Git is not a blockchain. Most importantly, it’s not distributed. There’s a singular git server that all git clients for that repository connect to and use as a source of truth.

“required to prosecute all crimes to the fullest extent of the law”, taken literally, requires prosecutors to prosecute everyone for every crime all the time. After all, you don’t know what might turn up in discovery, anything could potentially have happened! Obviously, there has to be some judgement call made, where there’s just not enough evidence to prosecute me for drunk driving even though I stopped an inch past the stop sign. Ultimately, that’s just prosecutorial discretion again, and while it could be reformed and limited somewhat, it will always exist and be abused.

Hm, 8.8.8.8? That was 5 years after Gmail.

Docs, Sheets, and Slides were all acquisitions. I guess Drive and Forms are good.

Good post. Quick question: are these actually tested with GPT-4 or GPT-4o (which is the default ChatGPT engine currently, and believed to be trained largely independently of GPT-4)?

Since it specifically says sexual orientation and not romantic orientation, I think asexual would be the correct answer in that situation.

This is not totally a coincidence. A lot of cities were built on more or less the same central plan.

I mean yeah, not exactly new news. Although I have to make a correction:

Manifold is a startup that runs Manifund, a prediction market – a forecasting method that was the ostensible topic of the conference.

Manifold is the name of the prediction market. Manifold the company also runs Manifund, which distributes money to various EA efforts.

Also, “Manifest has no specific views on eugenics or race & IQ” does not give me confidence in Manifest’s views on eugenics or race & IQ.

It is unfortunate, but there is also reason to be optimistic. It’s clear that they want to make use of existing items, especially under-utilized ones from previous releases. It’s something that they’ve repeatedly talked about over the past year. It’s even one of the design principles from Jeb’s internal handbook. Take copper: added in 1.17, used for brushes in 1.20, and used for copper bulbs, doors, grates, and trapdoors in 1.21. They even briefly played with copper horns in Bedrock. Or tuff: also added in 1.17 as a totally useless block, with variants fleshed out in 1.21 that makes it surprisingly useful for building. Not to mention the crafter and potions of infestation/oozing/weaving are entirely made from existing items, or the new paintings that don’t require any new items at all. Even completely new items are tried to have as many uses as possible from the start: wind charges have tons of different applications. I think Mojang has been paying attention to this trend for longer than most of us have, and we’re finally starting to see it shift how they approach update design.

On Windows, it’s easy! Unfortunately, on Linux, as far as I know, you currently have to use a non-standard client.

You can actually use Zstandard as your codec for 7z to get the benefits of better compression and a modern archive format! Downside is it’s not a default codec so when someone else tries to open it they may be confused by it not working.

I also think that AI companies shouldn’t be allowed to have non-disparagement agreements. Not because of x-risk or anything, but because a) I think all companies shouldn’t be allowed to have non-disparagement agreements, and b) it would create a bunch of entertaining content for this instance.
