Sure. The site on arrival feels like an ugly PHP example app design from 2008. Use some AI-looking metallic gradients for logo, or anything less orangy-brown.

The use of AI-generated images for the news items is totally dystopian, freakish, and dysfunctional: hallucinated faces for obituaries, AI bias all over the place, surreal representations of things... But I like it! It's a strange feature on its own seeing how AI may (mis)represent a headline. Prompt it to use even more different visual styles, and apply filters (ie color filters) so that the UX doesn't become visually repetitive.

The news text underneath is just garbage, I don't get it. Work on putting out a good AI-generated summary instead, plus real links to real news sites that your LLM/ranker/classifier thinks are the best links to get that news, which will also give attribution for your sources. Bonus for summaries+links to social top ranked comments too. Get rid of snips within snips (which do not work).

Add a short sentence-summary under the headline, or make headlines longer when applicable so that they are more descriptive.

How do you measure 1 cup of broccoli? Cos that sort of instruction comes up constantly. Unless American stores sell vegetables in 1 cup bushels (which just in case they do, is beyond insane) I don't see how you could reliably do that ever.
Given the current idea of LLM's still struggle with confidently giving wrong information, all of these products are seriously misguided. (It doesn't help that "AI" has become such a blanket term in the last year or so that does "AI" mean "LLM" or more traditional purpose built AI).

It isn't clear to me that given the nature of LLM's can we actually solve this problem. It isn't thinking critically and never will without it being a different tech. (Someone correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like this is just a fundamental problem with this type of tech).

There have been very very few actual use cases of what we are now calling "AI" that actually seem to provide any real benefit. The only one that I find myself using on a daily basis is helping look through and summarize my personal notes. Something that the nature of an LLM is ver well suited for.

Not really though because most people in suburbs need to be within 1 hour of the city to commute for work or services.
indeed but sometimes abstractions are useful. i would argue that in this case the binary is useful because of the PP's use of the word "totalitarian" (as in "totalitarian neofeudalist").

i am arguing that the word was misapplied to the essay since the essay was promoting free markets and it's central planning that offers opportunity for totalitarian control.
Being someone who rides around suburbia on a bike, I get the hate for cars.

But man, this anti-car movement has gone completely off the deep end, to the point where it's practically become a religion where pedestrian walkways and bike paths will bring about a utopian society and cars and highways are the devil to be defeated.

The only thing reducing the number of cars on the road is going to do, is make it more enjoyable to use a car.
the chief selling point of suburban life at all in the United States was that despite all its chain restaurants, its food deserts and its abandoned sense of art and culture, you were supposed to be given the chance at home ownership and the independence promised by generations of American leaders to their people. land ownership: a touchstone of the american dream.

now that homes are commodity investments and few americans can afford them at all the appeal of a suburb is the opportunity to generate passive income for boomer landlords and capital management firms that own vast tracts of the neighborhood. its a chance to pay outrageous homeowners fees for the privilege of servicing your predatory home loan in the hopes of some sort of federal incentive during the next bust cycle.
As someone on reddit mentioned yesterday "Jia Cheong Tan" is an anagram of "CIA Agent John". Which may be accidental or a funny pun by the backdoor coder.
No, I think OP makes a good case that Lewis did not mean an expanding red giant in _Magician's Nephew_, even if he could have used the most recent science at the time to choose to do so:

"“So big, so red, and so cold.”

“It has always been so,” said Jadis. “At least, for hundreds of thousands of years. Have you a different sort of sun in your world?”"

A red giant expanding to the point of taking up much of the sky would not be 'cold', nor would it 'always been so...for hundreds of thousands of years'. (It would be hot, the world heating up at that close an approach, and the expansion quite visible on the order of millions of years rather than totally static and unchanging.) That only is consistent with the cooled-down prior version.
One thing that helps tremendously is greenery and parks. Unfortunately, most suburbs lack even decently sized trees, either because they are new, they are located somewhere where trees don't grow well, or they aren't well watered to save money.

As a result, most suburbs make me feel like I'm stuck the "backrooms".
Web browsers have become to Javascript what Emacs is to Elisp. It is an interactive, extensible, "everything application". The main difference is that right now, just about everyone with a computer uses a web browser.

Personally I prefer to use a separate, dedicated service to run my language models, and I bounce between a few clients for various things. One of them is a (local) web interface (open-webui).
> It is capabale to handle distributed workload with its redis database support

sounds like this is limited by redis. For many organizations, this is fine. At my last gig, we used redis for deduplication and it required over 150 redis nodes with deterministic routing and consensus. Redis reportedly could support 200k rps per node, but in our case, we wouldn't see it get passed around 50k rps no matter how we tuned it.

An interesting addition to this library would be to use an interface and allow your backing datastore of choice allowing teams to use redis, zookeeper, an in-mem Go instance of the same library, sql, etc.

A fun exercise would be to figure out how to make the rate limiting itself distributed so you don't need a single store keeping everything in sync. Maybe a combo of deterministic request routing in a ring topology

>Everyone is different, but man... I'm the guy that likes to fire up the bbq and chat with neighbors in the backyard while the kids are who knows where (but safe) in the sprawl. Seeing a teenager in their first job at an ice cream shop sort of reinvigorates my sense of community. These are things I recognize and grew up with, and everyone has different upbringings, but the suburbs are where I'm happiest.

I am not sure any of this is specifically Suburban, there is no reason this same scenarios couldn't play out in a city neighborhood. It just so happens that in America, the suburbs have been sold as the idyllic place to aspire towards, so that's where you find kids and teens, couples move there.

Also the picture you're painting is not what passes for suburbs today. Most people can't afford to live in the kind of places where you can BBQ with your neighbor and walk to an ice-cream shop with a teenager at the counter. You might maybe find them at some soulless strip mall working at a similarly soulless ice-cream chain, but I am guessing that's not what you mean?

There are true suburbs but they are for rich people. Think places like Bethesda Maryland, Old-Town Alexandria VA, Morristown NJ...these are actual suburbs that have excellent mix of what an idyllic suburb should look like, but they are also mostly for the affluent.

What passes for suburbs in today's America, are patches of land with houses on them, basically just real estate development and not much else. Usually there would be some strip mall that is called "Town Center" that is shared between these developments. If your town center has a sign that reads "Town Center", it means you don't live in a town.
> It's worth pointing out that we got lucky with a savvy tester stumbling on the backdoor in the dark.

I believe in Bayesian probability a lot more than I believe in luck. The fact that a random sysadmin investigating performance issues was able to rapidly unravel this whole thing is at least a minimal indicator that either (a) this particular attack was largely incompetent, and any of the many "savvy testers" in the community would have uncovered it within short order, but more sophisticated attacks might remain undetected, or (b) this was a sophisticated attack, and the community is generally resilient to this form of infiltration.

Also along that line, as a competitor, were the Syquest Sparq and SyJet cartridge hard drives. Syquest was eventual acquired by... Iomega.

For a while, I used a SyJet on a SCSI controller as a secondary hard drive for dual booting. Back in that era, I had to patch the Linux kernel to add my Adaptec SCSI card's ID to the list of PCI IDs it recognized, but the driver worked fine once that was done, and the official sources soon caught up.

It worked well, but I rapidly outgrew it, and the cartridges were expensive and hard to find.
> likely no need for this because they will likely be able to deal with it

That kinda assumes that technology always progresses forward and there are no regressions and dark ages. 10k years is a long time. The Great Pyramid of Giza was built roughly 5k years ago, so we are aiming here for twice that long. During that time many empires have risen and fallen. That is a lot of time for technical things to go forgotten.
No OP, but no amount of data will ever enable an LLM to know when it doesn’t know something, for instance. That’s a fundamental limitation with the current architecture.

People who are dismissing this as "well they got paid well" aren't seeing the bigger picture. Artists in the 40's-70's or so were paid decent wages. Then when the company breaks critical mass, they can squeeze out the talent and replace them with starry eyed newbies who'd work for free if they could. 40 years later, we have VFX sudios work on award winning billion dollar moneymakers and still end up shutting down because the studio can't get a good bid going (oh yeah, they are bidding their talent for work now. Another issue).

People need to heed the lessons from other industries. These strategies aren't new.

The only thing stopping a commercial product from using copyleft software is themselves, not the copyleft.

Lawyers entire job is to make convincing arguments for any position you want, by artfully speaking only true facts, no matter what the position is and no matter what the facts are.

Of course a lawyer can and will say that you "can't" let any gpl software pollute the companys product "because the gpl prevents it", instead of saying that the company doesn't want to pay the license fee for the software.

The facts of the gpls terms may be true, and the lawyer may present them for their argument, but that still doesn't make the overall assertion true.

They can use gpl software all they want. They just don't want to. And good for them. That is better than simply stealing it which many do.

It's also merely an assertion that "most" open source software uses apache/mit/bsd wthout some numbers and citation. But that sentence could be parsed more than one way. They might have only been saying that most of the projects that use apache/mit do so for commercial compatibility reasons.
Correct. Hence the disclaimer in my first paragraph, which could also be stated as the threat duality principle, per James Mickens[0]:

If your adversary is the Mossad, YOU’RE GONNA DIE AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO
ABOUT IT."

What's the track record of other projects that have gone too commercial and had their code forked like this? The only other example I can think of offhand is MySQL and MariaDB. I don't know what the market share of either is now. Do people still use MySQL? Does it generate profit for Oracle?

I think Redis Ltd. is vastly overestimating the value of their product. Redis is incredibly popular, but the vast majority of users are just looking for a simple in-memory key-value store for lightweight database use cases, caching, etc. I've used it in some way in just about all my projects for the past ~15 years.

The thing is, I don't care that it's Redis. I don't care about most of its features. I could have subbed in memcached or any number of other solutions. It would have been trivial and had no impact on my system.

I have no doubt that there are some power users who need advanced features of Redis, but I also have no doubt that Redict will be better, and that there will be companies who provide commercial support for it.

I'm just going to use Amazon ElastiCache for big projects, and continue not caring at all about what it is behind the scenes. And I'll s/redis/redict in my docker-compose.yml for small/personal projects, and that'll be the end of it.

I can't imagine a scenario where Redis Ltd. is relevant or profitable 10 years from now. Oracle can afford to lose money on MySQL forever, and treat it as a loss-leader for acquiring new Oracle DB customers or at least new MySQL service contracts. Redis Ltd. has one product and few people need support for it or care much about it vs. alternatives.

Edit: Or Valkey instead of Redict; either way, which exemplifies the degree to which I don't care.

I have always seen this as the ultimate exercise in bike shedding. We can't make any progress on how to properly store nuclear waste because nothing short of perfection seems to satisfy the critics, the goalpost is constantly moving and somehow we are now in the "can you guarantee it will never harm anyone in the next five millennia?" phase. This "crisis" is then used as a justification for why we certainly can't build more reactors.
AWS has ElastiCache, which is compatible with current redis, but I wonder in which direction they'll go.

Specifically what movements and when? It’s a strange claim that globalization was caused (or even accelerated) by environmental movements. Certainly the UN came before the environmental movements of the 60s/70s. The World Bank and IMF were also established soon after the conclusion of WWII. The wiki article for globalization makes just a couple of off hand mentions of environmental issues. I’ve only ever heard of globalization in an economic context, and I think by convention this is the lens most people view it by
Fellow co-founder here! We made Resubscribe to solve a pain point I had working on a previous startup. Using customer surveys, it was impossible to identify which new features we needed to be building. The survey results we received were fairly difficult to extract sentiment and prioritize. We attempted to run 1:1 user interviews with all our users, but we were running a B2C company, and it wasn't possible to use these interviews to get this feedback at scale either.

Resubscribe helps solve this problem. You can run user interview quality experiences at the scale of surveys. Resubscribe also helps you resubscribe users by making the customer an offer during the experience. Overall our focus is to help you both decrease your churn and understand the reason for churn so you can solve it long term.

We'd love for you to give Resubscribe a try and let us know what you think! (good or bad)
That was the Goiânia accident of 1987. To the best of my knowledge, it is the only such instance, which suggests that existing regulations around the safe decommissioning and disposal of such devices do a more reliable job of preventing accidental dispersal than booby-trapping equipment would - not to mention that this would make maintaining the equipment much more than usually fraught, besides.
Lends some credit to the idea that they had a target or series of targets in mind when deploying this seemingly general attack vector.

The xz backdoor did hide the payload in test data though. Proper sandboxing could have meant that eg. building the binary wouldn't have access to test data.
Proper betting shops are market makers, ideally balancing their books such that they profit by the house spread regardless of outcomes. A bookie that takes on a substantial net position is accidentally gambling with their own money.

There's really no time savings to be had for the individual is there? Both interfaces require you to punch in a product code and weigh the produce.
I've been told that Windows intentionally destabilizes the syscall interface so you have to use the official dll interface and can't just make kernel calls yourself. I wonder if there isn't something to that.
That laptop is several times more performant than the Intel i9 Macbook Pro. It's much more than reasonable.
I agree. LLM almost-solve a traditional NLP task which text generation. Calling that intelligence gives the wrong idea about the tech application. That's no reasoning in generated text, what is amazing is that the output is linguistically correct.

Prolog, ontologies, computer vision, deep learning, classifiers, etc. all have been called AI despite being very different things and their inherent limitations. At this point AI is just a label thrown at the newest cool tech.
Different people have different preferences, often influenced by what is familiar to them or what they find easy/enjoyable. That works for people who hate suburbs, people who hate cities, and people who hate rural life. The funny part is how people fight over it, or lack the empathy to understand why someone might want to continue the status quo of an existing location.
I'd rather have a safer world for the software, and for the people especially. What I wanted to reflect on is just OP's assertion that if bad thing X happens, it's game over.
