"new york" - with garlic

When I was in Australia about ten years back, McDonald's was running a promo called "Tastes of America" with three themed burgers that were about what you'd expect: the California one had avocado and aioli or something, the Texas had salsa and onions, and the New York burger had extra pickles and garlic.
Capabilities and permissions are the same thing. The app needs a capability or permission for it to use an API. The whole point is that an app should have permission or the capabilities to the minimum amount of things in order for it to work.
It is a question of quality. I'll take anything that is well written and insightful.

Posts like the Expert Beginner series [0] and anything ACOUP [1] I'll read and re-read. I keep a list of articles that have shaped my way of thinking. Most of what is on Medium et al can be discarded. Similarly, large amounts of books, mainly non-fiction, can be lobbed on the same pile. Many of which would have been better off as an article in the first place.

Seems like it has more parallels to the AI Winter of the 1970s. https://builtin.com/artificial-intelligence/ai-winter

In particular the collapse of faith in the future of Tesla’s full self driving, and self-driving cars generally, has been palpable.
Your comment made me think of a New Yorker cartoon¹:

I'm not sure the net effect will be negative. Cheaper and more follow along audiobooks for people with dislexia, a voice for people who lost their own. Lots of bad stuff too sure. But your first point is spot on. There is no stopping it. AI has come to replace all creative endeavors with poorer quality regurgitated substitutes leaving human created things as a luxury for the wealthy... Except people will not stop singing, painting, writing, or coding and too many people enjoy doing those things for the price to ever go too high. Except law clerks, and contract lawyers. They will probably just go away, but now they can pick that paintbrush up, or get the band back together. Or code up an unauthorized sttng game with synthetic vocals for picard.

It doesn't take much. I live near the Potomac, just upstream of Great Falls and DC. People drown on the flat stretches every summer. Usually a family picnic, somebody goes for a quick dip, and never returns. It looks calm. It isn't.

And just downstream, world class kayakers paddle Great Falls for fun and practice.

It's wild (and sad) to think about the two groups of river users.
Not true. The wealthy were more than happy to employ peasants. Even as late as 1800, hundreds of years after the feudal system, 78% of Europeans were peasants.

Rust for Java developers, part 2
A follow up post on the previous Rust for Java developers, an introduction - posted last week. This one goes deeper into ownership and the borrow checker among a few other things.
DALL-E 2 was a LOT better than Stable Diffusion. Sure it was open source but it was clearly a generation behind. Great if you didn't mind your inputs looking like last year's AI output.
I joke with my wife that I'll always be around to bug her, even after I pass. She'll carry my brain around in a jar ala Futurama and talk to me that way.

But, obviously, the technology is getting to the point where a decade or so from now she'll be able to have a GPT-like chat with me with my own voice. The first company to offer that to the loved ones of a deceased person will make a fortune, not for any mode of deception but just to soothe the hurt.

The Mission Impossible films have maintained high quality despite an absurd number of sequels.

Having just re watched Gremlins with teenage children (for their first time), there is definitely something about that era of movies.

Dodgy animatronics were first scoffed at, and then forgotten pretty quickly as everyone just got into the pure enjoyment of that movie.

This is a nigh on 40 year old film, with a lot of target references, yet it still hits the mark..

That said, rewatched transformers too, purely for the joy of the initial transformation (childhood toys coming to life..), and thoroughly enjoyed it (though it's already feeling a bit dated).
what a coincidence this article was just 4h ago linked here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34308734 and is similar policymaker influencing pseudo science conflating correlation and causation...
Yes, it is. Capability based security by definition just requires that apps have a list of a capabilities and those capabilities govern what APIs / resources it has access to. There is no requirement of dependency injection. That is an implementation choice.
ChatGPT has probably seen plenty of half-baked excercise/homework snake implementations on Github to tell that this is another one of those.

(Yes, this is moving the goalposts and implying that true AI is just over the horizon...)
Not a good look for Google here.
I have a bit of an idea banging around in my head for a Furby-based project aimed at making it a lot more intelligent while still keeping the uncanny aesthetic:

* The furby's motions are controlled by one motor and a series of cams and gears, so it should be fairly straightforward to pull out its brains and attach the motor and position sensor to a suitable controller to allow a raspberry pi to control its movements. I've seen this done before (someone put an Alexa in their furby this way) but I think they were only running the motor when the pi was putting out audio, I'd quite like more fine-grained control so it can do all the movements it originally was capable of.

* The unusable crappy speaker and microphone should be pulled out and replaced with better equivalents (maybe even an okay quality one for dual use as a horrifying bluetooth speaker). RGB LEDs could be fitted behind its eyes for added nightmare fuel and another way to express mood. The IR gear could be kept in situ and hooked up to the Pi for some nefarious TV-related uses. I quite like the idea of a proximity sensor too so it can sense people's presence and accelerometers to sense how it's being handled.

* I'll have to fit the furby on some kind of plinth to hold all the new gear because there's no way I'm fitting all this stuff and enough batteries to run it in the original casing. Getting it all running off a bog standard USB-C connection would be nice, might even be able to figure out how to share an internet connection this way to avoid wifi-related hassle.

* I was going to use MycroftAI as its new 'brain' but I think finding some way of hooking it up to ChatGPT might be more fun! Either way I need some kind of text-to-speech and speech-to-text working on the pi for this to happen.

Anyone got any suggestions/improvements to this idea?
OK. Bye. But use the extra time to find out what ad hominem is.

Given advances in technology, I'm not so sure it has to be a blockbuster for there to be a comparison. Especially given how formulaic blockbusters can be. (Eg there are 6 Transformers movies, with 2 more in development.) Drive (2011) is an indie movie, costing an estimated $20 million (inflation adjusted) compared to almost $220 for Terminator 2. Everything Everywhere All At Once cost $25 million to make, just over the threshold of "indie".

Comparing computing power is a bit handwavey, but former Pixar employee Chris Good estimated that the SPARCstation 20 render farm cluster that rendered Toy Story had only half the power of the 2014 Apple iPhone 6. https://www.quora.com/How-much-faster-would-it-be-to-render-...

Terminator 2 is widely recognised as an amazing piece of filmmaking, film scholars included.

I believe Paul Thomas Anderson partially left film school because his professor was shitting on the movie. And he was damn right.

Wait, Arnold shot the guy in the gun shop? I haven't seen the movie in ten years, but I think that's prior to the shootout at the police station?
As of late I keep hearing/reading/seeing that the original author of Terminator and the Matrix is Sophia Stewart. It seems even the FBI ruled in her favor, yet both wikipedia pages have not mentioned her at all. Is this a case of really good fake news, as of late, or Wikipedia simply hasn't caught up?
But You can keep CDC choices in memory and if there is update to one chunk, just compute new boundaries from that chunk until next boundaries matches? A bit more code to write but doable?
It's definitely not childish to not want to be a manager, but beware trying to have it both ways - power without responsibility, autonomy without accountability etc. That would actually be childish.

As others have noted, the most straightforward thing to do here is to hire a manager to do most of what your current job entails and for you to move into senior/tech lead position. But if you do that and give up hiring, then you won't get a choice as to who to work with. If you give up supervising marketing's proposals, then you'll have to work to work on hair-brained ideas you could have veto'd in your current role. You give up mentoring/supervising junior folks and well, you'll still have to deal with their lower quality contributions, etc.

As you contemplate giving up this role, make sure you're ok giving up all the privileges that come with it as well.
Really ? Crap I thought we’d have a couple of star systems in there…
See also the trailers for "Predator". Movie is still fantastic, but plays out so much better if you don't know the nature of the predator.
Sounds like you encountered a "rip" [0]; usually letting it take you out and then swimming after the current eases is the safest thing to do. At school (Oceania) we get taught this as part of water safety, but I suppose it would be a foreign concept to many people, particularly those not living near the coast.

I think that's a pretty apt summary of the state of digital ID in Germany: Commendable technical basis (with some privacy-preserving aspects too, including selective assertions, e.g. "older than 18" or "EU citizen").

When I called about actually getting such an ID card (several times) as a non-citizen, which is explicitly mentioned as a feature of the scheme, I only received the acoustic equivalent of blank stares.

If the tractor is my property, I don't understand what gives John Derr the right to prevent me from modifying it how I see fit.

Some tips on where to begin to learn more about nature and survive in the wild? Maybe an REI class?

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that should I ever venture out into the wilderness, I would definitely not survive. I lack basic survival skills and nature would eat me alive.

That being said, I always admired folks who could go camping for days (or weeks), who could cook up a warm (and edible) meal over a campfire.
Thanks a lot, that's a great intro to many useful tools.
I have 2 questions.

Managing dependencies

"If you’re developing a library, use nothing. Let your users decide, and give them as much flexibility as possible to maximize compatibility (don’t pin, unless to exclude some known-to-fail version ranges)."
What does this "nothing" contain? :-) A `requirements.txt`?
Do you test the library with various versions of that dependency (e.g. with tox)?
There is always a little sublimation, anyway.

> A malicious server can trick the client into using the same key while talking to the server during the initial registration protocol and while talking to other users in the E2E protocol.

this is bad

> we show that the attacker can trick a user into creating a valid vouch box and sending it to the attacker. This allows the attacker to impersonate the client to the server forever.

This attack means that, under some circumstances, a user might compromise his or her own account by simply sending a message to another user.

Yikes
Notepad works too! I think the key is to force yourself to actively think when reading, and if you don't want to do that, then don't bother reading. Obsidian helps because of the ease to linking other notes, and that I think it a big benefit when you start having a bunch of notes.
Docker

"Using a virtual environment inside a Docker container is perhaps over-the-top, but it provides extra isolation from the base image’s own Python dependencies, and the entire /venv folder can be copied over between stages if you need."

Do you have some use cases in mind when this can be handy?
You seem to be referring to "pop" nonfiction books about one specific claim, not biography or history or a textbook or a monograph. There are many great accessible nonfiction books, like those from Isaacson or Gleick.

What makes such a nonfiction book different from a fiction book, which is usually just a bag of tropes?
The benchmarks were run on MacOS, and actually execute an interrupt for debugging, MacOS then checks if the process is being debugged. Wasm3 just exit(1) and prints a message.

This is a lazy tweet.

ChatGPT is trivially useful in a lot of cases...The other day I asked it to write marketing copy for a project and it wrote _better_ marketing copy than I could have written in an hour. On another project, I spent 10 minutes integrating the OpenAI library and was programmatically receiving incredible results with almost no effort.

The nature of predicting the future means that there will be periods of overconfidence. In the case of Web3 (taken to mean blockchain/crypto/digital coins), the overconfidence was fueled by a core ponzi scheme combined with truly extraordinary returns for early speculators. But AI has no ponzi scheme attached to it so the comparison breaks down. My uncle cannot gamble his retirement on a mysterious promise of überwealth from a man with wild hair and no financial experience.

AI companies will have lots of false starts but 2022 was a transformational year and we are only getting started.
> and implies a trust relationship with Google to return authentic packages.

The entire point of the sumdb (go.sum), is to prevent the need for such a relationship. If Google (or any proxy you use) tries to return questionable packages, it will be detected by that system.
>> I have to specify blockbuster because otherwise it doesn’t make much sense to compare Terminator to a small indie movie

I thought Terminator was a relatively low budget movie. Not an indie though.
I guess the main takeaway is that you do not need much in order for something to be Turing-complete. On the other hand this should hardly be surprising, all you need is something to store a state and the ability to alter the state in a few different ways depending on the current state, and of course the ability to do this over and over again. The more surprising thing should maybe be that this is all you need and that adding more features does not buy you any additional power. Then again, having some state and being able to manipulate it conditionally is a very generic building block, what else could you possibly do? So maybe it should not even be that surprising that this is all you need.
