Not surprised at all. Facebook owns the platform and outlined in the ToU that they can do whatever they want with the content you post on there.

At least it's better than scraping content off platform (which I'm sure they've done) and using that, but using content posted on their own platform seems like a no-brainer.

It's hard to support this when the effect will be higher prices for consumers and literally nothing else. It's a noble goal but man, wrong bill, wrong time. All the shit is still going to come from the same factories in China because no one else is making most of this stuff, the tariff isn't going to move the needle to on-shoring most of these industries, for Temu it's textiles. I really don't believe that this tariff will buy the US anything.

This is incredibly cool.

FlowTracker reminds me a little of taint analysis, which is used for tracking unvalidated user inputs or secrets through a program, making sure it is not leaked or used without validation.

Internet pubic and Facebook public are two different things. The latter can't be scrapped easily or really discovered at all. It's not indexed or usable outside of Facebook, and most folks don't think public means "folks not on Facebook".
That’s nothing. AOL has just finished training on 29 years of emails and messages. it’s hoped that with more H100s the AI will finally be able to calculate the full amount due by BillG for the emails mom has been forwarding.

You're probably among friends on this site, but outside tech coded spaces, most people understand that publicly available is not the same thing as an unlimited license to do whatever you want.
As an aside: OnlyFans 80% revenue share rate is practical only because it does not offer App Store-based billing (which would take 15-30% of revenue off the top). In fact, neither iOS App Store nor Google’s Play Store even allow for pornographic apps. Usually, such a ban would destroy a media platforms’ business model, but browser-based experiences are fine for viewing photos and videos and sending messages (in contrast, most games can’t even run). And while apps tend to offer better user experiences and far simpler payment processes, most OnlyFans customers aren’t dissuaded by the need to use a browser, nor the extra hoops involved in manually entering a credit card number (again, this is less true for casual games or ecommerce).

IMO the lede is a bit buried within the article. The idea that a non-app could survive this well within the strangling iOS system should come as a revelation to the greater iOS community.

Also add Ada... we tend to forget Ada but it was doing what Rust is before it was cool.
That will depend on language features (for example, multilevel/labelled `break`), performance (exceptions may or may not be slow or interfere with some kinds of optimizations), and personal preference (similar to the disagreement over whether or not it's bad practice to allow multiple `return` statements in one procedure).
I didn't make it to that element of the demo because I don't need a tool to help me find which file HTML text strings are from or that HTTP headers come from my web server. So I would recommend putting that "wow" element earlier in the demo.
Since the proposal is moving to try expressions, my main criticism there is that I don't usually just want the error as a value, as then I still need to check it and write a branch to handle the error case. It's nice that I could use const on the value variable instead of let, but that's such a small gain.

What I really want for the expression to return the value, but give a branch for the error case:

// We still get a catch block to handle errors in
const value = try foo() catch (e) {
throw new MyError('Error trying to foo');
};

Otherwise we have to write this to handle the error:

const [value, error] = try foo();

if (error) {
throw new MyError('Error trying to foo');
}

And it's far to easy to forget the error handling code altogether, resulting in silent failures.

This would include all those celebrity posts on Instagram. Great for deepfakes. They'll try to protect against that, but a bit of cleverness with prompts should be able to get around the filters.
Sadly, this will kill the US. We have no other aerospace manufacturer at that scale.

Unless you're not in the US, you want Boeing to get better, not fail (or root for a competitor, but I see no such thing)
can you not hire people who are good at hardware with billions of dollars of investment?

Clearly not in Bezos’s case.

There is no magic involved here, some people have the skill/experience to lead the design, build, and selling of innovative hardware, others don’t.

For example, for designing new rockets, one of the major things Musk innovated at SpaceX was the traditional aerospace design cycle. Instead of spending 5 years on countless analyses and few actual tests, like the incumbents did/do, SpaceX built and destructed as many prototypes as possible, learning rapidly and innovating. Musk knows what innovative design truly requires.

What did Bezos do? He hired a bunch of ex-Lockheed and Boeing engineers/leads (from an industry that for decades has not felt market-driven pressure to innovate), and those engineers/leads just kept doing things the old fashion way.

When the person in charge (Bezos) misses this detail, no amount of money or wishful thinking will fix this.

> Total energy dissipation is at best a crude proxy for progress, because efficiency.

The relationship is still positive, because of Jevons Paradox. No matter how you see it, even if there are bad diminishing returns to using additional energy, we can find additional useful things to do with it (new ways of recycling, terraforming, high-energy synthesis, etc.)

> In order to measure "progress" you have to determine what is good, which is an open-ended question that increases in difficulty as one's intelligence grows

Reducing suffering is probably the only universal good that I can think of, but we haven't even managed to come close to making it our priority. So until we focus on that, it's a good goal.

The best way to reduce suffering is through good healthcare and keeping a working social contract/order.
Some level of acidity is normal in any coffee, an increased level is common to lighter roasts. You can get a good darker roast espresso which won't be very noticeably acidic or you can get a good lighter roast espresso which tastes like fruit juice. At that point it's a personal preference.

Also I wonder if there is something per account anti-scraping... So you might be able to scrape everything with single account, but if you hit multiple models there is some limits? Never used OF, but could be a some limitation.

I wonder how much safety work they have to do specifically because of this. I’d imagine their model might have a fairly paranoid, slightly racist bias if not. Particularly as younger demographics shifted away from FB in the last decade.
What is that assumption based on?

There have been numerous scandals over the years regarding their lack of care when handling personally identifiable data.

Meta is not who I look to for being extremely diligent with data.
We’re in Punta del Diablo right now, and heading back down toward Montevideo (but not all the way) this weekend, then next weekend back to Montevideo to fly out. Any recommendations on where to stop on the way back? Anything important to see along the way?

And what’s up with the random street performers? :-) We’ve seen jugglers and unicyclists at seemingly random street locations, just doing their thing ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Once I had the vision to track data over the internet, like where came the image from, on which cdn was it.

You are right, I thought about it a bit more, and I think it was more vanity for me, since I was fairly young when the hearing loss started. But hearing aids nowadays are so inconspicuous that most people don't even notice them.
So bynext year Waymo’s rollout will look like this:

* Los Angeles - Waymo One

* San Francisco- Waymo One

* Phoenix - Waymo One, Uber

* Austin - Uber

* Atlanta - Uber

It’s still early days for AVs, so I’m guessing Waymo is still experimenting with which model they want to go with. I wonder if we will see Waymo or Cruise launch on Lyft as well.
> In fact you mentioning how they are like hearing aids has made me justify never wanting a pair.

Why? Because hearing aids are unsightly? Are wheelchairs unsightly? Canes? Prosthetic legs? It looks to me like this idea of what’s “unsightly” is being fed by a cultural bias against the disabled. Interestingly, glasses were “unsightly” a few decades ago, and now they’re in fashion. It would be nice to see the same thing happen for other assistive tech.
No one cares that humans and wasps and beavers all change the landscape over time. What makes humans exceptional is that we can decide how we change the landscape, understand the impacts, and can choose which impacts on nature are desirable. Animals don't have the ability to really consider the impacts of their actions on the world around them, but we do which imparts onto us a higher level of responsibility.

We've already poisoned every living thing and every source of water on the planet with toxic "forever" chemicals we created. They're in the rain that falls. The body of every newborn creature is polluted by them before they draw their first breath. That's just so fundamentally different from "But look at this ant hill" that it's hard to imagine why anyone can't see what sets humanity apart or would consider that difference to be an arbitrary distinction.

We're capable of causing more harm. We're capable of understanding the harms that we cause in ways other animals simply aren't. We're also capable of deciding not to cause harm. We're capable of intentionally making different choices that can help protect and preserve the environments we live in. Our deliberate choices and their impacts on the world compared to the actions and outcomes of every other animal on the plant is about as far from an arbitrary distinction as it gets.

Good point - you said you thought that was the narrative, not what you believed. I'm sorry for conflating the two. My response then would be directed at anybody believing that narrative, which isn't you.
Is this the lobbyists for military industrial complex putting out propaganda in hopes of increasing the US military budget? I think so.
It goes both ways. If Air Superiority now means everything above 500' AGL, then your infantry is droneable. No heavy vehicles or fuel trucks needed.

Seems like the Army and USAF are stuck between a rock and a fog layer. There's now another warlayer and the Key West Agreement doesn't cover it. Perhaps we need a US Drone Force, because the drones the USAF/USN are thinking about are $10M F-35 wingmen.

It says that lead fumes are unlikely to be generated:

Based on standard soldering iron temperatures of 620°F-700°F and the melting point of lead (621°F), it is unlikely that lead fume will be generated during electronic soldering, unless the solder is heated to lead’s vaporization temperature of 3182°F.
There’s a bit of a difference when it’s a corporate officer, and the action in question is not their personal freedom but attempting to restrict other people’s freedoms, including many of the people who would report to them. Someone having an OF doesn’t impact anyone else but there’s at least a valid argument that Eich went beyond his personal freedom of speech when it came to materially contributing to the removal of rights from gay people.

I’m not saying there’s no room for disagreement there but simply that the two problems aren’t identical.

I was at the China Trade Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center 2 days ago. A brand called Java sold automated espresso machines (huge, nearly commercial stuff) for $140. It made a great espresso as well. DIY sounds fun but I'd rather spend $140 and call it a day.
This is true and I wonder if it's going to put them even more into a zombie state of existence. Their bad business practices will keep getting bailed out and they'll never really improve until a better company comes along.

If you think about it, that's probably the most difficult problem conversational LLMs need to overcome -- balancing sticking to conversational history vs abandoning it.

Humans do this intuitively.

But it seems really difficult to simultaneously (a) stick to previous statements sufficiently to avoid seeming ADD in a conveSQUIRREL and (b) know when to legitimately bail on a previous misstatement or something that was demonstrably false.

What's SOTA in how this is being handled in current models, as conversations go deeper and situations like the one referenced above arise? (false statement, user correction, user expectation of subsequent corrected statement that still follows the rear of the conversational history)
Embracing gen AI is absolutely the wrong move for a content creators. People are not paying for visuals and conversations. They are paying for a genuine human to human interaction. If you take away that part, you’re left with worthless pixels on a screen
I have a Consumer Reports subscription and I’ve seen countless videos on YouTube about espresso machines, but after all these years I still don’t own one.

I’m not an enthusiast. I just want a high quality espresso machine that makes consistently good espresso shots. I’m never going to be someone who wants to spend 15-30 minutes on creating a shot of espresso.

I’m bewildered that a machine that makes hot water push at high pressure through a puck of grounds costs more than a high-end computer.

What do people buy who don’t decant the smell of their own farts who just want an espresso machine?

What’s the ATH-M50 or the IBM Model M of espresso machines?
Think back to ancient philosophers. Who got students to pay for their work or students parents, or just outright donations... And later various artists both those creating works and performing them. Patronage is very old model.

People who are covered in tattoos (not just having a tattoo) and who have children out of wedlock are still widely looked down upon.

I think the implication is that if a kid buys a toy they will have something tangible that they can play and interact with, but tipping/donating to a streamer doesn't provide that.
For a safety critical system, the work documenting, explaining, testing, validating, etc. a decision outstrips the work it took to make the decision. It is that way for a very good reason. The problem with it requiring so much work and time isn't that there's BigCorp bureaucracy that needs disrupting, it's that there isn't a problem with the amount of work and time required.
Can’t wait to see the memes it generates.
I don’t agree that was obvious in hindsight. I was familiar with Nebula before this article and I had always understood it to be something like a co-op where creators and only creators had genuine equity. When reading the first bit, I assumed as the author did that it must be something where the co-op owns a controlling share in some underlying company.

The conclusion that there’s nothing like a co-op at all is not what I would have expected and I really think does suggest that it’s all smoke and mirrors. If this “ownership” doesn’t consist of anything more than a right for creators to be paid based on their view counts, isn’t it just a YouTube contract with extra steps?
I agree. Seeing the Annapurna logo in a game has become a signal to me that I will really enjoy that game and that it has a unique, fresh perspective to offer.
Ballard's fiction is great. I'm partial to the early novels (The Crystal World is one of my favourites) and to his short stories.

In his longer works, Ballard's ideas often wore a bit thin. In particular, his late novels (Cocaine Nights, etc.) are the longest — beautifully written, sure, but they are essentially reskinned versions of his earlier High-Rise and Running Wild, where he already perfected the motif of humans in gated communities reverting to base, animal, violent behaviour. We didn't really need those; he'd already made his point.

I do recommend getting his "The Complete Stories of J. G. Ballard" (not to be confused with "The Complete Short Stories of J. G. Ballard: Volume 1" and "Volume 2", both of which it supercedes). It includes classics such as "The Concentration City", "Studio 5, The Stars", "A Question of Re-Entry", "Billenium", and "The Garden of Time".

While I've always enjoyed Ballard's coldly satirical perspective on modern life (The Atrocity Exhibition maybe being the pinnacle of this), I think he's at his best when he gets looser and a bit weird. Nature succumbing to strange mutations feature in The Drowned World, but The Crystal World is absolutely supercharged with hallucinogenic weirdness, a fever dream that turns magical-realist in the end. Later novels touch on this man/nature dichotomy, but not as strongly as his earlier work, although late short stories like "Dream Cargoes" revisit that theme.
Interesting take! I feel like factoring that in:

- low gravity: -1 difficulty

- less traction because low gravity: +1 difficulty

- supply chain from earth: +1 difficulty

- full spacesuit in addition to supplies: +1 difficulty

So overall my pseudo math: +2 difficulty
This is pretty cool! Do you think something similar is possible for c#, too?
