And there's no clear way to adjust for the most basic factor that people who vote for one candidate are less likely to say so.

In order to account for that, you need you know how many people who are less likely to respond are voting for that candidate. And then you're back to square one.

This is why professional polls have had a consistent bias over the last few years, as this hidden unobservable factor's effect has gotten stronger and stronger.


And even the best pollsters, who over decades learn to correct for drift like that, get blown up by a sea-change that they didn't expect.


Those are issues with Asahi, but batter life is great on a Framework 13 pro, or anything with the new Panther Lake chipset.


Does it block ads in youtube videos?


Yes.


The MV3 API isn't enough to block YouTube ads on their own, but Safari ad blockers which also include web extension API blocking can see enough traffic to block YT ads. 1Blocker does this, and even StopTheMadness Pro's blocking have enough flexibility to do it.


For this stuff, I'm most excited about https over iroh.

- https://github.com/aflin/iroh-webproxy

- https://github.com/n0-computer/iroh-proxy-utils

No port forwarding. No public IP required. No special proxy to set up.

Iroh already runs public relays. Your two computers will signal through those, and then port-knock and form a direct connection to each other, perfectly encrypted.

We just need to define a new https:// url, like ... let's call it "irohttps://" maybe, so then you could contact my laptop with "irohttps:///path?query".


>and then port-knock and form a direct connection to each other, perfectly encrypted.

so... ICE/TURN/STUN ? Sorry I forgot which one of them actually works, but they do work


Yes, and TLS/QUIC/Wireguard all offer encryption.

What toomim is excited about is this combination of technologies, and that's more than just NAT punching or encryption.


"Iroh already runs public relays."

That's not "self-hosting"

Last I checked this project also automatically forwards traffic through their servers when direct connections fail

It's not even peer-to-peer


You can run your own relay server, see "Setup Relay Server" below

https://github.com/rustonbsd/iroh-ssh/blob/main/CUSTOM_RELAY...


As indicated by the quote, I'm responding to the statement "Iroh already runs public relays."

AFAIK, the project does not claim these relays are only for testing

As such, the project is promoting something other self-hosting

The OP relates to self-hosting


iroh-ssh works today: https://github.com/rustonbsd/iroh-ssh

Not perfectly, but good enough for port forwarding web interfaces through cgnat


Where doesn't Iroh work well?


We can be more specific than "the incentives are wrong in Academia", because we know what the incentive is: it's peer-review.

The problem is that today's peer review, while better than nothing, is far from a perfect judge of research quality. If peer-review was a perfect judge of research quality, there would be no incentive problem. The incentives would be aligned.

I happen to be working on an improvement to peer review. An early prototype can be viewed at https://peeryview.org/about. Holler at me if you're also working on this problem!


I don't think peer review is the only problem, or even the main problem, and is not directly related to the misalignment of incentives.

We can tweak the process, but for better or worse peer review (in various forms) has been the principle metric of quality since the enlightenment.


Some suggestions for peer reviewers, from someone at the front line: https://deevybee.blogspot.com/2026/08/acceleration-of-arms-r...


Yes, I need a recommendation, too! I'm currently living with loud A/C-noise fans and need to swap them out for something better, and I don't know where to look.


Artificial General Intelligence.

It means AI that is General, as in it is not specific to one narrow task, like object recognition or playing chess.

This was a hard problem for decades. No AI was general, until GPT 3 or 4. Now we have General AI.

So we have AGI.


That is part of it but the other (often implied) part is it can do general things consistently at a high level.

GPT6 will attempt to do almost any problem you can give it in text or image format and it will actually do a decent job a lot of the time. But its performance is still extremely spiky and it still makes basic mistakes and hallucinations.

So it's definitely a general artificial intelligence in some sense but it's kind of a weird one compared to the classic scifi idea


But oddly not weird compared to other classic ideas of entities like genies and monkey paws


That's gAI (general Artificial Intelligence), not AGI, which would be something like Data.


> ceding more power to agentic AI will eventually reduce the primacy of the CCP’s ideological control.

Yeah, right.


This is dumb politics. Go away.
