For the GPL it matters even if it is distributed in binary form. For AGPL it matters if you make a service available.
An apt analogy, and I think your discussion of private roads / driveways is accurate as to what the problem is.

I will never forget being led from a highway, to a side road, to a gravel road, to a rougher gravel road, to a one lane gravel road, to something that looked like a washed out river at best, only to be blocked by a large steer standing in the middle of the "road" that appeared to be as stunned by my presence there as I was. I ended up having to reverse quite a bit before I could find somewhere to turn around. I deleted Google Maps shortly thereafter.
I like the casual disregard of the alien ship as it was common knowledge long ago accepted.

i would be in a minority here but i use osmand+ on my phone. in my city, openstreetmaps is still in its infancy relatively speaking so what i do is, if i go somewhere and i see problem spots, wrong turn or missing road or a point, intersection or something. I just mark it and once home, i update the map for everyone.

while this might not be for everyone. It is time consuming for me but i find this a good exercise for myself.
i use streetcomplete (android app) often to update the streets and that is a good feature of openstreetmaps
I see now, it’s just a UI library for controlling margin and padding, nothing more? The “no code” talk made me think it was more than that.

It’s cool, but just because it could be used for “no code” I don’t see how it is no code.
Isn't it horrifying to think that it can also be done in the real battlefield as well?
Yes: I absolutely understood the catalyst, but not the reason. I will rephrase my question: why did you want to switch? Is that less confusing? The person I am responding to seemed eager to leave Google Maps, but couldn't because of one critical feature; once that critical feature was there, removing the reason they had not to switch... but, there still had to be some remaining reason why the person switched: a reason that had caused them to be waiting to switch this whole time (and while I have some ideas as to what that reason might be, it isn't at all obvious which one and I didn't want to bias the answer by suggesting any). Is this really such a strange concept? :(
I use NewsBlur to put the RSS feeds of tags I’m interested in into a single folder, then Newsblur provides a single folder feed (merges all the feeds in the folder) that I subscribe to. Lately I’ve been experimenting with getting email digests of that feed through zapier.
I'm curious what the privacy labels for Google Maps in Incognito mode would be. The thing with the labels is that you have to list all the labels as if all the features were enabled and set to the least private option. Google maps has over a decade of features that people use and love.

For example, I personally would be outraged if they removed Timeline, which I rely on daily, but that feature alone probably adds a dozen privacy labels, even though it's optional.
If you want to go down this road you should be looking at % of income spent on carbon taxes.

Maybe some “carbon allowance” would then be afforded so the lower income people that qualify could claim a deduction on their personal income tax return.
Makes sense. Kafka is Apache, confluent platform is open core. So I agree the post is a bit confused about that. We can update it and link in the PR. No intention to misrepresent the facts on our parts, just a small team trying to build stuff.
The article is about the failure of reinforcement learning to make it out of games and into any kind of real world task, so I think alpha go doesn't really change the argument.
I'm with you not being an expert and being unable to understand most of the lingo and the article. The conformal invariance example in the pictures spoke to me about the fractal nature in the universe. Fractality just keeps popping up in my readings and that may have colored my read of the article.
> If someone takes a photo in a public space of that image, it’s the photographers property and not the business’s.

I don't see how that follows.
Really? In my experience (Europe, mostly France/Italy), OpenStreetMap has a lot more details than Google on “long-term features”: roads, (hiking) paths, public toilets and fountains, etc; while Google is a lot better for POIs and restaurants/bars/museums/etc. On a given street, OSM will have the exact position of every tree but not so much about restaurants, while with GM you get their opening hours, ratings, menus, etc. Also, GM has public transports in a lot of cities.
I agree with you but to be fair I just tapped “public beaches” in to Apple Maps and got a bunch of nearby public beaches.

The Yelp integration is what annoys me. I don’t care much about the stars or anything in Google Maps but the photos and sometimes comments be can very instructive. On Apple Maps this information is hidden behind a third party service I don’t use or want to use.
“had left a number of items behind, including […] Wildlife computers that held more than a decade’s worth of data about the island’s bird colonies.”

I wonder if this part is true. Did they really only have 10 years worth of research data on one computer? No backup? How can this be possible?
It’s like a log scale for me. Last few years pretty well, last decade ok, anything beyond that I have some shards here and there
Assuming GitHub isn’t lying, no it isn’t. They claim the vast majority of output is original, much like how GPT3 typically generates original text (although can sometimes output inputs verbatim). If that’s their intent and they haven’t deliberately tried to make their model output it’s inputs verbatim, then they’re good. Remember, there’s a big sampling bias online towards people sharing bits of code that are obvious verbatim inputs - you don’t see all the ones that aren’t.

I'm sure there have been many controversial FDA decisions before, but this one seems significantly different.

One thing that's changed is:

> So now we have the top machine learning research institutes, DeepMind and OpenAI, still spending the majority of their time and resources on Deep RL

DeepMind has diversified at least some since 2019, and I'm fairly confident that OpenAI is spending more resources on huge transformer models than on RL these days.

Which is really the only thing that has changed, since even in 2019 there are at least a dozen world-class institutions doing AI/ML research aimed at addressing issues raised in this blog post (and others).

The blog post is accurate about OpenAI/Deepmind c. 2019, but is wrong about the overall composition of research effort in the field c. 2019. Outside of two small and very new labs, most ML research wasn't focused on RL, and most RL research wasn't focused on DRL as a silver bullet.

Sort of of the west coast SV version of only paying attention to work out of MIT and Stanford and therefore missing most of the interesting things happening in the world.
Respectfully, I think you’re cherry picking the current (more correct) understanding and missing what the consensus was at the time with the benefit of hindsight.

At the time “masks don’t work, “it’s not airborne”, and especially “it wasn’t a lab leak” were the overarching consensus - it was a handful of minority voices that pushed back on this, and they were not the authority.

The authorities largely failed us, my guess is because of political partisanship and motivated reasoning (along with a weaker MSM with bad journalists and some CCP pressure on WHO).

It was largely specific individual voices that were more correct at each step, rather than authority. The trick is you had to be able to tell which ones.
Well in the medium sized Norwegian city I live in Google maps doesn't have integration for the local public transport company, but Apple maps does. It's also significantly more responsive.

More interestingly so can anyone who can get a subpoena or some equivalent judicial order issued to have Google release your location to them.

Dalmål (Dalecarlian) is from my understanding (and simplified) a bit of a continuum from Swedish to Elfdalian. The closer you get to Älvdalen the less intelligible it is for Swedish speakers.

I can, after spending some time there, understand some "moramål" (the variation spoken in and around Mora) but I have a much harder time understanding "orsamål" (same but around Orsa). Elfdalian is much less intelligible.

I'm not sure this is really a refutation. There's something interesting in the idea that evolution has decided the old need to leave to make room for the new to prosper. Evolution acts on populations, not just individuals. Helping closely related individuals in the next generation survive is advantageous, and if that help is by being removed, then it could be programmed.

Even frailty and decreased brain function might be programmed if it means that other individuals take over related tasks to gain experience.

In my opinion, we offer a more trustworthy relationship in three ways:
1. We don't use ambiguous wording in our policies.
2. Any employee interested in knowing how we process these requests can actually come physically and see in detail how they are processed.
3. Our business does not depend upon our ability to harvest our employee data and monetize it.

At some point last year I read an article, probably in the Guardian, about what school was like at the time (when it was open) for the kids. Not allowed their own toys, forced to stand on markers on the ground, not allowed to mix with their friends or just play in the dirt and be, y’know, kids. I don’t have children, but I really started to question whether it was worth it - the poor things.

I tried Apple Maps again recently to drive to my daughter's school half an hour away.

Despite it stating that the destination was indeed that school, I ended up in a residential street over 3 miles away.

The carplay interface of it also wasn't as easy to follow as on Google Maps - which is surprising.
Maybe AlphaFold does? https://deepmind.com/blog/article/alphafold-a-solution-to-a-...

Notably it's still an entry in a common task framework contest, not a piece of software for the lab, as far as i know.
Most of the improvements in real world have been by improving data representation for perception (improvements in transformers, self supervised learning), so so far the article seems right.
There is that lovely quote floating around that change is slower than people expect in the short term but faster in the long term.

It is far too early to write of plain ol' deep reinforcement learning as a failure. It hasn't yet been 5 years since AlphaGo really shocked the unwary, and that was rather cutting edge at in 2016.
I'm tired of reading articles that say X is not the solution. Let researchers do research and find contributions that can avert disaster. It's not like the physicists working in nuclear can effectively be redirected to work on solar, wind, etc.
How clear the rules are is irrelevant - they were theoretical, an occasional example made, but no one really gave a damn. If you followed those rules you're a gullible sucker, most people were in the parks drinking and socialising.

The Quake case is a pretty non-central example, because that particular function has been copied verbatim into many code bases.
I think it’s more than that.

(Sorry for the use of “stupid units” here. It’s a lot easier to find the non-SI units for the HVAC applications of these and being an American, it’s easier for me to think in BTUs than calories, kWh, or Joules for HVAC.)

It takes (negative) 970 BTU to condense one pound of water from gas to liquid. (That’s the latent heat of vaporization.) It takes -0.24 BTU to cool one pound of mixed air by one degree Fahrenheit.

At 90°F, air can hold almost 5% of water vapor in suspension. If the task is to condense out about half the water (from 90% to 45% RH) and cool it from 90°F to 70°F, I think it’s:

For every 40 pounds of 90°F/90% RH air that you want to make into comfortable inside air:

You condense out 1 pound of water at a cost of sinking 970BTU. It’s slightly less than 1 pound, so generously call it 900BTU of latent heat removal.

You then cool 39 pounds of mixed air by delta-T of 20°F: 39 * 20 * .24: 195BTU of cooling required for sensible heat removal.

That makes it look to me like over 80% of the heat removal is latent and under 20% is sensible. (Phase change is expensive, but you’re glad for that when you’re sweating in air that’s not 100% RH.)

This is tapped out on a phone while traveling, so I’m not staking my life on it, but I think it’s right.
Here's another one - mentioned in the post, but not linked:

Not really. Tower triangulation is nowhere close to as accurate. It places you in the general agea with a pretty large error bound. Leaking Behavioural details require fine grained location.

Why do you believe we are capable of this friendly world with immortality when we are not capable of it without?

History has already shown us that made bad ideas only went away bad we cause people died. It’s not exactly controversial to say immortality will lengthen the time in which bad ideas persist, environmental concerns aside.
Wow, EdgeQL looks amazing! I've spent a good amount of time looking into SQL alternatives and building my own, and this is the only one that feels like "I must try this!" (Too bad my current project has no need for a DB; now I have a dilemma...)

> You can run EdgeDB as a query engine on top of an externally hosted Postgres instance or let EdgeDB manage Postgres for you under the hood.

This is excellent. Allows me to use EdgeDB for the majority of my application, but still treat it as a "plain old Postgres DB" when needed.
>You seem overly attached to the label of being an introvert.

I didn't downvote your comments but as counterpoint, I think you and tboyd47 are too influenced by the idea that "introvert" is merely a label.

Yes, I understand the good intentions for stressing the "label isn't destiny!" -- because we always want people to improve.

That said, I'm an introvert because that's currently the best description of my stable traits. If you didn't know me, I would not look like an introvert to you because:

- I'm not shy.

- I don't have poor social skills.

- I'm not uncomfortable around people and do enjoy parties.

- I've given presentations to large audiences in Las Vegas

... however, I've always had an underlying preference for solitary activities over group gatherings. I've had this preference for as a long as I can remember even as a little boy. Even the later adult years of consulting work where I went out for drinks and dinner every night with buddies does not change that.

I actually noticed the pattern of solitary pursuits in my life first -- and then I later found the word "introvert" that matched it.

It's like being "right-handed" or "left-handed". I'm right-hand dominant and it's a stable trait that doesn't change even if I learn to type 'Q' and 'Z' a million times with my left hand on a QWERTY keyboard. The label "right-handed" didn't make me right-handed. And learning new skills with my left hand will improve my life but will still not change my internal right-handedness.

Going to more social parties does not train me to be less introverted. Instead, it actually reveals to me how introverted I truly am. Yes, I can laugh and make small talk with everyone -- but it doesn't change the underlying feeling that I'd rather be somewhere else.

If the word "introvert" is useless because some people think it's a changeable trait... then I don't know what alternative word to use to describe that unchanging stable preference that I've had all my life.

Current understanding of amyloid diseases is improving due to race to find a treatment for Alzheimer's, so it's not inconceivable that a focused effort could find a therapy ameliorating this condition.
I find these kind of articles just perplexing. Research is incremental, tiny steps pushing the boundaries of knowledge. DeepMind has done things that were thought to be decades away using deep reinforcement learning. These research advancements may or may not end up being important for AGI in the future, but that's just what research is.
Woah this is cool dude. Thanks for sharing.
A model too, apparently. But it's not the most important part of the story, imo.

So best case scenario is probably just carbon neutral, as you'd cycle between a reserve of stored gas and a reserve of CO2 to make new gas when you burn the stored reserves. Still, it'd be way better than what we have now.

I wonder if there are any promising companies to invest in, or any ways to make a broad bet on the sector. It'd sure beat sinking my money into the speculative, fossil-burning boondoggle that is BTC.
You could just as well argue that "strong extroverts" are using a convenient excuse to avoid the painful process of not getting to know and appreciate themselves on their own terms.

It's certainly true - actually tautological - that introverts are missing social opportunities.

Is it impossible that extroverts are missing experiences of equivalent value?

Many Indians have excellent skills and rise up in the corporate ladder. The CEOs of Microsoft and Alphabet, among many other highly paid industry tech leaders, may disagree with your antiquated notions.

BTW, if you want to speak of dehumanization, perhaps taking a look at India's caste system would be interesting.

As far as I can tell from Western civilization, one of the core values in the modern era is that you have every opportunity to try and earn wealth based on your skills and talents the same as everybody else. The implementation of this system isn't perfect and can be argued about all day long, but the core value at the center of it is pretty solidly defined.
Oh dear yes! Double digit hours to queue up the emails, DAYS for our rack of 1U Sun pizza boxes to send them. And sometimes we'd queue up five different campaigns at once to send out the following week.

Given how bonkers all investment classes are right now, it’s a pretty sane question to me. Also, tagging a seemingly honest question as silly feels a bit harsh to me.
Lost in edits, 'theres..." should read "there's no record of the IPO itself, though I also didn't find any mention of its cancellation."
At this point it's clear that "AI" was overhyped (as usual), and we are heading into one more "winter". AGI is still probably centuries away.
Dunno about google maps in Germany (cause of German laws) but in Italy, Czechia, Poland, Slovakia, Austria (all places that i visited in europe and use google maps) i found google maps to be excellent but i didnt use OSM for like last 3 years so cant speak about that :)

> which is no more at risk of buffer overflow attacks than vanilla javascript.

This is quite wrong, a Wasm program can overflow internal buffers due to a missing bounds check and access unrelated data as a result. See HEARTBLEED for a case where this created a very real vulnerability. The Wasm safe sandbox only protects the boundary with the rest of the system.
I have and I like it. It was in the apt repositories for Ubuntu so I use that to manage my hypervisor (which is just an Ubuntu LTS box). In browser VNC to manage/install VMs is pretty great for when SSH isn't set up yet or I'm having issues with it.

It has a libvirt extension you can use to manage the VMs which is nice. Kind of remind me of webmin tbh.
