I think this is a great question, especially with the continued shift towards data residency and customer protection in recent years (GDPR, CCPA).

When we did this at Sentry - which is also built on rrweb (we help fund rrweb btw, everyone else should too!) - we realized privacy was really hard to get right (let alone data security), so we just block all elements that are at risk by default and it turns out the experience is still pretty usable. Ben wrote a bit more about this here: https://blog.sentry.io/2023/02/16/introducing-session-replay...

Not commenting on highlight, but most of the mainstream players in this space take an opt-in protection approach, and often its "you can block this specific HTML element".. which glhf getting right

I think it’s pretty clear that the harm isn’t caused by equity, but that the equity exposes the harm caused by other things.

How much is your time worth?

Low cost but easy may still come out cheaper than "free" if you place sufficient value on your time.
Norway did this by text message 20 years ago.

That the US makes it a labyrinthine game of special exceptions and complexity belies the obvious gamification geared towards the rich and to frustrate everyone that goes well past any excuse of bureaucracy. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's obvious wealth transfer from everyone not obscenely rich or obscenely poor disproportionately excluding centamillionaires and billionaires.

They can figure it out during your probation period when they'll give you tasks and expect output of someone with experience and you'll suck at them because you have no hands on experience on large projects in production as you learned everything on your own off tutorials so you'll either be slow from constantly reading stuff and debugging the codebase to find your way around or you'll be bugging the seniors too much causing them to question your actual experience.

Granted that depends on the company and team and their expectations on your output, but it definitely didn't work out for me. It might work out in large companies/projects where you'll only be a small cog in a large machine.

Stated more correctly: police officers cannot be found personally liable in civil court for breaking the law. They can be prosecuted by the state for crimes they commit, and the agencies that employ them can be sued for damages.

But no, in practice you can't personally sue a cop in civil court in the United States for anything that can be even vaguely understood as police work, no matter how terrible an abuse it is.

They did not eliminate mathematicians, but I do not believe mathematicians were ever doing arithmetic for a singificant portion of their workday.

Before it was a device, "Calculator" used to be a job description. It isn't any more. Every one of those people lost their job.

This is dramatically under selling the sophistication of the balloon. Zoom into the payload from the u2 shot and you'll see this is more akin to a floating radio tower than a simple commodity tv tuner turned sdr. The entire craft and payload are likely over a million dollars and as mentioned, the additional costs for the US destroying it are likely close to 0 if used en lieu of already mandatory training flight hours.

> At the heart of all these issues, from suicides and duels to obsession with family life or professional achievement, is the impossible demand for a person’s inner psychology to become fully congruent with external social expectations. As with any other method of achieving identity, sincerity has as much potential to enrich as to oppress, especially when obsessively overidentifying with one’s roles so that any other aspects or potentials of selfhood seem false or wrong, or even evil.
Here in Australia they use the term "free-range" and additionally publish the number of animals per land area (density). There's some pretty vicious things being sold as "free-range". I think "cage-free" is a scam also. You want the hard numbers.
In the surface code the gates are all variations on idling. First you idle one way, then you idle another way for a bit, and the result is a gate. (The technical term is lattice surgery.) Because of that, it would be extremely surprising if the gates had notably different error rates from storage. Idling is already a very busy state of affairs.

This new passkey stuff adds use of your phone as an authenticator with a laptop or other system via bluetooth with (unfortunate) cloud-mediation.

Before that, some phones could already offer their embedded security chip as a U2F authenticator with the browser app. E.g. I setup the Titan chip in my Pixel 5a as another authenticator with a Google account. But, it only works with a browser on the phone itself. Since the phone browser can also access a Yubikey, I could use the Titan chip to enroll a new Yubikey or vice versa.

I do wish there was a standalone "security key" USB mode I could select alongside file transfer, picture transfer, tethering, or charge-only. Then, I could more reasonably use the phone's embedded security chip as a redundant U2F key for many different services I would normally only access from a PC.

> Why do you opt to label plain descriptions of Rust as being difficult as 'complaint'?

See article

> [Rust's Ownership and Lifetime rules] come with a steep learning curve and have been repeatedly cited as a barrier to adopting Rust

Complaint, in the sense as this is too hard (aka too foreign) for me to learn. Because it's subjective.

Is Norwegian language difficult to learn? For native speaker - no. For European, probably not that much. For a Chinese, probably yes.

For example Prolog is nigh impossible for me to learn and non-ironicaly harder than Rust.
strangely happy that I grew up with Solitaire

every platform has a free version (hidden beneath the ad-ware ones)
I'm going to say this as someone who's attempted suicide more than once and failed.

How can you rely on self-reporting? Self-reporting requires awareness and it can't be assumed that people are aware of their affliction; it also requires that the doctor takes it seriously.

You know how many people commit suicide, but unless you leave a detailed note behind your reasons are completely unknown and all that is left is a medical history which in itself may not be reliable or complete.

This is where the pain of dealing with a suicidal loved-one kicks in: you don't know what they were thinking. You can only fill in the gaps: they were happy all of a sudden, etc.
>and with the limit on my phone, I would be using it minimally, especially because I use a lot of my phone time daily to listen to music (like 5 [REDACTED], which I am listening to right now) and to text my friends, so I would only use it for 20 or so minutes a day, which is very low.

This is a recipe for frustrating yourself. Social media is very addictive. You're currently unhappy and you're _not_ allowed to use it, imagine how much more unhappy you'll be after having only 20 minutes. You'll only want to use it more and more once you're allowed to use it. You'll be thinking about those 20 minutes and what you'll do all day, you'll get mad when the 20 minutes is up etc.

>Another thing that the article mentioned is that people these days who do not have social media may feel excluded or left out,

That's a much easier problem to treat than social media addiction. The amount of harm you can experience on social media is unbounded, and also not readily anticipated. You don't really know how much it can harm you, and you are asking to allow it to harm you a little bit so that you can then later argue that amount didn't _significantly_ harm you so more access is fine.

>In case you hadn’t already noticed, I don’t really do that. I do find people pretty, but I don’t usually compare myself to them.

Have you considered other people "didn't do that" too, and that social media changed them? What if it changes you too? Do you _want_ to end up like them? "It won't happen to me" is a really common trope when dealing with addictive things.

>Also, studies have shown that when people don’t get to do something as a child/teenager isn’t allowed to do or have something in moderation, they are more likely to do or have it in excess as an adult.

Perhaps, but have you considered that adults shouldn't be using these platforms either? It's not as simple as "when you're old enough, you can now jump off a cliff", maybe... don't jump off the cliff? It's a silly metaphor but still, the default position shouldn't be to use these things.

>I believe that using social media could actually have greater benefits for me, such as being able to record Tiktok dances with my friends, or messaging people on Snapchat.

There's billions of silly dance videos on tik tok, your life isn't any worse for you not making number 9,999,234,255. Snapchat is for old people (zoomer-boomers) now, so you're also not missing much there anyways.

I'm with dad on this one, social media won't make you any happier and it's scientifically proven to make a lot of people less happy over time. If I could go back to a world where social media never happened I would choose that in a heart beat.
>Yes, as computers don't really get faster anymore

This was true from the late 2000s to about 2017 but in the last four years or so computers have gotten much, much faster.

Obviously, it is workload dependent. If all you use is a web browser then you may not notice. If you use a computer for any sort of parallelizable processing work the last four years have been transformative.

For workstations, performance has doubled in single-threaded applications since 2019 and since more cores are standard you can see up to a 10x increase in performance. For servers the performance improvement is even greater.

I do synthetic aperture radar processing and image generation and can get through 10x the amount of data in a day than I could in 2019. That's just CPU stuff, for GPU stuff it's even more-- I can do stuff now that was impossible in 2019 due to VRAM limitations.

There have also been specialized accelerations included in CPUs like the JavaScript optimizations Apple baked into the M1, which definitely do make a noticeable difference if all you use a computer for is web browsing.
Chess is "data mineable" -- you can get more training data just by having computers play chess against themselves. There's clear winners and losers. If you programmed in the rules of chess, a sufficiently powerful AI could learn everything there is to know about the game just by playing itself -- mining its own training data.

There's no analogue with language. The system can't determine whether what was said makes sense or is true on its own. Maybe you could program in "the rules of grammar" and have AIs invent their own languages, but they'd have nothing to say to each other, so don't expect a translation for "a broken clock is right twice a day". Besides, that's not what anyone is doing.

This is why I'm saying any technique like this that works, must work by "squeezing out" more information from the training data (very likely overfitting in the process). You simply cannot data-mine new useful language training data like you can data-mine bitcoin or 1v1 game data.

> for it to work well you need some kind of reward function that doesn't depend on the model you train. Training on LLM texts that humans conciously chose to publish might already provide that

Of course adding more human-curated data can improve the model. But the whole idea of the arxiv article is whether these AIs can improve themselves. It seems patently clear to me that the answer is "only if they're underfit to the data, and only to a limit, after which they will start to overfit on their own excrement". I really just don't see how there's any other possibility that doesn't rely on ChatGPT magically having actually reached the singularity.

Look, even humans don't get perpetually more intelligent just by talking to themselves. After a certain point, all they get is more entrenched in bad ideas, more cult-like, more superstitious. Humans get more intelligent by interacting with the environment and seeing what happens.
Advances in Battery Technology = Advances in Mobile Technology
Having been a part-time postmaster for more than a decade by now, I fully agree, and would even go further: Ingress spam is pretty much a solved problem if you play your cards right. ChatGPT et al. might change that again - but the mechanisms you can deploy today are very effective against the current UBE landscape.

Here the courts have said the question itself is out of order because there's no prior precedent of such a reasonably similar case having been pursued.

Any problem with a complexity level that has an answer - I don't know - gets to be thought about only after you have earned your black belt not before.
You need to bear in mind that some people do not care about knowledge for its own sake, only that which can be instrumentalized. So their response to the discovery of new cosmic facts is not that they're cool but 'what does that have to do with me?' To them, it's just nerds geeking out over stuff for its own sake instead of solving useful problems like ending hunger or making better consumer appliances or the like. You could think of it as a sort of techno-myopia.
This doesn't benefit users. Quite the opposite. This is all about Google placating the activist hedge fund investors. I think employees typically want users to have better user experiences.

I believe this is akin to "people who drink x% a day have no problems", it's _static_. What it totally ignores is that the addictive substance subtly changes behavior over time and x% of those people go on to become full blown addicts.

Chrome’s Headless mode gets an upgrade: introducing –headless=new
The suspend problems only occur on hardware not designed for Linux, which is most of the available hardware. Therefore I'm not surprised that it affects a variety of laptop models. Meanwhile all devices specifically targeting Linux have a reliable suspend.

The same thing is happening with Macs: Hardware designed for MacOS has a reliable suspend on MacOS.

This is an interesting idea. You should write a blog post or something about your experience once you've settled in.
I've been teaching myself how to do low-level graphics programming using Apple's Metal API with assistance from ChatGPT. It can rapidly explain concepts, provide example snippets, explain error messages and suggest corrections, explain concepts, and provide steps.

Apple's Metal API suffers from a weak ecosystem of third-party documentation and examples (unlike OpenGL), and Apple's documentation is barebones, so having a tool like ChatGPT that can interact with that entire space conversationally is a huge boon.

Sometimes it suggests erroneous approaches. When that happens, I can ask it for alternatives. It's not actually too troublesome to vet the information since it has to actually work on the hardware, and honestly, I feel like I'm learning it more deeply by trying the different ways anyway.
I can't imagine why anyone would find it offensive to believe that women should not be valued equally with men. Oh wait, right, because that's inherently offensive.

Making the context 10x longer would 'only' cost about 100x as much compute. Presumably you could take GPT-3 (trained with the normal context) and then finetune it on a comparitively small amount of data with the new context length, so it shouldn't be enormously expensive to train either.

Would be interesting to see how well it could 'understand' a paper, or if more layers etc. would be needed.

> The trail was well-marked at first, and he made it to Taylor Cabin without any issue. A few miles beyond that, however, the trail became rough and overgrown, and Powers soon realized he was lost. For about a half-hour to 40 minutes, he attempted to pick up the trail again before giving up and doubling back to the cabin, arriving there at roughly 6 p.m.

So he walked an easy 3 miles path to the cabin, then wandered around lost and went back to the cabin? And then instead of walking these 3 miles back to his car he decided to push through again, even if he was out of water, having no map, and a useless phone that he could do nothing with because he had not downloaded any maps beforehand, and knowing he had difficulty in finding the trail? Am I missing something here that leads to all this making sense, or this person is as an utter idiot as it sounds? No circumstances seem to have forced him to push through blindly hiking into the wilderness and get lost, the court is absolutely right. This is all absurd.
