I've found it somewhat valuable in two ways and unhelpful/misleading in another:
1. Making small notes is so intuitive and low-pressure. I was already essentially doing before but in the form of various lists of "ideas" or "thoughts on _blank_". You can't reliably decide where you would've put something, it becomes a mess. The fact its a single directory of .md's with a phrasal titles is a great organizing constraint.
2. Being able to find old thoughts/ideas easily and link them together lead to the clarification of a lot of my more unique ideas because of the ad hoc link-language that emerged.
The big problems are the rabbit hole of manic articles promising too much, and the fact that after a while you simply have too many half-baked two-year-old notes that the whole thing becomes limiting and your declare note bankruptcy.
Just because LLMs are a technological innovation for "going to the gym" does not make cable machines a good metaphor. Maybe cable machines with cables made of highly variable grade hemp are comparable to LLMs-- they'll break randomly, and cause unexpected friction here and there. A cable machine still involves a human doing a thing. A forklift at the gym does the work instead.
All this fluff about targeting specific muscles etc is simply not analogous to LLMS. Maybe old-school barbells are paper files and fax machines, and cable machines are Slack, Asana, and Excel?
The cable machines are efficient because they _do the work_ of performing a movement for you, much like how LLMs do the work of writing an e-mail from a prompt describing what you want to write.
They are designed to only activate the target muscle/muscle group during the movement, which is good for working that muscle but bad for working all of the other muscles that _should be_ activated in the kinetic chain for that movement.
Bad analogy. More like, "Professional painter says he doesn't employ low wage contractors to paint for him"
If your rebuttal is "Michelangelo would've only painted the broad strokes and the faces" you're still missing the point that he still /did some painting/.
where in Ai use did you find low wage contractors?
both Photography and Ai are literally "click a (shutter) button" - so photo analogy is perfect
And Michelangelo is bad example because it's "ye old paintings" (you could've at least tried with Picasso or smth) - while my argument would be "painters got replaced by photographers"
From Germany: Two redirects, one for tfd.com, one for the redirected www.thefreedictionary.com. That's the choice -- and fault -- of the domain and webserver owners to have this full redirect instead of serving from the short domain directly.
>That's the choice -- and fault -- of the domain and webserver owners to have this full redirect instead of serving from the short domain directly.
You should choose one so things like caching will work properly, also search engines really want you to keep to a single domain hostname for the same content.
I've always been surprised by how rarely one encounters Pirandello, having read that he was one of the top Italian writers, but the story about his open support of Mussolini explained it pretty quick.
In 1924 a leading socialist was stabbed to death with a file by Mussolini "deputies", and in the ensuing public outrage Pirandello wrote an open letter to Mussolini: 'I will consider it the greatest honor to become one of your humblest and most obedient followers'.
Not a huge fan of the way these 'literary critique' pieces are written, but it was interesting nevertheless. The author alludes to some topicality of the 20th century fascist's mind, but doesn't provide anything specific.
I am actually pretty happy that the political view of an artist didn't make him disappear, as it would happen today. This is one of the greatest things we should be proud of, to be honest, in the West. The witch hunt should be over. However, nowadays an artist can literally disappear for the ideas posted online, which is insane in my opinion.
I read a lot of Pirandello's books (which I highly recommend) and I never cared about his political view. And also throughout the books, I can't remember any subliminal message to make his readers fascists or so. At least I didn't become one, I guess.
It'd be great if we could just learn art without prejudice or too much pre-context.
I just looked up some numbers for UCLA as an example. <45k students (undergrad and grad) and >5k faculty (and another 30k on staff)— so thats a pessimistic ratio of 1 to 9.
If you imagine students take 4 classes per semester and faculty teach 4 per semester… it seems stunningly feasible.
This is a very good argument. We would also learn what features of an App Store add marketable value, and what features are trivial. I imagine the front end isn't very important, but some kind of build certification/verification is. That requires branding, infrastructure and labor. Maybe its easier than I imagine to verify that apps aren't lying about what they do, but as far as I can tell that could well account for some 5% at cost.
On the other hand you trust your bank, for example, so you follow the link on their website and install the App, and the trust came from their own brand.
And people like you will continue to have access to this curated experience. But developers who decide that access to you is not worth the platform fees will be able to pursue an alternative.
Why wouldn't your bank remain on the App Store? Does the app store really lack that many dark patterns? (Billions spent gambling every year)
Again: There is nothing to stop the walled gardens from being build, but they should be built within a competitive market!
The meat of their argument, in my opinion, relies on this:
> Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that the balance of empirical evidence in this area does not support the claim that social media use has a large impact on users’ political attitudes and behavior.
One such study they provide as a strong representative of the empirical evidence was by researchers collaborating with Meta where they did an RCT to test whether reverse-chronological vs ml algorithm feeds resulted int different political beliefs. I haven't looked into the study, but on its face that's an insanely stupid design; if my youtube feed became only reverse chronological one day I'd just open a different app after 40 seconds.
Content platforms' main product is their behavior-modulating feeds, their ability to hold your eyes for 4 hours a day. The idea that this wouldn't be effecting our politics is insane.
Critics: CAHSR is a bad idea and should be killed.
Author: Here's the story of how hard it is to build this novel type of large scale infrastructure, especially when people don't strongly support it.
The dysfunction is real, but the actual point was, "How much of this dysfunction and how much was just what you get with half-assed support?"
You're interpretation of that "no track has been laid" quote betrays that you aren't evaluating this fairly. You really don't understand that laying rocks and steel on a path is easier than building whole bridges and viaducts.
