I wonder if apple could have their cake and eat it too.

i.e. if you don't want to pay their normal rates, you can get lower rates, but you are not discoverable in the app store. i.e. you are in the app store, there is a way for companies to directly link to it, and open in store (or perhaps itunes, and perhaps only itunes if apple really wants to make it difficult). So you lose all the advertising value of the app store, but you get to pay apple lower rates.

For companies like Epic with fortnite, perhaps that would be a reasonable tradeoff, but I'd imagine its not a tradeoff most app makers would be willing to make.

I wonder how much revenue apple would lose from apps that are willing to opt out of discoverability.
Are we reading the same title?

And who are you quoting? The article doesn't include the word 'poisons' at all.
The odds favor Andromeda, yes. But depending on just how rare intelligent life is, there is some possibility that we have a lucky head start.

As for fleeing: The whole concept of "fleeing" assumes a civilization composed of discrete beings that are expensive to reproduce but can be feasibly transported. The idea of Von Neumann probes is based on a different assumption. The probe itself is very small, maybe only a few pounds, but is designed to expand using the resources at its destination. There probably aren't discrete beings -- computers can freely exchange "memories" over networks which makes them effectively all one big hive mind. The hive mind directly controls everything it builds. Eventually the entire star system -- perhaps the entire galaxy or universe -- becomes effectively one giant intelligent being as all available resources are assimilated.

This civilization would certainly send probes to neighboring galaxies if it has the ability to, but it makes no sense to think about transporting the "inhabitants" (if you can even call them that) of one star system to another en masse.
Well I was asking for technology/market, not ideas. Unlike most people who say ideas are worth nothing, i do believe both ideas and execution matter. That said, just sharing information on what market looks attractive and what tech looks promising is not even an "idea".
A tour of Angular for web developers
FWIW I use Homebrew Casks to install binary stuff, which MacPorts doesn't offer, and MacPorts to install everything else. (Oops, other than stuff that is only available on the Mac App Store, for which I use mas, which will probably fatally break some day.)
...it's not the enemy, it's anyone with any appreciation for the physical forces to which a warfighting machine is subject, and the economic factors at play that make production of those systems as disastrous to the nation employing them as not doing anything at all. Keep in mind, a large contribution to the collapse of the USSR was the incredible financial strain created by defense spending in response to the Star Wars defense system initiative.

It was an economic victory for the U.S. more than anything else. There is always a balance. It's just like the hoopla over hypersonic cruise weapons. Sounds horrifying. Until you realize the trumpet bell makes countering them easier rather than harder as long as you detect them early, because there is simply no way to reorient quickly at those speeds without being torn apart.

Further, no one is saying we should stick with manned fighter craft, only that they won't likely be the silver bullet everyone seems to think they will be, will be fraught with their own weaknesses, may not in the long run be cheaper than man operated, and may Coe with unforeseen doctrinal changes as the enemy adapts.

War is complicated, and rarely does who has the cooler gun perfectly translate to who wins or loses.
I'm beginning to suspect human culture is optimised to see aliens, so anything potentially alien-like will be labelled "aliens."

Real aliens stand a good chance of being unimaginably, perhaps even invisibly, alien.

What are the odds that in a galaxy that is billions of years old, first contact will be an encounter with a contemporary-ish technology straight out of a 20th century science fiction novel?
Could be a coincidence for sure. I've never received one previously though.

Looking at their overview, this is Constructive Solid Geometry rather than B-rep (Boundary Representation) solid geometry. STEP does hypothetically support CSG, but B-rep STEP files are vastly more common in my experience.
I don't see anyone doing a Galileo here. Nobody's arresting this guy for speaking. I do see him being dismissed a lot.

Ultimately the burden of proof is on him as he is the one proposing an alternative hypothesis. He is free to meticulously document his work, propose studies, etc. It should also be possible to investigate his hypothesis by studying cultures that still do consume harder foods vs. individuals of the same genetic background who have migrated into the modern world and now consume softer stuff.
TikTok Plans to Challenge Trump Administration over Executive Order
It is explainable given that there was a single developer working on TTS. It is hard to compete with big academic teams/industry players this way.

I also believe Mozilla team was restricted by a lack of computing resources. They had just a single 8GPU server or so.
BTW with an Italian (which is part of the EU) passport they're free to live in any EU country, and EEA (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland) maybe with some limitations. They could even just work as unskilled labour, e.g. a restaurant dishwasher, and enjoy almost the same rights as a host country's citizen.

The article says "with a passport from a country in the Schengen zone, her children will be able to live and work in most of Europe.", but this is inexact. If this were the year 2015 (pre-Brexit), the UK and Ireland were not part of Schengen but part of EU, and a EU citizen would've been able to live and work and travel without restriction in and out of those countries as well.
To harvest all available resources in the service of whatever higher goal the civilization has.
If you’re trying to classify images as whether or not they contain something, you need a bunch of images that you already know don’t contain the thing (got it), and a bunch of images that you already know /do/ contain the thing. We lack the latter, so there’s nothing for the algorithm to learn based on.
you are sidestepping the question above - what can it be used for? What kind of fine-tuning is required? Because to me it looks like 'fixing catastrophic errors' not fine-tuning - as anywhere where the text can deliver value, it has to be correct.

AWS/Azure are a platform, and they work reliably. What kind of platform 'sometimes works'?
The guide seems to say, "the best anti-virus is Common Sense 2020. See discussion in issue #44." I take this to mean that they recommend common sense instead of anti-virus software.

It does also say, "Anti-virus programs are [...] possibly useful for catching 'garden variety' malware on novice users' Macs", so maybe that's what you disagree with, which is reasonable.

I just wanted to point out that their main recommendation does not, to my reading, suggest to use AV.
Yeah, the suffix you suggest is an example of what you’ll see folks calling “prompt design”. It’s becoming an important theme in NLP literature, partly as a forensics tool to find out what kinds of knowledge models encode, and partly as a path to getting a single expensive training regime to assist a variety of tasks.
Consuming all available resources and destroying all competing life doesn’t make sense even for us as the dominant species of a single planet.

What’s the evidence that wholesale environmental destruction is a good idea on a galactic scale if it’s already known to be a terrible idea on a planetary scale?
I really mean "we can hit". We use direct impact, without any explosive, to destroy ICBM warheads and satellites.

The systems to use nuclear warheads against incoming nuclear warheads were decommissioned half a century ago. I don't think that was ever in use against satellites.

Lasers are nice, but definitely not needed. Phalanx CIWS uses about 100 unguided bullets to destroy an incoming missile. Modern US fighter aircraft carry the same diameter ammunition. The plane is like a flying CIWS, minus the software.

Eh, maybe minus the software. If the software existed, it might not be public. Maybe the F-22 or F-35 already have the capability, limited mainly by pilot G-force survival.
Asking universities to police student behaviour in any form beyond academic/on sanctioned trips is absurd.

If gatherings need to be banned, police should enforce the ban on gatherings.

Universities exist to instruct and learn, not be substitute parents.
You're lying again since this post is obviously in the homepage right now and was in the 2nd page since yesterday which is suspiciously much longer than any post would stand generally.

Just curious, why live in one of the most expensive places on earth and seek work for an employer in a different locale? Are you tied to the Bay Area for personal reasons?
I guess, but in practice, wouldn't you speed up the simulation for the boring parts? Can't you put the plane wherever you want and start flying?

Really a shame. I find so many of Google's STT quirks infuriating enough I'd love a robust alternative.
Again, it's all coming from somewhere. Humans can react to stimuli in the natural environment and produce sounds and turn them into words. GPT has to be spoonfed a dataset a human made at some point.
"At the party, I poured myself a glass of lemonade, but it turned out to be too sour, so I added a little sugar. I didn’t see a spoon handy, so I stirred it with a cigarette. But that turned out to be a bad idea because it kept falling on the floor. That’s when he decided to start the Cremation Association of North America, which has become a major cremation provider with 145 locations."

I mean that's just brilliant comedic writing.
I think the point here is that it hs no understanding of what you are calling a 'bad' prompt. That does not mean that it lacks any understanding whatsoever (personally, I think it has made a small step in that direction), but it is a valid case of it not understanding something.

Furthermore, I do not think we can assume that if it were trained on examples of satire or intentionally absurd text, it would perform better on such prompts - in fact, I would not be surprised if its performance would deteriorate on many prompts, both straightforward and tricky ones, if given such training.

Now I am wondering if you need a theory of mind before you can begin to understand satire...
"it depends". There used to be NATs that did linear allocation or some other weird schemes (e.g. linear, but matching the lower bit of the WAN port to the LAN port, for reasons to do with SIP weirdness). These days, due to the misguided narrative that NATs are security devices, random port selection dominates. Certainly it does in linux (which accounts for most home routers), and all the commercial vendors (Juniper, Cisco, etc.). Some of the latter might let you configure it if you have esoteric needs, I haven't dug into that. Tailscale just assumes that port allocation is random.
I’m not convinced I can taste the difference. People think they can. ;)

A better grinder may help avoid powder that can be a problem with some brew methods. And a nicer manual grinder will usually grind faster, which can be convenient in the morning.

Your system is pretty underspec’d for anything other than 1080p on this game. It runs pretty smoothly on my 3950X/2080 TI. 4K is bit underwhelming, running between 30-40 FPS. But I’m expecting that to improve a fair bit when the RTX 3xxx cards come out.
The schools I'm familiar with are also allowing deferrals until the next year--which TBH, if it were financially viable, is probably what I'd be inclined to do at least if college me thought like current me. Not that most usual gap year options are available but surely some things that don't involve just taking online courses are.
> The momentum lately to paint all involuntarily celibate people as mentally unstable and angry

The momentum is driven largely by the 'incel' online movement, and the large proportion of the world's population that isn't sexually or romantically active in the way they'd like to be but isn't interested in their nonsense can happily not associate with that movement and not be associated with that movement. The only way you start getting pigeonholed as angry is if you start imagining a 'pro-sex movement' that inexplicably hates you...
(I'm not even sure what the 'pro-sex movement' is. Evolutionary biology? The traditional family? The 1960s? The current emphasis on genderfluidity and consent? none of those seem particularly hostile to the idea that people might be involuntarily celibate.)

Firefox is the only thing Mozilla has ever been able to make any money with; anything else has gotten them a pittance at best.

Giving up on that because it's 'too hard', without first proving they have an alternative? That would be insanely foolish. They may as well close up shop now if that's their plan.
The risk is much lesser, but there's the possibility of poisoning the binaries or release package.

There's also the whole "just because open source allows people to review code doesn't mean that they do" problem, but I don't expect that attack vector to be used by state actors because it would make the beneficiary of the attack too obvious to the public.
Anyone grouping anti-circumision alongside anti-GMO and anti-vax is almost certainly American. Circumcision is far less common even in Canada and is rare outside Orthodox Jews in some European countries. The association of circumcision with modernity is also weird given that it's an incredibly ancient practice that has been questioned much more in modern times.

America has this peculiar custom of always circumcising by default regardless of religion, though it's been fading a bit over time. My kids were both girls but we did talk about it and the hospital told us we would have to elect to circumcise rather than electing not to. That's apparently a change.
They were a gift from a relative who liked to hold physical certificates. They do give the holder a feeling that a small chunk of the company is truly theirs.

I didn't redeem the (very low-value) shares because I didn't want a tiny slice of Oracle or a few dollars; I'd rather have an actual chunk of Sun.

Looks like it became very difficult to get physical certificates beginning in the late 2000s (see right sidebar): https://www.giveashare.com/stockcertificates.shtml
> It's a hedge against the fall of American society. Nobody wants to live in a society that's all about FU, I got mine. And the rich have a means to escape it.

The rich often absolutely do want to live in a society that is about that, who do you think “has theirs” and is saying FU you everyone else, in the first place?

But the rich, some of them at least, realize that that is unsustainable, but rather than investing in fixing the problems they've created it's cheaper to buy an exit ticket so they can go create the same unsustainable but beneficial-for-them-in-the-short-term situation somewhere else.
Exactly, the classic Terran (of the norm), functions mainly with the help of cognitive biases and other syndromes preventing him, by social cohesion, to admit other tunnels of reality than those that composed their groups (majority currently) It's a pity, with a brain so powerful, if you knew what you could understand, admitting to omit the permanent self-awareness.

Exactement, le terrien classique (de la norme), fonctionne principalement à l'aide de biais cognitifs et autres syndromes l'empêchant, par cohésion social, à admettre d'autre tunnel de réalité que ceux qui ont composé leurs groupe (majoritaire actuellement) C'est dommage, avec un cerveau si puissant, si vous saviez ce que l'on peux comprendre, en admettant d’omettre la permanente conscience de soi.

The statistical argument has limitations, for instance, when there are more pieces of data to record than there are atoms in the universe. Then it falls firmly into impossible category.

> But our ability to navigate is fundamentally just a process of capturing regularities in our sensory input.

i don't think this is true at all, many animals have dedicated 'hardware' for navigation that can sense magnetic fields, etc. We seem to be born with spatial awareness that is far beyond what GPT will ever be capable of.
What resources does Earth have that wouldn’t be more plentiful elsewhere? Minerals are cheaper to extract from asteroids (no gravity well). If I have the ability to cross interstellar space, then I can’t imagine that water is even worth that much.
98 percent of the blame for this situation is in the hands of those with institutional power. The politicians, congress, educational leaders, etc... I’m not going to waste my energy accosting a bunch of students over the situation. They are not the reason we are in this mess. Those in power could make the pandemic more or less disappear at their convenience if they acted responsibly. The students are not the reason we’re in this mess.

As said in the article:

> Julia L. Marcus, an infectious-disease epidemiologist at Harvard Medical School, believes they should. “What’s happening on college campuses is a microcosm of what’s happening in this country, which is a deflection of responsibility from the top down to the individual,” she said in an interview.

Don’t fall for the game they are playing (and by they I mean political and institutional leaders). This discussion serves only as a deflection from the root of the issue.

It’s not a zero sum situation, everyone is responsible for their own decisions. If I ran a National Park in a high risk wildfire situation, and someone asked me if i would allow hundreds of Boy Scouts to camp at the park for months, then knowing what I know about the behaviours of Boy Scouts I would be totally negligent in my position if I let them camp. Some percentage of boys will not be supervised appropriately, the risk is too great that irresponsible use of fire will happen. The Boy Scout who started the fire would absolutely have made a mistake too, but as the person tasked with management of the park I as well would be responsible for my decision to let a high risk activity occur.

I don’t think it takes a huge amount of experience to know that congregating hundreds of teenagers and young adults is going to lead to close physical contact among young adults. If your goal is to avoid the spread of COVID, it’s a bad idea.

Implant dentistry seems to acknowledge that jawbones atrophy without exposure to bite forces, which is one reason they recommend implants over false teeth. False teeth don't transit enough bite force to the jawbone, which causes atrophy and leads to the recessed chins common in older toothless people.
Hmm I think I see what you're saying. Reality is experienced through electrical signals, arguably we're just learning those inputs. But then I (as always I can only speak for myself, everyone else could be a p-zombie for all I know!) also have a qualitative experience of trees, and words, and an experience of meaning and understanding.

If you look too deeply it quickly gets philosophical.
