I spent about an hour doing it in total and youtube has been fine ever since. Any video that isn't along the lines I want to watch and I just drop the entire channel, no thinking. Clickbait? Then I'm not interested in your channel. Cute animal video? Nope, wont watch anything from you, etc.

Its well worth the effort if you watch youtube a lot. You can still find them in search, just wont get any recommends from them any more, so you wont be missing anything that you explicitly want to find.
People can make ML mistakes if they don't learn ML. Some of the mistakes can be uncovered by testing, but only if you know enough about ML to know how to test it. Some mistakes just you with a bad model that could have been better.

How is Indonesia not an Islamic nation when now several of its provinces are legally ruled by shariah law interpreted by mullahs, not by representatives or leaders elected by the people, and when the government makes federal (parliamentary?) laws enforcing various muslim beliefs and laws?
I vouched for them. I looked at their profile and didn't see any reason for a shadow ban.
One watt is one joule per second. What exactly do you mean by "a per-second measure"?
well, in my personal opinion they shot themselves in the foot when:

- they ditch their own extension system (which was far more powerful) to go hunt for leprechauns with google "unified extensions system" (read Google-Controled extensions system)

- when they stopped servo development (yeah... there is lack of money, but not to pay the big ones on the top, right)

- They give the boot to Brendan Eich (yeah... the Brave browser guy)

- They spend coding time with useless features (oh i can mention a few... but lets start with those colorful themes that no one cares about..........)

- i can go on and on... and on.......

but... all in all, i'm HEAVY a Firefox user!!! (because there is nothing else to choose from)
Repost: Distributed Service-Sector Productivity
That's fair. The last time I looked into the space of what happens on a reset on x86, hardware roots of trust were significantly less important to the point of not really being on my radar.
There's also no advertising relationships that would dissuade anyone from bashing. This is not to say that Tesla doesn't deserve the bashing (it does).
> One thought that occurred to me after this investigation was the premise that the immense bleeding-edge models of today with billions of parameters might be able to be built using orders of magnitude fewer network resources by using more efficient or custom-designed architectures.

I'm pretty convinced that something equivalent to GPT could run on consumer hardware today, and the only reason it doesn't is because OpenAI has a vested interest in selling it as a service.

It's the same as Dall-E and Stable Diffusion - Dall-E makes no attempt to run on consumer hardware because it benefits OpenAI to make it so large that you must rely on someone with huge resources (i.e. them) to use it. Then some new research shows that effectively the same thing can be done on a consumer GPU.

I'm aware that there's plenty of other GPT-like models available on Huggingface, but (to my knowledge) there is nothing that reaches the same quality that can run on consumer hardware - yet.
Indonesia is not an Islamic state, but it is an Islamic nation. These are different. Malaysia's constitution guarantees freedom of religion, making the state secular despite the official religion.

FWIW, the structure of your reply implies that "secular islamic nation" is a contradiction in terms. Maybe that was intentional, but if so it works better as a reply to GP.
As far as I'm aware, there's a number of browser extensions out there that change the default YouTube experience for the better. Might be worth looking into of the customizations available fits your needs.
You’ve moved the goal posts. First, it was “Bluetooth sucks generally” and now it’s “Bluetooth might not always be an option for various corner-case reasons.”

Interference I suppose exists, but I live in an urban area with close neighbors and it’s never come up. Nor has it come up on planes, or in other public areas I’ve been in with many Bluetooth users, so I guess I’ll have to take your word for it.

I dunno anything about “awful Bluetooth mic quality.” I prefer to do calls at my desk with a wired headset, but I’m not always there, and folks generally seem to think my AirPods sound fine. I know for a fact that many of my customer parties are using AirPods, and they sound fine to me, too —- better than any number of crappy wired headsets I also see in use on calls, for sure.

I recently bought an audio setup for my motorcycle helmet, which is of course Bluetooth; my wife reports that my voice is clear and clean from there at any speed below about 35MPH, at which point wind noise becomes an apparently insurmountable problem.

Bluetooth for audio is great. It sounds awesome with decent gear — far better than we got 15 years ago with wired buds, and (with good headphones) easily as good as the fancy needs-an-amp headphones I have around. Declaring that Bluetooth headphones are, as a class, unreliable and of low quality (as you did above) suggests you to have an axe to grind about Bluetooth, but it’s an axe without any substance.

This is entirely separate from the set of corner cases where Bluetooth isn’t viable, such as in an old car with no such connectivity. But that’s not a problem with Bluetooth itself, and doesn’t justify claiming Bluetooth is universally crappy.
It exists: it’s macOS.
Star Trek at least still used non-AI counselors. Though a model trained on the known output of Deanna Troi wouldn’t be very helpful. :D

This article has a key explanation:

“ The laser diverts lightning bolts by creating an easier path for the electrical discharge to flow down. When laser pulses are fired into the sky, a change in the refractive index of the air makes them shrink and become so intense that they ionise air molecules around them. This leads to a long chain of what the researchers call filaments in the sky, where air molecules rapidly heat up and race away at supersonic speeds, leaving a channel of low density, ionised air. These channels, which last for milliseconds, are more electrically conductive than the surrounding air, and so form an easier path for the lightning to follow.”

I think of it a lot like sports. Ppl see some product/company as their team, and identify with it. Of course they’re coming in with that perspective to any conversation.
As most people working on these are probably aware, this is very easy to implement in a 3d engine using a quaternion orientation that rotates the WASD vectors, updating position and view orientation accordingly. Can do it with FPS friendly things like WASD + Q and E for roll, and space and C for up/dn.

And blockers on patching this into the editor?

You know, this is the exact reason why the "left" v "right" thing is do damned obnoxious.

Good ideas are good regardless of political party.

Barring several wedge issues that parties exploit to maximize outrage reaction in order to gain power, most people are pretty closely aligned on stuff like this.

I feel like if you polled the US population on this, 80+ percent of folks would be in favor of eliminating non-competes, regardless of political affiliation.

I agree with you though, that this is one of those good policy items that's historically been a casualty of tribalism and "campaign finance" aka bribes.
Good question, but I think we have to keep going. What about veterans who use it for a while? Are they helped or harmed? Does it make them more or less likely to talk to a real person? Does it make them more or less likely to kill themselves? Is it psychologically helpful or harmful when they see through the illusion that they're having a real conversation and realize this is just Eliza on steroids and that they're just as alone as they were before? Is this better or worse than just giving them a workbook or a deck of prompts written by actual psychologists who treat veterans?

I'm all for experimentation. What I'm questioning is the thoughtless application of shiny new technologies without any consideration of what the downside costs and risks might be.

> Alexa has also been very aggressive about promoting other Alexa capabilities

I was wondering it that was just me, it seems a lot of responses are now ending with "...by the way, did you know i can...". I sometimes listen to NPR ( please don't judge ) and i get the "...we still don't have your zip code..." a lot but i think that is an NPR thing and not an Alexa thing.

> > not the 1s and 0s that make up the image.

> Now this is plainly false. I cannot start selling a Mickey Mouse JPEG stripped straight from Disney's site.

You can absolutely go to the Disney website right now, download any JPEG, convert that image to a series of 1s and 0s, and then print that series of 1s and 0s on a t-shirt that you sell on your website.

Once those 1s and 0s are in a new non-digital medium they are no longer a copy of the image. Historically, the digital copy is a special case because practically there is no difference between the "expression" of a byte sequence in a digital medium and the "idea" of a byte sequence in a digital medium.

A t-shirt is not a digital medium so the rights holders don’t get to extend their monopolization of speech to a screen print of an unintelligible pattern of 1s and 0s.
I've both seen non-competes for software development and been sued in the last 10 years. I was partnered with someone who had signed one when we founded a company, which I immediately withdrew from. No need to get involved in a project that has legal problems before a revenue stream.
Yeah, the Clip+ with Rockbox was just incredible. Got me through a lot of workdays in the corporate "no software allowed on your computer" days.

I was using mine in the very early days of Android existing. Some people had them, but I didn't yet. I got my first Android phone, moved my music over, and was ... massively disappointed. My favorite phone incident was sitting on some flight, trying to listen to music, and my phone wouldn't play it through the headphones, speakers only, annoying everyone nearby. I didn't listen to music on that flight and promptly switched back to a device that did not have a physical speaker.

Over time, phones rebuilt trust and I got a lot of use out of that, until Google Play Music got shut down and deleted all my music (no problem, I have it all locally). Now I have no idea what people do and simply go without. I guess people don't have music libraries any more and just listen to the radio for $10/month? No thanks. (I use foobar2000 on my desktop, and don't listen to music away from my home anymore. Thanks technological progress?)

Something our family does is to purchase things for the good of helping others. E.g. buy a trailer/truck that others are free to use to move stuff, this can save hundreds of dollars. Broach the topic of getting rid of appliances you are ‘upgrading’ and asking if they would want the old ones, etc.
People, not being idiots, aren't going to torpedo their own argument by saying Tesla is great and cheaper.

They are going to rant about being nicked and dimed on FSD versus other car brands. They will say the trim isn't up to luxury standards and they feel they paid too much. They will say it's nice not buying gas, but it's too expensive up front.

In a word, they will rationalize why they are correct to feel badly about the price drop, and tell themselves the price drop was merely a trigger to make them realize how much of a flawed and expensive car they bought.

And they may be right.
Good question:

“ The laser is powerful enough to be a risk to the eyes of overflying pilots, and during the experiments air traffic was closed over the test site. But the scientists believe the technology could still be useful, as launchpads and airports often have designated areas where no-fly restrictions apply. “It’s important to consider this aspect of safety,” said Houard.”

No, the price cuts were international.
I get your point but isn't there a built-in inconsistency in term "Islamic secular state"? I. E. Would a secular state by definition not be Islamic (or Christian etc)? Or do you mean a state with predominantly Islamic population that is democratic and secular?
Look into UFO/UAP forums/subreddits and watch any videos of their "sightings".
They're all conventional aircraft, birds, bats, balloons, the ISS, StarLink trains, planets, stars, spotlights on low clouds, etc. With Chinese New Year coming up, the sky lantern sightings have been driving them nuts.

Nothing has intensified my skepticism more than looking at these sightings.

This is the one time I envy people who use the US layout :-D

Ctrl-[ is impossible to type on, say, a German layout, as the [ character is hidden behind AltGr + 8, where AltGr is the right Alt key, which is itself (for most terminals/systems) just the combination of Ctrl+(left)Alt. So you'd basically have to type Ctrl+(Ctrl+Alt)+8 which is not possible....

I remember reading something, or maybe it was a talk on some conference, by someone who had some deep knowledge of the terminal layer. He explained some ways for alternatives to, say, ctrl+i, because something about the way the control characters only use 5 bits and if you type ctrl + a key that has the same lower 5 bits as "i", that also works like ctrl-i or something. I've been trying to find that video (or web page) again but I couldn't. But I think back then I found a replacement for ctrl+[ but I have long since forgotten it ...

I don't know that I have a problem spending money. I just don't want things.

Take cars, for instance. I can afford to buy a new car. My current car is old enough to have its own driver's license. But, why? It runs all right. It's solid. It has literally never let me down. I don't worry about it getting a dent. I don't worry about taking it on decent unpaved roads. Sure, it will die eventually, but until then, why would I replace it?

Or take vacations. I like vacations. But I don't need to fly to Vegas and stay at the Encore and drop a few thousand at the tables in order to feel like I had fun. I can have fun camping in the Mojave and never pay a dollar for a motel room. (I mean, I can see the point in a really nice hotel room from time to time...)

Or take eating out. I like good food, at least once in a while. But a good medium-to-high-end steak place is as far as I want to go. These Michelin starred places? I look at their menus, and I don't see anything that I actually want to eat.

For me, it's not that I'm still worried about money. It's that I don't have much of a taste for expensive things.
The 80s Disney movie "Lots of Luck" is about what you describe in your last paragraph, and I'm willing to say that watching this movie as a kid probably influenced my style of money management.

They're generally gentler, but it kind of depends on the highway. The speeds also mean more consequences of any pothole or other obstruction, too.

But mostly the observation is that you'll likely get a lot more miles on the car in such a rental than a local rental. So a rental company that keeps a car in their fleet for 2-years or 20,000 miles is going to likely send most EVs out for age and more ICEs for milage (in my estimation, anyway), and so sure, ICEs will have oil changes in that interval, but they'll also have more of the every car needs maintenance sort of proportional to use (runtime and/or mileage), because they'll see more use.

I barely qualified for a previous state credit within $1000 of the cutoff, right before more than doubling my income during the pandemic industry craziness. I think cutoffs that don't scale or prorate somehow are so ridiculous. There's no reason to make things all-or-nothing. The criteria should still give you something if you're rich, even if it's $1, so everyone else in the band doesn't get screwed.

Yeah, that one is still stuck in power plan settings for some reason. But they’ve been moving to one “Balanced” plan for a while now so I guess that entire panel is going away.
I think courts will be rightly skeptical of unelected agency commissioners preempting the laws of 50 states based on 9 words that the FTC has never before relied upon. I also think that this is obvious and should not be controversial.
Yes, in the sense that they demonstrate proficiency in a skill / subject.

You may not give them any weight, but I'm sure you're aware that many employers do. Sometimes certs are preferred, sometimes they're required.
But it's also less obviously a problem. People have a vocabulary around binge-watching and goblin mode. Or we've come to learn how Facebook, touted as a beneficial alternative to one-way entertainment, can cause psychological harm.

Is this different? Worse? Better? Probably all three. Maybe we should find out.

Not for consumer level devices. There’s an inherent tradeoff between false positives and true recognition rate.

If you make the wrong choice, it means the device doesn’t respond when you say the wake word. There’s nothing that infuriates users more than having to say it again and again to get a response: “Alexa. Alexa! ALEXA!!”

One new workflow with chatgpt, that I've found very useful, is to paste the contents of an academic paper in, and ask it questions about it and ask it to simplify certain parts that are written in a stylized/obfuscatory way.

It turns the process of reading a new academic paper into more of like having a conversation with someone who understands all the technical details.
Our Alexa responds to more than just her name including on TV which is amusing and kinda annoying at once.
The main export of Costa Rica now are services, several of the largest tech companies in the world are in Costa Rica (Intel, Amazon, Microsoft, HP, Dell, IBM, Oracle, etc...) and there are hundreds of software and web development companies, so when the article talks about it's hard to find talent in Latin America, I don't know WTH it's talking about.
> And the FTC is not banning unenforceable non-competes, the proposed rule bans all non-competes.

Conditional (the condition of every single one going to court) versus unconditional. I see no reason the power to ban would be limited to a specific interpretation, in this case.

What is the argument (not just reiterating the point of contention)?

I dislike it because the autocompletions are hilariously brain-dead most of the time. Like, it usually autocompletes folder names correctly, but I can't really rely on that feature because some of them are never offered as candidates. E.g. "Work" is not only not offered as candidate (even though I have a folder named "Work"), but mysteriously autocompleted to "Word".

It's also a solution to a self-inflicted problem. Super-crowded Start menus were a problem, but not a very widespread one among people who aren't nerds. The Windows 11 Start menu is crowded but largely because it's littered with Microsoft's own apps. If I were to take out Xbox, Alarms & Clocks and all the other crap I no longer bother to uninstall because it's gonna come back on the next update anyway, I could probably use it quite comfortably.
By this logic such a nation does not exist, as you can’t be both Islamic and secular at the same time. You can say the same about Turkey as Indonesia, it’s a secular nation even though the majority of its population is Muslim. I think the OP comment meant to ask about a secular democracy in a country where most people are Muslim. And in that case Turkey could be an example, even though Erdogan is fairly dictator-ish, we’ll see how their elections go this year
