GP could have just said "poverty" and the vast majority of unconstructive discussion that has followed could have been avoided.

Instead they said "abject poverty" as an emotional emphasizer, and people rightly called them out.

If there were groups that voiced a desire to be informed of that, then it would indeed be courteous to do so.

"This page intentionally left blank"

If nothing else, it should be done as a courtesy to those who would like to avoid such content.

If the result is better for having used AI, why wouldn't an author want to disclose it?

One thing I've seen discussed that throws a wrinkle in all of this is the question of whether or not a parent can have control over what their kid can see when they're at a friend's house, and if the answer is no, does that mean something more global like mandatory age verification is necessary to ensure they are still protected.

The argument I've seen goes that even if a parent has complete control over what is available on their home network and on their children's devices, the fact that another parent in their children's friend group does not enforce the same means in practice the amount of control a parent can exert on this problem is effectively zero and a higher-level approach to eradicate this loophole is necessary.

I don't think I agree with that, but that's the strongest case I've come across for implementing such policies.

What I think it really calls for though is a solution in the space of community and communication rather than direct governmental intervention.

So let's see some of the champions of these systems acknowledge this downside and make the case that they should be built in a way that avoids it and not back down on that when it becomes inconvenient.

Apprenticeship? Actually spend time working with them on real work.

It's both hard and doesn't scale.

You may already know about it, but for those that aren't aware of it, Windows' Event Tracing system can give a pretty deep view into identifying misbehaving software. It probably doesn't cover everything you wish you could track, and not quite with the level of directness you're asking for, but it's helped me track down weird slowdowns and hangs on my computer on a few different occasions.

There's a third party tool for collecting and examining such traces easier called UIforETW

Edit every cell? No. Edit enough cells to impact health outcomes for a meaningful period of time? [Yes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY)

Feels more like uv than pip, which is interesting for an ecosystem like Java.

The constant "nuts does A. No B. No C. No D" the readme is exhausting to read ai slop.

Please put your sales pitch up front, then let the rest be plain documentation, don't intermingle the two.

We call this pattern an "Arms Race" for a reason

So a more zachtronics style scoreboard that separates the different optimizable metrics?

Every time a wild female mates with a sterile male, that's one less time they've mated with a viable male. It greatly reduces the number of successful females and therefore the size of the following generation.

Zulip lives in the space between forum and chat, it might be what you're looking for.

What definition of success are we using that having over $7 billion in net income after expenses in 2025, and nearly $2 billion so far this year, is "doing very poorly"?

> The point of this was always to explore what is possible with AI as quickly as possible.

If that was the intent, the messaging at many companies failed to communicate that. The message was "increase this metric", not "explore this space".

The link under "would be introducing measures"[1] has the full statement from the councilmember where he describes the proposals he will be bringing:

> A Modest Proposal for Digital Device Prohibition: A total ban on all cellular and GPS-capable devices for all operations within city limits.

> A Modest Proposal for Total Surveillance Abolition (Residential & Commercial): A total ban on all outward-facing cameras

> A Modest Proposal for Total Municipal and Commercial Decommissioning: A total termination of all internet services and electronic record-keeping

For those that didn't catch the reference, he's alluding to the 1729 publication by Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver's Travels

>A Modest Proposal For preventing the children of poor people in Ireland, from being a burden on their parents or country, and for making them beneficial to the publick.

Which was a satirical work suggesting that the Irish poor's financial woes could be addressed by eating children, thus feeding people while reducing resource demand.

I suspect it's because AI is specifically trained to be good at summarizing stuff, but the easiest way to check if it summarized something accurately is if the summary content matches/contains one or more specific claims from the source(s). With such a focus on accuracy and avoiding hallucination, they may have overfit on "repeat things you find verbatim when asked to summarize".

Why are they subpoenaing Apple and Google for this information instead of EZ Lynk for their own records of distribution?

Not going past the end of a string or array is C 101 and yet buffer overruns abound. Rust's memory model doesn't do anything you shouldn't already be doing in C, but it provides real value because in practice people are demonstrably bad at doing those things. So would a SQL variant or successor that made these "beginner" mistakes a lot harder to make.

While successfully running a business in a sustainable way may not be the peak of ambition, calling it low ambition is toxic in the other direction.

It's reversed compared to wiimotes, where the controllers are tracking a pair of fixed points. Here the phone is tracking the controllers

Critically, it doesn't have to be binary trusted/untrusted, and it doesn't have to be statically determined. If Bill vouched for you yesterday and today you are trusting a bunch of discovered bots, that would down weight the amount of trust the network has in Bill a lot more than if he vouched for you did months ago.

The question is whether we can arrive at a set of rules and heuristics and applications of the system that sufficiently incentivizes being a trustworthy member of the network.

That's why a web of trust was suggested. You keep track of who vouched for who and down weight those who vouch for users that prove to be bots. In theory at least. It's certainly more complicated than only that in practice.

IIRC it's been delayed due to the recent increase in RAM prices

Based on that I'd guess either a meditation app company has figured out how to circumvent a lot of controls put in place by Apple, or it's a bug on Apple's side

And as of 2023 TD now has API integration with plaid so you don't need to give credentials to connect your account anymore

While we're being unreasonably pedantic, it also wasn't caught on film because it was a digital camera.

I think you underestimate how popular Pokemon is.

By most objective measures it's the largest entertainment franchise in all of history.

Would you also object to any other pop-culture reference for the same reason?

What would make the prompt a better actual evaluation in your judgement?
