The article's title is iffy.

They (and linked articles) discuss a proposed broad 60% tariff on Chinese goods, but Taiwan is not China, so I'm not sure where GPU imports is impacted. They speculate that China may decide to blockade Taiwan in retaliation for broad tariffs but that's speculation too.

If anything, they--which includes xAI and other obviously heavy donors who want the flow of silicon flowing--should support free trade with Taiwan and support its protection from its neighbor. A tariff on Taiwan goods would be disastrous to many US tech sectors.

And yet Netflix, Amazon, etc recommend movies and shows I’ve watched in the last 6 months. They literally know who I am and what I’ve watched and can’t/won’t build a basic recommendation engine that includes “don’t recommend things watched in the last X months”.

Maybe there’s a reason they want me to rewatch things, but I find it extremely annoying to have the first rows of recommendations be things I watched recently.
Hasn’t been implemented so how do you know the outcomes won’t be there? Real policy as you call often times fails to have intended outcome or has lots of unintended consequences.
> all the not-so-great new software from Apple came with Swift rewrites, hard to not make a connection...

That's a leap, but I understand your point of course. It _MIGHT_ also be said it all came from ObjectiveC experts having a first go at Swift, too. Or from groups that were run by some common set of "get it out the door" middle management types.

Or any of a thousand reasons.
That is fair. I do not find pop appealing, but the fast food analogy is apt.
> I think people in general felt they were much freer to speak using English rather than Japanese.

That's true to my experience with Japanese ESL students (not in Japan). Some explicitly told me that themselves; many others had that vibe.

Hi, I'm Matt. Currently, I'm employed full-time as a front-end developer, but looking to see if there are other options available. I have created the JavaScript Today website, and have worked on that for about 3 years now, growing it from 0 readers to being the number one result in Google for "JavaScript blog". Among other things, I'm also working on a local real estate application, which is almost ready for launch (a realtor has already offered to buy it).

I like building things. Would love to see what you've got. I'm also open to contract writing, SEO work, development, and whatever else you might have a need for. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Warmest regards,
Matt

I don't see how that relates to monorepos. Even using submodules a single commit hash will specify the commit hashes of every submodule (usually; you can actually set up submodules to point to a branch instead of a commit but I've never seen anyone do this).

There are definitely huge benefits to monorepos but I don't see how this is one.

> unfortunately, these words, as well as "nazi" and "fascist" have been misused, abused, and overused to the point of utter uselessness.

Yep. The ‘Twitter Left’ (pejorative) royally shit the bed with this one. Their unbridled vitriol contributed heavily to the overall ‘no words mean anything anymore’ nature of US politics. It’s really the primary way that the Left contributed to the whole phenomenon.

Dare point out that something someone did isn’t actually ‘fascist’, and dare suggest that the implication only serves to muddy the waters, and you’ll be chastised by someone that in all likelihood isn’t as much of a ‘radical leftist’ as you in any meaningful way.

I hope the loud kids are happy with where we’ve ended up. Evidently so, because it’s only gotten worse.
I would like to see the details of this, do you have the source available publicly or a blog post about it?
I am so upset my math skills lagged behind the rest of my technical skills, I struggle greatly to grok the math in this. I also find it quite difficult to brush it up enough to be happy with my level of understanding. I know I am able to, in high school I probably could have tackled this, but not now, with so many things sloshing in my brain.
I am not talking about the legacy. The legacy will live one - I mean technically the world has changed post 2016 and it has not gone back since then. And it won't.
With 2024 it might change the landscape more.
Every dumb rule and warning label has a story attached.
hey, it definitely works! it lets politicians pat themselves on the back like they did something and get some brownie points and maybe even more people to vote for them.
History should have taught us that the answer is no, the solution is not less freedom.

It does make me want to watch the movie Equilibrium though.

I genuinely do not understand how anybody could listen to Trump saying something about a topic he clearly does not know about (of which there are a couple -- let's face it) and describe it as "selling".

I'm not at all attacking you here by the way. But I'm legit speechless at that interpretation of his senile rambling.
I've noticed quite a lot of Prolog content lately. I don't know if it's just a case of the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon, but it looks to me that recent article[1] about Prolog being able to improve LLM reasoning abilities renewed some interest in the language.

What does privacy-first mean? Don't socials already have two modes: public-post and friend-post? Celebrities are public figures, why would they want a privacy in this scenario?
It is not because of Biden/Harris. Trump will not make it better, in fact he will make it much, much worse.

That is the point. General public either does not understand or does not want to understand the nuances. That is the unfortunate situation we are in. To them, they are unable to afford stuff, Biden is the president, so he is to blame. And Trump capitalized on it completely.

Politics is largely not a logical game, it is an emotional/knee-jerk-reaction game. If it was logical, nobody would ever vote for people like Cruz, Trump, Boebert etc.

> they bend over backwards to find ways to convince themselves that he’s somehow not a lunatic for saying it

look, you've probably never listened to more than 5 unfiltered minutes of him speaking [0]. His supporters know he's not a lunatic, we've heard him talk for almost 10 years. Imagine a friend of yours saying something like what he said, actually imagine a normal friend of yours saying it. You wouldn't all of the sudden think he's a lunatic. Your 1st assumption would be "maybe they discussed something to do with one of the chemicals in one type of disinfectant possibly having another use" if that's a little crazy, maybe he's tired or joking or something.

Point is, in Bayesian terms, it really depends on your priors.

[0] I thought of an interesting exercise: If you commit to listening to his interview on Rogan, I'll listen to an episode of your choice that you think will enlighten me
You couldn't be more wrong about me. In-fact I did not vote for Trump and have always been in the centre, between the republicans and the democrats. Shockingly I'm considered right wing by the left and left wing by the right, albeit moreso by the left. I'm exactly who both parties should be targeting when they want to win an election and while I couldn't bring myself to vote Trump, the democrats certainly didn't sell me on Harris.

I have observed from the sidelines how both sides behave towards one another and while there are some extremists on the right whose behaviour is utterly shameful, I have noticed that a significant number of moderate people on the left have grown utterly intolerant of conservatives over the last decade and they'll vocalise their disgust and even go as far as lodging complaints with employers or writing negative reviews about businesses, outing and harassing people whose views they disagree with. While the extreme right tend towards violence, what those on the left do is equally disgusting, yet they do it with a false sense of righteousness.

With investing you can make 1000x your money if you bet right. Your returns are determined by your best bets. You can be spewy and it doesn't matter much. Or you can wait for aces and then bet big. It's up to you.

With poker it's not like that. Blinds force you to play mediocre hands and make bets when you're weak. Minimizing your losses with correct play is essential, otherwise you'll bleed out. You can only make money in poker when your opponent makes mistakes (good opponents don't make many) but you can lose money in every hand you play. That's why it's a defensive game.
That's true... It's hard to make sense of it. But I suppose you can try to just skip that part, not get triggered by it, and just focus on practical issues and explanations why things are such. Inflation is high because of Covid aid et cetera.

I though personally believe this was mostly just Covid & immigration fallout and not really tied to Trump per se. Could have been almost anybody with those talking points with a sprinkle of charisma and they would have won. Assassination attempt helped probably as well.

Q: Count the letters in 'Hippopotamus'.

A: 9 letters

Wrong! The "Large Language Model" obviously lacks a coherent understanding of language.

"Language" is supposedly it's bread and butter but the "language" it produces is "correct" only from a statistical perspective.

In other words, it simply can't be trusted --- because it lacks any coherent understanding of what you or it are saying/asking.

LLMs fundamentally turn computing on it's head. Instead of accurate results at low cost, they produce inaccurate results at high cost.

Excerpts from a conversation about personal information management
Shallow interactions are shallow, deep interactions are deep, equally shallow interactions are equally shallow whether online or offline and the same for equally deep interactions. I'm not going to argue about what specific action corresponds to the precise depth of pushing like, whether it's saying "hi", grunting, making eye contact, or what have you; both online and offline you have a spectrum of ways to interact and having both shallow and deep options available is important, because you wouldn't want to start at the deep end with a stranger; you start with something shallow and most of the time it stays shallow but occasionally you find it worthwhile to turn it into something deeper.
Did Tim Cook publicly comgratulate Joe Biden when he won? I don’t think so. Even if he did it wasn’t newsworthy. Trump supporters ask yourself this. What does it say about Trump that public displays of fealty are seen as necessary by powerful CEOs?

EDIT: I am wrong about Cook not tweeting when Biden won. I don’t think such tweets were newsworthy when Biden won but maybe I’m wrong. It feels to me like there is a need by the monied class to massage Trump’s ego. Maybe I’m blinded by bias in this regard and my perception is completely wrong.

Overall my post was a knee jerk reaction and not well thought out.

Elsewhere on that same page, "Ochlocracy is synonymous in meaning and usage to mob rule or mobocracy", which links to a different definition:

"mobocracy: Rule or control by the mob (or by the mass of ordinary people); a mob as a politically powerful force."

Those movements were certainly mobs as politically powerful forces. Had they succeeded, they would have been examples of control by the mob.

Then there's the history section of the page you linked, where we hear about lynchings and riots as examples of ochlocracy.

So why do you think those movements/riots don't qualify?

You seem to imply that this is some metaphysical discussion on the nature of "truth" itself or who gets to be the arbiter of that - but I feel this is a dishonest digression here. Yes, truth can never be truly established - but both you and I know that Chamath's take on All-In for this particular claim was clearly false.

I agree with the poster you replied to. I guess you have a point in that there is no law that can tell Chamath to shut up and only open his mouth when he is talking about something with high confidence - but when you are speaking to a large audience on matters of economic policy with some implications as to what people believe then YES - you have a responsibility! The punishment to which breaking it should be (for people with a huge outreach like Chamath) being shamed online for it. People should learn the fact that Chamath is a man who chronically opines constantly about things he has no basis for having an opinion on. He is a chronic borderline liar.
Not sure why but I'm quite tickled by the existence of WhatsApp groups to coordinate who's paid their bribe for the day. I think it's the thought of breaking the law being done in an orderly way.

The sentiment that the article carries implies a level playing field culturally, ideologically, existentially…just about every component that determines how people feel and think about themselves and what they base communities off of. These principles are no longer enumerated to all at once all of the time and we are responsible for this collapse. These principles are even categorized under opposing interests and influences.

I’m not thinking about market share and disputes over UI conventions between vendors when I can’t go up and down on a webpage the way I can on virtually every other webpage no matter how sensible those things may sound in theory, in practice they’re irrelevant to me. I guess the same way a person is not thinking about whether or not they care about January 6, or whether all immigrants are Mexican rapists, or whether Haitians eat cats when they are upset about their relationship with themselves and their immediate community.

Yes okay, fine, sure, I’m sorry, I gotcha. But that doesn’t change how I feel or how I think about what I’m actually upset about because I am a human being and the part of me that makes me feel alive is indifferent to reason in the conventional sense and I don’t know you well enough to know that dying next to you is a better alternative.

Yeah, that's a good point though, of course in most situations it is more urgent so this choice makes sense. BUT in this case not being aware of the dual input made the GPWS worse. So in this paricular case it was not.

Personally I would do a different type of alarm for dual input, like a big red light somewhere. Or just not allowing dual input somehow (always requiring the use of the takeover button).
> As usual, the problem with this is that it assumes a way to perfectly identify somebody on the internet

Nope, it does not require this.

What you can do is to construct a zero-knowledge proof of the age of the smartphone user. You can do this based on the certificate that is provisioned in modern electronic passports. The proof construction can choose to ignore expiry date, so the government can offer to issue expired passports with blank photos for the instances of people who should not have functioning passports.

Then you need the social media sites to agree on a common auth mechanism that uses the zero-knowledge proof, and if the same proof gets used on multiple devices, you log out the previously used device.

So even if a parent lets their kid use the parent's passport to generate the proof on the kids phone, every time the kid uses this proof, the parent gets logged out of Facebook and all other social media apps.

Then no parents are going to let the kids use their ID, because of the negative impact to themselves. And you have no more means of tracking than already exists today.

This also offers interesting possibilities for a startup! In the EU today, there are essentially zero legal ways for a 12-year-old to have a group chat with their friends, apart from RCS and iMessage, which then divides the friend group into two halves. Imagine then a chat app aimed specifically at group conversations for teens, where every user has a verified age. This type of app is something parents will pay good money for.
Interesting. I have a friend who has been completely unable to upload a photo for his passport renewal online because he has a lazy eye.
