A baddy gets the camera, holds the button for some time and that resets the camera (disassociates the camera from the base station). The recordings for that camera on the base station are now gone because they are encrypted and rely on the association the camera had.

Eufy refused to fix the problem. It was something that could have been fixed with a firmware update via its app.

It was a shame, the cameras were good but the product overall wasn't fit for purpose (due to their incompetence).

> Ghosts in the Air Glow is an ionospheric transmission art project using the HAARP Ionospheric Research Instrument to play with the liminal boundaries of earth's atmosphere and outer space. Air Glow (artificial aurora) and Luxembourg experiments (ionospheric mixing) will be paired with the AM modulation of Narrow Band Television (NBTV) video art, Slow Scan Television (SSTV) images, spoken word, and sound art created by Amanda Dawn Christie. As a citizen science experiment to learn more about propagation, shortwave listeners from around the world are invited to tune in and submit reception reports online through the project's website ... in exchange for QSL cards.

English word suspend is available on menu.

The functionality is there. If resume from suspend breaks 3 times in a row, disable, enable hibernate.

If working, after 30 mins suspend, awake, do hibernate.

If fails 3 times, always use hybrid suspend.

If this functionality does not exist is because resources are being misallocated.

If they don't want to support suspend: REMOVE the option.
I think the main differences are internal state and feedback loops. The language model is stateless and immutable, whereas human brains are stateful and plastic.

To mimic state within ChatGPT all the previous prompts and responses are fed together with the last one. But of course, that's not very efficient and quite limited.

While it's certainly impressive right now, it's nowhere close to general intelligence. Once AI will be able to keep track of stage and update itself through feedback loops, then I'd say we'll be pretty close. Right now it's a language model that is extremely good at detecting patterns and applying them.

> Instead, it's been empowered by institutional investors that appear to have turned a blind eye to its deeds in the pursuit of profit.

Maybe I should have worded it better.

Yes, companies like NSO most probably do receive institutional money, in the same way that some of the taxes we pay go to purchasing tanks and ammunition (i.e. the military doesn't run from a rogue basement), my point was that if that institutional money were somehow to be gone overnight it will not be the end of the world for companies like NSO, or for the people that they employ.

Worst case scenario the company goes bankrupt and another NSO-like company takes its place, with the same stakeholders behind it. But all the institutional and VC money in the world won't help take a NSO-like company off the ground if it doesn't have the right state-approved and and state-sponsored stakeholders.
I'm just a layman but I don't think anyone really expected or knows _why_ just stacking a bunch of attention layers works so well. It's not immediately obvious that doing well on predicting a masked token is going to somehow "generalize" to being able to provide coherent answers to prompts. You can sort of squint and try to handwave it, but if it were obvious that this would work you'd think people would have experimented with it before 2018.

That book review reminded me of the « energy slave » concept:
https://disnovation.org/energyslave.php
The brain is often used to rationalize whateverideology wants.

Right leaning people I know naturally sympathize for Putin because they like his ability to decide what he wants; the allure of the strong man.

Left leaning people in Italy sympathize for Putin because they are so used at hating American imperialism that by definition whatever is challenging it (better if its natural old enemy) must be good!

It's often easy to conveniently select the facts that support whatever your bias is, and when you can't just throw some whataboutism and you're back safely in your worldview. On top of that you add your social media bubble that reinforces your position, feeding you with arguments that you can cherry pick.

I don't know but I find it very hard ti effectively counter that when discussing with people who hold such positions. (Insulting their intelligence doesn't accomplish much)
I wish we could fix whatever prevents this from happening at scale in Mexico, too (with some high value production in the US and potentially Canada as well, and maybe some other supplies coming from the elsewhere in the Americas.). I wonder if it is infrastructure, regulation, labor, or what.
Neither. The analogy was to say that their point was irrelevant. The fact that there is a network with 1.5B users does not prevent of a smaller, pay-to-join, network.

Average capacity factor is basically an irrelevant metric. What is more important is the lowest seasonal capacity factor, since seasonal power storage doesn’t make sense. For the UK this is 25% for offshore wind: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/cms/asset/bd2bb73a-ef25-4c4b...

This means that we need to overbuild wind by >200%, to have the necessary power year round.

Solar doesn’t work, since it is basically useless in the northern hemisphere during winter, and it needs a lot of battery storage during the night.

There is also a week in February where there is no wind, which will require green methane production and gas peakers(edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunkelflaute)

Nuclear can work year round with load following using a design like the Natrium reactor. This design also uses a lot less concrete than traditional NPP’s.

>released the war criminals and rearmed them the second that an ascendant Socialist power needed to be addressed

Who/when? War criminals released in West Germany to combat East Germany? Did they somehow not commit war crimes this time?

> the myth of the clean wehrmacht finally addressed

Can you explain this a little more? I had a grandfather I never met who was in the wehrmacht. As an American youth I understood it as wehrmacht == nazi, without any distinction. I dismissed what my grandmother said about him hating Hitler as revisionism because A. I disliked her for other reasons and B. obviously a nazi would try to prove their innocence. Being part German felt dirty as a kid and I wanted to be distanced from it.

It was not until adulthood and digging through old family records that I realized there was a potential distinction between party members and the wehrmacht, or that they were drafting all able bodied men at the end. Though my grandparents clearly weren't heroes of any sort, I realized I had perhaps been too brutal in my assessment. But perhaps not! I just don't really know.

One day I'll get around to requesting his military record from the German government, though I don't know the integrity of those records, given the post-war political situation.
Well, it’s a political issue though.

It’s not the same system that worked yesterday that is suddenly collapsing on itself.

It’s a series of hostile political decisions against it made to actively induce a collapsing.

We could very easily fix it by applying old recipes that worked well yesterday but nobody (with the power to) wants to fix it.
A job is a job. If you have to set an alarm to wake up Monday morning, eventually it is going to grate on you regardless. I am sure there are some people who love it, but I suspect this is more likely akin to the social media effect (where you only see people sharing pictures of their amazing holiday/car/friends, and never the shit parts of their life, so that amplifies this feeling of "everyone's life is great but mine seems crap" because you only see/hear the edited best bits)

I personally find that "coding for fun" at home is the best solution to not caring about work. You don't need to code for any purpose apart from the sheer joy of it - don't worry about open sourcing or a business model or a side business or even if anyone in the world will ever even see the code. Just code for fun even if that particular idea only lasts a Sunday afternoon (I have loads of projects that I worked on for perhaps total of like less than 10 or even 5 hours before getting bored and moving on, but it was fun for those 5-10 hours - that is fine, I occasionally pick things back up, but often not).

You also don't need to care about every new tech that comes along.

Good luck.

I remember seeing a chart a while back that said the actual cost of manufacturing in China is roughly the same as in the US, one has much lower labor costs and the other much lower energy costs. At the time at least it was posited the benefit of China manufacturing was co-location of suppliers and shorter supply chains.

edit: [1] lists a BCG report from roughly when I was thinking and references a slightly earlier Bloomberg article [2].

Personally, I think China just has much better infrastructure, - in general - and specifically manufacturing, export and logistics. There's also momentum.

> Thus, the stringing-together bit is far, far less complex.

This is the statement I disagree with the most.

The problem is that combining different programs, that aren't strictly written to interoperate in a specific way, gives you an order of magnitude increase in the complexity. Sure, running find and grep together is common enough, but how about running {obscure_command_rarely_used} through {other_command} through {other_other_command}. There are always corner cases that can crop up, and even before we get to corner cases, just understanding how to fit the pieces together correctly is not so simple.

One cohesive program designed to all work together sometimes just makes more sense, especially when we're talking about complicated, high level actions, as opposed to the more common low-level actions of unix commands. (Or well, maybe high level and low level is the wrong way to put it - maybe the lower abstraction stuff in Word vs. the higher abstraction stuff that Unix tools deal with.)
So I asked it "Write a story about a person that longs to turn into a chair. Explain her motivation and how she achieves it, and whether she regrets it" and got back

There once was a woman named Sarah who longed to turn into a chair. Sarah had always been fascinated by furniture and the way that it could provide comfort, support, and utility to people. She dreamed of becoming a chair herself, to be able to experience these things firsthand and to be useful to others in a tangible way.

Sarah spent many hours studying furniture design and construction, and she experimented with various materials and techniques to create her own chairs. She also spent time observing people using chairs and other furniture, trying to understand their needs and preferences. Over time, Sarah became an expert in furniture and was able to create beautiful and functional chairs that were admired by many.

But Sarah's desire to become a chair herself never diminished. She was determined to find a way to transform her own body into a chair, and she spent many years researching and experimenting with various methods. Eventually, Sarah discovered a secret formula that allowed her to change her body into a chair. She carefully followed the instructions and carefully applied the formula, and to her amazement, she began to transform into a chair.

At first, Sarah was thrilled with her transformation. She felt the wood and fabric of her new body, and she experienced the sensation of being used and appreciated by people. She was able to provide comfort and support to those who sat on her, and she felt a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.

But over time, Sarah began to regret her decision. She missed the freedom and autonomy of her human body, and she longed to be able to move and interact with the world in the same way as before. She also realized that she had given up her identity and her individuality by becoming a chair, and she felt lost and lonely.

In the end, Sarah decided to reverse the transformation and return to her human form. It was a difficult and painful process, but she was determined to regain her humanity. When she finally succeeded, Sarah was grateful to be herself again, and she vowed to never again give up her identity for the sake of becoming something else. She continued to create beautiful chairs, but she did so as a human being, not as a chair.
I was actually the one who submitted patches for GTK3 support! But, yes, it's never going to work with GTK4, at least not without complete overhaul.

I don't daily-drive it though, mostly because I never found time to update rather limited set of keybindings, a task that seems way more involving than a couple of little fixes that were needed to support GTK3.
IIRC, Windows licenses are tied to processors, and assuming the license allows it, running a Windows VM on computer that shipped with a Windows license shouldn't be a problem.
I’m sorry but this seems like a very disingenuous argument.

Saying the human “created” the content is a bit of a stretch. The people who created ChatGPT have absolutely no idea what it is going to say to any given prompt. The human creates the function but has limited control over the output.

When I go on the internet to read an article what I want is to experience the world through that other human’s eyes, or more accurately through that other person’s mental models. That person will have accumulated those mental models through every single experience up until the point they write that article. The article is a snapshot of that person’s mind in time, shaped by an entire lifetime.

An AI article at the current moment in time is no such thing. It is a mimic of human experience. It takes other people’s experiences and imitates them but it has no hard fought wisdom of its own. It has no tether to reality, it has not experienced, as a consequence of it’s decision making, real pain, shame, fear, love, excitement, joy. It has only a simulated version based on artificial parameters supplied by a programmer. It does not know death and cannot die if it makes the wrong decision. It has no real stake in the game of life. That is fine if what I want is technical information to solve some mundane problem but if I want actionable life advice, if I want to feel connection, if I want to experience what it is to be another human in another snapshot in time, then no, an AI dupe absolutely isn’t fine.

I can’t even be sure if the comment I’m rebutting is real or a bot. If it’s a bot then I am being shortchanged out of my life. I am wasting precious time debating with something that has no awareness of life or death. If I continue to engage, the programmer of the bot is stealing life away from me. The best I can hope for in that scenario is that other, real people read the comment and get some kind of value out of it.

The whole thing just feels gross and I honestly feel like this might be the end of it for me and text based media. And at the rate things are developing, probably the entire internet.

It could very feasibly get to the point where there’s so much fake stuff that people don’t trust anything on the internet at all. With half the world shouting fake news we’re almost there pre-AI, let alone after it. How is anyone meant to operate in such an environment of deception? Why would anyone want to?

I think eventually you'll run into prompt length limitations. I think (but am not even close to qualified in this field) that the attention mechanism is quadratic in complexity so either there's a hardcoded limit or you'll just run out of resources. I think the next major advancement would be to find a way to maintain internal/hidden state that's updated over time like an RNN does instead of having to append to a prompt

"How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question" by Michael Schur is my favorite read of the year.

It's an introduction to the philosophy of ethics through real-life examples and anecdotes by the creator of The Good Place TV show (the audio book even features the shows actors). Unlike most of philosphy stuff you can actually finish it in couple of days and feel like you learned a whole lot!

In particular it helped me with my ethics choice anxiety and introduced me to Aristotel's "be the best version of yourself" philosophy which is such a liberating way of thinking.
CHAP. II seems to indicate that what the world is experiencing now, and experienced at the turn of the twentieth century, is a recurring phenomenon: a growing, systemic asymmetry in power and wealth, un-remedied and eventually resulting in a catastrophic reorganisation of the social order (and then the cycle restarts).
Circular logic: this is exactly the problem at hand. But we can go further:

Disinformation campaigns are generally self-serving, so there is another conditional distribution on profit, or perhaps more measurably, resource expenditure.

So if you see somebody spending money to censor a belief that profits nobody, and promote a belief that profits themselves, it warrants heavy suspicion.
