Does it matter to my point? My point is that Google has multiple times exceeded their bounds to do something evil to make extra money, so much so that they are being explicitly sued for just some of those now. Your point seemed to be why would they take the risk to do something evil and shady for extra money, when my point was that they already have a history of doing that exact thing.

The lawsuit I had in mind was the one calling out their shady AMP practices.

Tesla doesn’t operate those batteries. They are merely a supplier, or in the Samsung case, a reseller.
The difference, at least in the way this is built in Rust, is that when you create a task, you get a single allocation that's exactly sized. There's no resizing, which means that you aren't getting stacks that are too big or too small, with all of the other runtime shenanigans that that entails.

Yes, he literally lied by omission. Internally, there’s an entire data analysis available for viewing. We have literally asked senior leadership why his email does not align with facts and we have not gotten a response. Internally, you can also read the exact feedback that Timnit’s paper received. Like I said, I’m assuming you don’t work at Google because even if you didn’t like Timnit and just think she’s a whiny researcher, there’s no way possible that you could say that Jeff Dean didn’t lie.

Besides the 2 week thing, he also misrepresented the “list of demands” to make it seem like it was worse than it actually was. So much so that I’m even surprised he was allowed to publish the email publicly.

I can’t imagine a single lawyer looked at his email, honestly.

Hypothetical but likely scenario below.

Jeff Dean: “Oh, you say she made a list of demands. Ok, let me put that in the email. Oh, you said there’s this 2 week deadline that she didn’t follow. Ok, let me put that in the email. What else do you want me to add?”

I believe the question you should be asking is _who_ told him these things. Please guess.
This also means that it's much easier to spy on someone on Telegram: just create a fake device with telegram, then login the user into it using a phone with fake identity. Easy-peasy for a (Russian) government.

Music algorithms didn't use to (or seem to) be terrible when the initial data they fed on was already curated music collections. It allowed the algorithm to really learn what you liked then provide recommendations from people with very similar music libraries.

Now it seems that everyone is listening to songs and albums based on recommendations based on what everyone else is listening to, which is also based on recommendations, so you don't find what you really like, you find what everyone else likes and it creates a feedback loop of mediocre garbage totally unspecific to your tastes. And if you try to break out of the loop you land in a loop with people who "broke out of the loop" and you get caught in the cycle again with weirder shit. Rinse and repeat until it pigeonholes you into some inescapable nether of music you might nearly but not really be into.

In my experience, past some level of code complexity, you get the pretty much same kind of races with cooperative scheduling as with preemptive scheduling – with the added risk that you did not expect a race with preemptive scheduling.

Still a fan of async programming, but that's a false benefit in my books :)
It would be cool to have an interstitial fluid version of something like this although. IF contains all sorts of stuff, like ketones, hormones, cortisol and more and is less invasive to measure than direct blood. It would be pretty awesome to have a generic biomonitor that monitored all of this. It would probably be amazing for athletes and scientific health studies.

"Interstitial fluid consists of a water solvent containing sugars, salts, fatty acids, amino acids, coenzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, white blood cells and cell waste-products."

So first of all, I think you're failing to acknowledge the brutal barbarism of our time. The Killing Fields? The Cultural Revolution? Stalin? The Tuskegee Syphilis Study? They told that story about Lot specifically because it was not the norm, but was the kind of thing that could actually happen.

Secondly, the claim was that Christianity -- that is, the teaching of Jesus -- has affected European ideas about morality. Lot is further away from Jesus than Jesus is from us.

I think the person you responded to has an inaccurate view of the history of slavery in Europe. But only someone who has never experienced a different culture could say that Christianity has had no effect on the moral ideas of the West.
I love Kyle's work with Jepsen. Has anyone done anything similar with filesystems? I'm imagining a filesystem mounted on a virtual device, and having the virtual device randomly suffer write faults and various other failures. And then a fuzzer asserting that all consistency requirements are still met. (All operations before a successful fsync should be stored, no lost writes or files, no unexpected garbage data, etc.)
Steam is a desktop App Store done right. If only they would move more into the app space rather than game space.
> Yeah, when Obama was elected, @POTUS was renamed to @POTUS44 to give @POTUS to the new president

@POTUS was archived to @POTUS44, but the followers remained with @POTUS (well, both accounts, actually.) This transition Twitter has declared they will archive @POTUS and other White House accounts and reset followers to 0, instead of retaining followers tas was done at the last transition.

> I'm not sure how long that system had been in place though.

@POTUS was launched May 18, 2015, so it's not like there was a prior transition to have set precedent.
> 25. History remembers those who got to market first. Getting your creation out into the world is more important than getting it perfect.

Use for the backend something that gives you most functionality as a plugin. Ruby on rails or django. Don't reinvent the wheel. Add js on the frontend as needed.
You can disable suggestions through a extension or ad blocker and follow Youtube channels in a RSS reader. Youtube recommendations are aggressive and will keep recommending sensationalist videos related to your watch history. I don't think that content is curated besides the Youtube ad-friendly bias.

The most US centric part is you could actually try refusing talking to them. The vast majority of countries out there let police ID anybody at will. And challenging the police in court tends to be tough in most places.

Strangers don't have the authority to potentially detain and arrest you. I don't think anybody should be rude to the police. But obviously most people interact with the police in adversarial situations. Last time I remember talking to them, I was stopped for crossing (on foot) an empty street on a red light in the middle of the night.
This will approximately never get you something great, but is often a decent way to get a baseline you can improve yourself. Sometimes it's best to use the inputs for inspiration only, and trust your technique. The time this sort of approach doesn't work well is if it involves a technique that is new to you, in my experience.

Also this doesn't work well for baking, sometimes averaging two perfectly good recipes will get you only failure.

Big plus one. The Nth Edition of Fannie Farmer's Cookbook (or equivalent) is a great entry point for self-starters.

Playing with the basic recipes in there helps develop an instinct for ingredients and the cooking process, with relatively low-risk ingredients and processes.

Once you've mastered those fundamentals, you develop an ability to simulate whether a recipe, ingredient substitution, or bizarre process "makes sense" or not, which is invaluable in deciding whether to risk a dinner on some crazy recipe recommended to you by the internet.

The internet is a great place to deepen a knowledge of cooking, but it's hard to dive in without the fundamentals. And for the time and money, these great cookbooks are the easiest way to acquire the norms and fundamentals.
Or deny housing to minorities, or radicalize people prone to extremism, etc. Yeah that's one of the downsides of hyper targeted advertising. Should the acquisition be blocked because it allows better targeting?
In the Java world, project Loom[1] is hopefully going to end this situation of async code that is hard to use with blocking code. They introduce a concept called Virtual Threads (previously called Fibers, but they are still looking for the perfect name). This will allow for seamless interoperability between blocking and non-blocking code as everything in Java runs on a Thread and Virtual Threads are just a specialization of the concept that doesn't boil down to OS threads.

I haven't used it yet, so I can only repeat the advertising copy, but nevertheless wanted to give some perspective from other ecosystems.

You're right that it doesn't have to, but I certainly don't think converting the DNS to a publicly run entity by some particular government is anything close to a good idea.

Or if that's really your thing, stick to ccTLDs which for the most part are run by arms length agencies of national governments and subject to far stricter rules than gtlds.
It's the problem of trust. Even the smartest people on the planet have the need to trust someone. Trust can be abused, of course.

Follow the instructions on whatever machine you want. A CA is about configuration and setup, not the hardware.
rouille (my Rust web framework of choice) spawns threads each request, and it handles thousands of requests per second just fine. Computers are fast, and Rust doesn't slow down your computer.

If you can't handle thousands of requests per second with thread per request, that's more about your software stack, not about threading.

I guess it was different in the past when computers were slow. I can believee that.
So, the only way to get the information from the QR code is to visit the link so that you can download the actual VCARD?

Why not just turn the VCARD info directly into a QR code which could then be parsed and used while 100% offline?

And if you were going to force people to visit a URL to get the VCARD, then why not use your own local URL shortening service so that you get a much smaller and easier to process QR code?

I’m very confused.

It seems to me like inability to filter out noise, and that's not fault on his end in my view.
I'm not sure why any "citation" is needed here. C is widely accepted as being deeply unsafe language, and C++ has inherited those traits, and is still working on plugging the weaknesses some 35 years later.

Of course you can do things like bounds checking manually in C, and run with all sorts of warnings enabled, and you can use static code analyzers that uncover entie classes of bugs, but the whole point is to never get that far in the first place.

I worked with Borland's Pascal dialect for 10+ years, and it offered a great deal of protections while still allowing you to use unsafe constructs when you needed to get close to the metal (e.g. pointer arithmetic and even embedded assembly code). But "safe by default" solves a lot of problems.

This is interesting but it's still invasive to the extent that it requires a blood sample. I think it would be very useful if it were possible to do some form of in vivo spectroscopy, probably either IR or NMR.

>Tokens cannot be deleted. They can only expire. This means that if the token gets leaked, an attacker can misuse it until expiry. Thus, it's important to set token expiry to something very small, like 15 minutes.

As impractical as the idea is, reinforcement learning is so damn fun. I highly recommend others to play around with it. I originally was using the famous fork of OpenAi baseline, stable baseline but had issues with tuning with Optuna. I recently stumbled across Ray from Berkley [1] and it has a newer and fancier built-in hyper-parameter tuner. Even as a hardware engineer that's only a software hobbyist can make the computer play some atari games. I think my next step is to try to make my own Super Mario agent.

I think the point is that you can omit atomics in async case, if you are always using async in single thread mode.
While I am skeptical of cryptocurrencies, more and more often I catch myself thinking: I wish this seller just accepted bitcoin or something. I want to make a transaction and be done with it. I don’t want my email and credit card number end up anywhere long term.

There was a lunch place near my work that I frequented. They used Square POS terminal, once I noticed that it somehow linked my email to my credit card, I started using cash to pay. Cash is horribly inconvenient and gross to handle, but at least once you paid you don’t need to worry about it. You can’t be hit with some unexpected charges, wait to check the transaction when posted, no possibility of data leak, no privacy concerns, etc.

That’s even worse. File system performance is so terrible that it’s unusable for anything past trivial operations. AFAIK it maps the Linux ABI/syscalls to NT and that’s it. So you get the dire small file performance of NTFS to contend with (MFT locking).

Wherever you go there are puddles of this ick to stand in.

I’ve been at this long enough to know when to give up and walk away.
While the state of the art advanced fast, there was also a great deal of market spread. An early 386 would be several grand, but at the same time there were also floppy-only 8088 machines from about USD500 on up, and a significant installed base of XTs and clones.

The software evolved far more slowly because of this-- you still had a lot of "It supports an 8088" or "it supports CGA" until the early 1990s.
No, at least based on the info given in the thread. Apps need access to unencrypted data to perform background tasks and disabling FaceID in this way doesn’t have any effect on those tasks; otherwise it would be a confusing user experience.

It's not just about being smart/dumb, it's also about being trusting and agreeable. I think falling prey to the occasional (hopefully not life-destroying) deception is part of the cost of being an easy to work with and trusting person. There are people who will take advantage of you, but most won't. On the balance, this leads to better relationships and a better life. OTOH you can be cynical and questioning of every persons' motives, and that can make many normal interactions exhausting, at work and in social contexts. It can add an edge to you that most people do not like.

The ideal would be to have perfect, instant judgement of character, knowing when to be open or closed with people in various contexts. That's the hardest of all, and comes from having great parents/mentors and making lots of mistakes.
Yes you could fork an Lsos project and 1. remove the dependency from the source code, 2. re-build the distribution, 3. re-publish the distribution. You'd have to do this everytime you'd want to use a new release. It's trivial but it's still work and it isn't really worth it; the time spent on circumventing the Lsos library will cost you more than the 10$ / month.

There are easier ways to circumvent the Lsos library but we can prevent these.

Not every company out there is going to agressively wanting to circumvent the Lsos library to save a mere 10$ / month. Only very few actually. Large companies are interested in much higher figures than 10$ / month; it doesn't matter for them to spend a little on open source. They'd rather pay than going through the hassle to save pennies.

Besides the enforce-mode, the trust-mode would generate substantially more income than donations already.

Edit: about licensing: Keeping the MIT license is a strong statement that everything stays open source. It's important to clearly communicate that. Most devS don't understand how copyright works and creating a new license creates confusion about whether the code is still "open source".

Kinda, except that C shell syntax isn't very C language like.

I may be missing something, but it seems that what is being described is a neural net architecture that can be trained on any of several games to get impressive results for those game.

NOT that one neural net can be trained to play all of the games.

So, while this is an interesting result and makes using the same architecture for specific applications easier and a bit more plug-and-play with little to no modification of the code, what it accomplishes is reducing the effort required by a software engineer or researcher on adapting the software before training even begins, but it pretty much still requires the same amount of training.

What this doesn't seem to do is allow the same trained network to be applied to multiple tasks (which I think most of the AGI comments are assuming), and it certainly doesn't generalize anything among the games it is trained on.
Google/DDG/Bing it and read some forum threads. Sure you can't get people to spoon feed you answers that way but do you really want to be spoon fed by people who don't actually know anything?
Sure. The "don't be evil" motto seems like more of a guideline, really. But they're not selling data to 3rd parties here, and especially not something that is obviously personal like health data. Whereas in the AMP case the alleged shenanigans nobody really understands outside of the HN crowd, if even that. They're capable of it, any company is. I think they are much less likely to try and monetize that data source this way.
I did not even imply it does not exist, let alone say it. That would be a truly massive claim.

However, if I've yet to see it, I don't know why I'd trust that it's happening regularly just outside my view.

Until I see evidence that it exists and is in fact the default state of journalistic reporting, I am not going to trust that it is.

Probably license agreements with the labels... but that's pure speculation. Spotify seems to have solved that problem by throwing tons of cash at them.

You can see here[1] that Spotify has made agreements with specific labels for international rights. What a thing... only licensed to stream a song in some select set of countries... absurd in 2020/2021 and being an internet based service - but that's record labels for you.
