And a reasonable response in any case is "Yah, I know you said that but I don't like to do sloppy work and there were clearly a number of different edge cases that needed to be handled for this to work reliably."
The US military spends a lot of its treasure managing data, so it's not surprising that they would fund database companies to do it better. I got my start in databases while serving in the US Air Force in the early 1980s. Oracle would have been quite interesting for us, had we known about it.

It's not much different from how military funding drove advancement of aircraft or integrated circuits.
You mentioned on your website that you have an android emulator, but I couldn't find more details. Do you have a demo URL for the android emulator? I'd love to check it out!

I think there was some clarification from the USPTO that only humans can copyright these images, so that the algorithm providers cannot make claim against you for using what comes out of these tools.
He calls it a "Ride Along": top candidates spend a day of coding with his team and receive $500.

How do you figure out if they're top candidates?

First we did screening & technical interviews to arrive at our 5-10 most promising candidates

Right, so we're back at square one doing "technical interviews" again.
Ah, we've already tried this! Check out the early history of HIV in SF - scientists/doctors/politicians knew how it was spread and refused to do or say anything lest they further stigmatize the gay community, which was disastrous to the actual gay community.
100% agree with this. Paywalls for publicly funded research is bs and always has been. This should also be true for all state-funded or even municipally funded research (if there is any). Also should be true for non-profits who fund research (the tax exempt status is a form of public funding). Also any paper published by someone employed at university that receives any form of public funding or tax breaks should also be included. So the only ones who should be allowed to publish research behind paywalls are private for-profit companies who completely self-funded their work. And even they should, for the best interest of everyone, also use open access.

If leaded gas is the only way you can make a high compression engine run, you use it.

If being lined with asbestos is the best way to make something fireproof, you use asbestos.

Combustion engines are still optimal for many use-cases-but CA Central Planning doesn't care about anyone who needs them.
Yes, hard real time is hard. So don't multi-task, use as simple a scheduler as you can afford and make sure all your time critical paths are limited.

I've built quite a few hard real time systems (machine control, mostly) and the penalty for messing that up would be either a toolstrike, loss of a workpiece, loss of a machine or loss of limb or life so I'm aware of the pitfalls and would definitely not want a multi-tasking OS as the core for anything hard real time. For soft real time that works fine, but for hard real time you need absolute control. In an extreme case that can mean a separate CPU running with all interrupts disabled (and NMI tied) so that you will never be surprised. Another CPU can handle concurrent stuff.
Can anyone with an iphone post their results for https://amiunique.org/ with lockdown mode enabled/disabled?
Yes, it does: “Keyhole was soon contacted by the Central Intelligence Agency's venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel,[11] and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency,[12] for use with defense mapping databases, which gave Keyhole a much-needed cash infusion.[9]”

I have thought that this fact is a common knowledge.
This is a good thing overall, but it only half addresses the issue. Now journal fees to authors will simply go up to cover the difference, making it harder for researchers without lots of grant funding to publish (journals can now be over $6000 per article), and even more tax payer dollars will be going towards paying these fees for those researchers funded by gov grants (money that could be better spent funding students, postdocs and researchers). This really needed to be coupled with a requirement to cap per article charges for grant-funded work, which would have benefited all researchers.
I think it's the hostile user interface and the lack of clear goals with moderation.
Way down the road I hope Tim Cook writes a memoir. I’m curious as to his unvarnished thoughts about doing business in (and being so reliant on) Taiwan and China. I’m sure he can’t publicly express some of those thoughts without unnecessarily adding risk for Apple but he must have lots of interesting opinions about things like being reliant on TSMC vs trying to build their own fabs, etc.
Has anyone tried LinkAce? I'd love to hear someone's thoughts on YaCy vs LinkAce.

This is great timing. After looking at YaCy for my Synology NAS a few week ago, I looked at some alternatives. I like the look of LinkAce, though it seems to be less popular and I haven't found much on how a setup on a Synology NAS works.

I'd love some advice, I have a massive number of bookmarks across dozens of folders. Something like this is exactly what I'm looking for.
Another (useful) service that could have been run on client, and not have to allow access to the contents of my email to an unrelated company.

One of the most interesting concepts in the philosophy of natural language is "the cooperative principle"[0] as described by Paul Grice. Basically, to understand what other people are saying requires us to cooperate with them, that is in some ways to put ourselves in their stead and imagine _why_ they're saying what they are and the (shared) situation we find ourselves in, which of course involves not just a knowledge of syntax and lexicon, but also culture and other forms of background knowledge.

This is obviously the best method of disambiguation: "can you pass the salt" is ambiguous from the point-of-view of lexical semantics, but a sentence is always said in a context - e.g. either at a dinner table, or by hikers on the edge of a salt flat - and here sentences are only very rarely ambiguous. Many schools of 20th century linguistics were obsessed with ambiguity in language, but if you start with an understanding of language as something that humans do - rather than a language being a set of sentences that can be generated by some grammar, N Chomsky 1958 - ambiguity is actually rather peripheral.

The cooperative principle is also relevant to AI. We all know the Eliza effect, and, to me, nothing explains it better than Grice. We cannot help but cooperate with text, because that is how you make text work, so even when we know that it's just a robot reversing our sentences, or AI generated poetry (some of which actually reads remarkably well), we look for whatever meaning might be there, under the instinctive assumption that the author is trying to tell us something.

Have you ever considered that solutions to your perceived problem might exist?

I’ve done multiple different takehomes with some kind of time limit in place to avoid that sort of thing. Tools have this built in.

Also, there are definitely candidates who would prefer a takehome. If you’re worried that a takehome might be unfair, you can offer folks a choice to either do the exercise on their own async, or to do it live pairing with you. You might be surprised by how many will choose the former.
This works for some people, but others like myself have too many close ties locally to pack up and move. (As much as I'd like to if things were different.)

And broadly speaking, while that may be good for the individual I don't think it's good for society. We need some people fighting for walkable cities where they are, else we'll never get any more of them. And the highway widenings continue unabated...
>HBO is definitely going to have an optional ad tier

ok well then it seems we're in agreement, no one will have an obligatory ad experience they will just have different levels of allowing you to pay to opt out.

Hard disagree. It depends on too many factors to make a universal statement like this.
Weird that the main source of this video bills himself as "GHGGuru Blog. Helping to establish environmentally benign livestock systems".

Which would suggest that livestock are not environmentally benign, which is also the commonly accepted answer.

In the video he claims going vegan would have no measurable impact, and yet his job creating "environmentally benign livestock systems" seems like it could only ever have less effect than that.
There are other instances of offices being bombed, but I am having trouble finding it because the media / search companies have prioritized only one side of the debate

Will they label providers which do not provide those services, for those who believe life starts earlier?

Why single out abortion services? Why not list all services and prices?
It's worse than that, it's a perfect storm of bureaucracy.

Something bad happens. It's determined to be the fault of a CNA or the procedures (never the doctors and rarely the nurses are blamed, always the CNA).

The procedure is updated at the state level to require MORE things to be done, but there is no time to actually do them, so something happens again.

More documentation and procedures are added, and the cycle repeats.
For most tech workers in the US, there is no EU country where:

salary - EU taxes + Social Welfare Benefits > salary - US taxes - US healthcare - US retirement

My employer routinely sends me to Frankfurt/Brussels/Paris. There are no local engineers doing what I am doing who have a higher standard of living than I do-- and I'm only middle of the road here in the US.

Of course, the reality is completely different for almost every other career field but no amount of free healthcare makes up for the fact that I earn, at a minimum, 2x the amount an aerospace engineer in Paris does.

Also, the safety of the US is highly variable. In my area the gravest and most obscene crime that has occurred in the last five years was some teens spray painting "420 every day" on the dumpster behind the elementary school.
The modern human sits for 95% of the day. We evolved to forage out in the environment for resources, not to wake up just to sit at breakfast then sit in the car then sit at work then sit in the car then sit in front of the tv or computer then sleep. It's no wonder so many people have issues with maintaining a healthy weight when they literally aren't moving in a given day.
Wait till we need to place elements higher than on the top layer. This will surely be abused by plugins.

What you're describing is a law. Electrical services are a utility and classified as fundamentally different. Is Cloudflare infrastructure that should be governed more-or-less the same way as electrical access? That's an interesting discussion! But it's also neither here nor there, since they're not classified that way, and so it's entirely within their purview to drop customers pretty much whenever and however they want.

Cloudflare dropping kiwifarms as a customer doesn't make kiwifarms go away. It doesn't target you if you were a user of that site either. All it does is say, "we do not wish to do business with them, so they should go solve the problems we solved for them in another way". I think it behooves us as technologists to influence these businesses to be ethical about who they choose to do business with. There is no forcing hand here. There is no government oversight involved (although perhaps there should be if we consider them infrastructure). If "buttflare but for nazis" forms as a business and they decide to take all the websites that everyone decries under their umbrella, offering site protection and all that jazz, we can make a fit about how unethical it is that such a service exists, but at the end of the day we can't do much about it other than do the same: advocate for them to not do what they do.

Singapore figured it out. Makes it a very liveable yet super-dense city.
Again I don't think you understand the amount of resources that goes into anti-fraud teams in the hosting world. I used to work at a big hosting company and we had a team of 50+ people working around the clock to stop fraud ontop of tens of thousands of hours in engineering time to automate as much as possible. It STILL wasn't enough. I can only imagine how much worse it is when you have a free product offering.
This makes sense to me:

> All representational schemas involve a compression of information about something, but what gets left in and left out in the compression varies. The representational schema of language struggles with more concrete information, such as describing irregular shapes, the motion of objects, the functioning of a complex mechanism or the nuanced brushwork of a painting — much less the finicky, context-specific movements needed for surfing a wave. But there are nonlinguistic representational schemes which can express this information in an accessible way: iconic knowledge, which involves things like images, recordings, graphs and maps; and the distributed knowledge found in trained neural networks — what we often call know-how and muscle memory. Each scheme expresses some information easily even while finding other information hard — or even impossible — to represent.

That said, we haven't reached the limits of language models yet. No one knows for certain how language models that are 10x or even 100x larger than current state-of-the-art ones will perform at modeling language (e.g., as quantified by perplexity) and at harder cognitive tasks.[a]

> It's a big tool for a big problem that most people don't have.

A thousand times yes. To a lesser extent, I would apply this to containerization generally.

If your needs are met by some Ansible/Chef/Puppet plays/recipes on a VPS, then you should embrace the simplicity and immediate flexibility you have, and just go that route.

I have seen so much relative over engineering to run simple workloads in containers that never needed to be scaled like that in the first place.

I imagine this will be an unpopular opinion here due to the VPS provider, but if anyone is looking for a completely free way to spin up hobby apps, Dokku running on Oracle's very generous free tier is tough to beat. 24GB RAM and 4 VCPUs (granted, ARM Ampere processor) is enough to spin up a ton of small hobby apps and even good enough to run a few production apps at decent scale.

If humans wouldn't have made that mistake... it's certainly not safer than humans in that regard. You are saying that FDS might be safer on the whole. Apparently, it would be because it FDS doesn't make other mistakes that humans do make, if it was safer. Not sure how that supports you saying that having footage of the mistakes that FDS does is not productive. It'd be productive even if FDS WAS actually as safe as humans (I seriously doubt it is, and no doubt the article outright disputes such a notion) because FDS could be made safer. The reality is that you are saying that FDS should not be any safer than a typical driver. While I certainly understand the rationality behind such an argument, I think we should strive for better.
I did that a couple of months ago. Was planning to write something up in the next month or so.
Do you think that spending 2 hours of someones time, under the scrutiny of a stranger and already under the stress of looking for a new job, is fair?

Has anyone ever asked you to code for them, instead? So they could learn about you and how you deal with problems? Have they asked how you deal with situations under stress? Or maybe they never did so because they were never comfortable enough to do so, since they were in the spotlight?
We're still building it out. In the meantime, there are alternatives like https://anbox-cloud.io/ which you can try.

M1 and M2 actually are not produced on the exact same process node. M1 is N5 and M2 is N5P, an optimized version of N5.

I think Kuo might be misinterpreting the statement from TSMC regarding revenue from N3. The key is that they said it wont "substantially" contribute to revenue until 2023. Of course processors like M2 Pro/Max/Ultra wont generate the same amount of numbers like something more high volume like an iPhone and in the grand scheme of things can't represent a substantial contribution to TSMC revenue.

The fact is TSMC said they'll start N3 HVM in September. So they are producing something and we know Apple is expected to be the first customer for this node. It's too early for the A17 so either it's the M2 Pro/Max/Ultra or something new like the VR headset chip. Can someone see another possibility?

Apple still btw has to replace the Mac Pro with an Apple Silicon based model and their own deadline (2 years from first M1) is running out. It could make sense that they want to bring this one with a "bang" and claim the performance crown just to stick it to Intel :)
Why is everyone with criticisms about DALLE-E, Midjourney and Stable Diffusion so focused on their day 1 capabilities? The fact that it can do any of what it does today, is absolutely insane. Is no one focusing on what day 36 or year 2 will look like?

I've been privy to some of the model iterations Midjourney has gone through on their Discord and in a series of a few weeks, they've made substantial gains on generating faces from their V1, V2 and V3 models.

Within a short amount of time, this will no longer be a complaint.

In relation to OP's post, I guess Reddit can't guarantee this won't also turn into DeepFake territory so they're banning it outright.

I'm completely biased as I work on the nanos/ops unikernel toolchain but unikernels offer a very PaaS like feel as the app and server become one. You simply build your image (ops image create) and then deploy it (ops instance create) - two commands. Takes tens of seconds to have something running on AWS. If you are on a AWS/GCP free tier it costs nothing but even a a g1-small costs only ~$20/month and a f1-micro goes for ~ $5/month which can go a long way. We've had a go unikernel be on the front page of HN on a f1-micro and it barely registered any resources being used.

Besides the perf/security boost you aren't locked in to anything. You could take the same application and deploy it to multiple clouds simultaneously if you wanted to as it is making use of cloud primitives - nothing cloud-specific unlike some of the various serverless offerings.
I think most of the kerfuffle stems from two misconceptions:

(1) Many people think AIs just reproduce and recompose chunks of their training data. As such, they believe that if an AI produces something "in the style of Artist X", it is copying Artist X's work directly. In reality, of course, that's not how neural networks function, and this is far more akin to the network taking inspiration from Artist X to produce its own work, which I'm pretty sure is perfectly safe, IP law-wise.

(2) Many people are afraid these AIs will destroy artists' niche in society and/or jobs, and so they're trying to denigrate the AIs and nerf what they're allowed to do. But the printing press didn't remove authors, calculators didn't remove mathematicians, medicines didn't remove doctors, etc. These AIs are merely a new tool for anyone, including artists, to use, and human artists can (and, I think, should) work alongside the AIs rather than fear them. The AIs are exceptional, and will only improve, but they learn from humans. The fact that Artist X paints something doesn't take away from the art Artist Y makes. There is value in almost all art.
All the fools talking about a "post-scarcity" economy are suddenly quiet.
