Not sure I understand your point. There are a lots of rules and regulations on what Olympic athletes are allowed to do. What they eat, what they inject, what they wear. All of that is to make the competition as fair as possible and to have a level playing field so as to make for an interesting competition, to draw viewers, which is what the sponsors care about.

For people watching esports, they need to believe that the game isn't rigged and people aren't cheating. A couple more scandals and the sponsors are going to require cloud-gaming just to keep viewers.

They don't sell treated balls, no. Not to the MLB or to anyone else. The mud folks are not in the business of performing ball treatments; they are instead in the business of selling mud.

As I understand it, in professional baseball, it is the job of the umpires to this use mud to take the sheen off of new balls, pre-game.

The mud itself is for sale, and has been for a very long time: https://www.baseballrubbingmud.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Sc...

There is nothing here to be sad or outraged about. There is no scarcity or exclusivity here.

Nothing but a small amount of money and mutual agreement on a procedural change prevents anyone from getting some of this same mud from the same source and having their own umpires in their own [kid or adult] league do the same thing for new baseballs.

Or: There is nothing that prevents a person from buying some of this mud and using it to pre-process baseballs, and -- as you say -- marketing the fuck out of it.
> "[get good grades =] college degree = white collar job = comfortable middle-class lifestyle"

It's not entirely, but mostly a lie omitting AI & automation, outsourcing, and the crushing debt of college loans. The end resulting job ladder has to be worth the opportunity cost of time and investment of treasure and debt.

Working with your hands in skilled trade probably can't be replaced anytime soon while office jobs are waiting for the other shoe to drop for layoffs.

0. Apprentice somewhere surrounded by people who are passionate about excellence and integrity.

1. Find a local area that needs a large enough niche(s) such as automotive mechanic A/C-electric, commercial HVAC, or jet turbine overhauling and own your own business when you can rather than being an employee.

The other thing that has to change is women discriminating against men who don't have Master's degree, don't work in an office jobs, and/or aren't already decamillionaires because it's one of the subtle, unrealistic pressures placed on 20- to 30-something men who are often sent mixed messages about lacking academic achievement they're systematically dissuaded from pursuing.

Two parents working doesn't matter when the environment is safe. When I was a kid both of my parents did work but I was walking alone/with friends to my school and back and didn't need to ask permission to go outside play with others. And mind you, that was a time when kid kidnapping was stil a thing. Imo what changed is abundance of cars- look how many ppl a killed by them, how big the cars got, how many spacy these take, look how far away is everything in suburbs- you basically need a car to meet with someone, it's even worse than a village due to the lack of a grid design. Also, because of spreading many third places became unprofitable, others were buldozed to create parkings esp in us with parking requirements. The zoning played a big role too- a lot of businesses that attract ppl, make the environment safer with social regulation and creating social bounds- can no longer be created bc of zoning. When tech did appear - it's natural ppl switched, bc these did offer more options to socialize safely compared to real world
Elon is talking out his arse as usual.
I recall vehemently disagreeing with Chomsky on many things when I was much younger, but then I somehow stumbled upon Howard Zinn’s “People’s history of the United States” and realized the version of history I knew was basically concentrated propaganda I was brainwashed into believing. That opened the door to understanding Chomsky. “Manufacturing consent” explains our present state of affairs really well.
I remember the same experience watching a 3D video of Bjork on YouTube, back when 3D video was the big new thing that would take over the world (amazingly, YouTube still supports the UI to turn the video around). It was very cute and interesting, and novel, but like all novelties, it wore off quickly.

I worded that part poorly, and did not bring up what really bothers me about it, that he tried to deny that there was a genocide in Cambodia. I agree with what you said. The idea that the US is innocent in Cambodia or really anything going on in that part of the world at that time is beyond false.
It may be one of the reasons, but maybe you should compare deaths caused by dangerous drug addicts vs cars in the us? To get a perspective

Depends where in Japan; I live in a small city, and it is the worst urban sprawl that you could ever imagine. You absolutely need a car for everything, but at the same time the streets are really narrow and dark, and without sidewalks. It is not fun, to put it mildly.
I think it’s different. It’s not just doing something but doing something with an end in mind.

I’m not saying one is better than the other. But having an end in mind will yield more productivity.
Zinn's reputation among historians: not all that great.
And never will (probably), Apple has been clear for years about market segmentation.
Or don't. The older I get, the more I find the obsession with work and hyper productivity to be pointless.

This might be good advice for young people starting their careers, but even then I would advise prioritizing real life goals over work. Don't buy into the entrepreneur ideals you see on social media. People can be successful without working all day, everyday. Take rests, prioritize your health, and enjoy life first. Work is secondary.
In my experience game engines just suck. How can cheats exist in a server authoritative game engine architecture? But alas, most programmers have apparently no idea what they're doing when it comes to "netcode".
As the NY times notes in the URL its under /opinion/

The author of an NY times article is on record thusly:

In 2021, the same Alina Chan who penned the NYT op-ed said the following:

“I have days where I think this could be natural. And if it’s natural, then I’ve done a terrible thing because I’ve put a lot of scientists in a very dangerous spot by saying that they could be the source of an accident that resulted in millions of people dying. I would feel terrible if it’s natural and I did all this.”
Ah, a kinematics issue.

Yes, ions and charges will flow in Bio too, but that flow is generally restricted and used somehow. Nature is always finding a way to take a toll. Cells will also set up a voltage difference to accomplish things too, all on their own.

Like, cells are quite happy to make massive charge differences (for their size) and then use that to do some little thing. Generally, they use ATP to skit around those pesky little entropy issues to act like Maxwell's Demon.

Like, they are using ion flow/current and deciding how that will benefit them. They gate it, on and off, to induce all kinds of signaling and meiosis and energy transferring.

So, in Bio, a voltage/ion gradient isn't really thought of as the same way in EE. Like, we care about 10 or so K+ ions, that little of a difference can do all sorts of things for a cell. ANd the voltage potentials can be titanic, because the distance are so small. That Van Der Wals force man, you don't think it do, but it do.

One important and subtle thing I learned going from my engineering/physics background and into bio is not assume that cells are little micro machines. They are in fact alive. They study you back, in their own limited ways. They try very hard to stay alive too. So, when bio people talk about cells doing things, we really do mean that they have agency.
No but if you want to distribute your app and hope to get any users at all then you need to sign/notarize your app then release it on the macos app store.
I once TA’d an intro to unix class where I had to help a lot of students this way.

I would vocalize e.g. “find -name '*png'” as “find space hyphen name space single-quote asterisk png single-quote enter”.

I found that saying it exactly like that had the highest success rate. I never wanted to type it for them because the point of the class was to get familiar with unix and the shell.

This in a sidebar in the article:

The central idea of the lab leak hypothesis, that the virus spilled over from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, is only possible if the virus from which SARS-CoV-2 originated was actually ever inside the institute itself. If the virus originated naturally, with parts of it found in animals that were located in a wild population in Laos, which genetic sequencing uncovered in 2021 indicates, the lab leak hypothesis is ruled out as a possibility. You cannot create something through gain-of-function research that will have an identical genetic code to something that came about in the wild through natural processes such as recombination.

This has to be some segment of the middle-class and especially newly-upper-middle-by-income-but-not-socialization running into this trouble. Parents “under” that set just send their kids to [name of state] State where OK test scores and grades do the job. That’s a large majority of parents of college-bound kids, right there.

Parents “above” that set let the legacy admissions advantage and golfs-with-Ivy-admissions-officers prep school counselor sort it out.

Kids seriously looking to get into highly-selective schools are a minority.

This does mean you’re opting your kids out of elite schools by not playing that game from an early age, but hey, you and everybody (the colloquial “everybody”—most folks) else.

The difference is that Apple has been doing this on-device for maybe 4-5 years already with the Neural Engine. Every iOS version has brought more stuff you can search for.

The current addition is "just" about adding a natural language interface on top of data they already have about your photos (on device, not in the cloud).

My iPhone 14 can, for example, detect the breed of my dog correctly from the pictures and it can search for a specific pet by name. Again on-device, not by sending my stuff to Google's cloud to be analysed.
Counterpoint: this is one of the most disappointing releases I've seen.

I hold Snow Leopard to high esteem still because it made everything faster and smoother.

Well there's the rub. Snow Leopard was largely a bug fix release. Sonoma is atrocious. It is the buggiest release I've dealt with since the pre-Tiger days. You name it, it's broken. File sharing (both SMB and AFP are broken in different ways). Dtrace. Keyboard input. The atrociously enshittified settings app. Hell iMessage stopped synchronizing with my phone while I'm on a VPN.

As long as the focus is on whiz bang bullshit I can't imagine Sequoia will be any good.
This is very interesting!

One thing I really want but missing in Jupyter is a straightforward auto-completion integrated with something like Copilot. I'm spoiled by the "just-mashing-Tab development", where I just type a few words and let auto-complete do the rest.

The lack of auto-completion is the main reason I prefer using VS Code or Neovim recently over Jupyter even for experiments.

I made a software that eliminates the need for virtual assistants
Yes you read that right.

I made a software that eliminates the need for virtual assistants.

My name is Marion, and I’m the Co-Founder of ReachWizard; A software aimed to serve as a virtual assistant for businesses.

Why did I create this?

I spent months trying to identify a pain point in the market. “What do businesses AND customers need? What is something that can help both?”

I spent months thinking about this. Until, I stumbled upon the idea of virtual assistants.

There are lot’s of issues that businesses run into when employing a virtual assistant:

Time zone differences — depending on the location of the business and location of the VA, time zones can cause delays in communication and make it difficult to schedule/achieve things efficiently.

Performance — VA’s may not always meet deadlines or keep up consistent quality work. It’s hard to ensure that your VA is staying productive and focusing on their tasks.
The lists goes on but the point I’m trying to make across the board is,

Businesses run into many problems when hiring a VA.

This is not to say VA’s don’t get the job done or aren’t worth it. I 100% support them and everything they do.

However, what if I were to tell you about a software that does all the tasks that a VA does:

Handles conversation while maintaining authenticity, responds to customers within 1–2 minutes, gives 100% accurate and tailored responses to the client, and is 10x cheaper than hiring a standard VA.

Introducing ReachWizard.

Started by me and my partner, we offer a software that acts completely like a human VA.

Testing this tool for the past month has been very fun. The responses it gives us is amazing. I would never guess I’m talking to a software.

I have seen incredible results with this and I can’t wait to launch it to the market this week.

Launch day is expected by the end of this week; we are currently adding people to our waitlist.

It is certain that over the next 10 years, AI is going to do more than 50% of the tasks we are currently doing everyday as a front or backend devs. This will in turn reduce the need of devs too. But, this can't necessarily be a downside. AI has open up a big window of possibilities, not just for large companies but also for devs like us. I can literally think of 10 small AI products I could build quick after learnig some ML, exploring the vast amount of OSS repos and levaraging openai (potentially). You spent time as a chef and now are a web dev. I don't think that would have been as easy as it sounds like. Similar way, adapting to AI wouldn't too tricky too.

All of us have been implementing things through manual logic so far. For example, If I need to find patterns in some given data, I'd write some regex, extend it over time to cover more possible inputs and it would just work with the frequent updates to code. Think it in AI way. I'd build a model, train it with sample inputs and outputs and over time it'd be able to learn the patterns by itself without having the modify or extend the code. Sounds fascinating to me. People want things like these, that don't require a dedicated dev to maintain themselves, that run on itself, just like a business that runs on autopilot.

Try to stay strong and think how can you make something easier for someone else and build it. You don't necessarily have to work for someone else to be able to make a living. And even if you have to, don't think AI is not for you. Apply it (theoretically) on what you're doing, maybe you can find some ways to do something lot easier than what that is. Hope it helps.
Some cities-yes, but vast majority of us suburbs are not designed to promote community, rather the opposite and many cities were buldozed so much that a community existing there is rather an exception
Considering how AI folks tend to start foaming at the mouth like Elon stans anytime someone doesn't shower Altman or AI with praise, I doubt it.
> None of the tech companies are selling your data to advertisers.

First-hand account from me that this is not factual at all.

I worked at a major media buyer agency “big 5” in advanced analytics; we were a team of 5-10 data scientists. We got a firehose on behalf of our client, a major movie studio, of search of their titles by zip code from “G”.

On top of that we had clean roomed audience data from “F” of viewers of the ads/trailers who also viewed ads on their set top boxes.

I can go on and on, and yeah, we didn’t see “Joe Smith” level of granularity, it was at Zip code levels, but to say FAANG doesn’t sell user data is naive at best.
Well, that's very interesting indeed. Maybe there's hope for Swift in the future.
Almost certainly you will be able to disable it entirely and hide the UI to re-enable it via provisioning profiles via Apple Configurator 2 or MDM.

This is actually what you have to do now if you don’t want Siri and Mail to leak your address book to Apple.
It's about control. If they would allow virtualization then some people would use that to run software Apple can't control, especially not monetize.
My experience suggests that LLMs become not less accurate, but less helpful.

Two years ago they output a solution for my query [1] right away, now they try to engage user to implement that thing. This is across the board, as far as I can see.

These LLMs are not about helping anyone, their goals are engagement and mining data for that engagement.

[1] The query is "implement blocked clause decomposition in haskell." There are papers (circa 2010-2012), there are implementations, but not in Haskell. BCD, itself, is easy, and can be expressed in a dozen-two lines of Haskell code.

This is exactly what non-artists assume artists do art for.

The reality is that most professional visual artists work in publishing, marketing, entertainment and the like. It’s a regular job. The incentive is money. Similarly for theatre, music, video, dance, etc etc. Artists can’t feed their families off exposure and expressing themselves. Their work has value and taking that work to create free derivative works without compensating them is theft.
