Non human identity management will definitely be a huge issue in the future...excited to see how players in the field will tackle this. E.g. Entro/Okta
"Claiming, then, the use of the ordinary faculties of the mind in ordinary things, let me next endeavour to point out what appears to me to be a great deficiency in the exercise of the mental powers in every direction; three words will express this great want, deficiency of judgment. I do not wish to make any startling assertion, but I know that in physical matters multitudes are ready to draw conclusions who have little or no power of judgment in the cases; that the same is true of other departments of knowledge; and that, generally, mankind is willing to leave the faculties which relate to judgment almost entirely uneducated, and their decisions at the mercy of ignorance, prepossessions, the passions, or even accident." - Faraday lecture
Well the issue isn't about acquiring the knowledge in general. I think so far in my learning journey I've come to realize that "practical learning" is much better than learning in the hopes that something will be useful. For instance, almost everyone in the American education system at some point was forced to memorize that one mol of gas occupies 22.4 L at STP but almost noone will ever use that knowledge again.
Going through the actual real world issues of web development with an LLM on the side that you can query for any issue is infinitely more valuable than taking a course in web development imo because you actually learn how to DO the things, instead of getting a toolbox which half of the items you don't use ever and a quarter of which you have no idea how to functionally use. I strongly support learning by doing and I also think that the education system should be changed in support of that idea.
We are now in a world where the common layman can get their hands on a GPT (a GPT that is predicted to be equivalent to a pHD in intelligence soon), instead of the person scrolling hugging face and churning out their custom built models.
I think in the future it'll be pretty interesting to see how this changes regular blue collar or secretarial work. Will the next future of startups be just fresh grads looking for B2B ideas that eliminate the common person?
I strongly disagree, I was able to learn so much about web development by using AI, it streamlines the entire knowledge gathering and dissemination process. By asking for general overviews then poking into the specifics of why things work the way they do, its possible to get an extremely functional and practical knowledge of almost any application of programming. For the driven and ambitious hacker, LLMs are practically invaluable when it comes to self learning. I think you have a case where you're simply dealing with the classic self-inflicting malady of laziness.
What would be the use case of this? I have a remarkable 2 and there's the official Read on Remarkable extension that automatically sends a pdf of the page you're on or the book or whatever to your Remarkable. I'm not sure if it works on Remarkable 1 but there isn't any documentation on it being unsupported.
I wonder if folks get amber alerts if they only use satellite based connectivity. I'm willing to be that Apple will have it automatically enabled in iOS 18.
The difference that I'm seeing personally and the initial appeal was that he was more open about the science and the results of it. If you go through the site you can see pretty good documentation about different supplements and what their intended purpose was. However, I do think some of the luster of the open-source model he had kind of disappeared when he started selling products which is a double edged sword in the sense that it does somewhat certify the quality of the product but also chips at his ethos.
I wonder if they could send the messages to certain counties that are actually relevant to the "breaking" news. Geography based sorting of phone numbers to what I assume must be addresses could be a security issue though so not entirely sure. A better solution could be alert settings that would alert for violent crimes/amber alerts/natural disasters(which should never have the option to be disabled) and maybe a downtime period during the night similar to do not disturb mode on iOS devices that only have exceptions for natural disasters. A system that robust would need integration with individual phone manufacturers like airplane mode which has proven to be efficient.
I've seen a number of byproducts of the "Blue Zone trend" namely in youtube videos and dinner party conversations from so called health experts. The creator of Blue Zones (Dan Buettner) does seem to profit off of this as well, one quick look at the website shows a Blue Zone cooking course sale and other marketing schemes that could trap the unwary. https://www.bluezones.com/about/history/
I'm not questioning whether or not the intent was malicious but he does stand to gain quite a lot. Happy to see this being exposed. In a semi related sense I highly recommend checking out Bryan Johnson's (founder of Braintree Venmo) Blueprint protocol, I've been following his work for a number of years now and it is scientifically backed although the for profit arm of his initiative just reared its (ugly?) head recently with him selling supplements and dietary goods that are vetted by his agency.
I assumed that the Sogdian script iself was the cheeky part. I imagine if they had just lost a war to the Khotanese it would've been quite the inside joke of the time.
I was also thinking the same thing. It should have been easy to parse for it because they were only checking articles in C anyways. Some frustrated coders could vent some rage against the machine in comments.
Stay repeat indulge enjoy
