You assume "bad actor" I think it’s a good actor that is going to save a lot of lives.
But the media/government is going to use every accident to punish Tesla and slow them down, costing way more lives.
Remember the media is paid largely by all the other auto maker and Tesla spend zero in publicity, making it enemy no.1 of the media. The same is true of the current government that is heavily financed by United Auto Worker.

There is alway a tradeoff of progress and safety. 46 000 people die in car accident each year in the US I hope that this also count in the balance, not only the one who ignore all the advices while using autopilot.

but I don't understand the setup here. If you have the capability to run custom firmware on your router then don't you not need this countermeasure, since you can be confident your router isn't doing this wireframing anyway? Or is it saying that a passive bystander who is not connected to your network can infer the wireframes as well? That seems unlikely to me?

I consider myself a pretty good employee and I wouldn't leave for that. Especially if I had projects in flight at the company.

YMMV
Not laid off but I quit my job 7 months ago to start my own company.

Just the admin of setting up and running the day-to-day has taught me a lot.

But the biggest lesson I learned is that I have the capacity to research and implement technologies new to me in relatively short amounts of time to make meaningful impact.

In addition, my confidence has improved and I am more likely to accept challenging work within my domain than ever before.

What I am doing running a small business is not cool in the context of the OP and the discussion, but it's cool to me in the sense that I did something I once feared and stuck with it.

Thanks for sharing, everyone. Really cool projects. Take care.

I fully agree [0]. And I can see how my original comment was worded such that you'd think I wasn't taking that into account ("the reasoning").

When using ChatGPT, I can't help but thinking "this sounds like a high school essay". But really, it's not. Rather, it's someone who has college+ level of reading and studying, but has never had to have their ideas tested or scrutinized. A user of ChatGPT kind of mitigates this by asking for clarification, which is a form of learning in the specific session. But in the real world, ChatGPT-as-student would be adjusted with that feedback and then incorporate it into its overall model for serving the next user.

I'm working on a Rust library for SAT solving and other things informed by John Harrison's text on Automated Theorem Proving.

https://github.com/aetilley/harrison-rust

This is largely for me to to learn Rust, but I think it may have the potential to turn into something cool. Next on the todo list is optimizations to DPLL as the existing implementation is currently in its most basic form (I skipped optimizations there for the time being in order to move on to predicate calculus).
> ...that trash can ends up getting emptied into a river or public space.

13of40 is implying that that trash will not end up in a trash can, but will end up on the ground, because they believe that even the most well-meaning person will refuse to carry refuse with them until they locate a trash can. (I -and others- have direct evidence that supports disagreement with their bleak outlook.)

Aside from the occasional (American) football or baseball hooligan tipping over a can in "celebration", trash cans in my area get emptied into the trash-disposal truck that stops by on a regular schedule. It's legitimately regrettable that you live in a place where your trash cans get emptied into rivers or other common areas.

If what you're telling me is a true and accurate picture of the state of waste management in your area, then that's a crying shame. I sincerely hope that wherever you are, you and your compatriots a successfully able to convince enough people that the commons is worth protecting and that proper disposal of trash and other refuse is worth doing to change this sad state of affairs where you live.

It's a decision with the grading and it's a zeitgeist.

There's another article I can't find on it.

It's got nothing to do with netflix. Digital is not to blame either, but it's certainly a catalyst.

It mostly has to do with insecurity surrounding digital and the bizarre idea that saturation is trying to 'emulate' film, (when color timing films was always just been about trying to emulate reality).

You can correct most of this problem with a decent media player. Just play a film in VLC and touch up the saturation and possibly the contrast in the effects settings.

It really doesn't take much adjustment to makes a film that once had a depressing palette suddenly half decent. I can't tolerate watching films through sunglasses so do this pretty often.

It really is a fashion. I've seen an advert for grading software that had a famous photographer casually showing the viewer how he ruins his pictures with this process of desaturation. I've no why people think this looks good, but it is deliberate.

I asked the cinematography reddit once why people do this and got a lot of incoherent responses about how saturation is just trying to emulate film and that it's just how 'new' things should look. Apparently many new filmmakers experience of reality has been through tea-shades on an overcast day. It beggars belief.
Frankly, the average diagnostic performance of the stethoscope doesn’t justify this approach [1]. The real world performance will be even worse.

You're speaking about US.

The rest of the world is still quite shaky. And everybody is looking towards China reopening and wondering how that economy will fare in the post-zero-Covid-policy world.
It's going to be much more complicated: think of the people that no longer want to work for low wages. That, plus the housing will push the inflation so much that the basic income might no longer be sufficient. And that's just one effect.

So, I have no hopes that UBI can succeed. But to call other forms of support UBI, like the article does to handing out $500 to support a few thousand, is a disgrace. There should be a safety net for poverty, a sufficient minimum wage, and socialized/nationalized health care. Lotteries and other utilitarian approaches from people who would like to call themselves benefactors are ridiculous.

Distributing a model created using your brain is illegal, if the model violates copyright law. (Just like copying stuff without using neural networks in meat-space was already illegal.) If you create a program that reproduces copyrighted work, and distribute the program, then the distribution is illegal. That was the same answer I gave at the top. The brain vs silicon silliness is a strawman and has been all along because it doesn’t matter how your program was created, building and running it is not the illegal part under copyright law, distributing it is (and/or using material that you haven’t obtained legally).

> if the tool has the capability to violate laws, then the existence and distribution of the tool itself violates said law.

That’s right if you remove the word “existence”. Distribution of a NN model that violates copyright by reproducing copyrighted works is illegal. That part has been my point in this thread, it seems like you understand now and we agree.

It’s “existence” is not illegal under US Copyright Law unless you didn’t have the legal right to use the training material, and in that case it’s illegal to use the material whether you used a computer or your brain, it doesn’t matter how you created the neural network (or even whether you created a neural network), the violation there isn’t the act of creating the network, it’s the act of stealing and using material you don’t have permission to use.

This whole discussion would be a lot less frustrating for you if instead of making assumptions and logic arguments about brains and computers, you took some time to read the copyright legal code. https://www.copyright.gov/
Seems unlikely. My spot check of the the two vfprintf implementations shows no flow from one to the other, and shows that part of the Cosmopolitan code has an older lineage than nolibc.

The nolibc source has many reference to copyright held by "Willy Tarreau", under LGPL-2.1 OR MIT license, with a copyright date starting in 2017.

The string "Tarreau" does not exist in the Cosmopolitan library, so that's a strong negative there. Let's look closer.

The file organization is quite different. And so is the implementation. So that's another negative.

Compare the vfprintf in nolibc at https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.2-rc4/source/tools/inclu... (a 'minimal vfprintf()') with the one in cosmopolitan starting at https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/libc/stdio/....

Right away we can see nolibc places many functions in the same file while Cosmopolitan uses a one-function-per-filename organization.

Cosmopolitan's fvprintf locks the file (which nolibc doesn't need to do) then calls vfprintf_unlocked which calls __fmt at https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/libc/fmt/fm... , which is the actual implementation. It look very different from NOLIBC's.

Okay, so perhaps that's they way now but not at the beginning?

We can also go back to Cosmopolitan's original implementation and see how vfprintf goes through https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/c91b3c50068224929c... to call "palandprintf", which https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/c91b3c50068224929c... says is copyright "Marco Paland" from 2014-2019.

That's a few years older than the start of nolibc, available from https://github.com/mpaland/printf , and part of https://github.com/embeddedartistry/libc , a "libc targeted for embedded systems usage".

Thus, multiple factors seem to agree that nolibc code is not used in the Cosmopolitan library.

The reality of the situation has not caused me any discomfort.

I remain unconvinced that the two phrases are descriptions of the same thing.
Every company wants to measure merit and indeed its common to slice and dice stats along many dimensions to attempt to achieve an objective analysis of the worth of an employee. However these measures inevitably fail to capture many elements of an employee. We deal with this gross insufficiency with by adding human judgement and introduce both essential human analysis and a tendency to measure the value of interpersonal relationships instead of objective worth.

Organizations at scale end up either full of shit because they don't know what they aren't able to measure or full of shit because they are mostly measuring who is esteemed by whom. I have personally never worked for an outfit that wasn't basically full of shit. The well performing did so more as a function of having a functional culture of people who were capable enough and honestly cared about doing good work not because they were great at measuring worth.
You might be understating the task.

It's very cool how no native code is needed for this at all. Kinda makes my "let's write an OS on the JVM" itch feel itchy again.

A pity how verbose the generated FFI is though even with jextract parsing header files into Java. It feels like a Kotlin DSL around it would make the code interacting with the native libs read much closer to C.

BTW - you'll probably get more traction with this demo if you document it better. I think I'm pretty familiar with Linux but I never heard of "libseat", and would have lots of basic questions about this whole setup e.g. can you use it with OpenGL?
You know that's bs, right? They took the cheap money, hired a bunch of people to do 'cool' stuff like VR and feed junk adtech directly to your brain, speech assistants to buy stuff that you don't need and self driving which failed to deliver on inflated promisses and when those things failed they're axing those projects along with the people who worked on them.

You can really start to see this when watching older movies (say, 30 or 50 years old) in HD. These movies were never intended to be viewed on a 16:9 1080p or 4k screen. A good example is Wizard of Oz (1939) or White Christmas (1954). -- the whole movie just feels like a set. You can clearly see the makeup they are wearing.

Even older shows like Seinfield or Friends can have this kind of feel. These were always intended to be shown in 4:3 480 on some crappy CRT. Not 16:9 at 1080p...

An anecdote was shared about a hospital janitor who was admonished for not mopping a patient’s room during the cleaning scheduled hours and it turns out this janitor was considerate about the patient’s family visiting their child, and therefore was doing the cleaning during the off-hours. The janitor was exercising common sense in consideration and empathy for the family.

But for that our value system needs to change first... getting away from the 'more more more' value system and focusing more on what you wrote about. Would be great for example if we had a richer reuse and repair economy.

Sure, but what do you envisioning this "competent leadership" doing to solve the drug problem, while not resorting to authoritarianism like just killing those who possess drugs?

I agree "competent leadership" is direly needed. But all too often "competent leadership" is used as a euphemism for an autocrat who just opts for simple/expedient freedom-destroying measures.

The only constructive (ie liberty-preserving) answer I can see is to make the bottom of society much less unattractive, reducing both the interest in drugs and also the ill social effects of drugs. But attempts to do that are generally criticized for not being authoritarian enough, or for costing too much.

(FWIW I do agree that all too often, attempts to make the bottom of society less harsh result in lazy inaction rather than more intelligent action, which gets back to the original lack of competent leadership).

Yes, specifically IBM PCjr-ish clone. Compared to IBM PC 5150 it has 2x slower access to the first 96K of RAM due to “integrated” nature of its non-standard take on CGA. But, the rest of RAM is actually faster than IBM PC because it is a modern retro computing extension card made with fast SRAM.

I agree with your sentiment, but I think you're under-emphasing the power granted our reasoning ability from knowledge (theoretical concepts) and writing (seekable communication).

Part of what I know about basic statistics I got from an old book. I would not be able to draw on those concepts and present a coherent argument if my experience and communicative tools were limited to what they would have been 30,000 years ago.

That said, they may have had very intelligent and nuanced discussions about specific topics, like immediately human experiences such as illness, politics, fashion, love, etc.

If they only add a feedback loop it will already improve hundredfold in a very short time with respect to the output because then suddenly people rather than endless unstructured input will guide the answers towards the expected outcome.
