Ah, but what about all the junk ai gen content you may counter, but that stuff only works because of SEO links.

Here's 22 things you need a photo ID for in the USA [1]:

1: buying alcohol

2: opening a bank account

3: applying for food stamps

4: applying for Welfare

5: applying for Medicaid and Social Security

6: renting or buying a house

7: buying or renting a car

8: flying on an airplane

9: getting married

10: buying firearms

11: adopting a pet

12: applying for a hunting licence

13: checking in to a hotel

14: applying for a fishing licence

15: buying a cell phone

16: getting prescription medication

17: entering a casino

18: holding a protest or rally (in some places)

19: donating blood

20: buying X-rated video games

21: buying tobacco

22: applying for unemployment benefits

> If you require voter ID in such a state (and I believe the US is comparable), you run the risk of systematically disenfranchising groups of people - generally the most poor who are less likely to drive, take vacations requiring a passport, etc.

Those people already need a photo ID to apply for food stamps, welfare, Medicaid, social security, getting prescription medication and to apply for unemployment benefits. Photo ID (Real ID and Enhanced ID (for those who need to cross over to Canada) are available at U.S. state or territory’s DMV or equivalent agencies, tend to be valid for 8 years and cost between $30-$60.

Yes that snapshots incur a cost I know. But I’m wondering whether now the action of deduplicating actually created an extra copy instead of saving’one.
Yes, the same cancerous ideologies are spreading quickly to the rest of the world.
Not sure if I can process "incredibly arrogant" in relation to the Herculean work and insight demonstrated.

However, it is important to put things in context. Something can be a 'Gimmick' on several year old integrated mobile hardware that can't run most games at a reasonable FPS without it; and not a 'Gimmick' on cutting edge space heaters.

My tractor from the early 00s doesn't have a turbo. Plenty of VW and Mercedes Benz cars built in the 80s and 90s don't have turbos.

Backpressure aft of the turbo is something you really want to avoid because it makes the turbine much less effective. The whole point is to use a pressure and thermal gradient to do work.

Not in the UK either.

My assumption for the first 30+ years of my life, after watching US films was that it was something akin to walking while looking suspicious.

I find the differing conceptions of 'freedom' interesting. The US likes to think of itself as more free, but they can't even cross the road.

PS fyi, its 'great'. 'grate' sounds the same, but that means a thick metal grid, typically on the floor, or as to grate cheese.
Good on them. I encourage the freedom of protectionist policies because then in five years the average local will realize their government is dumb for doing it.
I have been speaking at about 50 conferences over the years and I refuse to do online ones. Why?

- Conferences are usually not paid, except expenses. In fact the "compensation" for a speaker is to be able to travel and attend in person. Maybe for some this is a drawback, for me it's not.

- In person conferences allow you to meet and network with other speakers. Online conferences do not (unless you count "come to our discord" as networking, I don't)

- The value I get from conferences is also interacting with the public and listening to them, outside of the talks.

- I also don't really get any of the promotion value for my company, which obviously I represent.

In short, I understand they are cheaper to organize but the value is simply not there at all, so I will not speak at them, attend them, or sponsor them.

> I think they were more references the human readability of HTTP/1.0 in general instead of binary encoded data.

Yup! You’re exactly right. I honestly thought that was obvious in context.

There’s something just right about being able to manually connect to a web server and run queries against it, with very little in the way of tooling to do so. Technically, of course, both telnet(1) and nc(1) are tools, and even one’s TCP/IP stack and OS are, too, which is why I write ‘very little.’ It’s a heck of a lot fewer tools, and more general tools, than JSON-over-HTTP or RTP prober.

And — please — do not refer to me as ‘they.’ I am not a collective, but rather a human being. I find being referred to as ‘they’ to be profoundly offensive.

It would be harder to evade but that wouldn’t make it effective. If you hit your wealth creators too hard then they will cease being able to create wealth. Perhaps we have to stop seeing people as leeches and start questioning the government for poor investments.
The thing that puzzles me about embeddings is that they're so untargeted, they represent everything about the input string.

Is there a method for dimensionality reduction of embeddings for different applications? Let's say I'm building a system to find similar tech support conversations and I am only interested in the content of the discussion, not the tone of it.

How could I derive an embedding that represents only content and not tone?
'Upgrading' a Microwave Oven to 20 KW
The Edgerouter X had good specs for the time it was released but that was over 9 years ago at this point. I had to replace mine a few years ago because it didn't have the thruput for my 1Gbs internet connection.

Many modern consumer routers contain processors and memory which can easily handle Adguard Home. I have a GL.iNet MT-6000 with a MediaTek Filogic 830 processor which has 4 ARM A53 cores running at 2Ghz and offloads wifi and wired network packet processing from the cores. It also has 1GB of DDR4 memory. It has no problem handling Adguard home, my 1Gbs internet connection and gives me around 900Mbs of wirguard thruput.

That's too neutral; the result is worse for the end user. It will be impossible to distinguish injected ads, unlike with Google. Furthermore, as it gives a much more direct "answer", people will also trust it more than a website linked to on Google.

I ctrl-F'ed the webpage and saw 0 occurrence of "Minecraft". Why? This isn't a video game, this is a poor copy of a real video game you didn't even bother to say the name of, let alone credit it.
As someone put it, that's from a time when the Internet was a place you went to (usually a corner) and, more important, a place that you could leave whenever you wanted. The dynamic is different.

How many human search queries does Google serve and how much do they make on SERP ads?

I can see OpenAI's revenue per search ending up higher too since the ads will be impossible to distinguish, so even more valuable for advertisers.
I have seen concerns about Chinese software and network gear along the lines of "if this is compromised we would loose everything", which is not a bad position from a security standpoint.

Phones: There was a very large acceptance of OnePlus and other Chinese phones in the US.

Cars: China has just recently started to try and export cars to the US and it looks like the US is putting up trade barriers to prevent that. There are several factors in this, i.e. domestic worker protection.

The only one that may be considered "China Bad" is network gear and software, since the concern is the state apparatus compromising the product being received.

For all other's I have not seen a daemonization of China or Chinese people.

Ritonavir Form III: A Coincidental Concurrent Discovery
I agee with this view. Generative AI robs us of something (thinking, practicing) which is the long term ability to practice a skill and improve oneself in exchange of an immediate (often crappy) result. Embeddings is a tech that can help us solve problem, ut we still have to do most of the work.
But it would disincentive those who create knowledge?
AFAIK, most of the highly specific knowledge comes from a small communities where shared goal and socialization with like-minded individuals are incentive to keep acquiring and describing knowledge for community-members.
Would it really be helpful to put an AI between them?
I work with files every day, and I'm not sure I would have realised I'd needed to save manually with the original MapHub UI either. A web-based interface that looks like that, I expect it to be transparent. If it'd had three icons (the classic blank page, open folder and floppy disk) in the top left, then I'd assume it would need manual saving. (I'm not saying that's what you need to do, just analysing my own intuitions)

It doesn't matter. Google was late to the browser game, yet now the whole world runs Chrome. Analogy applies 1:1 to OpenAI.
Yes, you can solve a cube by this simple algorithm

i = 0
while not solved
apply move(i)

Interestingly, there is no constant function `move(i) = x` that makes this algorithm correct.

If there was, there would be a single element x of the rubik's cube group that generates the entire group (every element could be written as x^n)

This would imply that the group is commutative (x^n * x^m = x^(n+m) = x^(m+n) = x^m * x^n), which every cuber knows is false from experience (permuting moves does not lead to the same final configuration)

An interesting question would then be: whats the simplest piecewise-constant function that makes this algorithm work?

I.e. is it possible to use move x1 for the first n1 steps, then x2 for the second n2, then x3 for the next n3, ..., then xk for the next nk? And if so, what is the smallest k that makes it so?

Yeah, I've already switched back to Firefox. But I have to point out that Floorp has more features than just CSS. Support for installing PWAs and split-mode.
You know this future isn't happening anytime soon. Certainly not in the next 100 years. Until then, humans will be taking care of it and no one will want to work at a place working on some Fransketeinian codebase made via an LLM. And even when humans are only working on 5% of the codebase, that will likely be the most critical bit and will have the same problems regarding staff recruitment and retention.
Yes, but the author (probably) implemented their save system where the client sends the entirety of the save data to the backend; meaning a lot of redundant information is sent.

Ideally, the client should only push changes to the backend and thus avoid the issue of sending redundant data entirely. This means re-implementing their saving solution, which is probably not trivial to do as you also have to deal with the issue of migrating existing save data to your new solution (which might mean some significant upfront costs).

The author didn't address this directly, but what they could do is just implement the autosave anyways and just deal with sending redundant data. But... this probably is quite expensive as the cost incurred per user is proportional to the size of the save data multiplied by the frequency of auto save.
No, that wouldn't work. Radio Targets are intended for the precise repetitions of the same characters. If you surround a regular org link in three angle brackets, eg <<<[[https://www.bbc.com][bbc]]>>>, then the Radio link will clobber the web link on the target itself (ie C-c C-o won't take you anywhere), and it will only highlight repetitions of [[https://www.bbc.com][bbc]] rather than just bbc.

For something similar to what you're asking, I would just go for something like...

The <<<bbc>>> ([[https://www.bbc.com][site]]) is the UK's state broadcasting company. Now when I write bbc (or BBC) these will be highlighted as links and will take you back to the Radio Target in the first sentence and I can then click on the link

Also note that you can mark a word or region and then hit C-c n r (org-insert-radio-target-brackets) to surround it in angle brackets and enable it as a radio target.
Judging from the video on the homepage, the generated effect is amazing. I have added it to the waiting list. When will it be available?
I'd prefer it to work like a normal computer where there's a separation of the OS and the hardware. But sure, other phones aren't better.
Is that really unfair? Surely we can see that in capitalist societies, profiteering from other peoples work is one of the core tenants.
Most people who spread misinformation deliberately tend to have low confidence, seek social validation, and have highly forced extroversion. These people don’t care about the accuracy or validity of the information they channel because their only goal is some form of social dominance and their low confidence continuously accounts for their reinforced cognitive conservatism. Furthermore these people tend to honestly believe the misinformation they push so long as it contributes towards their social goals (gullible yet forceful).

If, somehow, these people could be altered with different non-social goals it would cure a substantial portion of the problem.

I’d argue there’s no such thing as ideologically neutral, just a bias you happen to share. Turns out that even if you consider certain things to be self-evident, not everyone will agree.

IQ is, honestly, a great example of this, where you have two different intuitive models of intelligence duelling it out in arcane discussions of statistical inference.

> A lot of these guys really don't know how to speak

to anyone.
As somebody who grew up right when the smartphone wave was starting, I feel extremely uneasy about ideas like this one.

I have had almost unrestricted access to a computer since the age of 9, and to a smartphone since the age of 12, and I can definitely say that I wouldn't be the person I am right now without that access.

It's sad to see people lament the demise of the "hacker spirit" on one hand, while denying their kids access to the devices necessary for that spirit to thrive on the other.

I've known several kids in my age group whose access to technology was severely restricted, and I strongly believe that all of them were significantly worse off and have had serious mental health consequences because of that. Not to mention that the restrictions didn't actually accomplish much in most cases, and, if anything, caused a form of Streisand effect when it came to e.g. explicit content or talking to (older) strangers online.

Unrestricted (and even more importantly, unmonitored) access to tech provides an "escape hatch" against abusive families. Yes, it may have somewhat of a bad effect on some kids, but for the kids that do need it, it's life changing to an extend that's hard to overstate.

English-speaking countries have always seemed more uptight about this though. I live in eastern EU, and we have never really done the whole "kids shouldn't have access to porn / swearing" thing much either, to the point of not having a word for "explicit" in my language, and using the word "censored" instead.
If Google switched to Fuchsia as the base OS for Android tomorrow, most users wouldn't even notice or care as long as their apps still functioned. Linux is used because it's a freebie, not because of consumer preference.
a) Bad science.
b) Unsupported claim.
c) Who cares, and why?

As an Ashkenazi Jew with an IQ 3 SD above the mean myself, I focus my attention on that question and have a good grasp of the answer. I also have particular insight into why some Jews have high scores, and how the people who care so much about the average IQs of various populations draw all the wrong conclusions from them because of their ideology. (I would also note that many of those who care so much have lower IQs than a very large fraction of the populations they disparage.)
Brave + ublock origin. Almost never see YT ads and haven’t seen a Twitch ad for awhile. If I accidentally see a YT ad refreshing the page makes it go away.
No to both - but it’s important to teach kids self-moderating, both when it comes to food and to internet stuff. Withholding either is in my opinion solving it short-term while leaving kids unprepared for dealing with these things themselves.

This nails it:

> Who Gets To Decide What Is True?

I would not agree to this however:

> It was then up to the reader to decide which of those sites they wanted to visit,

With current search engines, Google decides for you ("helped" by SEO experts failing over themselves to rank higher because their revenue directly depends on it). In theory, you could go an read a few dozen pages and decide for yourself.

In reality, non-technical users will click on a first link that seems to be related to the question, and that's it.

Even with AI-based search (or q/a instead of search) I think the same will happen. There is and will be a huge reward for gaming the results, be they page links or RAG snippets that rank for a query. I've already seen many SEO shops advertising their strategies to keep the customers' business relevant in the chatbot area. As this approach becomes more prevalent, you can be sure many smart people will do many experiments to figure out how best to please the new algorithm.

In other words, AI-based search is an UX optimization, but doesn't address the core problem of how do you decide what content's the best, and do that in context of each user, and do that while maximizing the benefit for the user vs profit for the company doing this.

So we have two huge hurdles:

1. who will decide what the user wants[0] to see, and how are incentives for that entity aligned with the user's

2. how is that entity supposed to find the information needle in the haystack of slop that's 90%+ of current web?

[0] "wants" in a rational "give me the best possible information" meaning, not in "what keeps them addicted, their heart rate up, and what will drive engagement" meaning
