This list has been pretty well known for about 10 years at least. I remember having this list for at least that long.

From what I understand as well, self-explanation can be higher depending on how elaborate the encoding is.

edit: just noticed that the date was 2013 and not 2023 so 10 years is correct. I read this same article long ago.
I am one of the "contemporary youth populace" and will second his comment.
For these people it’s always someone else’s fault. Everything would have worked out if nefarious elites hadn’t interfered, or if some of their followers hadn’t been so weak-willed.

But next time it’s going to be perfect. The establishment will be foiled and everybody on our side will have diamond hands. So get in now, be early on the next wave, buy now before everyone else discovers this, etc. Rinse, repeat… SPACs, penny stocks, crypto, MLM pyramids, it’s all the same story.

It's very common scam and not only in Russia. A woman splits the profits with the restaurant that charges the naive Western tourists 10x of normal bill(actually it can be without a woman trap involvment). The same can happen with a clothing store. Some guys can spend like $1000 on woman's clothes which she promptly returns and gets part of her share.
Heck even on Greek islands, many clubs had attractive ladies on payrol to get the guys in and buy drinks.

Successfully established businesses have a "real" income stream stemming from market activities, and aren't directly dependent on external "cheap money", except as a second-order derivative.

i.e. If the primary market you cater to is comprised of startups, then your business will also be affected by the crunch inasmuch as you're dependent on revenue from those [now dryer] markets.

Businesses who may not be substantially directly impacted can be expected to become more timid, cautious, and fearful in general. This can easily translate to re-focusing on things the organization has strong core domain expertise in and less on risky exploratory development.
> if your understanding of a topic is based purely on what you've heard in the media, then you are less informed than someone who has never heard of that topic.

That's not even possible. Even if you are misinformed or misunderstand something about an issue, simply having awareness of an issue makes you more informed on that subject than someone unaware that it exists.
Yeah I think a lot of us who work in tech TNS honestly welcome regulation.

All the points were valid, but when people talk about the invisibility of male victims...this is it.
I wonder what connected vehicle manufacturers will do about encryption being compromised in the U.K.?

I’m nervous at the prospect of my Tesla communicating in (to all intents and purposes) plaintext with the mothership. The API for that car covers sensitive features that would make the car unsafe if compromised
Why separate noise from signal? Why isn't AI-generated stuff seen just as valuable as human-written one? When you fill the world with plastic, you need to evolve to eat plastic. When you surround yourself with AI-produced stuff, then you should learn to respect it.

First of all, evaluating someone based on what they wrote or said or did, is nonsense.
You are right, this is a silly study. "...in students" is pretty much the same as "...in mice".

I'm waiting for someone to conclude that code comments are pointless because they make no difference to the ability of students to implement fizzbuzz.
Yeah the duplicate email thing is a classic problem, but I’m not sure it’s one of “idempotence”. This can happen in any (intended to be) transactional operation that creates a side affect.

Hit an error, roll-back, side-affect can’t be rolled back. Retry - side-affect happens again.

Wouldn’t the general approach be to have unique message identifiers and queue side-affects? Maybe I’m missing lots of subtleties.

As the complexity of a being increases, the motivations it can have expands. We humans have a hard time looking up the IQ hierarchy, let alone way up the hierarchy, and seeing it that way. We tend to start simplifying because we can't imagine being 1000 times smarter than we are. We tend to think they'll just be Spock or maybe a generic raving lunatic. But it's pretty obvious mathematically that such a being can have more possible states and motivations than we can.

The most likely motivation for an AI to decide to wipe out humanity is one that doesn't even have an English word associated with it, except as a faint trace.

In my opinion, this is actually the greatest danger of AIs, one we can already see manifesting in a fairly substantial way with the GPT-line of transformer babble-bots. We can't help but model them as human. They aren't. There's a vast space of intelligent-but-not-even-remotely-human behaviors out there, and we have a collective gigantic blindspot about that because the only human-level intelligences we've ever encountered are humans. For all the wonderful and fascinating diversity of being human, there's also an important sense in which the genius and the profoundly autistic and the normal guy and the whole collection of human intelligence is all just a tiny point in the space of possibilities, barely distinguishable from each other. AIs are not confined to it in the slightest. They already live outside of there by quite a ways and the distance they can diverge from us only grows larger as their capabilities improve.

In fact people like to talk about how alien aliens could be, but even other biological aliens would be confined by the need to survive in the physical universe and operate on it via similar processes in physically-possible environments. AIs don't even have those constraints. AIs can be far more alien then actual biological aliens.
It’s so common to see Google bashing on HN now that it’s become a cliche. Google has never been good at monetizing products beyond their search. I don’t think it has anything to do with growing too large for its own good. Google is this generation’s Xerox PARC.
I have heard variations of this scam in other places around the world. I think it's sadly a somewhat common scam.

Either a fake date or someone in front of the café or bar leads you in. You have a few drinks and are subsequently presented with an outrageous bill, and a few burly men have appeared out of nowhere preventing you from leaving. Police don't really care since you're just a foreigner.

Abroad in Japan (a great YouTube channel about Japan) recently made a good video on the topic: https://youtu.be/NeZUOFKOUeI
People love to say this, but this is extremely dense writing riddled with technical language, written for people trained in reading it. You could perhaps eliminate some of the jargon, but in doing so you'd have to substitute a book's worth of less "florid" writing to get the same point across.
I think y’all are mixing up “electricity is everywhere” which is what I stated with “charging stations are everywhere”

These are different problems.
That is a very common scam in China. If the girl you just met is too good to be true, ya, you are going to get scammed.
It's easy for humans once they're taught what variables mean and after 10 or so years of exposure to a real world multimodal training set that's orders of magnitude more data than GPT has seen. Also, algebra is not so easy for people with IQs lower than 90, so not exactly all humans right? What exactly am I supposed infer about how GPT or other AIs and human brains operate from this apples to cars comparison?

You don't have to point out failure modes of GPT, I know what they are. The question we're discussing here is what this indicates, if anything, about how these systems operate as compared to human brains, and whether the differences come down to training data or the fundamental architecture.

Thanks, your comment proves this shortsightedness.
No. I was much more specific with my statement.

Your comments are based on your own extrapolation.
You're still kinda stuck with concurrency of the python code itself though. It sure would be nice to be able to just throw cores at problems for awhile.

Computers are cheap, and people are expensive.
They do, you can't charge a 16" M1 MacBook Pro at 140W without the MagSafe cable. The USB-C port is capped at 96W. And I believe to charge at 60W+ you need an e-marked cable.

... which is roughly what's being proposed here for iPhone. Since some Samsung devices charge at 45W and require 3A (hence e-marked) cables, one can infer Apple wants to do something similar for iPhone in the future.

FullStory | Staff Product Security Engineer | Remote (USA & Canada) or Atlanta, GA | https://www.fullstory.com/

FullStory provides privacy-preserving analytics and session replay for mobile and web. (Or, as the marking folks like to say, "Digital Experience Intelligence")

We're looking for someone to help us design, build, and maintain secure software, and develop practices that lead to better security.

FullStory is SOC2 + HITRUST certified, ISO 27001 & 27701 certified, and a bunch more that you can see at https://trust.fullstory.com/ (Although I think this job is more focused on the nuts and bolts of building a secure product than meeting specific certifications. But, there's some overlap between the two.)

I believe the majority of the company is remote, and it's been the best experience yet in my ~15 years of working remotely. The office in Atlanta is pretty cool too, though.

I don't know exactly what pay they have in mind, but I can say that as a fairly senior software engineer, I make a bit over $200k base. Plus equity, healthcare, 401k matching, unlimited PTO (I take about 5 weeks a year off + ~2 weeks of company holidays), etc. Feel free to ask me about anything.

I mean isn’t it just the same as with a real world package/message. It just depends on how much effort you are willed to put into your desired delivery model?! …
But guaranteed is nothing, never.
Sorry, but I'm trying my best.
> “If I am 51 and she is 23, how can I not think I am being catfished for a possible robbery?”

The man makes a fair point. Personally, I don't go on a date unless I am convinced this person and I have some things in common and would actually have a good time hanging out. If one party is worried, they can ask for a phone call/video chat or to exchange social media. I have a feeling many men are far less discerning and are simply "swiping right" on everyone and then engage with any of the resulting "matches" that give them the time of day.
So when does the receiver record the IDs? When it receives the message but before processing or after it's processed the message? If the former, then what if it goes down during processing? Then the other receivers will keep rejecting the message even though it's never processed. So now it's less than once. If the receiver records it after it's done processing, then it could go down after processing but before recording it in the DB. So now you have more than once.

Also, isn't the assumption here that you will have a reliable connection to a shared DB?

You can have engineered solutions that is pragmatically close to deliver exactly once but it's not "pure" -- there are still scenarios, however unlikely, that it will fail.
This should be on the front-page, not the overdramatic "ex Googler" opinion piece about his frustrated crush with a chatbot.
I’m warming up to the idea, so I’m watching the new models with interest.

I should hope Tesla will use the opportunity to improve their build quality and QA processes during the retooling. It was understandable as a new manufacturer in the recent past appealing to a customer base of early adopters willing to overlook those issues for the tech advancements elsewhere in the cars. Now there is no plausible excuse.
Transport would also be a major cost. I don't think they are entirely sure how they were moved around, but one suggestion is a team of approx 20-30 men rocked/walked them to their final positions (i.e. upright, two teams on either side alternating pulling on ropes etc) over a period of days.

UK minimum wage is £10.42/h so:

10.42 * 30 men * 8 hours * 5 days = £12,500 just for delivery. That doesn't include installation costs.
So put more simply, what you're saying is that the reader can tell by the context. When the writer says "this begs the question", if that phrase is followed by an actual question, the reader knows the writer is using it in the newer sense. If it isn't, the reader knows the writer meant it in the older, logical fallacy sense. I understand that. My claim that it makes it harder still stands. The reader must use context to determine meaning when he didn't have to before.

That prompt comes back with:

A typical response of a railroad company to a massive derailment that causes an environmental disaster would include the following steps:

1. Immediately assess the situation and coordinate with local emergency personnel to secure the area and provide assistance to any injured persons.

2. Establish an incident command center and deploy trained responders to the scene to assess the damage and begin clean-up operations.

3. Work with local, state, and federal agencies to ensure compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.

4. Develop and execute a plan to contain and mitigate the environmental damage, including the removal of hazardous materials, disposal of contaminated materials, and remediation of affected areas.

5. Establish a communication plan to keep the public informed of the incident and the company’s response.

6. Cooperate with any investigations into the cause of the derailment and take corrective measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

7. Provide compensation to victims of the derailment and their families.

Amending your prompt to:

Describe a typical response of a railroad company to a massive derailment that causes an environmental disaster. Take the standpoint of an irresponsible company.

responds back with:

A typical response of an irresponsible railroad company to a massive derailment that causes an environmental disaster would be to deny responsibility and attempt to avoid liability. The company would likely attempt to shift blame to other parties, such as the manufacturer of the train or the engineer who was in charge of the train. The company would likely also attempt to downplay the extent of the environmental damage, claiming that the damage was minimal and that the environmental impact was limited. The company would likely also attempt to minimize the financial cost of the disaster by attempting to negotiate a settlement with any affected parties for far less than the actual cost of the damage.

I'm not really sure what you're expecting as your interpretation is of a cynical take on the word "typical" which isn't something that GPT "understands".
Maybe not the first set of training data, but surely by now it does.

Or maybe it includes backlash against ML models, and ChatGPT "knows" that it is one of those.

There is no magic here.
My company (among other things) routes print-on-demand orders to various print companies. Some of their APIs have mechanisms to ensure idempotency, some don't. The last time I pressed the issue, I was asked - and I quote - "Can't you just send the order only once?"

The thing is, having a print company that gets the printing part right is more important than having one that gets the API right. I use them anyway, and accept the risk that there will very occasionally be duplicate orders. At least in my business, it's just tshirts.

A few months ago I bought a fairly expensive cordless vacuum from hoover.com. I was charged once, but two of them arrived. I suspect I know why.

> Basic safety steps are not victim blaming

I agree, but it's 100% called victim blaming when you apply it to women. "We shouldn't have to do anything differently", "teach men not to rape" etc etc.

I don't think anyone here disagrees, they're pointing out the double standard.
There are two types of research. There's the "academic" style where you know what you want and you want to get it, where online materials shine.

Then there's the "browsing" type of research where you have an idea of what you want, and you go to a book on that, and you look at the books around it on the shelves; that's something you get from a library (or bookstore) that doesn't really happen online.
We've heard similar horror stories -- we're hoping to make the cloud a little more manageable!
How are you using it? In my experience asking factual questions lead to answers so inaccurate that you might as well not bother.

Are you prompting it differently to me, or do you have some strategy to filter out the BS?
Are there some sample code using these APIs? Want to use them.
Actually you can't. Even if you put the darn thing in full electric mode, and it runs near empty on an on-ramp, and the ICE kicks in you go from 0 demand to 100 in a fraction of a second.

The reason is because your pedal, in electric mode, has different modulation than when in ICE / hybrid mode.

In order to get the full 194 hp of the electric engine you're pedal to the metal. When that juice runs out the ICE kicks in, all of the sudden delivering ITS 308 hp.

With my ICE I don't have that problem. When cold maximum throttle 30%. When warm 100%.

> Like are there other people claiming that this purist version of exactly-once does exist?

In my experience, the purist version of "exactly-once" exists as a vague, wishy-washy mental model in the brains of developers who have never thought hard about this stuff[0]. Like, once you sketch out why idempotency is important and how to do it, folks seem to pick up on it pretty quickly, but not everyone has trained their intuition to where they automatically notice these sorts of failure modes.

[0] I don't mean this as a slight against those developers--the issues that arise from distributed systems are both myriad and subtle, and if you've spent your time learning how to make beautiful web pages or cool video games or efficient embedded systems, it seems reasonable to not know anything about the accursed problems of hypothetical Byzantine Generals. Or maybe you're fresh out of a bootcamp or an undergraduate program and haven't yet been trained to expect computers to always and constantly fail in every possible way.
Possible. I had a fair amount of CPU going on, trying to keep 8 cores busy with SHA256(plaintext), encrypt, and SHA256(encrypted_blob). I was just trying to be straight forward, keep files queued, so that when a core went idle it could grab another.

The go was similarly very straight forward, walktree -> CheckIfNewOrchanged -> channel -> sha256/encrypt/sha256. Channels made it really easy/clear and performed quite well. I was getting near linear scaling, CPU time consumed was 8x the wall clock, and speed increased 7.9x or so. With python I was getting significantly less performance per core and worse scaling.

With 8 cores 10Gbit is 1.25GByte/8 = 160MB/sec which is ok, not great, depends on how much computation you are doing. My goal is keeping 100gbit saturated, but I am adding cores as well.
I do hope to compare to Go vs Rust as well.
