Author made an argument to why does everybody do A and I said everybody doing A doesn’t mean shit and I used religion as an illustration on how everybody doing A doesn’t mean shit.

> If the author is only missing something, then it still makes sense for the majority to learn the things he is saying, at least, as explained by your parent.

Sure but from my pov he’s teaching mathematics while skipping over algebra or addition. We can all agree that something huge is missing if you don’t learn algebra or addition.

> Finally, if anything can be compared to religion, it surely is the evangelism of functional programming zealots.

I don’t deny it. Nobody can really prove their viewpoint to be true. Even the atheist is a zealot. The only way to not be a zealot is to be a zealot about being unsure of everything. But then that makes you a zealot. People insinutated a lot of things because I used religion as an analogy.

The ONLY point I was trying to make is that a majority or large group of people believing in or doing plan A doesn't mean shit for plan A.
It's super cool, but I'm not sure immediately comprehensible. I can't even read my own Haskell code after a few months away from it. You end up using other people's infix operators from the libraries and it's easy to forget what they are.
I had a hard time finding people to chat with and resorting to Reddit or Google searches containing year old content. I'm not an influencer, so any social media I post didn't get any replies really, not even comments. This is for people who want to just chat about something, or vent, or even react to the latest episode of their favorite TV show while they watch it at the same time!
* drone tech will heat up and find its "moment."

* Bitcoin will continue to increase in price and decrease in usability.

* Quantum will continue to improve and start to raise eyebrows in niche circles and paper headlines, leading to adoption in small parts of major tech companies.

* Markets will hit a record high by end of year.

* ADHD medications will also hit a record high.

* More people will opt out social media like they opt of out of "GMO" food and use it to virtue-signal.

* Tech hiring will continue to decrease and get tougher to find entry-level SWE jobs, leading to an uptick in other majors. Being an SWE will never be as cool again as it was in the 2010s.

* Is anyone still talking about climate change action goals?

* Starship will go orbital, Blue origin will go suborbital, Boeing will hit the ground.

* More laws regulating internet and social media use. Enforcement will be fuzzy and laughable at first but will become increasingly serious over time.
Awesome now they can get me wrong answers even quicker :)
I’m not sure why you think tens of millions of Americans do not support Hitler in some way.

Kanye seems to like him.

Trump has said positive things about him.

There are more white supremacists around than you might think.
No, Recovery fellowship. Similar.

Churches provide many of the same benefits. For most of my friends that attend churches, the congregation is more important to them, than the pastor.
If you misrepresent that you are authorized by the company making the takedown request, that's literally the only thing that the DMCA considers to be perjury.

So weirdly enough:

* Not owning the copyrighted work and claiming you own it = Okay

* The work you're taking down not even being the claimed copyrighted work = Okay

* Saying you're authorized by the company to file the notice, and you're not = PERJURY
Now I wonder what he'd look like without the moustache :)
What do you think, if we saw it, would constitute hard evidence of logical thinking or a sense of truth?
Religions claim to be the absolute truth of reality. Thus since all religions have details that are conflicting and opposing if one is true all the others are false.
Huh? Why Brexit? Why would someone be upset with the British when they left the EU? Maybe one asks why, but angry or resentful? :))
> In a post back in October, I wrote that America’s future could hinge on whether Elon Musk decides to play the superhero or the supervillain

No, it's more simple. Oligarchs have more in common with each other than any of them have with you. They are the big people and you are the little people, they are the lords and you are the peasants, they are the patrons and you are the clients.

It's why they have dinner together and they don't invite you:

Musk pledged his commitment to China's core socialist values:

https://www.mediaite.com/news/elon-musk-signs-letter-pledgin...

Musk is keen on criticizing many governments, domestic and foreign. But has Musk ever criticized the Chinese government? Even once?

> So who or what could balance out Elon’s power?

One way you can do it is to stop giving him money. Tesla sales aren't going well in Europe this year:

Dark Castle here. DIKU based MUD. Ah the good stuff.
US enters recession in Q1 2025. There's no "soft landing". The correlation between federal interest rate cuts and recessions perfectly predicts this.
The examples to make your point are kind of silly. It can go to extreme, but clearly there is benefit in regulating and requiring interoperability in many cases. It doesn't mean innovation is going to go away.
Explained in the first and second paragraphs of the README:

> Multi-tenancy allows one server to be safely shared among many users, each of which cannot access each others or negatively affect the HTTP service.

> Specialized sandboxes are instantiated for each request and immediately destroyed after the request, all within a single microsecond.
This won’t apply when quantity demanded is fixed. Fast food restaurants need a certain quantity of labor hours to function, and they probably already push right down to the limit to save money.
I’m in the middle of Hamburg but ironically in a completely dead spot with nothing going on nearby and surrounded by light industrial parks. I wouldn’t mind improving my guitar skills and finding a jam, even a ukulele jam, but Google searches went nowhere. I don’t have a job, and it’s not looking good either, plus I’m focusing on launching something in the UK, but doesn’t help with severe loneliness here. Thanks for the pointers, will do some more searching for these things.

Whatever happened to Unikernels?
Lawmakers need campaign money and shakedowns are profitable.
I mean the original sourcing (404 media) is not without reputation and you'd hope they're trying to do some basic checking, but there's probably also a reason they say "an entity claiming to be United Healthcare Inc" at this point.

That said, I'd argue even if these are falsified reports (I don't personally have a strong opinion on this - I could see this going either way) it seems very much of interest to this community.

It's also interesting - it doesn't seem like there can be copyright on security camera footage (just like there isn't/shouldn't be on AI output) so even if the claim were brought by a different party it seems questionable.
I’m quite ignorant of JS development with Node. This package really interests me so I followed the tutorial. On the second step, I used npm to install boardgame.io which triggered a barrage of error messages related to deprecated packages and 69 vulnerabilities. I ran npm audit and it displayed numerous high severity. I tried the npm audit —force which broke boardgame.io I don’t plan on trying to fix these problems so does it mean that I shouldn’t try boardgame.io?
Congress claims this is what we the people want.
Seems like someone figured out that the platform has become toxic and the ad buyers are unlikely to come back.
Use the imperative mood in code reviews
There's also a long history of people abusing the fact that DMCA notices essentially require the provider to not verify anything—filing fake reports for various motivations that can't be readily traced.

Given that both have a history here, the big question is who benefits. I can think of a very likely motive for an internet vigilante to try to smear United Healthcare by making them look even worse. I can't think of a great motive for United Healthcare to try (and completely predictably fail) to suppress the story.
That's wild. So they just take the affiliate commission for everything when installed?

A lot of people purchase things through affiliate links to knowingly support the affiliate.. But if they have Honey installed it just "steals" the referral..
This seems great but wouldn’t this just create a moat to becoming a DMA gatekeeper and entrench the current players?
This.

Plus bidding on spot-instances used to be far less gamed so if you had infrequent batch jobs (just an extreme version of low-duty-cycle loading), there was nothing cheaper and easier.

I've been out of that "game" for a bit, but Google Compute used to have the cheapest bulk-compute instance pricing if all you needed was a big burst of CPU.

It's all changed if you're running ML workloads though.
> The thing that EU regulators don't seem to get is that I (and many others) have knowingly and intentionally opted in to this walled garden.

The walled garden shouldn't be forced on everyone who buys a device. Having an opt out is not unreasonable.

> Apple will need to dedicate engineering resources to interoperability

Actually, I think they put more effort into not being interoperable, so feature development should increase.
There's at least 4 major releases just in GPT4.

> Are Cuba or Haiti part of North America

In general yes, but it depends on if you consider central america as its own continent and if you include them there and how you delineate north/south america. Groupings differ based on your education.

I think the thing that makes the UK different is that there is no other option besides them being a separate thing/continent. Are you suggesting that the UK is it's own continent? Would that be with the faroese and the Greenlanders?

The UK might feel different, but they are not separate. The french feel different from the bulgarians, but that does not mean they are on a separate continent, politically or geographically.

EDIT:

> A lot of British people feel like their civilization is meaningfully distinct

This is, to borrow a word, "balderdash". Looking at the influence vikings, romans and normans have had that is a rubbish argument. Just like other countries in europe the british culture is built on the stones of other cultures, and just like many other countries they subsumed other cultures because of kings or other political dominance.
The same people propup the current genocide taking place in Palestine and the war in Ukraine. Their goal is neverending war with neverending profit at the expense of local populations.
Don't invest in amoral enterprises.
> But this is so obviously someone falsifying these reports—to be a troll or to make United Healthcare look bad or whatever

It is entirely believable that UHC is working with some crisis management firm to try to manage public perception, and that part of their strategy is to try to get media portraying Mangione positively taken off the internet, whether or not they have legal grounds to do so.

There have been so many past stories about companies using illegitimate DMCA claims that I'm surprised you consider it obviously not UHC or someone working with them. It is possible, but I don't think it's a forgone conclusion.
At the lowest end of the industry it’s common to get free consultations because it’s too much expense for individuals otherwise, but in corporate law or higher end services I believe it’s much less common.
The delta-V for orbit is a precisely defined point. How you get there is not.

The discussion from 13 days ago is only about Andruil and Palantir.

Personal responsibility, not legal liability. In the way a child can be responsible for a pet.

Chatgpt was trained on benchmarks and user opinions - "throwing **** at the wall to see what sticks".

Responsibility means penalties for making mistakes, and, more importantly, having an awareness of those penalties (that informs its decision-making).
The issue is probably the same as with COM. COM introduced versioned “packages,” inside of the library, but that meant that library providers needed to package up multiple versions, as part of their CD system.

In practice, a lot of orgs just stopped including deprecated versions.
La Niña have high odds to last very few months. Global climate will continue its accelerated destabilization trend, with not so low odds of something impacting badly some first world countries. But just breaking even more records will do enough damage.

And that will put extra pressure on an already unstable global politics scenario. What will follow may tell us in which flavor of dystopia we are in, either denialism and escapism keeping business as usual, or "emergency measures" with some sectors grabbing even more power.
Brew winds up hogging an inappropriate amount of disk space on every system I’ve ever installed it on. I switched to nix recently and haven’t had that problem yet.

My father advised me never to get married. But then he got married for a third time. This one lasted to the end, but she’s a horrible person and definitely contributed to his earlier than necessary death when she didn’t tell anyone he’d fallen. Broken hip. He was soon gone. Fuck her.

I had an unpleasant evening with my partner last month when I told her that I’ll never marry (we live together). After the hell that my father’s third wife made things for his family trying to get him care at the end, it’s just not attractive to me. Living together is enough.
This is similar to what has worked for us for Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), which used to be known as Multiple Personality Disorder. Due to trauma in our past, we've split into multiple identities living in the same body. For many years I tried to deny this and shove the other parts of me deep down and kill them internally. They tried to kill us externally.

Ultimately we both failed at that and are learning how to work better together. We had to accept that our plurality is our reality. We talk together, each get different times when we can control the body, and negotiate on what choices we're going to make. We have different names, personalities, likes, dislikes, and desires. Though this is something we hide to most of the world, we have let the people closest to us know, and they have started to get to know each of us personally.

There's enormous value in accepting who you are and focusing on how to live positively with that instead of repeatedly trying to ram yourself into a box that's "normal" and expecting that to be healthy.
the only potential gatekeeping ive noticed in mathematics is (some) teachers that arent really teaching but more just showing off what they know. its a waste of everyone's time. i say potential because im sure its not always the teachers' fault, its likely just me being dumb.
it would probably make the most sense to threaten them to throw the game vs. the spread

or pay them

that will happen for sure, if it already hasn't
I'm in the same boat as the person you're responding to. I really don't understand how to get anything helpful out of ChatGPT, or more than anything basic out of Claude.

> I've found that if you treat it more like a colleague, it works wonderfully.
This is what I've been trying to do. I don't use LLM code completion tools. I'll ask anything from how to do something "basicish" with html & css, and it'll always output something that doesn't work as expected. Question it and I'll get into a loop of the same response code, regardless of how I explain that it isn't correct.

On the other end of the scale, I'll ask about an architectural or design decision. I'll often get a response that is in the realm of what I'd expect. When drilling down and asking specifics however, the responses really start to fall apart. I inevitably end up in the loop of asking if an alternative is [more performant/best practice/the language idiomatic way] and getting the "Sorry, you're correct" response. The longer I stay in that loop, the more it contradicts itself, and the less cohesive the answers get.

I _wish_ I could get the results from LLMs that so many people seem to. It just doesn't happen for me.
because it's "for hackers"!
It's really not like that at all. If it was, I expect after 25 years of growth FastMail would probably have noticed. Much of what you're describing assumes a poorly run company that isn't able to make good choices -- if you have such a mix of odd hardware os OSes then that's pretty bad sign.

Prioritise simplicity.

For remote hands, 2 kinds is sufficient: IP KVM, and an actual person walking over to your machine. Can't say I've had an AWS person talk to me on a cell phone whilst standing at my server to help me sort out an issue.

It's actually really fun, and saving 90% what can be your largest cost can actually be a fundamental driver of startup success. You can undercut the competition on price and offer stuff that's just not available otherwise.

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.
Insurance companies have low profit margins, 2% to 3% in most cases.

UNH is worth more than 5x its nearest insurance competitor (Elevance) because of its large healthcare provider arm, not because of its insurance business.

Otherwise, they are all sub $100B businesses, which indicate not a lot of juice to squeeze.
LLMs are a key piece of understanding that token sequences can trigger actions in the real world. AGI is here. You can trivially spin up a computer using agent to self improve itself to being a competent office worker
then you are not a hacker at heart :)

Usually a couple Brits can't behave themselves at larger events (Oktoberfest, Euros) and make it into the news cycle - commonly paired with a backhanded comment like "The British underestimated the potency of German beer yet again".

There's also a large rivalry in soccer and balconing; combined with history and Brexit it really isn't a mystery.
Isnt this tech 20 years old at this point?
Many on the internet are currently in the middle of celebrating the vigilante who murdered their CEO. I find it to be far more likely that one of those people decided to fan the flames and play vigilante than that someone in their PR team got it into their heads that trying to suppress images of the murderer-hero of the year would do any good.
It's wild to see a Steam Deck controlling robotic weaponry.
From what I understand from my European friends is that English vacationers have a bad reputation for getting belligerently drunk when on "holiday" that dates back many years.
You know, I don't agree with you, but if you equate the mainstream-ness of people who approve of what the CEO killer did with those of Hitler supports, the dot product of our takes here will be strongly positive, and there's no need for us to hash this out.
> I was just commenting on the fact that in the UK, ‘Europe’ generally means ‘continental Europe’.

It really depends on who you're speaking to.
Is ‘creative expression’ somehow defined? I could creatively express myself by wiring up a camera and filming a public place, no?

Edit: I do think it would be good taste to censor death/murder footage in some cases such as this, I’ve not thought about it a tonne because I assume there’s a legitimate public interest case in some scenarios (political oppression footage, etc)
You're describing stuff the colo provider does. I have no plans to describe how to setup a colo provider. I've never done that, and haven't seen the need. The cost of colo is not that significant.
Interesting. So they're not even training on NVIDIA Blackwell yet.
I should note that aggressively calling something dumb over and over again does not actually make it dumb.
It makes me extremely happy. My country will copy whatever the EU does, shouldn't take long before I can enjoy the same benefits as a consumer. And nobody really cares if the trillion dollar corporation is unhappy about it.
I once tried installing AMD ROCM to run a small llm on a consumer-grade AMD GPU. It was the most horrible software install experience I ever had. Never did manage to get it working.
I've reached some mechanical sympathy with it, I think.

You get some intuition for which methods to use, many structs have a pretty breadthy pallet, and then you can mostly just ignore it; quickly write your algorithm and let the compiler walk you through any oversights with the way you may have coded processing tasks.

Also helps to know that the docs support search by type signature since functions operate on or return owned, borrowed, or mutably borrowed, and generally just think of borrowed as a pointer for heuristic reasons.

It makes more sense than I do, usually.
> Here’s the idea: keys are split across a decentralized network (our Cybersecurity Fabric) so no one ever holds the full key. Even in a breach or F$%k up, there’s no unchecked authority exposed.

What key is this? I'm familiar with Keycloak but I don't fully understand how this works.
I wonder if using AI to turn images and video into a less realistic style before going to the moderators, while preserving the image content will work to reduce trauma as it creates an artificial barrier from seeing human torture. We used to watch cartoons as kids with people being blown to pieces.

My friend who's been in psychosis for a year and a half now, and may have schizophrenia (we can't get her to see any doctors), was doing a lot of "microdosing" mushrooms, acid, ecstasy, and plenty of macrodosing too. I think there's a very likely chance this contributed to her falling into psychosis (along with menopause and the stress/idleness of losing her job).
No it's not. ChatGPT is stronger than ever. WSJ is too pessimistic.
It’s not that crazy when you consider that someone might be wrong about whether their work is even copyrightable, but they can’t realistically be mistaken about whether they are acting as someone’s authorized agent. That’s the kind of relationship that lawyers know very well how to make explicit.

I really do want to encourage you to dig into what Ansar Allah is about, their history, and their implications for Yemen. Clearly, they're situated in the middle of multiple conflicts between other odious governments (including the deeply corrupt previous government of Yemen). But even given that, the Houthis manage to stand out. It's a whole interesting phenomenon that gets into the history of Zaydi Islam and caste system politics.

If you find any credible, detailed, reported source that concludes they are in any way praiseworthy, I'd be sincerely appreciative if you pointed me towards it.
