Brand recognition? Customer goodwill? Not everything needs to be outright profitable. Google has a lot of money to spend on sending small gifts in random directions. Source: as a Googler I got paid to literally "go find some vulnerable projects on Github and send a PR to patch them"[1]. Google does not make money in any way from things like that, but keeps doing them, just because they can.

If you dive into the crypto world. There's a ton of cons that promise the world just to bump up the cost.

A quick way to make a buck was to look at the dates for crypto roadmap announcement, launch or white paper. Buy crypto a week before, then sell a day before the announcement before everyone else buys in.

This become so popular many coins where created just for this purpose. They would claim the world as the next bitcoin. Then after the announcement, seized to exist.

That brings us to this post. They're using Haskell as the 'new tech' to pump and dump coins.

There's so many scam coins out there. It really shows you how stupid the whole thing is.

Lots of the comments here are criticising this decision on the basis of News Corporation's very clear political involvement. While I share their sentiment regarding News Corporation and their blatant partisanship, I would like to highlight that Facebook is not an apolitical entity. My view is that anyone concerned about the blatant partisan politics of the Australian news media should be equally concerned about the political overreach of big tech. The latter being far more equipped for the propagation of information benefiting their own agenda.

I think you're drastically underestimating the scale (and number - you missed Google Maps, which is bordering on an essential service) of these systems, the degree to which people rely on them - both businesses and individuals - and the difficulty of replacing them.

I don't know how old you are but I suspect this is an age thing. I remember the world before Google, before smartphones, before mobile phones even. It actually worked pretty well. People had jobs, traveled, communicated over long distances, read the news, invested in shares, organised events with friends, bought products, and everything else. Google at vast cost has made some of those things marginally more convenient, as well as introducing a whole raft of new problems. They could go away and it would be a blip nothing more. As for Google Maps I also remember when everyone owned an "A-Z" and found their way around cities with it, and that was OK too, and there was very little misleading information in an A-Z nor squabbles over who "owned" which business and could write about it!

If Google failed overnight it would be a macro-economically significant event.

Other than their shareholders and a bunch of sleazy adtech merchants without which the world would be better off anyway, very few would be negatively impacted beyond a minor inconvenience for a few weeks.
>It's easier to argue it's not GPT-3 that's advanced, but it's humans that are simple.

Many of the arguments made by GPT sceptics are alarmingly close to the intelligent design argument against evolution. If a really dumb process with countless billions of iterations can produce human beings, why couldn't a different dumb process eventually produce human-level machine intelligence? Until the curve of progress shows some signs of flattening, I'm not going to speculate about what GPT-4 or GPT-5 will or won't be able to do.

How would the attacker get something from memory or disk? Malware? If there's malware involved I don't consider that credential phishing. It's a matter of debate whether malware can be considered a form of phishing. Maybe I should be been more clear that U2F stops credential phishing, not malware phishing (if that even exists).

I guess one option would be to ask the victim to read out the token from memory or disk. That seems pretty hard though. It's debatable whether that would be considered credential phishing.

A more likely method would be to trick someone into going into devtools and copy and pasting something from there, possibly a curl command, like in this epic "bug report"[1]. That's also debatable whether it would be credential phishing.

I agree on extending the point past statistics. When we talk a lot about schooling tha should prepare kids for the world, that talk is usually directed at work-ready type skills. Coding, resume writing, etc.

We really need to update our fundamentals, near the epistemological level.

My wife is a native Thai speaker, fluent in English, but if the speaker is speaking quickly and not clearly, it's very frustrating for her to follow along (especially if the speakers themselves are non-native speakers, or speaking with an Australian accent). Most of the automated subtitles on Youtube seem heavily biased toward high-school level vocabulary, so if the speaker is using more rare words, making literary references, or using some of the more common Latin / Greek / French phrases imported into English (medical/technical terminology, etc.), the subtitles can be very misleading. The automated subtitles are also generally garbage at catching proper nouns, often replacing them with rhyming phrases of common words.

At least the garbage is pretty consistent, so I can pause the videa and tell my wife that the phrase X Y Z in the subtitles is actually A B. (The number of syllables is almost always correct, but often the number of words is not.)

On a side note, it's not YouTube, and it's translation instead of strait subtitling, but I've seen some pretty bad English subtitles for Netflix's La Casa de Papel (Money Heist). I don't know a lot of Spanish, but I do remember a few times the translations were very odd and I realized the translator was translating a person's surname from Spanish into its English meaning, and not capitalizing it. It would have been just fine leaving the name untranslated, as my wife and I could both clearly make out the names of the characters. I presume a human translator would know not to translate names. I hope the subtitles I saw were third-party subtitles where someone ran Spanish subtitles through Google Translate.

That's like saying we've had abakuses since forever therefore these computers will never be revolutionary. Quantitative change by orders of magnitude is qualitative change.

Imagine a world where you ask your smartphone to make you a death metal song about fishing and feminism in Australia and to use Freddy Mercury voice and jazz harmonies and it does that on the fly and generates something objectively good.

Wouldn't that be revolutionary for music? Because it's entirely possible in the next decade. Probable even.

> More likely your having to work by converting a kitchen table (wrong height) or your bed room if say you live in a 1 bed flat.

> Its even worse if your in a couple or a flat share where several people are competing for space and wifi

Again, we refer back to "it depends". My partner and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment, we now have dedicated proper-sized desks in the living room and in the spare room.

Appreciate not everyone has the space to do that, but that's kinda the point. I'm not really an advocate for full time remote myself, I think agile working is the best of both worlds.

The company has an office with maybe 50% desk capacity for employees, then employees cycle in and out throughout the week on a cadence that suits them. Everything's still set up to be remote-first (virtual meetings, no massive in-person all-hands etc...) but you can choose to use an office or your home. Or a coffee shop, or an airport lounge, or a park, or...

(and in before "what if everyone comes in on the same day" - I used to work in a place that had 60% the number of desks for employees, I never once struggled to find a place to sit. To the extent they're subletting a whole floor due to lack of usage).

There's also nothing stopping companies paying a coworking stipend to those that want it in lieu of an office. And booking out a large conference hall once a year for everyone to come together.

Essentially, most things are at least semi-solvable and no decision on the future of work should be taken based solely on how we've currently set ourselves up.
>Obviously they can't just keep scaling up the number of parameters or working memory size.

If they manage to scale it to just a hundred times bigger, and the qualitative increase in "intelligence" is the same as that gained by the previous 100x increase in scale, that might be good enough for "real" intelligence. And 100x scaling is certainly feasible within five years, if people keep throwing resources at it.
This is a great milestone. Well done, I hope you succeed in your goal.

It is very hard to control your dependencies when you use a framework or a transpiler in JS. They bring in tons of other packages which have their own dependencies and so on.

This has also opened a new dangerous attack vector where hackers take over a small forgotten component used by many nodejs packages and inject malicious code into projects without anyone noticing.
I think their main problem is going to far on advertising. For instance mentioned amazon...

Google search is lately getting so much noise that it is hard to find anything relevant.

Even if you actually search for some product, you are flooded with pages and pages of products and it is just too much to do any informed decision.

So I will rather use amazon.

Regarding what went wrong: same as always - stocks. Immediately when you allow people who have no interest in company but are only money oriented, "enter" the company by buying stocks, you will get huge pressure to earn money for them and what you actually do is second to profit. Then the slow dying of thousand cuts begins. Product quality goes down, everything that can be monetized will be, manager bonuses for yearly results doesnt help either.

Google has lost identity. They are just a huge ads bussiness now (if you look structure of their profit). Everything is second to that. And aws and azure surely doesnt help them. Or search that is becoming useless.

I really hope it wont go down as something like private data of people that google stockpiled for years might get on sale - and no one wants that to happen.

Adopting Kubernetes for Your Business IT Infrastructure
Ultimately music is a language. Again, there are plenty of arguments about the benefits of learning (a) new language(s).

That said, I don't think teachers can argue in good faith that learning a particular will make you smarter versus learning another. Are multilingual people more intelligent than monolingual? Are people fluent in Ruby smarter than those fluent in PHP?

A better argument would be, learning music could potentially unlock the ability to learn new languages. Debatable, but I'd agree with that.

There is a difference, though, between learning something as a hobby, which is what most people learning music do, and mastering an instrument, which is a lifelong pursuit. The pursuits different, and so are the rewards. Learning something as a hobby will provide benefits, but none that can be associated with gaining more intelligence.
For some reason, back in 2010 bunches of geologists really hated this idea and desperately tried to suppress it, going so far as to--apparently!--deliberately fail to replicate findings, and then report that as if the original findings had been fabricated.

The latter have since been replicated by dozens of researchers. Throughout the Western hemisphere, a thin layer exactly the same age everywhere is black with charcoal and laced with platinum-enriched melted particles and nanodiamonds.
I hate these marketing ideas.

I actually tell vendors to strip the first 20% of their presentation because I am not interested in their history and learning that security is important (my pro topic).

I also tell them I will have extremely technical questions so they better have a technical guy.

Lastly, I tell them I will need their pricing.

About 50% of companies actually follow what I am asking them. About 10% is genuinely glad to go that way and we often contract.

I had one company once coming with a demo disk array (ca. late 90's). They told me that nothing can break their RAID technology so I just pulled a disk out and everything crashed. They told me that this is not the way I am supposed to behave and they will not do business with inconsiderate people.

They were so disappointed in me that it was borderline touching. These were the pre-powerpoint times and companies would send knowledgeable people. We ended not buying their product but stayed in touch.

>How is that relevant when we were taking about people with US and Swiss citizenship?

It is relevant because if you are for instance a FR-US dual citizen (because for instance you were born in the US while your parents were working there as an expat for a few years), you can freely settle in Switzerland (CH-EU free movement agreement). In any cases you have to do your IRS stuff whatever the amount you are earning so this is already a problem and if you work in IT you salary will easily get over 100k which potentially trigger amount to pay (even with the high tax rate of CH). My colleague in front of me, was a US citizen because he was in this exact situation, and was tired of all the paperwork required by his US citizenship (and the fact that all the banks were considering him as a liability). So if you don't intend to live in the US, having a US citizenship is a problem for a lot of people, and if you have to pay for it, it becomes a burden (including all UE/CH-US dual citizen living in CH).

Anyway all of this to say that about 25% of the worldwide US renunciation are taking place in CH, so this figure alone prove that this is a problem in this country.
As a European I'm very far removed from all this and don't really care either way.

Someone really needs to make an anomaly filter for logs so data storage becomes miniscule for the purpose of anomaly detection, one Jacky way would be to preload a compression dict with bad strings from the binary, another would be to use something like hyperminhash to spit out low similarity strings.

Perhaps there wouldn't be so many "content creators" if tech/the Internet hadn't destroyed their livelihoods over the past 20+ years. Authors, journalists, photographers, the list goes on and on.

Masks reduce spread of the virus by already infected people. They work because even people who don't even know they are sick are wearing them from the beginning to the end of their infection. When it comes to exponential growth it doesn't matter if the masks reduce infection rate by 10%, 1% or even 0.1%. Alternatively, even if masks don't work physically there is a psychological component to wearing masks that can reduce the infection rate by reminding people that there is a virus out there and as long as you are wearing the mask you should be extra careful.
Their business model is/was selling users' data. I met several sales teams at Opera back in the 2010s while I worked with one of the world biggest smartphone seller (i.e we chose which app to preinstall on zillions Android devices). They had no shame explaining in details how we and our partners data could use the data to profit against their very own users. How could one imagine using their product after such cynical presentation? I wish this was better known.
Be the change you want to see. If all y'all do is sit around and complain that there isn't a community instead of joining the small community that already exists and growing it, well big surprise, it won't grow (at least not as quickly).
