Meat is the best food for humans — ruminants, especially, are great at processing out the various anti-nutrients plants produce to ward off being eaten & then processing it into pretty much exactly the food humans need for optimal health. Think of all the land & water that goes into crops that aren't even eaten by humans — run buffalo & cattle over that instead. That would have the secondary benefit of not monocropping (which produces all manner of negative downstream ecological effects). If you don't want healthy, thriving humans, as well as a thriving ecosystem then by all means keep pushing this plant nonsense (take a look at how much water it takes to grow one almond, & then scale that up into what it takes to make almond (or really any other plant) "milk").
Are you saying it's not rational for me to expect rationalists around here? :P
I guess that's reasonable?
That "negativity" aspect is common in other fields too: imagine you are nowadays an economist, a journalist, an architect, a footballer, a politician, an activist of some ideology or even an artist: would you escape that negativity ?

Negativity is not related to any industry. It is rather inherent to our nature. Because it is important to our survival. Our brain always seeks for signs of what may go wrong or what is actually wrong to help us protect or improve ourselves.
One of the most consistent technological innovations throughout humanity's existence has been in improving how we eat, because eating is by far one of the biggest pleasures a person can have in life.

The invention of fire revolutionized eating, the invention of agriculture revolutionized access to food at a fundamental level, the invention of refrigeration and freezing vastly expanded the reach and safety of food from point of harvest to dinner table, and the past century or so has dramatically democratized the kinds of food a person can choose to eat.

This notion of sacrificing Quality of Eating(tm) is therefore a non-starter, humanity demands and strives for better eating. Any proposal to change how we produce food must accept it must co-exist with continued improvements to eating.

Eternal youth? John Cleese extols virtues of stem cell treatment
Love this. Years of therapy have made me realize therapists train you to create and use a hypervisor for your brain. Your brain thinks it is in full control, but a meta-cognitive part of it (the hypervisor) is capable of watching it and stepping in to intervene. It can be as tangible as not returning evil for evil when you have every right to. For whatever reason, this resonates more than simply calling it executive function.
This Substack appears to be stolen - by re-creating a Substack hostname that the original author has deleted, then re-publishing the articles with back-dated dates.

This Substack plagiarism scammer is getting even more creative.

They appear to have found an old Substack that was deleted in 2022-2023 (https://web.archive.org/web/20220826223418/https://michaelde...), then registered the deleted Substack hostname (with their own Substack profile), gone through Internet Archive or another source, and re-published the posts with back-dated dates.

Well yeah, it's the logical conclusion of how credit cards work - or at least used to work until very recently.

You're entering a bunch of magical numbers. There is zero verification that you are in fact the cardholder. The store can't get its goods back once they have shipped. If the cardholder does a chargeback, you've just given away the entire order for free - plus a massive chargeback fee.

The vast majority of orders will be delivered to the cardholder's home address - or at least reasonably close. The vast majority of long-distance orders are fraud. Do you expect the vendor to just eat the almost-guaranteed losses?

Fraud like this isn't possible with payment methods like iDeal - which are essentially one-way bank transfers. You can order stuff to be delivered to the White House, for all the vendor cares. But the customers don't like it because they can't do a chargeback when something goes wrong with the order...

What Deutsch is saying is that any simulation is going to virtualize all possible observations (including time and any/all side channels), which means there's no way to see through the abstraction.

But that doesn't mean we are in a simulation (i.e. are software). It'd be actually kind of dumb if we were, as this universe cannot be simulated efficiently on classical computers--the kind that occur to logicians working from the first principles of mathematics. Our universe wasn't designed by a CS person, that's for sure.

Not sure what the business model is of these ai startups, meta will crush them with each model release. Also, the expertise to fine tune existing llama models, is far overblown. Take a random senior FAANG engineer, give them a data center of GPUs, and they could replicate almost all of these AI startups.

Its really a matter of having the capital for training. Same with the Devin AI coder, its just VC pumped crap. Same with Mistral, they have no moat, and their researchers, as "prestigious" as they are, are completely undifferentiated.
So can many of the people in Turkey, France, Japan, etc.

Tangentially related, but how long can languages really be considered a barrier when AI translations are ubiquitous.

There's a big difference between "can't just hit the copy button and paste in the key" and "can't export the key as part of a backup." Physically preventing users from ever accessing their own keys is an absurd user-hostile proposition. Even more absurd when the they're software keys stored in a database the user can decrypt. The FIDO alliance is just ensuring that password managers will require 3rd party backup tools to be useful.

Password managers have prevented phishing just fine by binding passwords to particular domains, ssh keys prevent phishing with IdentitiesOnly and passkeys are bound in the same way as regular password managers.
Password and other factors are not going anywhere. You can set password, TOTP, email, phone and passkey at the same time. And use passkey because it's convenient. But use other combination of factors, if you need to access website without passkey. At least if website owner allows it. But I think that most websites will allow it.

Kind of for a very long while. You then had a descendant SFU from some SP of NT4 to XP / Server 2003, then a further one SUA until Windows 8 / Server 2012. With some code flowing between various companies. I think SFU still used the Posix NT subsystem core. Probably also SUA, although I'm less sure. Not really the case WSL1, though (although probably the core NT kernel was more ready to support it, thanks to its history).

One way to understand the legitimacy and value of non-analytic philosophy is first to realize that the unmeasurable complexity of the world defies complete exposition by rigorous analytical methods. We must then ask ourselves, are we to bury our heads in the sand and consider only what is provable and what yields to such methods? There is certainly a great deal of value in doing this, modern civilization is built upon brilliant scientists and technicians who have done just that. But to deny the very existence of things outside the scope of analytical methods is to deny fundamental truths about the world.

Ok, if we want to pick our heads up and look around, what are we to make of what we see? How are we to navigate in this strange environment where grotesque and beautiful things undulate, merge, unmerge and dance almost tauntingly all around us at a frenetic pace? The first thing is to give up any hope of tracing this process by unambiguous cause and effect, which in turn means giving up on proof or replicability. Crucially however, one need not give up on truth, for there is a world out there and things are really happening, and it is possible to describe the action you observe, in spite of it not being reducible to neat and tidy chains of reason.

The difficulty with this is that we cannot necessarily share our findings and observations with others and expect them to agree, or hope to build a stable consensus, because the sorts of truths we are concerned with are not trivially derived in the way that mathematical truth is, in its exposition, trivial. Thus in occupying ourselves with these things, we condemn ourselves in a way to perpetual conflict, both internal and external. But the important things to remember is, reality is still out there, it's still happening in a particular way at a particular time, whether we can agree on it or not.
Alternatively, the fact that the very first thing basically everyone who isn't Linus has done with vanilla git is introduce some kind of central authority might suggest that what git was "specifically designed for" is more of an outlier than you want to admit.

Everyone knows Linus invented and "specifically designed" git as a drop-in tool for his existing email-patch-based kernel development workflow, which is not how 99.9% of the rest of the world prefers to operate these days.

We've got a pretty sick society. We've spent so much money developing this technology to clone voices when we've got 8 billion voices on the planet today. We've developed 4K and even 8K video when we've already got beautiful scenes outside -- oh wait, we ruined those already with technology and roads and cars. We've got the smell of beautiful flowers and yet we have an entire chemical industry trying to replicate more artificial smells.

We're sick and AI is the apex of that pathology. Can you imagine how nice life would be if we just devoted all this energy into providing for basic needs and focusing on social problems instead of technological ones? We're making the world worse with this shit.

I have nearly no desire to have my book read my the author. They are good at writing, and an audiobook is not simply “reading” the words on the page. Maybe something like Descript that the author can use to tweak pronunciation after it’s narrated but I don’t want the author’s voice.

I would like train a model on Allyson Johnson’s voice (narrated the Honor Harrington books) and then use that to re-narrate the 1-2 books in one of the spinoffs (I think it was in the Saganami Island series?) where they used a different narrator (who was horrible).

I also might be interested in using it to clean up the Wheel of Time series where, while it’s the same 2 narrators, they change the pronunciation of various names/words book-to-book. “Moghedien” being the one that stands out most. They pronounce it at least 3 different ways:

* Mo-gid-e-on

* Mo-ga-dean

* Mog-a-din

It is, though. Maybe that was a typo, or maybe you didn't bother reading my entire comment, but that's what I believe.

I mean, look at what's happened with anti-abortion laws post Roe v. Wade, with the "anti-woke" backlash leading to book burnings and closing libraries for hosting wrongthink, the whole moral panic over trans "groomers," schools prevented from teaching about slavery in a way that presents it as evil, because that might "victimize white people," the return of school prayer.

I don't see how someone can not see the trends or the way the winds are blowing. One of two viable Presidental candidates has openly called for the repeal of the Constitution because of the imaginary stolen election that led to Jan. 6, and he has a chance because half the country at least agrees with him in principle. We have Republicans openly praising Hitler, citing white supremacist conspiracy theories and calling for the end of democracy. And it's normal now.

This is interesting!

From my understanding I I wouldn't have called this "rediscovering ancient knowledge", given Cinchona tree bark was exported from South America from the 17th century onwards, and the cultivation of trees elsewhere to lower the price was quite a big enterprise.

I understand (and love) that this is written from the Chinese perspective, but it would be good to understand whether this rather huge undertaking had any effect on the researchers' efforts. Or whether it didn't, for some reason, and why that might be.

Never a better time to learn the dichotomy of control. What is in your control is your thoughts and your actions. Outside of your control are: you body, your reputation, your wealth, you health, etc. It matters what you choose to do, but the outcomes are out of your control.
Things such as this make me miss the transflective display on my Fujitsu Stylistic ST-4110 and wish that there were computers available with such a display now (which weren't intended, and priced, for military and maritime usage).

It really is nice to have a screen which works in full, bright, direct sunlight with no need to fuss with angles or seek shade.

Interestingly, Lenovo recently announced a prototype laptop with transparent display:

https://www.gadgets360.com/laptops/news/lenovo-transparent-l...

which I think has a lot of potential:

- it would be amazing for repair work

- similarly for instruction --- hold up the device to compare the current state with what the screen displays

and I'm surprised that they didn't try pairing this with some sort of multiple display setup such as on the Yoga Book 9i (which I'd buy if it just had Wacom EMR).
fwiw, I agree with your sales model. I have bought software (non OSS) that I have tried from warez simply because it was better.

NCAA Swimming Champ Caught In Possession Of Performance-Enhancing Testicles
What I find rather confusing is what happens on each device. There appear to be multiple places where passkeys can get stored (iCloud Keychain, Google account, Chrome profile, Bitwarden, ...?) and depending on where it's stored it may or may not get synced to various other devices, browsers and apps.

So my problem is that I keep forgetting which device, browser or app I used when I created a particular passkey. I'm never asked where I want to store a particular passkey and where I want it to be available. This is all an implicit function of a combination of factors apparently.

It's like misplacing my keys has been taken to a whole new level of abstraction :-)

When did factory farms meat become quality ?? I think you're mistaking quantity and low price for quality.

I think this discounts the rest of the work required in converting a technological solution into a product. That is, marketing, sales, support, strategy, operations, and oftentimes, UI/UX work.

But in general, yes, I feel that the bigger issue here is a fundamental mismatch between the author's desires and their chosen license. It's not so different from signing a contract with terms you later regret.

Maybe we need better licenses.
I always thought that Bitwarden, the password manager, was open source, but the Secret Manager was a paid add-on that was not fully open source. Is that not the case?
not my field, but isn't meat pretty lossy compression food-wise? IIRC, feeding an animal to later eat instead of just eating what the animal would eat wastes like 90% (not sure of the exact figure) of the calories. So if we just ate the plants directly and easily cover our caloric needs without going through the cow-middleman.

Kind of like, instead of feeding the cows a bunch of soy and then eating the cow, just eat the soy as tofu or edamame instead.

Of course a lot of people prefer eating meat, but that's besides the point.
