I'm not sure which part of the post you're referring to when you say that FLoC isn't more private than the status quo; is it the "FLoC will expose your data. More than ever." section? That has "Now every website will get to see an ID that was generated from your behaviour on every other website", but this is not what Chrome has said:

"Websites can exclude a page from the FLoC calculation by setting a Permissions-Policy header interest-cohort=() for that page. For pages that haven't been excluded, a page visit will be included in the browser's FLoC calculation if document.interestCohort() is used on the page. During the current FLoC origin trial, a page will also be included in the calculation if Chrome detects that the page loads ads or ads-related resources." -- https://web.dev/floc/#do-websites-have-to-participate-and-sh...
Semi-decidable means that will accept all correct formulas, and either rejects incorrect formulas or gives no answer. It's the same as having a generator that generates every correct formula eventually.

In my opinion, OP is incorrect and those systems are sound but indecidable.

It sounds like you already established yourself with a good reputation there since they hired you from an internship. Maybe the culture there is always giving all to the company?

Normally that supply chain involves many physical steps, manipulation, storage, inventory, loss prevention, etc.. here the supply chain is trivial and cheap. Comparing those as equivalent is not exactly honest.
The boundaries are not set in stone, and so the answer is the old theme of "it depend". To provide a slightly different situation which was discussed a few years ago, can you train an AI on pictures of human faces without getting permission? Human painters have created images of faces for a very long time, so is it any different in terms of law and/ethics if an AI do it?

Yes, a bit? It depend. Using such things for advertisement would likely cause anger if people start to recognize images of the training set the AI was trained on.
Maybe we should measure resolution in TV lines per image height instead of pixels. It sounds like an archaic measurement but then all the clever processing tricks and dodgy pixel counting wouldn't hide the true resolution.

Problem with this logic is where does it end.

Should modern day Italians pay for what Rome did? Turks for Ottomans? Mongols for Genghis Khan and his children’s empire? The Danish/Norwegian Vikings for taking over large parts of the British isles? The Moscow Rus for taking over the land that became Russia?

Basically human history is one long bloody path for conquest and sadly rarely do the victors pay for the cruelty they inflict on the defeated.

So I can’t find it now but a few years ago I read an article talking about this. I think from the Atlantic but I’m not 100% sure.

So the theme of the article was about the role good paying blue-collar jobs play on the social structure. When they exist, men who have them become desirable and this underpins a stability and family dynamic of sorts. When they don’t, women become more independent and the same structure of less stable.

To be clear, this isn’t an argument one way or the other, just observation. But it is interesting to see how the provider role plays out in society.
> Semi-decidable means that will accept all correct formulas, and either rejects incorrect formulas or gives no answer.

By this definition, program incorrectness isn't semidecidable either - the compiler will accept all correct [incorrect] formulas, and will either reject or accept incorrect [correct] formulas.
Love this subject. I tried this sort of thing back in the 90s when I was learning BASIC and making text adventures, but it was way beyond my skill (and probably not best implemented in BASIC). I've revisited the topic thinking about AI story generation, but that comes with its own challenges (mainly how to manipulate the world state to solve a particular problem in an interesting way).

Anyway, this video does make me want to try creating some text adventures again...
> and the art I make is better experienced digitally.

That's where it breaks down when buying stuff for me personally. Prints admittedly run into the issue of "walls get full", but I have not figured out a way to regularly enjoy digital art, especially since everything comes in different sizes and scales. Plenty artists I follow (you included ;)) now are on HEN, but that has kept me from getting into any of it, even though I get the limitations of prints.

There have been combinations of screen + digital art "subscription" in the past, which I never liked because of their closed nature, but maybe some amount of standardization/embedded display hints/... towards a more open variant of that will develop.

there's kind of no FAA rule specifically outlawing planes landing anywhere. There are restaurants in the US in rural parts of the mainland where planes land on a road and taxi right up to the parking lot like they're a car.

the rules are mostly around the pilot being responsible for respecting local laws, property owners (no trespassing) and the pilot being responsible for the safety of those in the plane and the road.

git cli has great ergonomics because almost everything is quite straightforward to do.

git cli is confusing, because commands are not orthogonal and flags often change behavior drastically. "git checkout 1.2-dev" checks a branch out, "git checkout src/AceGraph.cpp" checks a file out (i.e. reverts it to checked in state), "git checkout -b feature1234" creates a new branch. These are all ergonomic (easy to use and remember), but also confusing commands (why does git-checkout do three different things depending on arguments?).

It's similar but not what I'd call equivalent, because the risks of smoking and vaping are different and differently understood in their respective PR battles. The science is still out on how safe vaping is in the long term, but apart from liquids having certain additives like diethyl that are known to be unsafe now, it appears to be reasonably safe.

The undercutting of understanding the risks of cigarettes was happening when the risks would have been blatantly obvious to researchers, unlike with current vaping products. So while the PR technique is similarly appalling, the context is different.
As I said in another thread, in my opinion there is no issue to have with whatever they did as training with whatever public data.

And in the end, the output in itself is not really an issue.
It is just a machine outputting random lines it encountered on internet.

The problem is from the user side:
Ok, you got random lines from random places. If you do nothing about it, then no issue.
But if you try to use, publish, sell the code, then you are in deep shit. But somehow it's your fault.

For GitHub, the problem is more to be sued by "customers" that assumed that the generated code was safe to use when it is not the case.

And, as a general comment, I think that this case is very illustrative about the misconceptions about AI and machine learning for the general public:

Here you can see that you don't really have an intelligent system that can learn and then create something new and innovative from scratch. But it is just a machine that copy code it already saw based on correlation with similarities in your current code.
Just looked it up for Western Union: To transfer 2000€ from Germany to a Chilean bank account, you pay a fee of 0.90€. The currency exchange spread adds 13.32€ to the costs. Transfer time is between 0-4 work days.

If you want to have cash in hand within minutes, they offer that too, albeit with a hefty surcharge.

With Bitcoin, you have to pay an on-ramp and an off-ramp because EUR->Bitcoin->CLP, which will be hard to get done cheaper than the WU currency exchange spread (introductory offers don't count, so keep your anecdote). Given current Bitcoin volatility you need to do the currency exchange quickly or you may have a hodl moment and have to wait for Bitcoin to regain its value.

I really fail to see where the great savings from carrying out such a transaction via Bitcoin are supposed to come from, in particular when take into account the number of intermediaries I have to interact with and trust and the technical complexity involved in handling Bitcoin. People are always willing to pay a small fee for comfort and security.
The comment of Tyler Heaps gives a clue:

“If you look at each one and how they’ve occurred, many have come from “dangerous areas” on the pitch. At AS Monaco over the last season, we looked at where and how goals were most often scored and key areas to shoot/cross from to apply in our game model.”

With teams applying more analytics to soccer there are more cases of high goal probability crosses and defenders’ attempts to clear these are often futile. A great example was England’s equalizer yesterday that technically was an OG but realistically the defender had no chance to clear it and Sterling was right there to tap it in.
Such proposals usually start with "self-evident" assertion of harm incorrect terminology causes, but is it actually measurable? Did anyone make research while isolating influence of such things? Sociology is such a shitshow

> I, as a human being, have trained by reading code, much of which is covered by licenses that are somehow not compatible with code I'm writing. Am I violating licenses?

As someone who has taught students in ICT a quick rule of thumb was that I picked a piece of text that I suspected, wrapped it in doublequotes and put it into a search engine.

9/10 times - possibly more - of the times I had that feeling it was true. 17 year olds don't write like seasoned reporters most of the time.

Obviously there needs to be some independent tought in there as well, but for teenagers I put the line at not copying verbatim, and to cite sources.

As we've seen demonstrated again and again copilot breaks both my minimum standard rules for teenagers: it copies verbatim and it doesn't cite sources.

I say that is pretty bad.

If the system had actually learned the structure and applied what it had learned to recreate the same it would be a whole different story.

But in this case it is obvious that the AI isn't writing the code - at least not all the time, it is instead choosing what to copy - verbatim.
Is it? I thought it's basically addictive.

So Apple's doing much less work and taking a much smaller markup.

You're absolutely correct that Apple is adding no value, which is a bigger reduction in value added than the reduction in their markup. But the problem isn't that they're applying an objectively high markup. They aren't. The problem is that there's no reason for them to be involved at all.

You resolve conflicts by staging the resolution and then continuing (rebase) or committing the result (merge, cherry pick). I generally just use git citool/gui for staging my resolutions, which I make in whatever editor I fancy.

Aha, a dashboard tool is the "last-mile" of analytics.

Analysts operate in isolated workflow: write a SQL, snapshot it, then sync it using Notion and start over. We usually call this workflow "ad-hoc" analytics. And if I create a metric in a dashboard, it makes no chance to reuse it. Tellery tries to ease the process.
Oh please do. With something like an audio cable at least there's one end that is purely sticking out and one end that is purely sticking in. But with a lot of other cables there's a mix of inny bits and outy bits and it took me a long time to work out which bit I'm supposed to pay attention to to make the analogy work (the answer is to pay attention to any visible bits that carry a single/power. If this is obvious to you I suspect it was just because of how someone explained it to you, but if you're just brillianter than me then great!).

I think the diffing is the “obvious” graph search algorithm between trees, where a “tree” is a list of atoms or trees (think lisp lists).

Basically to diff a tree of n top-level elements against one of m elements, construct a graph where nodes lie on an (n+1)x(m+1) grid. Each node (a,b) corresponds to having looked at a elements of the first and matched them to b elements of the second list. Add edges (a,b)->(a+1,b) for deletion; (a,b)->(a,b+1) for insertion; and (a,b)->(a+1,b+1) for an inner diff (ie basically this graph search problem again). Choose weights to apply to node and now find the shortest path from (0,0) to (n,m).

Entrepreneurship to Fight Depression, Anxiety, and Finding Happiness in Life
Happiness is a myth, it's an artificial high invented by marketers the world over to convince us to buy things with don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't like (who don't like us back).

Satisfaction is where it's at!

Satisfaction from creating something, bringing something into the world that didn't exist before; extra points if commercially validated.

In a way I am talking about what's after what comes next, art therapy on steroids.

One could start with "tiny projects", something that leverages someone's existing skills, and with s modest investment of time and money, becomes a MVP, to be unleashed out there in the world. Collect satisfaction points, and move onto the next tiny project * 1.01.

Iterate.

Along the one we can learn how to welcome and enjoy the "F-word": Failure.

Failure: when a project doesn't pan out as intended.

It's only by welcoming Failure, fast and often failure, and enjoying the process of creation, that we can jump from project to project to eventually land onto our own personal Unicorn, that project that catches on like wildfire.

A life well lived is the summation of the hard work, and satisfaction from creation; it's the cure of a life of quiet desperation and regret of what could have been.

Tree-sitter is great, but I find it could do a better job with broken code. This is particularly important when parsing things like C or C++ where the preprocessor makes it likely that unpreprocessed code can't be parsed anyway.

I don't think science is about "the truth", as the scientific process shouldn't allow definitive claims. Rather, there should always be an understanding that whatever is being said comes with a probability of being true. We can make a prediction and assign a likelihood the prediction will be accurate, but we can never say "this is the truth" using the scientific method. There are going to be things that are so close to true that they can be taken at face value, but science doesn't determine what that level is, that's a personal decision. It's up to the individual to determine what they accept as truth given the data they have, including nonscientific sources of information, such as expert opinion. Science has to reject expert opinion as a source of information, and yet the individual ( including scientists when not performing science) must accept expert opinion in order to live their lives.

Right, and C++ got a lot of its compiler performance for large projects by making this an embarrassingly parallel problem even though the consequences are negative for the main consumers of the code (people, not compilers).

One cost of being embarrassingly parallel is the One Definition Rule. If we can compile N different code units in parallel, but they're all allowed to define things in the same namespace, obviously those definitions might contradict each other and we wouldn't notice. So, the C++ language explicitly forbids this, knowing you'll probably do it anyway, at least by mistake. If (when) you do, that isn't a valid C++ program, but the compiler isn't expected to produce any diagnostic (warning or error). So, you get a binary, but the language doesn't care what that binary does. Maybe it does exactly what you expected. Maybe it does almost exactly what you expected. If not too bad, the One Definition Rule means your compiler was fast and that's what matters.
Yeah there's part of me that feels "I want to prove I can do this on time / accountable". And that partly is reinforced when I get comments like "Oh okay good progress! But keep watch of the deadline, seems like we are a bit behind." (no sarcasm intended by the commenter). Maybe I can simplify it by saying like "there's little empathy" (?). The turnover rate is already quite high and I doubt they will worry too much about me (of course it's still not easy to find good hire but probably they are used to losing one).

Anyway thanks so much for your reply! I feel much better now and by other replies too. :)
