<p>In his interview with Theo Von when asked what he wants his legacy to be and how he wants to be remembered, Sam said something to the effect of: “I don’t think about how I will be remembered I just want to have impact.” I think that’s naive and leads to having, uh, negative impact.<p>I don’t think history will smile upon him. Always good to think about how you want people to feel about your impact on them.<p><a href="https://youtu.be/aYn8VKW6vXA" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/aYn8VKW6vXA</a></p>

<p>What kinds of middle policies would you like to see?<p>Genuine question. This is a surprising opinion to me because I see the democrats as a center left largely moderate party. Agreed that the democrat candidates are appalling and generally show no conviction.</p>

<p>Your language suggests you’re an ideological supporter of trump but I’m curious:<p>What exactly is being imposed by anthropic?<p>This is from the anthropic letter:<p>> We held to our exceptions for two reasons. First, we do not believe that today’s frontier AI models are reliable enough to be used in fully autonomous weapons. Allowing current models to be used in this way would endanger America’s warfighters and civilians. Second, we believe that mass domestic surveillance of Americans constitutes a violation of fundamental rights.<p>Do you see these views as “left wing”? Or what do you disagree with here?</p>

<p>The police also killed 19 people but your comment doesn’t mention that.<p>In addition the military has not taken over, but currently seems to be honoring the demand of the protestors for new leadership and addressing the widespread corruption in the nation.<p>It’s too early to call, to be sure. But I’m hopeful that there can be a peaceful transition from here towards something better for Nepal.</p>

<p>This reads to me as a somewhat quaint snapshot of politics from 30 years ago.<p>What the author is getting at is the overlapping of the bundles of individual policy stances that we give the label of a single ideology, the folding of the left-right political axis through higher dimensional space. People who agree on some things disagree on others and the old categories become less useful.<p>These days I think JREG is doing good work tracking political categories if you’re interested and don’t mind some irony-poisoned jargon check him out.</p>

<p>I like a lot of the redesign suggestions but how much of that is a result of cards vs no-cards. For example removing the tags and using colored words ("privacy") could still be a good move while keeping cards.<p>I'm not super educated as a UI designer though can someone help me better understand the distinction?</p>

<p>I've been at companies where the company itself has no code assets but depends on a bunch of 3rd party enterprise services to run the core business. Brings up the question of how to measure how much code you have: if you depend on a legacy saas provider, do their lines of code count as your liability?</p>

<p>I’m interested in the alternative YouTube front ends like Pinchflat and Glance mentioned here. Ideally I’d avoid scrolling the YouTube homepage while still giving views and likes/subscribed to the creators I watch, because it helps support them (to what degree exactly I’m not sure but it seems like the right thing to do). I do find the archiving/downloading case meaningful as well, since a few yt vids that I enjoyed have been taken down over the years.<p>But.. reducing mindless scrolling while still giving me a way to follow content I care about seems good.<p>Does anyone have experience with using these? Are there alternate tools which are better than the ones listed here?</p>

<p>I'm interested in trying this out and started to go through the login flow for youtube, for some reason it opens in a tab within the Grayjay app which then means I can't use Google's passkey auth, and something is even preventing me from copy/pasting my Google password in from my password manager (it's too long for me to want to type out just to try the app.)<p>Gentle feedback to open the auth flow in the default browser, might make things easier.</p>

<p>I was lucky to meet this giraffe and its creator in 2016. It’s quite impressive and clearly a labor of love. Has strong home garage hacker vibes. The creator was excited to show us around and answered any technical questions we had.<p>One aspect which stood out was that the head and other parts had touch sensitive “pet” detector cells each of which consisted a short, inch wide plastic flap connected at its base to some internal circuitry and held out from the base at a slight angle to resemble a sort of robotic fur equivalent. When you brushed your hand on them, the giraffe reacted and either nuzzled its head a bit, made some sounds, etc<p>Anyway I only briefly browsed the site so I’m not sure if he goes into more detail there. It’s cool to see this blast from the past and I wonder what the creator is up to nowadays.</p>
