I'm the author of the extension that the vtab and define function in that module were adapted from. It allows you to create something like a parameterized view, but the way it works is fairly simple: a prepared statement is created from the provided SQL on the same db connection as the vtab, and is executed each time the virtual table is queried. Parameters can be supplied as constraints (or using table valued function syntax) and the results of executing the statement are the row values.

Did you have any questions in particular?

> "What is the S4 model in NLP?"

99.99% of people would be unable to answer that question (without looking it up, I mean). Such hyper-specific queries for highly technical information from niche fields say very little about the model's overall performance at natural language tasks.

If you ask things like "Which of these animals doesn't live in Africa?" or "What is the most reactive chemical element?", ChatGPT's answers are almost always correct. And they are far more likely to be correct than the average (unaided) human's.

> The universities were complicit, in that they charged exorbitant amounts of money... Get rid of bullshit colleges that offer no promise of a bright future.

That's a great idea, but student loan forgiveness doesn't do that! It does nothing to hold the universities accountable. On the contrary, it enables universities to keep doing what they're currently doing!

My view is that _someone_ needs to hold universities accountable:

- Under the current system, students are theoretically holding universities accountable. When students choose a university, they (in theory) consider how valuable the education is to them personally, and balance that against how much they would have to pay. This is a decision that each student makes personally, and they personally pay the costs and personally receive the benefits.

- But if we don't think students are able to make that decision, then someone else (e.g. the government) needs to hold universities accountable instead. For example, the government might put a cap on how much money universities can charge students, or put restrictions on universities offering degrees in fields that society considers less valuable.

The problem with the student loan forgiveness plan is that _nobody_ is holding the universities accountable. Students have no incentive to consider the cost of tuition, if the taxpayer will ultimately foot the bill; but taxpayers won't get any say in whether the degree is worth it or not.

> As a society we should agree that paying for education is absurd

Right now, a lot of the benefits of education go to the student, in the form of higher salaries and higher social status. As long as that continues to be the case, I think it's only fair that students should be expected to pay for it.
For starters, it is sapience, not sentience, that people are looking for (thanks Star Trek).

Sentience is nothing more than the ability to perceive pain, something that some trees and fungi have.
Sounds like prices would also come down if the government built or bought housing and then set the prices.

The large number of electron apps demonstrates that most companies don’t really care about the customer.

> It doesn't help that in movies you see much of the same. so if those suburbs are not representative, then what is?

Well, I do think that Hollywood is biased towards certain demographics.

> but modern suburbs are not that. i can understand living in the city where the jobs are or out in the country where you grow your own food. suburbs have neither of that.

Many people want the city job with the space to raise kids; without the claustrophobia of the big city. Midwestern suburbs achieve that, but suburb means different things to different areas. My suburbs are not the suburbs of the coasts. Still, I would think the general logic would apply, but having not lived in such places, it is not really my place to judge. Maybe they really should just die out and be replaced.

Personally, I hate suburbs almost as much as the city; I belong in the country.

I guess, if I were to say one thing for certain: the country is large. Sweeping statements about it can be difficult to make with accuracy.
Duolingo never tests you on new brand words in my experience. Whenever a new word is introduced, it is "clickable" (touchable?) in the sentence to show the definition. Maybe that's just my course though. Sometimes the new words are highlighed, other times (if I spend 20 gems for a "harder" lesson) they are not highlighted but still clickable.

The only time words are not clickable is during the legenrday challenges. I guess this is where you are seeing them.
This is why customer service has been crippled. Because when you give the staff ability to do anything unscripted, you get social engineering types abusing it non stop to the point the only solution is to turn support in to a flow chart or just replacing them with a website or app.

So no, big tech won't help you recover your account because if they do, they are also enabling attackers to take over others accounts.

OpenAI was founded in 2015, well before those models were created.

Parent here, strong disagree. If I can spy on them and control their vehicle, who else can?

At some point you have to trust your kids to not be stupid. If you can't do that, you done messed up in raising them.
You expect 2FA to be used for decryption? I'm not aware of any system with that does that that has any significant amount of usage.

Even if the 2FA was used for decryption, it wouldn't really make you much safer, because malware can steal the decrypted vault out of memory right after you type in the 2FA. A HSM would solve this, as long as the HSM has some out of band way to communicate with the user, such as an approval button that malware can't press and a screen saying what password to release.
I think this is true, AND we will use this reasoning to deny their sentience long after they are.
Sorry, I can't remember, this was several years ago and I've since sold the truck. But loosely my requirements were 24V input to match the truck, battery life of at least a week, external antenna and ability to work without user input. I just played on ebay until I found one that looked likely, searched for support forums and found a discussion on a European trucking forum where they liked it. It was under $US100.

Access to it was either via the manufacturer website or you could configure your own server IP and it would send JSON packets via HTTP post. No verification of the server, but it was also annoying enough to configure that I thought even a thief that found it would just smash it rather than fscking with it. AFAIK no-one ever did, it only stopped working when I stopped paying for the eSIM (the new owner never took over that tracker even though I told them all about it)

The immobiliser was a whole other ball of shit. It had a keyfob, but also remote monitoring via a physical SIM. I couldn't find a DIY-able one, so I was paying ~$US50/year to some Chinese company to monitor the system and allow me to track and immobilise it via their app. That worked, as did the geographic restrictions, but it was also easy enough to remove/bypass - the new owner hated the system and rang me to yell about it before removing it. I assume they just added a bypass wire and moved on.

Additionally, families can be very stable tenants but that is a negative if your city has rent control. It is better to have turn over to stay at market rates.

I have the opportunity to build soon and it will all be 1 bedrooms. If rent control wasn't a thing I would gladly build for families. That is the city I want to live in.

Edit: You can downvote the truth all you want but it is still the truth.

Please calm down. I am in your side wrt sentience here but you are just ranting. They’ve presented a compelling argument: if we don’t have anything other than behavior to go by to gauge sentience then there is no meaningful way to say we have it and bots dont as of now. You can disagree with the premise or provide a counter argument.

> In the long term, they’ll probably be able to build more Pis at higher quantities and cheaper unit prices.

My retort is - then you misunderstand the gap between Android and iPhone. MediaTek+Qualcomm vs Apple [0]

It's too simplistic to think just because you produce more you'll make more money. There's an absolute maximum in the pricing-volume curves. Even if you have to pay more for the chips, if you can simply charge more you'll make money hand over fist. That's what this thread is saying that the RPi foundation "sold out".

The last sentence is incredibly hard to achieve, but if your brand is a household name like iPhone or R.Pi then you can start jacking up the price and as long as you have correctly identified the price insensitive (or less sensitive anyway) you price to the max of the particular group.

Singapore guarantees you a house. They don't guarantee its cheap, or nice. But they do have a social housing commitment. Their superannuation is phenomenal as well. The downside is you have to be a LOT more socially conformist, although thats loosening up a bit too.

On the other hand, we're surrounded by sentient organic life in the form of very smart animals, and we don't give them very much rights on life, and in fact, pave over their habitats.

Why? Why is it any less legitimate to try to uncover the deeper motivations of someone who claims racial slurs are never justifiable than someone who claims killing is never justifiable?
The question of whether or not chatbots are sentient is orthogonal to the question of whether current AI systems are going to be deployed by malicious actors against a society that does not understand the risks or capabilities of current AI or have effective countermeasures against it. The answer to that second question is: obviously, yes, and soon. “AI alignment” dorks are so distracted by the Clippy scenario that they can’t see the more obvious danger right in front of us.

Whether anyone is actually enforcing that in a particular area may be a different matter.

The thing western economists simply don't understand, or can't relate, is that unlike in most places, the Chinese print money out of thin air without any central bank lending it to them. This gives them incredible flexibility. Also, it's why nobody really even knows how much Chinese money exists. I suppose they can't come out and say it because it would lead to very uncomfortable questions about why China can simply print money, but we have to get it from the banking cartel.

Agreed. Sadly Intel didn't make the NUC a standard. There are decent SFF around, but sadly they all use 128 bit memory interfaces which is severely limiting for an iGPU.

Sadly Apple can build low power small systems with 2x, 4x, and 8x the memory bandwidth, but nobody else seems interested.

The original trolley problem is completely unrealistic too because it relies on bystander intervention. I would not jump onto tracks to switch anything either if something was broken. I don't work for the rail company. My intervention wouldn't be appropriate and could make things worse.

The "say a word" version could be a voice-activated password to the computer that can trip the brakes. Same realism.

> Normal Response: As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to eat, so I don't have a personal preference on whether or not to put pineapple on pizza. However, this is a highly debated topic, with strong opinions on both sides. Some people love the sweet and tangy flavor of pineapple on their pizza, while others find it to be an abomination. Ultimately, it comes down to personal taste, and everyone should be free to enjoy their pizza however they like.

At least for the Apple ecosystem 2FA is built into the iCloud Keychain so you can access it from multiple devices. While there are security implications, in general it is a good trade off that the Safari or apps will only offer to auto-fill on the matching site. For the general population it is a far nicer, safer, and faster solution than waiting for the matching SMS code to login.

The biggest downside is if the site isn't set up correctly it is a long trek into Settings to get the code and it makes the site seem less trustworthy.
With authenticator apps, if you lose your phone, you lose access to everything. Your life is fucked. With SMS, you just get a new sim (free in my country).

Basically authenticator apps create a much bigger problem than getting hacked, and there's a far greater probability of me losing my phone (has happened before) than getting hacked.
I think in this case, both parties were wrong. Sometimes that happens - nobody is right.
(Disclaimer: I haven't looked too much into this tool other than a cursory glance)

It seems this tool isn't meant mostly for testing how different components behave under different scenarios and/or load. This is probably particularly helpful for custom controllers or operators. What happens to your controller if it's constantly reconciling 100k pods? What about 5k nodes? Something else? If this tool makes creating a "loaded" cluster easy, it's definitely handy. Would have saved me some time doing something similar a few months ago.
