That's often true, but not always. For example, if your desktop is connected to an Ethernet hub, you would usually expect to see all traffic from any machine on the hub. (Ethernet switches are a different story.)

Wi-Fi can work the same way, though it sometimes requires an extra step to place your machine's network card into "promiscuous mode" in order to see traffic neither to or from your machine.
Brave's been blocking third-party cookies from the beginning; Firefox and Safari followed in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Third party cookies might not have been on the way out if Brave hadn't taken that first step already.
You can force the opponent into a position where the only move that saves them is a top engine move. Since they cannot play that move, the other option is to surrender.

So essentially this converts most mates in two into mates in one, but some become ties by repetition.
The analogy in my mind is the heyday of x86 ubiquity vs the coming revolution of many SoCs in one device.

Huge, all-purpose, massive-capacity NNs are the norm for the current advances in SOTA. This is probably because of a certain limit on development complexity: designing a complex system of richly interacting parts is hard, so as long as development of these sorts of tools is manual, it will be much easier just to shove more compute at the problem with singular, massive models. Compare this to the all-encompassing architecture hegemony of x86. This makes it relatively easy to write software that people will be able to use on devices they already own, and this reduction in developer effort and complexity is enormous for enabling rapid growth in the number of possible software programs that can be created per unit time.

As ML design becomes more automated and functional, new possibilities open up regarding breaking out sub-tasks to individual, hyper-specialized tools and combining them into a resilient and capable whole that is more than the sum of its parts. That is the true power of automatic differentiation frameworks: when your system can be end-to-end differentiable throughout many devices and specialized functions, and you can train parts as easily as you can train the whole, you begin to observe the creation -- the growth, really -- of a new kind of digital cognition machine.
Correct me if I am wrong, but can't we just remove all Firefox telemetry by unchecking these options in Privacy & Security:

1) Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla

2) Allow Firefox to make personalized extension recommendations

3) Allow Firefox to install and run studies

4) Allow Firefox to send backlogged crash reports on your behalf

I understand they're selected by default so they're collecting data on many unaware users, but for anyone on HN, I am confident they have probably deselected all of them.
Rust and C++ are about equally difficult (or easy) to program in, the languages are much more alike than they are different.
One of these is not like the others:

> Phytoestrogens — naturally occurring substances in plants that have hormone-like activity, such as genistein and daidzein that are in soy products, like tofu or soy milk

Your comment doesn’t explicitly say that Phytoestrogens are only present in soy, but it should be clear that such compounds are extremely common, even though people tend to single out soy (largely because soy has been the most studied for potentially positive health reasons).

Phytoestrogens are present in many different grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, vegetables, etc [0]

This might be a relevant comparison if the App Store had any businesses it competes with, like the ones grocery stores contend with.

You live in an apartment building that's 47 stories tall and has 350 units. Do you expect all of the residents individually to take bins out to the front of the building?
Nobody should be surprised.

The past 20 years of research have indicated entire classes of chemicals that should be immediately banned, and yet the government continues to allow the use of these chemicals.

We are being poisoned without our consent. This is our generation's taxation without representation.
This honestly appears to be a very difficult problem to solve.
It seems that to be truly be effective in rat reduction at a city scale the fix may need to come from elsewhere and may have very little to do with directly working on exterminating the rats.
Fixes may be needed starting from urban planning through waste/sewage handling methods at a street level all the way up to the city.
Also not sure if there would be enough leverage and incentives for any candidate who is going to be hired for this job at their advertised $120K to be able to achieve that kind of a change!
Seems like another easy win for the rats at the tax payers expense!
Will he volunteer?
I have read through the paper two or three times, as well as several other things Searle and others have written about it, and I have it open in front of me now.

In it, Searle argues that no computer program will be able to satisfy the goal he calls 'strong AI', which he defines thus: "according to strong AI, the computer is not merely a tool in the study of the mind; rather, the appropriately programmed computer really is a mind, in the sense that computers given the right programs can be literally said to understand and have other cognitive states."

As far as I recall (and I am not going to read the whole thing again just to check) he does not precisely define 'computer' or 'computer program', but it is clear that his meaning subsumes ordinary usage: a Turing-equivalent digital device, together with any program that can run on it. It is also clear that, given his underlying position being that syntactical manipulation cannot give rise to semantics, he would include, in his definition, actual universal Turing machines, and any other device, digital or not, that, in his view, can only perform syntactical operations.

Therefore, Searle is saying that computers will never think, except in a most pedantic reading of 'computers'. He is, indeed, a materialist, and regards the brain to be a mind-instantiating machine of sorts, but, like Penrose, he thinks its consciousness must depend on something beyond what we have discovered so far.

Personally, I think the argument begs the question in this sense: it is predicated on the assumption that the only thing in the room that could understand anything would be the human operator, but that, in turn, is predicated on the assumption that nothing else about the room could do so. That he is doing this is made very clear in his attempts to rebuff the 'systems reply' and the 'simulator reply'.
I'm always fascinated by opinions like this.
As a professor, should be aware of various conferences in field for meeting/greeting others.
The more I read about Google the more I am convinced it cannot be treated as a single organization, but as many organizations operating under the same name - some of them brilliant, some of them utterly clueless.
Call me a cynic but the fact that after almost 10 years of AI hype we are still working our way down the list of popular board games is a bit of a downer for me. I mean, having AIs to play Stratego, Risk, Go, Diplomacy and what have you against sure is nice. But there are literally billions of dollars spent on these projects and I really come to the point where I just don't believe anymore that the current AI approaches will ever generalize to the real world, even in relatively limited scopes, without the need for significant human intervention and/or monitoring. What am I missing?

"etc" in my comment was meant to be other types of chemicals people don't necessarily like. Example: many deodorants that are phthalate-free are also free of aluminum, because people likely to be concerned about phthalates are also likely to be concerned about aluminum, even though aluminum is not an EDC (some people are worried about it being a carcinogen I think). I was just saying here that products with "X-free" are correlated with also being phthalate-free.

But yeah, specifically the thing to look for is "phthalate-free".
Well, the fun thing about network loops, is they can run for years without a problem on a switched network. It's only when you run into a learning issue that switches fall back to flooding all ports except the source port, which then allows packets to flow through the loop indefinitely.

This is why so many people footgun themselves disabling spanning tree, is it seems to work without it... until it doesn't.
Yeah that makes sense to me. I also think a lot of fertility doctors are hoodwinking couples into thinking something is wrong with them if they haven't conceived within a year. I think it'll happen for most people eventually (and the stats agree). Of course, it eases nerves if your 'eventually' is longer because you're younger.
Your probably right, but I'd assume financial attacks would be highly targeted after verifying they have the proper passwords via using places like FB that will just ignore you endlessly if your account is hacked.
There's barely any long term strategy in Dota, only meaningful strategic decisions are items and heroes. Even ultimate usage has like 2 minute window of importance. Wards too. And maybe the decision to push high ground because of how many times games are lost because of it, but it's the tactical errors usually making most of the difference there.

What's your MMR, out of curiosity?
Imagine the problems startups have who don't have a Big Name at the helm; Google/Amazon/Apple can ignore or impede them indefinitely. People in this thread are bringing up fraud and customer service issues, but these filters should not be something reputable corporations (and famous pioneers like Carmack) have to worry about. Something is very wrong indeed.

Google-sized megacorps should not be able to impede innovation and economic activity like this. We're all losing because of it.
I love the "disorder" setting: https://aatishb.com/patterncollider/?pattern=0.29&disorder=0...
Agreed. When I'm selling Nix to other Linux users, instead of getting lost in an explanation of deterministic package versions, I tell them system upgrades are atomic: you either enter the new environment or you don't. Either way you're in a consistent state. If for some reason there's difficulty booting, you can always go back to the previous system state from the boot menu. Mostly Debian and Gentoo users have nibbled on this bait. Arch users less so. YMMV
Hello, would you like to invest in fractional ownership of solar. When we build it after we get capital, you will get x% of the money.

This is how the scam is usually run. And it is run so often that people find immediate other obfuscations: "Unlike the other guys, we've already got the farm built. We're just selling a stake in it so that we can set up a new one.". You buy it, the damn thing turns out to be on its last legs and dies. Or some such thing.

Information asymmetry is what is being exploited here.

Postscript is one of my favorite languages, Something about stack based languages with simple consistent syntax. I suspect if I had picked up forth before PS it would occupy the same fond spot in my head. but I did not and now I find forths typing awkward, and it lacks the killer feature of postscript, you get to draw pictures.

I love making hand written artisanal postscript. The neatest thing I ever made was a sort of box model, the idea being the main advantage(there are many, but go with me here) of putting your document in html over PS is that html justifies and flows your text. So it was a library where you could specify a box(or a set of linked boxes) for your text area and postscript would auto fold the contained text. The idea was to have all sorts of functions to make it easy to write documents in postscript directly, no one but me actually wants to do this, so it remains a perpetual prototype.

edit: found it, the code is in a sorry state, like I said perpetual prototype, but here is how I did a box model(ish) in PS

I've had great success with a fourth way: my project language compiles to C, which is loaded at runtime with libtcc (specifically: git://repo.or.cz/tinycc). I've gone down the .so/.dll route a few times in the past, but I can safely say: never again. libtcc has the advantages of a jit (native C speed), but with an elegant API and laudable portability.
Right, but not all journalists are created equal. The kind of reporting you talk about requires someone special
Google is one of the biggest C++ shops out there, and also authors and maintains many of the static analysis tools and safety features you mention.

If they’re saying that C++ can’t be saved, maybe they’re worth listening to.
How is me making an app that makes API calls to iOS an "use of Apple's intellectual property"? I'm not distributing any IP besides my own, all I'm doing is telling the API to execute in a certain way inside the hardware the user already posseses.

A good analogy would be me making a new control panel for a mechanical machine, where the panel has metal arms and rods that connect to the machine's original mechanisms to bring about a certain result that the machine itself would be incapable of bringing on its own.

You wouldn't say I can't distribute that new panel I made because the original machine is patented, right?

Digital Ocean was just obliterating legitimate businesses when their GPU or CPU usage appeared to look like crypto mining.

Since they only accept credit, this is exposing Digital Ocean to the risk of handing out cash-equivalents for potentially bad credit. This "forces" them to be aggressive against abuse. Unfortunately, heuristics aren't perfect, so they also occasionally execute a hapless business by accident.

John C made the same comment that I did. Other than outright crime (child porn, etc...), there ought not be any limits on instance usage in clouds, provided that customers pay cash.

Heck, let them crypto mine if they wish, as long as they pay cash! Who cares? It's just computation.
> TBF at least it's better than the status quo of the late 90's to early 2000s, when the revenue model was malware and actual viruses rather than ad supported.

Back then we called software that phoned home to check for updates spyware and it was to be avoided. The very idea that a random offline program on my system would know when I was connected to the internet, and would be collecting my IP address was unacceptable. Now it's standard practice.

The revenue model back then was shareware. You get the software, it mostly works, and you send a check to some PO box to get a full version. It wasn't terrible. I don't remember too many companies outright shipping malware and when they did people were rightly pissed off (Sony's rootkit, or BonziBuddy for example)

What we had were lots of ad filled websites hosting shareware and it was often the ads that were infecting people, although some sites did inject malware into the downloads.
Even with the slower pytorch implementation my M1 Pro MBP, which tops out at consuming ~100W of power, can generate a decent image in 30 seconds.

I'm not sure exactly what that costs me in terms of power, but it is assuredly less than any of these services charge for a single image generation.

Gimp team members, especially the person in charge of their publicity efforts, were notorious for finding any and all discussions about GIMP on the internet and telling people to go **** themselves should any improvements be suggested or any criticism uttered. Have you tried to raise a bug for them? I did and I saw dozens of others do it, only to end up lectured about how much of a deficient human beings we were for not getting the greatness of GIMP.

They have run a UX brainstorm and then threw out all of the input that has been provided to them in good faith by hundreds of people.

Than there's the case of team's stubborn insistence on not changing the name.

GIMP team has been an active participant in the state of affairs that leads to threads like these.
Another Apple innovation --- spam calls to 911 any time you fall down --- or just drop your phone.
EDIT: I tried the heal tool, it's pretty shit :( Seems to clone random parts which kind of fit, but the tool edges are always visible. Resynthesizer for GIMP works much better (and Adobe's stuff works very well of course).
I dare say the people servicing the weapons in a war zone in Ukraine are going to be the Ukrainians.

Ammo is coming from everywhere, either stock piles or other countries when appropriate.

And to the Ukrainians this is altruistic, the Americans are handing over advanced weapons for free to help fight off an invading army. It doesn’t get much more altruistic than that.
> Contrary to what cloud providers may have you believe you can't actually spin up hundreds of instances

I've had three software engineer jobs, learned this lesson on the first one and watched others get tripped up by it in the other two. Nobody ever believes me when they say "We will just spin up a instance for every file in the directory" or similar and I respond with "No you won't, they aren't going to give you a thousand instances". This is a lesson that can only be learned first hand.
Not really, everyone will have their own flavor on how to rapidly train the model.

Dall-e et. al will still be able to bandwagon off of all the free ecosystem being built around the $10M SD1.4 model that is showing what is possible.

E.g. Dall-e could go straight to Hollywood if their model training works better than SD’s. The toolsets will work
You shouldn't need to ask Google for mercy. When a company gives you bad service you should be free to leave for a competitor. If you are not able to you need to ask yourself why you are willing to put up with such abuse?

It would be interesting to know how Stripe sets exchange rates. They act as an exchange for many traditional currencies and now for cryptocurrencies, in both directions.

To some extent they should be able to do this internally, when cash flows balance out.
I haven't seen the pattern you've described, but I have noticed that many downvotes seem to come to in twos. It always strikes me as a bit suspicious when that happens suddenly, but I try to avoid paying too much attention to the score because I consider it a toxic antipattern.

It isn't a circumvention - you can't buy the products in the app. If you try to go to the product page of a digital product it redirects you to a browser - but importantly you can't actually even see the product in the app so it isn't redirecting a _purchase_.
I guess the idea is that these are "product people", that may manage teams to come up with new products using AI in making them.
