> Or we could have the government require that everyone wear a loudspeaker that constantly announces their presence so that nobody can sneak up on anyone. Citizens are required to purchase their own loudspeaker and anyone caught not wearing one will be fined or jailed.

A much worse solution than e.g. jailing me. It's not everyone who is the problem, neither in my scenario nor in the case of a handful of gigantic social networks exploiting insecurities and addictive tendencies in children.

> On the other hand, if everyone around you was a black belt in jiu jitsu and you knew that there was a good chance that they’d break your arm if you tried to sneak up and punch them, you probably wouldn’t want to do that, would you?

Is that a better solution than jailing me?

Seems we've ended up with three different potential solutions and your principle already isn't holding any water IMO. To bring us back to the problem at hand I can think of an analogous set of three solutions:

1. Make everyone announce their age when they use a social media website so that they know not to exploit children, which is kind of like making everyone wear a loudspeaker.
2. "Harden" the children, which is like teaching everyone jiu jitsu
3. Remove the profit incentive to exploitation of children or otherwise by banning ad funded social networks. This is like jailing the culprit.

From family with a mix of kindles and kobos: yes, this is painless.

You can check beforehand by installing Calibre with the de-DRM plugin and transferring a few books: Once they are on Calibre you are good to go.

One thing I only learned today is that you can set up web sync from Calibre to Kobo [0], [1], but just plugging in to sync has been working fine for me.

For the initial sync, it used to be you could directly de-DRM your whole collection from the storage of the kindle desktop app. At some point the desktop app was using a DRM that had not been broken: I do not know if this is still the case, or if there is another way to download everything from your account.

They can. Highways in California are filled with people averaging 20mph over and it’s rare to see anyone pulled over.
Seventy over in Lousiana or Los Angeles?

In California, my understanding is there's three classes of speeding ticket (1-15, 16-25, and 26+), but there's also a separate offense for doing over 100 mph [1] that allows for a license suspension of up to 30 days at court discretion on the first offense, with mandatory suspensions on further offenses. Additionally, I think you commited both the basic speeding and the 100+ speeding. And as a sibling remarked, you're likely to catch a reckless driving charge too.

Entertainment media isn't always the best way to get legal information.

Also, the cost of a ticket is the fee by law, plus a bunch of court fees and other stuff. IIRC, when I had a speeding ticket near Los Angeles, the fee by law was about 1/3rd the overall cost. I had to deposit the full fees in order to contest the ticket.

I'm not sure it's as difficult as you suggest. It's generally a subjective assessment of the individual concerned: is this thing that I feel compelled to do causing me significant harm? There's no need to attach rigorous measure or external validation to that.

That's part of why it can be contentious; people can declare themselves addicted but one suspects they sometimes do it to avert blame for some related action.

> Therefore I am rather skeptical that you can just throw some Linux distro at a bunch of novice computer users without large amounts of friction.

Not your main point, but: If they really were novice computer users it would be a snap; the problem is that they aren't -- can't be, if they're already conditioned to Windows being "the standard".

Then again, I think that this is often exaggerated, even for long-time Windows users. What's so hard about switching -- "Oh, but people are so used to all their handy Windows shortcuts!"? Bah -- they don't even know they exist!
Nice work! I did something in a similar vein, using JavaScript and Markov chains back in 2015 or so and ended up giving a fun talk about it at a coding bootcamp. [1]

I based it off a Ruby module called “Twitter Ebooks”, which I believe was based on a Python module called “horsey books”, which could create a bot that would make posts using Markov chains, given a corpus of text. [2]

(I’m not dropping the date to be a jerk, more to point out that Markov chains / n-grams are an interesting concept for experimenting with language models and have been around for a while.)

In my case, I fed a corpus of data (my Twitter history at the point, which was something like 20K tweets) and tried to create a Twitter bot to make intelligent sounding posts.

It worked out, sometimes. But, it was a lot of fun to figure out!

Nice that the topic gets you enthusiastic! If you want to learn about LLMs, I suggest you try educational material that doesn’t simplify it too much (i.e. not videos), before implementing something.

I did a 12.61 mile hike in Algonquin with ~1520 feet of elevation gain back in July. The total time was 4 hours and 36 minutes - and my hiking partner and I were both exhausted afterwards. My heart rate ranged from 93 to 195 BPM, with an average of 154, according to my Apple Watch.

We were doubly motivated by mosquitoes and the fact that my grandmother - aged 99 at the time, who has since passed - was going to leave without saying goodbye if we weren’t back by the right time (something we weren’t aware of until midway through the hike). Would have been much slower otherwise.

I’ll definitely be using this rule in the future to sanity check the AllTrails estimates.

edit: a more recent hike in Kansas - 20.04 miles with ~1600 feet of elevation gain - I did in 6:45:28, according to my watch. A bit faster than the 7:28 estimate I come up with using the rule.
Blip – The fastest way to send files

Hi, I'm one of the authors of this SDK.

We're a company called E2B [0]. We're building and open-source [1] secure environments for running untrusted AI-generated code and AI agents. We call these environments sandboxes and they are built on top of micro VM called Firecracker [2].

You can think of us as giving small cloud computers to LLMs.

We recently created a dedicated SDK for building custom code interpreters in Python or JS/TS. We saw this need after a lot of our users have been adding code execution capabilities to their AI apps with our core SDK [3].
These use cases were often centered around AI data analysis so code interpreter-like behavior made sense

The way our code interpret SDK works is by spawning an E2B sandbox with Jupyter Server. We then communicate with this Jupyter server through Jupyter Kernel messaging protocol [4].

We don't do any wrapping around LLM, any prompting, or any agent-like framework. We leave all of that on users. We're really just a boring code execution layer that sats at the bottom that we're building specifically for the future software that will be building another software.
We work with any LLM. Here's how we added code interpreter to Claude [5].

Our long-term plan is to build an automated AWS for AI apps and agents.

Happy to answer any questions and hear feedback!

I have Podman running in one server and Docker in another, Podman was for testing something out so I created a role for that as well.

The repo is private on GitHub as of now, I would have to re-check everything once if I accidentally did not leak any secrets at some point of time when I was still learning about Ansible. So it will be sometime before I make it a public repo.

Meanwhile, if you are looking for something specific then let me know, I will try to cover that topic in depth in some blog post.

In NDT's defense.

I feel like the problem is that he is (whether its because he feels he must or some other pressure) "on" 24/7 thanks to social media. Other science communicators would pop up for some cool, edited, scripted, interviews or a documentary and slip away. What you get would be their best side 100% of the time in reruns on discovery or whatever. NDT seems to think that literally everything is an unmissable opportunity to advance science literacy and will jump in on literally anything to try.

If it wasnt for people sharing his dumbest tweets, I would only know him from the one documentary series, which was actually really impressive (to me). We really don't need "Ah but actually did you know transformers is impossible" or whatever every 15 minutes.

What I am saying is NDT please log off sometimes and let me remember the good bits.

In oz we have Dr Karl who can get a bit like NDT sometimes too. It really feels like he will repeat whatever the government hands him (he has repeated the governments misinformation about vapes, despite most of it coming from lobby groups and not scientists). And he clowns on socials and interviews. But because of that they have him mainly targeted at school age audiences.

The situation it lays out, where the $100k of other driver's liability coverage isn't enough to cover their damages (including what health "insurance" paid out) - isn't that exactly what the "underinsured driver" line item is for?

Also isn't the main reason you never cash such a check from an insurance company is that it's an offer for a final settlement, or at least could be construed as such, even though you might be owed much more?

I do agree that it's a problem for insurance companies to be able to set upper limits on coverage, after which they walk away. The whole point of insurance is to cover long tail risk. If the area under the chopped off long tail is really that large, then that means a lot of damages are just currently being dropped on the floor.
Personally the use for me has been in writing boilerplate. As an example, one of my ongoing goals has been to port all the view code of a project to another framework, following its idioms. Using an LLM, I can process a file in a couple of seconds, and checking that everything is right takes just a few seconds as well. It’d take me hours to go through every file manually, and it’d be prone to human error. It’s not technically challenging stuff, just tedious and mind-numbing, which is perfect for an LLM.

I do agree though, these basic examples do seem quite pointless, if you already know what you’re doing. It’s just as pointless as telling another developer to “add a name param to ‘greeting’ function, add all types”, which you’d then have to review.

I think it comes down to your level of experience though. If you have years and years of experience and have honed your search skills and are perfectly comfortable, then I suspect there isn’t a lot that an LLM is going to do when it comes to writing chunks of code. That’s how I’ve felt about all these “write a chunk of code” tools.

In my case, apart from automating the kind of repetitive, mindless work I mentioned, it’s just been a glorified autocomplete. It works -really- well for that, especially with comments. Oftentimes I find myself adding a little comment that explains what I’m about to do, and then boop, I’ve got the next few lines autocompleted with no surprises.

I had to work without an internet connection a few days ago and it really, really hit me how much I’ve come to use that autocomplete - I barely ever type anything to completion anymore, it was jarring, having to type everything by hand. I didn’t realise how lazy my typing had become.

There are 2 contexts for speech, and within each different forces change the outcome of the same conversation. This is why I can say your analysis is resulting in erroneous outputs.

For arguments sake, let’s call it - individual only scenarios vs collective scenarios.

Individual only: What thoughts you say at home in the privacy of your house.

Collective: The vote.

In collective scenarios, the median/average choice dominate.

Eg: The chemical expert knows that chemical X is going to kill humans and avoids it.

The collective votes Yes to elect a representative who advocates for chemical X to be added to all food packaging.

This is a very common trick question where Free Speech argument proponents falter.

Free Speech is a principle for ordering the world. With the internet, this principle needs to be applied to people who would skew or influence collective decisions.

Yeah my mothers like this. She has given me exactly 1 compliment about my skills in my entire life.

I was in bed one morning, my cousin having slept over. I let him use the family PC when I went to bed the previous night.

I awoke to my mother screaming my name. Then she stopped. She said "No, x is too smart to let us find this." and then screamed for my cousin.

He had been cruising google image search for cartoon porn and had left it all in autocomplete. My mother accidentally let slip that she has an understanding that I would at least be devious enough to cover my tracks. Its something I guess.

It was invented so that nobody taking the test would be at an advantage or disadvantage depending on platforms they had experience with, so the exams could just test pure understanding of the concepts.

> creating an intrinsic tax on wealth

It's worth pointing out that it is not a tax on wealth, but a tax on both savings (held in cash) and lending (through reducing what paid back debt can buy).

Most forms of what people consider wealth track inflation, which is important because inflation is almost always a direct wealth transfer to a country's already wealthy, which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.
