> where people went out of their way to install it

You mean, when Google went out of his way to make people install it. It is delusional to believe that the average PC user installed Chrome for its technical merit. They installed Chrome because there were advertisements everywhere, from subway to Youtube, and, above all IMHO, because ‶the Internet (understand google.com) said I have to install Chrome to go fast″. And that's not counting the heaps of installs that must have come from Chrome being bundled in adware installers and sneakily setting itself as the default browser.
The upvotes are from other pedants who dislike the wording, I presume. It's entertaining, and I understand the argument, but I do wonder if such people also avoid sentences like "primates evolved opposable thumbs so that they could be more dextrous". This kind of language is clearly a proxy for an overly verbose articulation of the process of evolution over and over again. It's an approximation.
In this particular case, we're talking about people being banned sometimes before ever even playing their first multiplayer game because of an anti-cheat system with a kernel-level driver and ML-assisted autobans producing a lot of false positives.

But yes, people who are actually using cheats are manipulating/attacking the service they're using and deserve nothing from the companies who are trying to defend against it.
Evolution is an intelligence in the same way people call anything AI: it's a system which can learn and adapt.

The fact that you originally didn’t know that Ada is heavily used in embedded clearly shows you don’t know it. Even though you edited your reply, any reader should seriously doubt your claim that “certain things are quite difficult” in Ada. Do you know that in Ada, you don’t have to use pointers or heap memory nearly as much as other languages such as C and C++? You can even write programs that don’t even use any. That avoids a whole class of issues.

One of the extra advantages with Ada is that you can decide to utilize the SPARK variant and do formal proofs on software components that are more critical. I invite you and and others to watch the presentation by Altrans where they talk about 30+ years of SPARK usage to help develop ultra low defect software: https://youtu.be/VKPmBWTxW6M
Hard Disk Sentinel is great for helping with this. The developer has been at it for years, figured out all kinds of quirks of different disks and controllers.
Edge Impulse does everything you described. It has a really nice web UI that lets you collect and annotate data, extract features, train a model, and bake it into a microcontroller image for inference. It supports a good chunk of microcontrollers and SBCs out there.

At some point the text will become undetectable. The same happens for image generating Networks.
The detection works by detecting a statistical discrepancy between the AI output and "real" data. The goal of the AI in training is also to close that gap, the better the network, the harder it is to detect and the more output data you would need to get any significant results.

Music collection is typically “write once, read forever”. It’s hard to estimate the lifetime of such read-only SSDs, but it’s measured in decades, if it’s regularly powered on and read entirely. If it’s not powered for years, you’re going to risk data loss due to thermal noise flipping bits randomly beyond the built-in ECC capabilities. If you keep it powered on, you still need to regularly scrub it (i.e. read all data) to force the firmware to fix and write back flipped bits. Some firmwares may do this periodically by themselves, but it’s a black box, so you must do it yourself to be sure.

I wouldn’t recommend relying on a single drive for long-term storage of anything that’s worth more than ~$1000 - neither with SSDs nor HDDs. Freak accidents can happen with any component. You PSU can go rogue and fry your SSD, etc.

The best option is most likely a single local drive with continuous mirroring to a cloud service. The drawback is the ongoing cost of the cloud, and the possibility of partial data loss, because cloud mirroring won’t be instantenous when saving bulk data.

A local RAID1 array is cost-efficient, but doesn’t save you from black-swan events like floods or house fires.
You're applying a logically fallacy here.

For every vocal critic there are many more tolerant silent critics.

I.e. your sample is skewed if you think about the people who "hate" the other side.

Instead you need to sample the entire population the most tolerant won't even be voting or keeping an eye on politics.

Sounds like the revolution comes from what happens when you sweat.

I read that most waterproof fabrics do a good job of keeping water out. It's what happens when you sweat that makes the difference.

If there's water on the outer layer .. the sweat staying inside (soaking you from within). This is where this fabric excels .. removing the external water layer; allowing sweat to exit.

Does the software actually need to plan the rest stops precisely? Planning to drive X hours over Y hours of real time doesn’t require choosing where the rest stops are in advance, which allows a driver to stop where convenient depending on traffic and other conditions. But if charging is required, then the stop needs to be at a charger, which is a much stronger constraint.
I dunno, is that really possible/sustainable? I suppose we add information to the system by poking it with prompts, and to some extent that gets encoded in the outputs. But I feel like if you're feeding it things that don't contain a new, fresh signal, you're ultimately going to fit to noise; the more of it's own input it ingests, the less meaningful the network would be, and presumably the more nonsensical the output. But I don't actually know how this stuff works, I'm genuinely asking.

I agree OpenAI have something going on here, I'd assumed it was that they wanted to know the strategies we came up with for bypassing their filters, and to get into a cat and mouse game with us so that they could improve them to the point of being productized. Also, marketing, both sales, recruitment, and mindshare.

ETA: I think I underestimated before the extent to which the output is often just your own words reflected back to you, in which case, it may well be adding more signal then noise.

Still, some prompts return a walk of text from a single sentence, and I have to imagine those are worse then useless for training.

"98.47% of Twitter contributions" is a totally valid statement. The percentage of the dollars contributed is 98.47%.

Your argument is totally dishonest. It's infuriating. What are you saying? That because it's possible 14,137 Twitter employees donated $1 each to the republicans and 1 person donated the other 900K, we can ignore this 98.47% figure entirely?

Second of all, the dollar measurement is not a useless one. It is a measure of wealth, influence, and conviction in the cause. Those Republicans donating $1 probably aren't in charge of censorship. The guy who donated $900K though...

Third, this is Twitter we're talking about. They are headquartered in San Francisco, a very blue city in a very blue state. Their employees are young educated techies. I have friends who work there and have visited their office several times.

Point is, you're not fooling anybody but yourself. Enjoy your motivated reasoning.

When Chrome initially appeared, it was pretty much on par with Firefox, not significantly better. What made it succeed is great marketing and being forced and pushed down every possible Google channel there was, including being preinstalled on Android phones.
There is no legal limit for non commercial drivers in the US though? Certainly it's a bad idea and impractical to drive for, say, 24 hours without stopping, but not illegal?
People don't have enough time to step back from their tools and think about what the ideal thing would look like.

I'm convinced this entire space should be visual. We always visualize data pipelines in our minds and on whiteboards...well, visually. Two-way code-diagram syncing is needed to allow best of both worlds. We should serialize to yaml from imperative code, but allow manipulating the diagram to modify the imperative code.

Ideally what you want is also to track the dependencies of every atom of data in your org, and then have something cache and incrementally compute updates.

The biggest thorn in this vision is SQL and the relational model, and I don't think a lot of people realize it.

It favors representing data such that the query planner can optimize query execution...rather than being able to track data dependencies and visualize data flow. It wasn't designed in mind with complex ETL pipelines and many external data sources of today's world.

Random recoil is less fun, it stops being a skill that rewards mastery and becomes another fudging factor in a skill-based game.

And for what? Because you think Cronus is too hard to detect?

No cheat should be tolerated, let alone compromised with to the point of fudging the game. Should racing games counter Cronus by removing difficult corners that rely on predictable turns? Should games avoid entire categories of mechanics just to work around Cronus? Fuck that, Activision should continue investing in protecting the creative integrity of their product, not conceding. Anti-cheat systems have gotten incredibly sophisticated with incredible gains in cheat detection, and it didn't get there by giving up.

Being closed minded is a justifiable defense in some circumstances. The ability to consider counter-factuals is often (and perhaps inherently) leakly. I mean, that once someone has entertained an idea, and relied on it to think about secondary and tertiary effects, they’re more likely to believe the premise… even if they have no additional information about the accuracy the initial premise. It’s an effective form of manipulation / gaslighting.

> How do you know the AI does not?

Easy, GPT-3 doesn't provide a coherent world view. Just ask it about the things it tells you, and it will quickly start to directly contradicting itself, like "A is true" and then say "A is not true". Humans don't do that so blatantly, unless they have Alzheimer's or similar which makes it hard to tell if the human is still intelligent or not.

Gpt-3 is like looking up random parts of the internet with your queries, and changing them a little will lead you to a site that tells a completely different story. That is the most reasonable explanation to why it behaves as above.

> The problem with autonomous driving is if you were to swap all cars on the road to autonomous ones and banned pedestrians and cyclists except for traffic light controlled crossings, it would go swimmingly

Breath of the Wild has probably in part been designed the way it was because Nintendo knew you could take your switch with you during travel; 15mn seems like a difficult goal to achieve for an exploration-focused game.

Pretty big “if” they’re chief. While they very well may not have any demand issues, I’m going to go out on a limb and say they’ll probably will have supply issues. Launching the production of a new model is no walk in the park and the organization already seems to have problems with QA on the existing models.
