There is something about having paid parental leave, worker protections, 25+ paid vacations days day per year, and government agencies that don't allow corporations to poison you (and your water) with their products that makes people happier and healthier.

It might also have something with the fact that not fearing your children dying in a school shooting (sponsored by the innovative US gun companies) makes for happier people. I don't know.

Were mistakes made by putting a clueless idiot infront of the community? Sure. Sounds like a lot of mistakes were made. But this whole post is jumping on the recent problems to try to claim "See, it was them the whole time, not me!"

Depending on the manufacturer, you won't want to take it to the dealer without factory resetting first. Infotainment connects via WiFi initiated by technicians and will upload all stored data if it's there. And that's of course if you aren't using integrated apps like Android Auto or other third party apps, which also takes the data. I was a software engineer on these systems at one time and it's one of the bullet points of why I left. It's an uphill battle.

>I am scared of the police. In the rare times I have to interact with them I am overwhelmingly polite and cautious because I know that they have the ability to fuck up my day, and maybe my life.

What are you doing to justify feeling like this? Is it just out of abundance of caution? When I interact with police it's usually for boring reasons - like I broke some petty law and they justifiably question me about it (and more often than not just let it slide, but they don't have to -after all they're just doing their job).

>just because you suspect that some journalism from a publication is propaganda doesn't invalidate the usefulness of all journalism

Usefulness for whom? If by useful you mean to manufacture consent to do whatever businesses and governments would have done if it weren't for the pesky public getting in their way, then yes, sure. We wouldn't have had the second Iraq war, or the first for that matter, if it weren't for the hard work of the journalists at the New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
BS. If that was the case (Disney doesn't own or operate the restaurant), then that would've been Disney's first motion to the court. But it wasn't. Their initial argument was that the Disney+ EULA binds the dude to arbitration.
Professional devs at the time certainly did. Some thoroughly eye-watering percentage of business applications were written in VB. I'm still not sure that any modern tech has replaced the sheer "it doesn't need to be beautiful it just needs to be functional and inexpensive to build and maintain" power that we had with tools like Visual Basic.

Nowadays I'm accustomed to multi-person teams needing months to build what a single skilled VB6 developer could bodge together in a couple weeks, but I still sometimes marvel at how we got from there to here without enterprise and B2B development shops calling foul along the way. Perhaps it's because they know they can cover any increase in development cost with the larger amount of money they can squeeze out of customers using modern SaaS subscription pricing schemes.
How about create a system for constant brain dump and make it accessible.

> There needs to be publicly funded journalism - who else is going to report on stories that would threaten the status quo of rich & powerful?

The way to enable stories that threaten the status quo of the rich and powerful is to enforce freedom of speech for everyone, so anyone who is being screwed by the rich and powerful can say so, publicly, and not get canceled.

"Publicly funded journalism" does nothing of the kind, because the funding of "publicly funded journalism" comes from...the rich and powerful. Either through the government (who do you think runs the government? certainly not the poor and powerless) or through "nonprofit" organizations that can't survive, let alone pay the costs of journalism, without donations from the rich and powerful.
I was trying out Arc and almost forgot about it, but now knowing about this feature changes everything, thanks for pointing it out!

I mean it's just momentum = mass*velocity. Something with more mass inherently has more momentum, and will therefore be harder to stop in an emergency/hit harder when it crashes. That's obviously more dangerous no matter how you look at it. A penny going at 60 MPH at your head probably won't kill you but a truck will. A penny going 1000 MPH will probably kill you, but I wouldn't call a penny as dangerous as a truck even though they're both potentially lethal.

I still don't understand how multi-step LLM based AI agents work.

If the probability of an LLM making a mistake = 5% and you have 10 steps then the accuracy of the overall workflow is 60%. Which is useless. Even if we have major advancements in the performance of LLMs and it drops to 1% then still the overall workflow is 90% which is poor.

So what is the plan here ? There is a limit to how many tasks in businesses can tolerate so much inaccuracy.
I finally after long time got some as they were like -50% and I was still mildly disappointed at that price. Here in European country, they are too expensive for what they offer.

Old school news anchors were NOT neutral. The stories they chose and the language they used shaped perceptions just as much as now, only they had precious little competition back then. They so completely shaped the population's perception of that era that retroactive analyses using better evidence to reach new conclusions about the events of that time are reflexively rejected by most people, demonstrating incuriosity and close-mindedness out of loyalty to established narratives. That is ideology.
The original definitions (before Phrack) were substantially different. From the Hacker's dictionary, for instance, we see:

> HACK n. 1. Originally a quick job that produces what is needed, but not well.
2. The result of that job. 3. NEAT HACK: A clever technique. Also, a brilliant practical joke, where neatness is correlated with cleverness, harmlessness, and surprise value. Example: the Caltech Rose Bowl card display switch circa 1961. 4. REAL HACK: A crock (occasionally affectionate). v. 5. With "together", to throw something together so it will work. 6. To bear emotionally or physically. "I can't hack this heat!" 7. To work on something (typically a program). In specific sense: "What are you doing?" "I'm hacking TECO." In general sense: "What do you do around here?" "I hack TECO." (The former is time-immediate, the latter time-extended.) More generally, "I hack x" is roughly equivalent to "x is my bag". "I hack solid-state physics." 8. To pull a prank on. See definition 3 and HACKER (def #6). 9. v.i. To waste time (as opposed to TOOL). "Watcha up to?" "Oh, just hacking." 10. HACK UP (ON): To hack, but generally implies that the result is meanings 1-2. 11. HACK VALUE: Term used as the reason or motivation for expending effort toward a seemingly useless goal, the point being that the accomplished goal is a hack. For example, MacLISP has code to read and print roman numerals, which was installed purely for hack value. HAPPY HACKING: A farewell. HOW'S HACKING?: A friendly greeting among hackers. HACK HACK: A somewhat pointless but friendly comment, often used as a temporary farewell. [The word HACK doesn't really have 69 different meanings. In fact, HACK has only one meaning, an extremely subtle and profound one which defies articulation. Which connotation a given HACK-token has depends in similarly profound ways on the context. Similar comments apply to a couple other hacker jargon items, most notably RANDOM. - Agre]
> Broad subscription to newspapers was a brief and exceptional phenomenon.

But people weren't even paying for the news back then!

That $.25 for the daily newspaper didn't even cover printing and distribution of the paper it was printed on. The price was just a filter to separate consumers who actually wanted the product vs those who would use it as fuel to insulate or heat their homes.

Advertisers paid for the news. They always have.

The difference between now and "the old days" — what put news into a crisis — is that they used to sell their own ads. When the Internet came along, they abdicated that control to ad networks, which eventually consolidated to Google and Meta, and are now confused by the fact that they're only getting ten cents on the dollar.
Can you publish your workflow? I'm on the hunt for resources from people who make the claim. Publishing their workflow in a repeatable way would go a long way.

Nobody is suggesting this but you. It’s understandable that leadership would make more money. But 39x more money is harder to justify, especially with historical context.

>I read the New York Times for national news, but regional news (which is the majority of newspapers) consistently don't appeal to me. Why would I pay to read about a carjacking in a far off neighborhood?

I think this sentence says a lot about why regional news paper are going under. In the case that someone was interested in a local carjacking why read about it in the paper when you could probably find out directly from the source on some local social network group (Facebook/Nextdoor/etc)? In the event that this is a trend why bother waiting for the newspaper to report on it when the internet makes it easy to read direct statements or directly question your local government about it? The local busy bodies using social media do a better job than the local news paper for about 99% of the non-events that are usually reported on.
Sorry, that was an incorrect thing I was taught and I never checked it... The ratio of a perfect fifth in 12TET is always 1.498307, not exactly 1.5, but it's close enough to 3/2. The deviation from "simple ratios" is more or less depending on the interval (P5(3/2): -0.001692923, M3(5/4): 0.00992105, m3(6/5): -0.010792885).
In turn and with respect, I argue your perspective is myopic and completely misses the huge desire/opportunity in today's market for reliable products. (This is why Apple got so far ahead of their competition).
> If you squint a little, these are essentially the same.

So are all the "shades of gray" in between. Every source of journalism we have is funded by someone who wants to further their own agenda. We have no source of journalism whose purpose is to just report the truth and let the public draw their own conclusions. Let alone one that can actually stick to that purpose in the face of the temptation to push a favored narrative.

fact checking is always so ideologically fraught (which is why it rules out everyone) that I have given up and instead just try to hear every narrative. They aren't of equal weight, of course, but it's good for unpassionate understanding of the different warring perspectives.

They clearly felt that Jersey Mike's was taking a big chunk of their market share because for about two weeks they were promoting they were now slicing your meat fresh. Two stores I used to frequent had shiny new deli slicers that were on the back counter, unplugged.

I think they got really huge during the late 90's early aughts when fitness and eating well was a big thing. I think with better alternatives, the rising cost of food because of inflation, people just don't see the value of their offerings any more.
Or a repository with some source code under a free license, and then some .so and executables in a subdirectory. I'm looking at you Sciter.
Nice strawman on the TOC, but there are _plenty_ of people whose jobs rely on intellectual property protections. I know people who have developed recipes and sold the publishing rights to them. Artists copyright their work to prevent it from being copied outright. Even FLOSS is based in intellectual property protections: if someone charges you for access to the Linux kernel source code, they've effectively done the inverse of what Kim Dotcom did, but it's still against the license to do so.

Again, you can make the argument that these protections are too broad or too durable, but it's not in anyone's best interest for intellectual works to be unprotectable under law.
To me, "devil's advocacy" has a negative connotation, for reasons mentioned in the "Challenges" section.

The "advocates" themselves can be just as prone to groupthink as anybody else. All of the mistakes made by a group can be made by a single person -- especially if that person is a member of a group outside the organization. All of the failure modes of reasoning apply, especially if the person is motivated by their "advocacy" position to zealously defend their idea. When that happens, you get stuck trying to please the advocate rather than actually solving the problem.

This can be handled within an organization, where the members themselves have faith in each other to be working for the common good. But I often hear from self-appointed "devil's advocates", who sometimes seem quite aware that they are wasting your time, and insisting that you are guilty of groupthink when you dismiss them.

To me, the accusation of "groupthink" has become a euphemism for "No matter what happens I'm right and everybody else is wrong. Everybody else is being irrational, which I never am. I play the devil's advocate, but I never need to listen to a devil's advocate myself."

That's not to say that "groupthink" doesn't actually happen. Quite the opposite: I tend to view the accusation of groupthink as a confession. And when it genuinely happens it's hard to see around. Adding a devil's advocate often fails to solve the problem, and can even make it worse.

In other words, there is no easy answer to making the right decisions. No procedure can solve the fundamental human problems.
The Rasmussen poll on elites[0] has a nice working definition of "those having a postgraduate degree, a household income of more than $150,000 annually, and living in a zip code with more than 10,000 people per square mile" as well as a fascinating material difference in the beliefs of that 1% of the population as compared to the rest.

If I may editorialize, perhaps we can also posit that if someone does not meet these criteria but nevertheless shares the same opinions as the elite, then they are desiring to join the elite.

I really like the Financial Times. It was a breath of fresh air compared to other newspapers. If nothing else, I liked the tone: matter of fact, no drama. But it's (i) not cheap; and (ii) canceling was a bit harder than subscribing. (I found I wasn't reading it enough to justify the cost. Subscribing was easy but canceling required a phone call -- bit of unnecessary but understandable friction.)
If they offered cheap subs I would eat there regularly for life. Right now I have to hunt for deals with their flaky app that would require me to log in too frequently. Why not keep me logged in? Who cares about the security of my subway account? If I try to use their app and can't successfully log in after three tries, then I'm going to McDonald's. At least with their app I don't have to wrestle with logging in. I'm always logged in. Don't underestimate the friction that comes with using an app.

Ex falso quodlibet does not say “anything except truth” follows. Truth is like a closed set while falsehood is like an open superset from which you can actually end up back in the closed Truth set. - There is a path asymmetry between truth and falsehood. The most common application of this principle is the process of elimination.

Wikipedia redirects to the Principle of Explosion from EFQ, but two falsehoods can actually lead to the same conclusion. From how PoE is used it is apparent that EFQ and PoE are not the same thing.

Convergence of falsehood is structure, so it is locally informative even though it isn’t global truth. It is something AI would discover and act upon, leading to consequences that formal logic in its current state does not foresee.
