The essential aspect is it signals the regime is not accountable to truth, reason, logic, or any other principle the populace can organize themselves around and offer any resistance to the planned agenda. Their war is on truth itself.

"Narrative," is basically the opportunity to align to power, but absolutely decoupled from reality or truth, as it's by people who believe there is no truth and nothing to believe except narrative and alignment to power. The crazier it is, the more powerful it seems. Absurdity a kind of checksum or proxy for narrative power. Aspirants signal their alignment not by talking points, but by making hallucinatory claims that support the narrative. Writers like Bernays, Cialdini, Sharp, (to say nothing of the post-modernists) all indoctrinated generations of students in universities with this view.

I suspect it's not even about political sides anymore, but fundamentally different theories of mind. It's the idea of self as the effect of language and narrative vs. some greater existential experience that language runs over top of. Propaganda is designed to operate on minds of that former type, as if you can sway enough of them, from the perspective of the person wielding it, it really doesn't matter what's physically or concretely, logically true if you have control of perception. That is - provided you can suppress humour, truth, and desire.

Nation state politics for a few centuries were about an equillibrium of power within a domain, where now it's all this crazy metacognitive stuff. What a worthwhile description of the tactic, and what a weird world we live in.
I'm having trouble finding anything in the source tree, but searches on "QTextEdit" and "QPlainText" fail, so it's maybe not using Qt's very competent text edit classes? The Readme indicates Qt is used, it would be odd not to use the built-in (but highly customizable) editor which supports a syntax analyzer and lots of other things you would think this project needs.
“Light-years” literally is light-traveling distance, though. :)
I still see people with simpsons avatars. Fads follow a steep bell curve.
Thanks for the clarification, that makes a lot of sense. But I honestly don't think you could chalk it up to any statements made by Satoshi or anyone else in particular. The tech press in general has a problem with not understanding cryptography or "privacy tech" or whatever. That's not a new thing. It really doesn't help that in the last several years there are privacycoin pushers who muddy the waters with confusing marketing statements that are misleading to anyone who doesn't bury themselves in crypto jargon.
The obvious solution is to set such results among the short term goals and to treat failure to meet the criteria as unacceptable engineering failures.

As simple as no bonuses, no stock options, no promotions and most importantly no deployment if the model produces undesirable results.

The models reflect what AI ideology directs Amazon Turks to find. It reflects what is considered accurate and does not reflect classifications that might be perceived to put Amazon Mechanical Turk’s contracts at risk.

“We” didn’t make it that way because I know I am not using Amazon Mechanical Turk to classify images.

I mean even if the exploitive wage structure went away, the name itself is consistent with AI ideology that racism, religious intolerance, and nationalism are ok.

Thankful not to see a Telltale crate loaded onto the dock!

Your choice mattered.
This is very true. I'm a native English speaker and ~1200 hour pilot. I have no trouble with the radio in the airplane, but many of the VAS Aviation and other recreations that do not come from released ATC tapes are quite hard to understand.

There's also a defined cadence and order for many transmissions. If you read off the automated weather or a clearance in the usual order, it's easy to transcribe it. If you read it off out of order, it would sound the same [and just as difficult] to a non-pilot, but would be much more difficult for a pilot to write down.

Not everyone dies of cancer. Presumably someone who otherwise would have died years before will be satisfied to die of the cancer that life-extending treatment will have caused.
It's definitely, definitely not going to happen soon.

The Vancouver Plan needs to be approved, then an Official Development Plan, then neighbourhood plans, then actual rezonings. Expect 10+ years, if it happens at all; Vancouver has a very poor record with these sorts of city-wide plans. From a 1992 article I found in the archives a while back:

"no city council has ever accepted any of the half-dozen attempts at developing a city plan"

OpenAI might have but the next people to make this might not. Imagine Russian/Chinese gvt misinformation cells with these capabilities for example.
No, "self-documenting" is not what I would ~/.config. At best you have to Google till you find random documentation like [1] and manually go and edit the file. At that point I fail to see how that's any easier than downloading the .reg file right there and just double-clicking it.

Moreover, if you insist on doing it the hard way, it's just a matter of copy-pasting the path in 2022 (not 1995)'s regedit and then right-click -> New -> Value. Still just as easy (arguably easier) than modifying a text file.

And Microsoft documents a lot of keys too, just not everything. Not like Linux is exactly known for fantastic documentation either.

Taler has such a small userbase, doesn’t it? I don’t really know much about anything, but that seems like a high SnR?

I do like Taler, though. More choices means more perspectives and fresh eyes on old problems. They’re looking for devs, btw. I posted about it here:

You haven’t mentioned any drawbacks?
> In fact, Huang compares this to political campaigns in democratic countries. Political ads rarely contain new information. They almost never change anyone’s mind. The function of political ads, though, isn’t to persuade. It’s to “burn money” in a public way. They are costly signals of the political campaign’s willingness to expend resources which shows their commitment.

This is hogwash. Ads may exist for reasons other than persuasion (though I have no doubt they are almost entirely for persuasion). But in no way do they largely exist for signaling.
Yeah, only the most brazen and silly propaganda makes it into period TV and popular hisotries. Pop culture history forgets successful propaganda campaigns that

- got people to believe streets are exlusively for cars

- got people to accept public health

- convinced lots of people it was ok to persecute communists

- got people to buy awful 19th century railroad bonds

We tend to think of propganada as loudpeakers and silly posters. The most successful propaganda tool of all in most nations is the primary public school.

While that’s a problem in theory, to moderate accuracy it’s not a practical issue. Most objects in the universe are roughly at rest relative to the cosmic background radiation (in other words they don’t see it as Doppler shifted in any particular direction), so we can use that as a common frame of reference. When we’re talking about ballpark integer billions of years, or even to a few decimal places, that’s easily good enough.
There is understandable reason for them to ask a lot more about your past history of exilfrating infomation, than even drug use.

I’m not an accountant and just guessing here, but I’m thinking it’s because it’s treated as a purchase of an asset or a good. Similar to how if you went and bought a refrigerator, the appliance store would book what you paid them for the fridge as revenue.

It seems crypto can have multiple definitions based on what’s most convenient at the time.

North American zoning shares a lot of the same origins in both Canada and the USA; Vancouver's first zoning code was drafted by Harland Bartholomew who did a lot of American cities' first zoning codes.
Indeed, I'd hate to be the recruiter for that. I can't imagine the kind of psychological profile you'd need for something like that. The end of the article describes the psychological cost the investigation had on the investigators who were parents themselves.

But even at an algorithmic level, it seems like there are all kinds of red flags you could pull out of public posts and do a much better job of redirecting potentially victimized people to some organisations doing meaningful work to help victims.

How many categories does my online profile fit in based on all my interests, and how many hundreds of bright people are wasting their lives to discern that I happen to like A + B + C and I'm in financial bracket F, with political leaning G ... to try to show me an advert I'm probably just blocking anyway.
It's fascinating how in our hubris we were thinking that art would be the last thing for AI to tackle, but it appears to be the first (Sam Altman made a similar statement on the launch of DALL-E). Which makes art more meaningful to me, for some reason. There's something in the billion parameters and exabytes of data that this neural net had to process and it was so ... easy. Natural. Because it is us. It is our expression. Our creativity. Our outpouring of data, and all it is doing is reflecting us. It's beautiful.
> tracking work efforts

Why are you doing this? How does it help improve delivery of value to those who are paying for the product/service?

Agile was intended to have people discover better ways to deliver something of value.

This is why the Agile Manifesto starts with People (vs. some unchangeable process handed down from above) and Working (Valuable) Software, instead of a book full of "requirements". And so on.

If you haven't read the Agile Principles, you're unlikely to be Agile: https://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html

The goal is: provide value, get external feedback on how it could be more valuable, as well as internal feedback on how people can deliver that value better.

That's it.

Everything else needs to either support that, or is just someone trying to micromanage you (and don't think that's not done on purpose).
I wouldn't say nobody. High-risk payment processors can have rates that high.
I think lots of folks would consider that an entirely worthwhile tradeoff. Would you like to try to argue that it's not?
Not really in English.

Uncle, Prince, Sire, and Duke come immediately to mind. Most of their feminine cognates end in consonants.
As a lower bound we now know a non artist can produce passable art in a few minutes. There is indeed a large practical difference between a few minutes and a few seconds, but I trust in the power of incremental progress.
Few tech manufacturers support reuse in any meaningful way, and I seldom see it in practice. While I'm glad you've managed to include it in your own life, my comment was about the bigger picture. I think we can and should do a lot better as a society.
From the buyer's perspective, it's as good as a veto.

Why does that make this article terrible? The criminals involved believed that Bitcoin was untraceable, as does your every day non-technical person, and the article explains how that isn't the case.

The video from Honda is so much better than the one from Tesla if you are actually looking to understand what is happening. It's also crazy how much faster the Honda machinery seems to operate at (it feels as if the video is sped up).
No, sorry, please don’t.
I visited the BMW factory in Munich and saw the 3-series production line in 2015; it looks to be essentially the same level of automation as I saw then. The BMW factory has these cool rolling robots that move the partially constructed chassis around the factory rather than it having to move along a linear belt though; which is cooler IMO.
I don't know about other areas but where we live there are 3 grocery stores within a few mile radius. I do think this is quite common. I am in a smaller city as well, of about 250k.

My wife & I walk or bike to them quite regularly in the spring/summer/fall.

The title could have been translated better, as one of the comments on the source pages notes. It would be more accurate to say that the aircraft was not responding to controls/control inputs, scary stuff.
A lot of GDPR is (intentionally) misrepresented.

Apache logs for example do not run afoul of GDPR unless you:

A) process them. (Correlate them with further identification)

B) sell them.

C) do nothing to secure them.

Regardless. The law does have conditions for these cookie banners. Namely that if you do not present an easy 2 click opt out then you’re in violation. Many people are in violation in what I feel is an attempt at a sort of civil disobedience. “They can’t prosecute us if we all do it” mentality.
Just like Willie Nelson's hair. (Meant on both levels.)
Ponzi schemes are the reverse of interesting.
It’s going to hurt the companies or it won’t…. It’s all down to the workers, who have now seen both options (home and work). It middle managers who are driving this and their bosses have also seen the home and office value of these people. Penny wise and pound foolish is a cliche for a reason, so determine who is a 21 century company and who isn’t and position yourself accordingly.
This would also be too slow. The user may want to jump from line 1 to line 999999. You can't do a file load fast enough.

I don't think robotics are the part holding back a clothes folding robot.

If you hooked up some basic manipulators to a VR controller, I'm pretty sure I could fold some shirts.

Not particularly well or quickly, but to a level that I'd be happy to see from a first generation shirt folding robot.
> it [London tube map] totally distorts the geography and geometry of London

It certainly does - back in 1979 I re-located to London and thought on my first day there that it would be a good idea to walk from London Bridge station to Queen Elizabeth College (off High Street Ken), based on the Tube map. It was not a good idea.

Luckily, my new boss Christine had an extremely relaxed work ethic, and we generally spent the firs hour or so of the working day doing the Grauniad crossword (usually succesfuly), chain-smoking and drinking coffee.
I am also hearing buzz about NMN and Resveratrol as anti-aging treatment. I would love for someone more qualified than I to weigh in.
The older I get, the more I believe the issue is with centralization (which the DMCA had a huge part in establishing).

What if there were no redit servers, and each subredit was self hosted? What would the incentive be for people to post child porn on some small independently run server?

As the subredit owner, you could just censor whoever you wanted, with very little global internet drama. Tools for autoflagging posts could still exist. Over-censored forums would piss off users, and be easily replaced. Similarly, under censored ones would lose users / get busted.

This all worked fine pre-internet. Editors would decide who and what would be posted.

It still works for things like audio fiction podcasts, where "slush readers" filter submissions, and money / reputation are exchanged when stuff gets published. In addition to leading to much better moderation than the big Internet sites, it creates jobs for domain experts.

The main problem is that it doesn't scale to a $1B/mo business that investors can siphon money off of. Instead, it's best structured as an ecosystem of small botique businesses.

Depends on the view cone, I think. I agree that view cones aren't public enemy number 1, but some really are bad.

I live near one in East Van that is utterly useless; it's defined as starting in the middle of a road, and the view is blocked by tree foliage most of the year anyway. And yet because of it, multiple proposed apartment buildings have been cut short.

Feeling a bit threatened are we?

> Politically homogeneous communities are more susceptible to witch hunts, particularly when they feel threatened from outside.

The situation is one borne of politics being hoisted upon an institution that should be politically agnostic.

I don't think the solutions will be able to avoid anything the hegemony deems apolitical since that tends to require things fit it's narrative.

This is just another lesson as to why meritocracy isn't a dirty word and that identitarianism has no place in politics.

Um do you want to try again at not defending it?

My information is very out of date but I'm curious how you know how unrelated they were.

My more-than-lay understanding is that the trading didn't happen in the open. Users used questionable comments, line-toeing images, and "jailbait jokes" to find each other and then swapped in DMs or off-site entirely.

Reddits mods have always had a rich grapevine. In my time I never once heard of a sub getting banned that didn't have a months or years long reputation for turning a blind eye to that. Possibly that completely changed after I left, sure.
If you tap the page options (the ‘Aa’ icon in the url bar) you can zoom the page out which will bring everything into view.
I'm familiar, and have wrote them myself. The "mortem" part of "postmortem" means death, so they are usually written after something has died or failed, like a startup or a project, and the document explains why it failed. Having "postmortem" in the title implies the language bot failed. I don't think this is what you meant.
Montreal is nice. Most people, even as far out as Outremont, have a grocery store within walking distance. Metro map could be improved but is decent for the core. Transit runs decently during peak times. Main issue is lack of bike lanes, but there's always a shortage of bixis so apparently people do cycle. Easy access to parks, I've got two within walking distance. Unfortunately the metro does stop at around 1a, so going on a downtown bar until closing means you're taking a night bus back.
The ol’ Algorithm-as-Patsy strategy. CFPB continues to sleep at the wheel, as designed.
Good for them, they can figure out to ship their real estate sunk costs without having to have all those annoying workers about. And think of how, err, motivated the remaining workers will be. Hell, they’ll be so pissed off they’ll spit in their own food.
Can't say it's trivial if they actually needed a guy from the firm to work with them on this?

I mean sure if there's some self service website then yeah. Keep in mind this is back in 2017 though, a lot of stuff has matured since.
What if you're in a cult?

Two more papers down the line who knows what Dall-E 4 will be capable of. It is a step in the right direction that the image output is now "stable", which is what this is demonstrating.

But it can't read your mind despite the eerie feeling you get, that is an illusion. Kismet in api form.

The next steps is to open this black box up and actually make its internal pipeline tweak able so it can become a useful tool.

It may end up an amazing super useful tool or a clipart plagiarisor/generator on steroids.

You can't even use it yet and you're already so eager to believe.

As a low-ranking middle aged average white guy from a small 1st world country: if I go to Korea can I get a status boost?

I have seen low-rank white dudes get status upgrades in other Asian countries for a variety of reasons. One architect told me how he was hanging with high status Indonesians, and how he could name-drop NZ politicians (for example, the minister of finance) because our culture means low-rank citizens can personally know people in high-rank positions. Perhaps I can manipulate the Korean status game in my favour because my background is somewhat unmeasurable.
