ok, that sounds more reasonable. changing of how to think about governance is quite different from rejecting any form of governance. i agree that rethinking is necessary.

politics is different from governance. it currently looks the same because politics controls current governments. what i believe needs to happen is the removal of politics. to develop a system of governance that is neutral and free of politics.

please elaborate what you mean by individual responsibility to the institutionalized electorate.
In building there is also a lot of use of PVC which is environmentally awful, for instance for flooring and siding.

They won’t understand your schema and make the wrong assumptions _but_ as long as you are checking the results and can understand the final query they can be very helpful.

Obviously there are tricks to let them better understand your schema but even using all of those it’s going to make the wrong assumptions about some columns and how they are used.
I’ve of two minds on this. On one hand I agree, because the more functionality a music player has the more likely some of it will miss the mark, but on the other hand I find file managers as they currently exist are somewhat inadequate and incapable of fully replacing a library management system in a music player.

Without going too far out into the weeds, lack of integration between filemanagers/filesystems and music players is the main problem. File managers aren’t conducive to sorting by audio file metadata - even those that support it force the user to manually enable those columns in list mode and support is spotty across file formats, meaning the user has to fall back on “hacks” like modifying filenames to sort properly when sorting by name.

Additionally, the browser-type design that’s dominant in file managers doesn’t lend to versatile use with other programs.

This is one area where I think BeOS had the right idea. There, audio metadata was accessible by way of the filesystem which made it easy to access by applications and meant that the file manager more robustly supported sorting by that metadata. Additionally, the file manager was similar to that of Classic Mac OS where windows were dead simple and each represented a single folder, which made it easy to use a file manager window as a playlist window.

The author edited his post with a follow-up.

[Update (2025-02-12): This post, which I thought of as a hasty update to the handful of people who followed my links, was posted to Hacker News for some reason. Yes, I should have provided evidence for the above judgment had I thought more people would read it. As ever, use your own judgment for these things.]

It covers the author's pre-judgement; he admits he didn't put in the work and he tells us to use our judgement and not his.

The part that's not addressed is "I want to reluctantly recommend even less services(/people?)." An eagerness to detract may not be hate but we're right to be wary of it.
We have plenty of controls on money movements. Immigrants who are financially self-sufficient can come here to visit quite easily and freely. They just can't take up jobs. We even let them buy up land, which many countries disallow.

Also, IdeaVim is just awful compared to Evil.

- Tracks the mode globally (rather than per editor), and treats mode-switching as an edit operation (so if you accidentally enter a read-only tab in insert mode then you need to switch to another tab, escape, and then go back to get your keybinds back.

- Doesn't bind escape in sidebar dialogs, so trying to exit insert mode in a terminal or commit dialog just defocuses the sidebar instead

- Still applies its other binds, so even falling back to CUA/IntelliJ keybinds doesn't work either!

- Makes no effort to integrate IntelliJ keybinds, all you get for conflicts is "would you like to lose the Vim or IntelliJ functionality that binds this key?"

The difference is stark when you compare it to something like Evil that actually values the user experience. (How's that for an irony?)
Yes, but:

1. It can still take a while before Google finds out

2. You can log every mapping you got in the meanwhile, then keep selling the ones you already have

We also do something similar at garnix, but when enabling incremental builds. Instead of just skipping the build stage, we also “normalize” the eval into just the store path, and skipping it the second time around.

Mentioned in passing in https://garnix.io/blog/incremental-builds. This is even more significant because in this case you might otherwise be eval-ing several layers of flakes.
> The difference is that there was a community around Reader’s social features.

Are social features the main selling point of RSS readers? I mean I just use mine to know when there's a new blog post/webcomic posted on a few sites I follow, without having to give my email or use another platform like social media to know about it. And I'd use the social features which are present on the blogs, under the control of the blog owner(s), if there's any. Or maybe my use case is not the most common one?

Though I agress about the signal Google sent by killing GR.
We know what true and false mean. An LLM knows what true and false are likely to be surrounded with.

The problem is that expressions of logic are written many ways. Because we are talking about instances of natural language, they are often ambiguous. LLMs do not resolve ambiguity. Instead, they continue it with the most familiar patterns of writing. This works out when two things are true:

1. Everything written so far is constructed in a familiar writing pattern.

2. The familiar writing pattern that follows will not mix up the logic somehow.

The self prompting train of thought LLM pattern is good at keeping its exploration inside these two domains. It starts by attempting to phrase its prompt and context in a particular familiar structure, then continues to rephrase it with a pattern of structures that we expect to work.

Much of the logic we actually write is quite simple. The complexity is in the subjects we logically tie together. We also have some generalized preferences for how conditions, conclusions, etc. are structured around each other. This means we have imperfectly simplified the domain that the train of thought writing pattern is exploring. On top of that, the training corpus may include many instances of unfamiliar logical expressions, each followed by a restatement of that expression in a more familiar/compatible writing style. That can help trim the edge cases, but it isn't perfect.

---

What I'm trying to design is a way to actually resolve ambiguity, and do real logical deduction from there. Because ambiguity cannot be resolved to a single correct result (that's what ambiguity means), my plan is to, each time, use an arbitrary backstory for disambiguation. This way, we could be intentional about the process instead of relying on the statistical familiarity of tokens to choose for us. We would also guarantee that the process itself is logically sound, and fix it where it breaks.
You should carefully reread the link. What Elon is doing does not have precedence in the U.S. Elon does not have the consent of the Senate. His position is not authorized by Congress or the Constituion.

Much of our system relies on people acting in accordance to precedent and within certain established norms. What Elon is doing is way outside those norms. The system is not set up for this type of power to be concentrated in one person who operates outside Congressional oversight. And it appears increasingly likely that he will operate without judicial oversight too.

I like how George W. Bush’s ethics counsel put it.

> I should have accepted much earlier that it was over and just prepared for that inevitability rather than clawing and scratching for options right until the end. I just didn't know how to do it.

And yet with the other choice you might have regretted "not having done everything you could have". That is the curse of those with the ability to actually do something. In many ways, those who do not understand and simply place their faith in doctors are less burdened.

You did what you thought best at the time; that is all you could have done. Nothing you did or did not do was a mistake.

> If he is right about that, you are right that it's too late to hide it; if he's wrong, I think the AI architecture and/or training methods we have yet to invent are in the set of things we could usefully sequester.

If it takes software technology that we have already developed outside of secret government labs, it is probably too late to sequester it.

If it takes software technology that has been developed in secret government labs, its probably too late to sequester the already public precursors with which independent development of the same technology is impossible, getting us back to the preceding.

It takes software technology that hasn't been developed, we don't know what we would need to sequester, and won't until we are in one of the two preceding states.

If it takes a breakthrough in hardware technology, then if we make that breakthrough in a way which doesn't become widely public and used very quickly after being made and the hardware technology is naturally amenable to control (i.e., requires distinct infrastructure of similar order to enrichment of material for nuclear weapons), maybe, with intense effort of large nations, we can sequester it to a limited club of AGI powers.

I think control at all is most likely a pipe dream, but one which serves as a justification for the exercise of power in ways which will please both authoritarians and favored industry actors, and even if it is possible it is simply a recipe for a durable global hegemony of actors that cannot be relied on to be benevolent.

Voltage regulators. Voltage regulation technology is extremely advanced as even very small efficiency gains can save billions for hyperscalers. Unfortunately, I don't know of any specific products to share as power isn't my domain. I'm only familiar with the space because we sometimes have to pull telemetry directly from the VRs when doing system level RCAs. Some of our BMCs can do this directly via I2C.
Not all markets get all features at top trim levels. A top trim level 5 series in Malaysia is pretty close to the US base model 3 series (plastic trim panels vs wood or textured metal), whereas China sometimes has long wheelbase chassis available, and occasionally you can order power window shades and self closing doors. Even the US doesn't get LWB option here in the states (it's great though, your kid can't kick the back of your seat until they're almost 4)

Ahhh memories!
So I've been hovering around jj for a while, trying to understand how it works, without suceeding in having a good mental model around it.
I looked at this megamerge workflow and it's the first one that "clicked" for me (even though I'm not sure I understand the magic behind jj absorb, but I'll look into it).
One thing though is that I don't quite understand how it would work in the context of a real git repo. Let's say I work on two branches, main and feature1, I'd create a [merge] commit that is has the two bookmarks as parents. But if after a fetch main has new changes, do I need to discard the current [merge] and recreate it again ? I can't find a way to just say "Update the parents so they track these bookmarks".
I just tried it on a real repo, working on a change in a branch, then on a change on another branch, then adding a third branch I needed to work on that was not a parent yet, but this seems like a lot of boilerplate to always recreate my megamerge setup so I think I'm missing something

”while it's the sociopaths that constantly want people to live with the guilt of the original sin because that's easy emotional manipulation for the masses to push them towards an agenda”

Why don’t you just literally say you don’t share the same values as Christ!

Pretty sure that was his whole game. I really thought this needed its own reply, because Christ just literally showed up in your post. Like, the literal inverse of him. It’s not your fault, the world is possessed lately.

I have a theory that the Great Pyramids were not some incredible technological advancement. Rather, it was God’s punishment for man’s perverted pursuit of stacking rocks on top of rocks toward the sky, like a beaver. He had them slavishly stack the rocks to the top, for nothing. To this day the other beavers don’t know what it was for, but that’s literally the lesson. Don’t do stuff like that (building pyramids) because it’s a waste of a life.

Everything is perspective, I agree. You cannot forget our sins just because time has passed. You can remember it in a more comfortable way if you want. For example, I’m sure it’s more comfortable talking to me about it online (versus, in church? At work?). Regardless, we are doing the meditation and that’s key.

In fact, I spent an hour or so reflecting on your reply. I’m positive I saw the world’s richest man , unelected, purchased the White House and address the public yesterday. And then I come here to be told I’m an obsessive of the past, with the signature tone of a literal (I mean literal, define anti, and define Christ), literal anti christ slogans. Just a pure outright rejection of Christ and tacit apology for Nazism.

This is not a hard retort by for me at all. Your post is so filthy I may take a walk past a nearby Church, and I’m not trying to insult you. I am literally looking for a sign from the Universe that everything is okay, and that there is less of your type of heart than I’m imagining (anything god, show me a butterfly or something).

Over the years I've tried both the google plugin, and now the BSP one.

Mixed results. Almost always works on Linux/OSX, but my dominant platform is Windows.

Yesterday tried it again (BSP one) with IDEA 21.5 EAP with nightly on the plugins, and things got synced, but was not able to find any targets (they are C++ targets), funny it found and listed a "filegroup"

But I have my hopes up, the BSP looks like it's doing the right thing discovering much faster the targets, and probably needs more work just to finish all edge cases (like mine - Windows).

Selling a bug is not a crime.

> Bounty programs are very much not trying to compete with crime.

Nor did my post posit this.

Bounty programs should pay a substantial fraction of the downside saved by eliminating the bug, because A) this gives an appropriate incentive for effort and motivate the economically correct amount of outside research, and B) this will feel fair and make people more likely to do what you consider the right thing, which is less likely if people feel mistreated.
I like how Asimov put it:

> Most other fields of endeavor aren’t compensated based on the black market value of the thing that’s being produced.

> If we apply your analysis to other things

This analysis doesn't work for a few reasons:

* For physical goods, used items always fetch a lower price than new items due to unrelated effects. And if we're only looking at the used price, we do find that the black market price is just about equal to the used item's value minus the risk associated with dealing with stolen goods (unless the buyer is unaware of the theft, in which case the black market value is the same as the used value).

* For both physical and digital goods, there are millions of potential customers for whom breaking the law isn't an option, creating a large market for the legal good that can serve to counter the effect of the black market price. This isn't true of exploits, where the legal market is tiny relative to the black market. We should expect to see the legal market prices track the black market prices more closely when the legal market is basically "the company who built the service and maybe a few other agencies".
