amazing work to the Upbound team!
I like how currently on LinkedIn there’s a feature to use AI writing assistance to help land your next job. Like if I can’t write how am I ever going to work a job
And people are running things that take minutes to run when a good multi-cpu framework would make it seconds.

Maybe add a dataflow analyzer to Python and do it for people.
They managed to make File Explorer itself considerably worse over time as well.

They really pulled out the monkey's paw when I wished for tabs.
Lol you really just linked me to a research paper. Good luck trying to get your everyday gym go-er to match their training volume in one session in an effort to save time (as per the link). But I was actually trying to say something different.

If your routine involves the squat and you progressively load it each week, yes, you'll build muscle. That single exercise can easily suck up 15 minutes of your session though, and the time investment is usually greater the longer you've been training. And typically people are interested in aesthetics in their upper body. You're not going to build your arms by doing a squat. So, again: it depends on your goals. If your idea of fitness is having strong legs, glutes, etc, then sure, you can target that and be successful in one hour. If you have bigger aspirations, the story is different.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there is a technique to certain compound (free weight) movements. A lot of people don't start their fitness journey that way (and some have good reasons for doing this). If you start using machines that are more targeted, then you will easily blow past the hour mark.
If I recall the original law in North Carolina to limit community-owned broadband was called "Saving North Carolina Jobs Act" or something similar. It came about as a backlash to powerline broadband. Ironically all the people that seem to be laying fiber are contractors from Florida.

NATO can’t do shit. Ukraine should get nukes like North Korea has.

It’s the ultimate card for deterrence. One you have nuclear weapons, no one fucks around.

Russia would have not invaded if Ukraine had nuclear weapons. Period.

US is tip-toeing with Russia because they have nuclear weapons. If they didn’t we’d be raining missiles on them like we did Iraq.

Iran will get nuclear missiles. They see how US behaves with North Korea.

In any given social network this ratio is very screwed. Most people have to became interacters at least a couple of times before they can become an interactee.
No, I certainly don't think Trump is a fundamentalist Christian (or indeed any type of Christian); he has been a useful idiot for them in his Supreme Court and other judicial appointments, however, and will presumably continue to be. I don't think it's particularly likely that he'll, like, try to make executive orders on fundamentalist lines or anything, but he'll likely continue using the list of judges fed to him.

> and many even support abortion - just until 16 weeks or 22 weeks or some line other than just before birth

Many who? If you mean many fundamentalist evangelical protestants, I don't think you're correct. If you mean many republicans, yes, you're correct; they are mostly _not_ fundamentalists, though fundamentalists have great influence over them (this is IMO an oddity of the US two-party system; the libertarian is thrown into the same political grouping as the fundamentalist, the fascist, and the robber baron, despite none of these groups necessarily having all that much in common or liking each other very much).

As someone else mentioned, see Iran, before and after. Things can change quickly, and the US does feel like it's in a rather dangerous spot these days.
Its not nearly a simple desktop widget like the ones mentioned here, but the right answer is a monitoring solution.

Personally, im a huge fan of zabbix, because of its flexibility and ease of use (been poking with it for 20 years so maybe im biased). I have it running for my homelab, which includes a remote server. I have a whole page of network stats, including graphs for data from `mtr`. Id rather have a dashboard to go look at than something that is always in my face, but thats because i dislike taking screenspace for things im not working on.

Great feedback! The fact that it loaded in Spanish is actually a bug, so I really appreciate you taking the time to test it and point it out. We’ll probably move the language option to the header—definitely a good idea.

For the redesign, one thing we’ll need to ensure is that it doesn’t alter the basic structure of the rooms, including openings and dimensions. As for the floor, it might also be part of the remodeling work. We could give the user the option to keep the floor/ceiling and other areas that are less likely to be changed in real life. What do you think?

Thanks!
They could be considered as infra provider in this case. Like for ground phone lines and required to lease those to competitive service providers. If this happens here will be a pressure from such providers to lover the price.
Fox News, Newsmax?
Prediction: All corporate-backed general-purpose LLMs/AIs will eventually include ads. They won't even always be obvious ads like we have on the web, sometimes they will just be product placement. Ask the AI for an example of a linked list, and it will give you one, but the sample items in the list will be Coca-Cola, Lexus, the name of the closest marijuana dispensary, etc.

If anyone wonders why Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and other tech companies who make gobs of money from advertising are so interested in AI, this is why. The ads will appear so "naturally" inside content that it will be impossible for a program (e.g. adblocker) to tell the difference between the content and the ad.

There is NO better way to deliver an ad, short of directly injecting thoughts and memories directly into the human brain somehow.

> You don't have full control over the knife. In fact it's not about your use of the knife.

There are many knives in your relative proximity all the time. Some of them are used for your benefit, other are used for other's benefit, every one have potential to be abused against you by evil actor.

> The people in control of the knife have a poor track record at caring about you, and belong to a category that history has proven we should not trust.

Scrutiny should be proportional severity of harm times the frequency of harm.

> Every time you use the knife, you sign a blank contract giving full authorization to future non-specified knife usage to people you don't know nor do you know their motive. And you trust none of those people, for an indefinite length of time, will abuse it.

Everytime you enter restaurant or even leave your house you are giving full authorization to people around you who posses knives to use those knives for non-specified purposes. You can only hope they are reasonable and won't cause you harm.

> Cumulative use of the knife can accumulate stabs that may be delt to you and all your love ones one day all at once

Knives don't need to accumulate anything. One misapplication can end your life literally

> Use of knife can be automated and scale at the level of all countries.

There are many machines that are basically bunch of fast moving knives. It's on you to not be where they are. Their operators are bound to take precautions proportional to harm times the frequency of harm.

> Most people are not knowledgeable about the knife, don't know much about it, and it's invisible to them

You usually can't really tell how many knives are around you and most are hidden at most times.
What you are describing sounds an awful lot like Snapchat. I would honestly just download Snap and tour their
App since they have already come up with solutions to all of these problems. They aren’t always great solutions, and snap is still mostly an ads platform for revenue, but the core product gets right to this issue.
Privately held companies have the option to reject these offers. A business doesn't have to be a non-profit or community-owned in order to do something principled. One good leader/owner is all it takes.

What part of Project 2025 (which Trump has publicly disavowed) are you actually afraid of, where Republicans would actually be able to and would take action? Also, on that note, can you point to a single part of Project 2025, from what I understand, that even the Democratic Party would not have been running on just three decades ago?

After all, it was Bill Clinton who signed the Defense of Marriage Act. Going "backwards" (a cultural reaction saying we went too far, too fast) is not to be confused with an Iranian revolution.

Politics is a pendulum - it swings left, it swings right. A swinging back right after it culturally swung left for so long, is not a sign the pendulum is broken.
Yes technology but the thing underlying it is convenience.
I feel like they'll always exist in some form. Regardless of how likely it is to get jobs through them, people are always willing to spend money on the unlikely hope of an easier/better life. People are still going to university and spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on degrees that probably won't let them make anywhere close to that amount of money in the foreseeable future.

But the demand might drop a bit anyway. People have noticed how dire the job hunting situation is at the moment, and it's especially bad in tech. I suspect some people will be put off by that anyway.

I much prefer a chronological feed, but they don't work in reality. All current social media platforms rely on their algorithm for discovery.

Without it you may have a very large social media site on paper, but each user only interacts with a small subset which defeats the point of a social media platform. You've effectively created a group chat service that technically doesn't prevent others from joining in, it just doesn't let others find the conversation they are interested in

Kids get around COPPA all the time. Everyone in my kid's middle school knows that you have to simply lie about your age when you sign up for an Internet service, because most of them won't let you in if you are stupid enough to say you are under 13, and the services that let you in are nerfed to the point of uselessness.

Furthermore, now I have to navigate the morality of encouraging my own kid to lie, just so she can use an online service that I approve of as a parent. Terrible law.
It's not about the necessity of specific sensory inputs, but rather about the difference in type of model that will be built when the goal is passive, and auto-regressive, as opposed to when the goal is interactive.

In the passive/auto-regressive case you just need to model predictive contexts.

In the interactive case you need to model dynamical behaviors.

> Vetos almost definitionally aren’t destructive as they prevent things from happening.

Government funding flows through congress, and being able to veto it means Trump gets enormous control over what goes into it, because legislatures generally won't put things into it that he will refuse to approve, and conversely will put things in that he will approve. Outside of his war powers it's probably the most extreme power in the US.

There are three checks against this that I know of. One is if Congress is not aligned party wise, they can punt to a large degree. Non-issue for Trump since they control Congress. Second is 2/3 majority but given our highly partisan state, unlikely to play any role. Third is perception, Congress and President and play the blame game, which affects their re-election. But given Trump's level of influence that is also unlikely to be a playable card, at least in the near future.

In all Trump has an enormous ability to shape this country through this power alone.

> Pardon power is another like veto: all it does is restrain the government (in this case, from punishing criminals). Not much damage.

Yes but if he's pardoning people he knows, and in particular in a quid pro quo fashion, he can use it to effectively do illegal things without doing them himself. It's a serious loophole.

Overall if people are voting for him because they like what he's doing that is one thing. But I suspect many people voted for / not against him because they ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and say what's the worst that can happen. And the answer is a _lot_. Though I still believe electing an election denier is the biggest issue, because its the simplest way to short-circuit our institutional protections in the future.

You are way too worked up. “Already starting to hate those who are not in it”. There is not a whiff of evidence of that in the comment you are responding to
That you can do what you describe is why I love the Internet! There is effectively no limit to the scale and topology of the network, and with a well-configured system you can literally yank cables out and find the network operating without more than a second or two of additional latency. I play chess on lichess.org, and when the Wi-Fi signal drops out my device switches to LTE without even interrupting the game!

The fact that all of the above is possible with only a single kind of cable and generic, 'dumb' switches is icing on the (seven-layer) cake.
Arch has consistently proven itself to be the perfect machine for me. I go for months without a reboot even with daily package updates. 2000 line C window managers like DWM leave me more productive than windows ever has
Mostly because they didn't live up to their values in the past at all. Underperforming despite plenty of opportunity and lacking integrity is just too much. Blaming it on an opposition is weak and translates into lack of power, lack of strategy, and lack of volition.

Republicans had it way too easy, actually. It's the same with The Right in Germany. They are being auto-promoted by actors like von der Leyen, who blind specific population segments like moms and women who are trying to make it while negatively impacting any orbit they are assigned to and shoving tons of money to consultancies and the likes.

> I'm planning to launch a privacy-first social network in 2025, inspired by platforms like Instagram

Brain dumping my thoughts in this space (actively working in it), sorry if it is disorganized.

I would start by deconstructing your problem statement more and focusing on _why_ you want to build this; be very explicit and precise about your thesis. After getting a clear and conscise articulation of your why, your thesis, go talk to people about it. Randos at the bar, the gym, your church, school. Your social network, if successful, will be used by these people. Find places to kick up conversations with strangers. Ask them what they do. Eventually they'll ask you what you do in return. Use that as an opportunity to pitch your "why" and see if they get excited.

If random people aren't getting excited, your why isn't compelling.

If you are wanting to imitate Instagram, you are building a _social media_ application not a _social networking_ application. Social networks are focused on community building (creating social connections). Social media is a variable rate reward machine (casino) that hypes up randos on the internet in an attempt to make them famous in front of other randos on the internet. Social media algorithms optimize for things like "engagement" and "view time" - is this compatible with your current thesis? If not, what changes do you need to make to the Instagram experience to make it compatible? If it is privacy first, how will you feed your algorithm?

You also need to solve the game theory of the platform. Its more than just revenue, though getting people to pay you for this is a big part. The game theory includes moderation, lawfare, personal morals, etc. How are you approaching _sharing and storing content_? Are you going to slot a server into a server rack? You'll have to pay for that of course. But you'll also have nation states and other power seeking actors knocking on your door about your thesis and asking for control/influence over that server- what are you going to tell them? How are you going to align incentives so that your thesis doesn't fail under the pressure from U.S. clandestine operations? Will you be compelled by law at some point to abandon your thesis? Will you be compelled by your own morals to abandon it? How will you handle that?

When it comes to infrastructure costs, the more you personally host the more revenue you'll need to keep the thing afloat. It doesn't matter if you are a non-profit, a public benefit non-profit, a for-profit entity... someone will have to give you money to pay for storing and serving all that content.

The more you can rely on the infrastructure provided by your users (their internet, their compute, their storage) - the cheaper it will be to run. The more you rely on your users infrastructure, the fewer centralized points of control their will be for power seeking actors to try to capture.

This is getting rambley, sorry. I've spoken on this before (in the context of building peer-to-peer social networking experiences) if interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeZgCy3ub6M
> People are going to keep trusting these guys, simply because they have a hard-on for charismatic people with a lot of money, an extremely short memory, and refusal to believe that they will be the next ones to be scammed.

This thread is literally CHALKED FULL of people being like "but I like the vibes despite the obvious signs of charlatanism".
You’re the only one making assumptions here. You have no clue what my interests are or my background is.

Assumption 1: That Americans want those manufacturing jobs

2: Those manufacturing jobs still exist and are not simply automated away

3: People will still want to buy those goods at 30-1000% higher price points

4: That the onshoring of the lowest-quality jobs on the planet will pay enough to overcome the new inflated prices of everyday goods

I assume that people don't know what they're talking about on this subject because 100% of people I’ve seen defending the policy make dumb arguments, while approximately every single economist on the planet argues the opposite.
Oddly remembers tabs for me just fine.
It's not inaccurate though? This is a complete reversal.

Disclaimer: I am European AND Old, so I studied Latin for 8 years (Middle School + High School).

I am not sure I really understand your comment here. If you are studying an ancient language you acquire zero fluency in it. At best you can read it, unless you were lucky enough to meet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Foster_(Latinist) (and this would apply to Latin exclusively).

So it is a bit like saying, I dunno, "in terms of proficiency per unit of effort spent" playing Street Fighter is more "efficient" than practicing a martial art in an actual gym/dojo.

When I was at university, Flash was very popular.

Websites like this were our main projects.

It was easy to make them team projects, they asked us to split between programmer and designer.

The designer had to create the assets.

We had a photo lab and the designer was sent into town to take photos.

We weren't allowed to use stock images, which would have speeded up the process.

However, it was still relatively simple for young adults to create the elements.

AI is cool, and yes, it will make everything faster.

But I don't think the wall here was feasibility, it's more that the skeuomorphism trends ended and the market was saturated with highly dynamic interactive websites thanks to Flash making them easy to manage.

So the trends stopped.

It's nice to see it coming back, it was a lot of fun creating them.
