> He often was accused of being a wimp because real men embrace risking their lives.

By whom? I bet that's not true (although to be fair, sports commentators can routinely be pretty spectacularly stupid). As a three-time world champion who won his first one in 1969, I don't think there were any people who could call Jackie Stewart a "wimp" without appearing ridiculous.

I think there were one or two incidents nearer the end of his career when he refused to race for safety reasons and some others (Jacky Ickx?) went out. Those guys are friends and I think everyone concerned understood the importance of safety, so it's... complicated.

Or you could work it out and add documentation. The beauty of open source.
Based on the context Ilya is not referring to that kind of agent. He’s referring to something more fundamental (which I was curious about, too).
Do you have a source for the US being a "leader" within trucks, SUVs and heavy equipment? Doesn't match my experience as someone not from the US who sees mostly brands not from the US.
My goal here wasn't to build the best possible writing analysis tool, it was to try out these 2010 bash script rules in a slightly more convenient format (and to play more with Claude Artifacts).

I've actually had a tiny bit of trouble using LLMs for writing analysis in the past, though that was more about spell checking. I found they often missed obvious errors, probably because the tokenization step means they don't "see" the exact original prose in a way that makes those errors as obvious as they are to me.
The potential buyers mentioned in this article are not serious players. None of them are capable of raising the sums required to buy TikTok even in a distressed situation.

As it is now the most rational thing for bytedance is to leave the US market for now, and focus on the rest of the world.
Only some parts of the government “required” their employees to get vaccinated, the entire US government didn’t. Even those bits only hit ~98% compliance.

When you volunteer to work for someone you’re agreeing to do what they want or quit, that’s by definition a choice. When many private employers had the same requirements complaining about overreach by the government is misplaced, it’s at most overreach by employers.

Jaynes definitely made the case for this a long time ago, and in my opinion he's correct, but I think that view is still not mainstream; or even if mainstream, certainly not dominant.

I do think social media has something to do with it, but I think to me it’s more the shortening of attention span e.g long form journalism -> tweet, Books -> TikTok’s, I think people just actually struggle to contain themselves if someone is speaking for more than ~20 seconds
The April 1984 issue of the British magazine "What Micro?" (70p from all good newsagents) contained a spoof review of a revolutionary new PC, the "Victori XZ64/4A".

A paragraph in praise of its display reads:

"Now lets move on to the display - and what a display it is. No less than 30 colours are available from Basic: white, off-white, cream, dark cream, light tan, light brown, bamboo, medium tan, medium brown, wood brown, sepia, burnt umber, oxtail, mustard (both French and English), khaki, off-brown, chocolate, dark tan, dark brown, dark burnt umber, burnt chocolate, drinking chocolate, ovaltine, light black, medium black, dark black, brown with a hint of green, brown with a hint of red, and brown with a hint of reddy-green. On some televisions these colours tend to look a little muddy, but with a little hunting around compatible sets can be found. For the purpose of this review I am using a VictoriVision Super Compatible available at most good electrical shops in Taiwan."
> I personally don't even own or need a car

This is likely due to similar "annoying" regulation in the past, eg making space for bike lanes, investing in public transit and giving it more space than cars, and so on. These all have been protested using the same kind of vibes as how you're now protesting EVs and attached bottle caps. "We can't even park by the C&A anymore! Ridiculous! Will this madness ever end?"

What I'm trying to say is, when you say "boo climate policy", I read "boo progress". Is progress sometimes annoying? Sure! Is some of it ill-advised? Yeah also. (Or incorrectly billed as progress even). Is it then a better idea to just not solve problems and keep everything that's bad now, bad forever? No! It isn't! It's a completely show stopper argument. Usually with things like these, the annoyances are now, and the payoff is in the future. This holds for environmental policy just as much as bike lanes.

Spanish culture encourages humility/modesty through idioms, like "tu humilde servidor" (your humble servant), "aquí, humildemente" (here, humbly), etc., but these are frequently used as humblebrags. I wonder if that happens in Tibetan culture too.

Hard drugs are already effectively decriminalized in CA. When I see cops literally turn the other way to not have to see someone smoke a rock and have to write them a ticket thats how you know. I can’t say that this policy has lead to anyone getting help.

I disagree with this, but I definitely understand your argument. I just don't see how someone who oscillates back and forth from various clients, even if they're all in the same industry, can get enough deep background to be able to coherently make recommendations about business strategy.

What power brick? Flair makes manually operated, lever-based espresso makers. You heat the water in a separate kettle and you can buy whichever brand of kettle you prefer.

Are you referring to a Flair grinder? That seems irrelevant to the gp’s point.

Anna’s archive has files specifically for training LLMs. But I’d guess the big players secured their share beforehand, by scraping those sites. I have zero proof, it’s just a guess.
The issue is more that simulations diverge exponentially with time from any nonzero error in the initial state. With perfect knowledge of the initial conditions and parameters you could simulate the system perfectly, but you'd also need to accumulate zero numerical error along the way.

If you don't demand perfection, then in practice you can do pretty well for short times.

(List generated by ChatGPT)
So in your view, when a human does it, he causes a minute of harm so we can ignore it, but chatGPT causes a massive amount of harm, so we need to penalize it. Do you realize how radical your position is?

You’re saying a human who reads free work that others put out on the internet, synthesizes that knowledge and then answers someone else’s question is a minute of evil, that we can ignore. This is beyond weird, I don’t think anyone on earth/history would agree with this characterization. If anything, the human is doing a good thing, but when ChatGPT does it at a much larger scale it’s no longer good, it becomes evil? This seems more like thinly veiled logic to disguise anxiety that humans are being replaced by AI.

First, when I joined the project, it wasn’t clear how it would be published. Svelte, which outputs compiled JavaScript, can fit into many CMS workflows that newspapers/publishers use.

I believe Svelte was developed by Rich Harris at the NY Times for this very reason.

We ended up using iFrames, so other frameworks like React could have been used.

Second, Svelte is very well suited for these small interactives because it has built-in state, transitions, and reactivity with low overhead.

Third, it was a personal choice, as I now do most of my work in Svelte.

Hah, aphantasia enters the arena...

I was a voracious reader of fiction as a child, and in a way immersed myself in books too. But, I never really considered whether other readers are having an accompanying visual experience that isn't just pages and pages of typesetting. I also went through a phase of reading a lot of poetry, and was a bit of an outsider because my experience of it is also as text on a page, not some reconstructed audio performance.

On the reading speed topic, I don't have any performance metrics for myself but it seemed I was pretty fast and comprehensive compared to peers. I definitely lean towards the gestalt parser side of things, taking in phrases or larger blocks of text rather than scanning one word at a time.

As an adult, I've noticed that this ability seems to be more content dependent than I originally understood. If I encounter truly unfamiliar writing styles, or even unfamiliar typesetting conventions, I can find myself getting "disoriented" and having to go back. It's like my visual parsing and lexical parsing pipeline tosses up some kind of "parity" error and I have to go back and try again.

I think this reading stall also happens more often with non-fiction, and wonder if that's because I mostly assimilated fiction idioms. So my brain has more trouble predicting and assembling texts that follow other structures. But also, the non-fiction I encounter is more often written by international authors with English as a second language. So that may also shift grammar and prose conventions...

True, but this is also an emergent behavior of the Meetup UI. It has no (clear) way to say "I'm interested, might attend, can't commit right now, please remind me day-of." So if you want that reminder — if you want it on your calendar — you have to RSVP as if you were really 100% coming. Meetup doesn't (clearly) offer any other option.

I've RSVPed myself with this intent plenty of times. I'd use a "maybe, please remind me" button if it existed.

Contrast Doodle.com, which offers a "yellow maybe" option intermediate between "green yes" and "red no."

Your six year old source itself states that in 2017, China stopped the import of foreign garbage. Meaning plastic pollution will have dropped in the six years since your source was published.

More importantly though, it wasn't even necessarily China's waste. Rich, Western nations like the one you're (likely) commenting from have sent their plastic waste to China, where it ends up in the sea. And you use that for justification that "using less plastic doesn't matter", and that it's "mostly virtue signaling".

It survives a few timid taps with a hammer, which isn't impressive (regular glass beads can do this).

It then also survives having the remains of the tail cut off with snips, which is a thing that Prince Rupert drops do not survive -- as a rule.

If I had to guess, then I'd guess that heating it and cooling it relatively slowly (as shown in the video) has somewhat annealed it, and thus converted a Prince Rupert drop into a regular slug of glass.

Massive, massive amounts of privilege to think that way, in fact.
