Isn't Asahi Lina Married to some other japanese Vtubber now? I mean maybe you'd fake all that but I doubt it. Both are more likely real people who are different. The people have totally different eccentricties its really hard to fake that type difference for a long time.

You need downvotes for this kind of behavior haha. Maybe I need to be more important for that feature :)

The parent thread is right though medicare for all would definitely be cheaper. Larger pool to spread the risk. But more importantly we make every N healthcare provider work with M insurence. NxM complexitiy is scaling the cost of healthcare. There are simplifications but the the M insurence providers are the producer of all complexity not the N healthcare providers so basically all that bueracractic overhead also kill costs. Arguablly that wasted bueracracy equals quite a few healthcare insurence employees which I think politically complicates M4A in a stupid way.


It's not about being easy it is about being profitable. I don't care where you fall politically, accounts like this increase engagement and thus profit. Companies like profit so this type of thing despite being much easier than some might assert is going to be slow to do. You can have legal requirements around identification for accounts over 2K followers. It basically would never inconvience people unless they are trying to be an influencer


I kind of wish white showed up as that manila bookish paper color. I think my eyes read that better than white. But I dont mind dark mode either. I wouldn't never say its mandatory though


Like the background of Hacker News? This is why I've been using f.lux of equivalent since it first came out. Not so much because of all the blue light stuff, but because it's the better "dark mode" anyway (IMO).


Yes! I use "Dark Background and Light Text" addon for firefox, where you can set the colors yourself, which I did. I use #FFF2cc (I'd like to call it sandy) as my background color for nearly every website (even HN). (+permanent night mode, +blue light glasses that are orange-tinted, so your mileage may vary)


I use the OS provided Night Light feature everywhere for this, and my eyes are loving it. I have it set up to follow the day-night cycle, so during the day it doesn't get overly sepia.


Default background for early web was light gray specifically because black on pure white is kind of hard on the eyes.

I’m not a huge fan of dark mode on the desktop personally, but the people who claim #000000 on #FFFFFFF is equivalent to a paper book are misguided.


I think man and woman perfer different pornography, if you ever read the fiction of the month book its basically some kind of erotica but in a read format the tension is different. The primary consumer is usually woman. There is nothing wrong with that either.

I think the issue with laws like these is that there is simply no way to actually enforce that everyone uses the "legal" OS for all activities. I think we probably infantalize children way to much these day and pretend 17 year olds need 0 interaction with sex because sex bad. But its not an honest look at life and is vulcanization of puritanism. I think being unable to talk about sex in mature way has left children totally unprepared to handle things like pornagraphy which exist.

And I do understand its parental togglable setting but I think its childish to think children are not going to find ways around such things. People are sexually interested when they hit puberty which is 10-12 in girls and 12-14 in boys (roughly). Acting like they are not is stupid and plans for failure much like your describing but in a 100% uncontrolled unknown way


I never thought about the ease at which you can game non-academic aspects. I agree that testing is probabamtic because a good tutor can boost peoples performance signficantly but there feels like a limit to actually just learning the material. Useful evalation metrics of people are notoriously difficult


I love this resource it is really good one thing I'd like to see is some education games here. I am looking at DuoLingo that thing has crazy dark patterns but i think it gets written off as educational despite most people not learning a language from it. There are other ones and clearly you cannot list everything either way awesome work


The portability hit me. I was working a closed corp net that at the time didn't have python and shell was so inconsistent. But awk just worked. Sed was also a really strong tool.


Not just portability, but also stability. You can be confident your scripts will still work just the same in ten years.


Remember the ATCs never recovered from the staffing shortage when Reagan fired them for striking on working conditions. The conditions have not improved the hiring has never caught up. Rates of alcholalism from work induced stress is extremely high and they have been showing up for work while not getting paid.

Anyone who calls all public sector people lazy or entitled, remember ATCs are government workers do work extremely hard and most log extensive overtime. These are government workers and they are American Heros through and through


I get the impression that some people in Washington think all government employees are lazy and entitled.


Who do you mean? The lazy and entitled government elected representatives?


I mean how does it know that though? How would you know if the set of possible texts is garbage without running them? Honestly feels like your saying LLMs solved the halting problem as programs which seems to be dishonest granted you could probably guess with high efficiency


> I mean how does it know that though?

Not a clue. But apparently it does. Try a few nonsense texts yourself, see if it rejects them.

I'm saying that if you're spidering the whole web, then training an LLM on that corpus, asking an existing LLM "does this page make sense?" is a comparatively small additional load.

> guess with high efficiency

Yes, I think that's basically what's happening. Markov nonsense is cheap to produce, but easy to classify. A more subtle strategy might be more successful (for example someone down-thread mentions using LLM-generated text, and we know that's quite a hard thing to classify).


Probably the same way a human knows. The gap is closing and I don't necessarily love it
