My experience so far with publishing to the extension store has been that they examine both the code shipped as well as the scopes used. I've had apps rejected due to overly broad scopes and it was obvious based on the responses that the reviewer was pretty competent at JS.
Every time I've ever played there's been spares, not because people thought you'd need spares, but because every individual person wanted to make sure there would be at least one ball there.

This doesn't solve that particular problem.

Also during the warmup you need multiple balls. Then you don't have 10 people all waiting forever to take their shot.

> based on all of human history, you have a few people at the top who “own” the AI, gatekeep and charge for access to it, own the IP-equivalent of whatever it produces, and life will continue as normal for 80%-99% of peasants/laborers

It really seems like “all of human history” tells a different story. The standard of living for virtually everyone is much higher now than it was in the past. Obviously there are people who capture a large share of the value. That is true is in any competitive system. But technological advancements have improved the entire world on average.
Nice thing about using a laptop, makes a nice 3rd/2nd monitor in your setup if you use a dock. I use a dock and home and work, with nice big monitors.
I’m interested to see what strategy GCP will go with. Azure partnered with OpenAI and AWS partnered with HF. It seemed like from the Google blog post they are going to try to market their home grown AI tech through GCP but for many categories they have opted to partner or buy vendors to add more products to GCP.

I tend to think the web as we see it today is made on a lot of shortcuts made for the sake of simplicity and performance.

There will be no free lunch, if we want something more distributed, reliable, secure, we will need to make compromises on simplicity and performance.
The US is what happens when a small group of economic/political competitors get a thinly-populated continent for free. The rights and freedoms emphasis makes total sense in a context where you have what seem like unlimited resources by individual human standards. World population in 1776 was under 1 billion and in Europe it was about 150m, or 1/3 of today's.

It's unwise for Americans to stay so mentally anchored to this origin story. It's not that it doesn't have value, but it has increasingly less to do with reality because it depends on a condition of superabundance that no longer obtains.
Sounds like we agree then that extensions are not any different from other apps in this respect and that you should always review the source code if you are installing software that needs to be given great power.
Not meant to defend (or bash) "agile" stuff, but isn't banking industry quite weird when it comes to modern software development? I'm simply not sure they can be a good example, given how generally awkward and legacy-ridden the whole industry is.

Rising interest rates is not just an American phenomenon. The European Central Bank is raising rates as well, as are many central banks around the world.
Isn't the better question "why is this time unique?"

The problem isn't new, it's always existed as a pathology of American society. You already have been trading away the gains of technological improvement to an ever shrinking group of people in control of capital.

AI isn't creating a new problem, it's a reminder of an old one. Which should make it clear that even bothering to talk about AI specifically is talking about the wrong issue.

Where these discussions trip up is different kinds of programming tasks vary in how mentality draining they are.

Some days I can spend 10 long hours working through straightforward problems and come home energized. Other days I mentally check out after spending 3-4 hours beating my head against a really difficult problem then go home and have little desire to do anything but zone out and recover.
This isn't really new, and it isn't anywhere near that level.

The shared data on ios and android isnt all that important. Sure, you might not want a random app to read your photos, but it's not getting access to your bank session token. And these days you can grant apps to only specific photos.

The vast majority of extensions require the ability to read and modify the dom on any website to do anything. This is so much worse than the average app permissions.

Probably off-topic. Has anyone done a security review of ublock origin chrome extension?
This episode is a great learning experience for the student body and the faculty.

When I receive a communication from a senior official, my expectations are as follows:

1) the communication was probably written by someone else
2) the contents of the communication were reviewed and approved by the senior official

If either of the associate deans (or a responsible intermediary, on behalf of the associate deans) had reviewed the communication, they would have made a note to remove the mention of ChatGPT. The outrage is completely justified, yet the communication itself would have been acceptable, if a human had written it.

We should let this moment of outrage pass. Whether the junior person is prompting an AI model or copy-pasting the best bits from previous communications, the senior person's role remains unchanged.
This context is 'versus google' so I don't know, that's a very low bar.
Yes, they have been testing and sharing with plenty of news outlets if you care enough to seek it out. The chemicals were burned off and have now dispersed, there is no more source to worry about for anything airborne. It's too bad this is an area of mostly poor, uneducated, right wingers that don't probably know much about chemistry or analytical thinking. Perhaps they could put their energy into ensuring the groundwater does not become contaminated instead of carrying on about things that don't matter, such as Joe Biden and air pollution.
It's in the article:

> [The lawyer's] arguments seemed to stray sometimes from the logic used in the Gonzalez family’s complaint, and that frequently confused some justices.

When a judge is "confused", what they mean is that the lawyer isn't making sense. (Cf., "The Wookkie defense")
They paint stripes on cows to keep the horseflies away, so it's worth looking into.
> You could probably say this about anything that improves productivity.

The claim goes too far though. Automation, thus far, has been good for everyone. Mostly those with capital, but also those without. The zero sum outcomes implied by the headline don't hold up to what we've observed with increased living standards globally as automation has improved economic output.
How are you determining how "far behind" SD is compared to midjourney?

I personally found that stable diffusion has been just as good at producing imagery. And i have seen plenty of fine tuning done for specific purposes (see https://civitai.com/models/5585/deliberate-for-invoke for example).

And the fact that SD is available locally, as opposed to midjourney, makes it more of a hotbed for new innovations.
Google has enough homegrown AI tech that they don't really need partnerships or acquisitions. Despite OpenAI getting outsized media coverage, Google still has a miles-long lead in the general area. Most of the advancements that made today's generative models possible came out of Google Research and Google Brain. Their real problem at the moment is productization and marketing.
Think of how good life would
be if socialism had been allowed to flourish and not smothered in the cradle by the US.
Building takes time though. The more you have to show, the easier marketing is. So the key is to build faster, which is problematic when you're bootstrapping.
Some people definitely are. The typical reasons are some combination of (1) Subscriptions are more expensive and restrictive, (2) discovering "good" content has gotten harder, (3) fan favorite shows are getting aggressively axed.
Which is exactly why these permissions exists. If you don't take permissions that allows you to horrible things, you are rubber stamped and can go on your way. If you want to do more involved things, you're escalated.
Stack Overflow isn't a social network.

Mass murders are usually unprofitable.
I think this mostly nails how Agile is largely practiced. Being prepared with a clear, concise, well-communicated vision of what you want to build is essential to developing quality software, regardless of the adopted process.

Agilists frequently argued investing time and energy into crafting requirements is an “anti-pattern”, so being unprepared became the Right Way To Work TM. This is 100% dead-ass wrong.
Becareful of regulatory capture tho. If the one with AI headstart can capture a huge swath of value, said value can be used to lobby and bribe legislators or the executives of the government.

There's no good way to put the AI genie back in the bottle, or make sure it will not create catastrophic undesired consequences. Only way is forward, even if there is no good path in sight.
Yes. I am saying that. Because it's an abuse of a monopolistic position.
ping me. i may have something..
That's a useful number. Just yesterday we had an announcement of an open source system you can train with one GPU on a desktop for simple models. That could usefully use 16 or 24 GPUs, but it's not like you need a whole data center. It doesn't look like this is an industry with excessive monopoly potential.

The real issue for machine learning is that it lets you build systems that optimize for some metric. That's what corporations do. I've been pointing out lately that the ethical problems for AI in the near term look very much like those for corporations.
I've been regularly watching various machinists on YouTube for a few years now, so this feels very normal to me even though I have no actual experience in machining.
This is interesting. I’d always assumed the stripes were camouflage, similar to a tiger’s stripes. Tigers look orange and black to us, but many prey animals perceive color differently, and the tiger’s stripes help it blend in among jungle foliage. The photos in this short article demonstrate the effect:

Supply and demand applies to resources, in general, not just capital resources.
The US has done plenty of killing in SE Asia and Central and South America in defense of capitalism.

Its goal function.
What would be a good rate for you atm?
What I find amazing is that one thousandth of an inch is not particularly precise when it comes to machining. You can easily make parts to that accuracy with common mills and lathes.

Also surprisingly (to me) is if you have a pin that goes into a hole that is 1-2 thousandths of an inch larger than the pin, it feels like a sloppy loose fit. If you want the pin to feel like a really nice smooth fit you need more like a couple TEN THOUSANDTHS of an inch clearance.
At most places I’ve worked, long standups turn into “watch somebody else use Jira” meetings that all participants ignore until they hear their names. Not a great use of anybody’s time.
Why does stroke order matter? Is it to handle animating them and if each stroke isn’t the same colour?

Sorry but I don’t know much about these kinds of characters.
AFAIK updates go through a review process as well.

Reducing the attack surface has similar benefits for this case. There will be fewer extensions with dangerous permissions around for bad actors to buy, and the the reviews for the remaining legit use cases for those dangerous permissions can be stricter.
I found my current co-founder on HackerNews. He is lurking somewhere here. This indeed was along the timeline where YC was introducing the co-founder matching. Startup School already was testing it and I was part of that.

I was matched with quite a few good ones but were on different agendas in life. Two of the ones I know are part of YCombinator now. Quite a lot of them were also pretty shallow and spammy/scammy. But then I think that is part of the deal.

I already had a co-founder (business) and I'm fairly technical. But I needed a hard-core Machine Learning Geospatial person who have meddled with the pigs in the AI mud.

I remembering writing about it more like a job here on Hackernews and we ended up talking about satellites, precision agriculture, climate, and sustainability. After two years, we are still struggling together to building something that we are very proud now and in future, not just for us but for our kids and their friends. :-)

Btw, my prior co-founder got a Government Job in a reputed institute in India. We are no longer co-founders but continue to be friends, hoping that we will something to work together on.

P.S. I'm not actively looking but would love to talk to someone who loves finding ways to curb climate change and is extremely good at sales. I'm getting better at it but far from what I want to be. I want to learn more together and we still have a big chunk of equity reserved for the right person. :-)
Well ... lead is dangerous for completely different reasons. And anderson's toy soldier was of tin!

I read perrault too, including bluebeard, and enjoyed it. The only book I can remember being really scared of was an illustrated version of 'the spider and the fly', which is not a fairy tale at all (though it is rather lovely). Movies tended to be scarier ('wallace and gromit' comes to mind), likely on account of the more vivid imagery. And we see now how dangerous video can be, especially for small children, in the form of youtube and tiktok; worrying about how scary a story is seems like trifling nonsense when the real danger and harm take a completely different form.

That said, my little sister seems to have been much more sensitive to scary things than I, at a given age. At ~10, she gave up partway through both the lord of the rings and harry potter, despite being rather taken with both (whereas, I read lord of the rings at ~5 and harry potter at ~12 with no problem). So I don't know; maybe I was unique. n=2; draw your own conclusions :)
I wouldn't say it's closer to a person, more simply that to claim it's work verbatim and without substantial modification as your own is perhaps dubious and not entirely honest. Even then, "substantial modification" is somewhat arbitrary. Definitely an interesting philosophical topic.
You can still use Huggingface in GCP. It’s an open source library with open source models. A lot of my Google Colab notebooks have been just messing around with HF models.
That update's coming later tonight!

I ask this myself all the time.

One thing that I think we need to adopt as standard practice is self-describing storage formats. That is, for any file (or, more broadly, a binary blob - say, hard drive image), I should be able to look for a well-known marker in the bitstream, and, having found it, be able to easily extract a detailed human-readable spec for the format with no special tools. Better yet if it comes with a simple reference implementation optimized for simplicity and ease of understanding, even if it's very slow.

This doesn't solve the problem for physical representations of data, but so long as we can keep re-archiving the bits...
I agree, but I don't think it's just as simple as us becoming "willing to engage with it". It's a hard problem, and a solution may be literally impossible.

I remember reading Cory Doctorow saying why DRM could never succeed. For an attacker to decrypt your content, they need the encrypted content, the decryption device, and the key. For a legitimate user to see your content, they also need the encrypted content, the decryption device, and the key. If it turns out that one of your users is also an attacker (it only takes one), then it's game over.

In the same way, the internet as we know it takes the ability for any source IP address to be able to send packets to any destination IP address, plus protocols for mail, web, and so on. This lets anyone create content for anyone. But if one of the "anyones" turns out to be a spammer, it's not quite game over, but the information pollution begins and poisons everything.

But the point is, I don't think you can fix it while also keeping what made the internet wonderful.
It's nice to see someone using some logic in here, there is a ton of ignorance. The only issue is that people always need to find someone to blame. Most aren't going to take facts like you have provided and use that in their assessment of the situation. My main concern would be the groundwater if anything, not the byproducts of combustion that have long blown away in the wind, or the fact Joe Biden didn't come walk around the town. I can imagine the town hall meetings are full of ignorant fools who just want to blame and be angry or political.
Counter big AI with big government. Dystopian hellscape.
> assume that WASPs a century ago were saying things like "these immigrants will destroy our way of life, we have to stop them", as opposed to "they'll have a Little Italy neighborhood in NYC, and we can't allow that".

Southern Italian immigrants brought their culture to the entire city, and eventually to city administration. It wasn’t just the food. In terms of how people carry themselves, in terms of orderliness, etc., NYC is much more like a Mediterranean city than a British or Dutch city.

> I don't hear many WASPs today complaining that their fears from a century ago came true, nor many who are bothered by Italians at the moment.

All those people are dead, and the ones there currently have no other reference point.

> Maybe it's human nature for groups to not want to share, and that's a big part of the problem.

Why do they owe it to anyone else to share what they built?
Where will the children of the wealthy go now?
> but get a fewer piece of the pie

i dont think that's true. The average wealth has grown, and even if you didn't get wage growth, the availability of things you could buy with said wage has grown (which is in and of itself a form of wealth).
In my case I had two systems with 10x 2080tis in them that were being used for ML stuff. But the memory limits were annoying, and when ethereum mining really hit high swing I was able to sell the cards for a great price (even though 3xxx cards were out). I expected to replace them with faster modern cards with more memory at the same price later but we really haven't gotten there yet-- gpu prices are still super inflated and all except the most absurd cards are still memory starved (for ML). In the interim it turned out to be really cheap to get K80s.
> If the people you are hiring are doing the same work as full time employees, with the same work structure, you're not supposed to hire them as contractors.

This is not true at all. Many firms do “staff augmentation” for exactly what the parent described, bursty work for clients on a time and materials basis.

Q: How would we differentiate between a spy balloon and a weather balloon?

I agree with you in principle, but today I think it's completely impossible: too many people really prefer living in authoritarian systems. Even in democratic systems, we've seen many times that people will happily vote for fascists and authoritarians who want to remove their democracy.

Apart from one high profile NZ startup (possibly the same one) most companies seem to be okay. Lots of companies still hiring although not as aggressively as a year ago.
