If you owe $62k or more you should be solving that issue, not flying over seas anyway. I don’t really want to be subsidizing you anymore than I have to. And whether you think taxes are too high or not fair, they are what they are and most of us are paying them.

Auto captioning will surely help, you can also provide styles for captions.

I remember revid.ai does similar stuff you can take inspiration from.
Yes, specifically cog railways.
I am building what I like to call PAI. Personal AI that ingests all your online information into a knowledge graph and is connected to your tools, all running locally. Will eventually build an off the shelf consumer device capable of running all this locally.

You can talk to it over a e2e encrypted reverse proxy (using Signals double ratchet protocol) so you can access it on the go safely and privately.
My insurance just flat out says therapists are excluded from coverage.
This is not about privacy or sovereign clouds because at least AWS and Azure have those already in Europe.

It’s about protectionism and tweaking the law to favor local companies.
Telegram within Russia and outside Russia are two completely different apps with completely different featureset and visible channels.

The only "anti-war" sentiment on Russian Telegram is ultra-nationalistic whining about the warfare not being efficient and brutal enough.

But outside Russia there are even pro-Ukrainian Russian-language Telegram channels.
Such global man in the middle could be abused by bad parties.

That's why the authorities ask for the squaring of the circle.

Don't break encryption but make it readable.

That's "Let's make PI = 3" level of ignorance

Me too. There's at least one manufacturer who makes pretty sweet mini-ITX motherboard with R9 7945HX, I hope they will follow up with Strix Halo once it's released.

Why is it quite clear to you? You can't just refute people's valid concerns over loss of functionality and deprecating something while advocating a replacement without feature parity by saying 'it's quite clear to me' - you sound ridiculous.

To your last point about how it will change at a rapid pace, when has MS done this for something for advanced users? I don't believe rapid development of Settings is going to kick into gear because of this because that seems not at all like the Microsoft we deal with today, they move very slow on power user features while going full speed on integrating "AI" and various junk in my menu bar - why would you believe Settings will be a priority?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if this person's efforts at helping people use Facebook less is materially affected by loss of access to Facebook, they weren't really helping people use it less.
AI generated slop is the future :(
I highly suggest you unfollow everyone on LinkedIn as well; the result is the same: nothing in your feed and no ads, but everything is still available to you—like searching for jobs and looking at profiles/messaging folks.

I don’t have a tool that does this for you, but it’s definitely the way to go. Literally when I go into LinkedIn it’s just a completely blank page; it’s fucking glorious.

I deleted Twitter during the 2008 election cycle and I “disabled” my FB acct (allowing me access to Messenger and Marketplace; the former only used for the latter) and it’s been amazing.

This is how you deal with these companies: by using their services without the noise and advertising that keeps them afloat.
There is one thing I'd like to know about this general approach of centralising permission data. I guess my question applies to Permify as well as to its various competitors:

When objects and relations change in the applications database, then these changes will often have to be reflected in the permissions database as well, and the application must keep things in sync. But this is probably harder as it first seems, in the presence of errors and transaction rollbacks.

What about this case:

- User creates a FOO in the application.

- The app creates an entry in the "foo" table and assigns the user id as owner, and attempts to store various other data.

- The app also creates an entity in the permissions database and assigns the user id as an owner.

- Then further steps are performed, and one of them fails, rolling back the transaction in the application database.

I would assume that the change to the permissions database cannot be rolled back then, so there is now an inconsistency.

What do people typically do about these things?
What would be different if you didn't trust them to do it correctly?
> Specifically, these service providers

I’m not a fan of this arrest and I don’t believe service providers have a duty to contravene their security promises so as to monitor their users.

But it seems pretty obvious that governments find the monitoring that Google / Reddit / etc do acceptable, and do not find operation of unmonitorable services acceptable.
Likely familiar even if you haven't heard "strand" as such with that meaning: "stranded" (run aground on the beach).

One place where you might possibly have heard "strand" meaning the beach: Lewis Carroll. "The Walrus and the Carpenter were walking on the strand: / They wept like anything to see / Such quantities of sand. / 'If this were only cleared away,' / They said, 'it would be grand.'"
Signal for mobile and Signal for desktop are different apps with different code bases. Neither is as good as Telegram's, in my opinion.

Signal is fine for messaging. Not bad, not amazing. I'd have a much easier time convincing people to switch to Signal if it would've had a client as good as Telegram's, especially for the desktop application.

That said, Telegram has been adding more and more annoying premium features that distract and annoy.
If that were true, SpaceX would only slightly undercut Boeing. It , however, is massively cheaper.

If course, they may be playing a longer game, hoping they can kill all the competition by such low low prices
A PhD in psychology takes 6 years to complete plus another year for licensing. A PsyD is a little bit less, but typically you pay high tuition during that time, whereas most PhD programs are free (with a small stipend). So, you make little to no money (or pay money) for a long period of time and then you are presented with a choice to take or not take insurance. If you choose the former, you:

- Get paid half as much

- Have to deal with filing claims, which ultimately becomes an additional expense, since chances are you have to pay someone to do this for you.

- Get your money later instead of now.

- Have to keep meticulous notes in case you ever get audited by the insurance companies, who can refuse to issue payments if your notes don't meet their standards.

- Have to lose patients when their coverage runs out

Meanwhile, there's overwhelming demand for therapists in many cities and plenty of people who will pay cash. I truly believe that many therapists are not in it for the money... but if they are going to make less money, let's at least figure out a way to handle the bureaucracy so that their jobs are more enjoyable.
the crux of the problem here is that the french police asked for their purchase history, and you said "sorry, i already gave them to the Russian fsb" ;)
Eliminating child pornography and organised crime is a societal rather than 'government' interest. And rightly.

The other poster made a statement about the strength of the immune system. I don't think there's much evidence that exposure to virus A ends up contributing to a robust response to virus Z. There's some benefit if the infections are somewhat related, but not if they are dissimilar. So sure, exposure to a particular infection is likely to make your immune system more responsive to that infection, but it's probably not reasonable to say that it has gotten stronger.

And then, measles in particular can actually damage existing immunity to other infections, making exposure to it quite a lot more dangerous than just the immediate infection. https://asm.org/articles/2019/may/measles-and-immune-amnesia
What evidence is there that it’s possible to “exercise” an immune system?
the government needs to enforce its laws. telegram is accused of getting in the way of enforcing laws. that seems like a reasonable accusation.
Such laws exist in most countries. I'm not aware of any that provide such a right to business entities though.
I've done this for a project where the SDF functions are basically instructions, and you can build up instrictions on the CPU to send to the shader. and then the fragment shader runs them like a mini bytecode interpreter. You can tile up the screen to avoid having too many instructions per fragment. Kinda wild idea and performance may vary depend on what you're doing
Finding an insurer that pays therapists a rate in line with their level of education and specialization can be nearly impossible, and time spent filling out the billing paperwork (often only to be rejected for payment or even "clawed back" after the fact) isn't billable.

Many folks I know that have private clinical practices address the tension between this and ensuring that there's access for people that can't afford the full rate out of pocket by charging a really high rate for most patients and then doing sliding scale/pro bono work.
The comments I made were quite serious and civil. Not sure what you mean. They were autodeleted by a bot. I wasn't trolling or anything.

I'm not particularly interested in spending a lot of time posting on reddit. But very occasionally I'll come across a thread I can contribute meaningfully to and want to comment. Even if allowed I'd probably just make a couple comments a year or something. But I guess the site isn't set up for that, so fuck it.
The original comment had two prerequisites:

1. If drug dealers used my backyard.
2. If I knew about it and did absolutely nothing about it.

And yes, if the government knows about someone selling drugs and does nothing about it, you can sue the government.

At least in theory, in countries not ridden with corruption (which probably aren't that many).

That sounds amazing! I’d like to give it a try
https://t.me/s/UkraineNow

This is a Ukraine channel. You can preview it in a web browser. If Telegram can enable that functionality, then it means they have the complete capability to serve the content of the channel. Same story if they can scroll back an existing channel to new users.
This distinction gets lost in these discussions all of the time. A company that makes an effort to comply with laws is in a completely different category than a company that makes the fact that they’ll look the other way one of their core selling points.

Years ago there was a case where someone built a business out of making hidden compartments in cars. He did an amazing job of making James Bond style hidden compartments that perfectly blended into the interior. He was later arrested because drug dealers used his hidden compartment business to help their drug trade.

There was an uproar about the fact that he wasn’t doing the drug crimes himself. He was only making hidden compartments which could be used for anything. How was he supposed to know that the hidden compartments were being used for illegal activities rather than keeping people’s valuables safe during a break-in?

Yet when the details of the case came out, IIRC, it was clear that he was leaning into the illegal trades and marketing his services to those people. He lost his plausible deniability after even a cursory look at how he was operating.

I don’t know what, if any, parts of that case apply to Pavel Durov. I do like to share it as an example of how intent matters and how one can become complicit in other crimes by operating in a manner where one of your selling points is that you’ll help anyone out even when their intent is to break the law. It’s also why smart corporate criminals will shut down and walk away when it becomes too obvious that they’re losing plausible deniability in a criminal enterprise.
What I would do for a robotic pack mule I could take camping or to the grocery store
> It stores it encrypted with encryption keys split across the globe.

The physical storage location is completely irrelevant. What matters is access, and they have that.

Telegram has full operational control over these keys, as demonstrated by the fact that anyone that can perform SMS verification is able to access past messages on an account, and SMS-OTP can in principle not involve any cryptographic operation, as there is absolutely no user input.
Except this is not pointing in the right direction. It's demonstrably wrong. He then criticizes the author of the table, calling that person wrong.

If I were hiring a consultant claiming math analysis skills and they posted such a fundamental mistake, I'd honestly move on to someone else.

I've read Cook's post a long time, and he doesn't often make such logic errors. I suspect he'll retract his claims once he realizes his errors.
First one to add the cliche: "If you are, you're in the wrong room."
I would just add that Mathematica-style term rewriting (e.g. analytical integration, or equation solving) is done with _semantics-preserving_ symbolic solvers, which are hand-made and human-reviewed to guarantee correctness.

LLM style pattern matching and rewriting does not preserve semantics, except accidentally due to an overwhelming amount of examples.
> For example, I don't think that kids who struggle with common core math and then switch to the "normal way" (the way their parents learned) will have a leap in ability the way that kids who switch from three-cueing to phonics do.

I'm not quite sure that's true. In my city, there is a local charter school that teaches math with only Common Core methods. The local public school teaches primarily Common Core, but also supplements it with Houghton-Mifflin workbooks of the sort that we learned 30 years ago. By 4th grade, the public school's math proficiency rates are 20 points higher than the charter school's. They draw from similar socioeconomic demographics - if anything, the charter school parents tend to be a bit more affluent and involved in their kids' educations than the public school's.
Facebook has been making itself unusable, I just want to check up on what my friends and family are up too but I just get a flood on unsolicited spam from pages I’m not interested in or want to see. Facebooks algorithm for their wall is one of the worst. Even if I X the spam posts it find other crap to spam with so I just gave up and visit FB every other week instead of daily for a quick update.

Instagram is suffering the same fate, it doesn’t show my posts to my followers, really wants to show me post that have nothing to do with my interest and I’m getting a lot of likes from bots. I noticed my friends don’t post to it as much anymore so it’s feeling like a ghost town.

I have an experiment going on, I have an art account on insta and X, every night I post the same image to both and X gives a lot more views and engagement than Instagram for the same content. Also it seems like the X algorithm is smarter than FB/instagram because it shows me similar art to what I post and keeps the correct vibe. Insta/FB show me random crap I couldn’t care less about.
And, as I say, I get a private car and they do not want to cut things close (understandably). So my not uncommon 6am or 7am flights to either get to Europe without a redeye or to get to the West Coast with the afternoon free end up being 3am pickups.
Even if you think they had no moral responsibility, it's clear they had legal responsibility.

This is an interesting idea. I initially assumed you’d just structure your payload (eg titanium) to ablate during reentry.

But maybe you can do something better with carbonaceous asteroids, or simply with regolith, to produce a cheap ablative shield. I suppose the problem would be with the changes to aerodynamic profile during reentry - but perhaps regolith tiles could be manufactured to ablate in a consistent-enough pattern?
Anyone with experience?
How so - Lidl created something for their own demand, and started selling it to externals and found demand. Nothing protectionist in that
Yes. And it works when implemented correctly. See China.

>“The way to look at mental health care from an insurance perspective is: I don’t want to attract those people. I am never going to make money on them,”

Exactly why healthcare should be a human right and not a business. As someone who’s grown more conservative over the years, this is where I draw the line. Unfortunately since people will always see mental health as secondary to physical, this will always be overlooked.
Flu variants infectionness variability is just a so well known variable that the researchers would have to be really mediocre to not take that into account, the official press release mentions they're performing the studies on four kindergartens, so they're most probably comparing against each other.

Nice. I installed one of those addons to hide that crap. I only use my fb for my local pet shelter that I volunteer at and other things I volunteer with since tech is well, in transition to say the least.

https://micg.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/output.gif

I have to scroll for like 2 minutes just to find a local group post (small town that gives out local town news), It's all suggested/sponsored/ads.

I have facebook blocked in my /etc/hosts file so I can only view it at the shelter etc. But yeah, that's the crap its feeding in our faces. When you visualize it, it's like and see what it's really doing to your brain/eyes, you need to reclaim that time and attention sink.
The Y Chromosome Is Slowly Vanishing. A New Sex Gene May Be the Future of Men (2022)
There’s some studies showing parents of kids in daycare are sick upwards of 90% of the time.

I don’t know if it was that much, but when my kids were in daycare, it was definitely A LOT for sure. Work doesn’t provide nearly enough sick time for that period of being a parent. So what are parents to do if they’re not able to work from home?
Watch his interview with Tucker Carlson and you’ll see. He doesn’t acquiesce to government requests for moderation control, censorship, and sharing private user data so they target him. He refuses to implement backdoors as well. In stark contrast to western social media companies.

Okay this is crazy, but when I went to your website I looked at the church picture and thought "I recognize this!". I live at Forest and Waverley :D I will definitely going to add Palo Alto to my site and try and replicate this tour :)

Starting with cities and AI generated guides is a way I want to bootstrap this project. I strongly believe the best guides will be those created by people who are passionate. Your work here is proof of this :)

If you are local to Palo alto still I would love to chat with you about the idea. In any case thanks for sharing here :)
It is unrelated to technological innovation (in the short run). I expect the same result in US. Europe is not united enough to have a separate from US opinion.
I believe that privacy not inspectable by law enforcement is a fundamental right. I'm willing to accept that aids some crimes but also willing to change my mind if the latter becomes too much of a problem. It doesn't seem to be the case at all ATM.
Yeah that feels pretty cut and dry. But even if it was encrypted at rest, it sounds like the server has the key to everything anyway so it’s not E2E.
I’m sure a post office would definitely refuse a legal request to intercept the mail.

In your hypothetical of it only costing a few dollars a year the economic savings just by not having children be sick even once would easily outweigh any downsides. Also, we already have this for many diseases. They’re proven and they work just fine. Nobody reasonable is advocating you avoid the flu shot just because “everyone now has the same immunities”.
I am making the data available for others to use for academic analysis and/or supporting legal action. The large Canadian grocers are known to price-fix and collude, and it would be interesting to see if there are any patterns in their pricing movements. (My contribution is "getting the raw data")

The data was posted publicly online on the merchants' websites.
I think a lot of the world's leaders would agree with you, and the overwhelming majority of the human population who think one of the main problems facing humanity is how the world leaders are leading it would disagree.

Overlooking a person's humanity for the sake of efficiency is at the root of the problem, and an attitude that supports it as at the root of insult culture.
You have to send the moderators a message manually. They can unhide comments held by AutoMod.
Go on then, explain why you believe something like MCAS is too complex to make properly. Mismanagement is the root of these problems, not the supposed complexity of the problems.

MCAS was one flight control law, a one that was poorly conceived in the first place and then botched in implemention, but still only a single flight control law. If you think that such a system is too complex to created properly, then please tell me how many thousands of engineers must have been on the team that created the first all-digital fly-by-wire system for an aircraft. That was a hell of a lot more complex than one flight control law on a 737, and they were actually doing something new back then. Thousands, why it must have taken tens of thousands of people amirite.
What recent experience? Do you mean keeping them home from school for covid? I don't think the knock on effects from that are remotely traceable to their immune systems.
Cancer when left untreated costs the insurance a lot of money, even if only for palliative care. Suicide on the other hand is a one-time event with minimal, if any, insurance cost. It's a trivial business decision.
It was said specifically while in this discussion, directed at me.
I travel world wide for work, 350 days a year. I know exactly how big the globe is.
That I would drive across a continent is ludicrous.

That many American cities are these monstrosities where car travel is the only way to navigate is because of poor design not out of necessity. The American car industry managed to halt the installation of public transport to a more effective degree than their European counterparts in the 50-60s.

This is not because Los Angeles is bigger than Zürich, or that it takes twice as long to cross the US compared to Europe by car.

In Zürich and Switzerland, they have highly effective trains. The US could do the same, but choose not to.
What you've written is unproven, and I see two facets of confusion:

First, there's a huge difference between "strong" immune responses and "good" immune responses.

Triggering the adaptive immune system is dangerous, like unleashing Skynet robots against a zombie apocalypse. You don't nuke a city at the first police report of one person biting another. Your body has a ton of cascading safety interlocks to try to avoid triggering more than is absolutely necessary.

Second, there's a difference between "we need dangerous exposure to actual pathogens" versus "we need calibration against a mileu of benign species we co-evolved with."

There's no evidence our immune systems are somehow "weaker" than our ancestors', but they do seem to be miscalibrated and trigger-happy.
