The pessimist in me is inclined to believe that this is just another empty gesture to ward off the specter of right-to-repair legislation that's looming over tech giants. Louis Rossmann made a grate video about why these programs are almost useless (samsung) to downright harmful (apple).

I think the only reason Google and their friends are doing this is to remain in control (how, when, if). They don't want to end up like the car industry.

I hope regulators don't fall for this trap.

The best looking airliner is the 747. So majestic, so beautiful, so original.
Assuming it's implemented correctly, yes. The tracking should be opt-in, so by default none of it should happen until a positive opt-in is received from the user.

In practice, most are poorly implemented though so I wouldn't count on it. The solution is to lobby for proper GDPR enforcement and in the meantime defend yourself by using antimalware solutions such as uBlock Origin and blocking malicious domains/ASNs at the network level if you can (Facebook is entirely blocked on my network, so even if my blocker fails it won't be able to do anything).
The reference to their modern GPUs might be a red herring, i.e. autogenerated code from their database of PCI IDs, even if not fully relevant to this particular driver.

Nowhere this shows that this is the actual driver for current consumer GPUs, which is what people want to see open sourced. If it's something else, nobody cares really.
It is against the GDPR if there's no refuse button. The problem is that the regulation has yet to be enforced anywhere near enough so websites can get away with this kind of malicious pseudo-compliance.
I think that's being a little unfair. Tesla's factory isn't particularly special, it's like every other car plant out there. They're building on centuries of industrial development. Heck, the biggest 'cool toy' in the Tesla factory is made by an Italian company. So 'we' did get to this level if industrial capability.

Honestly, mindfulness. Being aware of when your focus has deviated from your intentions and being able to bring it back can help to not go too far into rabbit holes.
The GDPR indeed covers fingerprinting and anything data that can be used to identify someone - the idea that these consent forms are specifically about "cookies" is a lie that's being spread by stupidity or malice. See my other comment for more details: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30964163

This is also why there is value in not clicking "accept" even if you already block cookies and/or run in private browsing mode.
To be honest, I’m still quite bitter and resentful about losing the r/RightWingLGBT community.

Vast majorities on a site like that are already self-censoring.

The damage in terms of isolation and radicalization is already very real.
from a young age i'm guessing sunscreen is the only one that matters later on. everything else is just slowing down/maintenance or covering up things, but don't discount how they all work together. laser can also turn back the clock a bit.

Very interesting observation!!!
I like Sandy Munro, but he's not exactly an objective observer here.
The theoretical limit for resolution comes from diffraction. It is a function of the wavelength of light being observed, and the size of the telescope.

This is measured by the Rayleigh criterion

For a telescope with a circular apeture, the resolution is given by aproximatly R ~ 1.22 λ/D where:

* λ is the wavelength
* D is the diameter
* 1.22 is the first zero of the intensity function for the Airy Disk

No. You will need to read the file, not load it all at once in memory. And for a sequential scan, you need very little memory at any one time.

And if you are doing that, you can start displaying the file as soon as you have scanned enough to fill the view. The rest could happen in the background.

Good, finally. Yes, exactly - this is the most interesting aspect of the whole thing.

> the decision to place the elements together in such a way would require creativity on your part

I strongly suspect that's because it found similar compositions in its training set. So what exactly is going on here is fascinating.

Did it learn compositing? Is that why the image output is now much more stable?
Or is it mearly finding similar artwork and competently recreating/mimicking existing compositions from different building blocks? So now we can not only transfer styles but also transfer compositions. That could be the beginning of something useful. Instead of a text prompt I'd give it my crappy doodle and it will respond with an improved/different one that is comparable (also a great way to steal tho).

And of course I picked the one that is easiest to tease apart where it is most evident so people will see what I mean.

> if you try this thought experiment with the others in the thread, you'll see this idea is by far insufficient

That depends on your imagination and your artistic eye I guess. Even if somebody could do that they certainly couldn't make you believe them. That's the accomplishment.

Neither one of us can prove it one way or the other so long as the model is a black box. And certainly so long as we don't have direct access to openai but just to curated examples.
It works wonderfully, too. Look how many people in this thread are just now realizing how incredibly automated manufacturing has become; they think Tesla invented all this.

Good news: prompts that make it easier to accept than decline, or make it confusing or use dark patterns are already illegal and don't actually comply with the GDPR.

Bad news: enforcement is nowhere near enough, so the problem remains. But when/if enforcement does finally pick up, this problem will be resolved.

I get the skepticism, truly--I actually wrote a couple articles about ethics and machine learning, and I completely agree there have definitely been cranks or bad actors using this kind of technology in both this space and many others.

But if you were going to apply data science/machine learning to healthcare (personally, I dislike the term "AI"), I think that this project would be very close to both how and where you would want it. Peer-reviewed research with independent confirmation, in an narrow, image-based diagnosis, overseen by medical professionals throughout the process (not directly making recommendations to patients), by one of the world's leading medical research institutions.

This isn't a catch-all, and it's certainly possible that cynicism could be warranted down the line. But for me, personally, I think that cautious optimism for this specific situation overrides the cynicism.
No drugs, specifically cannabis. I've heard that admitting to using cannabis in the past gets you tossed, despite it being common, safe, and legal in much of the country.
Fair enough I think we are in agreement.
Unfortunately, propaganda is not reserved for authoritarian countries. The most common type of propaganda is used to motivate wars. The reason it is necessary is because soldiers won't engage in mass killing without some strong (supposed) moral basis. Propaganda is required for all wars, recent and distant past, including not only your least favorite but also your most favorite nation states.

One of the most detrimental false beliefs that people have is that propaganda is only used by "the bad guys". Nation-states count on this because it short-circuits critical thinking that might lead to closer analysis of the messages they are promulgating.
How do the populations compare? I think lots of folks overindex on blue vs red when the more relevant variable may be scale/density.

> > Is it fair to say that the suburb layout is generally considered ideal to live in?

> Is it considered ideal? Maybe. Is it actually ideal? No.

Ideal in what? Ideal has to be measured by some metric, so which one or which ones?

What makes these discussions interminable is that some of the metrics are objective but some are subjective so there can't be any one ideal answer.

An objective measure is housing units per square km. Easy to measure, it's just math. Obviously high-rise apartment buildings maximize that metric. So is that the only metric that should ever be considered? Or the most important one?

Then there are also the subjective metrics of niceness. While many people might be happy living in those high-rises, many people won't do it.

Should the density maximizers be the only people who get a vote in these matters? If so, why is that? Why are they more special citizens than others? That sure doesn't sound fair.

Or should they get no vote? Well that's not fair either.

So clearly there can't be one ideal answer, it's compromises all the way.

Many people will have legitimate preferences that differ from yours, that in no way makes them "absurd".
There's a huge industry around this bullshit that intentionally spreads FUD and misinformation to scare website operators into purchasing their "solution" even though they may not be affected in the first place.

> In practice, Teslas break most when other drivers hit them.

Have you been to a service center? They're packed, especially when compared to Tesla's market penetration. And none of the cars I saw there were wrecked. Just broken.

Tesla cars will most likely last about the same length of time as a current ICE vehicle, because what mostly kills vehicles is body rot. I'm even open to the argument that Teslas will have lower average lifespan, to be honest, due to the rate of change in the EV marketplace.

The only thing in common is Boeing made the plane. Literally every other detail is different. One was clearly a mechanical failure in an old, heavily used aircraft and the other is likely a some kind of unexpected automation behavior.

Possibilities for Air France include but not limited to: misconfiguration, failure of sensors, programming fault, electronics failure, or pilot not expecting the automation to be in the mode it's in—which could be a training issue, pilot error, or failure of the manufacturer to document the behavior.

That isn't a contradiction. The philosophical position is that the government shouldn't be sucking good employees out of the private sector.

The strategy that follows is coherent and consistent - there won't be an attempt to hire great employees, the government won't have great employees and will be run appropriately for those realities.

The 'contradiction' only appears if you assume that secretly people believe that they can find good politicians and public servants even if their political opponents can't.
2000 seems high. Besides learning basic rules, a book (or whatever source) can point out some common openings and why they exist, and also some endgame scenarios (like how to avoid a stalemate (or force one, if necessary)).
I choose not to disclose my location on HN, but will say it’s on the rural outskirts of a larger metro area with a multi million population. There are areas within the metro with higher crime, but no where near SF.

I would argue that our lack of stricter gun control laws is why we are safer here. Almost everyone I know is armed in their home, and at least 33% of folks I know concealed carry. I realize that here on HN that statement will likely get me downvoted, but there is a reality to the preventative nature that being able to provide deadly defense to crime that I have experienced.

Confucianism and ageism existed far before the 19th century, the fact is that Chosun dynasty was the result of a military coup when the general tasked with attacking a weakened the neighbor Yuan dynasty (China) struggled to maintain legitimacy and thus forced upon a new state religion called Confucianism that ousted Buddhism. It was under this system rigid hierarchies regarding one's class, education, ageism were enforced. You can see the difference from the earlier Korean kingdoms like Silla that imported and cultivated Buddhism leading to female rulers and greater tolerance for "LGBT".

Chosun was rife with corruption, rigid social hierarchy except through state examinations one could join the ranks based on skill and stability. It was very stable because of the oppressive social hierarchy based on neo-confucian ideals. The royalty were corrupt and immoral (with the exception of Sejong who created the Korean alphabet) and the last Chosun queen herself spent most of the state's treasury on luxury goods.

Not many missed the Chosun dynasty, well apart from North Korea which introduced many of its traditions (punishing 3 family generations of state designated criminals is from this era), ageism, caste, oppression of women, sexual minorities and male chauvinism. In fact Japan's colonialism brought more equality and ended caste system with meritocracy. Any modern claims of "collaborators" or such are moot, because it was a failed monarchy state and Korea simply was without any political direction.

Korea's success is economic success is largely owed to the Japan (the first capital investments and transfer of technology was from Japan to normalize relations) and its imperial economic system of zaibatsu (chaebol) and the 5-year economic plan that the strongman Park Chung Hee used was straight out of Manchukuo.

anyways just rambling on here as I eat pistachios about my understanding of korean history as an outsider on a friday evening.

My point stands. The vast majority of households were dual income in 1984. Since then house expenses have only increase by 5%.

> with basically 0 training/prompting (outside of the base model)

That's a heck of a lot of training. It might seem to work if you ask it to repeat stuff that it has seen in the base model, but there's nothing reliable about that. Most attempts to find some practical use for AI language models have basically been failures.

> our expectations are wrong. For the vast majority of computing history, computers have been used to do things deterministically and accurately.

Actually, accuracy matters even when dealing with non-deterministic, statistical/random/sampled data. A lot of supposed 'AI' is little more than a glorified toy or party trick, founded on ad-hoc data mining rather than rigorous inference from a well-defined model.
"Depends". The benefits of leaning on open source pays off the majority of the time. Are you exposed to more risk? Yes. Does that mean you shouldnt take that risk? Not really. Otherwise you'd struggle to move quickly and be competitive.

Of course certain things change this balance. Hopefully nuclear power plants dont have NPM in their toolchain. And I believe financial orgs already have quite heavy auditing of dependencies.
