There’s an ability to understand. Most coders really have no clue how their code works. It’s not a brag, nor incompetence. Does your average dev really understand the underlying instruction set? LLM are like having a team of junior devs. I can quickly skim it, test it, ship it. I’ve worked in all sorts of safety related code. I would trust ai code over some of the crap I’ve seen (and probably wrote myself)
> It’s about prioritizing or recommending, not just “there’s a difference”.

The text is "recommended, selected, or prioritized", and the selective presence or absence of comments is, well, "selected".

> (g) the media recommended, selected, or prioritized for display is exclusively next in a pre-existing sequence from the same author, creator, poster, or source;

This one I'm reasonably confident doesn't apply because it's worded so narrowly. First, there's "exclusively" which means any other factor being present causes this to fail to apply. Then there's "from the same author, creator, poster, or source"--the fact that threads are usually involving multiple authors means that the sequence doesn't come from the "same" author.

> (f) the media are recommended, selected, or prioritized only in response to a specific search inquiry by the user

What gives me pause here is I don't know what "specific search inquiry by the user" means. It feels to me like the drafter wants this to be interpreted in response to particular search terms (like posts containing "fuck" or something) and a bound like "threads involving me" isn't really a search term in that same sense.

Stepping back a bit, the fundamental problem here is that this is a law that's being motivated by hatred of something that the author can't adequately describe. They came up with an overbroad definition that could encompass any activity they think might fall under that behavior, and when someone pointed out the absurdity of the definition, rather than trying to narrow down the definition, merely start patching it with exceptions for examples people thought of. (Well, it's possible it's drafted to try to make the law constitutional where every other attempt has been ruled unconstitutional, but quite frankly, none of this definition makes it more likely to be constitutional, so I doubt that anyone who is savvy enough to realize the constitutional pitfalls of writing this kind of law is dumb enough to think that this way will pass muster.)

Having tested FSD, I prefer the system in my 2020 Hyundai. It doesn’t cover as much road, but it’s extremely predictable and pretty simple to use.

I found that FSD would randomly require intervention at the most inopportune times. I’d simple prefer to be hand driving into those situations than have to jump into reaction mode.
In my area the smell of chlorine and chloramine is thick on some days (usually after storms and floods). I'm a reefkeeper, I see it in my water tests too, on those days I don't use my RO DI filter because I don't want the extra stuff going in. You can smell it under a hot tap as a sickly sweet smell.
> Also, “less taxes are good for the economy,” is unarguably true

This isn’t unarguably true. Right now we’re running a very large public debt because we spend more than we collect, so if you collected it in taxes you’d slow down inflation. That would be good for the economy. You also see a lot of strategic reallocation of funds through taxes, moving things from possibly inefficient places to places that generate far more growth. China has been doing this very well over the last decade (and sometimes not so well, but net positive) - lots of state back efforts which have tipped industries in China’s favor. This has been great for their economy and soft power. The US did that with Covid vaccines by assuming the risk— something the private market literally could not and would not do.

Taxes and government spending are complex subjects and do not follow universal rules.
If it turned out to work great in practice and people started using it en masse, the benefits would greatly outweigh the costs IMO, particularly if it snuffed out Covid and/or the flu. If it ends up being a niche thing, I doubt it would bite into the resistance numbers.

Besides, we're already spiraling down the resistance chasm with antibacterial soaps, stuffing cattle with antibiotics, overprescribing, and so on.
Yes, same problem as with commercial AI music products not providing stems or MIDI, The engineers on these products are too full of themselves to actually ask anyone in the field what they want, so we just keep getting these stupid magic 8 ball efforts.

This one is particularly annoying as I worked for years as a sound engineer and have recorded or produced the soundtrack for 10 feature films and some large number of shorts. What's going to happen with this is directors or producers are gonna do this at home for every scene in a burst of over-enthusiasm, realize the totality is Not Great, and then demand someone like me fix it, but for 1/4 of what the job used to pay, arguing 'but most of the work is already done'. It's all so tiresome.
They seem to teach it pretty fast to any idiot in the French Foreign Legion from what little I know. I have a feeling people learn fast with the 'right' incentives.
The "Big Tech used my stuff and now I'm sad" story has happened so many times that it is ridiculous. You should be aware of this possibility before releasing your stuff under a permissive license. And the proposed alternative is often copyleft, which doesn't make you any money and dissuades people from using your project. You need to understand these implications before jumping in.

> your position is ridiculous by only believing that humans are incapable of cooperation without having something to gain from it

I do believe that. They're always a motivation to gain something, even if it's the pride that you've helped financially support a project you believe in.

My worldview is irrelevant though, the issue here is corporate structure, not human nature. It's difficult to convince a company to pay for something that is free, especially when the button says "Donate" and not "Buy". And even if you do, for a high-value FOSS component, the amount paid will never reflect the actual value they gained from it - think YouTube and ffmpeg, Apple and FreeBSD, or any SaaS and Linux.

Yup, other breeds won’t pay attention, and get a signpost between themselves and their handler, and now the leash is stuck. And then they can’t figure out how to undo it. Pit bulls don’t do that. Why? I have no idea. I mean, I suppose you can breed for anything, but seems like a slightly odd feature to breed for.
Absolutely, thanks for sharing that and your opinion - adjusting my views accordingly (we don't have to disagree - I was wrong).

Have you found 3D Gen AI useful for your work yet (with all the quality issues that it has so far)?
you should then make a point to buy SaaS that puts pricing on their page. Cater to good practices.
Same. I can’t believe this is still a thing.
> the bedrock of liberalism is religious freedom

Individualism, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, private property and equality before the law are the bedrocks of liberalism [1]. Religious freedom is closer to a corollary, though hard secular liberal republics (e.g. much of recent French history) have also existed.

This would turn every financially struggling or greedy school into a degree mill.
I'm not the person you asked, but I'm in the process of learning French. I'm a native English speaker who had a much easier time with listening comprehension for Spanish and German, my other languages.

What I find helps me to make progress is two things:

1) prioritize vocabulary (you need to know a word to have any hope of recognizing it in speech)

2) listen to "comprehensible input" at your level. I like this guy: https://www.youtube.com/@FrenchComprehensibleInput who has levels labeled for his vids, I also like https://www.youtube.com/@wanderingfrench because I'm interested in Canadian French and I find her especially clear and easy to understand, as well as charismatic.
Condoms aren't perfect, and PrEP is cheap and has basically zero side effects. Plus, rapists don't use condoms, no matter how nicely you ask.

Edit: lmao touched a nerve? I will never understand why folks here get so prudish when we talk about sex... "Just wear a condom!" is remarkably insensitive, as though 100% of HIV transmission is your own fault, and not, say, someone else who has bad intentions.
what you generally want is rather than lossy compression on top of dithering, to instead use lossy compression of higher bit depth data, and then the decoder can add the dithering to represent the extra bits.

The economy will continue to improve the more this leeching can be minimised and ultimately eliminated. Interest rates have effectively forced Silicon Valley VC to stop funding more leeches, but society is still left with some truly gigantic ones to deal with; they have embedded themselves into the system. Their removal will take time, and patience. Lots of work to do.
If enough different people sued Meta their legal department would be snowed under, and they'd have to increase the number of lawyers they employ. For every lawyer you employ to do what is in essence customer service, you could be employing several customer service employees.

It would, however, be funny if Meta was sued into oblivion by millions of Facebook users. Poetic justice.
If only.

All we get nowadays with these rapist mentality corporations is "Yes", and if we're lucky an "Ask me again later".
Of course that is a good question, although I would expect that with the most useful or most reasonable or best definition (which is itself not entirely clear, though), that the answer will probably be, yes, animals are conscious (although not always all the time; unconsciousness and partial consciousness can occur too).

Scientific experiments can detect specific things and specific details (if tested in an appropriate way), but this would be something specific rather than just being called "consciousness", is what I should think.
I forgot to mention that periodic reviews [0] help me set the pace: looking back, and forward.

Why downvote, that's exactly what I said. I'm glad you agree that even experts make mistakes. It would be truly strange to argue that point, though many have and do. With respect to Gell-Mann amnesia, to be more exlicit since it seems that's needed, it's really just a side effect of our heuristics. Most of the time you can turn your brain off and follow the crowd, widespread consensus is a safe bet, but you have to leave room for occasionsl mistakes, as you acknowledge. Taking mental shortcuts, being lazy conformists is in no way exceptional. Humans are mostly stupid creatures, even experts.
As implied here in other comments, the architecture they designed their LSP around immediately suggested where the issue might be.

Sure, in a project like this, observability becomes harder, but that's pretty much the biggest challenge. The fact that this was in any way passable for so long indicates how much engineers are willing to take suboptimal experiences, and how fast computers are today.

Similarly, 75kloc is not a huge project, and even 750k with deps is simply "big". Eg. Linux kernel is >25M, LibreOffice is >10M, Wordpress itself is around 1M, Gimp is 900K, etc. All that is without external dependencies.

Even final code completion that returns in "under 1s" is too slow (I can't imagine ever turning on a feature that would take the original 8s!).
i would instead say that as long as nuclear energy is horrendously expensive, it won't scale. but nuclear energy is not inherently horrendously expensive; it's just that human technology is very primitive still
That's because we subsidize the world by investing in a massive portion of the science and tech for producing medicines. Then when those costs are recouped via sales to our consumers the whole world laughs at us while ironically many of them would be up shits creek without the advancements they get to piggy back off of.

Healthcare and medicine needs overhauling but it's maddening watching these downstream foreign benefactors damn the golden goose they'd be fucked without.
A bit simpler: cisgender means same/matching gender, basically the opposite of trans-gender. If the gender you identify as is the one matching your birth sex default, you're cisgender.

But it's completely separate from your attraction to other people, so straight, gay, anything is fine in either category.

Break down the weekly plan into a bullet point per day. Have other bullet points on what you want to do that day.

You can move around bullet points as needed, but try to stick to them and undercommit for the day.

Is the arbitrage opportunity worth it? It doesn't seem like it is considering the limiting factor being the court system, and you can't really arbitrage off cheaply off miniscule enough violations to profit more than a few one off cases. Damages must also be present, so maybe a service to service offering where one party disparages you online and then you take Meta to court for not suspending that party would work, but thats fraud, and if found out you risk quite a bit for sums that seem to not really exceed more than $15,000 across the US (from the article).
> it's in the middle of a dense EU city where such large demolition than construction size would destroy the traffic of a significant part of the city for an year or more

This is completely wrong. They renovate buildings here in Tokyo all the time (normally every 20 years), and it doesn't affect traffic at all. They just cover the entire building in a mesh netting and go to work.

Apparently there is good infrastructure in place, like air conditioned tents for pilgrims to cool down. Problem is that it is expensive to register as a pilgrim, so many people try to attend without registering (and have no access to tents etc). Most of those who died were not registered.

This is what Singapore does. Although the government provides substantial aid to new citizen families, the unspoken preference is for the immigration authority to shape national demographics by filtering the educational, racial and cultural intake. and by far the most prioritized group for immigration are malaysians of chinese descent with tertiary education. despite the sheer number of applicants from this group, the wait for citizenship is extremely short, some say as low as 3 months after application.

the straits chinese have the lowest fertility rate among all the major racial groups in singapore, and yet mysteriously the proportion has not changed in the last 10 years.
I think there are multiple reasons why JS world is different.

- JS libs often target browser as well and that's a fast moving target

- JS is primary language of serverless which is also moving fast

- it attracts younger devs chasing hot trends

- the fragmentation is already there, people got used to it and some even embrace it

I lead development on a 12 year old SPA. It's a Ship of Theseus where there is almost zero original code but we never had to rewrite from scratch, instead we were swapping piece by piece as we went. The time investment was reasonably small and we never endangered the business with the full rewrite.

I'm surprised that it never occurred to me that Saudi Arabia is going to be one of the first places on earth that will be uninhabitable. It is impossible to exaggerate the magnitude of the tragedy--the damage to world culture--it will be when Islam's holiest sites are too hot for human life. An absolutely irreplaceable loss. For everybody, not just muslims.

And man, we are not far off. If you have a temperature of 103 degrees, it is recommended you go to the doctor. If you have a temperature of 108 degrees, you risk permanent brain damage.

The human body cools itself by sweating--the evaporating water carries off the excess heat. But this process stops working at 95 degrees if the humidity is 50% or higher. 120 degrees and above it just stops working. You either find air conditioning or you literally (not metaphorically or hyperbolically--literally) cook to death.

Currently, the earth is warming at a rate of 1/3 degree per decade. Already it is dangerous to do the Hajj. The time when it will be impossible is IMMINENT. We simply can't let this happen.

There's no good direct comparison that checks all the boxes of fairness while being something that makes much sense to order for the given products. If you go against a MacBook Pro to make the cooling type even then you've pretty much excluded comparing to any typical Framework build combo unless you're willing to compare to an absolutely anemic version of the Pro at a still likely higher cost. There will be some things each wins/loses on but, in the end, it doesn't make sense to get that version of the Pro anyways as the Pro really only starts to make balanced sense at the $2000 and up mark, right after where the Framework upgrades stop making sense.

One comparison that would involve the Pro is "best hardware I can buy regardless of the cost" but not many people ask that question and the answer is either going to be an obvious "a high end Pro" or "Framework because I need Linux and the M3 hardware isn't the best for that".
No.

That'd be a good explanation, but it's theoretical.

In practice:

A) there was no meaningful internal LLM API pre-ChatGPT. All this AI stuff was under lock and key until Nov 2022, then it was an emergency.

B) the bits we're discussing are OpenAI-specific concepts that could only have occurred after OpenAI's.

The API includes chat messages organized with roles, an OpenAI concept, and "tools", an OpenAI concept, both of which came well after the GPT API.

The combination of ferric chloride and latex is what's called coagulation flocculation treatment. The coagulant, in this case the ferric chloride, neutralizes the charges on suspended particles in a liquid, causing them to clump together into larger aggregates (flocs) that can then be more easily separated from the liquid through sedimentation or filtration.

The latex in this case is the flocculant, assist in binding together the microflocs formed by coagulation into larger, more stable aggregates known as flocs. Flocculants often work by bridging the particles through long chains of polymers, effectively linking the microflocs into larger clusters.

After the coagulation and flocculation process, the water usually enters a large settling basin where the flocs gradually settle to the bottom, resulting in clarified water.
