They don't have to provide the service. They can charge money for the service (but then they probably will go bankrupt because few people are willing to pay for it, because the service isn't that great).

They can show ads on the service. They can even ask people to opt in to targeted advertising.

What they can't do is harvest people's personal data to monetize the service.

In other words: You can give away potatoes for free. You can sell potatoes for money. You can sell potatoes for onions. You can, in many countries, even sell potatoes for sexual favors, although there will be some rules to protect against exploitation. What you cannot do, in most countries, is sell potatoes for kidneys, and you most definitely can't sell potatoes while surreptitiously removing customer's kidneys and hoping they don't notice or care enough because they have two and you're only taking one.

This post was likely motivated by a current comment thread re this vulnerability, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33009721, see there for some information on its impact.

Also discussed in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33009721 two months ago (42 points, 37 comments) with the participation of the researchers.
There are fast drivers and reckless drivers. The latter ones are indeed dangerous, the former ones are usually more alert.

Of course, from an outsider perspective it is difficult to distinguish.
If they are really just now "starting" research, they could do worse than to consult prior art, eg the US, which has published works several works (since at least 1914) on programs aimed at domestic public opinion.
It's wrong. Does this mean as a hooman I've failed a Turing test? You have my entire corpus on hand here which predates GPT general release, find a long one from times past and see what it says? I'd argue this suggests the bot detector has a weak language model.

If this genuinely interests you, I can suggest several sources of writing by others which I suggest would fail the test.
"sign-in with" buttons mostly implement something like OAuth2 or OpenID protocol communicating with the authority (i.e. Google) server. Signing up/in the ordinary email way (when you enter your e-mail address directly into the 1-st party website without getting redirected to GMail/Facebook/whatever) does not, even if the email address is hosted on GMail. It either doesn't communicate to Google at all or just sends a simple email message to your address using bare SMTP. This is the nature of the difference and it is huge from the technical point of view.

There are downsides to both. Arguably those of the second are more annoying but less harmful.

The first downside I found (the moment I stopped use "Sign-in with GMail") - Google was passing additional non-essential privacy-compromising information about me besides my ID to the websites I signed-in to..

In case people still aren't paying attention, at this years WWDC "Platforms State of the Union" keynote.

"The Objective-C language, AppKit & UIKit frameworks, and Interface Builder have empowered generations of developers. These technologies were built for each other, and will continue to serve us well for a long time to come, but over time new abstractions become necessary. For a while now, you've seen us hard at work defining the next generation of integrated language, frameworks, and tools: Swift, SwiftUI, and Xcode Previews.

Tight integration in a development platform like this requires that all three pieces be designed and evolved together, both driving and driven by one another. Swift result builders were inspired by SwiftUI's compositional structure. SwiftUI's declarative views were enabled by Swift value types. And Xcode Previews was specifically designed for, and enabled by, both. Now, the result is the best development platform that we have ever built. And this year, Swift, SwiftUI, and Xcode all have fantastic updates that take this vision further, and make it even easier for you to build great apps for all of our platforms. And it all starts with Swift."

>duty life demands of you

I have no duty towards life. I didn't choose to be born, did I? In fact, I vegetate waiting to have enough strength to suppress my fear of death and kill myself.

Yes, I've tried therapy in the last 15 years. Yes, I've tried exercise, meditation, journaling, workaholism, idleness, religion, philosophy, science and so on and on. I just want to be done. Every evening I pray to deities I don't believe in: "Have mercy on my suffering, do not make me wake up".

So, no: there is no duty towards anything, just the futility of existence in itself.

I find it distasteful that the answer is a brand name instead of an active ingredient. not all brands are available worldwide, and it's better to know what it is made of to check for actual options.

It also makes people think happen by magic instead of letting them learn about what makes the glue work.

You see something similar around the UK, and particularly in Scotland where the terrain wasn't conducive to long coaxial cable links - mostly squat squarish towers that used to hold either microwave horns or (later) dishes.

You can see one in the link below, the tower on the left. The one on the right was (when I used to maintain kit up on this site) run by Scottish Power as part of their communications network, with tower space leased to other customers. Just visible at the top of the left tower are two 156MHz folded dipoles used for VHF marine communications in the Clyde estuary, which went to two old Philips VHF transceivers in the wooden shed you can see in the enclosure behind the fence. That was replaced by a metal shed about ten years ago when I went to site one day and found that a combination of rotten wood and the depredations of rabbits along the bottom of the timbers and a particularly severe gale had made it "sink" by about 18"!

Some of the sites on the west coast were quite interesting, with Mallaig having UHF and VHF links stretching 30 miles or so to remote islands with no real line-of-site. The VHF link to Canna just south of Skye carried a single call on around 80MHz (I think it was 84MHz/76MHz split, can't remember) which fed a tiny ten-line telephone exchange. There was a six-channel link to Rhum, a little to the east, which was a much larger island and had a more conventional exchange.

All gone now, and done using IP over 6 or 24GHz microwave links to little 1U servers in the exchanges.

I used to sell on half.com . My dad was a college professor and would get free sample textbooks from the publishers that wanted him to consider them for his classes. He'd give them to me to sell

But my most memorable sale was to see the name of a classmate on my half.com portal. I just handed him the book in class one day instead of having to take it to the post office.

I'd also buy deeply discounted old editions from the school bookstore to resell. They still had resale value because not all schools would update to the latest book right away.

I moved to south of spain 3 years ago without knowing spanish except a few words to order a beer, ask for the bill and where are the toilets.

I did a bit of duolingo that helped me just grow enough confidence to learn the basic stuff.

Then I met what is now my girlfriend in a language exchange event and my level grew steadily that people in latin america say I am speaking really well. I still struggle a bit sometimes in south of spain but that is just because they speak in an awful way, like they would be drunk 24h a day and it costs the same to native spanish speaker to understand them.

One of the first things Scrum says is that you need to have a team with skills that ensures the job done. Same with Agile: literally says about "motivated individuals" and "self-organizing teams". So, arguably, you are not talking about Scrum nor Agile in those failing projects - you just share this naive view I saw in some managers: "we just put scrum master here and thus we have scrum implemented".

Being alert doesn’t change the laws of physics.

You are putting others at risk by driving faster because for example the increased forces on your tire dramatically increase the risks of a blowout. They are less able to deal with avoiding obstacles not only from reaction time issues but because their increased momentum makes turning slower. And it keeps going, excess speed doesn’t seem like a big deal but there’s a reason it kills so many people in other vehicles.

What would be useful is a clear explanation of the workings of these scams - I mean it took me halfway through this thread to work out he was pressured to repay an uncleared cheque.

And the "sex in your area" scam someone mentioned - I simply assumed that sort of thing is real (some kind of scuzzy meetup thing) as opposed to a scam (not sure how it works - presumably pay up before getting the number of the gorgeous woman who wants sex now! Admittedly cannot see a big difference between that and reputable dating agencies :-)

So yeah a public safety website for scams might be useful.

Wasabi pancakes sounds good

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons wasabi paste

Directions

Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Combine the milk, butter and wasabi paste; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.

Step 2
Drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto a greased griddle or skillet. Cook until golden brown on both sides.

> But ChatGPT isn’t a step along the path to an artificial general intelligence that understands all human knowledge and texts; it’s merely an instrument for playing with all that knowledge and all those texts.

No arguments provided in support of this claim.

Clearly ChatGPT has serious limitations, and it's "pretty dumb" in many respects. At the same time it's a miracle that ChatGPT works as well as it does. It translates, it summarizes, it writes poems, it explains science concepts, it solves puzzles. And it's a general purpose thing that does it all. It's not AGI, obviously, but is it a step towards AGI? Maybe!

People underestimate how impactful incremental improvements to this tech will be in the next couple of years. It will get way, way, better even in the absence of conceptual breakthroughs.

We (the matrix team) addressed the implementation vulnerabilities discussed here back in September: https://matrix.org/blog/2022/09/28/upgrade-now-to-address-en....

The only pending work is switching to TOFU (trust on first use) and client-controlled room membership. Currently users get warned if a malicious device or user gets added to a room by a malicious server (assuming users in the room are verified). However, rather than warning, we could block it outright - but this is nontrivial as it means clients have to independently replicate the group membership semantics the server currently handles, which are complicated in a decentralised environment.

https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/fay... is the work ongoing to shift membership to be controlled clientside, and https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals/blob/fay... is the work ongoing to shift to TOFU.

Meanwhile, this work is blocked behind switching to matrix-rust-sdk-crypto across Element on Web, iOS and Android, so we only fix this in one (audited) place - and can also build on the newly audited vodozemac implementation of Matrix’s encryption: https://matrix.org/blog/2022/05/16/independent-public-audit-.... This work is going well though - I for one have been dogfooding ElementR (Element with rust-sdk-crypto) on iOS as my daily driver for the last week, and we should be releasing it shortly.
No, I'm not sure it's accurate because it's guessed by looking at suppressed demand.

There's no central register of unmetered power generation, the assumption used is that if on a windy day mysteriously we're buying 25GW from the grid across the country, while on a similar but calm day it was 30GW that suggests 5GW of electricity is not being purchased when it's windy, implying 5GW of unmetered electricity supply from wind.

And there are presumably other embedded systems making up some of that 5GW estimate. Farms just seem obvious because 1) I've seen farms with wind turbines 2) They're industrial scale electricity users, often occupying terrain very suitable for a wind turbine
There is a new editor called zed from atom developers featuring native performance and CRDT collaboration.
What I always find so disappointing is, that you might get an almost perfect image out of it, but then there is something decisive very wrong. Like a fifth leg on an anmial oder persons with 3 arms. Or the face completely missing in an otherwise good rendering.

So while the results often are astonishing - I am still faszinated that it is possible to create realistic images just from a short text input - this shows that there is no true intelligence behind this. It will be interesting when this gap can be breached.

Till then, I can hope that there will be good tooling around SD, which make image creation easier by offering a good UI to make iterations easier and allow the user to guide the creation better.
I started to focus less on development.

This was my track, it will be different for others, but: seniority meant understanding user / business problems and then making better decisions about what to build.

I enjoy the quip that “juniors find complicated solutions to simple problems, mids find complex solutions to complex problems and seniors find simple solutions for complex problems”.

Sometimes the best thing you can do as a dev is to re-frame the problem, and I think a certain level of experience or confidence is needed to do that. But you can definitely cultivate the skill and get there sooner.
You mean calling the adversary Mallory? Yes, this is standard. The term mallory-in-the-middle is not, as you can confirm with one Google search. There's barely anyone using this term, and nobody was using it 4 years ago.

At first, I thought that Mallory-in-the-middle was some special type of man-in-the-middle attack. In crypto, Mallory is a very specific type of adversary (active one, I think).
