Things have changed a bit, but not much.

First, Google heavily censors results nowadays. You will get much more results with say Yandex.

Second, TPB is no longer the best public torrent host. For public sites rarbg and 1337x are better alternatives.

Also, for anyone actually doing this kind of stuff regularly, the key is to enter the world of private sites. There is more than enough public discussion around them on sites like reddit. https://old.reddit.com/r/trackers/

So, it's still really easy. Your knowledge (like TPB) is just outdated. However for people who have equivalent modern knowledge, things are simple.
> True, but most of human history was also pretty awful. If subsistence agriculture is your idea of a good time, nobody's going to stop you. But it's definitely not what most people want.

I can't tell - are you arguing that soft money is a necessary precondition to industrialization?
I want to signal boost this a bit because it's so incredible once you see it. The "arr stack" is a suite of interconnected software that automates finding pirate media by integrating with a HUGE number of ways to search for torrents, Usenet, etc. It's all self-hostable and with Overseerr as "pick what to download" frontend and Plex as the media viewer, it works so well that it's a genuine Netflix replacement, so easy that parents can use it.
Good thing that courts usually don't operate on one side saying 'just trust us', and everyone going home.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and all you have is... Well, not even any circumstantial evidence, it's just conjecture. Just 'they could have done it, so they did it!'.

Just because things may not have turned out one way doesn't mean that you can come in and insist that they actually turned out a different, particular way - without anything to support it. And then base the rest of your argument on that.

(This is also a complete tangent.)
“Diddy laugh” seems to be the name chosen for it.
Ring sound effect is a square wave using the sega master system's sound channels, not an FM synthesis effect using the Yamaha FM chip.
Hundred percent. You're not competing with Python, you're competing with Pip.
Then what is the point? Account compromise is already a serious danger today. AI makes it worse, but it doesn't make it a new problem.
Your comment is full of exaggerations and factual errors. For liquor, every province is different. Some have government owned liquor shops while others have independent stores. Some have a combination.

Government run car insurance only exists in two or three provinces. It’s the exception, not the rule.

The CBC is not “on government payroll”. It’s run independently but government funded. If you’ve got significant evidence of political parties interfering in the CBC’s reporting I’d love to hear it.

I’m not sure why you singled out Canadas first black, female, Governor General as being a problem. The GG’s role is a ceremonial, public facing, non-political role that perfectly suits someone well known who’s adept at public speaking. She’s not even the first former journalist to get the posting. Others were famous astronauts, military heroes or business leaders.

While there’s some truth in what you say (health care is in a real pickle, the dairy board is just bizarre) the rest is textbook right-wing propaganda.
I used Gandi's email service as just an SMTP service to send notifications from various scripts and apps.

Any alternatives I can use? Ideally actual SMTP and not some API, some apps I use only support the SMTP protocol.
is this the one they use for iron man occasionally?

Yup, and you stop using a bank which is in trouble.
Is it possible that removing a camera from the front of a car is a big enough change that it would require the car to go though crash testing again - in multiple countries?

Might be cheaper to use a dummy camera until the Model S/X is fully redesigned and has to be retested.
Fun fact: the MSVC C++ ABI gives up if the mangled name is >= 4096 characters, it just replaces the symbol with md5(mangled name): https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/d32f71a91a432db2d9...
That’s a regulatory rule which can be suspended not the underlying economic reality. “On April 9, 2009, FASB issued an official update to FAS 157[35] that eases the mark-to-market rules when the market is unsteady or inactive.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark-to-market_accounting

We’re currently in some interesting times: “As announced on March 15, 2020, the Board reduced reserve requirement ratios to zero percent effective March 26, 2020. This action eliminated reserve requirements for all depository institutions.“. https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/reservereq.htm
So GPT could cut you off and launch their own and you would be fucked?
Indefinite == not definite, i.e., not for a specific duration. It doesn’t mean ‘forever’.
The strangest part of all this is why there is a random screenshot of Flight Simulator... Really adds the cherry on top.
I'm personally horrified that the normal response to this isn't "if I catch you using ChatGPT again, you're fired".

What are you paying people for if not their unique contributions? What do they think they're doing when they farm it out to a tool, other than inviting you to cut out the middleman? How on earth do they expect to become better at their jobs this way? Have they no shame or sense of pride? It's pathetic.

This is entirely orthogonal to the question of whether GPT is intelligent.
The environmental cost of oil is global while the wealth and profits are concentrated in those nations. It’s the opposite problem.
Yeah. I understand...
They no longer have a competitive advantage and I'll be moving all my inboxes to MXRoute.

RIP Gandi
It’s geopolitically a terrible idea. Didn’t anyone learn any lessons from COVID about globalization? Or the Russia-Ukraine War? Even among countries that are close allies (EU) energy politics are a huge problem and countries that import energy always get the short end of the stick when there is a conflict of interest with the exporting country.
The problem is HA hammers the DB all day.

When I do logging I buffer in ram and dump all at once, and often I just save min/max/avg over a period rather than every transition.
:D yeah. Sometimes.
I'm saying that your argument is bunk. People also lived without effective dental care for long periods of time. People lived without all sorts of things. If you want to show that something is unimportant, you have to do more than wave vaguely at recorded history as if it were all pretty great.
am I wrong in reading that they were unable to find out where the photo was taken and who took it?
When I see things like this I have a visceral reaction that I just can't get over.

Yeah, this is the crux of it. Many responders here seem to believe they have a choice in the matter, or perhaps more acutely that their limited choiceset is the only factor in what happens.

People seem to have forgotten that government, trade, and economic policies enabled the status quo and it will be used (we can actually see it already is) to modify it. It's pretty hard to justify whining about your pampered lifestyle when the next folks can't even afford to eat.

Forgetting for a second food and agriculture (the biggest problem in carbon pollution that no one likes to talk about), it's no secret that the up front cost of an EV is higher, even with subsidies. It shouldn't be hard to imagine the logical continuation of that concept, extended through to supply chains from chips all the way to raw minerals.
Thanks for replying, your assertion that this is not rocket science causes me to believe that your experiences do not overlap with mine. Alert flapping is a trivial example of a service health indicator being misaligned with reality. If the indicators you work with are always comprehensive, accurate, and precise that’s wonderful but it’s not a plausible reality for complex systems [1].

It really shouldn't matter. An elevator full of people shouldn't fail just because they all jump in unison, so long as the number of people / weight is below the maximum capacity.

We view banking differently because ultimately banking is political and powerful people benefit from being able to leverage without a pre-defined plan to handle some aspects of the downside risk, even though creating such a plan is straightforward. Creating such a plan would surface the cost of the plan in advance and it's easier to pretend it was an "impossible" and unanticipated phenomenon rather than just greed.
I figure it’s a stand-in for embodiment.
Yup - it was also fun to find that some games were keeping the HP points as text - there was at least one, involving a ninja (but can't remember the name of the game).

Oh, and that tool was someone else that wrote it, not me. But was quite popular in the PC clubs I was going to.
Permaculture 101: What is it and why should you care?
Fed should have mandated bigger reserves and done better stress testing before raising interest rates so fast. Anything long duration tanked like 20% in mark to market value.

SVB is probably not the last shoe to drop in this story.
Voice chat with Discord on PS5 consoles
I had a dedicated server for.. 4 months? or something before they suddenly required a scan of my ID before they would let me renew. Really weird and annoying. No abuse complaints or anything awry I was doing with it either :/
I think a lot of overly-eager and under-informed people are jumping on the bandwagon and shouting half-baked proclamations from the rooftops to get clicks and views.

But underneath all the bullshit is something truly useful, so I wouldn't necessarily say that Confidently Incorrect™ is ChatGPT's primary ability.

Coincidentally, over the past few weeks of this ChatGPT craze, I've needed to create a lot of fake data to seed a database. Normally not a big deal, but these records need to have foreign keys pointing to one another. I wondered whether ChatGPT could help me out, so I briefly described the fields I needed, their format and data type, the type of information they contained, etc etc. It did it almost perfectly, and fixing the little errors was trivial. I was dreading having to do this because it's such a pain in the ass.

To me that kind of thing is going to be the most useful application. Everyone's freaking out (in both the "scared" and "excited" sense) over AI's ability to replace creativity, but I'm focused on it's ability to replace toil.
Don’t Let the Idea of the Gym Keep You from Your Workout
I like the concept in general more than this implementation… it feels like this is a boutique form of a specific business report I see offered for sale occasionally while researching a new idea. There’s a little niche of business analysts who make a living selling “market opportunity” oriented versions of the more common “product/market analysis” reports you see floating around. The kind that list the companies either making the product or serving the market, and how much their estimated costs are by research into their consumables or best guess operations costs, staffing and average salaries, and estimates of potential profitability of sales figures are possible to gather. The niche of “opportunity” reports tends to take this format and focus less on the total profit or cost and more on the operating margins each company is likely working on, with a bigger emphasis on potential disruptions from related industries, known market trends and when appropriate customer demand and sentiment. I’m basing this off the few I have read and I’m by no means an expert in these reports since they usually try to sell them to you for several thousand dollars which, like I said, means I’ve read only a few of them in full.

This feels like that kind of report… but without enough information and (currently at least) for pretty “trivial” problems that people have in aggregate. I personally don’t find it hard to browse reddit and see what people are bitching about. I could probably even automate it with some sentiment analysis and keyword extraction scripts if I really couldn’t find anything to spark a new idea…

All of this is to say that the current implementation feels like the only things your going to suggest are low average revenue per customer/user bulk/aggregate user experience problems… what I wish for is more of a bounty board where sufficiently pissed off people can post their “demand” and flesh out the thing they want to see exist, others can “me too please” them so I can tell if it’s just one random person or not, and they and subsequent people can post a ballpark of what it’s worth to them… this isn’t the same as a freelance listing site… that’s a deliberate contract pipeline the people posting there have the money and already want to pay someone to make something… what Im thinking of is conceptually close, but where the relationship is “many to one”. The freelancers are in a “one to one” contract with the people posting the things that want built, where as this is a “many to one” opportunity where the makers/developers that look at the things people want and think to themselves “I could do that”, have the opportunity to sell their work to the people that stood up and said “hey I want this but I can’t make it, I’d any else does I’d totally pay for it”.

But that’s just me wanting a cool idea source and a sales lead generator to hop in the blender and make me a delicious new way to find places to earn money… I’m sure you’ve got a longer term product vision and if this is where it’s starting, it looks like it’s off to a good start, just not going the direction I personally wish.
100% on how it "takes over the world". We treat it like an oracle, hand it over willingly in mindset alone.
"mansplaining as a service" is the term I've seen used. Or Artificial Cliff Calvin.

All browsers deal in advertising, it's the only way to make money on a free product.

And if you don't want the JS that Eich created to run in your browser, you can turn it off... most people like to run sandboxed code instead of installing native programs.

Mozilla makes most of their money from Google Search referrals.

Chrome was entirely built to put more eyeballs on Google ads and track you.

There's a lot more privacy features built into Brave than there are in other browsers. It's user oriented, not adtech oriented.

Of Brave, Chrome, and Firefox, who has the built in ad blocker?
There's no issue with mass transit. It's possible. It's even inevitable.

I guess it depends what you mean by mass transit but communal, shared transportation solutions that replace private vehicle ownership. Yeah, that's simple.
Great specific examples, thanks! I'll pick a few and add them this week.
It does fine with bat and cmd stuff syntax. I used chat gpt today to convert a bat file that added/removed reg entries to PowerShell. You can always just ask it to write what's written in code if you describe it in English.

I dont know why people are staring this thing in the face and pretending they can do better at the first pass. I've used chat gpt to do the following so far:

1. Answer tickets that help desk spent days trying to figure out. Simply asked the bot the same question and got better results from a piece of code than our outsourced MSP. It's embarrassing, we sent the answers it gave to the techs and asked them why we need them at all, when they can't figure out why basic things don't work...

2. Asked it to write powershell, with commands no one had time to google, with try-catch logic, and less than 5 minutes put it into production

3. Asked it to write demo C# code, which it got wrong but right enough to be helpful and move us along

4. Asked it to rewrite many of my horrible, direct emails to corporate speak so they doesn't ruffle any feathers

5. Had it write 10000-word document piece by piece, sent it to legal and received zero revisions, all I provided was a narrative and some connecting sentences and questions.

6. Rewrite so many memos

7. Write thank you emails

8. Write performance reviews, by taking one and rephrasing over and over based on minor adjustments like, more direct, less direct, more fluff, less fluff

9. I am not a native speaker, chat gpt often gets it wrong but, often it makes my two sentence emails just perfect

10. Had it take various compliance tests...

Maybe ya'll are super geniuses but based on my observations over the past 15 years, the bot does better than I'd wager %70+ of the people I've ever met, interacted with, depended on or managed professionally. Its not moody, it doesnt catch feeling when its told that it is wrong, and is predictably wrong when you expect it to fail, it great at generating corporate bs speak, pleasantries, projecting forcefulness, explaining condensed thinking in words that non-tech people can absorb, etc.

It's like the universal translator from star trek version 0.000000001 for me for the metric ton of BS that I deal with on a daily basis. I get better results out of the thing than out of most people I currently have to direct.

Doesn’t the issue you’re talking about have nothing to do with privacy?
> - Promise.allSettled. THIS is useful. I've implemented this (under a different name) in almost every code base I've worked on, and got bit HARD by not understanding this behavior long ago (huge production outage that took hours and many engineers to discover)

You and your team didn't understand how Promise.allSettled behaved?
Oh, that is fair. I assume https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch doesn't work for you?
I would not go as far as to say they are getting worse, but two events in recent history piss me off because it makes for a shit customer experience.

1. Getting rid of features like passenger lumbar and justifying it by saying few people used it. I've also been around long enough to remember they temporarily got rid of side-dimming mirrors on Model 3, only to bring it back months later. Supply chain woes or whatever - it's better to be transparent about this.

2. Getting rid of features like ultrasonics and not having a production-ready hardware or software solution for things like Park Assist. When the move to vision-only Autopilot was made, there were also several limitations to the vision-stack.
So what? Henry Kissinger who is 99 just wrote a fantastic article [0] (along with Eric Schmidt and Daniel Huttenlocher) about the AI revolution recently. (Much more worthwhile than the Chomsky piece.)

Savings don't grow, not in real terms and on a societal scale. A miniscule fraction of real goods and services in the economy can get buried in the basement and saved for thirty years.

But yeah, it kinda stinks that we invented artificial creativity before we invented a bot that can fold and put away my laundry.
Same. Midi file. Music only started playing when I clicked on a link to another page
Widevine is Google's DRM. Their lack of linux support makes it difficult.

The point of the article is to support it instead of bypassing it, thus not violating DMCA.

Specialized’s quest to build the friendliest, most capable e-bike ever made
Santos really strikes me as the living version of this: “I’m like a dog chasing cars, I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught one, you know, I just do... things.”

Looks like he was doing fine as a small-time con artist and criminal. Stealing puppies and stiffing landlords and skimming cards and selling ponzi shares is a living, of a sort. Maybe he intended to run for Congress and lose? Then nobody would be asking about his finances, and he'd have a whole new set of suckers to exploit. But winning has been very inconvenient for him.

Regarding Chomsky's characterization of LLMs "gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data" compared to the "miniscule data" required for a child to learn a language: The brain is evolved, so the the "gorging" already happened in animals for 100s of millions of years. The brain has a lot of evolved sequence processing, visual processing, language (the authors are linguists and they admit this though it undercuts their point). Only fine tuning of this pretrained model is needed for a child to grow up speaking, say, English vs. French. This requires only a relatively miniscule amount of data.

Moreover, it doesn't matter that LLMs work differently from the human brain. Per Larry Wall, TIMTOWTDI ("There is more than one way to do it").
Pretty interesting that I knew precisely which sounds you meant before even clicking the links
I got to play with this welding simulator at a Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) open house last year. Seemed cool.
If this is true, wouldn't it be reported elsewhere? Also, what does this mean: GPT4 is coming to what?
As opposed to what alternative? Would we rather Iran/Russia/etc be poorer or redistribute the wealth to other countries as if oil isn't a geographic right? Punish oil nationalization or pro-nationalize but be more like Venezuela where everyone gets even poorer despite a boom in oil prices?

I don't see who this is an 'inverse problem' without a realistic alternative.
One nuance might be that those are two difference senses of fake news.
In one case, we have news that is wrong.
In another case, we have an insult aimed at reporting that we don't like, regardless of accuracy.
Not just privately either, there have been tools circulating even on GitHub.

For a L3 example there's one repo [1] that's kind of still up but not really. Still enough to show that it happened. L1 bypass has also been on GitHub briefly. However these things get deleted rather fast for obvious reasons.

This is a great website. It also makes me nostalgic for the old internet, where it was more amateur and novel.
I mean it’s just as bad as buying it at the peak.
I think their licensing agreements probably mandate that Netflix needs some sort of DRM to check a box.
That’s only relevant if you need to sell it or use mark to market accounting.

The US banking system has been given a great deal of regulatory leeway due to recent economic turbulence, including setting reserve requirements to 0%. So market value is only relevant if they need to sell before maturity.
But Google Plus succeeded - all the permanent employees got a special bonus because of Google’s success in social (first part is sarcastic, second is true).

I don’t know about “astroturf” and I don’t use Brave or follow it particularly, but the qualms with Brave’s insertion of referral codes and the negative comments around their apology all seem to miss the mark or seem vendetta-ish / politicized.

For example; complaining about privacy, (which was entirely unaffected) or complaining that they couldn’t have possibly done it by mistake (which is not what they said happened).

When I see repeated comments saying wrong things emphatically, it certainly sets off a bit of a radar.
