A bazillion mobile phones with similar cpus, ram, AND screen, cameras and other sensors, battery, bla bla bla aren't being subsidized. Lots of them are at similar price levels.
They use a lot! But not because they're autonomous, but because they are 2t bulky vehicles that need to be propelled forward!

> Daily reminder that bank runs wouldn't be a thing if we did duration matching, forbidding banks from borrowing short and lending long.

If we really want to prevent bank runs, shouldn't we just forbid lending?

Snark aside, transforming duration is a big part of the value that banks add. In general, there's a lot of demand for lending short and borrowing long. Banks add value (and risk) by taking the opposite side of those trades. I'd rather have banks that suffer occasional runs (which really aren't that common at this point) than banks that don't transform duration
Yes, and that's a fantastic strategy.

Steal the bits that work, don't steal the bits that don't work, get cooler but slowly without adding a bunch of useless rough bits along the way.
You can't even give us one level for free? I'll settle for half the plane if you just let me play it with friends!

I don't even know why I'm frustrated at being unable to play this. It looks so boring, but so addicting... like one of those 2012-era iPhone games you'd see someone spend an hour on at an airplane terminal. Maybe I should go look for openings on the Delta website.
Due to the current chip shortage, electronic favourites such as raspberry pi have been almost impossible to find. I have decided to build a marketplace where users can buy and sell such hardware with the option of paying with crypto.
It's more palatable to be moving at only 65mph or even 55mph if you're a passenger and don't have to pay attention, as opposed to being an active driver going 75-80mph to finish the task as soon as possible. And I doubt self driving cars will be programmed to speed and then slow down when they spot a cop, where human drivers are generally overspec'd enough to do that.
> Daily reminder that bank runs wouldn't be a thing if we did duration matching, forbidding banks from borrowing short and lending long.

Yes but this is a valuable service for the economy and so society has decided that it's worth the cost of insuring the risk of a bank run in exchange for the economic benefit of banks doing this.
Operators make sense when you need to automatically modify resources in response to changes in the cluster's state.

An example that has come up for me is an operator for a Kafka Schema Registry. This is a service that needs some credentials in a somewhat obscure format so it can communicate very directly with a Kafka broker. If the broker's certificates (or CA) are modified, then the Schema Registry needs to have new credentials generated, and needs to be restarted. But the registry shouldn't (obviously) have direct access to the broker's certificates. Instead, there's a more-privileged subsystem which orchestrates that dance; that's the operator.
Yeah sounds like textbook bank run or cryptocurrency exchange collapse, it's bizarre that this kind of things keep happening every few years.

Airline travel is safer - but the amount of "safety stuff" done there is much more extreme, considering how there's little vehicle training, not much maintenance, and driving continues at all times and in all weather.

This isn't to say we shouldn't try to make it safer, but that we should correctly understand where the risks are.

That and stable diffusion. While I am not really excited about either technology use in my personal life, I do understand what a huge leap they are. They are both things that few saw coming in the fashion they did and so quickly.

Yes, it took decades of research to get the foundations made and then all just sort of suddenly crystalized into a cogent thing.

While there are folks out there who could point back and call it now, a lot of them were just throwing mud at the wall hoping it would stick. Like Jeremy Rifkins predicting stuff like this back in the 90's to put us all out of work by the far off year of 2000.

What will be the next big thing? I haven't a clue - few people probably do.

It is when the loans are priced correctly.

This is a clear and obvious sign that the price of long term loans is wrong.
It's possible that this name is wrong, but Krebs has a long history of correctly discovering the real life identity of cybercriminals a year or two before they are arrested.
Not very common. Most consumer and business checking and savings accounts are demand deposit accounts here.

The default path for slightly higher interest on a fixed term in the US tends to be certificates of deposit. They’re similar but functionally more like a bond you purchase than an account you can deposit into regularly.

I wound up writing an in-house tool that pulls the program files from each camera on the machine LAN over FTP and commit them to a local Git repo. There was also some futzing around with XML to get the backup metadata to work seamlessly, but it's not too hard to figure out.

Now getting co-workers to use Git and not various combinations of "Copy of (1) Copy of visionproject (FINAL) 3-2-16 2a.zip" was a different challenge.

I got my job in the middle of COVID lockdown and one of the key things the recruiter impressed on me was having a good place to do the interview. Not just the obvious stuff like no kids running around screaming. A separate space that could be quiet and undisturbed, paying attention to the background, tidying up so it didn't look visually cluttered and take away the focus from me, etc.

She did a good job of pointing out how the video surroundings made a substantial impact on how the candidate was perceived when interviewing remotely.
It's also your s p a c e to breathe on the internet... Whatever that means.
Perhaps we have different definitions of "civilization-ending". Even if what you describe here actually happened, I wouldn't characterize that as a civilization-ending event. it would just be the passing of another nation. Civilization would continue, just as it has when nations have fallen in history.

Although, I do need to add, while your scenario is technically possible, I do think it's vanishingly unlikely. The US has been down that road before and survived, as have many others.
OK I get that WWE is like a soap opera entertainment for some, but betting on a scripted match? That just doesn't make any sense. Right?

> I never checked whether rustc preallocate memory for uninitialized variable or not. I bet it doesn't even in debug builds, because it knows in advance when variable is used. C compiler can work without this knowledge, but rustc cannot: it needs to check lifetimes and borrowing. Yes, it is normally seen as an optimization in C, but in rust many of C optimizations become a part of a language.

Local variables just get a slot on the stack. Allocation is done for several at once, and it would be a lot of work to handle it per-variable for negligible benefit.

It would be especially difficult to handle code that has multiple variables and moves one into a Box, chosen by a calculation, then keeps using the rest. I bet none of that memory is going to get reclaimed, it will just sit there marked "do not touch".

But that's all about a stack with optimizations and deliberately vague semantics. We can also learn something by looking at objects. Rust objects work like C++. To move a field out, you have to replace it with a placeholder version of that field.

These are fair criticisms but imo miss Chomsky's much bigger point.

From Chomsky's essay, 2 important lines:

"Whereas humans are limited in the kinds of explanations we can rationally conjecture, machine learning systems can learn both that the earth is flat and that the earth is round. They trade merely in probabilities that change over time.

For this reason, the predictions of machine learning systems will always be superficial and dubious."

He's saying we trust humans because they can say things like "I'm pretty sure X because of explanation Y" and under the hood, we process the explanation, form our own probability of X and trust our own computation.

But since LLMs cannot provide explanations for their beliefs, humans will never be able to rely on LLMs because the way we actually communicate is through explanations, not probabilities.

Chomsky's conclusion: this is a good predictor, but not a human.

Where Chomsky is actually wrong is he mixes up how good are you at prediction vs. how well can you convince a human of the prediction vs. how intelligent you are. We humans use a combination of accuracy + convincingness as a marker of intelligence.

An AI that was just as accurate but 0 ability to convince a human because 0 ability to produce explanations could still be intelligent. This AI would seem like an alien to us, but an alien that could uncannily beat us at any challenge that requires an understanding of the natural world. In fact, we might never truly understand its internal explanations of the world, but still acknowledge it has them and is good at building new ones internally.

Imagine being in a room with a foreign language speaker who beats you at chess. Clearly they have a mental model that works, even if they cannot explain it to you.
That's odd. I downgraded with asdf to 1.12.2 tried the same thing and it worked on my M1. You could try upgrading either Erlang/Elixir. Failing that, there's a lot of helpful people on elixirforum.com (which now features live chat), so it might be best to ask there.

I’ve been trying to find a a way to connect a Colab instance to Dataspell but there doesn’t seem to be a way of doing it, if anyone here has managed to do it I’d love to know how.

Running a local Notebook server on windows has proven to be kind of annoying (the server that’s integrated with Dataspell) because it always has some sort of an issue downloading PyPi packages on Windows so much so that I’ve had to use Ubuntu with WSL as the server. Even Pycharm with virtualenvs was running into some of these issues while attempting to work on other projects… and I’m not downloading some obscure PyPi package… even popular projects like Flask and the Requests package we’re having issues.

As much as I see the concerns, the issues that could arise from resilience are issues that can arise anywhere where human self-interest is present which is just about everything. I am excited for firms to start focusing on greener office buildings, even if their are some using it to greenwash for optics.

Though as I mentioned, I completely see your point. I guess I should rephrase to “I am excited that there is the potential for positive action in this space.
That just means the initial prompt says something like, "You are an expert Wikipedia research assistant. You can only reference material found on Wikipedia. Try your best to help the user by giving summaries of Wikipedia content. Do not reference material from other websites!"

The model is still trained on a broad corpus like ChatGPT3, i.e., the Internet. The corpus of Wikipedia alone probably isn't enough training data.

If you can take an iOS image you download to your computer (and you can with iTunes) and make it work without Apple custom hardware go for it. Or do you think that Apple should be forced to support third party hardware?

> Buying an integrated product isn't the same thing as buying a product because it's integrated. By definition if they want any of the parts that isn't available separately, they have to buy the whole thing.

So again should Apple have been forced to make the iMac modular enough so you could rip out the PPC and put in an x86 chip so you could run Windows because you preferred Windows, but you like the Bondi Blue iMac?

Should Apple be forced to sell their custom chips to other manufacturers? What if I just want the T1 security chip in my Android Blu R1 HD I bought from Amazon, should Apple be forced to sell it to you separately?

You're right, after looking in their documentation I found that they are very conservative with which strings they filter out.

They only look for specific KNOWN user-level targeting strings to strip. This is actually a very nuanced route for them to take. Other plugins will just filter out everything following a query.

Here is the fine details for those interested: https://github.com/brave/brave-core/blob/master/browser/net/...

As a marketer, they do mention that they retain Campaign level parameters, however the click ID is more than just a user-level identifier. Many times a click ID is the only thing that survives different environments in order to provide any attribution at all.

In fact, a click ID is much more privacy aware and anonymous in every circumstance than a website giving you your own user ID. All good web platforms generate a unique ID for you, which is not anonymized for the web platform. Whereas the click ID is always anonymized for the web platform. When you combine the two, you get a very basic piece of information: this user clicked this ad. Now those websites will still know who you are as a user, and still know which campaign you came from, but not when you specifically clicked. Wow, what a privacy save!

Removing it does very little to reduce what Google knows about you. Google does not need your click ID. The only time it is used is for conversion attribution, and it is completely anonymized between the ad platform and the marketers who run the campaigns.

So this is mostly just sticking it to the little guy, as large data platforms don't need ad-level click IDs to track you. But if you want to make sure that no marketer ever gets credit for driving you to perform an action, then this is for you!

Known in the sense that they know it’s possible, sure. Known in the sense that they know what the likelihood of any given rate increase is over 15-30 years (and are therefore capable of pricing it in)? No.

“Priced in” has a very specific meaning, it’s not a generic term for being aware that something might happen.

If this is true, then why do the pop-up dialogs have meaningful choices? And if the dialogs are the fault of the GDPR, why does there exist GDPR-compliant websites without the pop-up dialogs?

You can levy your criticism at the earlier Cookie Law, for its failing to anticipate its nullifcation via terms of adhesion and general lack of technical aptitude. But the GDPR addressed those flaws.

The main limitation is that liquidity risk regulation are not adequate. As recent example shows the reality is that risk is underestimated under the fake premise of accounting rules. Asset liability mismatch is the survival risk for a bank. Once you start creating an imbalance that forces to take action by seliing assets it is just creating a negative cycle. Also now people will ralize that treasury is not risk free.
