Twitter / X has a very interesting captcha: you get to see 10 objects that have weird colors and are slightly deformed, and then you have to match them (1 at a time) with another row that has the same objects but seen from a different angle.

Of course eventually this will be defeated too, but for now it seems to work pretty well.

Dude are you okay?
I suggest you spend 20 hours evaluating the results of 10 prompts vs 1 prompt with multiple perspectives to learn the truth about the matter rather than trying to armchair expert.

Edit in response to your wall of text: I have *extensively* tested the results of multi-shot prompting vs repeated single shot prompting, and the differences between them are not material to the outcome of "averaging" results, or selecting the best result. You can theorize all you want, but the real world would like a word.

Proving the value is the hard problem. It's almost impossible to prove the value of small changes today. Product wants things to do X and they decided the value tradeoff was good, not the engineers who are tasked with making it so.

If you have ever been responsible for managing the security of your team in the face of rumors, this conversation rings of truth.

The humanitarian organization I worked for eradicated every last small-head US dollar from circulation in our salary payments in 24 hours because the staff brought us a rumour that was circulating in the market that small-head dollars would not be accepted by the banks anymore.

Rumors can kill (literally, or maybe if you're lucky, only morale).
Actually we didn’t. Licensure by foreign entities has always been restricted in the US. It happens in engineering business as well. I think it has something to do with the extent of juris on foreign entities without involving the department of state

I agree with the sentiment that you should simply reduce and focus. With that in mind, I would also encourage you to write down things related to the interests that you don't give any focus to — inevitably, they will come up. Random ideas, articles, people talking about it, etc. And I think they needs to be processed to get them out of your system.

Personally, I enjoy at least writing down the ideas, passions, or motivations I have towards them somewhere and collecting them. Then, if the time comes when I choose that interest or topic, I already have a good bunch of well-marinated ideas. Of course, that can also overwhelm me, but then you just go to step 1 again!
AdFlush (F1 Score: 0.98) seems to do better than some other adblockers: AdGraph (F1 score: 0.93), WebGraph (F1 score: 0.90), and WTAgraph (F1 score: 0.84), but it begs the question: why not compare to the most popular adblockers: uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus etc.

I think the authors want to compare apples with apples, so they only compare their algorithm to other adblockers that use algorithms, as opposed to those which use crowdsourced lists. The paper somewhat acknowledges this:

> However, manual maintenance of these filter lists requires significant human effort

Seems like one of those tasks where crowdsourcing scales so nicely (only one person has to report an ad for it to go into a crowdsourced list that blocks it for millions of others) that it makes an algorithmic approach unnecessary.

When I was a youngling, I dreamed of having headphones with the opposite power -- muting specific people. For me, it's not the hubbub of a crowd that's distracting, it's usually one or two offending specimens - like in the video example, the inconsiderate vermin using a speakerphone in public.

I wonder if the problem maps easily from "select this source" to "select everything but that source"

> the accelerated rate at which the changes can be made, relative to traditional methods

Citation needed there. I know the claim is common, but GMO is inserting one known mutation. How many mutations are there from parent to children is not something I can find a citation for, but since most mutations do nothing (or kill the child) there must be a lot of mutations involved in traditional breeding not one which means that GMO is much decelerated vs traditional breeding.

Tim-like pedantry corner: the quarries and the catacumbs are actually the same thing. Catacumbs are parts of the quarries that have been turned to ossuaries, and are reachable from the wider quarry network.

> You’d think exploring the closed parts of the catacombs would be right up his alley

I'm not that sure, since he does not want to do illegal stuff (like for the belgian test track where the factory is now closed to the public). As for visiting those parts legally, well, I'm only aware of a few instances where there has been the media granted access. But it was more for documentaries about how the police works down there, not for a general history lesson. Both the police nor the IGC (the french administration managing the quarries) will bother with Tim sadly. So yes it'd be up his alley if he could do it legally.

> They’ve been cracking up on trespassers recently

It's actually the opposite. There's a constant cat-and-mouse game going on, and they're switching strategies recently, which I could experience first-hand. Current strategy is about prevention because they know they cannot prevent people from getting down there, so they're emphasizing safety and not hurting yourself because they "don't want to get woken up at 9AM a sunday morning because someone got lost".
It's depressing to think of the different ways livestock are treated like livestock on a factory farm, too.

> Selective breeding takes time and has intermediate stages that help you see if you’re on the right track.

Only if selective breeding needs more than one mutation, otherwise you are just waiting/searching for the desired mutation in a random sample.

> Direct modification: if you get it wrong you’re back to the drawing board.

Either way you are back the the drawing board. Just that with selective breeding you have no idea how much longer you will wait to get the desired mutation.

> then when do you take action (if ever)?

I think you _never_ take secretive action. You don't go behind someone's back.

They should have said, "Sam, we think you are wrong, we think we are right, and we think you are not listening, so we are going to take this to the board."

They should not have conspired.

Don't conspire.

Also, in my experience, in a situation like this where sides A and B see things differently, and side B can't convince side A they are wrong, _both_ sides are usually wrong. People can easily see how others are wrong, but often find it harder to see how their position is also wrong. The solution is to keep talking it out. Until that correct position C is found.

When Side B is so confident that they are right and take secret action against Side A, not only do they still get things wrong (because the still yet to be discovered idea C is the correct position), but they are guilty of dishonest behavior, as those that conspired against SamA are here.
Don't worry. It wouldn't matter if they released the report. These law firms are charged to find nothing and say nothing.

First, you take a yellow legal pad and create a pros and cons list.

Just fucking with you.

Try one thing at a time. If you have 200 interests, I guarantee you that you've never actually done most of them. Pick one, any one, and do it. Set aside some time (ideally 90 minutes) and do it every day for two weeks. You may find that you like the idea of the thing more than you like actually doing that thing. If you really enjoy it, keep doing it and ignore the rest! If you don't like doing that thing, pick another of your 200 out of a hat and try that for two weeks.
How much of that is due to ad-tech companies like Google conditioning people into thinking that way? What if online payments weren't so god awful and allowed people to throw in a few dollars as easily as they might at a toll booth? That's still an unsolved problem too. Credit card companies have solidified their involvement in every facet of the process and the alternatives are non-starters for frictionless commerce.

I'm still happy to put my money where my mouth is and do pay for services which are genuinely useful to me. But this is not the kind of internet I imagined when growing up.

Auditory processing disorder?
In my earlier years pre 18 I did EVERYTHING, when I say everything I mean it, football, cricket, adobe flash (remember Ray games), competitive gaming, after effects, photoshop, coding, 3d, sculpting, chess, painting, music production, enthusiastic reading and writing and I was PRETTY good/way above average at all but over time it just became impossible especially with a job and college at the time so I went from a jack of all trades to "master" of a few (my current routine now is basically gym & programming), you just literally can't do it all while working at least.

The good thing is a lot of that is lying dormant in wait so the plan I came up with back then was to hone the few since I wasn't born rich (been grinding the past decade) and make some good money, semi-retire and resume what I can in my late 30s when I don't have to work 24/7. I'd love to get up one day and just make pottery, paint or come up with ambient music in fl studio.

My overall lesson and what I've found to work and be happy is don't chase "mastery", being proficient enough to enjoy the activity is good enough, I can juggle a ball but I can't do advanced tricks and that's fine, I can sculpt a bust but I can't get the anatomy 100% like a true artisan, my paintings won't sell but they look good on my walls, I can make music others would listen to but it won't become a viral hit and lastly in my dedicated field I can write good enough code to live great life but I won't ever be a geohot or John Carmack or some bit shifting wizard.

I sympathise with the struggle of losing a major specie, and of course the cultural significance is great and will never fully vanish.

One thing is to protect nature, another to reject somehow inevitable change happening all the time.

A legitimate concern could emerge on discussing whether there is no better plan, because IMHO this plan offered false hopes, and perhaps many such restoration plans provide more hopes than quantitative performance indicators.
The first step is accepting that you don’t have enough time to do it all simultaneously. From there, I’d suggest you to prioritize the most salient interests. I’d also give preference to interests which require a long-term time commitment. For instance, one of my hobbies is strength training; I always prioritize it over sometimes-more-salient interests because strength is use-it-or-lose it, and other interests are often fleeting, for me.

> Communist rights, however, are not laws of nature because they do not work with humans. Humans are not beehives.

The laws of nature do not include any rights, unless there's some new physics I'm not aware of.

> But the most compelling argument for "natural rights" is observing how well societies work that enforce them, and how well they work when other systems of rights are tried. The evidence is pretty clear.

This is an argument from morality. You start with the premise that a good societal outcome is morally good and then use that to justify the rights you advocate for.

You fundamentally cannot make an argument for what something should be like without resorting to morality. Without it, you can only make arguments on what things are.
You keep this up you will be mediocre at all the things that you do.

You are seduced by the feeling of excitement which is easy to conflate with progress and competence.

I guess some interests will have be postponed for some other time some other life some other you.

Peace.
As time goes on, rooting is becoming more annoying.

Even if your phone supports it (unlocked bootloader and all that), many applications (financial in particular) block rooted devices. There are workarounds, like with Magisk, but it is a cat and mouse game, and you never know how long things will continue to work. The worst part is that more and more often, you need these apps, as banks may restrict the kind of operations you can do if you don't have an app installed, or for two-factor authentication.

So if you want to play with a rooted device, chances is that you will need two phones. A daily driver for banking and stuff, and one for playing with. But if you are to go with a second device, you may prefer an other kind of device, maybe a small laptop, or a Steam Deck.

This is obviously different for everyone (and the general problem is fundamental to finite human lifetime and other resources).

For me, I'm definitely putting more effort into things I'm relatively skilled in (both inherent, and due to prior work/historical advantage/access/etc.). Also stuff with the highest return on effort for the amount of effort I'm reasonably likely to put into it (so, something which requires 100 hours to get any result is still possibly ok, but something which requires 4000 hours/yr for 10 years to get any result is much less interesting; something which requires 4000h/yr for 10 years but with incremental rewards, maybe.

Also helps when interests are clustered -- I like hardware, and security, and infrastructure, and crypto, and finance, and satellites, and communications, and military/next gen drone stuff, and interesting legal and jurisdictional arbitrage, and there's a lot of crossover among those, more so than adding other interests outside of that galaxy like art.

Keeping enough spare time/other capacity to take advantage of opportunities as they come up is good, too. e.g. I'm interested in semiconductor fab stuff, but not at a deep professional level doing anything in it, but when I get a chance to work on (security, infra) in that context, I jump on it.

For me, it’s realizing that I can’t achieve mastery in even a fraction of the things I’m interested in. However, I don’t need a very high skill level for many activities to be enjoyable and/or useful to me.

I feel you just need a couple of months dedicating some time most days to get to a basic level, or a bit beyond that. It’s only when you reach intermediate levels that you start to see diminishing returns from the time invested. So, I define 1-2 things I want to focus on for the next couple of months and ignore all the others. Then, depending on how things went, I continue with the same or move on to others. I have an hour reserved each to day to do whatever the current focus is.

For example, a couple of years ago, I spent a good amount of the year learning to play guitar to say a advanced beginner level. I know I’ll never become a virtuoso, not even will I be able to play most of the things I like to listen to. But that doesn’t mean it’s not immensely enjoyable to just sit down every now and then and noodle around on the instrument for relaxation.
Damn! I hadn't even considered that. You've opened my eyes to a world a never knew existed.
