It seems that those ideas are mainly optimizing for making sure that the group of people in positions of authority will be diffuse, flexible, open, and temporary, or what she calls "democratic structuring" in the essay.

If one wants a default, well-tested structure, hierarchy seems to be a good candidate[1]. Another idea is to optimize for viability, meaning the ability to adapt to and survive changes in the environment, described by the Viable System Model[2].

I wonder if there are studies on the different ways of structuring and their goals and tradeoffs.

Is that why they never prosecuted the attempted murder? It sounds like entrapment.

That's the point people don't seem to be getting about anonymous reviews- if the review is more costly than the value it provides the seller, they won't do it, and it's fairly easy to make that the case. A separate enthusiast forum where the reviews are from people with a long history of high effort engagement is a good example of that. That's basically the idea behind crypto as well- making false transactions is more expensive than the value it could return.

It's inappropriate to usurp the language of cyberattacks just to denigrate certain traffic. It might be true that this category of traffic is too voluminous to handle at their current capability, resulting in bad service.

However cyberattacks, especially distributed ones, require intentionality and they require coordination.
The issue is assuming that your dogma of organization building is correct and that it absolves you from actually resolving inevitable issues between people and between people and the organization.

If you don't take on this assumption I think it will go smoother than if you're relying on structure or lack of structure to save you from actually taking on each issue (where each issue will, each time, have their own sets of tricky, subtle and thorny trade-offs).....
Life lessons from the first half-century of my career
Twitter is bleeding money in part because the owner refused to play ball with advertisers moderation demands, and the majority who don't see any downtime on twitter consider it more than "stable and functional".

And for the owner, who probably thinks he's co-piloting the strongest government in the world right now and attributes part of that success to the platform he controls, it is functioning magnificently.

..and that is all that matters to him.
Is it really decentralised? What server can I sign up to? Apart from bsky.app or am I overlooking something?
> acknowledged the mistake, but said there was never any real threat to the security of its operations.

Doesn't behavior like this mean that security researchers are more likely to intrude further next time -- at this company and others -- to gather more evidence of impact, expecting the company to lie about it otherwise?

If you want some corporate spokesperson to be able to say "nothing to see here", shouldn't you reward the researcher amply enough that they're fine with the impact being downplayed?

Then kinda going after the researcher in trying to suppress the news, after (AFAICT) the researcher already did the right thing... Does the credit card company have a reason to do that? Or is it more likely some misguided PR staff thinking that's their job? Or some exec ultimately responsible for the infosec mistake, personally not wanting that embarrassment on their watch, and using company resources to try to suppress news of it?
We are completely in agreement. I'm in that younger generation, as well; I know.
Zoos are a lesser evil argument, locally they are not the best for the animals but they provide globally long-term benefits for humans and nature as well.
Oh interesting, so is this for separating out metrics for your main part of your run versus warmup? I guess I don't intentionally warmup so I've never thought to need that, but I can see that being useful for people that are more professional where seconds on your pace count. I tend to just look at the splits in WorkOutDoors and see "ok yeah I ran the first km at 5' and the last at 4'23", I should try to bring the middle kms down a bit next time".

Totally agree about housing costs. After 10 years of paying high rent in the UK I've returned to Dublin.

Currently paying €1,300 per month for a tiny studio. (I'm told I'm lucky) So hard to build up savings.

The average price for a home in Dublin is now €600,000 according to our central statistics office. Unbelievable.

(The average annual salary in Ireland is €50,000)
Made me think what Mark Andreeson said in a recent interview.

> They said, look, AI is a technology basically, that the government is gonna completely control. This is not gonna be a startup thing. They, they actually said flat out to us, don't do AI startups like, don't fund AI startups. It's not something that we're gonna allow to happen. They're not gonna be allowed to exist. There's no point.

> They basically said AI is gonna be a game of two or three big companies working closely with the government. And we're gonna basically wrap them in a, you know, they, I'm paraphrasing, but we're gonna basically wrap them in a government cocoon. We're gonna protect them from competition, we're gonna control them, we're gonna dictate what they do.

>And then I said, I don't understand how you're gonna lock this down so much because like the math for you, AI is like out there and it's being taught everywhere. And you know, they literally said, well, you know, during the Cold War we, we classified entire areas of physics and took them out of the research community and like entire branches of physics basically went dark and didn't proceed. And that if we decide we need to, we're gonna do the same thing to to the math underneath ai.

> And I said, I've just learned two very important things. 'cause I wasn't aware of the former and I wasn't aware that you were, you know, even conceiving of doing it to the latter. And so they basically just said, yeah, we're gonna look, we're gonna take total control the entire thing and just don't start startups.

If this is true, makes sense for OpenAI and other to ramp up lobbying to be one of the two or three big companies. In another subsequent interivew Altman denied he was ever in such a meeting.

> What a lot of people are overlooking is that there were two separate indictments in two separate courts with two separate prosecution teams.

They're not overlooking this, they're criticizing it.

Suppose you have to prove that someone occupied "a position of organizer, a supervisory position, or any other position of management" so you introduce several pieces of evidence to try to prove it, one of them is some sketchy murder for hire allegations from a low-credibility source. The jury then convicts on the conspiracy charge without indicating whether they believed the murder for hire claim was proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Should you now use the murder for hire claim to determine sentencing for the conspiracy charge? No, that's crazy, it's a much more serious crime and they should have to charge and prove that as a separate count if they want it to affect the penalty.
Hey thanks a ton for checking out GopherSignal! From the feedback I’m getting, it seems like comments and upvotes are the secret sauce I’ve been missing—appreciate you helping me get that through my thick skull lol. The pressure’s on now—I’ll do my best to deliver.

I think they were dismissed with prejudice, which if true, is a “no”. That said, all prior charges and attempts were federal charges, and nothing in a pardon or federal dismissal prevents an individual state from bringing charges, IIRC. Would be a heavy lift though without cooperation from feds to turn over investigation materials.
I’m an American who was definitely raised in a “China Bad” world.

The last few months, between TikTok ban, RedNote, elections, United Healthcare CEO, etc I’ve seen so many people compare the US to China, and favor China. Which is of course crazy because China has things like forced labor and concentration camps of religious minorities, and far worse oppression than the US. But many people just view everything coming out of the US Gov’s mouth as bad.

Is the Chinese government worse than the US government? Probably. Do people universally think that still? Not really. The US Gov will have to contend with the reality that people -even citizens- are starting to view them and not their “enemy” as the “Bad Guys”.
Does it handle themes, plugins, etc., as well? Thx.
I think about this all the time. I have tried a few different strats:

* ScreenZen on IOS breaks up screen time into discrete sections rather than a lump sum (e.g. 10 segments of 10 minutes each) making it much easier to know each time I've used a segment ("okay, that was ten minutes, do I want to go again?").

* Utilizing focus modes aggressively. DND and Sleep mode can be used aggressively to limit notification spam. While I'm at it I regularly go through my notification list and prune any app that has no pressing need to notify (or demote it to the daily summary).

* physical separation: my friend put me on to this, which is if I can do something without my phone, I'll consider it. Yesterday I drove to the store and back without my phone. Not feeling that weight in your pocket and not having it there to fill your time is a powerful experience. I have considered paying the Apple Watch cell subscription (which I always considered useless) because it means I will be reachable without being scrollable.

* I'm going to try that Foqos app posted here yesterday, I like the idea of physical blocking mechanisms so we can take the upgrades of phones, like GPS and chatGPT while leaving the poisonous bits at home.

This is one of the y biggest personal initiatives ever since I took my screen time stats and calculated I was losing about a day a week to my phone. My life is getting 14% shorter, given to trash I don't really enjoy.

Coinbase is a centralized old fashioned listed company that (even though they dislike it) has to follow the laws applicable to it.

They do KYC and maybe even a bit of token AML and CTF. Then you can exchange fiat into crypto, send it to an unhosted (=self-hosted) wallet, and then do with the crypto as you wish without following any rules whatsoever, by design.

Furthermore, there are many less regulated parts of the cryptocurrency ecosystem that do not even abide by that modicum of regulation.

Look, any bank could trivially replicate 100% of the functionality of a cryptocurrency, or a stable coin, with a good old-fashioned database (even a distributed database, so you have all the frequently cited benefits of decentralization - nearly all). And then they'd be shut down, because they'd be in violation of all sorts of laws and enabling all sorts of crimes. (This is not a hypothetical: see what happened to Liberty Reserve, e-gold, and others that had this glorious idea prior to crypto. They were all swiftly shut down.)

So, while the entire ecosystem might not initially have set out to break sanctions and launder money and subvert other rules, that is the use case which the technology enables compared to pre-Nakamoto technology.
There are already legal remedies in place. This isnt a technical problem. We cant advocate for three or four behemoths gatekeeping whitelists they're willing to peer with. Which is how spam is currently controlled.
graft but also overutilization/misallocation, ie. we will publicly spend massive portions of our GDP treating old people who are slowly dying but little on younger people who have some crippling illness, mostly because older people vote and triage is an uncomfortable concept to people
> disputed by the guy who has a business interest in making sure his competition can't do as well

This is a valid conflict of interest. That means we should closely scrutinize his claims. From what I can tell, he's added up correctly in respect of the named backers' wealth and liquidity.

> a paper that is literally named after a place where the vast majority of people have never had to do any real labor in their lives

Yes, we should ignore bankers when it comes to questions about money...

Do you have an actual claim? Or is it all ad hominem?

> capital they raise is usually derived from the labor of others and they operate a racket to prevent any real competition for how that capital is distributed by the labor or the customers who are the source of their actual wealth

They're capitalists, herego they can raise unlimited wealth?
Speaking of jokes, it's always funny to us libertarians when we see government proponents talk about "freedom" being lost to the corporations under a libertarian system of (non) government.

The government as it is the world over pretty much controls your entire life; It dictates what you can and can't do with your own body, it forces you into various forms of indentured servitude, it marks you and keeps track of you like an inventory item, it controls what you can say (where and with whom even), it takes your children from you and puts them into essentially indoctrination camps for "education", it comes up with arbitrary rules that you have to jump through hoops to abide by, and it can even take your children away if you don't teach them the approved things, it can take arbitrary control over any and all of your possessions for whatever reason, it orders you to harm your fellow man, etc... And most of all, it gaslights and forces you to go against your own morals or things you consider wrong, whatever that may be. And just to rub it all in? It says you have to do and abide by all these things whilst still loving government because it's "Democracy" and "Democracy" is pure and noble and fair.
Good. But I do wonder why we're flooded with "services" like that when a simple open-source Python script could do this. $150 FFS. I hope you have clients but the open-source dev inside me is dying a bit.

This is exactly the same thought I had.

With so much talk about regulation and talk of complete control of the technology by govt, it would be very foolish for them not to be spending a lot of time and money trying to influence policy on it.
> Your initial comment in this thread accused me of lying

wat.

> have found zero instances of you admitting you were wrong about anything

I was wrong about you. Certainly you're a commenter extraordinaire. I didn't think that earlier. There's your one instance :)

I don't need to admit I'm wrong if I wasn't actually, you know, wrong.

I still wouldn't want to talk to you though.
Yes, they can. Anyone can sue anyone else for any reason.

It will be a colossal waste of everyone's time and money, though, because they will never prevail.
Yes, usually people at the top extract the cash. Like Bernie Madoff just spent the money for his enjoyment. In this case the money goes to people building the data centers, providing resources and the engineers at OpenAI who are actually working for the money.
Yeah those guys are so good at security. You can tell because the tools and plans of theirs that keep leaking sound great!

People pay to have their problems solved, not code (although code is one of the ways to solve some problems!). If you made such a service for free, that's great! It's helpful, it scratches an itch to build you have, it is a net positive to put it into the world. Importantly, non technical people want their hand held and usually, are willing to pay for it. Something to consider. There is room for both solutions and code, based on bucketing of use cases and personas.

Good thing too, because some of their decisions over the years have been really doozy (who wants to be bound by Dred Scott v. Sandford?)
Actually life was pretty good for Romanians during the "Golden Age" compared to the rest of the communist period. The problem was that we lived on credit just like Americans and when it came time to pay it, things started falling off. Ceaușescu didn't invest wisely the money from the IMF, so he started exploiting everything and everyone to the max until the debt was paid off. Just a few months afterwards the Revolution happened and he was trialed and sentenced to death.

> most of whom care little about minutiae in protestant christian canon

Muslim and Christian scripture overlap by a large amount, it's not that they care about Christian canon, it's that they study the same books. Muslims have the stereotype that they are much more "serious" about their religion than Christians. It's not a negative thing.
> The only way to (sometimes) get big companies to fix their mistakes (besides the legal system) is to shame them into it.

in the golden years of twitter the quickest way to get proper support from companies was to talk shit about their services on twitter.

i was always amazed by how quick i could get in touch with an actual human being using that strategy.

this remind me of some other borderline unethical techniques i read online...

basically when dealing some kind of problems with non-IT infrastructure, if you cannot get "support" to acknowledge issues then you change your strategy and write to the lawyers from the company or public entity managing that piece of infrastructure and inform them of the legal liability deriving from the issue that you noticed.

once that is done, if ANYTHING happens, they cannot deny knowledge of the issue.

they will involve whoever is needed, internally, to get the issue fixed.

so yeah... basically often times to get technical issues fixed you're better off resorting to a human (rather than technical) approach.
You used to see this argument come up frequently in defense of smartphones, but it's fallen off recently. In my personal experience, scrolling through short-form videos is 100x more soul sucking than reading a book, magazine, or newspaper ever is. They're just not the same.

I've run into a similar problem many times at small companies. Effectively rejecting the idea of structure because of slippery-slope arguments. I've had pretty senior folks make comments like "If we require PR reviews on every little change, we'll be just like <pick an unpopular large tech company> and take forever to do anything."
I feel like this needs a different format, but I'm not sure what. At the very least, I need to be able to sort by "Origin" but I think a tree view might be even better, keyed on origin... or some kind of branching structure anyway.
Wealth is the preponderance of resources.

If you have more wealth, you can theoretically purchase more goods and services than if you had less.

The exception to this, of course, is if the goods and services cost more, and for things that you need to exist in American society (healthcare, education, transportation, housing, food), those things generally cost several times more for younger people than they did, "age-adjusted", when their parents were the same age, often with a difference that is more than that in wealth. That's why wages have been flat.

There's also the question of how that wealth is distributed among the generations and how it's stored. If the property-owning Millennial owns a few rental properties that their peers have to pay to live in, the "average" properties owned by the group can be the same (or even higher) but the number of people those properties are spread among is lower.

There's also the fact that lots of wealth is held in the casin... er... stock markets as people need to participate in those markets with their 401(k)s to be able to retire some day. You can't sleep in a stock certificate, but if you want to have any savings, it's easier to enter the equities market than it is to get into real estate from a startup cost perspective. People are having to compromise the "stability" of their fundamental needs (like housing) in order to grow more abstract definitions of wealth.
