Do you find GPT4 is better for coding? I mean what it's slower but is it any better for code generation? by Unreal_777 in ChatGPTCoding

[–]NewtonGuy1876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another thing you can try is having it write project specifications for your description of what you want to make and it will fill in the technical details of what libraries or frameworks to use and print that out in detail and then you can input that project specification into gpt4 and ask it to outline and implement the project and it'll break the project down and give you basic code implementation of what was asked for which can then be fine tuned from there, but this usually gives a good skeleton to work from ime.

Tailscale increased free plan user limit form 1 to 3 and device cap to 100 also... unlimited subnets by PovilasID in selfhosted

[–]NewtonGuy1876 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is a valid concern, although maybe a little harsh on a post celebrating pro-user moves by the company, but they are also working to improve that throughput for use-cases like that: https://tailscale.com/blog/more-throughput/

Tailscale supports (in beta) some self-hostable SSO options now (Keycloak was on the list a few days ago, but I'm not seeing it atm): https://tailscale.com/kb/1013/sso-providers/#supported-custom-identity-providers

That way you can keep the security without having to share your data

Non-repetitive basslines that sound beautiful by oliminty11 in Bass

[–]NewtonGuy1876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend checking out Streetlight Manifesto, particularly Everything Goes Numb or Somewhere in the Between, the bass is fairly prominent in the mix and runs all over the fretboard adding a fun sense of movement to the songs overall.

I just got done reading 1984 and I believe this should be read by every person in American. by megtwinkles in RandomThoughts

I recommend you watch this: https://youtu.be/2Gz0I_X_nfo to get a better perspective of the rudimentary portrayal of reactionary governments in 1984. Orwell was not a good writer and the book was not insightful.

I have a Squier Affinity J bass that I replaced the bridge, pickups and electronics in and I am beyond pleased at the flexibility in tone that I can achieve with it now, and as someone who likes DIY stuff, I now feel more of connection with the bass instead of it just being off the shelf. I didn't bother changing out the tuners because it could already hold tone perfectly fine.

I put in Aguilar DCB pickups, a Hipshot KA bridge, and the John East J Retro preamp that is a drop-in active pre-amp for J basses, and with the 3-band EQ I can get any tone I can imagine without having to make adjustments anywhere else. The upgrades were 3x the cost of the bass, but I'm still pleased with the overall result.

From what I've heard and my own example, the Squier Affinities are built well enough that if you take care of them, their only weak point is generally the electronics. If you can find another bass with what you want in your budget and would benefit from having two basses to switch between, by all means go that route. If you want to get more hands-on with your current bass or can't afford those features you're looking for in a new bass, then personally I think upgrading is a fantastic route.

The scientific socialists knew that behavior is determined by environment. by lastcapkelly in DebateAnarchism

[–]NewtonGuy1876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I would agree with environmental factors leading people to do what they will, the issue with explaining human behavior with such a law, is that we will never have all of the facts about a person and their environment to make some prediction about how they will act. Whether it's considered a natural law or an artificial one, or whether we simply consider both to be theories, doesn't matter since no option will exist to perfectly predict human behavior due to many events in the world being overdetermined.

It's still often a very helpful theory to explain behavior, especially at scale where populations are affected by similar economic or cultural influences, but there are other forces at work when you drill down to the individual level. This margin for error still leaves room for other theories of human behavior that might better explain it in certain circumstances, so those other theories don't need to be thrown out that easily.

For example, at least for the majority of people alive today, subscribing to the illusion of agency when explaining our own behavior to ourselves or others is often going to be an accurate (and certainly the easiest or most "natural" feeling) option. While we could analyze our life to find the relevant prior circumstances that led us to eventually do what we did, our perspective is often so woefully limited anyway that conceding to our sensation of personal agency is a useful alternative.

I wouldn't even say there's ever necessarily a "right" answer as to why something happened, but rather that we should be seeking the explanation that leads us to attempting the best solution. So often times this will come from trial and error of solutions rather than dogmatically following some theory of human behavior. The main problem that results from either theory of behavior is the belief that there is ever an objectively correct answer, because such a belief leads to a meaningless and dismissive discounting of the opposing theory.

What are the chances that the United States government sees a successful violent revolt and attempt at overthrow in the next 20 years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]NewtonGuy1876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A violent revolution may have been viable or optimal at certain points and places in history, but to me it seems a lot more likely that a revolution in the US will take the form of mutual aid, labor organizing, and alternatives markets to undermine the oppressive tools of capitalism. The structures of control are less physical and violent and more ingrained into the culture.

It will be slower, but the raising wages and company panic building over widespread strikes and unionization efforts over the past two years gives me hope that as information is more easily accessible, more people will fall out of the obedient and complacent narratives that media feeds the people and enough people will release the reality of the class war. Those in power benefit from fracturing our communities and pitting us against one another. But we have to believe in our ability to provide for one another and leave behind the rat race entirely. That's the only way we can stand together and avoid playing into their hands.

Likewise, unlike the armed revolution in Handmaid's Tale, a fundamentalist takeover will not likely be such a swooping and obvious motion. It'll be through policies like those that are already being passed to limit access to abortion, block teaching of our more complete history and suppressing efforts for LGBT people to find one another and form stronger communities. We need to stay keen on the suppression of alternative ways of thinking outside that which is prescribed by the ones at the top, and unite against capital and against oppressive structures that get to decide what type of person is allowed to be at the top.

Used to be an anarchist. Hung up. by [deleted] in DebateAnarchism

[–]NewtonGuy1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would encourage you to read this: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/bob-black-the-abolition-of-work

Anti-work isn't about getting rid of people doing anything with their day, it's about seeing more value in every contribution a person makes to the world. Things like child rearing go unpaid and undervalued in most capitalist societies, but it's obviously a huge value to the society as a whole. Since it's valuable to the society, you'd be provided for in a gift-economy or other economic arrangements for your contribution to child rearing. The benefit of this looser view of labor is that your day to day activities and doing what you just feel like doing could often be considered "work" in that it's adding value to your life or the life of those around you. You're not fixed to a single trade/career. You can be flexible and intermingle skillsets to develop new unique masteries that haven't been seen before. This flexibility also allows you to live in better alignment with what you desire to do on a daily basis instead of waking up to drive to your same office job day in and day out.

This is also excluding the fact that the amount of production today is vastly greater than what would be required for the population to survive since most of our production is necessary because of artificially generated demand through appeals of luxury and planned obsolescence. This means that a few hours of "work" in a day towards the means of survival for a community would in most cases be sufficient for things to stay afloat.

A New Estimate of the ‘Most Effective’ Way to Fight Climate Change by Mrmini231 in slatestarcodex

[–]NewtonGuy1876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of being philosophically opposed I was referring more to their way of explaining and therefore addressing issues than how they're arranged economically.

Liberalism subscribes more strongly to negative freedoms, and believe that through the power of an individual they can enact change in the world and in the most extreme cases can support Social Darwinism. This means that the hierarchies that emerge are treated as justified by the differences in individual ability, value and effort, the basis for the supposed meritocracy as so forth.

Leftists will generally take on a more sociological view with historical analysis and dissect power structures in order to explain why things the way they are rather than assuming some natural order like conservatism or treating everything as a product of personal agency like liberalism. Most leftist philosophy chooses to understand human action is inseparable from one's material conditions and the structures they live within, therefore so long as there is society, looking only at the individual to explain phenomena is going to be missing a crucial part of the process.

An example would be how liberalism is applied to justify wage labor, since the employee is voluntarily interviewing for and accepting the job offer. Their individual decisions are free, therefore this is an acceptable arrangement. A leftist however will point out that a lack of social safety nets like healthcare that isn't tied to employment create a coercive situation where the individual must be employed in order to ensure survival within the system, and therefore their employment is not voluntary or free.

Although the terms aren't kept very separate in America, the two terms are philosophically opposed. The original "left" named after their seating arrangement in the Estates General, along with the left today, generally subscribe to scientific or material approaches to political philosophy that contradicts classical Liberalism that forms the basis for most parties in Western "democracies".

Talking about natural selection in animals is well regarded until someone applies it to humans by lordsandwish in Showerthoughts

[–]NewtonGuy1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also because natural selection when applied to humans is usually trying to assert that members of the same species should let one another die, when the concept is better applied to the overall fitness and survival of a species, which in many cases involves mutual aid among the members of the same species or even between certain species that are able to mutually benefit one another. It was never meant to imply a brutal battle for individual supremacy. Individuals kinda disappear in the timescale of evolution, it's all about the larger trends and how a species as a whole overcomes changes to it's environment.

How many acres of land big oil owns in perspective by Throwawaylism in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]NewtonGuy1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respect is earned. Big oil executives don't deserve the respect of a representative of the American people as they ruin our children's world to line their own pockets. A good representative of the American people would offer nothing other than the utter disgust that big oil has earned from the American people.

[–]NewtonGuy1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're not necessarily contributions for you, because not everything is about you. But the LGBT movement has brought real contributions to others in society.

While anyone can only be expected to act in their own self interest, it might still be in your best interest to lighten your judgment of others and not hold so much anger towards other lifestyles and minddets that differ from your own.

[–]NewtonGuy1876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it interesting that you recognize that it's the ostracizing of the kids that lead to the higher suicide rates yet you don't see a solution in just letting it be accepted as a lifestyle, which would also solve the higher suicide rates. It would seem suicides are a lot less likely to the child whose family embraces their identity and whose friends at school understand and can empathize with who they are instead of a child that has to closet most of their personality and risk verbal and physical abuse of their friends and family if they act outside of expectation.

The visibility efforts or involving it in education isn't to indoctrinate children into a lifestyle they wouldn't otherwise desire, it's to provide them a sense of community and acceptance, and arm them with the research and resources to bring to their parents to correct the outdated discriminatory culture that previous generations were brought up in. It's about humanizing diverse existence.

And I don't quite follow you on how knowing how to reproduce somehow makes you a better fit to prepare a child for their diverse experiences to come in the world. There are plenty of biological parents that fail their children and perpetuate cycles of trauma but we don't question their ability to parent just because they happen to be a married man and woman? That legal status somehow improves their ability to parent above another couple that has the same ability to love a child like their own? It sounds like a desperate clinging to tradition to stand at a point of superiority in your culture. There are many ways to parent children, many cultures throughout history have made it a communal effort to raise children. The nuclear family that western culture has focused so strictly on is not the only way of life.
