During the recent debate around the Assisted Dying Bill in the UK, I listened to a radio phone-in in which a palliative care doctor explained that it wasn't possible to relieve all suffering for all patients.

People "demake" games all the time. Nobody complains if those games are missing most of the features of the original because the core gameplay loop (the essence) is the same. That's the point here -- you can make a small-scale, low-resolution version of a major program in a very small space.

I think that the AI-pretending-to-be-human does not have much future, because if people end up chatting with AIs why not go with the real thing rather than with the only-fans ones. The only-fans creators are training their replacements.
Data Modernization for Gen-AI – 4 Stages of a Data Engineering Re-Think
Data Modernization for Gen-AI - 4 stages of a Data Engineering Re-Think:

Today’s Gen AI application often includes structured ML & LLM-Ops for qoq growth, complex LLM-apps, vision agents as well as compound AI systems, which in turn includes all of the above.

Data engineering for such complex AI systems, thus must enable knowledge creation, reasoning engines, & self-reflective evals, while providing high ROI. Unfortunately today’s data engineering was never designed with such goals in mind.

One consequence of this is an unhappy CFO - best described by David Cahn (Sequoia Capital) in his article “AI’s $600B question”. (https://www.sequoiacap.com/article/ais-600b-question/).

The response to this is to think about data engineering as a 4-stage progression, with each stage providing building blocks for modern AI applications.

These stages do not obviate the traditional data engineering structures, but add to it, and definitely extend the scope of what we consider data engineering, today.

I used to love YouTube's algorithm: suggestions outside of my subscriptions but exactly on the spot. I used to took time to curate.

However since few months, all recommendations became off track. Then I started to realize these recommendations were related to the life of people I know. At least most of them, some subjects are private and personal, so this is really unsettling and I can't say if the algorithm is halucinating or not (I want to know if people tells me, not like this...). I have the impression that this is a Plato's cave illuminate with the private lives of those around me.

Technically, my understand is this:

* YT suggests channels closed to my interrests

* YT picks videos with thumbnails very closed to this "life of others" feed = the thumbnail leaks more than the video title.

I ended up to send a feedback to YT, no response, but most of these recommendations disapeared, and then it went back here and there, so I don't use the recommendation page anymore. YT music has more or less the same issue with automatic playlist.

The analytical part of me wonders why YT subscribes me to these "feeds", how these "feeds" are fed (maybe it goes beyond Alphabet / Google), but that's strange and disturbing enough.

Note: perhaps the fact I use ublock, blokadda, Firefox, etc... most probably makes my profile focussed on technical stuff, which makes other recommendations more visible.

4 years ago I was 100kg @ 185cm. Never touched PEDs. All it took was being in the gym going all out for around 2 hours, 6 days a week. My body fat was 13% consistently. I tried going below 13% until it started to affect my strength.

The rest of my life also revolved around recovery and nutrition because very quickly I realized that I needed to make extraordinary efforts to allow my body to recover from the regimen. I slept 10+ hours and ate around 3300 cals daily (TDEE was massive).

Being on antidepressants at the time made eating these amounts much easier, as it seemed to turn off something in my brain responsible for me feeling satiated.

I started gym after being diagnosed with the psych issues. I really put 110% effort into it and got… big stretch marks because my muscles grew so fast. I don’t think what I was doing was ”healthy” as much as it was ”I am super depressed and heavy barbell squats is my coping mechanism”.

I just wanted to say, you don’t need PEDs to get ”scary” jacked. But you probably need to be crazy like me.

> How about a tiny bit of responsibility for the startup bros who just flung this thing out into the world without proper safety checks?

What more "safety checks" do you want? The output is censored, there are warnings all over the dang app.

The vast majority of C.AI's user base wants this. This is what they pay for. In the bland, droll world of over-corporatized wording everywhere, they find C.AI's spicy unhinged personas refreshing and fun.

Are we just going to make it illegal to have spicy or uncensored AI chatbots? "The fictitious text from this obviously fake robot can mislead children! Think of the children!" Is that what this is coming to? Maybe we should ban particularly dark works of fiction, porn, edgy video games, and edgy forums while we are at it too. Perhaps go the Australia route and require your government provided ID be uploaded to every service you use. For surveillance - oops, I mean for the children, of course!

Or maybe instead of going the nanny state route, we expect parents to parent. C.AI is a perfectly fine product, and if you can't handle it, don't use it. If you don't want your children viewing it, do whatever it is you do to prevent them from viewing other 18+ content. There is no need to ban a whole category of product.
You nailed it with this comment. Yes I was giving a generalized statement. I do believe the majority of patients are blissfully unaware and not suffering. They laugh and joke and tell the same story they enjoy telling over and over lol. There are some cases where they seem scared or panicked. In those cases you work on routines that they can fall into and communicate with the doctor and if possible use medications to make them more comfortable.

I worked in a advanced dementia facility for years. Ops mom having undiagnosed UTI is unfortunate but in facility it is much easier to spot for those who are experienced. The frequency of bathroom trips and believe it or not you learn the smell of a persons urine and bowel movements. So when things smell off you investigate.

I can't say I know exactly what the patients are experiencing but I have had years providing care for dementia patients and a huge part of that is family members. I really teach them about burnout and not to feel guilty asking for a break. I praise them for what they do. I am watching family members just as much as I am the clients (I am currently not in facility but work out in the community). Many of the family members are elderly also so may lack full understanding of everything. If they are crying or yelling things like that I discuss with the team strategies how we can make it easier for them.

So much to say here but your comment hit a lot of very good points. Many people genuinely care and want to help. Nothing is perfect and some cases are very hard to manage. I too am sorry to hear op struggled with his mom it is one thing to see it in a client and another to see it in a family member. I wish anyone experiencing it the best.

With someone like Alex Jones, the statement 'I heard him apologize for it' is pretty much meaningless as he demonstrably changes his stance constantly to fit the most useful minute-to-minute narrative for himself.

You basically need to look at the long-term complete picture of how he characterizes his role (I'd suggest https://knowledgefight.com/ as a great source for this) in relation to Sandy Hook.

I cannot recall a specific instance of him apologizing, but I'm convinced he has at one point or another done so. But the number of times he's minimized, ignored, mischaracterized or outright lied about his involvement and impact on the Sandy Hook victims far, far, (FAR) outweighs the actual times he's ever admitted fault and/or apologized.
I agree.

> Just like you have a formal paper with CEO signature printed out - you know that guy is not going to sign million of copies.

No, but I assume it would still be considered a valid signature in case of some legal dispute. The CEO may not have signed the document by hand (nor even read it), but the company placing the likeness of CEO's signature in the document signals that the CEO accepts responsibility for it. The CEO is still "in the loop" anyway, they had to personally approve the use of their signature like this.

Which is to say, I consider such "fake signatures" perfectly OK. I just don't consider them as a sign of care or personal interest.

Now, marketing communication that does it, is another story. It's bullshit all the way through, signature included.

> I remember only one where manager of 100 or so people in business unit who actually wrote 100 cards with name for each of us.

Which reminds me - even actually hand-written letters can be fake. Have you ever found a hand-written letter inviting you to a Bible study?

I grew up in a religion that's big on preaching; mostly door-to-door, but when that's for some reason impossible (e.g. time, health constraints), people would write letters instead. Some people were real "high performers" here, in the sense they would sit down over couple evenings and hand-write couple dozen letters, to be distributed around some neighborhood instead of going through it personally. I used to be impressed by dedication, but it eventually dawned on me - it's just exploiting the faux personal connection. They're selling something (which they may feel is genuinely worth it), and hand-written letters is just a sales tactic. They're hoping you pick it up and think about how much effort someone put into a personal letter to you. But the effort is not genuine; it's a fake signal. In reality, the author probably had a good time spending an evening with friends, writing a letter after letter after letter.

So while I 100% believe the intentions of that manager of yours were pure and his heart was in the right place, I post this as a warning for the general case: high effort doesn't automatically imply it's genuine and honest. If it feels like sales, it probably is.

Related: the secret to pulling off a magic trick is to put much, much more effort into preparing the trick than a reasonable person would expect. Same applies to sales.
If it is equally understandable to most people and uses fewer words that would make it technically the most concise way to express the idea.

Robocalls. That said, they're likely "virtual" providers, which are in turn enabled by "Mobile Virtual Network Providers", companies that sell telco-provider-as-a-service, so that a virtual provider only needs to focus on sales, marketing, first call customer support, and legal liability but not the technical nitty gritty. I hope the FCC goes after these MVNOs enabling them next.

So, aside from the only-fans specifics, the general idea as I get it is that if a human presses the send button then the content that is sent does not have to be registered as "AI content"? Seems like a cheap way to go around this. AI generated content should be marked as that and people should not interact with AIs thinking they interact with humans, in any context. Using autocomplete to get the next word as you type and gneerating a whole message and sending it without even reading it is not the same. Same goes for code.

There is ultimately a monetary value of extended life.

In single payer systems, that’s determined by a body whose responsibility is to provide the most effective healthcare to all its citizens given a limited budget.

In the US, the monetary value of extending your life is proportional to the amount of money you spend on your health insurance (and appropriate actuarial tables).

Both systems have flaws.

> You're motte-and-baileying here,

I disagree. They're fundamentally the same at the core. The argument at hand is whether or not Matt is where he is because of free labour. And the answer to that is a clear no. Automattic would not be a multi-billion dollar company because WordPress powers so much of the internet that Automattic gets lots of hosting customers. WordPress has such a big market share because Matt has invested heavily in the open-source version of WordPress.

And since the argument is based on wether of not Matt is where he is because of free labour the other person needs to prove that he is. I can't prove a negative. I can prove that nearly all the top contributors to the project have been paid by an entity related to Matt.

While you've attempted to frame the argument as something else, I believe that would be considered a strawman fallacy.

In a system of socialized medicine, is the goal of society to spend the money available to save the most people?

Taking into account that people have the greatest medical costs near the end of their life, should the system save others by limiting either the total available spend or the cost of any particular treatment according to some metric?

Should the system repeatedly and frequently remind people that are older and alone in the world without support from friends or family that euthanasia is an option?

How often reminding them would be considered coercive?

Is it coecerive if the system decides if you are over 70 years old that euthanasia is the only option you get offered when your condition is one of a long list of non trivial chronic conditions?

What if we find that in practice (as we almost certainly will if we dare to look honestly) people of certain genders, ages, ethnic groups, economic demographics, are more frequently told that killing themselves is an option they should seriously consider, compared to how often it is recommended to the general population?

Should the suicide prevention hotlines be shutdown and instead become suicide suggestion hotlines?

What about cases like chronic depression?

I'm just asking questions from a hacker perspective when people are busy considering offering euthanasia to everybody (sometimes advocating at every age) is some kind of virtuous undertaking.

People don't consider that throughout society in all walks of life and occupations some portion of people are sociopathic and pyschopathic (possibly with uneven distribution), and some plan administrators, whether that be socialized medicine, or large corporate insurance providers, will interpret their incentives to either their own benefit and/or the benefit of their organization, completely at odds with what you might consider the interests of the individual.

His point is that the long-distance connection has been digital for many decades now, even back in the 1980s according to one comment here.

He's being hyperbolic of course, since there's people in their 90s and 100s who made phone calls way back when you had to talk to the operator to place a long-distance call. But the general point is valid: how many people here actually remember the days when the connection was all-analog? You would have had to be making LD calls in the 1970s probably.
Not to mention SQLAlchemy supports the unit of work pattern meaning you can update many objects at once. It tracks and figures out how to apply the updates all in one go. Django supports one object at a time.

With SQLAlchemy it's easy to build mappers to real domain objects that are independent of the database. Most Django people treat the Django models as entities or, worse, do business logic in views etc. It's possible to implement unit of work on top of Django, but that's then another layer you have to maintain yourself (which SQLAlchemy does for you).

But SQLAlchemy is harder. It's better but it's harder. Django is easier to get going with. But it bites you later (unless your app is just CRUD, in which case Django is all you need, well that and a better way to generate HTML).

The way I see it you have to have a threat model, otherwise your problem space is way to big.

If I ask a person to do a audit I will tell them what the scope of their audit is, e.g. check the physical security measures of our server rooms. Otherwise they would have to take literally everything into consideration (what if the accountant is a malicous actor, what if the server rooms are attacked by a military, what if our hardware is swapped out during delivery, what if..) and they would never be able to stop.

If you take security seriously you try to defend against likely attack scenarios first. Your way to control that is by choosing the scope of audit.
In C++ they're alternative tokens and should be keywords, so maybe googletest is providing them as macros as workaround for a compile that didn't support this?
