> My point is not that no wealthy people save things.

That may not be your point in this comment, but in your original comment you listed several things (taking home leftovers, keeping sauce packets, hanging onto free pens) that you labeled as low-class indicators. These are only indicators of being low-class if they are not done by a significant number of non-low-class people.

My point was that there are actually some people who are quite wealthy/comfortable who do these things also, and that some people (like law-school-me) react positively to it. The point is that people who do this because of their current situation or past situation need not feel embarrassed or odd for doing this, because some people see it as practical and commonsense.
Is the privacy because it’s running locally, or you’re anonymizing user data when using open ai, or both?
What it really seems like the issue is is:

1. Scripts should be maintained and tested, and

2. The language used for scripts necessarily is and should be treated as a project language, and the appropriateness of that choice should have all the factors that go into choosing a langauge for any other purpose, including the impact on complexity if it isn't the main language and fitness for purpose and any additional dev platform, tooling, etc., constraints it imposes, but...

This doesn't imply scripts should be in the main project language, any more than it is generally the case that projects must be monolingual.
You don't even need to do that. Just stick a single ' before any number/date and it will be treated as text.

The problems are when importing/exporting though. Even quoted numbers will lose the quote when exported to say, CSV. You need to explicitly save as quoted, and import quoted fields as text. The real issue is that these settings are not the default.

Visualizing the statistical connections behind ChatGPT
So GitHub is apparently so bad at presenting repositories and forks that there are busy beavers running around asking “is this maintained” and reporting to some registry or something if they apparently aren’t.

- Anyone know this guy?

- Has he logged on in the last year?

- Can someone contact his aunt in Xinjiang? Maybe she knows something

I experienced the same thing with a repository that wasn’t active. I mean a repository might be feature complete so why should it be active? Well other people wanted more from the repository. But not the author apparently. That’s fine. Well turns out that there was an active fork which was vastly more “featureful” by design. And a PR to that repository took less than three hours to be merged. How did I find that fork? Honestly I think it was mostly by coincidence since I saw the fork owner posting on some issue in the original repository.

Spacemacs was experiencing a reviewer bottleneck for a while (I don’t know what the status is now) in part because the repository owner was not very active. That got partly solved by more people getting commit rights apparently. But why don’t forks pick up the slack instead of waiting around for commit rights? Hijack the PRs and review them in your own forks. Merge them if they are good. Then come back to the upstream and ask the main guy to merge them. If he trusts you and would have given you commit rights anyway then it shouldn’t be a problem.

GitHub should prominently tell you about other forks if they are notable in some way:

- More activity (most important)

- Maybe more stars

Because then you don’t have to hope to God that the repository owner logs on every two weeks and keeps his thirty repositories updated about their maintenance status. (Honestly who doesn’t have dusty old code that works for them which you haven’t even thought about for months or years?)

Why is this so difficult? All repositories are peers after all.
The RF pulses and field gradients can directly stimulate the peripheral nerves. I have had involuntary muscle twitching triggered by many pulse sequences. It’s not unheard of. It made me more sympathetic for patients who have motion in images. It could be that the particular combination of pulse sequence and their nerves don’t jive and triggers movement.

I'm not a lawyer so I'll happily accept a more thorough analysis.

My quick reading of the bill leads me to think that smaller forums might actually qualify -- unless I missed a section on size of social network.

This bill says:

Now combine this with:

So what defines "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors"? This seems like something that might be applied on very arbitrary grounds and won't require much to trigger it.

In this case, the IA has applied DRM, just as media companies do, and anyone breaking that DRM is the person liable for infringement, not the Internet Archive. Even breaking weak sauce DRM violates the terms of the DMCA, and media companies have fought to protect their use of such insufficient schemes. I see no reason that legal wrangling shouldn't also apply to the Internet Archive as well as it does members of the MPAA.

Oh god this.

The last 10 years of UX trends where everything has to be two or three different actions behind a single tap or tap and hold does NOT translate well onto AVP. Most iPad apps are nigh unusable, esp those with high information density. Vision is not quite as precise as a mouse cursor but it definitely not as imprecise as a tap, but only when the UI is predictable. Because where you are looking is also how you read, every informational field also needs to include either both the information and the action, or they need to be separated out.

So far there is no bigger culprit than the native Music app. The bottom of the player has like three nested buttons that all do different shit. The same place you look to see what song is playing is also a hidden progress/playback scrubber and also a shortcut to switch to the miniplayer if you happen to look at the eye catching album art icon directly next to the title of the song. It’s maddening.

To clarify, I am not saying blowback is completely unpredictable. You are absolutely right that there are times when blowback can be predicted in a general sense. My argument is that a general directionality of blowback is generally not useful for crafting policy.

You're completely right that it was easy to predict that there would be some consequences to automation and people losing their jobs. Yet I do not think it was easy to predict what shape those would take. As a result, it was functionally impossible to offer useful policy measures. You can say "We should reform society away from believing productivity is king and self-worth is tied to employment", but that's itself not specific enough to be useful. "This may lead to a crisis in society" is similarly rather non-specific. How do you craft policy around "this may lead to a crisis"?

In practice, I see two recurring patterns when people try to predict blowback. First, people use fears of blowback to launder their anxieties. If you look at the conversation around AI, you will see this happening in many forms.

Second, people often use predictions about blowback to advance policies they wanted anyway. Artists want to be hired more and stronger intellectual property laws, the same things they wanted yesterday. Advocates for saving small towns in the rust belt will suggest the same retaining and social safety net policies they suggested yesterday before anyone asked them to predict blowback.

In my opinion, these two patterns are deeply linked. They are both about trying to turn confirmation bias into policy. None of the answers from this are automatically wrong, but none of them are novel. Most worryingly, neither approach offers any kind of way to reliably predict blowback so it can be dealt with via policy.

In my career, I've seen any number of engineering teams devote significant time and effort to trying to solve technical problems that never arose. Not because they were solved in advance, but because the team's predictions about where issues would arise were wildly incorrect. From this, I have drawn the lesson that we are well-advised to approach the task of trying to predict failure in complex systems with deep humility.

The more complex the system, the more humble we need to be. At some point, trying to make any prediction more specific than "something will probably go wrong" becomes a poor use of time.

This is neither the Luddite case nor the techno-optimist case. It's an argument to be skeptical of our own ability to make good predictions about the future except in, as you wisely and correctly say, very general ways.
I think you're both misunderstanding how this works.

AR should be without the light seal, VR should be with the light seal, simple as that.
This is user-hostile. Not everything that can be enforced should be enforced.

Anyway, the one thing that is even more user-hostile is sending app-makers screenshot-was-made events without telling the users. This is a thing on Android.

> The learning curve is minimal since you already know the corners of the language

But that does not imply you know how to get the creation date of a file or how to zip a directory.

> Internal language APIs can be leveraged, which drastically changes the mental model to write the script (for the better)

That sounds like a rather empty statement.

> Scripts feel more natural and eventually maintainability increases. Team members are familiarized with the language!

Don't you think familiarity with the OS (or OSes) comes first? And that knowledge usually comes with the knowledge of a shell or batch language.

> Development machines compatibility increases. Windows users can finally run all scripts.

Script development time increases, too. And Windows has WSL nowadays.
> With async/await I really don't fully understand what's going on behind the scenes.

But what makes you think you understand what's going on behind the scenes with threads?

You don't need to understand anything more when using async await than when using threads, and it works almost the same way: calling await blocks the “thread” of execution the exact same way a blocking call to an IO function does. And if you don't await on the promise/future then it behaves as if you spawned a thread (in most languages including JavaScript, in Rust it doesn't nothing unless you explicitly “spawn” the future). Sometimes you need to join that thread (by calling await on the future) and sometimes you don't and you leave it to it's business, exactly like threads!

It puzzles me when developers are afraid of the complexity of async, it's entirely in your head: if every junior JavaScript developers can get used to it in a few days, so can you.

I do that in my Go projects.

In fact my "scripts" are actually part of the main executable. I use cmd-line args to invoke the needed functionality.

For example, in the past I would have written a Python script to deploy my Go binary to a server, possibly using tools like Fabric that provide functionality to make it easier.

Today I add `-deploy-hetzner` cmd-line to my Go binary and it does the work. It builds itself, copies the binary to the server, kills the old instances, configures caddy if needed, starts newly uploaded instance etc.

For example my deploy.go is 409 lines of code, which is not that bad. You can see exactly how this works: https://github.com/kjk/edna/blob/main/server/deploy.go

I standardized on how I deploy things so deploy.go is mostly re-used among several projects.

Writing this code isn't much more difficult that what I used to write in Python.

This kind of code can be shorter because I don't have to handle errors, I just panic if something goes wrong.

I like that I don't have to switch between different languages and that I have full control and understanding over what happens. Fabric used to be a bit of a black box.

I even wrote an article about this idea: https://blog.kowalczyk.info/article/4b1f9201181340099b698246...

> This is an interesting question. If both institutional power and "good breeding" nearly completely overlap, how should we tell the difference?

We'd look at the existence of things like “corruption of blood” as an imposed social consequences of non-compliance with institutions of social power and and how formally acknowledged vs. well-known but unacknowledged illegitimate children were treated and recognize that “blood” is really code for instititutional position (even if associated with a mythology of some kind of, more lamarckian than darwinian, inheritance as a rationalization.)

There are real world examples of what it would look like, they're called "dolphins": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolphin_(structure)#/media/Fil...

That's my original point. Assange/Wikileaks made little, if any, distinction between an American mid-level diplomat that's stationed at an embassy sending intel on the mistresses, corruption, or misdeeds of the local leadership and the genuine terrible things that were covered up and arguably should have been leaked.

Leaking government misdeeds is whistle-blowing and has legal and moral justifications (and when wikileaks first arrived on the scene I was 100% supportive of it). Leaking troves of generic government data that's unrelated to any misdeeds, is a crime. Assange, for a host of reasons, decided to do the latter and is now in a FAFO situation.

From this https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/us-merchants-enter-...

The old settlement allows giving discounts to cash, to debit cards etc, but it doesn’t allow giving discounts to visa/Mastercard issued by particular banks/businesses.

The new settlement will allows merchants to pass the fees directly to consumers on issuer level thereby disclosing the fee of each card and promoting the transparency. Consumers can understand the cost associated with each card and make their tradeoffs

Interestingly there is a call out on the 2018 American Express SCOTUS judgement. I don’t understand that very well.

> Merchants can charge for using a Visa or Mastercard credit card, regardless of whether they can charge for using American Express, whose rules for merchants were upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018.
I don't think a _job_ is the quintessential experience so much as _productive value,_ doing something that brings you joy from the act of creating, whether it's making music or art, assembling Lego kits, antique engine restoration, etc. Getting that satisfaction from your job is totally possible, so perhaps to some people it is!

As far as crafting a post-scarcity economic model goes, it's not the problem of dreaming one up, it's the pervasiveness of scarcity. Even if all of humanity's basic necessities are one day a given, scarcity won't disappear, just shift around (maybe as transportation for the otherwise-infinite supply of consumer goods? Or living space away from dense urban centers? Maybe even the kind of heuristic analysis abilities humans are unmatched in to keep the matter replicators functioning?)

More to the point, saying that this kind of luxury will exist in a thousand years doesn't nullify the concerns of the present, and probably wouldn't convince most people to forfeit their employment to machines likely owned by the uppermost classes.
We're pretty deep into an experiment to see if it's otherwise. A lot of people have been confident that other structures will emerge, and a lot of institutions have presented themselves as the alternative. I haven't seen anything convincingly comparable, though I'm sure others see it differently.
LaMBDA was also briefly available for public testing, but then rapidly withdrawn due to unhinged responses.

One advantage that OpenAI had over Google was having developed RLHF as a way to "align" the model's output to be more acceptable.

Part of Google's dropping the ball at that time period (but catching up now with Gemini) may also have been just not knowing what to do with it. It certainly wasn't apparent pre-ChatGPT that there'd be any huge public demand for something like this, or that people would find so many uses for it in API form, and especially so with LaMBDA's behavioral issues.
Haha, fair enough. In this particular case the films are typically harder find at your favourite port.
This is one of the “magical” capabilities provided by Nix and NixOS imo.

I recently used this NixOS module to build a new machine as a Proxmox VMA all while sharing the common config with my existing NixOS machine. I then imported the VM into Proxmox, expanded the disk size, and it booted immediately! There were a few manual things I had to do to get secrets working, but end-to-end, it took me about 5 minutes.

You can do the exact same thing for other formats. For example, you could have a bootable installer ISO that takes your base config and adds specific tools on top that you’d want on a portable USB.
