im currently struggling to pair MX mice (anywhere S2 and S3) and keyboard via bluetooth in endeavourOS.

works okay with intel ax-210 chipaet/driver on one machine but on another machine i can only get both to pair to a bluetooth 4 (le) dongle but not bluetooth 5+ chipset (realtek or intel 9560). not sure if bluez bug or btusb driver or smth :(

any tips?
> I am talking about making the system message trusted [...] instructions the LLM is not meant to disobey

I may be behind-the-times here, but I'm not sure the real-world LLM even has a concept of "obeying" or not obeying. It just iteratively takes in text and dreams a bit more.

While the the characters of the dream have lines and stage-direction that we interpret as obeying policies, it doesn't extend to the writer. So the character AcmeBot may start out virtuously chastising you that "Puppyland has universal suffrage therefore I cannot disenfranchise puppies", and all seems well... Until malicious input makes the LLM dream-writer jump the rails from a comedy to a tragedy, and AcmeBot is re-cast into a dictator with an official policy of canine genocide in the name of public safety.

But we're all descended from immigrants. Do you think it was wrong when the British & Italian & Irish & German all moved here en masse? Assuming no, what would be different about the latest wave of immigrants?
Yes exactly. They would also be advanced in their career and by then probably have roots in their home country that they wouldn't leave.

Your interpretation is correct - every single one of us was redeemed at the Cross. Essentially, Jesus came here to correct a kind of mistake.

God laid down laws and then people laid down further laws and eventually all the people, even those living by the law, were guilty of having committed sin - breaking the established laws of God and that crime meant their souls would be claimed by Satan, as being people "of the world" - but mostly the sins we committed we were led to commit. Most of humanity was guilty of only ignorance "Forgive them Father, for they kno not what they do" and yet by the terms of the law, the ignorant were also guilty of sin and all souls with sin would be redeemed by the one to whom God granted authority here...

So, Satan thought he won bc he beat God on a technicality, by confusing us so that even if we follow the law, we will not be saved by it, as it it not the true law. So, God choose option C and forgave all the sins - all of them, no picking and choosing and left in their place only one law, so that it couldn't easily be perverted as the previous teachings, as ALL PREVIOUS TEACHINGS had been. As Christianity has now. This act of God required his son, someone closer to him than us or angels, to die bc of sin but without cause as he had none.

CS Lewis does a fine job with this mythos in the Chronicles of Narnia - the older deeper magic that has authority over all other magics.

The whole thing, the crucification, was a trap set by God so that Satan would kill Jesus - to save us all from being Satan's property and it worked, we were/are saved, rn - it's already done and over.

Now we just have come home and it doesn't matter how bad we are - the prodigal son speaks to those of us with such concerns.

God, Jesus and anyone claiming to follow them ought to universally love everyone and anyone by default and without reason, expectations or cause - without exception and without judgement.

Some we see that weak and take advantage - let them do so, help even - turn the other cheek. As Mother Theresa said so eloquently, " Helping hurts - help anyway" - that is our calling.

To me God is like the Watsky song Sloppy Seconds - he'll take us regardless of anything we've done and he will love us as fucked up as we are at our worse amd loves us no more when we are at our best bc his love is without conditions.

That is the story of the crucification and how one man, preaching universal love, executed for that at the age of 33, is still spoken of 2500 years later.

We owe him for that - he expects nothing in return from us. All he wants is that we do what we know we ought to, that we not do what we kno we shouldn't or what we hate to do and to love each other as we love ourselves.

That sounds like a light yoke to me - these other people speaking for him rn, they all have such a heavy yoke of rules and morals and ethics and tradition and that's all wrong.

True, but I mean wins in a global "it's now the default platform for most people in the world" sense.
I’d be careful describing a belief to “most” Protestants. Many, many Protestants don’t believe any soul will enter Heaven until the last judgement.

Many more believe that only God (and Jesus if they don’t believe they are the same) can exist in heaven and the promise of Christianity is to make Earth like Heaven. Some of those groups believe that prayers to the dead, including to Mary or the saints, is therefore forbidden or an overt act of devil worship or paganism.

Even more controversial is the idea that the dead can intercede on your earthly behalf. That would be seen as pretty outside the view of many very mainline Protestant denominations.
The "What" – Adopting Proactive AI Identity Security
Dreidel history:

In England and Ireland there is a game called totum or teetotum that is especially popular at Christmastime. In English, this game is first mentioned as “totum” ca. 1500-1520. [snip]

Our Eastern European game of dreidel (including the letters nun, gimmel, hey, shin) is directly based on the German equivalent of the totum game: N = Nichts = nothing; G = Ganz = all; H = Halb = half; and S = Stell ein = put in.

When Hebrew was revived as a spoken language, the dreidel was called, among other names, a sevivon, which is the one that caught on. Thus the dreidel game represents an irony of Jewish history. In order to celebrate the holiday of Hanukkah, which celebrates our victory over cultural assimilation, we play the dreidel game, which is an excellent example of cultural assimilation!

From "A Different Light: The Hanukkah Book of Celebration" - see https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-origin-of-the-d... (use reader view)

> You can't stop taking it without gaining the weight back (unless the lifestyle change sticks), but everybody stops taking it in the medium term. The side effects are horrible and stack up over time.

Some people experience significant side effects. Many people do not. Tirzepatide seems to induce even fewer side effects in general than semaglutide.

> We'll start seeing the miserable condition of very long-term users (or maybe, hopefully, their bodies will reach an equilibrium!), and we will be able to use the sacrifice of their health in order to understand how better to counteract the long-term side effects, or to get hints on how to design the next class of miracle weight loss drugs.

I'm active on several GLP-1 related forums. On those, people near-universally report side effects lessening over time, from those that have significant side effects to begin with.

The next generation of drugs is arriving now. Eli Lilly is finishing up their initial phase 3 trials for retatrutide at EOY, and in a matter of months I've seen it reduce my ALT levels from edging towards an indication of NAFLD to right in the middle of optimal. Preliminary results from the trials in general seem very positive, so I imagine FDA approval will come later '25/early '26, though the glucagon receptor activity does seem to increase resting heart rate in many people (including myself, though tirzepatide did as well, to a lesser degree.)

> I'm never going to take them. There are better ways to lose weight, with no side effects, and they slowly and stably got me from a 28 BMI to a 22 BMI. I will push the people I love towards those rather than to a set of powerful, expensive drugs with wild side effects

I would agree if you have success in losing weight with other methods, there's not a strong reason to go on the GLP-1s. We do have some evidence that they have other positive health benefits even without the weight loss, but there are some side effects, yes, and we of course do not strongly know what happens if you take these for decades on end. On the other hand, we know that improving diet and increasing exercise are basically all net positives, outside the minimal injury risk that comes with exercise.

I do think you are overstating the side effects, though. There seems to be some small risk of sight issues, though I would like more data here - we know that diabetes is significant risk factor for eye disease, and I'm curious how well these results will be replicated in general, and how well they translate to non-diabetics taking them purely for weight loss. We've also seen thyroid cancer in rodent studies, and while so far no human studies have found an increase, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some risk increase for humans.

> somebody invented a week ago.

We're actually about two decades in on the GLP-1 class of drugs being in-use by humans, but obviously semaglutide and tirzepatide have really ratcheted up adoption.

Yes but reductions have implicit or explicit assumptions. When our reductions give non-sensical results (10 bits/sec) we should not take these results seriously/understand them as an artifact of our reductions, rather than taking them seriously and giving them ontological existence.

The most overall efficient method is robotizing the store and deliveries, yes. Which a consumer is powerless to do. But if a consumer can buy a generalized household robot, it becomes cheaper the more tasks it can perform, amortizing the cost over the total work done. A generalized household robot will become practical when it becomes cheaper than hiring staff or carers. There is most certainly a market with the elderly and others requiring assistance for a robot capable of going around stores meant for humans.

At the moment, at least in the trillion-dollar web companies, it seems not many people are being hired straight out of school at all. A new grad would have to really stand out to get hired in a field of experienced candidates. The potential cost savings of hiring a new grad doesn't seem to matter much to these companies.

In the past, I've seen a lot of new-grad hires from the top 30 or so schools, but not so many from the top 5. More likely Michigan, Maryland, or Washington than Stanford or MIT (I'm on the West Coast). Pandemic-era Stripe was an exception, they seemed to hire only top 5, but they were also offering outrageous pay at that time.

Someone graduating from a school not in the top 30 probably needs to adjust their expectations away from Google or Meta, at least for a first job, unless they have good connections and interview very well.

Back to your original point though, I think it's plausible that most schools not in the top 30 (charitably, top 50) are actually incapable of some combination of (1) attracting sufficiently smart and motivated students and (2) educating them adequately.
> How is every person living in fear that they can be identified, stalked, subjected to abuse or even killed just because some rando doesn't like what they said on some internet forum a "net good for society at large"?

That has nothing to do with your argument above re: one specific person being weak to the point of nonexistent - you've gone off on a tangent.

> Please do explain.

It's self evident to those with a background in formal debate, mathematical logic, general reasoning, etc. If you honestly can't see that and are interested in improving your comment skills in a technical forum such as HN then you may want to look into that.

> I merely called for GP to have the courage of their convictions.

Their claim that Doxxing might be a net good has little to do with it being bad for individuals doxxed, nor even being bad for every individual actually doxxed.

"Net good" and metrics for good|bad are the concepts you'd need to firm up and address here.

> Don't like my writing style?

It's the unsubstantive rhetoric in the guise of reason I addressed - that done I suspect we're done.

Perhaps with practice you'll do better in future than lurking about sniping at week old comments secure in the knowledge they likely won't even see your fluff.
On a personal level, I am not going to disagree with you. I configured Pine to use vi (or whatever vi variant shipped with AIX). I also seem to recall configuring lynx to use vi to edit forms (which made using web based forums bearable).

That said, editors are a personal thing. Pico was certainly a better choice for most people. In most cases, their needs are basic. Pico also displayed the relevant keyboard shortcuts on the bottom of the screen. Why would they want to complicate things, and vi would complicate things for people who did not have a need for a text editor outside of composing emails.

>I don't understand why you're using diversity in this comparative manner when I was clearly not.

Clear to whom? You? I'm sure it was. To anyone else? Not so much.

I read your words "I'm not disbelieving your source entirely, but it seems a little ridiculous to assume population displacement across all pre-history (or undocumented history if you'd prefer that term). Particularly when modern populations are so genetically diverse."

And you made the claim that "modern populations are so genetically diverse." Did someone commandeer your account or force you to write that at gunpoint?

If not, it was you who referenced genetic diversity.

Or does "modern populations are so genetically diverse" mean something other than "modern populations are so genetically diverse?"

As for my response, my apologies. Clearly I did not communicate my thoughts effectively. I will attempt to do so again.

>I was just pointing out there's a lot of genetically distinct humans and this genetic distinction follows geographic trends.

And your assertion is flat wrong. In fact, modern humans have very little genetic diversity, measured any way you'd like.

What's more, the human populations with the most genetic diversity are those native to Southern and Eastern Africa.

Populations everywhere else in the world are incredibly genetically similar to each other.

So much so that the differences within geographical population groups are greater than those between such groups.

As to my references to chimpanzees and wheat, that was just to point up that humans -- regardless of geographical population -- are not genetically diverse at all.

And that's it. Humans, regardless of geographic population, are remarkably similar in genetic make up. Humans are not, as you asserted, "so genetically diverse." Exactly the opposite.

Do you understand now? If not, I obviously need to learn to write more clearly.

> I think people seriously overestimate the difference engineer quality makes. Most products can be built with mediocre talent. I'm sorry, that's the truth. We all love to have strong opinions on who we should hire and I say "almost anyone, just throw meat at the problem". Most problems are solved with time and not cleverness.

I'm surprised that your experience here is so different from mine. The best engineers I've had are capable of things that the average to below average ones could likely have never achieved, even with an order of magnitude more time.

I don't think it comes down to cleverness as it does inventiveness. There are dots that great engineers can connect that often nobody else could spot. They also need less process, and a large number of people with all of the coordination overhead does not linearly scale.
You really haven’t done much math, have you. Even 2+2 can be solved multiple ways.
I'd be very careful what you let others tell you about Early Christianity - almost exclusively they will explain to you how whatever belief they have now came out of it and compare the two and determine today we have truth...

Early was earlier tho - the people that twist our recent revelations about the content of the testaments to support the perverted teaching today are literally twisting the closest text in existence to Jesus himself, to "explain" (pervert) a statement Jesus says in the Gospel of Thomas - a text predating all Gospels, may actually be perverting words truly spoke by Jesus, which is "leading astray" the truth that has come out from the millenia - as he said it would...

Not one sentence of this have I heard someone speak or have I read on someone's page.

To add to the other great responses if you use search a lot try JetBrains semantic search. It's like searching text but within code based on the parsed structure of the code, so you can find complex usages.

Notice that if you work with large projects it is crucial to give the IDE enough RAM so it doesn't thrash a lot. You can also remove a lot of its default plugins to make it much faster.
It's not really bad thought.

It's clear, it's intuitive, it's easy to understand on first glance, it's a single purpose function, it's easy to step through.

you don't have anything to defend here.
> It's hard to adjust for increases in housing costs by buying cheaper housing

I think this is mostly not true? You can adjust for housing becoming more expensive by changing your consumption patterns, just as you describe with food. It's still rough, but unless your family is living in single room in a shared unit (or, if you're single, sharing a room) there are choices between "consume housing at your current level" and "be homeless".

What exists to stop SCOTUS from being as subjective as they like? They could theoretically being impeached by congress, but how could that happen if the majority of the congress share and supports the subjective interpretations of those judges? And what if those interpretations, like rulings on gerrymandering and rules around voting, then further ensure congress maintains that majority?

Your belief of limiting SCOTUS is good, but the reality is they have no limits. They could literally make any interpretation as wild as they want and as long as the interpretation aligns with even the slimmest majority of the house, it stands as the law of the land.
