Purists perpetually decry the zeitgeist's sloppy terminology. Words that climb the Zipf curve get squeezed for maximum compression, even at the cost of technical correctness. Entropy > pedantry. Resisting it only Streisands the shor

It’s too early to call winners. It definitely has more than “nothing” though.

It has a long list of content partnerships. And by far the highest user base, which means lots of unique training data. If it can succeed in spamming the open Internet enough to crowd out competition through costs and bot filters, it'l

Why not two birds with one stone: do the same in tokio + hyper, and disprove the ridiculous claim!

Every time I read about fact-checking in journalism, I feel like there's a huge gap that nobody really talks about. It's very easy to present a story that is 100% factually accurate, but that implies causal links or other claims t

The irony isn't one of dependency. The philosophy celebrates interdependence and the achievements of groups of cooperating people who take care of each other. The irony and tragedy is broader and encompasses both the cult leaders and t

Some of the best convos I've had are with ideologues, it just requires authentic empathy and effort, which means letting go of moral presuppositions and being willing to really listen to them without injecting your own judgments &amp

These are real problems. But they are also loaded questions, if someone asked me these at a party I would view them as looking for confirmation, and not seeking truth. There's nothing wrong with that, but the author's goal is curi

I agree with your conclusion, but I'm really curious to know your reasons & predictions here. Can you elaborate?

Is there freely available data on commercial & private airplane movement in India, China, and Russia? I'd be very surprised by that.

The absurd part to me is that this is all internal to the framework, why on earth does NextJS need to wrap up an HTTP request and re-send it...to itself...? (I think the answer is because of the "requirement" that middleware be

There are mechanisms for this, liked signed headers or extra auth tokens, but using those here should immediately illustrate the absurdity of a framework using headers internally to pass information to other parts of the framework. Relevant

Agreed, it seems inevitable. Unfortunately I think it will also result in further centralization & consolidation into a handful of "trusted" megacorps. If you thought browser fingerprinting for ad tracking was creepy, just wai

IMO this was one of the real motives for Web Environment Integrity. Allow Google to index but nobody else. We're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place here. Which do you prefer, entrenched incumbents or affordable/open hos

Innocuous product features like streaming music, integration with Alexa/Google, connecting to TV and other speakers via wifi. Oh and collecting analytics data and selling to ad networks...

Disagree. There's an abstract "information space" that the code is modeling, and you have to move around your mind's instruction pointer in that space. This can be helped or hindered by both mutable and immutable vars--i

We’re increasingly protecting rich folks from the consequences of bad investments, I wonder how much this moral hazard impacts mobility?

I've not found one either. I did this at a very large scale recently and ended up just using pdfplumber. I did POC Table Transformer but the cost was too high at my scale--there are probably better options now anyway. Most seem to focu

They are tradeoffs and it’s not all-or-nothing. There’s a reason security clearances exist, and that’s basically “security through obscurity”. The argument here is that the loss of privacy and the incentives that will increase centralizatio

The ad hominem is assuming that the person suffers from mindless ideological thinking, and that they're parroting something they heard instead of using their brain. To paraphrase, "yeah well you're just a dumb ideologue...are

Maybe, but there are also a lot of companies being started right now (compared to the 2010s). Scala and Go were significantly boosted by being used at small companies that got huge (Spark and Docker respectively).

I'm not sure this will ever be solved. It requires both a technical solution and social consensus. I don't see consensus on "alignment" happening any time soon. I think it'll boil down to "aligned with the goal

I think you're misapplying the term "blackmail" here and thus poisoning the well. The EU is applying pressure to companies and companies are applying pressure back--that's not blackmail. They each have their own means of

I would be very surprised if they aren't monitoring the cost-benefit curve of delaying EU launches. Why wouldn't they? It costs extra money, time, and legal risk to launch in the EU. It's especially bad for XAI due to Musk&#x
