Oh so that's why you have to push it through yourself these days. That way they don't touch the thing and so can't steal anything.
It's relatively easy for a US person to do an international wire to Japan. It wouldn't be a big deal to do a monthly wire from all the development they're supposed to be doing.

That doesn't mean clients would want to do it. There's a component of real business in being a US face and accepting US checks at a US address for outsourcing. Of course, coming from a cold email, it's almost certainly a scam, regardless of the alleged country of developers.
There are no “friendly” zero sum games about money. Either you are playing to win, or you are wasting time. Anyone who thinks otherwise is, obviously, just wasting time (which is okay, but don’t pretend it’s a “friendly game”, it’s just a distraction, not a game.)

If you’re not playing for stakes where you care if you win or lose, then just don’t play for money at all.

I know lots of hobby poker players, firmly nonprofessionals, who play in non-serious 2/5 and 5/5 home games where the buyin is $500-3000.

Penny poker is totally pointless for anyone not below the literal/actual poverty line where $40 is actually lifechanging money. If you’re not homeless and want to play $0.25/$0.50, just play for points/chips then instead of cosplaying gambling.

>2. They do not care about foreigners or crimes unless they involve Chinese citizens.

Don't know if they really care that much about Chinese citizens. Probably just the ones in the politburo.
I think in this instance they got the email associated with the iCloud and messaged her on that.

Edit: she replied to a comment on the article: "when trying to reset my phone they are prompted to enter my iCloud password. My iCloud email is also one of the ways to reach me via iMessage. So they used that to contact me"
Invincible is really cool though
You can also check the size of Brazil vs. Italy, domestic market, and other factors that could gelp them grow. Brazil is showing its potential and realization and moving up in the rankings.

I think the interesting aspect is that they have room to grow, doing business in Brazil is not easy for foreigners. While this is true for Latam at large Brazil is also much different from the business perspective than other countries in the region. I think this is connected that they have a larger population which brings a big domestic market.
I managed mine very badly during my 20's and 30's (lots of consumer debt). I'm 55 now, mortgage free in single digit years, healthy investment accounts for retirement and no debt.

There are few secrets, just common sense really:

- Live within your means (spend less than you earn), avoid debt.
- Corollary: Have a good paying job (tech is handy for this)
- Save early put 10% (at least) of your gross salary into investments such as low MER ETFs, re-balance every 6 months - or use a Robo Advisor that does it for you.
- A partner/spouse helps immensely (and you both need to be aligned wrt goals and spending habits!)
- Balance savings and the future with enjoying life

Fair question. The requirement is to create something new or content, and the first thing you do once you log in is exactly that. Doesn't take you anywhere else but to create.

I've noticed that in my hobby (guitar), all the influencers will release the same equipment reviews at the exact same time. They often refer to each other, and do co-labs. Lots of "my buddy" referrals, so to speak...

As for the first point, that's just how marketing works these days. All the big influencers will get the equipment weeks before, test it out, and make reviews with the clause that they can't say anything about it until the agreed time. It of course feels highly coordinated, and those new releases absolutely dominate the social media, when the release/drop happens.

Then all the smaller influencers will feed off that, and drop their own reviews the next days / weeks, or whenever they get the equipment.

At one point, one starts to think - is it all authentic, or just made-up stuff to increase views, affiliate sales, etc.

(This, of course, pales in comparison to the teen/beauty/etc. influencers, that will band together in a shared house, create PR friendships purely to pump up numbers, etc.)
I disagree. Being able to send a quick voicemail to other people in a small, agile team with high interoperability and trust would be invaluable.

For idea leader management types, this would be great for putting their inspiration down in concrete form and sending action items to their implementers.

But for large, boring corporate teams with little to no autonomy and even a scintilla of micromanagement? This would be terrible. I would quit any company with more than 100 people in it that forced this on me on the spot.
Modeling reality as a static system does not eliminate free will.

When you model reality as some static crystal you observe from the outside, your intuition helpfully adds things like 1) some outside where there is time (otherwise “static” has no meaning, it’s defined in terms of time) and 2) you (the conscious observer with free will to inspect the crystal). Those things create the tension of respectively “everything already happened” and “no free will in there, surely”, but very counter-intuitively they don’t belong in that model in the first place.
Thanks for taking the time to clarify. All the things you point out were actually clear to me (I was just kidding after all) but I think it doesn't hurt to give some good examples to illustrate the actual underlying issue.

This is one reason I like Arch. It is almost as vanilla as can be (some exceptions may apply) while still being a "build it yourself Lego set" (build not in the compile sense).
This comment got downvoted because you’re about to watch a racist and problematic movie.
As a counterexample, I'm super perplexed at the helix team -- an editor that myself and many others migrated to because we know / like rust -- decided on a lisp for their plugin system. Having recently tried to get into lisp (3 or 4 different highly recommended books / courses)... I really wish they had gone in a different direction here. Tempted to go back to nvim -- the lua config was pretty nice!

The ISS has a clever trick of using zeolite beds to absorb CO2 (a rock with pores that selectively hold onto CO2, and H2O but they dry the air first), and then venting it to space to get rid of the CO2 and recharge them.
>> including further entrenchment of existing inequalities, manipulation and misinformation, and loss of control of autonomous AI systems

1. further entrenchment of existing inequalities ... we were doing this LONG before AI came along. This isnt a new problem, it's not like AI is the reason some groups are under-represented in tech. (and it's not like tech itself is to blame alone).

2. manipulation and misinformation... Go back in history and the progressive movement was all in on eugenics in the early 1900's. Alex jones is a thing today. This was already a problem.

3. loss of control of autonomous AI systems ... there's the doomer I know and love! If your an AIG doomer go read I, Pencil. Look at the guy who tried to make a toaster from nothing (and bread too). Read up about how brittle the entire power system is. Things are falling apart because we're too cheap to put the people and resources into maintaining them. Unless AGI wants to die in the process it's going to be a long time before a world exists where it doesn't need people.

Seriously, climate change, nuclear threats, a bad screw up in bio research... way more likely to kill us all than for us to get to AGI.

AI today is about as useful as a bitcoin in a black out. It's interesting but it doesn't DO anything other than waste power and resources.

EDIT: it was so worrying that all the main safety folks quit openAI and no longer want to save us /s

Doesn't this kind of make sense? Stuff with high personal resonance, by virtue of being personal, has a specific audience. That sounds trite, but I at least tend to underrate how much the stuff I really like is just a weirdly shaped key fitting into a weirdly shaped lock somewhere in my brain.
The idea that Tao has accomplished more than, say, Serre because the latter, who won the Fields medal at 27, only received his PhD at 25 and his bachelor's at 22 while the former received his PhD at 21 and his bachelor's at 16 is so absurd that it can be refuted merely by alluding to it.

Your other points are similar.
Yeah, it's kind of hard to go back once you've embraced the "build your own distro" distros.

This has existed since the whole ‘influencer’ phenomenon began, particularly on social media. I recall reading an article in 2014 about how Samsung allegedly spread slander against HTC. It’s the reason why I don’t rely on YouTube for reviews, tutorials, or anything beyond pure entertainment or documentaries. It seems that everyone is compensated in one way or another. In fact, monetization is the reason why social media has devolved into this state.
It stood out to me that after the initial text, they followed up two weeks later, and then once per day after that over a few days from different numbers. I would have expected to see someone send out a few threatening messages on one day and then move on to the next stolen phone when it was clear they weren't getting anything.

But the LLM doesn't "want" anything. Prompt goes in, tokens come out. When there are no prompts coming in, there are no tokens coming out. Just stop talking to it and all risks are eliminated...

You can't "align it to want certain things" when it doesn't have the capacity to "want" in the first place.
You can already change the configuration in the installer, it's called manual partition setup. The installer doesn't need a clicky screen for every setting that may have changed over the last 30 years.

True. But it is pretty darn closely correlated: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/human-development-index-v...
My point is that one of the arguments against universal healthcare in the States that gets trotted out is that Canadians have waits so long or that the healthcare is so restricted that they are dying or that they can't get care.

If people were actually having to wait that long that their health was seriously threatened, they would likely be engaging in medical tourism on a much bigger scale. If you needed surgery or you were going to die/be permanently disabled and the Canadian system wasn't able to provide it, people would be driving across the border, flying to Mexico/Thailand/wherever, or doing whatever else they needed to not die or have their life impacted.

But that doesn't happen. What it tells you is that, as much as some Americans paint a false picture to slander single payer healthcare, and as much as some Canadians complain about waiting, the Canadian system is still better than any alternative available to the participants, despite the alternative being a quick drive away for most of us.
As a counterpoint, I feel like my experience with platforms such as bandcamp, YouTube, private trackers, etc. replicate much of the serendipity of a record shop, while vastly increasing discoverability.

I love going into a record shop as much as the next guy, but I do find that I discover more new things which actually stick via the internet. I also find that I am able to rely more on network-based algorithms for discoverability if the community is well-aligned. Even better if I can navigate myself when the underlying data is exposed via similarity maps, tags and other hypertext.

Recommendation algorithms we see on corporate social platforms (Spotify included) generally suck because the underlying data is not exposed to the user. That would be bad for ad revenue. These platforms enjoy the profound level of mind control which they employ towards their users, and are loathe to surrender it.
So… don’t keep large files you want to control the lifecycle of in directories you don’t own? If you care about it, stop putting it in /tmp. You were always setting yourself up for a bad surprise by doing this, and now you’re surprised?
I feel bad because I mention it here all the time but "Trust me I'm Lying" is a great book about modern guerilla marketing that gives some concrete examples of the sort of things I'm always skeptical of in "organic" online content. If I were in some corporate or state think tank I'd be spending all day trying to figure out how to get some post about "my wife's shirt" on the front page of Reddit with my product or propaganda in the background.

I think you may have touched on the actual lesson of psychedelics:

"I think the preponderance of evidence points strongly to these phenomena being purely mental"

Agreed. Along with all phenomena anyone experiences in general.

We all create reality strictly in our heads which corresponds, with varying degrees of accuracy, to external phenomena.

We like to think this is not the case and we are in possession of "objective fact", or maybe we are not at this moment, but objective reality certainly is out there and we are on track to get it.

But maybe it's really just mental abstractions all the way down. All the way down into the earliest evolutionary days of perceiving distinction between light and dark.

We cannot see certain wavelengths of light for example. But butterflies can. So when I look at a flower with UV markings and a butterfly looks at the same flower, who is right? How much more "information" is available about (for instance) this flower if we could only perceive it? How much magnesium is in it? How about if we couldn't see things that were not static for more then a day just like we can't see sub-millisecond motion with our eyes and have to measure it with instruments? Would the flower even exist for us in casual every day life at that point?

We have monkey eyes for the most part. We see what a highly evolved monkey would need to see, no less, no more. This in my opinion is what is so startling (and potentially therapeutic) about psychedelics. It awakens us to the fact that perception, which we firmly believed to be unassailable reality, is just perception and there exists the possibility to think about things in new ways, to create a new reality in a manner of speaking.
I know the person personally. They went into the hospital emergency with chest complaints. The person in question had no address and no relatives. The doctors there wouldn't admit him. They suggested he use MAID. Yes, they actually suggested it.

Three weeks later he returned to the same hospital with a relative and they admitted him. He had heart failure. The doctors admitted they their mistake the first time and should have admitted him.
Cool deal dude. Confirmation bias and false extrapolation are common tools of the human mind to avoid the fact that very little is known for certain. Which is to say, humans are often uncomfortable acknowledging profound ignorance, and for most things - that's exactly what we are.

Therefore, stating that a bunch of people on hacker news wrote something goes on to say absolutely nothing more than just exactly that.

This is to point out the extrapolations you made are totally unsupported without more than anecdata. The very well sourced article linked would indicate you are cherry-picking and/or misrepresenting.
> Influencer cartels can improve consumer welfare if they expand social media engagement to the target audience
> Back-of-the-envelope calculations (based on regression analysis) show that if advertisers pay for cartel engagement as if it were natural engagement, they receive only 3–18% of the value with general cartels, and 60–85% with topic cartels.

First, users don't benefit from cartel engagement at all. The authors have forgotten to factor in opportunity costs of 100%. A "85% good" engagement that pushes a 100% engagement from my feed costs me 15%. This is plainly obvious by, well, the need to form a cartel in the first place.

Second, the authors define both good engagement and topic cartels by comment similarity. You can't get any other result other than that topic cartels beat general cartels.

Third, the column uses stuffy language. Write clearly and you spot mistakes such as one and two more easily.

Fourth, as a regular app user I regard everything influencer-shilled as negative welfare – but that's just my opinion.

If you are lucky and join/lead/get a new project off the ground, then you'll also grow.

If you're just trying to move the dial on a normal project, then its very difficult to make any kind of headway. You are surrounded by overly enthusiastic hall monitor types who will put in more hours than you, or post more than you.

While sort of funny, it is also crazy and disappointing the extent to which these scammers go. It’s not fun receiving death threats and having that stress over you. I wish we had more the law could do in bringing these criminals to justice.
This idea is largely regarded as making the codebase less maintainable since it can be more difficult to test discrete logical units of the SQL code than doing so for the application code.

> Fifteen percent of officers will abuse their authority at every opportunity. The remaining 70 percent could go either way depending on whom they are working with.

This is why I find it bizarre that the behavior of bad cops is minimized by calling them "a few bad apples", when the entire aphorism is "one bad apple spoils the bunch".
>If we knew the answer, we would know how to make a perfectly aligned AGI.

Actually no, we wouldn't. The problem, at the moment, is even more basic than "what values should we align an AGI with". Currently, the problem is "how do we robustly align an AI with any set of values."

We currently do not know how to do this. You could hand OpenAI a universal set of safe values inscribed on stone tablets from god, and they wouldn't know what to do with them.

To state it another way, people like to talk about paperclip maximizers. But here's the thing: if we wanted, to we couldn't purposefully make such a maximizer.

Right now, AI values are emergent. We can sort-of-kind-of steer them in some general directions, but we don't know how to give them rules that they will robustly follow in all situations, including out-of-context.

Look at how easy it is to jailbreak current models into giving you instructions on how to build a bomb. All current AI companies would prefer if their products would never do this, and yet they have been unable to ensure it. They need to solve that problem before they can solve the next one.

I remember liking it at the time, but that's all. Now I'm going to go back and read it again. Must have missed something.
It says something for how explosively popular social media is that an article like this can just refer to it as "the internet" and nobody questions it in a tech forum.

Your average person isn’t running Linux or compiling things. The comment was in the context of developer laptops.

...are you okay?
I can see it, OS doesn't nag the user and things stay static aside from automatic updates, which you could even disable if you wanna be around for them. Problem is even some web things will not work the same in Linux, for example Netflix officially only supports 720p, and hardware compatibility isn't guaranteed (bluetooth and wifi especially).
