Hey! I'm working on building this vision at fragen.co.uk - which can take in Youtube videos (trascribed by whisper + postprocessed into useful chunks), PDFs (properly OCR'd - understands bullet points etc) and webpages (also OCR'd, experimental) - For the problem of data-supported AI search, the content really matters. Our edge is semantically chunking it, in other words we are splitting it up into key facts ready for recall. That makes this problem more solveable.

Very interesting. May I ask how long did it take to train each book?

Instead of books, I would love to be able to ask a bot a few questions every morning the most personally relevant things that happened around the world. Like news, but asking the AI "How can I take advantage of it?".

[Edit]: "advantage" may be misunderstood. A better wording would be "how can I make use of it" or "how can I make use of this information".
Yes, actually I am. Thanks for correcting me.

And currently from my experience you can't play single player on many games without an internet connection and things like that. The only thing I can see that isn't in them is the always on camera, but they've got that sort of stuff in the TV now. The rest of it, requiring an internet connection to phone home, forced updates, non-ownership over the media, all have become the reality at this point.
It's hard to unsee these articles, isn't it?

Although I know it's AI generated nonsense (although fun to read), it's as if parts of my brain believe it's for real, and want to update themselves based on it.

Almost a bit scary. I cannot read the texts, without a feeling that I get affected by them. — The brain lacks a `--dry-run` flag?

In the future: People will read AI generated nonsense, it'll change their worldview, and once they learn that what they read was AI nonsense — their brain & beliefs have been altered already, no undo.

(It's like that already, with ordinary news (or "news") media, but now with AI, this can be mass produced)

> I think now, after another documented murder-suicide, there's also been a change in regulations requiring at least 2 people to be in the cockpit at all times.

This would help prevent a nefarious pilot from taking the plane down.

Arguably, many of the things suggested might potentially have prevented Zaharie from carrying out his plan, assuming the scenario described in the article is true, depending on his motives: if the plane could have been intercepted in mid-flight, if he would have been found out almost instantly, his family wouldn't have been able to collect life insurance; if his motive had been less financial for his family and more about the intellectual challenge of getting away with the perfect crime, this too would have made his task more difficult.

But that aside, when we say "prevent the next MH370", it's ambiguous: we could interpret that as "prevent a pilot from deliberately crashing their plane and killing everyone on board", or we could interpret it as "prevent a plane from vanishing", which has been devastating to families in its own unique and horrible way. In other words: locating the wreckage faster - or at all! - has value too, and shouldn't be dismissed.
It can be convenient to be able to just sort as an opaque byte string.
mahathu isn't telling me something I didn't already know. When you are obsessed you figure all the angles. The only way I stopped was to take months long road trips to places that didn't sell nitrous, like the Alaskan wilderness. I did find spiritual recovery by reading Zen books on the road, so now I live in San Jose where there are smoke shops selling whippets on every corner and don't have a problem with it.

Nitrous was useful for helping me look at traumas I suffered in the military by muting my anxiety and strong emotions when I approached the subject. Another reason I don't have a problem with nitrous right now is that I worked through my traumas adequately.
At this point the data from his computer, at least the data from the flight simulator software, should be released publicly so that those with experience can apply their knowledge to reconstructing the data. It's entirely possible that someone with more knowledge of the software in question, rather than a generic computer expert, might have more luck.
Yes — though there are also shortcut functions for basic CRUD (and also for lateral joins) which give you automatic typing.

This sounds so interesting, do you have any plans to write up a more detailed description of it??
Would like to feed this voice samples, cat's meows, birdsongs, and laughter. Maybe the same voice in different emotional states. Looks fun to play around with.
> no other ad seller has access to search inventory for "download Spotify”

I think that behavior should be broadly illegal on the basis that it’s tantamount to false advertising and extortion.

Google claims to be a search engine; if you search for something very specific and well known like Spotify, providing you a paid advertisement as the top hit is essentially fraud.
European launch chief insists there be no competition with Ariane rockets
The code is written in high performance multi-threaded Rust and uses the [1] Arrow compute framework. We also batch events and target about 32MB of event data per lambda invocations. As a result it can process tens of thousands of events per second per thread, depending on the number of transformations.

That said, we are working on performance estimates and a benchmark on some real world data for Matano to help users like you better understand the cost factors. Stay tuned.

> These are likely not places where people choose to live.

How crappy/nice would it be? On one end of the spectrum is something like the camps set up at the border to house asylum seekers, and on the other is basically section 8 housing. You'd probably have to pay me a significant sum of money to stay in the former, but I would seriously consider the latter if it meant not having to pay thousands in rent in an expensive metro. The problem is that the nicer you make it, the more people would be attracted to using it for freeloading purposes, but if you make it too crappy, then people would rather sleep on the streets than use it. We see this for homeless shelters in some cities, for instance.

>Compare it to prison with free healthcare, food and many more additional costs plus costs to society associated with whatever made somebody go to prison in the first place.

Right, but the reason for prison isn't just keeping someone housed, there's also the additional concern that they're presumably a danger to society and therefore must be contained. Therefore the argument of "you don't want people to get free housing but are okay with prisoners getting free housing" isn't the type of gotcha you think it is.

>I mean, if you think about country income (or lack thereof) and spending, even ignoring military, corruption, church etc. There are still way bigger things to worry about regarding your tax dollars. There is tons of freeloading, exploitation and injustice, but if somebody is willing to accept living in slums to just have some roof over his head, he probably needs it, for whatever reason.

This is an entirely unpersuasive argument. Think about it from the flip side. Suppose the Other Side wants to increase funding for the police, and you object because you think that the police have shown a history of wasting the money on armored trucks and tacticool gear. They then reply with, "who cares? there are way bigger wastes of money you should worry about!" would you be convinced?

>And even giving absolutely zero empathy, assuming no mental problems, childhood traumas etc., counting these specific irrelevant cents, it still may simply be the most economic solution from the society perspective.

Has there been a serious attempt at estimating the costs? Taking (cost of a studio apartment) x (number of homeless in america) doesn't really get to the true costs, because:

1. it doesn't factor in the induced demand from people freeloading

2. that a studio apartment completely solves the homeless problem. for instance, for people with mental health/drug addiction issues, they might trash the place and cost more than a studio apartment, or might choose to live on the streets altogether.
Doesn't seem extremely likely
Obviously they want to keep breaking that stuff. Worked out in the past, didn't it?

> Merits of the case decided by who?

Decided by the entirety of the legal apparatus prior to the election in 2000. I don't recall the details at this late date, and you can Google as well as I can, but my memory is that the judge in that case had recommended that Microsoft be broken up for it before Bush came to power.
Drives MS was selling had _plenty_ of margin. Which is why MS went that way

Maybe? It's hard to say. The linked article comparing the price of MS's HDD accessory to the cost of a contemporary OEM hard drive via NewEgg and yeah, MS's HDD was way more expensive per GB.

There are a lot of extra costs for MS though. Maintaining a separate SKU. Retail packaging. Cost of unsold units. Negotiating a supply of HDDs from e.g. WD which had to keep a production line or whatever open for that model when they otherwise might have phased it out sooner. The plastic enclosures. Etc.

Some of the price/GB differential may well have been gouging but some of it was also certainly overheads such as those I mentioned. There was zero possibility MS's retail Xbox360 HDDs could have been priced identically to the ever fluctuating price of HDDs from the direct sales channel. For a start, how could they reprice the units they'd already sold to WalMart, EBGames, and the like?

My strong hunch is that those official MS HDD's were not very profitable for MS. Otherwise one suspects they would not have tolerated hacked HDDs.

Of course if you want to say their whole strategy was dumb, I agree. Why not just allow consumers to slap the SATA drive of their choice into the 360? Bigger drives = more room for games = customers theoretically buying more games.

Congratulations on the launch -- this looks super slick and well executed.

I commend your approach on avoiding religious texts, or really any domain that has numerous doctrinal nuances where people could/will become overly polarized.

Likely this could be further commercially developed as a whitelabel service for different groups that each have their own often (very) specific doctrinal interpretation(s) as part of follow-on finetuning phases on different texts which could justify a SaaS-like pricing model.

> What makes you assume you wouldn't have simply found another well paying position, and still had it, since in this scenario companies are now thinking about hiring sustainably?

Well, in my specific case do you know of any other major tech company that would have hired me to consult other enterprise companies on how to develop on top of AWS?

> and I left my previous company for a new place only to be laid off six months later. I would far rather not been hired into the new company and still be where I was at than suddenly job hunting (I have plenty of runway, I should be fine).

I first used Wine about 15 years ago. Fast forward to today and I'm astonished at how well some things run.

I'm not a power-user - not even close. I just want things to "work" without any fiddling. Well luckily, most things seem to work flawlessly (for me).

Rocksmith, a video game for playing guitar, worked straight away, even interacting with my USB guitar interface. It even seems to run better than Windows.

It also runs the software for updating my multi-effects pedal & loading effects onto it (Zoom G1 Four).

Pretty impressed as these are the sort of things that force you onto Windows (at least once-in-a-while).

I'm not presenting it as an argument for validity, I'm asking which part they're accusing of being fake.
I read a story about the "landing gear down" button being close and similar to the "shut off all engines" button in some bombers during WW2.

A few of them crashed after very long flights, on approach of the runway. Inexplicably, they suddenly felt right when they should have deployed landing gears.

So aircraft makers learned from that incident that no amount of training can mitigate a bad user interface. Especially if the user of your interface is dead tired after a 12h flight.
If it's a closed laptop sometimes when they get very warm the touch pad starts getting activated. At least that is what the problem was for me a few years ago with Intel MBPs.

There is an option to disable the track pad when using an external keyboard which was the perfect solution.

may i ask where you have lived and travelled in france ?

Have you ever been to any suburb, not just in Paris ( which already has some suburbs with close to 99% non-french inhabitants) but in pretty much any average sized city in the country ?

based on your saying I can only assume you only lived in the central part of paris, and went on holidays in the west coast such as bordeaux or brest. Because all the rest of the country is pretty much in transition.

Pre-Covid, wife and I went and tried a Grilled Cheese place in town that had been open for at least a year. As we were checking out on the tablet they had, my wife asked something about the Tip prompt on it. The cashier said, "Don't worry about it, the tips just go to management."

So, makes me wonder at every other place, how well the tips are distributed.

The other area I have an issue with (although I still tip here) is with my barber. She owns the business and she's the only one I go to. Technically speaking, she's keeping all the profit, so is a tip still warranted?

My water delivery company added the ability to add a tip for the delivery driver. I'm waiting for the county trash collection to offer the same option.

No, for me at least, and for most others I'd bet, it's simply about being able to engage in commerce with other people without an arbiter in the middle. Something like cash or commodity money, which was the norm for all of human history until very recently.

Perhaps this will cause people to think for themselves more. There will be no zeitgeist at all as there will be so many diverging AI generated beleifs. Then again, people said the same thing about the internet. But perhaps there still isn't enough diverse thought on the internet, just enough to force people into their own echochambers. Maybe AI (ML, DL, whatever) will force people out of these chambers somehow.

> Ruth Bader Ginsburg—despite being lionized by liberals—was an extremely pro-business justice who played a strong role in the Supreme Court siding with businesses in all but one antitrust case

I googled this because it seemed interesting.

The first two articles I looked up emphasize how little influence she had on anti-trust cases. At her hearing she said "Antitrust … is not my strong suit." It seems like she went along with other more experienced judges in this area such as Scalia or Breyer who is noted for being very business-friendly.

Where is your idea that Ginsburg was the lynchpin for weak anti-trust rulings coming from?
