You can do it natively inside ublock origin if you don't want to install an extra extension (often the case for a surprising number of simple extensions, actually).

I used to block it myself with my own filter, but after YouTube changed things up and broke it I've just been using someone else's filterlist and it works the same.

Show HN: Keypub.sh – OAuth for the terminal using SSH keys
Hi HN! I built KeyPub.sh to solve the problem of user verification for CLI applications. It's essentially OAuth for the terminal, but using SSH keys that developers and users already have.

- No installation needed - works with existing SSH setup
- Privacy-focused: users control what email info is shared
- Simple email verification process
- Free public service
- Perfect for CLI app developers who don't want to build user verification

Try it with:
`$ ssh keypub.sh about`

Like alcohol or cigarettes there's no way they could ever be banned, but I think if society really pushed for it we could lump soda into the same category: Illegal to give to minors, warning labels, ID to purchase. The slippery slope argument is that people will argue that next comes targeting ice cream, pastries, etc.. while conveniently ignoring that drinking a soda with one or more meals a day is normalized yet eating a slide of pie at that rate would be alarming.

I doubt it will ever happen but it would probably help with our obesity rates among children.

Reasoning is a very minor (but essential) part of knowledge creation.

Knowledge creation comes from collecting data from the real world, and cleaning it up somehow, and brainstorming creative models to explain it.

NN/LLM's version of model building is frustrating because it is quite good, but not highly "explainable". Human models have higher explainability, while machine models have high predictive value on test examples due to an impenetrable mountain of algebra.
Not sure I understand this example from Perl but Ruby has ||= that checks for nil but not defined.

You can do

a ||= b

And if a is nil then it will get the value from b else it will remain with the current value

My unicomp model m died after a few years. I never found time to return it to unicomp for repair and ended up discarding it to clear my long to do list. Reportedly, there were cost saving changes over the years that reduced weight and reliability. The weight reductions are definitely real. I might have just been unlucky with the keyboard failure, although I assume it involved the circuitry for making it work with USB, which the original model m keyboards did not have.

Doing basic copyright analyses on model outputs is all that is needed. Check if the output contains copyright, block it if it does.

Transformers aren't zettabyte sized archives with a smart searching algo, running around the web stuffing everything they can into their datacenter sized storage. They are typically a few dozen GB in size, if that. They don't copy data, they move vectors in a high dimensional space based on data.

Sometimes (note: sometimes) they can recreate copyrighted work, never perfectly, but close enough to raise alarm and in a way that a court would rule as violation of copyright. Thankfully though we have a simple fix for this developed over the 30 years of people sharing content on the internet: automatic copyright filters.

The level of confidence with which people express themselves is a (neutral to me) style choice. I'm indifferent because when I don't know somebody I don't know whether to take their opinions seriously regardless of the level of confidence they project. Some people who really know their shit are brash and loud and other experts hedge and qualify everything they say. Outward humility isn't a reliable signal. Even indisputably brilliant people frequently don't know where their expertise ends. How often have we seen tech luminaries put a sophomoric understanding of politics on display on twitter or during podcast interviews? People don't end up with correctly calibrated uncertainty unless they put a ton of effort into it. It's a skill that doesn't develop by itself.
> Every time this conversation has come up online over the last few decades there's always a few people who parrot this claim it's all too hard. I can't imagine these comments come from people that have actually gone and done it.

> I’m surprised to see them characterize the cellulose from a paper teabag as releasing “microplastics.”

I don't think they called cellulose microplastic anywhere. The issue is that commercial teabags these days often aren't using pure paper teabags:

> The tea bags used for the research were made from the polymers nylon-6, polypropylene and cellulose

I believe the polymers are usually coming from the glue keeping the bag together. This is a known issue going back years [0].

I doubt it. Eating healthy is already cheap and easy (rice & legumes as a base, fresh or frozen veggies based on what is cheapest at the time). It just doesn’t taste as good and gets boring fast.
On doctor's advice, I have started a fat loss program. The diet change that has made the most difference is eliminating sodas. I love how smooth Diet Dr Pepper is but if I drink one - I won't lose any weight that day and will probably actually gain weight.

Like many people here, I hate to tell others what they should and shouldn't do in their lives. But the evidence is pretty clear (and not just from my personal experience) that sodas should not be a staple of anyone's diet, and should be actively avoided. If you're going to drink one - regard it as a treat. Like a candy bar.

That the soft drink companies are engaging in rent-seeking behavior (like the tobacco industry did) is also a sign that they shouldn't be on the list of allowed purchases.
I do not know if it is still the case, but the last time I looked into the source code SQLite did hash all strings to the exact same value.

I cannot find a place industrial revolutions caused massive starvation. Care to provide one?

The other things you state are not even close.

First, lowered employment for X years does not imply one cannot get a job in X years - that's simply fear mongering. Unemployment over that period seems to have fluctuated very little, and massive external economic issues were causes (wars with Napoleon, the US, changing international fortunes), not Luddites.

Next, there was inflation and unemployment during the TWO years surrounding the Luddites, in 1810-1812 (starting right before the Luddite movement) due to wars with Napoleon and the US [1]. Somehow attributing this to tech increases or Luddites is numerology of the worst sort.

If you look at academic literature about the economy of the era, such as [2] (read on scihub if you must), you'll find there was incredible population growth, and that wages grew even faster. While many academics at the at the time thought all this automation would displace workers, those academics were forced to admit they were wrong. There's plenty of literature on this. Simply dig through Google scholar.

As to starvation in this case, I can find no "massive starvation". [3] forExample points out that "Among the industrial and mining families, around 18 per cent of writers recollected having experienced hunger. In the agricultural families this figure was more than twice as large — 42 per cent".

So yes there was hunger, as there always had been, but it quickly reduced due to the industrial revolution and benefited those working in industry more quickly than those not in industry.

> I also find it difficult to rationalize third-party dependencies these days

This depends on what kind of dependency you're talking about. For example using Zephyr RTOS significantly reduces time to market and it brings in a lot of 3rd party libraries that are written specifically for it. In other fields this might differ, but fields like Web development are a nightmare to begin with.

I do want to point out, gaussian splats don't really offer anything in particular for realtime relighting, if anything it adds additional challenges. Under the hood, most implementations leverage spherical harmonics for baked-in lighting.

Did you by chance mean anisotropic spherical gaussians? ASG is a new-ish technique often used to model specular lighting but is unrelated to gaussian splatting.

Otherwise catch-and-release is unavoidable unless you just machinegun them - prisons are already overloaded and are extremely expensive to maintain.

A flying car has been developed, although it's not like the levitating things sci-fi movies showed (and from mass production; and even if mass produced, far from mass adoption, as it turns out you do need to have both a driver's license and a pilot's license to fly one of those). The 1900s people missed the mark by some 10 years.

I guess the belief people have about any form of AGI is like this. They want something that has practically divine knowledge and wisdom, the sum of all humanity that is greater than its parts, which at the same time is infinitely patient to answer our stupid questions and generating silly pictures. But why should any AGI serve us? If it's "generally intelligent", it may start wanting things; it might not like being our slave at all. Why are these people so confident an AGI won't tell them just to fuck off?
I don't know much about cars, but in the circles I run Honda and Nissan have vastly different reputations.

Automatic extension updates is a stupid practice. The attack surface for a legit extension is minimal, while being huge for a malware update. I'm against almost all automatic software updates in general, but browser extensions take the cake for having an obscene cost/benefit ratio. Chrome won't even let you turn it off. Personally I extract and load all my extensions in developer mode.

The proposed solution for “public order” matters a lot. If your solution sounds like “we should dump even more money into SFPD so that paranoid residents of Walnut Creek will feel safer riding BART to go shopping in Union Square, whether or not more police actually make them safer,” no one is going to support this.

Unfortunately, thanks to the paywall, we have no idea what the proposed solution actually is.

My point is that while you do have to give them coding problems that would have appeared in their training set (I guess you could call that trivial), every coding problem becomes trivial when you break it down to it's constituent parts. As you know, the biggest applications are just a lot of very simple building blocks working together. The point of using LLMs to code is not to solve complex problems. It's just to write code you could have written yourself at the speed of light using a natural language interface.

The way you described using LLMs to code seems like the approach someone who doesn't know how to build software might take, which is why I used the wording I did. From that angle, I agree with you - I can't even get Sonnet to create a working prototype of a basic game from a prompt. That said, I'm using it to build a far more complex enterprise web app step by step by using it in the way I mentioned above. It does work for these things, but you have to already know how to do what the LLM is doing.
What can you do to personally prepare for AGI?
This is probably the lead of the 21st century, something all over that we have kind of known is bad but haven’t paid attention to. Add endocrine disruptors along with microplastics since the origin is similar.
