ROFLMAO

Just yesterday I was being told on this website that Google didn’t clearly fumble this opportunity.
You can't learn everything, but you can learn for all the time you have on this earth. That's a constant joy.

May I suggest: you may want to think about for whom you are doing all this self improvement. Are you seeking to be more valuable to others, as they judge your value, or are you serving your own needs? Making yourself useful is great, but then others will use you until you break, if you let them. If you're driving yourself that way, be sure the ends are worth it.
I agree wholeheartedly. I was working a part time job in highschool to pay for my gas and other expenses, when I should have been doing kid things. Also as an early teenager I turned to online communities because there was no other way to interact with irl friends outside of school. It was too dangerous to ride a bike to a friends house (cars), I couldn't drive, and my parents were always working so they couldn't give me rides. I still needed some sort of social interaction though, so of course I turned to the internet.
> they're very unlikely to have a US phone number available.

...guess what, we don't have any US phone number available either! We only have Brazilian phone numbers, and Google did accept the Brazilian phone number I tried (which was not theirs, since like I said, they don't have a phone in the first place).

The US is actively occupying Syria, facilitating the theft of its natural resources including oil to (also occupied) Northern Iraq, while backing AQ-affiliated terrorists like Abu Mohammad al-Jolani to advance its goal of overthrowing the legal Syrian government.

US state media literally aired a puff piece for Jolani, including interviews from top DoD officials. It is staggering [1].

These are all undisputed facts which I can supply primary evidence to support. Russia is doing nothing of the sort. Some civilians possibly died as collateral as Russia targeted extremist strongholds in extremist-controlled Idlib. In fact, outside the West, Russia is credited with preventing Syria from turning into an Iraq/Libya-style disaster.

When I did that, KDE did not give me a popup, and also there's no browser installed. Had to install Firefox over a phone hotspot. Not a great experience.
It absolutely does. Blowing up the pipeline took away Russias ability to hold the EU hostage with the energy card.
He's lost his credibility over the years. Which is likely why this didn't get published by NY Times.

There's a lot of work going on in transformers, generative models, and all sorts of other things in addition to LLVMs. I'm not too worried at this point of OpenAI or openai+microsoft having any sort of monopoly.

It appears that neither does openAI believe that as they were happy to sell 50% of their company in addition to all the ownership they'd already given away. That was clear harvesting.

Is it, really? Hard for me to come up with much of a meaningful list, even if you don't try to compare their history with outliers like PARC or Bell Labs. They are clearly spending but I don't see a lot of doing. They seem to have ignored Hamming's advice.
Yes, I slowly unwound everything over time. Just realize it will be a slow gradual process and I think it's best to be patient with yourself.

This is what worked for me:

- Every week I unsubbed a subreddit until eventually there was only one left. It was so boring I stopped visiting Reddit.

- I installed an extension for Facebook and slowly unfollowed every one.

- I stopped posting to Instagram. Eventually stopped posting stories.

- Uninstalled Facebook and Instagram from my phone.

- Don't have TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit or any apps on my phone.

- Started using https://www.beeper.com so I can still chat with people on Facebook or Instagram.

- I turned off all notifications except vital ones (mentions on slack emails)

- I turned on screentime for news, financial stuff, everything really. Put it all for only 5 minutes a day.

This all has dramatically helped.
Top (currently) comment is, IMO, the most correct. Find a fun project, probably with Pi and/or Arduino.

Otherwise, my 2 cents is that I pretty much always have fun programming in Ruby.
CLI-centric does not sound great for an HTPC, though. I think Manjaro is not bad choice for hassle free TV computers with modern hardware. It has much better hardware support than Ubuntu out of the box. Updates rarely break something other than Gnome (I find anything else incredibly hard to use on a TV) extensions. It does not get in the way and it rarely needs my attention.

Yeah, it's a easy use. That's a major plus in my book. I really don't want to babysit my appliances.
It pretty much always comes down to pay (assuming there are not dangerous working conditions). People will say things like "too many hours" but you know what? If you pay a shitload for those then generally people (or at least some of them) will be okay with the overtime.

Having worked in non-Union and Union retail for that long I’m still on the fence. I’d probably lean Union but at the same time it really isn’t propaganda that there are downsides.
Yes, Quic still relies on UDP. So that's like many other non-TCP protocols that are built by vendors on top of UDP for all sorts of applications. It still uses the OS layer for UDP, which is what many other applications do.
Not the root cause, no. I'd say the root cause is reliance on advertising for income because that means that you now need to draw as many viewers/users as possible, and that's why they start to create content which maximizes reactions or engagement.

The blog post is mostly a sea of text with no real citations and loose quotes. The author, though a famed journalist for his breaking of a story 50 years ago, has also made claims recently to defend dictators such as Assad; even going so far as to claim the US was going to fake Bin Laden's dead by dragging his body back to Afghanistan from Pakistan to pretend like he died in a missile strike. His reasoning for this? Well, basically apparently flying below the deck and stealth helicopters are impossible.

People need to come to grips that people can slowly become kooks over time (or maybe they were always crazy, but did one good thing and now have clout.) Snowden, Greenwald have made similar kooky remarks of late defending bad actors all over. It's bizarre, but not unusual.

I haven't read your repo very carefully, but this strikes me as strange:

> - no hosting, accounts, and synchronization required.

> - use git workflows like pull requests.

that seems self-contradictory? "git" tool has no support for pull requests, only websites like github support it. And "git" only deals with local files, you need to either _host_ your own git repo, have _account_ on github, or use some sort of (rare) _synchronization_ system.

When you say "git", do you mean "github.com" by any chance? Because then you can use 'repos/contents' API endpoint to get and update contents without emulating git in javascript.
I don't think spam is an unsolvable problem. I think Google didn't want to solve it. I could find whole networks of spam sites in minutes, they could too. But the web is larger than what can be fixed manually.

They should make an AI bot to search through the search box and decide if the results are crap, and train it with human preferences. Or set the bot to find difficult to find answers and see how many it finds and how high they are ranked.

Probably working in search at Google was a dead end career, the search department wasn't sexy anymore and didn't have green field projects. Maybe they were just afraid to change anything as long as it makes money for them. So the good people left and they have been coasting for a decade.
We have no idea what Apple and Google share unofficially. Remember the Apple China bribery scandal? No? Of course not, it was barely a blip in the news.
Yes, Scheme has the concept of exactness[0]. In most Schemes, (exact? 2.3) ==> #f. But at least the exact? procedure exists. It can tell you whether your result might have been affected by these problems. If you want perfect answers, you can always use the rationals that are built into Scheme implementations with the full numeric tower.

If 0% of your users disable it, that kind of screams there's something wrong with your opt-out mechanism. Is it broken? Hidden? Difficult to do?

I mean, with any group of people, there will always be a percentage that will disable it. If the telemetry is popular, that percentage might be very small, but it would be non-zero.

free and fair elections require more than votes being tallied faithfully. They need all the other facets of democracy to function faithfully as well. Such as a free press, freedom of expression, etc.
> it is the right thing to do

You had me nodding until this part. Yes, twitter is filled with misinformation. But government censorship is more dangerous than misinformation. Governments have killed more people than anything else short of heart attacks and cancer. Governments murdered hundreds of millions of people in the 20th century; giving governments the power to censor whatever the government deems to be misinformation is insanely dangerous. The most dangerous kind of misinformation is that which is promulgated by the government itself.
One contributing factor to the lack of artsy movies is audience sensitivity. "Kramer v Kramer" would never be made today because it touches on many potentially offensive topics. Studios would rather put their money on safe bets, movies that avoid sensitive topics - sequels, remakes and comic book characters.
Theoretically if we had perfect labor laws and companies had a profit motive to keep their employees happy then Unionization might not be necessary (and could create additional overhead). But this is a VERY idealistic scenario. I say this as someone who is very pro union.
I wrote a solver for Atomix (https://github.com/falk-hueffner/atomixer), a similar game. Technically, the only difference is that in Atomix the solution location is not predefined, although probably based on level design this game actually feels quite different. Since the solver just tries all solution location anyway, it would be quite simple to adapt it to this game.

Yes and no - deploying a Node project, I need to install all its dependencies. Deploying a Rust project, I still typically only need to pull down the binary. The general attitude is still to pull in dependencies to do a job instead of inventing your own solution, which I consider a good thing, but not everybody agrees.
Completely agree with this opinion. Teens expected to attend college are under tremendous admissions pressure. You don’t even realize how much more difficult it gets every year for them. For some students, nearly every waking moment is spent on something to fill an application/study/practice. While this itself isn’t new, I’d wager that the number of students having this experience has grown tremendously.

However, as someone who was in high school right when Facebook/Instagram became ubiquitous amongst teens, I can’t emphasize enough how horrible the pressure of appealing to your peers was. There is a constant, deeply unsettling fear of being publicly shamed/embarrassed online at any time & for any reason. I am confident that this is still present & stronger than ever.
so what did their competitors move in a similar time, if its generalized market anxiety? Hint: nowhere near as much, and microsoft is actually up.

Google is a trillion dollar company but a lot of their revenue depends on their dominance in search. Google is a search/ads company, and now feeling pressure from microsoft/openai for the first time in a long time, their proposed answer was not well received because it doesn't satisfy the fundamental requirements for search.
The pop_back() error would have been caught easily by an experienced C++ dev as common sense says run with assertions enabled in dev builds(With MSVC use _CONTAINER_DEBUG_LEVEL =1).

The other error was just dumb using a C function when a good C++ alternative exists.
Trying to keep it short, I would say OpenZiti is similar to zerotier moreso than zrok. This zrok tool though is closer to ngrok. I mentioned that in another comment so hopefully that's easy enough to find in the page.

Nonononono when two related things happen in sequence, one must have caused the other! But seriously, I can't think of any principle ignored more often than correlation != causation. It seems to be the easiest way to trick people into believing something is true without having to go through the trouble of finding real evidence.

I feel like all of the interesting stuff when it comes to search+LLM is in real hybridization that's still a few steps out from what's happening right now in terms of productization.

For example:

(a) Addressing the recency problem by making a model generate instructions to a browser as output token stream, so it can, well, Google for you and incorporate latest info into output by adding it to the "internal prompt".

(b) Doing something similar where you teach models how to drive computational engines to make actual, computed facts and figures, not guess them from statistics over training data.

(c) Maybe running a traditional search and then using LLMs to summarize over them.

etc. etc.

It feels increasingly clear that "complete prompt from a stale training data set" is a neat trick but doesn't solve any particular problem well enough. This also seems intuitively true: If you ask your friend a difficult question, you often don't expect them to be able to answer it on the spot. You probably expect them to have relevant experience and a rough understanding of the topics and the tools to look up or figure out the rest. Similarly, it feels intuitively wrong to expect a LLM to come ready-made with all knowledge baked in. It feels more like we'd want something with the working knowledge/method to plan and execute fact discovery and computation.

It's fun to play around a bit with ChatGPT yourself and try to approximate what a more complex pipeline might be. For example, instead of asking it to answer a question, ask it to re-state the question or make a list of questions prompted by the original question, then let it "contemplate" those or propose a method for how to go after answering them, etc. It runs aground pretty often, but sometimes the results take you a lot further than the direct approach.

How sane is Hersh these days? I get the sense that the US failure to deal with Abu Ghraib torture in any meaningful way broke him.
I can totally see why ML researchers that were expecting end-user products being notebook like and targeting data engineers were took off guard by the sudden discovery of the how a chat interface is powerful and usable by anyone.
I appreciate that response. I was just sitting here wondering if this was at least partly motivated by (a) specific legal requirements in more restrictive jurisdictions and (b) anticipating anti-Big-Tech attacks from populist elements of political parties over the next few years.

But! (hehe) I have absolutely been accidentally goatse'd or nippled or whatever even with SafeSearch. I have no idea if a SafeSearch that missed an explicit image would be smart enough to blur the image in question, so back to square zero.
I wouldn't be surprised if Germany OKayed it (IF USA did it). Germany returning to Nord Stream would be a disaster for everybody (including Germany). Paradoxically, removing Nord Stream from the consideration helped Germany and its political situation.

I always thought it's more likely that somebody from the West did it, since from my perspective it helped West and not Russia. But what's confusing me is the rather muted reaction from Russia. If it wasn't them and if they believed it's the West, why are they so silent about it?
Why leave one of the brand new, larger pipelines undamaged, so that Russia could then offer after the event to work with Germany to activate it? Which naturally they did.

This pipeline had been completed but activation was stopped due to the start of the war. If Germany had capitulated and activated it with Russia that would be a major political win for Russia and blow for the suggested goals of the US and other allies. To me this seems to be the biggest hole in the theory that the US was responsible.
Ugh, I guess it varies from person but for me (nearly?) every human contact is somewhat stressful, even watching humans interact can be very stressful. Using devices is downright bliss and calmness in comparison. I'm so happy when I see people interacting with their devices. I feel they are more like me and I feel safer with them than with people who don't.
Is there a sale or not? If there's not a sale it's not advertising. If it's not advertising it should be allowed, false or not. If it is advertising it's not just speech. You lack the consistency to make your argument work. So again, I guess you're fine with arresting people over light bulbs.
In theory at least your tarpit won't be prevalent enough to have much effect. Since you're making it all up, no one else will have written about the same ideas (as they might if you were writing true things), and your mischief will be lost in the sea of all the other input.

> Because the logic of the philosophy is sound, the model cannot ignore the findings

This isn't how the LLMs like ChatGPT work: they have no novel or abstract reasoning power. They cannot distinguish truth from fiction, or logic from illogic, except to the extent that truth and logic are represented more than their opposites in the inputs. ChatGPT is a very large and complex "database" of sorts containing statistics of word sequences.

(Of course there's a longstanding question in AI research about when/if such a thing can become large and complex enough to cross the threshold to "actually" reasoning. But I don't think there's much debate that we're not there yet.)

Sam Beckett wrote the play to be only men. That was his vision for the story he wrote, and he was completely unwilling to compromise on it.

Even though other people want to change it, they will have to wait until either the people who enforce the copyright stop enforcing it or until it goes public domain.

Even though the view is outdated, I can't blame the author for wanting his story told his way, even if other people could tell it better with a few changes.

The only people that have done wrong here are the administrators who cancelled the play over their misinterpretation of a policy, following the letter of the law instead of the spirit.

After all, per the article, in their pursuit of equality and inclusivity, they have wasted the time and talents of many women, trans people, and people of color all because some dead person used the power of the law to prevent the possibility of women being cast into a role he wrote for men.
