What Does Intellectual Humility Look Like? (2021)
So much dumb in this article that it's hard to figure out what's actually going on.

I have to assume this this is the same "issue" with all Apple permissions. They can only be requested once by the app and if the user denies it then the user has to dig into Settings to turn it on later. To avoid/work around this a lot of app developers prompt the user before they trigger the OS-level prompt so that if the user says "no thanks" they don't "burn" their one chance to request a permission.

Apple, it seems, doesn't use those "pre-consent" screens so it's only 1 dialog. Also, to my knowledge, Apple doesn't allow it's apps to prompt with the system dialog multiple times either so they are on equal footing it appears.

As always it's important to see who is complaining/behind this:

> The French investigation was triggered by a complaint lodged by advertising industry associations.

Ahh, got it.

The "Autorité de la concurrence" seems to suffer from the same issue almost all government regulators suffer from, they know fuck-all about technology which is perfectly summed up with this:

> Benoit Coeure, the head of France's competition authority, "told reporters the regulator had not spelled out how Apple should change its app, but that it was up to the company to make sure it now complied with the ruling,"

Not only is it a "You need to make _A_ change but we won't tell you what it is"-type thing which is super annoying [0] but "Apple should change its app". If you don't understand the difference between an "App" and an "OS" then you should not be making rules for either.

ATT is a 100% win for consumers and I don't for a second believe the BS around "but what about small businesses!", just look at all the people championing small business, it's check notes, ahh, yes, Facebook and large ad agencies, bastions of small business /s.

[0] Yes, it's even more annoying when Apple does it to developers and I think we are all feeling a little bit of Schadenfreude over it.
> Third-party publishers "cannot rely on the ATT framework to comply with their legal obligations," so they "must continue to use their own consent collection solution," the French agency said.

This absolutely sounds like a problem caused by the law and not apple. Apps can’t rely on the prompt for legal authorization (presumably because it is filtered through apples apis?) and must therefore ask themselves.

The only two solutions I see to this is either Apple can’t prompt which means they can’t protect the user or the law can change to accept the prompt as authorization to track.

I'm 34. In highschool I read long, difficult literary fiction for fun. Now I can just about manage good genre fiction (think something like Iain Bank's Culture series) if I put my mind to it and take breaks to look at my phone.

That's objectively worse, there's no way to know what "blue" means in such a context, there are many blues.

"I want things to be worse" is not a compelling argument. Letting developers describe the needs of their applications with a consistent grammar is not unnecessary invention, complexity, or friction.

The grammars of a technology, the set of building blocks with which developers are empowered to create, should balance flexibility with expressive intent. CSS <select> strikes this balance nicely. To decry its inclusion says more about the naysayer than the feature.
>There has been a thread of contempt for the working class from Obama through Harris, and it keeps coming out of peoples' mouths.

Obama, Biden, Harris, and even Hillary Clinton have stronger pro-labor and working class roots than Donald Trump, who has not only never worked an honest day in his life but has a history of abusing and failing to respect the working people he employs.

Tell me any Democrat doesn't represent working class principles when you can tell me anything about their actual platform. All I ever hear from Trumpists is memes and conspiracy theories, and far worse contempt for progressives, gays, trans people, women and immigrants than "guns and religion." That party declared empathy a sin and made "fuck your feelings" their motto, but it's the Democrats who are the assholes?

And you know, given Jan. 6th, the "guns and religion" thing doesn't even seem that unfair.

Gwern shared an idea how to exploit the strength of current-generation LLMs, despite their weaknesses, for "create your own adventure"-style fiction. https://gwern.net/cyoa Having people vote on AI-generated potential continuations should yield better results and cut costs at the same time.

From the title I thought this was an implementation of Gwern's idea, but it's not.
The line isn't purely arbitrary, it's a reflection of the reality of what most people expect from sports: we want them to be a contest of human skill on the part of the athlete, not just the amount of money someone is willing to spend on the team. We also want underdogs to have a chance, which is very hard without some sort of limits.

You could probably accomplish something similar by strictly capping spending per team to force people to do real engineering and optimize their play accordingly, but the result would be a very different sport that would appeal to a very different (and probably much smaller) audience. Formula One and Robot Wars come to mind.
The evangelicals believe that anyone who doesn't believe in their god will be tortured by their god for eternity. There's nothing worse than eternal torture, so they see it as their moral obligation to do anything at all to prevent others from being tortured for eternity by their god. Nothing they do to others can possibly be worse than that, so as long as they're focused on saving others any actions they take are justified (to them).

Their god considers gay sex a crime worthy of eternal torture. So anything they do to prevent people from having homosexual encounters is morally acceptable, up to and including torture & occasional execution via "conversion therapy".

Anyone who truly believes in hell is either morally bankrupt & willing to allow others to suffer for eternity, or a dangerous monster who will stop at nothing to prevent others from what they see as sinning.

Many of them don't go to the extremes they would if they actually believed they were saving others from hell. They're full of shit. But some of them do, and they're fucking terrifying.
People not in the field have no idea just how distorted the market is right now.

"Less capability, more reliability, please" is what I want to say about everything that's happened in the past 20 years. Of everything that's happened since then, I'm happy to have a few new capabilities: smartphones, driving directions, cloud storage, real-time collaborative editing of documents. I don't need anything else. And now I just want my gadget batteries to last longer, and working parental controls on my kids' devices.

No, I'm thinking about porting the Linux kernel to WASM itself and not using a VM written in WASM but WASM directly:

LOL Spring2025! is basically my password for an agency that requires rotation every 42 days and doesn't allow any repeats of the last 24 password. Further irony is the pattern of SeasonYear! is something that I only started doing when IT had to reset my password and they used that pattern. (when the account automatically locked out because I didn't update before their 42 days)... I am completely convinced that mandatory password rotation is counter productive
I cant cook without this PWA(progressive web app)
Looking for alpha testers to provide feedback on my PWA:

I'm practically always cooking with a phone these days. So, I thought I'd make my own app to combat some of the UIUX challenges I think most home cooks still face these days. Despite a plethora of cooking apps.

It's far from perfect, but I think Android users will be delighted with the Web Share workflow.
It's the most frictionless way to obtain recipe from the browser(imo).

It's just a recipe scraper now, but I hope to make it more of a tool to help encourage people to steadily level up their cooking game.

I have a general idea where I want to take the UIUX, but this a side quest that I'm avoiding until I include more core utility/functionality.

I gave my self a deadline to post this by March 31st. So here it is in all it's unpolished glory.
----

Note on pricing/cost(since you must bring your own keys):

Each recipe conversion API costs are typically fractions of a cent. You can pretty much enjoy this "pay as you go" model and not go above $1.00 the whole year. Which seems fair(to me) for you to foot that bill. The costs I incur are the monthly server and development costs. I'll have to come up with a way to afford these if it gets MAU, but I think donations would be all I need to keep this going.

I think the primary reason the avg young person doesn't adopt the plethora of cooking apps out there is that: the payment structure is out of balance. I have a lot of speculations why, but i think I'll leave that for another post.

I concur and would like to add that they are also restrained by the limitations of existing "systems" and our implicit and explicit expectations of said system. I am currently attempting to mitigate the harm done by this restriction by focusing on and starting with a first principal analysis of the problem being solved before starting the work, for example; lets take a well established and well documented system like the SSA.

When attempting to develop, refactor, extend etc... such a system; what is the proper thought process. As I see it, there are two paths:

Path 1:

a) Breakdown the existing workflows

b) Identify key performance indicators (KPIs) that align with your business goals

c) Collect and analyze data related to those KPIs using BPM tools

d) Find the most expensive worst performing workflows

e) Automate them E2E w/ interface contracts on either side

This approach locks you into to existing restrictions of the system, workflows, implementation etc...

Path 2:

a) Analyze system to understand goal in terms of 1st principals, e.g: What is the mission of the SSA? To move money based on conditional logic.

b) What systems / data structures are closest to this function and does the legacy system reflect this at its core e.g.: SSA should just be a ledger IMO

c) If Yes, go to "Path 1" and if No go to "D"

d) Identify the core function of the system, the critical path (core workflow) and all required parties

e) Make MVP which only does the bare min

By following path 2 and starting off with an AI analysis of the actual problem and not the problem as it exist as a solution within the context of an existing system, it is my opinion that the previous restrictions have been avoided.

Note: Obviously this is a gross oversimplification of the project management process and there are usually external factors that weigh in and decide which path is possible for a given initiative, my goal here was just to highlight a specific deviation from my normal process that has yielded benefits so far in my own personal experience.
Some people want to back a winner, and they don't really get too worked up about the details. Another example would be Ferrari in early 2000s in F1. Biggest budget, most skilled driver, all the dirty tricks at all levels (on-track, technical, political), plenty of fans.

I want to make sure I am understanding this.

If I have an application that uses OpenAI models then this service can act as a proxy between the my application and the actual OpenAI service. It logs all of the requests that get sent to the OpenAI api. At some later time, I can go through and choose a subset of the API calls and mark them (I'm guessing as good or bad) and these get converted into a training set. I then have to create a value function as its own API that I run on my own servers somewhere (like fly.io). Then I start a training run, which I assume will use some open source AI model to regenerate responses to the training set derived from my initial OpenAI api calls. It then takes the generated responses from that open source model, sends them to my value function api which scores them, and then uses that score to apply some RL magic to the base open source model. At the end of this process I have an open source model that has been RL trained based on the captured api calls as well as the scoring from the value function.

I suppose the argument here is, a RL trained open source model will perform your task better than the base OpenAI model. So your target market is, people already using OpenAI api, they have the desire and funds to experiment with RL, they have the capability of defining a value function, they are able to sift through their api calls to identify the ones that aren't performing well and isolate them, and they are willing to swap out their OpenAI model with an open source model that is RL trained if it can be shown it is more accurate.

I would guess this market exists and the need is real. Defining a value function is much easier than building the infrastructure to RL a variety of open source models. So someone who wants to do this may appreciate paying for someone else who has already set up the infrastructure. And they don't want to host their own model (their already paying for OpenAI model hosting) so maybe they have no problem paying you for inference as well.

Whether or not this succeeds as a business really depends on how effective RL is for the clients you find. There are two paths here, RL is wildly successful and therefore so are you. Or RL fine-tuning is unable to keep up with foundation model advancements and clients will learn it is better to wait it out on the big fellas rather than go through the time-consuming and costly process.
Are we entering the F1 stage of baseball and other sports? I bet there’s room for optimization with gloves and shoes and uniforms. I’m surprised teams haven’t made use of mobile recovery units when visiting away teams (instead of hotels). And there’s still gotta be ways to work around fatigue related to travel and time zone changes. I’m still surprised how basic and limited home team locker rooms can be. There are probably cool tech and social/psych solutions.
Can you export/download the models after training?
I expect they're thinking they should ship something that works, and covers some use cases, and gradually improve it over time to support more use cases.

I would have thought was obvious from the beginning that Honey was making some of its money from affiliate programs; affiliate programs are the standard thing that "shopping" extensions use to make money, leaving aside the much shadier things that even more malicious extensions do (see the various articles on the offers extension authors receive).

I'd always assumed the people promoting it made more money from the sponsorship than they lost from lost affiliate links. The recent discussions suggest that's not the case.
So yesterday I wanted to convert a color pallet I had in Lua that was 3 rgb ints, to Javascript 0x000000 notation. I sighed, rolled my eyes, but before I started this incredibly boring mindless task, asked Gamini if it would just do it for me. It worked, and I was happy, and I moved on.

There are all kinds of bugs in these compilers all the time. Not to mention what Java might do with a multithreading bug. I don’t think you can assert that.

And once again - you can match those languages intended treatment of signed integers by using a compiler flag.

I think clang should insert a ret at the end of the function. Gcc chooses to infinite loop instead which is far better. This is unfortunate for clang.

i started and then deleted several responses to this. I'm not sure how it affects studies, because i don't really read studies that often, it's very taxing on my brain. However, one thing i think is important is it's generally a good idea to give children as little caffeine as possible. I'm sure this is a controversial claim. But if we take that as true, then children aren't getting fluoride from tea, ideally. Adults can make the decision to drink tea that has less or more fluoride, if they care. I personally don't care that much, so i get whatever tea. I have a well, and i brew my tea with distilled water, so whatever is in the bag is whatever i am drinking, and nothing else.

for those that might care, i RO my well water (screen-pre-RO-post filters) into 6 gallon containers, and then distill a gallon at a time. Each gallon of RO water takes ~5 hours total, including the time for the RO to process the water. My RO is very slow, but i am unwilling to pay for a jet pump for it, currently, to speed it up. It takes about 7-8 hours to fill 6 gallons, and it should be able to fill 6 gallons in 3 hours or so - it is a 50GPD filter system, so ~2GPH.
What part of defence contractors or train line builders or oil refineries or corn or sugar growers didn’t need government contracts and subsidies early?
