Yes - I saw that this is precisely what was on your mind when you asked about it. Typically celebrities and influencers would pull other people too into platform (well, it could be also visible in revenue).

These are some of the reasons why it is a hard problem.
> I considered a model where users could pay to access celebrity posts.

Why would celebrities be on your platform if you lock the audience away from them?

Also, celebrities with public accounts are ultimately just doing advertising for themselves (and whoever pays them), so you haven't actually escaped the realm of ad-funded networks.

When you "own" a "social network" the fundamental asset you have is the audience, and only people with something to advertise are willing to pay for access to it.
> Wrong! The "Large Language Model" obviously lacks a coherent understanding of language.

It's not all-or-nothing for the entirety of language, but yeah it's known that LLMs are imprecise at mapping from tokens to characters (as a human who only saw tokens may be, to be fair).

For an unseen question, even just to follow the Q/A format and give a right-category answer already demonstrates some model of language, I'd argue.

> "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.

Nothing can be trusted 100%, and current LLMs are far below humans, but both the structure and the meaning of their language is correct significantly above a random-guessing baseline.

A pretrained foundation model will have representations of fiction and non-fiction content, and can be guided towards either one with RL or a system prompt.

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

Compared to what? LLMs often do things that traditional algorithms couldn't, faster and cheaper than hiring a human.

I actually interpret his post as a positive for Cursor (and LLM coding assistants in general).

If you look at his negative reasons:

1. Poor context window/RAG usage --> Will be drastically improved as models get better at large context windows and RAGs get better. We're also severely limited in terms of hardware. As faster chips come out, we can brute force bigger context.

2. AI Overreach --> can be easily soft through more customization/settings and Cursor team figuring out the right balance.

3. Inconsistent performance --> We're limited by hardware. Mostly the same as #1.

4. Setup is a time sink --> just some more UX improvements needed, nothing that can't be overcome easily
It is possible for genes to influence the desire to birth more children, but it seems apparent to me that humans are capable of sufficiently complex cause and effect analysis that genetic influence would be insufficient to drive this specific decision making process, since it’s not a snap decision and there’s so many opportunities to reverse course.

Human beings are the only animal (that I am aware of) that can short circuit the process of reproduction by completely de-linking sex and pregnancy.

It is possible that evolution resulted a trait (cognitive plus physical ability to manipulate nature) that ultimately is not conducive to procreation.

And it is possible that in a million years, perhaps humans continue to exist because a tribe removes women’s ability to not become pregnant, or humans don’t exist but some other species exists with a different mechanism of reproduction, or humans figure out how to make babies in artificial wombs, or humans start living a lot longer, etc etc.
> I hold the (sometimes controversial) view that no developer—or any worker, for that matter—should be forced or coerced.

I hold the same view. If you go just a little further with this ("people" instead of specifically "workers"), you arrive at anarchy.

That said, what a ridiculous idea. Approving your own work is a known anti-pattern, and it has nothing to do with hierarchy or coercion.

> since code changes are reversible

Nothing is more permanent than a temporary solution. Also, depending on the program, your code could actually be putting people at risk (e.g. adding a security bug in Firefox or something like that). Sure it might be reversible, but maybe it won't be reversed for a long time.

No. If it's wrong it's wrong. You'll feel prouder of your work if it's correct than if you just be allowed to do any old mediocre thing. It's like a child getting excited about "helping" when all they did was ruin the food and make more work for the adults.

> Globally, we've been speedrunning fucking up society in critical areas for decades now.

Social media has also been enormously beneficial in terms of crippling the propaganda power of centralized, commercial media. It would be very bad to simply return to the authority of editorial boards. What we actually need is to grapple with the social responsibility that comes with this power, which could take decades or even centuries of living with the internet to wrangle.

Especially now that we know how little of the world traditional newsrooms are even willing to cover, let alone fund coverage of.

Besides, the cat is out of the bag.

"Automat's objective is to be able to semi-autonomously play a variety of games. It's the first step towards a more general environment for interacting with computers."
I can't answer "whether censorship good or bad", but one thing I think is true and needs to be clarified is that there is a democratic process for such legislation -- representatives debate the topic and vote on them, and if they do become law, they may be challenged in the court. They don't just happen. By comparison, censorship in China is mandated by a number of different laws and "rules" with extremely broad and vague words, some of which date back decades, with the explicit intention to be able to arbitrarily enforce the laws based on whoever is in power to interpret them, and... good luck challenging them in courts.

Of course there are lots of caveats here -- e.g. in the US model, what if the executive branch, legislation and the court are controlled by one person (which we'll see very soon), and in the other hand, in China there is actually a parliament and a formal process for many of the legislations (even though that doesn't mean much). Still, at a very high level, there is a distinction.

I think what’s happening to Portugal is mainly due to poor governance. Expats and tourists are a patsy that only affect very specific neighborhoods in central Lisbon.

And anyways we aren’t moving to Portugal. We have a few spots in mind, several of them are within the 2 EU countries where we are citizens. Bit odd to suggest we’d be net negatives in our own countries any more than you are a net negative in yours. But I suppose we are all a net negative when it comes to carbon emissions and environmental impact.

Obligatory 'Chinese ain't a language, you probably mean Mandarin' comment aside, part of the issue may be that Chinese languages are (mostly?) tonal, which for many Westerners is quite a blocker. N=1, but when I see a down-and-then-up tone, my brain just goes 'nope'.

The coalition falling apart isn't really the problem. The problem is that with the strength of AfD and BSW, and the other parties' unwillingness to work with them, it will likely be impossible to form any coalition with a majority next year, which is sure to be destabilizing simply through how dysfunctional the government will be. Again.

Like just blaming Biden who kept inflation down, and electing Trump who clearly will increase inflation.

I guess it's a matter of how you look at it. To me, power is one way to avoid consequences, and anonymity is another. From the way you're phrasing things, anonymity is a kind of power, because it lets you avoid consequences. Both views are reasonable.
It is very easy to build this yourself. Just use your dependency manager of choice that has git support and create a config of versions of the repos and lock file that. Whenever you have a change across multiple services, simply change that config in one go, so that every commit of that config describes a deployable state of the whole project.
> Is the above site BS?

Yes and no. Mostly yes [1].

The first thing to note is that it comes from the Heritage Foundation. Project 2025 [2] comes form the Heritage Foundation. Trump's 3 Supreme Court nominees were chosen from a Heritage Foundation list [3][4]. The Heritage Foundation is largely responsible folr the 50 year Republican project to turn the USA into (quite literally) a white theocracy.

Now that doesn't mean they're necessarily wrong. it's just like a reverse appeal to authority fallacy. But you should be immediately skeptical and scrutinize everything they say because there is obvious and historic bias.

Nobody, including myself, has calimed there is zero voter fraud. There are isolated cases and that's impossible to prevent. Interestingly, if you look into those individual cases, it's largely right-leaning people doing things like being registered in two states and voting twice or filling in their ailing parents' absentee ballots.

So the Heritage Foundation is just blowing isolated cases of voter fraud to imply it's a widespread problem in order to push an agenda aimed at voter suppression.

For sure. It's not like the people will actually get jobs, but they still can sell the dream.
If it helps, I would expect a peaceful transition of power in less than three years - from the President to the Vice President upon his death, at which point yes, I fully expect two full terms of Vance provided he doesn’t screw up this initial one by getting caught up in the chaotic fracas of the inner cabinet. The American People made it clear that they demand the sacrifice of “others” for their personal wealth, and that’s the agenda for the remainder of the decade.

That being said, I can’t say how outside forces could shape things in unexpected ways. A proper WW3 with China and Russia could devastate enough of the world that countries with large immigrant populations end up the new superpowers, isolated from global conflicts and with the population for large projects, quickly. Or it might not. There’s so many potential branches when the status quo fails or is destroyed, that our only reliable sources of data come from those who lived it before us - lived through WW1 and WW2, who witnessed the Holocaust, who resisted fascism and totalitarianism from within and without.

I hope this is a crisis we manage to navigate largely peacefully, educating our masses about a better future together and form a new, achievable American Dream for them to chase. I want us to stop debating ideology in echo chambers, and instead put in the hard work of teaching, and guiding, and helping our fellow man. Pull the socialists, and the communists, and the modern economic theorists, and all the “fringe” groups out of their fortresses and into the streets, exchanging ideas with one another and formulating a real path forward that recognizes we will all have to compromise something to achieve our goal of a better, brighter, more sustainable future together.

Operators like - are just an infix functor for a Prolog term with arity 2:

?- functor(123-"foo", Name, Arity, Type).
Name = (-),
Arity = 2,
Type = compound.

?- 1-"foo" = '-'(1,"foo").
true.

Functors like - only become arithmetic in combination with is:

?- A is '-'(42, 1).
A = 41.

?- A is 42 - 1.
A = 41.

It seems like you are going through the same thought process that I went through and led me to work on https://communick.com. Save yourself a world of pain and find something else to work on.

The amount of people who really value their privacy and are willing to pay to avoid getting their data exploited is too low to matter in the context of a social network. I've tried different pricing, I've tried different extra features, I've tried going upmarket, but I never got a critical mass of people to make the whole endeavor sustainable.

On the content creator side, it's even worse. Creators will always prefer to work on platforms that offer them the widest reach. So even when you have privacy enthusiasts or creators who know all the issues from YouTube/Reddit/Instagram, they will still keep a channel there out of fear of not keeping up with "the algorithm".

If you really insist on going mad like me and believe that this is a worthy cause to work on, look at the existing social networks that are based on open source and open standards, like PixelFed [0] and Vernissage [1].

It depends on how many services connect directly to the database. More than one and there be dragons.

The biggest problem is schema changes, because they require the library to be changed. The apps now need to match their library versions against a schema they don’t control. It’s messy to schedule and rollbacks suck really bad.

A microservice that returns data from the database can paper over a lot of schema changes, because the responses aren’t directly tied to the schema. Data can be shared without clients ever knowing, entities can be moved and split between tables without clients knowing, etc.

I try hard to only have 1 service connect to a database directly. If there’s only 1 app, it can have a direct connection. If there’s more than one, I like to chuck a micro service in front of it.

Nope. When I worked in a factory as a teenager, ICE came in and presumably deported all of the illegals, because they didn't show up the next day.
