Both domain and non-domain, or 3rd party, based verifiers have a trust relationship, which can be undermined by breaking the expectations. Musk Social certainly did this when they made it pay-to-play and removed the blue check on well known accounts the overlord became displeased with.

ATProto specifically advises against shortening domains into some "human readable" format. For example, @foo.bar.com and @foo.baz.com could easily look the same. The full path is unique. What Bluesky provides is a "display name" in addition to your handle. Multiple people can have the same display name, but it always appears next to the full handle

Arguing for individual humans to have freedom of speech to express their views is one thing, arguing for mega-corporations (look at the valuation estimates for Tiktok) to have freedom of speech for profit is quite another.
My understanding from the article and the general theory of Superorganisms is that it’s not exactly true that “dying when stinging confers fitness”. Rather, dying when stinging is just not a huge penalty when you’re talking about non-reproducing members of a colony. So, while it may be a good thing for bees to evolve the ability to survive stinging, the selective pressure is not as large as one might intuitively expect.

Maybe a better title for the post would be something like, “Isn’t it weird that bees die when they sting? Shouldn’t they have evolved away from that?”
I'd do that, but my DNS is via route 53. Blocking AWS would block my ability to manage DNS automatically as well as certificate issuance via DNS-01.
You're describing inconsistencies in the lore, not the ideology. Such inconsistencies in the lore can rise to inconsistencies in the ideology when part or all of the lore itself is held to be inerrant as part of the ideology, but this is not necessarily the case.

The classic (and hardly the only) inconsistency in the ideology in Christianity is the lex talionis of Exodus 21 and Jesus' repudiation of it in the Sermon on the Mount.

How is it circular to argue why one species would do better in an environment than another based on phenotype and the physical interactions it enables? It’s all relative to other species. As long as you understand that, there is no logical fallacy. I do very much appreciate the focus on informal logic though.
For some people yes.

>Atlas Shrugged should be read the same way as Mein Kampf should be read.

my thinking is pretty close. For me Atlas Shrugged is the processing of the Ayn Rand's own PTSD resulting from coming of age during Russian Revolution and the following civil war with the bolsheviks coming into full power as a result. Add to that the shock of immigration immediately after that into completely different country/society (and I see similar to Ayn Rand's thinking in many USSR/Russian immigrants, at least in their first 10-20 years here) And so it is boring like a psychologist patient's notes would be.

Bee's are a product of many millions of years of evolution, so the why, is that it works!
Ever watch bees?, bugs?, other things, up close and in the danger zone? I do. A bee's stinger will embed in you, or me, and then the venom sack rips right out of the bee and it is possible to watch the venom sack pump venom without the bee

> They’ll order your food and find the best deals on shopping, swipe your dating profile, negotiate with your lenders, and generally anticipate your every want or need.

Why should they do so?

I mean seriously.

There is more money to make in telling you that the AI will buy you the beast deal but instead buy premeditated (i.e. bought) "okay" looking deals instead.

Similar dating apps and the related ecosystems has a long history of scamy behavior in all kind of ways as they want to keep you using the app. And people with money have always found ways to highlight themself more. I.e. there is more money to make in "swiping for you" in way which looks on the surface honest but isn't.

etc. etc.

There is basically always more money to make in systematically deceiving people as long as you do it well enough so that people don't notice, or they don't have a real/realistic choice, i.e. are forced by the circumstances.

So the moment you take the human and human conscience/moral out of the loop and also have no transparency there is a 0% of this ending well if regulators don't preclude abuse. And AI is pretty effective at removing transparency and the humanity out of the loop. With how things currently look, especially in the US, they (edit: they==regulators) are more likely to do the opposite (edit: i.e. remove consumer protections).
What do you mean by "barely" respecting robots.txt? Wouldn't that be more binary? Are they respecting some directives and ignoring others?
> Lower stomach acid PH means the LES doesn’t close properly

I don't think that's correct. Lower stomach acid pH makes the LES close more tightly, with a max around pH==3.
I've ridden bikes for transportation in a handful of regions in the US. It is essentially always bad, it's just a matter of some people being able to look past or tolerate the awfulness.

Yes, some people are okay sharing a lane with cars, or using a strip of paint for protection, but accepting a poor status quo doesn't stop the status quo from being poor.

Occasionally there's a route that's legitimately good, almost always due to having an off street trail you can use for the bulk of the commute. Those can be great.

But once you hit bike lanes in an urban area, it's virtually always terrible. A lot of Americans are just used to the terribleness and don't notice it anymore, the same way they don't notice how almost every neighborhood is designed to be unwalkable (and how most are designed to be economically segregated besides).
A difference in potential between grounds in industrial settings is also really common. Especially if one plugs two different pieces of equipment into two different branches of the building's circuit, without knowing it, and then connects those devices with something like ethernet. With 20m+ cables, it happens. :) You'll be very happy for isolation then. 1 to 5V difference is enough to damage electronics.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, if you run multiple inferences at the same time on the same GPU you will need load multiple models in the vram and the models will fight for resources right? So running 10 parallel inferences will slow everything down 5 times right? Or am I missing something?
>Cursive might be faster for an experienced writer (though Google tells me that claim is debatable), but it takes a long time to get there. I learned cursive as a child, used it for years, and it was never faster than printing, it was much slower.

Red sea isn't that cold though, likely something like 23 Celsius, this was winter so it's slightly colder. In the summer I've dived the red sea with no wet suit and it's certainly not a problem to swim for some time.

I've also done a lot of diving and I'm not sure if I'd try or not. Dive boats are not that large and if it's a liveaboard you'll get very familiar with the boat pretty quick. There's typically a main cabin area/level, stairs to the cabins, and that's about it. If it's that or death then I might take my chances. Assuming you are in an air pocket then you have time to regroup, plan, and also take a deep breath. Dark is certainly a problem and not having a mask does make for a complication. It also depends where I am specifically on the boat. If you're talking about swimming out immediately when you wake up in the middle of the night and find yourself under water - yeah, that's a tough one. It's basically what these guys did though, they got to this air pocket. From the sound of it when they woke up the boat was not completely flooded either.

Looking at the video I agree this doesn't look like a great place to swim out of.

You can likely tell if you're on the surface or not. You're going to feel the swell, waves etc.

One takeaway is to have an emergency plan ready in advance. If you're super paranoid you can also have your mask with you. Some divers carry an extra compressed air bottle which would be handy too. Flashlight?
The training cost adds a minuscule amount to the marginal cost of each search. The best sources I can find on training GPT-4 say it used 50 GWh of energy to train. GPT-4 is being used for a lot more than ChatGPT, but even if we assume that ChatGPT is all it's used for if we divide the total cost of energy by the total number of ChatGPT searches it increases the cost of each search by 10% (I go into this in the post) raising the marginal cost including training from 3 Wh to 3.1 Wh.
I feel like I knew about this at some point but thank you for reminding me especially now that I've got more prolog under my belt.
Because you could encounter absolutely any organism and make the same argument. There is no configuration of organism that would cause you to say "huh, I guess Survival doesn't depend on Fitness after all!"

Because it takes the observation of Survival and uses it to infer Fitness, at the same time as saying that Fitness confers Survival.
>edit: regarding strength of addiction...

It's profoundly obvious you're missing the point, and conflating somehow having a low degree of addiction to something with not being addicted at all to it. Your example about alcohol clumsily compares people addicted to it with people who obviously don't have a problem with it. We were talking, instead, about people, like myself, who had some degree of addiction to food, and still found it in themselves to overcome that shit. So it's two groups of people: addicts who beat their addiction, and addicts that didn't; not addicts and non-addicts, like you explained. Your examples, as you can see, are totally irrelevant and miss the point completely.

You also seem to imply that the degree to which you're addicted to something is the sole factor determining whether you will overcome your addiction or not, leaving your own will out of the equation. It should be logically self-evident that the fact that somebody beat their addiction says close to nothing about its "strength". One could have many physiological and psychological predispositions to food adiction and still beat it, while somebody with just a fraction of such problems could live a miserable life and never do away with it.

No it's not. Bitlocker, etc are full disk encryption methods. They are trying to prevent someone from accessing your data in the event someone has it physically. They can do other things to compromise the device in increasingly sophisticated methods, but generally speaking, that's what it's trying to do and protecting your device from those are generally up to other security measures.

Yes, but not `iff`.

f(X) :- g(X), h(X).
f(a).

With those two statements, `f(a)` is true, but it does not mean that `g(a)` and `h(a)` are also true. Instead, it means that we happen to know some fact, `f(a)`, and some rule for cases beyond that fact. If it also happened that `g(a)` and `h(a)` are true then we'd have two ways of arriving at the fact of `f(a)` being true.

It's a reverse of the implication arrow and is meant to be read that way:

f(X) :- g(X), h(X).

Is read as "f(X) if g(X) and h(X)", versus "if g(X) and h(X) then f(X)".

> Why not have the LLMs do as much work as possible and have humans review and put their own name on it?

That's not a good way to improve on the accuracy of the LLM. Humans reviewing work that is 95% accurate are mostly just going to rubber-stamp whatever you show them. This is equally a problem for humans reviewing the work of other humans.

What you actually want, if you're worried about accuracy, is to do the same work multiple times independently and then compare results.

It was random, and it survived.

Every single part of an organism goes through a recombination/mutation process countless times, the stinger evolved to be what it is today over a very long time and it's cool to study why it ended up the way it did. Tells us about their environment and history and evolutionary pressures, survival is a result of the random traits being successful in their context in specific ways.
> I have to look up the very fiddly and unintuitive systemd commands all the time. service start? service.foo start? start foo.service? Oh right, sudo systemctl start service.foo

I don't get this complaint. It's the same order as almost every other command-line utility that has subcommands: <command> <subcommand> <thing to operate on>. To me, that kind of consistency is very intuitive.

systemctl stop my-service
systemctl status my-service

git remote remove upstream
apt install my-package
docker run my-container
adb push local-file remote-file

Yes I was thinking about mentioning China, but I have not experienced this kind of blatant censorship and control myself. Hoping ofc to keep it that way.

But at the same time, social media brain rot is definitely real, and its hurtful effects on public discourse.

The comparison to early press is warranted to open up this topic and really take a look at reality. Banning specific platforms seems like symbolism at best, but paper press was not personalized in such a fine-grained way, although the bubble phenomenon is not strictly limited to the web.

And no paper journal ever had access to so much personal data of their readers.

I think many debates about this boil down to the question whether we want to merge private and public discourse.

Coincidentally, this is not just a property of social media but also of totalitarianism.
I always figured a better idea was to put a token tax on voice/VOIP telephony. A few cents per minute or even per connected call that crosses the border.

This makes the unsophisticated scams that rely on spray-and-pray and low-take-rate uneconomical, AND provides friction against offshoring legitimate customer-service.

Yeah, you can argue people will encrypt their way around being easily taxable, but it's the "tax evasion/AML" concept-- you create something easy to prove and to prosecute, even if it would be harder to hunt down the underlying scam.
The problem statement was text that random humans can read and OCR cannot.

The concept of indirect fitness must be more complicated than explained here. The article explains it as a worker bee sharing 75% of her genes with her sisters, but only 50% with a child, so there is selection pressure for workers to be sterile and self-sacrificing. But few genes actually differ between individuals, so the percentages are much higher. E.g., I share ~ 99% of my genes with each one of you reading this. Assuming honey bees' genetic variation is not much more extreme than human variation, we're talking about 99.5% vs. 99.75% sharing, which sounds more like an explanation of why altruism would be preferred in general rather than uniquely affecting bees.

The article does eventually circle around to acknowledge this, but it's easy to miss and very underdeveloped compared to the discussion of kin selection: "So why do bees die when they sting you? Perhaps because they're disposable parts of a larger super-organism which has evolved by multi-level selection."
Yes, I don't understand their ridiculous AGI hype. I get it you need to raise a lot of money.

We need to crack the code for updating the base model on the fly or daily / weekly. Where is the regular learning by doing?

Not over the course of a year, spending untold billions to do it.
Yes, so whether the service is stopping as a result of the process exiting, or whether you requested the service to stop manually, it will run the ExecStop in either case.

That makes sense to me personally. What would be the more intuitive design in your mind?

It does seem like individual prompting styles greatly effects the performance of these models. Which makes sense of course, but the disparity is a lot larger than I would have expected. As an example, I'd say I see far more people in the HN comments preferring Claude over everything else. This is in stark contrast to my experience, where ChatGPT has and continues to be my go to for everything. And that's on a range of problems: general questions, coding tasks, visual understanding, and creative writing. I use these AIs all day, every day as part of my research, so my experience is quite extensive. Yet in all cases Claude has performed significantly worse for me. Perhaps it just comes down to the way that I prompt versus the average HN user? Very odd.

But yeah, o1 has been a _huge_ leap in my experience. One huge thing, which OpenAI's announcement mentions as well, is that o1 is more _consistently_ strong. 4o is a great model, but sometimes you have to spin the wheel a few times. I much more rarely need to spin o1's wheel, which mostly makes up for its thinking time. (Which is much less these days compared to o1-preview). It also has much stronger knowledge. So far it has solved a number of troubleshooting tasks that there were _no_ fixes for online. One of them was an obscure bug in libjpeg.

It's also better at just general questions, like wanting to know the best/most reputable store for something. 4o is too "everything is good! everything is happy!" to give helpful advice here. It'll say Temu is a "great store for affordable options." That kind of stuff. Whereas o1 will be more honest and thus helpful. o1 is also significantly better at following instructions overall, and inferring meaning behind instructions. 4o will be very literal about examples that you give it whereas o1 can more often extrapolate.

One surprising thing that o1 does that 4o has never done, is that it _pushes back_. It tells me when I'm wrong (and is often right!). Again, part of that being less happy and compliant. I have had scenarios where it's wrong and it's harder to convince it otherwise, so it's a double edged sword, but overall it has been an improvement in the bot's usefulness.

I also find it interesting that o1 is less censored. It refuses far less than 4o, even without coaxing, despite its supposed ability to "reason" about its guidelines :P What's funny is that the "inner thoughts" that it shows says that it's refusing, but its response doesn't.

Is it worth $200? I don't think it is, in general. It's not really an "engineer" replacement yet, in that if you don't have the knowledge to ask o1 the right questions it won't really be helpful. So you have to be an engineer for it to work at the level of one. Maybe $50/mo?

I haven't found o1-pro to be useful for anything; it's never really given better responses than o1 for me.

(As an aside, Gemini 2.0 Flash Experimental is _very_ good. It's been trading blows with even o1 for some tasks. It's a bit chaotic, since its training isn't done, but I rank it at about #2 between all SOTA models. A 2.0 Pro model would likely be tied with o1 if Google's trajectory here continues.)

Another 2010 owner here. I'm at 280,000km, and other than burning some oil everything still works fine. Usually by this age cars here are pretty rusty, but so far my Prius has held up well. There's a few spots of surface rust in places, but nothing serious.

We had to replace the inverter a few years ago (apparently there was a software update to prevent this failure, but we didn't have it), but even when that broke the car was still driveable, just the ICE engine was running all the time.

The biggest issue I've had is with brakes. Three times now the rear pads have got rusty and I've had to replace both the pads and rotors. My theory is that as they are hardly used, they don't get hot enough to dry out any moisture. Last year I rebuild the rear calipers, so let's see if that fairs any better.
