Disclaimer: I’m not saying it should be different

I absolutely love how prior payments to executives/trustees escapes all scrutiny. Its like “ah we didnt get Xmillion this year there is nothing we can dooo”. Which is very responsible for personal finances. Never spend your own, use other people’s money. And in a trust it is almost impossible to do it any other way. Its still interesting to me.
If you can generate enough energy to move a planet you'd have a far easier time just making a starship big enough for your whole species. The entire biosphere of earth occupies the volume equivalent of the skin on an apple. Just accelerating earth to solar escape velocity would take 3E24 joules.
OpenAI never claims GPT-3 is an AGI, do they? If they don't, why should they pander to people who criticize it for not being one? Are there other claims they make, that have been/could/should be refuted? It's simply the most advanced text generator by far. Nothing more, nothing less.

Look, they're probably getting millions of requests. At least some of those people who are respected scientists in NLP/AI but cannot get access were almost certainly just over-looked. It was really seeing that even Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis cannot get access that pushed me over the line on this one from "be gracious, moderating access to a finite resource is hard" to "wow this is sketchy".
Eh, I dunno. I've been working with embedded Linux recently and this seems like a pretty good write-up. "ROM" might be a bit of a misnomer for re-writable non-volatile memory, but it makes sense in the context.

"Loaded into ROM" means that an external device like a laptop burns the code into non-volatile memory, it doesn't describe what the SoC does every time that it boots.

This article even explains how the A64 loads its initial boot logic into RAM, although there are a couple of extra steps thanks to the "ARM Trusted Firmware" security elements:

>Bootstrapping is complicated by initial memory address space limitations. The SPL is limited to 32 KiB, most likely because the BootROM, or BROM, loads the SPL into SRAM A1, which is a 32 KiB subsection. If the SPL is larger than 32 KiB the BROM will refuse to load it. After the SPL loads U-Boot proper and passes execution to the ATF, U-Boot proper in turn runs the Pine Phone’s u-boot command script.

So...I don't think I understand your complaint. It seems to me that the article does explain how "thr bootloader is loaded in some RAM".

What if the other business is taking benefits and agreeing to contracts, then breaks that contract? Isn’t that called a contract violation?

Epic could make their own platform to sell games on, but they want the market Apple has built and the devices Apple has created.

The courts will decide, and since for decades courts have sided with platform creators being allowed to police content and charge access fees (SEGA, Nintendo, and later Sony, all have such cases), I think Epic will lose.

Despite some claims Apple has some monopoly, their share of mobile is far too small to count as such. I expect the courts to tell Epic to sell Android only if they don’t like Apple terms.
You can use them to write much safer off-heap memory management APIs in userspace. But GHC can't do anything for free, no.
I guess you're right. I still am wary about depending on this given the current conversation about ABI evolution with C++. And given that lots of languages can interop with C I think building C interfaces between binaries buys options
Coronavirus: Germany puts on crowded concerts to study risks
I would use this in a security context.

I want to use a one-time pad with a friend. That requires generating a fully random file that I then need to send to my friend (physically).
I don't have an Ethernet port on my machine to send the file on the wire, and I don't want to rely on weaker cryptography (WiFI, aes) to send this file (basically, everything is weaker than a one-time pad).
I also don't want to leave undeletable traces of my one-time pad on a flash drive.

So what's left is the actual screen of the device, provided I don't have any hidden cameras where I live.

I could use a hard drive and then shred the secrets, but nothing is proven regarding the actual deletion of the files, and QR codes are much cooler!

Yup, exactly right. In the article, I tried to call those "trivial" NATs, because from a NAT traversal POV they might as well not exist. You do need to do a tiny bit of work to get them up and running, but once that's done, you effectively have an open port on the internet that anyone can connect to.

> But why think "statistics" precludes it from having genuine understanding to some degree. After all, there is a statistical description the human brain but that doesn't seem to preclude understanding.

It's a matter of scale. Adult human brains aren't just trained for 18 years with a static dataset - they've got hundreds of millions of years of mammalian evolution and fault tolerance built into them. Our brains self-reconfigure in response to external stimuli as we age, to the point where we can (in rare cases) lose significant fractions without becoming a vegetable. The biochemistry of a single neuron is likely oodles more complex than the most complex AI we've made.

It's like going from an analysis of a small family to an analysis of a civilization: at some point the sample size crosses a threshold and emergent phenomena start to dominate the system. Yes, it's basically all just statistics (ignoring quantum hocus pocus and the supernatural) but we still don't understand how to go from statistics to intelligence.

dabl -- delete adjacent blank lines
dtb -- delete trailing blanks
emboxxen / deboxxen -- convert to/from box drawing characters
eol -- convert line endings

mergl -- merge lines into previous lines' blanks
pad -- pad lines to a width
put / take -- cross-shell pipe
uni -- unicode character properties and search

The goal should be pushing science forward, not maximizing brand value. Enabling top scientists in the field to reproduce and probe your work is not "pandering". It's participating in the scientific process.
> That's funny. I was the opposite. When I was younger, I would just say "lets default to other people's solution to similar problems and move on" but as time went by, I've become more "let's define our problems well and find surgical solutions by others". It's a slight difference but makes a huge difference in productivity.

Because if you have a working concept of time, space, and modes of transport, you are aware that a a person has been driving for 2 hours, you can easily deduce the handful of possible towns they might arrive at. Indeed we have software that does that.

The statistical model will die to combinatorial explosion between billions of possible combinations of locations, times, and modes of transport. In various literature in 2 hours you might have travelled across town, across continents, or to the moon. Statistical approach to such problems is dumb.

> However, what I see is the user of cxx/autocxx saying "I am asserting that this API is sound."

Right now that's very implicit, and I bet there are users of the library that don't think they're asserting that. They expect you to follow the documented rules about invariants.

Requiring people to write 'unsafe' at the import site makes that a lot clearer, but if it's mandatory then people are probably going to write it whether the API is sound or not.

I'd be more comfortable if you could either declare an API sound when you import it or write 'unsafe' everywhere you call it.

Honeybees apparently have 1 million neurons compared to GPT-3's 175 billion parameters. Granted, there isn't a 1 to 1 correspondence between biological neuron and parameter. And considering much of the honeybees neuron's would be directed towards biological function and control mechanisms, whereas all of GPT-3's parameters are directed towards text prediction, the relevant expressive power of GPT-3 is plausibly much larger.
Another alternative might be to have a set of packages, 'moreutils-spnge, moreutiles-pee, ... moreutils-common, moreutils-doc', which could be installed independently, and, if desired, a 'moreutils' virtual package dependent on the whole set for simplified installation.

Debian also has namespace-collision policies and an 'alternatives' facility for deciding which of multiple implementations of a tool (gawk, nawk, mawk; vim, vim-tiny, nvi; python3, python2; etc.) is primary on a given system.

Not really.

Wikipedia doesn't 'think' that Assange or Snowden are anything. They have long articles detailing their history, and possibly what some others might think.

The World’s Growing Concrete Coasts
Well Apple is not saying it is putting their business model at risk ( it does and it should) they are saying their philosophy to user security is at risk . i.e. if Epic wins in court apple has a tough choice, either reduce their own rates substantially and / or allow alternative stores .

For all apple's flaws, having single app store is better for user security as you know who to trust, it also gives conveniently makes Apple monopoly that they exploit to make 50B+ a year.

The question is will Apple sacrifice revenu for user security or is security and privacy are only there when it makes Apple money.
It is peanuts compared with what J2ME, Symbian, Brew, Windows CE, Pocket PC, Blackberry stores used to ask for.

I'm a developer who sells on Steam. With a 12% commission instead of 30%, my actual profits would be about 50% higher and I would invest more money into post-release updates and support, and pay my staff bonuses.

People are generally supportive of gamedev workers getting better deals and paid more - let me tell you the quickest way that could happen is if all these platform commissions were lowered.

The headline doesn’t really reflect the post body. The author is advocating for writing your own software tools for your own personal note taking and organizational use.

First off, their tools are very beautiful from the screenshots, and if they work for them great! However I can only think of the time liability they are (they even wrote the language they are written in). I can only imagine how much time this person sinks into making them. If that’s what you love doing great! But for the vast majority of people that’s not reasonable. They are pretending that it’s a high productivity approach. It’s not.

Productivity = results / time

Spending a few dollars (equivalent to working for an hour lets say) and getting a high quality tool that would take you months to build yourself, is the high productivity solution. Many tools allow a high degree of customization and plugins, which allows people to really make it their own as well.

I think that you grossly overestimate the median (or lower) teenager’s ability to behave responsibly when unsupervised.

Note that the median teenager (or lower), while possibly college-bound, is not really qualified for college and is not very academically inclined. Also note that they are decidedly not middle class or higher. They are constantly pushing and testing boundaries without the received wisdom to know when they have gone too far.

One of my biggest criticisms of modern day K-12 education, especially high school, is that it is mostly glorified baby sitting given the low amount of learning that takes place at the lower-end schools. The high school curriculum that we use today is roughly based on the same curriculum from late 1800s to early 1900s when only about 6% of people graduated from high school, and pretty much all of them went to college or a two-year school of some sort. High school was specifically designed to cater to college bound students.

A variant of this curriculum is used today even though approximately half of college-age students don’t go to college (including most high school dropouts). The curricular mismatch is a joke, and the only real reason high school can be justified for these students is, unfortunately, tax-funded babysitting.
Of course Google also kicked them out of their store for the same reason...
> asking for an under the table deal

How is it under the table? Apple's secret 15% deal with Amazon can go unnoticed, but everyone in the world would notice if Epic suddenly came out with an alternative app store on iOS.
It does wonders on game consoles, which Epic isn't suing, rather they even proudly do PS5 demos.

Keeping sync performant at Dropbox
X-as-a-service platforms that allow companies to perform segments of their oprations either with ease, or outsource it.

It's been the big thing for a while, but still continues to grow.

Basically, these are tools to make it faster and faster to spin up a business from scratch, by allowing those companies to focus more on the product itself rather than refactorable non-essentials. They may also offer value-added features such as "network effect" ability to optimize that packaged solutions, or a platform that allows them to provide quicker no code/low code Analytics to identify trends to be able to make business decisions accordingly.

Examples of companies that do this.

* AWS (infrastructure)
* Salesforce
* Azure
* Pagerduty
* Splunk
* DevOps as a service companies
* HR as a service
