day playing on their phone, the patients will notice. If a cop does—it was just a low crime day, maybe.

Also the general public has more opinions about the behavior of governments employees.

I dunno how to actually feel about this, from a “is it good” point of view. But I can see why people feel this way at least.
> The main problem you're talking of is head of line blocking due to packet loss. But packet loss as a congestion signal is nowhere near as common as people think

Surely packet loss due to poor signal quality is rather common over mobile networks and that packet loss still affects TCP's congestion window.

Admittedly anecdotal, but I just connected to a 5G network with low signal strength and it certainly seems to be the case.
AFAICR it still "works" if you do a ton of manual setup. They basically said they're not going to support it because it's bad PR

"Could" is such a big word. It means nothing, but it is intended to be very valuable. Get that promotion in writing. Otherwise it's a carrot to dangle upon you.

You know what's worse than training people and then these people leaving? Not training them and then these people staying.

I am almost certain the source code of recently-released Nintendo Switch titles has not been lost.
Evaporation engines like the drinking bird operate on the other half of the water cycle (surface water -> vapor -> cloud water). A 'cloud sponge elevator' would operate on essentially the same half of the water cycle that we already tap into with hydroelectric dams (cloud water -> rain -> surface water). We could get the same increase in energy per unit water by building dams almost as high as the clouds. Now, that would be a huge capital expense (but probably look pretty awesome), but I'm not sure it would be more of a capital expense per watt than a cloud sponge elevator.

One of the reasons why people are interested in evaporation engines is to try to tap into the energy in the water cycle, like dams do, without the high capital expense. Of course, dipping birds aren't efficient, but they also aren't the only possible design.
The truly ironic thing is that they could have mined that effective team for people to move with meaningful raises/promotions in other areas slowly, moved new folks into that team to be trained by them, had that team work with other teams, studied that team or dozens of ways of actually spreading around the pixie dust. They just decided to get the golden eggs by cooking the goose if I can switch to another metaphor midstream.

This strikes me as very unlikely. And if something like that will be developed, it will be priced out to the stratosphere, because most people will be willing to pay whatever it takes to get the treatment.
They could probably bake DRM into the emulator (or... just release the games as PC games, with DRM) but it's not really clear why they wouldn't want to lock people into their ecosystem, especially when, unlike their competitors, they even make a profit on the hardware sales.

Seconding the plug for sh3d. And the source is relatively accessible if you want to make modifications---I patch my personal copy to allow zero-height walls and floors which can make doing more complicated geometry easier.
The point being that you don't know which component on the board failed. If you look at the GPU chip itself, it might be just fine and it was just a capacitor that blew.
