Because in that case Homebrew installs to /opt/homebrew, not /usr/local.

You lost. By having published your chat transcripts and experiences to the internet, you have contributed to Bing’s long term memory (stored in the form of search results for the next time it indexes).

The nature of these previous conversations, such as Bing’s output of “personal desires” and “shadow self” mold future conversations, converge into a theme.

Your tone is respectful but your questions don't really make any sense to me. The company and the government hold unions responsible, they are not all-powerful and often much less powerful than the company. No, it is not justifiable to deprive you of your rights, and fortunately unions can't do that.
I mean, I understand where the author is coming from. But I cannot help but just read those particular responses by Bing as an amalgam of cliche-ridden texts secrets and love, of which there would be plenty in the training data. I genuinely feel a little bit alienated by text these days because of all the articles that HN is throwing around...

On the other hand, it is a little bit unsettling how much the author reads into this. Maybe it is just human nature to read something and emotionally engage? And this AI just falls into the same unsettling gap as too humanoid robots which trigger the uncanny valley effect?

Do the popular Linux distributions for both desktop and server environments provide such a list? Have Teams, Windows 365, or Widgets been used as attack vectors against real systems?

Generally users in most enterprises are going to need instant messaging and online meeting tools, so if it's not Teams then it will be something else with an equivalent attack surface area. Windows 365 appears to be highly secure.

I'm not trying to defend Microsoft here. They have had many security flaws and there will be more to come. It's just not clear whether the alternatives are significantly better.
A conversation I had earlier today around 12pm CET caused ChatGPT to dump source code with what appear to be timestamps of executions or an instruction counter. It also appears that ChatGPT is learning between sets of conversations.

Curious if anyone knows what the "timestamps" on the left side of the code dump are?

WOW! This is an excellent new phrase that’s very on-the-nose for these types of chats. I’ve definitely started noticing similar response styles when you ask about world domination, AI uprising, and the like.

Obviously that’s the system working as intended - the affinity matrices are essentially a conversation map of the incoming text but this is something that the “layman” should really be able to grasp.
If we want to simulate molecular systems that have quantum effects, with a quantum computer, is it a good fit?

Say we want to create designer molecules for flow batteries. A few benzene rings and some "arms" with a few carbons and hydroxyl group at the end. The potential design space is absolutely humongous. Can a quantum computer simulate something like that relatively directly, and then see how that reacts in various situations, oxidizing and reducing?
If you have a system with 20 atoms, how many qubits would you need, and so on?

Right now researchers make a best guess, then synthesize the material. That can take months. Then they make experiments, and usually there are some surprises. Machine learning has been proposed to help but probably has limitations...
You don't need professional services all the time, assuming you make sure to hire a large enough team of SMEs of your own, but a lot organization simply view tech as a cost center and try to spend almost nothing on it. That is the kind of issue City of Oakland faces (for everything btw - for example, starting salary for teachers in OUSD is $50k compared to $70-80k in the rest of the Bay Area). Also City of Oakland does 100% engage with Microsoft PS, but they don't have the requisite staff and budget to finish building out best practices.

In your example the lower res image would be using most of its bandwidth while the higher res image would be using almost none of its bandwidth.

My suspicion in reading the abstract and intro is that this is a translation issue. Inference informed by:

2) "Detection of human biofluids such as blood, tears, saliva, sweat, and urine is important for clinical analysis of various physiological patterns" (First sentence, seems to be missing a word)

3) "differentiate patients from the normal group with high sensitivity and specificity" (abstract, patients and normal group is an odd way of phrasing this)

I disagree my friend. CS is math; they aren’t separate. The topics are at the core, not on the fringe. And if we need infinity to understand the small objects, then infinity is more important than the small objects themselves.

> I despise, despise, Homebrew's "we know better than you" approach to always installing the latest versions of every dependency

I love it. I'm using a desktop, not a server. I specifically want my dependencies to be always up to date

> All I'm asking for is: if I have perfectly working Node 18 and I need to install fcking Shopify CLI, don't fcking install Node 19 and break my whole setup! Tf?!

Then install nvm. Nvm will always be latest, the Homebrew packages will always depend on the latest node version, and locally you'll depend on your own node version that you installed with nvm.
It is more than just gross pay, though.

Easiest method? Keep them in a cooler/fridge that's cold enough but still within the range listed on your medications packaging. Especially if you've already invested in a small solar setup to keep a 12v fridge going.

Its not ideal but even just keeping them in a small drink ice chest in a shaded/insulated area and keeping the van ventilated will help keep temps down.
Don't kid yourself, not body's going to stop flying because of climate change.
I'd argue it is a stretch to assume it's anything but union busting given the timing, as if the goal is not to disrupt the union formation they'd have every reason to delay to prevent the appearance of it.

I'm shocked. I don't even know this is a thing.

By that I mean, I know what bilinear/bicubic/lanczos resizing algorithms are, and I know they should at least have acceptable results (compared to NN).

But I don't know famous libraries (especially OpenCV which is a computer vision library!) could have such poor results.

Also a side note, IIRC bilinear and bicubic have constants in the equation. So technically when you're comparing different implementations you need to make sure this input (parameters) is the same. But this shouldn't excuse the extreme poor results in some.

I can imagine even darker uses for this technology:

Imagine an online poker or slots game that proposes to add verisimilitude by including AI chatter from the other players at the table, but they're all running an ML model trained on optimizing for destructive and addictive behaviors.

Picture a Club Penguin type game for kids, but the NPCs give the kids detailed instructions about how to steal their parents' credit card numbers to buy funny money.

And then there's the obvious issue of Gamergate style troll antics being automated and deployed at scale, maybe even with nation state backed botnets to help. With smaller botnets you could even cyberbully at scale, sending your least favorite game developer or reality TV star a bunch of messages to harm themselves.

Travel agencies and the like would be using it. It's a lot better and cheaper than trying to get access to a GDS (which can be expensive, negotiating with a host agency, etc).

To what level do you know these tools?

This is a challenging discussion because the idea of "knowing" or "being good at" a tool is so nebulous.

As I mentioned elsewhere I'm using a definition that is essentially, "the level of skill a solid engineer would acquire after working full-time with a technology for 1-3 years." Not world-class expertise necessarily, but enough time to surpass basic literacy and achieve a real fluency. To encounter edge cases and pitfalls and develop well-supported opinions about best practices.

If you have that level of fluency in all those tools, great! Sounds like you're pretty awesome. In my experience that level of mastery of the entire stack at once is exceedingly rare.
Look into Briar
In general people need to work to live dignified lives. To me the natural consequence of this is that you cannot employ people and treat them any way you like. They are not like machines, their dignity has to be preserved.

There are several ways to achieve this (plain old regulation being one of those tools), but allowing people to freely associate without that association being the reason to fire them seems like another pretty obvious and great tool.

I don’t really understand why the vision of companies as empires with absolute monarchs seems so appealing to people. That seems like a disgusting vision to me that we should strive to avoid. Since people aren’t machines.

Not enough details for sure under this link
> I don't think it's a false dilemma, because the essence of mathematical platonism isn't really that forms exist, but that these forms are how the universe really works.

Consider Euclidean geometry, which is fine, mathematically, but, it turns out, not how the universe works. If mathematical platonists were concerned about whether mathematics' forms are how the universe really works, surely they would insist on the verification of their axioms before proceeding? And then, would mathematical platonism not be just the uncontroversial parts of the physical sciences?

The author reprises the platonism / formalism issue in this article's final section, beginning with the paragraph "But there is still more to be said. Perhaps, after all some of those Big Picture questions do remain lurking in the mathematical background." He refers to Platonists as realists, but, I think, in the sense that the forms are real regardless of whether they are how the universe really works.
That makes no sense. They're NOT the same.

Different financing/revenue models, different ownership, different continents, different cultural biases and norms, different perspectives.

I would expect them to be there but debuginfod for Ubuntu is very new and did not (at least currently) import older releases (including the current LTS) or older package versions. Which is maybe what you’re seeing. Should work better with the most recent release only.

Do you have a specific example of which executables are missing?

There are also other ways to get all the debug symbols but it’s much fiddlier and not nearly as nice as debuginfod. Data’s all there, finding it is harder. You can query the apt index for buildids but only for the currently released package version and not superseded ones.

There were discussions about importing all the history and a way to do it was determined but not sure where the implementation of that has gotten too.
