If you want to talk to people you know you have apps like Whatsapp. Bluesky is to talk to the world one way or another and so is the same as Twitter ultimately even if for the time being you may be able to filter what you see more.

I mean, just now I went to Bluesky's web homepage and what I saw is "discover" pointing me to "influencers"...
I actually like it, moving to EU is currently my back-up plan when “great advances in AI” renders the rest of the world to make people loose jobs, give up privacy and overall make dystopian future a present. I’ll be happily coding my boilerplate code by hand, enjoying my boring life without AI.
They are when major news outlets with 100+ years of history write entire articles based on their direction, or even just reference single tweets as justification for an entire opinion article.
I am sure this will end up all well in the end for the channel. I also get it why you can't have anything but automated filtering as a first pass on the volume youtube deals, it's absolutely understandable. This, however, might be a learning on youtube's end to include "if filter returns that this channel is literally hitler, but channel is also >xy years old or >subs or >views take it at least for a human consideration before inconvenience". Ultimately it won't render anything new to youtube as a platform, they'll still have to deal with automated and then human appeal process, but at least it will gain some confidence to content creators that the broom isn't all that thick.
Mistake? Haha, we don't make mistakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzFmPFLIH5s
Hope your story bubbles up enough to get real support from Google.
How does that even work on YouTube? You publish each video to every backup channel? You'd still lose followers and views surely.
And the downvotes are for? Having used these tools at all?
The number of times I've seen straight up porn and OnlyFans content on Twitter in my feed in the recent months is 100% higher than what I've ever encountered on BS.
That makes it a great point, not a horrible one.
First, that's true for globals as well. Second, with "context structure" pattern, the modifications to it are usually done by copying this structure, modifying some fields in the copy and passing the copy downwards, which severely limits the impact radius and simplifies tracking down which function messed it up: it's either something above you in the call stack or one of the very few (hopefully) functions that changes this context by-reference, with intent to apply such changes globally.

> This is the people’s property, not his. We have three branches of government, due process, checks and balances, we don’t have a dictatorship and frankly everyday this is looking more and more like a soft coup.

Yes, it’s the people’s property, being granted to private third parties by the executive branch under block grants from Congress. And the people elected Trump as the President in part based on his promise to scrutinize how unelected civil servants were managing all this. This is the elected leader of the executive branch delegating authority to his agent to regulate performing discretionary functions of the executive branch. That’s responsive government, not dictatorship.

We just had an election where both parties ran on an anti-immigration platform, and the more extreme guy won. If that didn’t result in canceling discretionary grants to refugee resettlement programs that would have meant democracy doesn’t work.

Demanding that someone write a report and have some committee is absurd. You can never change an organization that way. What you’re really demanding is that unelected civil servants be allowed to prioritize what they want instead of what the voters want.

I encourage you to listen to this NYT podcast about immigration: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/29/podcasts/the-daily/electi.... It details how for decades immigration policy has departed from what Congress actually enacted and what voters wanted. A lot of that was due to state department just doing whatever it wanted—e.g. turning the H1B from a temporary worker program into a vehicle for permanent immigration. That’s a profound failure of democracy.
Why hire and pay actual humans to moderate and review false takedowns when you can have the free labor of other community platforms (like twitter, hn, reddit) organically raise only the high impact support tickets for you? It is literally jira, but free, IQ 1000
What guarantees that final users can't protect themselves against phishing, because who knows if that new name, with completely incompatible history belongs to the same owner or not?
I really love the app and the idea - I am using it on an iPhone 13 Pro. It does work to block everything but there seem to be issues when selecting or deselcting from large categories. E.G. I have 30 Health Apps and I want to enable SleepCycle while keeping the others blocked. That does not work it will always automatically unblock all 30. Therefore it does not let me create any profiles with actual use unless I block everything.
That's shocking, sinevibes is a legit developer in the music/audio space. They made the FX for dreadbox's Typhon synth and several popular FX plugins for Korg logue synths. I'm subscribed to their newsletter and have never received spam. All their youtube channel had were demos of their products, as far as I recall. Like "here's how the dry synth sounds, here's how it sounds with reverb", can't even imagine how an algorithm thought it runs afoul of a spam or scam policy. Probably a mistake, hope it's fixed.
I haven't seen a single nude, dick or otherwise on my Bluesky feed. Perhaps your wife doth protest too much? ;)

Apologies for being hard to parse-- low mental bandwidth..

The purpose of a language is to reduce the complexity (of whatever domains it's applied to) while maintaining the sophistication.

lisp proved itself for building dynamic websites, APL-derivatives for certain slices of finance/banking, python for machine learning,Matlab for engineering simulations. What, to your knowledge, has Haskell similarly done ?

(Fwiw I hope to see the "microsuccess" of pandoc or xmonad scaled.)

Fingers crossed for Bluefin, though it still seems very niche
When have gun laws ever stopped a shooting?

When have criminals EVER followed law, code, rules, or even a suggestion from their fellow citizens?

Believing laws deter criminals is almost criminally insane and beggars all logic.

After all of the accumulated evidence against your belief, you still believe laws deter criminality.

The death penalty doesn’t deter criminals. How could words possibly have an effect?

Are reasoning benchmarks today actually reliable?
But now you're comparing median video bitstream with peak audio bitstream.

YouTube uses variable bitrate for audio, which can vary dramatically in size. Your example of podcasts or "talking heads" is actually perfect. Most encoders are extremely efficient at compressing voices, as they will only have to encode 30-300Hz, and voices have less data variation than images.

Image encoding is just very complex. It'll get better and better, but audio encoders of the same generation will also improve.
...how? What feed? Is she following people who post dick pics?

Not doubting her experience, but I've never experienced this (accidentally).
It also depends on what you're hiring for. If you want a proofreader you probably want to test their abilities to both use a grammar checker, and work without it.

For me the difference is that using an LLM requires a insane amount of work from the interviewer. Fair enough that you'd use Copilot day to day, but can you actually prompt it? Are you able to judge the quality of the output (or where you planning on just pawning that of to your code-reviewer). The spell checker is a good example, do you trust it blindly, or are you literate enough to spot when it makes mistakes?

The "being able to spot the mistakes" is what an interviewer wants to know. Can you actually reason about a problem and sadly many cannot.
The State of WebAssembly – 2024 and 2025
This is an example of "metaphor-driven development" in AI, which Phil Agre criticized a few decades ago.

System 1/System 2 isn't a real thing. It's just a metaphor Kahneman invented for a book. AI developers continually find metaphors about the brain, decide they are real, implement something which they give the same name, decide it's both real and the same thing because they have given it the same name, and then find it doesn't work.

(Another common example is "world model", something which has never had a clear meaning, and if you did define it you'd find that people don't have one and don't need one.)
We already have delivery drones though.

I disagree though, it is useful as this problem has been whittled down and I think there is expectation that there will be continued effort. Its of course worth discussing but I find that for my workflows, I rarely encounter issues with hallucinations, they certainly exist but its gotten to a point that I don't have major issue with it.
Those numbers aren’t accurate anymore they’re out of date and now much higher. Also, I voluntarily pay my students and postdocs 2-3x those numbers currently.

But ultimately (1) those are seen as training positions that lead to a tenured faculty position, which pays fairly well, and has a lot of job security and freedom; (2) certain granting agencies limit what you can spend on students and postdocs, to levels that are too low for HCOL areas.
You can find more "then and now pictures" (rephotography) on re.photos. It has an archive of around 3000 pictures from around the world. (I developed the website as a final project during my studies. It's a bit dated but still alive and kicking.)

Counterpoint, if you want to stay in the company, asses the leader's (one that displace you) personality and track record. There's some leaders that will reassign your role to a totally different one on a whim, without considering your skill and experience. Worse, you may get accounted for when failed.

The best way to stay the longest in this kind of company is to perform the minimum required.

This is basically peter principle in the working
Totally missed that, thanks!
This was helpful in clarifying to me how dangerous Yarvin and those who follow his beliefs are to normal people. As stated in the AMA, he believes everything he says. We have substantial documentation of extreme proposals, including turning the lower class into biodiesel or simply locking them in prisons where they can live out virtual lives. How did we get to the point where a cyberpunk dystopia is our definition of an optimal society? How do you counter a movement funded by the most wealthy and powerful people in the world who solely want to use their influence to exact control without empathy? How to we get to a post-ironic world where we have sincere discussions about improvement and not just troll to create chaos to centralize control?
Great recommend, thanks!
You already could have a client that treats a block as a mute. Easier to just open an incognito tab though.

> In theory, a bad actor could create their own rogue client or interface which ignores some of the blocking behaviors, since the content is posted to a public network. But showing content or notifications to the person who created the block won’t be possible, as that behavior is controlled by their own PDS and client.

Five Coding Hats
I’ve seen the “go-to” person get trapped in a local maximum, because even though they get opportunities, they are held to a higher standard. It’s a recipe for burnout if you don’t know what you’re doing, and can keep you from building deep expertise, since you’re constantly bouncing from fire to fire.
Imo, the real takeaway here is that ad-tech isn’t just tracking people — it’s that it's becoming a decentralised surveillance network where no single entity takes any responsibility. Even with "Ask App Not to Track," your IP, geolocation, and device fingerprint still end up being leaked! It shows that tracking isn’t a feature anymore — it’s the business model.
Show HN: Marksmith – a GitHub-style Markdown editor for Ruby on Rails
This is slightly tangential to your questions, but to address the "remembering details about your past work", I've long-encouraged the developers I mentor to keep a log/doc/diary of their work.

If nothing else, it's a useful tool when doing reviews with your manager, or when you're trying to evaluate your personal growth.

It comes in really handy when you're interviewing or looking for a new job.

Julia Evans calls it a "brag doc": https://jvns.ca/blog/brag-documents/

It doesn't have to be super detailed either. I tell people to write 50% about what the work was, and 50% about what the purpose/value of the work was.. That tends to be a good mix of details and context.

Writing in it once a month, or once a sprint, is enough. Even if it's just a paragraph or two..
The main thing for me would be stuff like banking which require app-based authentication. Of course, solutions like this unfortunately don't work on something like Waydroid because the app knows it's in a container and thus blocks functionality.

Deutsch is primarily a physicist, not a philosopher. I'm not a fan of his philosophical takes either but he is not as stupid as you infer. He invented the Deutsch-Josza algorithm along with Richard Josza, the first example of absolute quantum speedup.

Yes, 60s famous as period when the gender of the author or characters did not mattered in the slightest. It was totally only later when they started to matter, sure.
In addition, look into Total Quality Management and other theories. This is a well studied topic.
The idea of the EU wouldn’t just follow suit seems kind of laughable. Or rather that the EU would be some bastion of safety from AI. If these “great advances in AI” happen then EU companies will just outsource their jobs, there will be no boilerplate/CRUD jobs.

It is 125 years since the steel ship building industry took off, there are no mysteries around how it must be done, but the nature of the greed machine, means that China and Korea can put a finnished ship into service, for much less per pound, than I can buy raw steel.

Just like with Facebook/Instagram, if your account gets taken over and then banned because the hackers used it for spam/scams, there’s no way to get your account back. There’s an “appeal” button where a robot instantly denies your appeal without any opportunity to provide evidence. It’s not a joke.

Once you’re locked out, you’re fucked. Meta doesn’t give a shit about its users, that’s the only way this business model can work.

Now for me, I try to use Meta products as little as possible. But my partner gets a significant amount of business leads from Instagram, it’s quite lucrative for her, so she took quite a hit when she lost that account and had to start over.
Yes, that's why the idea is running linux instead
I actually coincidentally tried this yesterday on variants of the "surgeon can't operate on boy" puzzle. It didn't help, LLMs still can't reliably solve it.

(All current commercial LLMs are badly overfit on this puzzle, so if you try changing parts of it they'll get stuck and try to give the original answer in ways that don't make sense.)
I agree, but I think that's a higher bar than "not being satisfying", which is what Lost was (putting it very generously). Fans often get carried away with mystique of mystery boxes and anything short of an orgasmic existential experience would be a letdown, but that doesn't mean in an absolute sense it would be an unsatisfying or bad end.
Zero relevance to what/who? There are a lot of "older" people on Facebook who are on no other platform. Super useful for targeted advertising. X users are more likely to also use other social media like Instagram and TikTok. This is why companies can afford stop advertising on X without much issue.

> AI that tries to infer people’s emotions at work or school.

When I talk to ChatGPT advanced voice mode with a happy and upbeat tone, it replies similarly. If I talk to it in a lot neutral way it does adapt. The AI thus infers my emotions. I use ChatGPT at work, my company pays for it.

Sounds like I should sue.

Also, I am trying to implement a new policy for pull request in my tech team. We send an anonymous form to gather feedback. I sent all the responses in one block to ChatGPT and asked it to summarize the feedback. The AI indicated that “generally people seem pretty happy about the new policy”. Should I go to jail now for being clearly a deranged madmen according to the EU ?

Can I share my experience?

I registered bluesky account for the second time last Friday and I've pick no interests during first login. Last year I had Discovery feed filled with drawn porn despite of my settings. And now on a fresh account it's mainly American politics - while setting are more liberal regarding adult content. I followed nearly 60 people but only few of them are active. The global stream overall seems to be much "slower" than public federated one on mastodon. My partner complains he gets furry porn in Discovery while having a zero interest in that - he follows only 11 accounts.

I haven't bumped on screenshots from twitter so far.
UC postdocs are unionized… but it’s not a great union. The higher paid postdocs saw their pay and benefits go down from the union.
The tech company I work for is listed on the NASDAQ and headquartered in Birmingham, a few minutes out of Detroit - originally it was in Rochester. There is a lot of money in Michigan. The main issue I can see is that you have to be in the right circles - there is definitely a class divide in the state, and it's pretty brutal.
Is this what you think debating is? It's pretty pathetic. I'll make you a deal, I'll substantiate a claim or two if you stop consistently ignoring which specific costs the administration is "cutting", and why. Read the executive order on education.

And again, I must say to anyone who doesn't have their head in the clouds, they are breaking federal law by not spending congressionally-appropriated funds.

Now I've moved on.
I did not use Bluesky a lot, and just set it up to try self-hosting.

From what I know :

- Right now you can self-host your PDS (Personal Data Server) that hosts your user account basically, and all of your user content (posts, images, etc...)

- The easiest way to register is to use bluesky's frontend, and specifying your PDS address, I didn't try to self-host it too but I would assume if you self-host the bluesky web app, or just do the api calls to your PDS by hand or in another application, registration would work too.

- From what I understood, when you post, it is completely stored on your PDS, and then there are kinds of "mega nodes", (I think they are called Firehoses ?) That aggregate from a bunch of PDS, (and the official bsky.social PDS) and present it to end users. I don't think you can self-host theses just yet.

So, in the end, I think you can absolutely interact on Bluesky without being registered, by installing your own PDS and only making calls to create an account on it and post on it, without having an account elsewhere. However, the "end user" part is still closed off for now, since the Blue Sky Frontend uses *official* aggregators that could theoretically refuse your posts.

That sounds like a lot of developers I've worked with.
For those that rely on social media, this is probably the biggest upside to there being social media platforms... not all of them will take you down at once.

Other than that, this is probably because the content owner has a product called "Switch", and they are not as big and mighty as Nintendo. Makes me think that if you are creating a brand or product name, better use a made-up word
There is some truth to this, but i worry detroit is just doing the same thing that blew them out last time (overdependence on a small group of extremely rich businessmen that can leave at any time). Hope this works out for them, Detroit has really suffered since the automakers left (and the riots)
I interviewed for an internship at Ford in probably 2015. It was striking to me that they spent basically half the interview hyping up Detroit and convincing me that it would be a fun city to spend time in. It was clear that the company knew one of its biggest challenges to hiring was the location. Glad to hear things are improving but the reputation of Detroit still has a ways to go.
But those two rows are vacuous truths, which Popper obviously doesn't care about in context as they're not falsifiable.
The future they want: you'll have nothing and be happy (to be still alive).
Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg and many many others do everything in their power to reduce costs including paying less taxes, which includes using tax havens and tax loopholes that they themselves make sure to keep open by "lobbying" politicians, so effectively to work in general means to work for mostly cheaters and there is no way to avoid it, sure you can stay unemployed and stay clean of the moral corruption that entails living in a capitalist system but many don't consider that an option; and is not like buying from them is any better morally speaking, for the exact same reasons.
